Engaging in social progress in a world with extraordinary power may sound like a fantasy, but Xia Lin thinks it is still quite possible, because in this world, supernatural power has not reached a decisive level.

Moreover, the supernatural forces also have different camps, and due to the mage status of Dorothea, they represent the side of the progressive forces, and have won the support of the archmages of the court, which is much more advantageous than the conservatives who are supported by the more numerous, but more dispersed knightly class.

In addition, they also have in their hands a lot of technologies that represent advanced productive forces, and the dividends generated by these technologies can also enable the enlightened faction to win over many strata of people.

Seize the time to carry out military training day and night for this group of 20 army backbones, and conduct various queue military postures, physical fitness, and military skills training during the day, so as to train these strong men to the best of the day.

In the evening, night schools were arranged to study infantry drill rules and regulations, military command, cartography, artillery measurement, military ideology, and other disciplines.

In addition to the regulations of infantry discipline, cartography and artillery measurement, Xia Lin gave them a general overview of the fragmentary knowledge he had accumulated on the forum, and then let them discuss it on their own.

In order not to delay the new army with half a bucket of water, Xia Lin asked Viscount Hart to collect a large number of battle materials of the empire, refer to these materials to analyze the reasons for the failure or success of the battle with them, and then discuss how the new army should respond to these battles in combination with the expected training objectives of the new army.

At the same time, Xia Lin also asked these officers to establish a sand table in the camp tent that was different from the actual one through the surveying and mapping knowledge they had learned from cartography to conduct a simple offensive and defensive simulation.

After a few days, Lai Yin and Ji Xiu'an's attitude towards Xia Lin changed a lot, because they found that although Xia Lin had not received a systematic military education, the military ideas revealed from these training programs were far more advanced than the current military thinking of the empire.

On the other side, Darius also arranged the plan for recruiting soldiers according to Xia Lin's request, and immediately carried out the recruitment of new army soldiers in the area around the industrial park.

According to Xia Lin's vision, the new army still implements the system of military ranks and ranks, with recruits being privates, second-class soldiers after completing training, and veterans being promoted to first-class soldiers.

Then there are corporals, sergeants and sergeants corresponding to team leaders, squad leaders and platoon leaders at the squad and platoon level, ensigns, lieutenants and captains and majors at the company and battalion levels, lieutenant colonels, colonels and colonels at the regimental and brigade levels, major generals, lieutenant generals and generals at the division and army levels, and finally the marshals corresponding to the commanders of the group armies.

This system has been tested for a long time, and Xia Lin feels that there is no problem in letting them continue to exert their strength in this world, and at the same time, it is also possible to divide the salary level into seventeen levels by the way, with the 20 silver mars of the privates in January, and each level will rise by 20 silver mars, and the highest marshal rank is the salary of 3 gold lunt and 40 silver mars in one month.

Xia Lin also plans to set up an allowance system in this new army, and junior non-commissioned officers, middle-ranking lieutenants, and senior generals will have different allowances to supplement their treatment.

In addition to these monetary treatments, Xia Lin also needed to distribute them with military uniforms, military caps, leather boots, backpacks, mattresses, belts, underwear, coats, blankets, basins, water bottles, and a series of other things.

Although he has never been exposed to the discipline of clothing design, he has various military uniforms and military hats in his memory as a blueprint, and this process is not difficult for Xia Lin.

Soon, with the assistance of the senior tailor in the textile factory, Xia Lin modified the style of the new army's summer and winter military uniforms and two military hats, and copied them to the drawings, named them X*** military uniform and X*** military hat, which means new ***.

Roughly speaking, the X*** military uniform designed by Xia Lin was born from the German *** uniform during World War II in the previous life, with a waist and shoulder pad design.

This kind of military uniform design is fashionable and handsome, and has always been loved by the majority of military fans.

The reason why blue-gray was used as the main color of the army was because this dye was the cheapest and most convenient to obtain in large quantities in Urgana.

The material of the winter military uniform is the same wool tweed as the original, and the price of 1.21.2 tweed is about twice that of cotton, that is, almost 6 silver mar. However, if you obtain raw materials from the northern border, which is already a well-developed livestock industry, through the relationship of the northern military, the cost can be reduced to 5 silver mar and one large ar.

The summer military uniform is made of silk and cotton blend, and about 4 silver mar can be purchased with 1.2 standard format fabric.

There are two types of military hats, soldiers use brimmed soft hats, and officers use large-brimmed hats.

In this way, two sets of standing military uniforms in summer and winter, plus military hats, leather boots and other necessary equipment, the total price is 34 silver mar, which is a bit too expensive, but considering the wear-resistant needs of the army's high-intensity training, Xia Lin still abandoned the cotton military uniform that was originally considered.

After placing an order for materials with the military in the north, returning to the new army station, and filing the purchase order, Darius Eugene, who was in charge of logistics, frowned at the expenses above:

"Sir Xia Lin, why do you want to use a tweed material for the winter military uniform instead of a much cheaper cotton cloth? Such a uniform costs 12 silver mar per uniform, and if it is used to recruit ordinary soldiers, you can recruit several!"

"It's simple, Darius logistician, first of all, the fabric is more durable than cotton fabric, and can adapt to our high-intensity training needs.

Secondly, the design of the military uniform made of tweed material can make the military uniform look more structured and handsome, and the army wearing such a military uniform will have a greater sense of honor and more combat effectiveness when fighting.

It's like knights wearing gorgeous burqas, and in addition to protecting them from the sun, such a solemn and majestic appearance can also make them feel that they are knights, and gain a sense of honor from it, so that they can charge forward more bravely."

Charin calmly sat down in his chair and explained to Darius behind his desk.

"Sense of honor?"

It was tempting to say that a soldier recruited in the slums like this was of no use even if he had a sense of honor, but Darius, unlike Fatlan, knew he couldn't say that.

The top of the Alliance, including his family, had high hopes for the New Army, and the Eugene Chamber of Commerce even provided a huge amount of 800 gold lunt from the appropriation of the New Army, and successfully stuffed him into the New Army as a key logistics officer.

What he had to do was to grasp every Glint expense and present it to Viscount Hart, the true spokesperson of the Alliance in the new army, instead of arguing with Xia Lin, who also had high hopes, over such a matter that had already been decided.

"I see, I'll explain this to Viscount Hart."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Darius finally nodded and stamped the document and filed it.

"That's your job, and I won't interfere."

Xia Lin nodded and said indifferently. Anyway, the equipment of the new army was originally the content that he, the deputy commander, was responsible for, even if it was in front of the princess Dorothea and the two counts, he had a reasonable reason, and Xia Lin naturally didn't care too much about such things.
