The next day, a series of follow-up work began after the war. In the early morning, the Knights of Thunder stood guard and lined up in the cemetery outside the western suburbs without swords, but only with flowers in their hands. The sky was drizzling, the ground was filled with mournful music, and the whole regiment, from the generals to the soldiers, took off their hats and stood solemnly. The rear parrot brigade flew in a queue and landed neatly on the side, each holding a small flower in its beak. Although there is no expression, there is also an unusual sense of heaviness.

Gray was the only one who was actually buried, and the others had already been buried in the hills deep in Kaludia. But even if there are no bodies, a tombstone is erected for each of them. More than 180 tombstones are neatly arranged in a phalanx, whether it is the general's son or a small parrot at this moment, the tombstones are all of average size, and the inscriptions are all posthumously recognized as heroes.

Before the procession, a professional pastor was reading a eulogy, tear-jerking. Life will eventually become loess, and sometimes standing in front of the tombstone, you can't help but feel a lot of emotion. The pastor is still religious, and his eulogy is ultimately more about blessings, such as wishing them happiness in heaven and so on.

After the eulogy was read, everyone presented flowers to their comrades. When Kevin, Stadt and Sain arrive at the gravestone of Gray and Big Sister Parrot, their minds automatically recall the hardships of the battle, and the years they used to train together.

Kevin and Stadt still clearly remember that Gray deliberately smashed his foot in order to avoid military service, but in the end he did not escape. When he first joined the recruit team, he relied on a foot injury to confront his commander, and as a result, he was severely drilled. All qualities are at the bottom, and as a result, they were bullied by Sain and others to help them wash their clothes and socks. I can't write a letter to my family, and I'm still ghostwritten by Stat. was called out by Kevin in the middle of the night for training, but Kevin gained a lot, but he was almost wasting sleep time. But at the last moment, he held off the sword of the bandit boss and drank back from the bandits.

Kevin still clearly remembers what the eldest sister said: "I'm not afraid of death." "Just one bird, but more will than many people.

The past is still clear, but when I look back, only the cold tombstone remains. To tell the truth, if that sword is replaced by Kevin, Kevin will not be able to take it next. The opportunity that the bandit boss had been waiting for for a few days on the side was by no means so easy to defuse. Of course, because he waited for a few days, he must also see that Gray is relatively weak, so he will inevitably attack Gray.

Kevin sometimes feels ashamed of being their chief, they are real heroes. As a commander, the lives of the whole team are in his hands, but the battle is tragic but someone must die. It's like having to pick two brothers to die in a crowd of brothers. If you win, you can still have some comfort, but what if you are defeated? Sometimes, even if you are resourceful, even if you are superior in force, the outcome of the war is still not fully grasped. Only after the actual battle did I understand that every battle is a big gamble of life and death, and I also understood the value of peace.

Silently put down flowers in front of Gray's grave, and the pastor was still blessing in his ear: "I hope these children can be happy in heaven." ”

Kevin doesn't believe in heaven, but at this time he sincerely hopes for heaven, even if it's just a spiritual comfort.

Looking back, the staff officer knelt down in front of the grave of the general's son, crying silently. At this time, he put on his military uniform again, but Kevin always had a strange feeling when he saw his down-and-out appearance.

Defeated again and again, in the face of many dead soldiers, how could he survive in the world. But maybe after reaching the top, his skin will be thicker, or maybe he doesn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he continues to live. To be honest, now the life and death of the staff officers are in the hands of the general, and Kevin doesn't want to say anything, the battle is over, these are all things between the high-level, and Kevin is not involved.

There was nothing more to say at the memorial service, and at noon, the drizzle stopped and the sun rose, and the general brought the whole army back. The first step when I went back was, of course, to hold a meeting first, and all kinds of things began to be arranged in an orderly manner.

The first was the transfer of personnel, with Lieutenant Colonel House being appointed commander of the 1st Group, while the 3rd Brigade was abolished and only a few remaining members of the 3rd Brigade were merged into the 1st Brigade.

Secondly, the pensions of all the bereaved families must be arranged one by one. This is another large amount, and I am afraid that the finances of the Thunder Knights will be dealt a major blow.

Again, for the commander of this operation, Pandu Pen, that is, the staff officer. He is undoubtedly guilty, but the exact punishment he should receive is still being discussed. The staff officer himself did not say a word, he had said before the second departure that if it was not successful, he would come to see him. So how should we calculate this state now?

There are not many masters of the Thunder Knights anymore, and it is not impossible to let him go in this stall. No one pleaded with the staff officer in the meeting, and Kevin didn't say a word and entered the theater mode. The general also asked Kevin with interest, "What do you suggest?" Kevin replied, "The general decides." ”

The general had no choice but to temporarily strip him of his staff post and detain him.

In the end, after this time, the morale of the legion plummeted. The first brigade was originally the most elite brigade in the whole regiment, but as a result, the commander was killed and the whole team was blown up. Even if you don't say it, the wounds in your heart are difficult to heal. How to do this ideological work is another big question. Of course, this is mainly a matter for Lieutenant Colonel House, who is now the captain of the first brigade.

The meeting lasted for an afternoon, and the general made good on his promise, saying that Kai Wenming would leave tomorrow and enter the official holiday, but that he should arrange his work before leaving. Of course, there is no problem with this, after going back, Kevin arranged for Start to be in charge of the catapult with full responsibility, there is nothing to say about daily training and cleaning, and if there is anything to decide, as long as you don't sell the car.

The next morning, Kevin finally took off his military uniform and changed into his long-lost bard outfit. Starter and Sain came out to see him off, and the three of them patted each other on the shoulder, and they also wished him well: "Have a good holiday." ”

Kevin also nodded: "Thank you, come back and bring you gifts." "Due to the strict management of the barracks, there are actually very few people like Kevin who run around every day, and it is rare for low-level soldiers to be able to go out once. Therefore, every time a soldier goes out, he must bring some gifts to his comrades, which can be regarded as some warmth for those who cannot go out. This is also the rule of the barracks.

"By the way, there's another letter here, addressed to the General," Kevin finally pulled out what he had written in the middle of the night and handed it to Sain, "help me pass it on to him." ”

Start's face immediately changed: "You won't be sarcastic and sarcastic on it, and then walk away yourself, right? Don't forget that you still have to come back!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured. Kevin patted the two of them, then turned to check in at the doorman before stepping out of the barracks. It's finally time for a vacation, so I can relax and unwind.

At this time, Sain also forwarded the letter to his father. The general was so busy at this time that he was asked to sign a large number of documents after the war, and it was not until late evening that he remembered that there was another letter. I let go of my hand and pinched it, and it felt thick, which was different from his suicide note. It is estimated that it is full of sarcasm and sarcasm, and the general is also mentally prepared.

But after a quick glance, it feels quite pertinent. First of all, Kevin described this battle in detail from his point of view. During the battle, Kevin made several suggestions, but the staff officer did not take them, and in the letter, Kevin no longer blamed the staff officer for being stupid, and also said that he might have spoken in the wrong way and was inappropriate.

After that, it was the reflection of this battle. The fundamental reason for the failure of this battle was the failure of the command. The soldier was valiant, and the order was carried out, and Kevin took it upon himself to find an excuse to crouch in another cave, but now it seems to be the right choice. It may seem a little inappropriate to attribute all the blame to the staff officer, but at least he must bear 90 per cent of the blame, and Lieutenant Colonel House, who was then the commander of the third brigade, should also have about 10 per cent of the blame.

The personal strength of the staff officers is strong, but their tactical level is serious. Maybe he's just going to be the kind of open-minded, scripted kind of fighting, and when something goes wrong, his adaptability is very low, and he is more impulsive when fighting, and he despises the enemy.

As for the problems of staff officers, Kevin thinks it is likely to be a common problem in our army. The long-term peace has led to a very lack of experience in leading troops to fight, not to mention new officers, even if old officers do not lead troops for a long time, they will be much more unfamiliar. Sometimes this kind of tactical experience is useless to rely only on teaching and examinations, and the examinations are all about coping, but it is impossible to engage in actual combat in peacetime, and the only way to think about it is to intensify military exercises and simulate combat situations under various conditions.

Of course, increasing military exercises will inevitably increase military spending, and Kevin is not at the top in this regard, and he does not make many suggestions. But there are two points that he has repeatedly emphasized, one is the brainless worship of individual strength in the army, and the other is the problem of factions.

Kevin also walked through a lot of military camps, including the 213th Legion, which was dominated by catapults. In almost all legions, it is still customary to put personal fighting magic in the first place, and no one pays attention to what is said when the level is not high, and the prestige of the soldiers below is also insufficient. Kevin felt it was time for a change.

Personal strength is intuitive, but wisdom is difficult to see, and some people even look like Alzheimer's, but in fact they are wise and foolish. There is also a popular saying in the barracks that in the face of absolute power, there is no point in any resourcefulness. All the soldiers were convinced, and then began to train hard against the supreme goal of the Juggernaut.

Compared with what to operate a catapult and the like, the fighting spirit obtained by hard training is his own, and after retirement, the fighting spirit accompanies him for the rest of his life, even if he hands over his sword and shield and takes off his military uniform, he is still a master. Catapults, on the other hand, are impossible for you to take home, which makes most soldiers more willing to train themselves than to make catapults.

But army building cannot be carried out by soldiers, nor can it be seen that these soldiers are very talented, and then they are all trained as cavalry. All rational arrangements and rational distribution are the ways to increase the overall strength of the armed forces. This is also the general policy of the king's call for the construction of a full-scale magical army.

The Thunder Knights' policy has always been that all recruits go to the cavalry team to train for a while, and then eliminate a bunch of lazy, weak and ugly people, and the eliminated people go to the logistics troops. But in fact, the logistics troops also need very good talents, why is Lao Te, who is still being dragged and not allowed to retire when he is in his forties? Isn't it because there is no one to take his place?

Of course, there is a middle line in everything, and there should be a ratio between the elite soldiers in the cavalry and the logistics team, and the specific number can be tested step by step. The Thunder Knights have a ratio of 10 to 0, and logistics shouldn't be a gathering place for junk recruits, and certainly not catapults. It is true that after learning the catapult, the training of fighting spirit will inevitably be delayed, and people's energy is limited after all. But don't feel sorry for it, and don't feel that it's a waste of talent, catapults also have great uses.

I used to think that catapults and cavalry were arms that could not be combined, but after repeated research, it was not absolutely impossible. The catapult with five pairs of wheels has some ability to kill opposing generals, but its speed is too slow to keep up with the cavalry. However, this is not a problem, as long as ten or twenty horses are divided and run with ropes pulling catapults, then the speed is naturally not slow.

When fighting, it can be used as a special squad, interspersed with the outer edges, quickly occupy advantageous terrain with the speed of cavalry, and then use the precision of catapults to directly kill the opposing commander. Or even if it is difficult to kill the commander directly, it can effectively kill and injure the enemy by firing explosives and other bullets. If the enemy came after them, the cavalry would not be too slow to drag away the catapults.

Of course, these tactics are only in the fantasy stage at present, and long-term training is necessary for actual combat. And how high the five pairs of load-bearing wheel catapults can be pulled is also a question. The counterweight above the catapult is likely to produce a huge shaking at high speeds and needs to be further improved. And improvements cost money.

When it comes to money, we have to talk about factions. Kevin also directly said the faction issue in the letter, although this is a matter between the top management, but because it concerns Kevin's actual interests, Kevin also has the courage to talk about it. And said that this is just his own observation, and if he is wrong, he hopes that the general will not mind.

In Kevin's view, the problem of factions is ultimately a question of money. If you want to improve your fighting spirit, you have to eat high-end food, and if you want to improve the whole group, it is a big expense. The research and development of heavy equipment such as catapults is also costly. Both sides are bottomless pits, and military spending is limited, so factions must exist.

Kevin couldn't talk much about this, he couldn't say what ratio was best, and even some factions he didn't know very well, so he could only express regret. But Kevin said a lot about the other reason for the emergence of the faction.

That is the sense of crisis of the strong. It's easy to think of this, especially after the general came back with a bad face after visiting the giant battle knife. At present, even the giant staff is more powerful than the average mage if it is used by the Grand Magus, and to this extent, the strong still have some sense of superiority, or comfort. But like a catapult, there really is no difference between strength and weakness, just a wrench.

From the perspective of the strong individual, no strong person wants to see a weak person operating a machine to defeat the strong, which is simply a denial of his hard work. But from the perspective of the country, there is no one in ten thousand strong people, and the weak are everywhere, and the machine can be mass-produced, but the strong cannot be mass-produced, which is very simple. In addition, Lou Pauler was founded by the weak, please don't forget about it.

It's just a few pages, and the talk is not very profound, after all, Kevin is not a high-level person, and a lot of people who don't know rely on guessing. However, the core issue that should be touched on has basically been touched.

Kevin didn't go to the world to scold this and that, nor did he call for anyone to be responsible, nor did he take revenge on this matter, nor did he keep bragging about his own merits. Because there is no point in this, watching the life and death of their comrades-in-arms with their own eyes, all those who survive can do is to try their best to avoid the recurrence of this kind of thing. That's why Kevin wrote this report.

In fact, what Kevin said, in fact, the general himself knows that if he is in a faction, how can he not know the reason for the faction. It's just that sometimes you don't know it, and you can solve the problem.

"Someone!" the general put down his report, "is Kevin there?"

"General, Kevin has already left the camp in the morning. The guard replied quickly.

"Can you catch up?" asked the general casually.

The guards hurried out and called down the patrol parrots for questioning. After a few moments, the guard replied, "General, Kevin has already gone abroad. ”

General: "......" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
