Chapter 181 Military System Reform

"As long as we can think in a targeted way, and improve the arrangement and arrangement, then the Warcraft tide will no longer be a threat," Lorist said. ”

"I think the Warcraft Boom is also very beneficial, at least it brings us a lot of fresh meat," Bodfinger said. Uh, sorry, I ate too much mutton......"

El said: "I want to eat vegetables, potatoes are fine, don't give me beef, I have been eating beef and drinking beef soup every day for more than two months, and now I want to ......vomit when I smell beef."

Pat said, "I agree with Eyre that I'm going to eat potatoes too......"

Dorus said: "In front of our chariot corps, all demonic beasts are scum!"

Josk said: "I think the emergence of the steel crossbow designed by adults has changed all this, without good weapons and equipment, blood and courage alone will not be able to resist the tide of Warcraft." ”

Master Fallin said: "The advent of the steel crossbow has made us no longer afraid of the arrival of the tide of Warcraft, which is a great innovation in the history of bows and crossbows. In the future, we will refine and improve the steel crossbow again. Our goal is to shoot farther, faster, more powerful, and more accurate......"

Shi Fatzi said: "I suggest that the reward for the meritorious personnel who are fighting against the tide of demonic beasts this year is one hundred catties of demonic beef, what do you think?"

"Good magic cowhide is the best material for making leather goods, and it should be dried and tanned for storage, and the almost magic cowhide should be used to make animal skin paper." The best beef can be marinated, smoked and preserved, and minced meat can be used to make sausages. We can boil the bones in soup and drink, and after boiling, they are taken out and burned into ashes to make fertilizer. We must make good use of everything we can use, and waste is the most shameful act. But there are so many demon cow corpses to deal with. It's a bit of a lot of work. My lord. Can you send me a few more family soldiers to help? With these 10,000 people alone, it is difficult for us to dispose of so many demon cow corpses in a month......"

Due to the extremely lucrative harvest in this Warcraft Tide, Lorist mobilized nearly 100,000 people in the family territory to complete the aftermath before May.

......

On May 10, Lorist held a new year's meeting of knights and civil officials at Rock Castle, and Shi Fatzi made a summary report on last year's work.

“...... Last winter's Warcraft tide brought us countless skins and nearly 30 million catties of beef and mutton and other Warcraft meat products, and it can be determined that our family will no longer lack meat in the next three years. The most inspiring fact is that the Warcraft Tide is not a threat to us, but a grand hunt harvest ......"

The audience applauded thunderously, from the despair of facing the Warcraft tide the year before last to the rich harvest of the Warcraft tide last year. Everyone present saw the hope of living and working in peace and contentment.

"After a whole year of hard work last year, we have improved the defenses of all the villages and central towns in Fengle Yuan, so that we can survive the tide of monsters. This year, the focus of our work is to improve the construction of roads and housing in various villages and central towns, so that all the people who settle in Fengle Yuan can have a safe and warm home. This is not only a promise from the adults to the people, but also a reward for the people who have gone to the trouble of following our northbound convoy to the family territory......"

"In addition, we will also establish the management structure of the seven districts of Fengle Yuan to improve the grassroots management of the tun reclaimed villages. All departments should continue to maintain the fine style of hard work and simplicity, guard against arrogance and rashness, and make greater contributions to the family in the new year.

Last year was a difficult one. But after unremitting efforts, we finally ushered in a good harvest and joy. Last year was also a harvest year, and the various workshops run by the family have made the family territory self-sufficient. We believe. Under the leadership of our adults, the future of our Norton family will be even brighter!"

The applause rang out warmly again, and the conference ended successfully.

After the meeting, Lorist left the six Golden Knights and some of the knights in charge of the family's armed forces, such as Fat Boy, Telman, and Yuri, and held a meeting again.

This time, Lorist focused on military reform.

The military system prevailing in all countries on the Gelinthia continent is mainly based on the corps system, with a corps subordinate to the corps, a corps subordinate to the corps, a squadron and a squad under the brigade, and according to the type of troops, it is divided into a longbow brigade, a heavy armor squadron and a spearman squad.

The number of a squad is about eighty to one hundred and fifty, and the squad leader is the most basic commander, and then the squad leader appoints a few of his cronies as deputy captains to assist in the management of a dozen or dozens of people.

Lorist was most unhappy with this, as the loss of the squad leader and vice-captain in battle could easily lead the squad into chaos. What Lorist wants to do is not to overthrow the entire corps system, what he wants is to refine the squad structure and implement team-style management.

To this end, Lorist proposed a plan to reduce the size of the squad, a squad of ten people, the implementation of a mixed formation, no longer a single branch of the establishment, but ten people in the sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and longbow soldiers, in the war can be effectively cooperated.

The goal that Lorist hopes to achieve is that each squad can become the kind of mandarin duck array combination he had heard of in the Qi family army in his previous life, but he had only heard of it, and he didn't know about the combination changes of the mandarin duck array, but he believed that it could be explored slowly, and in the era of cold weapons, the team with cooperation was the most effective in the melee of the war, whether it was lethality or self-preservation.

For the knights of the Bodfinger family, Lorlist's idea was simply to introduce the tactics of the mercenary squad into the family armament, which was not unusual. In the combat cooperation of more than ten people, it is an indisputable fact that the mercenary team is more powerful than the family soldiers.

Above the squad is a squadron, ten squadrons form a squadron, the squadron is a hundred people, then five squadrons form a brigade, a brigade of 500 people, above the brigade is a battalion, five combat brigades plus a garrison logistics brigade a total of 3,000 people form a battalion. In Lorist's vision, this battalion was a unit capable of fighting alone.

Lorist was ready to vigorously reorganize the family armament, first of all, to disband the three garrison corps, more than 80 cantonment villages in Fengle Yuan, each village to form a garrison squadron of 100 people, and seven central towns plus the industrial towns of the Blade Mountains to form a garrison brigade of 500 people. In addition, Maple Grove Villa and Rock Castle also formed a garrison of 500 people.

The main duty of these garrisons is to guard the town and be responsible for the security of the surrounding area. The reorganization of these garrisons was left to the Golden Knight Fareia. It is required to be completed within this year.

Farea stood up to take orders.

Lorist also ordered the Golden Knight Marek to form a squadron of patrol officers in each town, numbering one hundred, to be responsible for civil and criminal cases in each town, and to manage the health and law and order of the town, and the required personnel were selected from the retired family soldiers and the disbanded garrison corps.

Lorist then slashed his machete at Baldfinger's Heavy Armor Regiment and Tiger Ross's Iron Lancers, and asked them to form two battalions of 3,000 men each. The soldiers who can enter these battalions must be of black iron strength and be between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, and the officers can be under the age of thirty-five. Lorist emphasized. He asked not for numbers, but for elite soldiers.

Dorrest's chariot corps was also changed by Lorist to three battalions of 9,000 men, as the family's most important long-range unit, the chariot steel crossbow has replaced the position of longbowmen, and Lorist does not want to make a big move.

Yuri's three brigades of scout light cavalry were reorganized into a 3,000-man cavalry battalion, and the rest of the reduced men and horses were divided into 100-man squadrons and incorporated into the garrison logistics brigades of each battalion, except for the elimination of age and fighting strength. In Lorlist's vision, each battalion of the garrison logistics brigade would consist of a squadron of scout light cavalry, a squadron of guarded heavy armor, a logistics squadron, and two squadrons of baggage escorts, so that the battalion would have 2,500 main soldiers and 500 auxiliary troops. Only then can we have the certainty of fighting alone.

Joske's archermen battalion was not moving, and Lorist was already working with Master Fallon on a new cavalry bow. Preparing to replace the longbow of the archery battalion, but after testing several kinds of longbows in succession, the power of the longbow seems to be far away.

Telman's Knights didn't move, but the establishment was also changed by Lorist to a battalion of 3,000 men, and Telman still had to recruit a few hundred.

The guard battalion under the command of Er has been vigorously reorganized, and the original guard battalion has been expanded to a scale of more than 5,000 people, according to Eyre, the guard battalion is miscellaneous, they are the escort convoys, they are the ones who guard the mine workshop, they are the ones who take care of the prisoners and work, and they are the ones who follow Lorlist, and the whole is the all-purpose glue, and the first thing that comes to mind is them where you need it.

This time the guard battalion was divided into two, and the guard battalion under the command of El did not care about anything other than Lorist's orders, and the newly formed guard battalion took care of the treasury and the mine factory. Lorist was also preparing to form a second battalion of guards from among those whose family forces had been retrenched, and would be responsible for guarding the work of more than 30,000 prisoners.

In addition to the Guards Battalion, the guard squadron of the former bandit Ovikis was ordered to be expanded into the 1st Guards Battalion, which was responsible for defending the Rock Castle. And the Pachco knights of Maple Grove Villa were ordered to form the second battalion of the guards.

Lorist pointed to the map and said that this year he plans to build a fortress castle in Woniugang, where the archers are currently stationed, first, to provide protection and support for the two mountain military fortresses on the border between the Demon Dragon Mountain Range and the family territory, and second, this is a strategic location, connecting the two mountain military fortresses in the east, overlooking the river valley, the black mud swamp in the north, and the poplar beach in the west. As long as they control this place, even if the two mountain military fortresses are lost, the mountain barbarians will not be able to attack the family territory. And this is the road that must be passed through every winter monster tide. In the future, if the scale of the Warcraft Tide is not large, we can even directly block it here, so that it will not be able to go to Fengle Plain.

The family had planned to build a fortress here before, but it lacked manpower and troops, and several major families in Kitano Town were dragging their feet, so they couldn't implement it. If you want to build the terrain of this cow hill, you have to build a large fortress castle, and if you build a small one, it will be lacking and useless. Now that the family is strong, it is time to build a fortress and castle here, and the second battalion of the Pachico knights will be stationed to keep the family's territory safe.

Finally, there is Miss Baisha's women's battalion, which performed very well in the previous two operations to sweep up the demonic beasts stranded in Fengle Yuan. Lorist allowed Miss Bertha to expand the women's battalion to 3,000 people, but required every member of the women's battalion to be familiar with battlefield ambulance and the use of various potions, and Lorist was ready to make the women's battalion a battlefield ambulance.

Regarding the pharmacist team of the northbound convoy, Lorist believes that the mission has been completed, and asks the person in charge, Renmord, to establish medical bureaus in major towns, and place those pharmacists who have coerced northbound along the way to the northbound convoy to be in charge of the medical bureaus in various towns, responsible for treating the people.

As for Lenmerd, Lorist gave him two options, either to be the head of the Rock Castle Medical Headquarters, or to go to the women's battalion to teach the female soldiers in potions.

Lenmed beamed and went to report to Miss Bertha.

Bodfinger asked, "My lord, after our family is armed, it will be a battalion, and there will be no more corps and regiments?"

Lorist smiled: "How is it possible, the current development of the situation is dominated by the legion, and even the Kenmeth family has to form a family legion of 30,000 people, not to mention the first legion of the Iberian Kingdom of 56,000 people formed by the second prince." My plan is that in the future five battalions of 15,000 men will be one corps, and five corps of 75,000 men will be one corps. At present, the purpose of streamlining the family's elite army is to set the frame armor first, and then expand it later, which is a very simple matter. ”

"It turns out that the adult is planning to do so, I understand, I must train an elite family armed force according to the instructions of the adult, please rest assured. Boderfinger said.

"But sir, why haven't I been arranged?" Belunik stood up.

"Don't worry, I have something important to entrust to Big Brother Baker. Lorist waved his hand and said: "I am going to set up a recruit camp in Maple Grove Villa, this time all the soldiers of the family who are still between the ages of twenty and twenty-five and have not yet reached the standard of black iron strength will go to the recruit camp for training, and only after reaching the standard can they enter the army to serve." In the future, the various units of the family armed forces are not allowed to recruit soldiers on their own, and the vacancies will be supplemented by the recruit battalion.

In addition, in the future, men who have reached the age of eighteen in the family domain must enter the recruit camp and receive training for vindictive awakening, and women can volunteer to participate for a period of three months. The unawakened can participate in three consecutive sessions, and all future family soldiers will be recruited from among these awakened young people. The standard of the family soldier is a regular battalion-level unit, with a black iron rank in fighting strength and a garrison above bronze. Once the number of people is reached, it can be expanded. The director of this recruit camp is in charge of Big Brother Baker. ”

"Yes, sir. "Bérunec bowed.

......

If we do not count the garrisons of the various villages and towns, the total number of family armed forces that are still maintained is 16 battalions, with a total number of nearly 50,000. For Lorlist, the ratio of civilians to military is maintained at 1 to 10, and in this statistical regard, Lorist deceives himself by treating the garrison and patrol as militia, ignoring that these two troops also require the family to pay a monthly salary with real money.

Fortunately, the family territory is in the Northland, and the northbound convoy did not make a few trips along the way, but instead robbed and became rich, accumulating a huge fortune of up to three million gold fords for the family, plus the White Lion Legion's standard weapons and equipment that were given away for free, so Lorist can still afford to raise this family army.

Now that all the industries in the family territory are in the hands of the family, no matter how much Lorist gives preferential treatment to the family soldiers, he is playing a left-handed to right-handed trick.

After discussing the rules and regulations on family arming with Shi Fatzi and others, it was already the end of June. Lorist was about to give himself a two-month leave to Maple Grove Lodge to spend time with his precious son, when the Earl of Kenmasse visited again.

This time, Count Kenmax came for the agreement signed last time, not only transported 33,000 sets of iron armor and supporting weapons and equipment from Rock Castle, but also saw that Hunter was happy, and spent 200,000 gold fords to buy a large amount of snow salt and 2 million catties of smoked demon beef from Shi Fatzi.

Shi Fatzi, who completed the transaction, was indignant and very angry. Because he knew that as long as the Earl of Kenmath resold the snow salt and the smoker beef, the two hundred thousand things could be sold for at least five or six hundred thousand.

Lorist thinks that this can't be helped, and that someone else is in control of the rope bridge for external traffic. And we can't always keep it in reserve if we don't sell it, after all, these are all self-produced by the family, and we can sell a little if we can.

Shi Fatzi thinks that he must find an outlet to the sea in the family territory, and the family still has so many good monster skins and furs, which can be sold at a high price if they are brought to Morent City.

Loris nodded, now that he had a goal, he would have to wait for time to take a look.

...... (To be continued.) )
