Chapter 158 Military Discipline

A new question suddenly came to mind. "If I become a member of the Samiji Empire, then I will not become a foreigner to the Momiji Empire?"

Suzanne hurriedly replied, "How could it be, even if the princess became the queen of Sachnea, she would still be a princess in the Red Leaf Empire, and this would not change." There is never a rule that if you have a title in one country, you lose the title in another. moreover

It seems that in this era when nationalist and nationalist ideas have not yet risen. No one cared about multiple citizenship. Since he has the nationality of two countries at the same time, it will not be a great evil in the eyes of people in this era.

Moreover, the key to determining whether you have or lose the right to inherit the throne of the Momiji Empire is not what nationality you are;

"How?" Linya's knowledge of this area was really lacking.

"To put it simply, if your future children inherit the surname of the Landis family, then you have the right to inherit the throne of the Momiji Empire. If your future child is a descendant of another family, you will lose the right to inherit the throne of the Momiji Empire. So, if you marry a king or prince of another country, you will have children from other families, so you will lose the right to inherit the throne of the Momiji Empire. Because the throne of the empire must not be inherited by the descendants of other families when the Landis family still has an heir."

"But you're in a completely different situation right now. You became the queen of Sachnea, and your children will be this in the future. The new king of the country, and he will surely inherit your family name, which is the surname of Landis. Since your child is definitely a descendant of the Landis family. Then your position as the heir to the throne of the Momiji Empire will only be further consolidated, and you will never lose the right to inherit the throne of the Momiji Empire. You should understand by now, right?"

After Susanna's explanation, Linya finally realized, "Understood! Thank you, Sister Susanna, for teaching me so much useful knowledge."

"This is what I should do, Your Highness Princess!"

By the time it was so idle, the sky was gradually getting brighter.

Linya couldn't sleep anyway, so she got up early to wash and dress.

When you soak in the bathroom, you will be in the cool bath. There are countless roses, petals floating on the water. A very strong aroma spreads everywhere.

Linya frowned. Soaking in this petal bath all day long, it's hard not to become a woman!

"Don't put these petals in the bath in the future, it's a waste of money, and I don't like it either!" Linya made an excuse to rely on.

Namia was a little surprised. Didn't this little princess like it very much before, why did she suddenly "Namia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Princess, she will be the queen in a few days, so now you must soak it fragrantly!" or "Is it good to change the lily petals next time?" If you take a bath with clean water, let the people outside know that they will definitely laugh at Her Royal Highness the princess."

Linya pouted, not having much to say. Ah, is it all because of this goddamn noble princess status?

When Namia was about to put on a pink dress for Linya, Linya hesitated again.

"Give me that Red Army uniform!" Linya said after a moment's thought. If you wear a military uniform, you can't say that you look like a boy, but at least a boy will wear a military uniform like this.

But Namia obviously didn't want Linya to get her wish, and persuaded softly: "Princess, you will be the queen in two days, and it will make everyone feel strange if you dress like that." You're a pretty princess. How can you not wear a skirt?"

Linya squeaked for a long time, and couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so she had to shrug her head and put the long skirt on herself at her mercy.

I'm conflicted. Even if I don't want to be a girl," apparently no one else would agree.

Linya suddenly had another one. Very horrified thoughts: If one day I really become a boy, I wonder what the people around me will think of me?

I went to say hello to my father and queen mother early. Then it's the morning physical exercise. While eating breakfast. Linya suddenly said, "Father, I've thought about it. I will support your war against Cessnia

Emperor Hermann, of course, was taken aback. The change in his daughter's attitude did surprise him. But she was able to figure it out, and she was much more relieved.

"Linya, thank you very much for finally being able to figure it out," said Emperor Herman happily.

"However, there is a condition," Linya still spat out the second half of the sentence that she could not hold;

This Herman Emperor had already been mentally prepared. But what can be the conditions of the daughter?

"Say, boy, I'm listening. "If I can do it, I'll do my best. "Are you sure that our army will succeed in a single battle and completely conquer the entire Cessnia Plain?" said Linya, thinking for a moment.

"No problem at all! This time, in order to prepare for the Holy See's holy war, our empire's army has expanded to more than 200,000. Now that the threat from the Holy See has been lifted, and excluding the garrison, we can free up about 200,000 troops, and with the support of the local lords for more than 100,000 troops, the total number of troops that can be put into Cessnia can be estimated to reach 300,000. And the total number of troops of the four countries of the Cessnia Plain is only about 100,000, and since they can mobilize 200,000, it is far less than ours, not to mention that our army far surpasses them in terms of training, equipment, and troops. This is a war that our empire has been preparing for decades, a war with all its national strength, and there is no suspense about the outcome or defeat. I promise that the war can end very quickly and that the people there will not suffer too much. Linya, don't worry. Emperor Hermann said confidently.

"I hope so," Linya said with a sigh. My condition is, "Father, I'll ask a question first." What is the purpose of our war against Cessnia?"

Emperor Herman thought for a while and said, "Of course, it is to obtain a stable grain production area for our empire and enrich the strength of the empire, so that we don't have to worry about being restrained by any country or any force in the future." We can't let our people go hungry in any case, can we? Of course, there's a bigger goal, to unify the whole continent, and we'll end all wars and achieve a lasting and steady peace, won't we?

"Speaking of which, we have now assembled such a large army, in fact, it is not difficult for us to recruit an army, the difficulty is that we may not be able to feed such a large army for a long time, our coffers will be eaten up quickly, and we cannot immediately disband these newly recruited troops, which will make the credibility of the imperial family completely lost. So, we must immediately launch such a major campaign against Cessnia. and participation in the holy war against Georgia. Linya, do you understand?"

Linya certainly understood. "Through the guò war, to reduce the number of troops to the extent that we can bear and provide for them, and to leave behind the elite who have experienced the war, right?" Linya's heart was bitter.

"That's it, Linya. Ah, you haven't said your terms yet, just say it, I'm looking forward to it. Emperor Hermann felt that the atmosphere of the conversation between father and daughter was somewhat good, at least there was some common language of communication.

"To be able to unify the continent and achieve permanent peace is exactly what I think. Father, remember the story I told you about water and boats, and if you want to unify the continent, you must have the support of the people, your people, and the people of your enemies. You must convince them that you will be a benevolent and loving king, so that the people will genuinely support you, and that when the enemy people will look forward to the arrival of your army, your army will be invincible, and the realization of that great ideal will no longer be out of reach. And the first impression of the enemy people on you must be that it comes from your army, so my condition is about the discipline of the army. Linya couldn't wait to say what she thought in one breath.

"The discipline of the army, what kind of discipline is it playing?" asked Emperor Hermann with interest.

"Simply summarized as six disciplines!"

"Specifically, it is: Discipline 1, the army must act under command and must not act without authorization.

Whether it is the emperor ** or the lord's army, whether it is cavalry or infantry, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner. All soldiers and the armed forces must obey orders unconditionally! Those who dare to act without permission or disobey military orders will have their salaries deducted, expelled from their country, or imprisoned, punished with canes, and even hanged!

"Discipline No. 2: You shall not plunder in any form of any property of the people, whether they are the people of their own country or of the enemy, whether they are commoners or nobles or soldiers. Those who plunder the people's property without authorization shall die! The people's goods shall not be requisitioned in the enemy country unless absolutely necessary, and shall be obtained by fair trade as far as possible; if necessary, an IOU must be issued, which shall be returned in full in the future, and the expenses shall be paid; if there is any damage, compensation shall be made according to the price!

"Discipline Article 3: All soldiers must be friendly and speak kindly, and must not beat or insult others, especially the people of the enemy country, for any reason!

"Discipline 4: Love the property of the people, whether it is their own country or that of the enemy. Do not trample on crops! Do not damage houses and other property!

"Discipline curtain five: no ** women! Disciplinary violators will not be killed!

"Discipline Article 6: No ill-treatment of prisoners! Prisoners must never be killed! Those who violate discipline will be hanged!" (To be continued)
