Chapter 114: Military Reform (4K)

"What's your name, what is your level of transcendent power, and where do you come from?"

Delai looked at the scruffy man in front of him and asked a series of questions.

Due to Ryan's long-term policy, Kanna Collar has been actively recruiting transcendentals, and during this period, because of the high remuneration, it still attracted some mercenaries and wandering knights to interview.

Among them, the most in-demand is the army, and the legion commander Delai is in charge of the interview, and he has long been surprised by these raunchy mercenaries, and he doesn't pay much attention to them.

Because seven or eight people were interviewed, only one person remained in the end, and he was still a wandering knight, and the mercenaries generally couldn't stand the constraints and couldn't adapt to the disciplined military life.

"My name is Kavin. Mert, a junior knight, is a mercenary from the western realm of the kingdom. ”

"You may not know, but Karna's army is semi-professional and disciplined, and if you want to join, will you be able to stand the discipline?"

Delai knocked on the table, looked at him with a serious expression, and added, "It's not so easy to quit if you join. Of course, we also have a lot of good benefits, in addition to the allocation of housing, high salary, and other benefits. ”

Kaven thought about it, although his freedom was restricted, the treatment seemed to be good, and who would want to be a mercenary with a stable income?

"Okay, I can take it."

Hearing this, Delai raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, just said: "Okay, go out and turn left and report to the second battalion, you can receive sixty silver Delews every month, there will be a subsidy in wartime, and the housing will be allocated within a month." ”

In this way, Kavin was transformed from a mercenary to an officer in the second battalion, and on his third day in the army, he finally met the legendary lord that the army soldiers talked about, but unfortunately, he was late for the order.

"Knight Cavin, as a soldier, your performance is very unsatisfactory." Allen's face was a little unsightly, for the first time an officer under his command had appeared a little late, and it was right in front of Ryan.

This was undoubtedly an unacceptable thing for this upright knight, and his voice was rarely a little harsh.

"Uh, Deputy Legionnaire, I promise there won't be another time." Kavin scratched his head and sneered. He is used to being a mercenary, and the routine of the army is really a little uncomfortable.

"Hmph, punish you for squatting with weights for three hours, and it won't be so simple next time."

"What? Are you crazy, I'm a knight, and you're punishing me like you did to those pariahs? ”

Kaven was a little incredulous, in this world, the transcendent had some privileges, and no one would punish them for some trivial things, let alone this somewhat insulting corporal punishment.

The movement here naturally attracted Ryan's attention, he walked up to Kavin, stretched out his hand and pressed Alan who was about to speak, looked at him and said indifferently: "Are you a knight who violates military law and don't need to be punished?" ”

Kaven met his eyes, his body suddenly stiffened, those eyes did not contain any emotion, only endless indifference, he seemed to be able to hide a blood color in those eyes.

For a while, his voice was a little dry: "After all, there is still a difference between ordinary people and ordinary people......

"Oh, is it? What's the difference, is it stronger on your own? An army must have iron discipline in order to be able to charge into battle and be invincible. If you can change the situation of the war alone, then I can spare you. ”

Ryan approached him step by step, each step felt like stepping on his heart. The momentum emanating from his body was like that of a lion, intimidating him to death.

"Goo-dong"

He swallowed with difficulty, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment." ”

As he said this, the heavy pressure exerted on him suddenly dissipated, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and in this moment, his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Hmph, sir, add another three hours."

Ryan waved his sleeves and turned, and the power in him was now getting stronger and stronger.

It would have been a small thing, but by the time he said it, it had already changed its nature.

If he can't deal with it seriously, his prestige will be greatly reduced in the hearts of the more than 2,000 soldiers on the school ground, and the generals must be rewarded and punished clearly, and no matter what the identity of the other party is, he cannot show favoritism.

If the transcendent had privileges in the army, it would be a very serious matter and would create class antagonisms.

His handling was really respected by the soldiers present, and who could not support a commander who could treat everyone equally?

Feeling the fiery gaze of the soldiers, Ryan was very satisfied, the soul of the army, and the image of the commander in the hearts of the soldiers is also very important.

Step by step, stepping on the Dianjiang platform, looking at the "Tuntian Army" neatly arranged into small squares in the brigade below, Lane's heart was still quite satisfied.

After this period of training, this army has achieved initial results, and what is lacking is the tempering of blood and fire.

He came here today not only to inspect the army, but also to give the two battalions the military flag and number, which are the symbol of an army, the place where the military soul is condensed, and it is indispensable.

As long as that flag is still there, the morale of the army will not be scattered!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all warriors who have been selected through many selections, and you are carrying the heavy responsibility of protecting the lives and property of more than 20,000 people in Kanna, and today, I will present the flag to you!

'Tuntian Army', officially awarded the number of the first legion, the corps commander Delai, deputy corps commander Allen, awarded the eagle flag! ”

Delai stepped forward slowly, solemnly took a wide flag, the whole is blue, surrounded by gold lines, the pattern on it is a white eagle soaring with wings, and the word used below is surrounded by a "U" shape around the eagle.

The meaning of the word is: "Karna leads the First Legion." ”

"The first battalion, awarded the falcon flag on a red background. The second battalion was awarded the Goshawk Banner on a red background. ”

Alan and a somewhat unfamiliar knight solemnly stepped forward to take the flags.

That knight was the wandering knight who had been recruited earlier, named Colonn, a junior knight, who had been assigned to the first battalion led by Delai.

The flag presentation ceremony did not last long, and after the meeting, Ryan, Delai, and Allen gathered in the barracks conference room.

This room is small, but it has a very monumental item.

Behind the head of a long table, a scarlet banner hangs on it, the flag of the captured orc tribe, which has been hung here as a memorial.

And now, the First Legion has its own flag, and it has to move it downwards, and the Eagle Banner must be hung above it.

"There is only one theme today, and that is that the military system needs to be reformed." Ryan sat somewhat casually, looked at the two of them and said.

"I also think, as you said before, the current establishment of the army is a bit too simple, and the squad team doesn't think it's just ten or a hundred people, but after arriving at the battalion, it goes directly to a thousand people, and the requirements for the commander are even higher.

It's not that I'm boasting, the current Kanna, the only commander who can command more than a thousand soldiers is the three of us present, Hans can only barely command, it's okay to defend the city, if it comes to the field and needs to arrange troops, it will not be enough.

The number of troops at the higher level has reached tens of thousands or nearly 10,000 people, and none of us have such command experience, and even if we do, it is very difficult to command, and this situation arises because the army is not meticulous enough, and it will be very difficult to coordinate and coordinate it.

And sometimes, on a battlefield, too many regiments are used, and too few battalions are used, and if several battalions are used at the same time, then the subordination becomes a problem again, and everyone has the same military position, and no one obeys anyone.

In the past, this situation was discussed, which greatly affected efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to refine the establishment, although we only have 2,000 people now, we will not always have only 2,000 people, and now we have fewer people but we are better to change. ”

Although Delai was not famous before, what he said hit the nail on the head and told the drawbacks of the current military system.

To give a simple example, a squad leader originally only commanded ten people, which was very easy, but after he was promoted to one level, he had to command a hundred people, and the difficulty increased tenfold, and the battalion above it doubled tenfold.

The sudden increase in numbers is not a small challenge for commanders.

Ordinary generals can command tens of thousands of people to the limit, and those who command 100,000 and 200,000 are all famous generals in the world.

Looking at the big eastern country of Blue Star in the previous life, with a history of thousands of years, only Han Xin ordered troops, and the more the merrier.

But how many Hanshin are there in the world? The vast majority of people are not even generals, he can only command a few hundred people, but as a result, he was promoted to a level and directly led a thousand troops, so it is strange that he can command well.

Moreover, the existing military system will lead to the lack of motivation of junior officers, because there are few positions, which makes it more difficult to be promoted.

Blue Star is a captain, a colonel, and a general at the third level and ten levels, and there are non-commissioned officers and privates below, and there is a goal to climb up, even if you have time to get up, you can move.

And this is the fifth level at the top, the real monk has more porridge and less, and it is the norm for a position to not move for decades and decades, and you can't get up with your qualifications, so where does people have the motivation to climb up?

Of course, Ryan also understands that it's not that no one finds out about the problem, it's that they don't care, because the hierarchy is solidified.

Take Ryan's previous time in the Chels Legion as an example, ordinary people can only serve as squad leaders, and the captain is at least a knight.

And knights generally stop at captains, you have to have a knighthood or even a baronial title to be a battalion commander, and the unspoken rule of the clan commander above is to have at least a viscount or above.

Look, what position is fixed in each class, do you dare to move?

This is what Delai said, too many people are not easy to move, the class is solidified, and the involvement is too deep, if nothing else, the military system of the Kingdom of Tistan is almost dead, unless there is another figure like the founding king to reshape the world.

The current Kana Collar has not yet been completely finalized, there are few transcendents, and the barons are only Ryan, most of whom are ordinary people.

This gave Ryan the opportunity to make drastic reforms, just a matter of words.

He did not believe that the transcendent were necessarily superior to ordinary people in command, and although they were indispensable in war, they were not necessarily in command.

"Ray, do you have a preliminary reform plan now?"

Alan also nodded in agreement, and asked Ryan, with what he knew about Ryan, as long as he proposed it, most likely there would already be a solution.

"My initial assumption is that the military system needs to be suitable for a variety of situations, so we will divide all the soldiers into a basic combat unit, and flexibly deploy and match them in wartime.

According to previous experience, it is reasonable for five people to be a combat unit, in which the basic combination is two pikemen, two sword and shield soldiers, and a captain in the center.

Of course, they can also be five shield soldiers or five archers, and the combination of weapons should be adapted to the battlefield situation, so there are no hard requirements. ”

Ryan propped his hands on his chin and said his thoughts step by step:

"These five people are in one squad, two squads are one group, five groups are one rate, two rates are one team, five teams are one guard, two guards are one battalion, five battalions are one army, and two armies are one legion.

I called it the 52 system, which was used to replace the previous decimal system. ”

"Five, ten, fifty, hundred, five hundred, one thousand, five thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, the team leads the team to guard the battalion army and the corps.

This is indeed much more detailed, and each one is an extension of the five-person combat unit, which can be flexibly matched in wartime.

Whether it's a small-scale melee or a large-scale clan battle, you can better arrange your troops. ”

The more Delai said, the brighter his eyes became, and he obviously agreed very much with the 52 military system.

"It's just that in this way, the gap in our demand for middle and low-level officers will widen many times." Alan groaned and threw a difficult question at the two of them.

"It's not a problem, I believe that there is no shortage of talent, what is missing is only the eye for discovery.

We can select officers by means of assessment, and officers below the rank of commander can be considered qualified as long as they can master the basic coordination of military formations, understand orders, and dare to fight.

From the team level to the battalion level, you need to know how to arrange troops, know a certain art of war, and have a certain judgment of the battlefield situation. The standards for each level are, of course, incremental.

Not to mention above the battalion level, it is necessary to have rich command experience, and each of them needs to have the ability to take charge of their own affairs. ”

Lane's set of assessment standards can also be regarded as three levels: low, middle and high, each of which is a completely different level.

"Low-level officers can be promoted, and middle-level officers can be personally evaluated by us, and it can be more efficient like this." Alan nodded.

"That's right, good way." DeLay gave him a thumbs up, which Ryan used to use and that he had learned.

"Well, the military system will be preliminarily determined, first improve it, and then wait for the city defense battalion to be formed before it will be implemented, and the effect also needs to be tested by practice.

Then there was the need to determine the style and standard of uniform, and I had sent back a letter to my mother, who would soon be moving to the territory. ”
