Chapter 13: The Role of Foresight
readx;
After a long night of talking with Selena, Fed also felt a little tired. During the conversation between the two www.biquge.info Ayana entered the room several times and brought fruit and tea. She is like the maid next to Field, taking good care of Field, and Selena also teases Fielder that he is really lucky to have such a group of good subordinates.
Selena mainly put forward two points, the first is about what kind of mercenary group the potato mercenary group should be.
In the Church Knights of the Papal States, each Knight Chief will be in charge of some knights, and each Knight team will have its own characteristics and style, which is a very important thing, and it is also something that everyone who plays the role of Knight Chief leader must pay attention to.
Selena tells Feder that her former subordinates were the kind of knights who reacted and acted very quickly. And her subordinates are still able to maintain a rigorous focus on their work in most cases, and rarely appear to be giggling. This also has something to do with Selena's own character, this female knight of the original Church Knights grew up in a knightly family, and her family upbringing is very strict, so she also has very strict requirements for herself. For example, Selena will get up at 6:30 in the morning every day, her hair will be tied up, and there will be requirements for dressing. Such female knights already have something different from others in terms of spiritual outlook, which also makes Selena's knights belong to the most rigorous, self-disciplined and collective spirit among the knights of the Church Order.
A knight team with such attributes is a very lucky thing for Selena, although because of the strictness of her knights, many people are reluctant to join Selena's knights, but those who remain are elites. Selena also told Fidel that most of Kiro's subordinates were greedy for money and were not trustworthy.
"If you want to set the attributes and style of the potato mercenary group, you must first set an example for the leader," Selena said to Fidel very seriously, it seems that she has already considered this aspect of the matter, "Those famous mercenary groups have a leader with outstanding personality, and the characteristics of the mercenary group are fixed with the leader. ”
Fei De agreed. Not to mention the mercenary group, his father's Iron Wall Knights were also a very distinctive knight group. The knights of the Knights of the Iron Wall are accustomed to wearing heavy armor, and even the vests of the war horses are very thick, and they are like a wall, fending off all enemies who want to invade the kingdom of Salins. Each of my father's subordinates had an indomitable will, and most of the knights were very strong, able to wrestle with brutes and boars.
However, he has always been quiet and cold, but he is not a serious person, and it seems inappropriate to build the potato mercenary group into a very disciplined mercenary group. In Fed's mind, if each squadron leader and squad leader can be flexible and independent, that is the ideal situation - the entire potato mercenary group can become a powerful fist when it needs to be combined, and it can be broken into pieces when it needs to be dispersed and fight separately, so that the potato mercenary group can become the ideal mercenary group in his mind.
Fylde told Selena about his idea, and the other party agreed. During the time she joined the Potato Mercenary Group, she had learned about the abilities and characteristics of each squadron leader and squad leader, and they all had obvious differences, if they could give full play to their respective strengths, they might really be able to become the kind of mercenary group that Fid idealized.
"This will require a lot of trust and delegation of authority, allowing them to freely lead their subordinates and recruit new subordinates, while also reducing your stress. Selena said.
Fei De was not the kind of regiment commander who was particularly strict with his subordinates, because among the Fei De believers, Andre was the real leader of this mercenary group, and he was just the captain who temporarily replaced the other party to perform the duties of the regiment leader. But after more than half a year of experience, many things have changed, and this mentality has also changed subtly. Now if you want to build the Potato Mercenary Group into a mercenary group with a variety of different attributes but can freely exert your strength, you must first convince all the squadron leaders and squad leaders to convince you, otherwise, it will only evolve into a basin of scattered sand in the end.
Selena suggested that Fidel put each squadron leader and squad leader in the right position, although the current squadron leaders can be considered to be able to play their strengths, but many newly-promoted mercenaries who have been promoted to squad leader by the squadron leader have not had in-depth contact with Fidel, and Fede needs to work hard here as a regiment leader, instead of meditating on the map every day.
"My knights and I are like friends, I remember the names of every one of them, and if I hadn't been in a hurry, maybe some of them would have followed me here. Selena used her own subordinates as an example.
In addition to being clear about what kind of mercenary group to build, Selena also suggested another key thing that Fidel needed to focus on and decide as soon as possible - about the goal of the potato mercenary group.
Every year, the Church Knights set a goal for each knight team, whether it is how many people to recruit, or how many formations to train, or even to ensure that there are no bandit gangs in any area, in short, everyone will move towards a certain goal within a year, and every knight will remember the goal of the year every day, and keep working hard for this goal.
"We also need goals, preferably clear and achievable, short-term, medium-term or long-term. For example, we want to be a national order. ”
Selena didn't know that Feder had turned down an invitation from the Theoguna Empire, but many mercenary groups did aim to become Knights. Whether it is a knight under the command of the nobility or a national knighthood, most of them are very yearning for the status of the "sword" of the ruling class, that is, the knight. It is a step to a higher level of nobility, a springboard to power, and it is also an identity that can glorify one's ancestors and not worry about eating and drinking.
"I don't intend to be a knight of any nation," Fielder immediately responded, "and even a privileged mercenary of a particular nation is not for me." ”
"Privileged mercenaries are only available in the Empire, not elsewhere," Selena smiled, showing her white and neat teeth, "But you must be careful, Commander, if a mercenary group wanders and works in various countries on the mainland, it will cause distrust and dissatisfaction among those in power." Maybe the knights who fought the Empire today, and attacked the knights of the Kingdom on the side of the Empire the next day, then we would go further and further in the direction of defeat. ”
What Selena said Feder had also considered, although his goal was clear, if he looked at the potato mercenary group as a whole, there really was no clear goal. It is also for this reason that the potato mercenary group left the Papal States, the Western Oguna Empire, and formed a bond with the Eastern Oguna Empire, and now they don't know which direction they should go. His subordinates trust him, but it's time for him to set the goal of a mercenary group, a beautiful blueprint that all his subordinates can imagine.
"If it were me, I still hope that the Potato Mercenary Regiment can be on the right track under the leadership of you, Captain Fidel, and not wander forever. If you want to live on the mainland as a mercenary forever, you should also choose a good place as soon as possible, where you can gain the trust of those in power and slowly increase your strength. ”
Selena's words to Fidel caused Fidel to pause, and until Selena left her room, Fidel was still reminiscing about the Cavalry Squadron Leader's advice and advice. Both visionaries and short-sighted people exist among their subordinates, and Selena, who has just joined his team, happens to be the former, and Fei De doesn't know if he can really implement the results of the discussion, but he finally has a direction.
Fed stood on the windowsill again and opened the curtains. The inhabitants of the city of Dumu gradually woke up, and each of them had a restful night, while Fed stayed awake all night. But at this time, Fei De was relieved, he slowly rolled up the map of the mainland, and began to plan in his heart how to build the potato mercenary group and what short-term and long-term goals to set.
Ayana came in through the door with her breakfast in hand, and she saw that Fidd's face was no longer tense, and she saw the anxiety and uneasiness disappear from Fidd's face.
