Chapter 361: Reserves
1. Luo Ming's current disarmament is absolutely not a peace-loving move.
"The main point of this disarmament work is to ensure food production in the territory and avoid a shortage of young and middle-aged laborers, and at the same time to make as full preparations as possible for the next war. ”
Luo Ming opened with such a sentence in the conference room.
Such words may be shocking to ordinary people.
But to the ears of Luo Ming's subordinates, they felt that it was very suitable.
Although they are in a state of peace, this peace is limited to not casually starting a large-scale war.
The kind of skirmish between the two sides, which only has a few hundred people, whether it is the royal family or the county guard, is simply impossible to manage.
Moreover, in the event of a natural disaster or famine, some nobles may choose to rob other nobles to pass on the conflict, and the evil gods and believers will not completely give up the idea of making trouble because of this defeat, and sooner or later they will come again to cause trouble for the principality and the goddess of springwater.
Moreover, in a few years' time, an all-out holy war against the cultists may break out, when both the evil and the righteous side will have to mobilize their own strength to fill the meat grinder one by one.
This holy war is not determined by the will of any one person, not even a single god.
After all, when evil recovers, it will certainly try to defeat the righteous side, and in order to prevent this, the righteous side must also preemptively fight a preventive war when its own strength is sufficient, and the other side has not yet reached its strongest state.
Unless the anger and resentment of the tens of millions of people on the continent who have been hurt in various ways in the conflict between good and evil cannot be appeased, unless the conflict of interests between the gods of the righteous path and the evil gods is completely eliminated, and they are allowed to let go of their centuries-old festivals...... Otherwise, it will never be stopped.
Luo Ming continued: "Although this expansion of the army to 600 men is a last resort in response to extreme conditions, it must now be withdrawn. However, these soldiers who survived the high-intensity war themselves belong to a kind of property, and even if they are withdrawn, they cannot be easily turned back into peasants, which is a great waste. ”
Dungar patted the handle of the wheelchair and said approvingly: "It is worthy of the king, what he said makes sense." A real battle can often sharpen people more than months of training!"
The fact that he, an officer who had served in the regular army of the principality, said it was even more convincing.
"Your Excellency, do you already have an idea? You might as well say it, and we can help you with it. Dakang said.
"That's right, I've come up with a prototype and structure, and I need your help in perfecting the details. ”
With that, Granty spread out a large roll of linen cloth on the table.
There are many words written on it, and there are some pictures to express the meaning, so it is not difficult to read.
Luo Ming smiled and said, "I named it the militia reserve system.
The core idea is to outmaneuver the enemy in all aspects at the same time with a very fast mobilization rate, a high average quality of soldiers, and a large number of soldiers, so as to ensure complete victory.
It is not possible to temporarily recruit people who are completely untrained to die in vain, and similarly, the available resources cannot be reduced because of lack of training time. ”
=======================================
Luo Ming did not know exactly when the reserve system on Earth was invented and when it was perfected.
But according to Aya's knowledge, it can be inferred that there is no perfect reserve system in this world today, and at most there is a little rudimentary form in a few regions.
To put it simply, the system that he has now established and perfected with the help of his subordinates is to register all young and middle-aged men and even a few old people and able-bodied women in the territory, divide them into different reserve ranks, and undertake the corresponding military service obligations.
First of all, in his territory, healthy men up to the age of eighteen and up to forty years old undergo a five-day small military training every three months, and a ten-day large-scale intensive military training every year.
As long as you complete the first round of military training, you will automatically become a member of the reserve.
There are also grades in the reserves, which represent their level of quality, and are also used to deal with different situations.
Any soldier who retires from the front-line army, the top 10% of individuals in the national military training, as well as those in the backbone militia, automatically become a first-class reserve.
In peacetime, although they can farm at home, they have to gather at the appointed time to receive additional military training, twice a year, for 30 days each time, to ensure that their quality is excellent.
When it comes to war, the first reserve must immediately join the army, combine with the professional officers who are standing troops, and quickly transform into an elite force.
Of course, the disabled don't have to go to the front line...... But they can at least be a logistics officer or sheriff or something.
A person who has served in the first reserve for three years automatically becomes a second reserve. At this level, there are also ordinary militia members and young men who have done well in the national military training - 30% of the total number.
If the scale of the war is not small, after all the first-level reserves have been mobilized, it will be the turn of the second-level reserves.
Luo Ming plans to follow the example of the Soviet "shadow division", and when the second-level reserve is about to be used, he can immediately pull out an experienced and capable team of officers to lead the army composed of second-level reservists.
The so-called shadow division refers to the officers in the army with more deputies, and try to provide opportunities to train the abilities of these deputies.
At the critical moment, you can pull out the deputies, the deputy captain becomes the main captain, the deputy squadron leader becomes the main squadron leader, and the squad leader is the same.
Although the captain only brought a total of four people, it is impossible to have a deputy, but a few veterans can be promoted to become a captain.
In this way, a full set of officers can be assembled at once sufficient to command a new force.
In peacetime, the second-class reserve has two major training sessions a year, and although it is not as good as the first-class reserve, each one has twenty days.
The duration of the second-level reserve is six years, after which it is transferred to the third-level reserve: this level also includes those who have performed moderately in the military training of the whole people, which roughly accounts for 40 per cent.
They only need to undertake ordinary military training for the whole people, and there will be no extra training unless it is wartime.
Although when the second-level reserve is also mobilized, it will be the turn of the third-level reserve, but they are generally not assigned difficult tasks such as attacking fortifications, and are generally used as auxiliaries, city defense troops, etc., or to suppress bandits and the like, and even it is not impossible to dig pits, cut down trees, or transport grain.
