Chapter 127: A New Army - Rumors Reappear
Grandpa Mao said: "Politics comes out of the barrel of a gun." Iger thought deeply of this, and although he had no idea about rebellion, revolution, or anything for the time being, he removed the word "regime" and turned it into "out of the barrel of a gun_____. In this chaotic and backward world, the role of having an armed force is immeasurable. For the construction of his own army, Egger has always been attentive, has already made a draft, and is confident, and does not need to play on the spot.
The army is a combat collective composed of soldiers, and it is necessary to organize it into units in order to easily calculate the strength of troops and command and transfer. Iger first determined the composition of his security force: ten people in a squad, three squads in a platoon, and three platoons in a company...... And so on.
There is a huge difference between having and not compiling this thing, but it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. Before the military reaches a certain size, there is not much difference between whether a basic establishment consists of nine or ten people, and whether a higher-level establishment includes several lower-level establishments, and as long as there is a fixed number and a law, there is no need to put too much thought into it.
Training is key.
......
"Keep the sword class, and get some bows and crossbows, it's not enough to just use melee weapons. Egger opened the conversation and gushed out: "Plus physical training and drill in the ranks...... It's not enough to fight, it's also discipline and obedience!"
"Bows and crossbows and ranks...... Discipline and obedience?" Geros asked, somewhat uneasy, "My lord, do you want to train an army out?"
Egger stared at Geros for a few seconds, didn't answer the question, but looked at Nina: "The boys of the logistics and security department, what is the basic salary?"
"A silver deer a day, my lord. ”
Iger looked back at Geros, "How about this salary, is it enough to support the family?"
The Minister of Security didn't know what the leader wanted to say, so he had to answer honestly: "It's enough, a month's salary, and I can plant land for half a year on top of ordinary farmers." ”
"Then I'm relieved. "To the high-ranking members of the Night's Watch and the nobles who can become customers, Egger is willing and must patiently explain and induce. But now that he is facing a subordinate, he wants to rest his brain. The other party understands best, but if he can't understand the fuck, he doesn't raise stupid people: "What makes you feel like this - I offer a soldier-level salary to recruit a group of people who only watch the factory?"
Geros heard the dissatisfaction and questioning in his boss's mouth, and gradually blushed like Nina who suddenly saw Egg: "Understood, my lord...... I will do what is in the army. ”
"It's good to understand, Tyrion chooses you, I believe you have some skills, don't let me down. "The Night's Watch Legion is a military organization, a military organization that trains soldiers, even if it is passed out, what can others say?" Egg didn't intend to hide it at all: "In addition to what you experienced in the army, I have to add some content. ”
Then, Iger brought over the same set of modern military use in his memory: standing, queues, passwords, paces...... and even housekeeping training. Whether it is static or moving, the team should be neat, the action of carrying out orders should be fast and decisive, the work and rest time should be regular, all the clothes and equipment in the bed and room should be placed uniformly and neatly, and the commander should take the initiative to march and salute......
Despite the streamlining, Egger managed to make the listeners stunned - it's just a small army, practice, why is it so complicated?
Geros didn't remember much at all, and immediately spoke: "My lord, I can understand the military-style drills, but ...... It takes time to exercise and practice swordsmanship, to practice queuing, walking, putting daily necessities, folding quilts...... What's the use of that?"
***
What's the use? For Geros to have this question, Iger can actually understand, let alone the people in this backward world, even in modern society, there are still people who question the army's queue and internal affairs training as formalism and a showmanship with no practical value. It is difficult for them to understand that under the appearance of these "formalisms", the level of completion of these trainings actually represents the level of discipline in the army.
Believe it or not, under the same equipment conditions, the combat effectiveness of the army lined up neatly and beautifully folded quilts is high, and there are no exceptions in ancient and modern China and abroad.
If equipment and individual quality are the flesh and bones of the army, then discipline and obedience are the soul. The Unsullied is powerful precisely because of its deformed but extraordinary military spirit. Such a special example is difficult to replicate, and Iger is going to take the normal path, and there is no doubt that it will be difficult to train free men who have independent thoughts, who can be lazy and comfortable, into a new army that is forbidden like that...... Thankfully, the Night's Watch industry is not bad for money now.
***
He doesn't plan to explain more, the superiority of the modern army's method of training soldiers, you have to use facts to speak, there is no way to explain it in a few words, if you need to explain any order you give yourself, then don't live a life in the future: "I just said one less thing, in this army I want, unless it is a combat meeting, the subordinates are not qualified to question the decision of the superiors, I say what you should do, you just need to answer 'Yes, sir!' and then work hard to complete it, from top to bottom, including you, this is the case, understand?" ”
Geros was unconvinced, and he looked at Egg with a serious expression, then at Tyrion.
"What do you want me to do?Could it be that I recruited you, so I should help you speak?" Tyrion glared back unceremoniously, "I didn't hear what I just said?Lord Egger is the big boss of the entire Night's Watch industry, and I'm also his employee! Are you kidding me?" Tyrion actually had doubts about the purpose of housekeeping training, but he had developed a blind trust in Egger. He is a god teammate in Egger's eyes, but Egger is also a god teammate in his eyes?
The dwarf raised his hand behind his back and looked at Geros with a dissatisfied face indifferently: "If you understand the orders of your superiors, then carry them out, if you don't understand, find Nina to settle this month's salary and go home to retire, she happens to be here, you don't need to run." You used to be an officer of the capital garrison, but the monthly salary of a golden dragon is for you to do things, not for you to watch the other three teach the recruits swordsmanship all day long!"
......
The previous visit process was all peaceful, how did you get to the security department, two big leaders scolded a subordinate? This made the atmosphere a little stiff, and the heads of other departments around wanted to round the field, but they didn't know how to start.
As a big man, who can swallow this kind of anger when he is criticized in public? Geros really wants to throw off a sentence of love and do who does it and then leave, but in the face of a golden dragon's monthly salary, thinking of the family waiting to be fed, the Minister of Security really can't be willful, took a breath, and lowered his head: "Yes, sir!"
He didn't say much more, but asked cautiously, "But...... I don't remember what you said, Lord Egger, can you ...... Will you write it down and give it to me?"
"No problem, a lot of things, I can't say it clearly, I'll go back and sort it out, print out all the rules and regulations, and have a copy for each person. Although there is no need for friendship between superiors and subordinates in the army, Egger finally relented and gave the other party a step down: "You try this first, if you still think that these non-combat training are useless after a month or two, just come to me!"
That being said, if the other party does come to him in a month or two, then he can really get out.
"Almost. Tyrion said, "There's also a warehouse area, where you can see the Night's Watch industry when it expands further, and the products that have not been delivered, or the materials that have been purchased in advance and are waiting to be sent to the Great Wall, can you go and see them?"
"Is there anything in the warehouse?"
"It's only been half built, where is the thing? ”
"What's so nice about that, let's stop here. ”
"Well, I think so too. Tyrion smiled: "Okay, it's not too early, it's time to disperse, Nina, you take Arya to play, and Casey is also here, I have something to say with Egg, I want to talk privately." ”
The little she-wolf was upset: "There is nothing unsightly that I can't hear!"
"Whispers between men. Tyrion winked at Arya, and took the lead towards a small tower not far away, a dozen meters high.
Iger wondered, but followed.
After walking more than ten meters and leaving everyone behind, Tyrion took out a small note from his pocket and handed it to Egg: "Look at the reason why I didn't dare to return to King's Landing recently. ”
(Don't you dare to go back to King's Landing?, aren't you too busy in the Night's Watch Industrial Park to get out!?) Egg took the note, glanced at it, and his doubts suddenly turned into a cold sweat.
The note was written about Cersei and Jaime's promiscuity and adultery, and in order to strengthen the persuasion, it was even written that the members of the Baratheon family were all black-haired, and the three princes and princesses, Joffrey, Tommen, and Messila, were all blonde.
"Where did you get this note?"
"Where did you come from?" Tyrion sneered: "King's Landing has been everywhere these days, more than the last time it was written that Lysa had poisoned Jon Arryn, you just came back, and you didn't have time to find out." ”
