070 The Southern Army marched north
The walls of the war hall are painted with murals, depicting the customs and customs of the provinces of the kingdom, among which there is a side about the province of Grad, but there is a blank space, a big corner is missing, since the loss of part of the county, Boni took him down, ready to regain the lost land and repaint, and now finally to take this step, Boni is excited in his heart.
The conference table was a large, long-sided square table, with Bonney sitting in the main seat, Randall taking the first seat to the right, with different priorities, and the other officials all stepping back and sitting on the left and right behind Randall.
One on the left and one on the right, on the left are five civil bureau chiefs, in order of chief of the political bureau Homer, director of the war bureau Siyi, director of the commercial bureau Hu Li, director of the industrial bureau Ugui, and deputy director of the legal bureau Si De.
And the Grad army is in charge of four people, all four of them are sitting on the right at the moment, in order of Wing Captain Qilin, Wing Captain Sleeping Bear, Wing Captain Ruju, and Wing Captain Merlin.
Five years ago, the province reformed the military system and divided the standing army into three types: officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers.
Officers are divided into two types: school officers and lieutenants, with the school officer's epaulettes being a full moon and the lieutenant being triangular.
There are six types of officers: second lieutenant (colonel), lieutenant (colonel), and captain (colonel), and non-commissioned officers are sergeant, sergeant, and corporal. The lowest unit is called a detachment, with eight people per detachment, and one is selected as the corporal detachment leader and one as the corporal captain.
The upper level is a squad, every four detachments, a squad, the squad leader is a sergeant and concurrently serves as a squad leader, the deputy is a lieutenant sergeant, and there is also a corporal level logistics sergeant, a medical sergeant and a clerical officer.
Further up is the squadron, the squadron leader is the officer, called the lieutenant, the four squadrons are a squadron, the deputy is the second lieutenant and the deputy squadron leader, and there is a logistics officer, a medical officer and a clerical officer, and there are also war horse soldiers, and war horse crews, who are responsible for horse management.
The higher brigade, after many competitions, was decided, the same is the quadrangle, the captain is a major, the deputy captain is a captain, and the third person is the chief of staff, who is responsible for managing the staff officers, intelligence officers, managers, financial officers, etc. below.
A brigade, nearly 500 people, was originally the highest establishment, but recently Bonnie and Randall have made another change, plus the position of wing leader, for every five captains, there is only one wing. The standing army of the province of Grad suddenly increased from 4,000 to about 10,000 men, so the wing commander also produced four.
The Wing Commander was given the rank of colonel, and the four Wing Commanders, with a combined age of nearly 200 years and more than 150 years of service, were all good men who survived the war.
"Ladies and gentlemen, within two weeks, we must prepare at least six wings (fifteen thousand men), corresponding swords, spears, crossbows, shields, leather armor, helmets, horses, donkeys, baggage, catapults, etc. must also be prepared, and in terms of food, prepare rations for half a year's troops, and we will go all the way north to quickly take the Norman provinces, and they are now sending troops to share the war in the north in support of the Duchy of Kent, and they are short of manpower. ”
Poni returned this time and successfully contacted some southern lords to form an alliance. When they heard this, most of the people were overjoyed, and the war would kill people and destroy the economy, but it also represented conquest and expansion of power.
In the past few years, the various reforms implemented by Bonny and Randall, although they damaged the land interests of many nobles, but after a long time, the economy is prosperous, the population is growing rapidly, and the life enjoyed by the nobles is better than at the beginning.
In fact, two years ago, some people suggested that the province of Grad should be unified, but Boni did not adopt it.
"Who is the captain of the two wings that come out?" There is humanity.
In addition to the officials around the square table, there were also very old knights and nobles with military merits, a total of six people.
For this important military position, they all want to fight for it, after all, it is a war with a great chance of winning, and they all want to make more credit.
"I have a candidate, and it will be announced in a few days. After Bonnie finished speaking, everyone looked left and right. The co-captain is very sought-after, and he commands the noble position of thousands of people, and he wants to make himself a person. Some people were already preparing to wait for the meeting to adjourn and meet with Bonnie in private.
"God bless Adolf!"
An old knight suddenly shouted, and the scene became even more lively.
"Great, I've been waiting for this battle for a long time, my three sons are all adults, this time I'm going to come back for the remaining two to fight for a share of the family business, and marry a northern woman to come back to warm my bed. An old Garter knight laughed.
"What you said is that those in the north are all soft-footed shrimp, defeated in the First World War, and conquered the Norman Province, that land, all of which belonged to Adolf and the adults. One more agreed.
"Wait, everybody. Homer said, "The army marches on the stomach, and the way to the north is long, and the number of lord checkpoints delays the speed of the march, and the enemy has a high probability of holding the city, so I suggest that it should be safer to prepare food for half a year to a year." ”
Homer's words carry a lot of weight, and some people think that there is too little food and grass when he mentions it.
"No, but I still let out rumors to the outside world, saying that we are ready for two years of grain, and if we do not achieve our goal, we will not give up. Bonnie pondered.
Homer is a little strange, it stands to reason that Boni has a calm personality, and he is always 100% prepared before he acts, how can he be so sure that he will be able to take it quickly, but he didn't object again, there are so many people here, you have to respect the lord, he asked in private.
"If you haven't decided, I'm willing to do my best to win the first victory for our army. After the War Chief Xiyi Dao, the scene fell silent
"Let me come, although I am fifty-eight, I am not inferior to any young man, this time I will cut off twelve heads, and complete the record of 100 beheadings. This time it was Qi Lin Brigadier who spoke, after he and the sleeping bear became in-laws, there was a faint frame of the leader of the team, and the sleeping bear next to him didn't say a word, just nodded with Qi Lin.
"I also ask for my life. ”
The third to be the commander was Baron Ruju, who made good use of the cauldron as a weapon, and once killed a knight in a cauldron on the battlefield, and was born with divine powers, with eyes like bull's eyes, and earrings on his ears, which he learned from the pirates of the North Sea, and ranked third among the captains.
He has some discord with Qi Lin, often secretly competing, his ancestors are also loyal to Adolf's family for generations, and the title of inheritance is also higher than Qi Lin, and he has always been unconvinced by the rank of rank. And his shortcomings are also obvious, he is too emotional, often angry over small things, and Randall even thinks that he is mentally ill because he also puts his enemies in the oil pot .......
"I petition. ”
The last wing commander, Baron Merlin, who had just taken the seat to replace his uncle, was very young
He is a newcomer, just from the post of magistrate, only thirty years old, the family is the Linton family with white roses as the totem, so he is known as the Baron of Rose, in terms of appearance, he is far better than the other three captains, it can be said that he is suave, and he is also very friendly to his subordinates, and he is quite popular.
After these four people expressed their stance to lead the army, the highest voice was Xiyi, with Homer's support, the largest number, followed by Lin, followed by Merlin, and finally Luzhu.
At this meeting, Boni has decided to take command in person, and the second deputy has been hesitating between Xiyi and Qilin, the two are equally loyal and have made achievements in the military, but Xiyi is younger.
Seeing that the Xiyi party was the most numerous, Bonnie thought of Randall's current state of blindness, and avoided the already strong Homeric faction, and became more powerful, and decided to let Qilin overpower him to keep the two in the balance of competition.
"I have received your loyalty, but this time I will personally enlist, and set up the post of chief of staff, a wartime position, Qilin, you will take over, Xiyi, you will serve as deputy chief of staff. ”
Qi Lin was overjoyed, and Xiyi's eyes were a little lonely, and then returned to normal, the deputy chief of staff, it was quite acceptable, if the standing army was expanded in the future, he would at least rank second, better than others.
Lu Zhu was angry, only he had one vote to support him, which was a great shame, but Merlin's expression remained unchanged and he couldn't see his thoughts clearly.
After some more secrets, Bonney ended the meeting, leaving Randall alone.
