Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Dacus chewed raisins while flipping through the manuscript in his hand. The breeze brought a little coolness, blowing the manuscript, but it did not affect his immersion in the text in front of him.

He had already come down from Potosí, and then stayed in Cuyo Province for a while. There, he inspected the mobile troops stationed there, checked the barracks, and the level of combat readiness. In fact, there was nothing to check... After all, the mobile troops had just returned from the north, but based on the principle of being here, he must take a look.

This mobile unit is special, consisting of an Eagle Flag Battalion, with high mobility and combat effectiveness. As a mobile unit, their training cycle is very strong, half of the time is spent on daily training, physical fitness and tactical exercises, and the other half is spent on guarding Potosi, rotating with the garrison troops in Potosi to ensure that each batch of soldiers can cope with the complex terrain of mountain warfare.

He then visited the province's famous wine-making industry.

The wine industry in Cuyo Province was booming, especially during his visit, when winemakers were celebrating a bumper harvest of high-quality grapes. Before setting off again, his supply bag was full: a large bag of newly dried raisins and two barrels of sweet white wine. With these supplies, he continued south and arrived at the southern outpost.

During this period, he also figured out one thing: there was no need to do anything fancy like Coke, Sprite, and juice. These drinks were novel, but they were not suitable for the current environment and needs. In comparison, wine, an ancient drink, was simple and pure, and had more vitality and was the most suitable choice.

Wine is more than just a drink, it represents a culture and a heritage. This is especially true for the elves. For them, wine is more than just a simple drink, it is a symbol of a lifestyle. The elves love wine from the heart. Whether it is a celebration, a ceremony, or a daily dinner, wine symbolizes the close relationship between nature, Slaanesh, and the elves.

What Dacus was reading was not an ordinary manuscript, but a manuscript on "Military Management" written by Bucklen and compiled by Aspern. This manuscript deeply explored all aspects of military management, from strategy to tactics, especially the core issues such as how to effectively coordinate the army in a complex combat environment, maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, and improve the degree of organization.

As a veteran dread lord, Baclon combined his own combat experience to closely integrate theory with practice, while Aspern made the manuscript more systematic and organized by arranging it. He also specifically analyzed the huge threat of magic to the troops, and emphasized how to maintain the effectiveness of conventional combat on a battlefield with magic and behemoths, and to use non-magical means to fight against this overwhelming force as much as possible.

Overall, Dacus was satisfied. There was a beauty in seeing "strategy" and "tactics". Although this carefully designed framework and strict system were not perfect, they satisfied him. It was like an unfinished masterpiece. The main structure was stable and clear. It only needed a little polishing and supplementation. The future summary, second edition, and third edition would be more perfect.

"You organize a group and write a military theory." Dacus put the manuscript back after eating a raisin, then looked at Dorian who was sitting far away and said. After Dorian stood up with a serious expression, he added, "'Theory of Group Psychological Counseling for Soldiers'."

Dorian was stunned for a moment. He knew the importance of writing military theories. It was about qualifications, prestige, and proof. However, he was a little confused. He could understand every word that Dacus said, but when they were put together...

"The tragedy of Zahuitak could have been avoided? Their organization was low, but..." Daxus said at the end. Seeing Dorian still a little confused, he couldn't help but shook his head. Then he added, "I don't mean to blame you. What I want to say is that we seem to be missing a link, and it's a very important link."

"Pay attention to the soldiers' psychology?" Dorian's words were a little hesitant and confused, but there was a hint of enlightenment. He vaguely felt what Darkus was expressing.

"That's not enough. You have to remember that soldiers are not just combat machines. They have feelings, emotions, and pressure. Every moment they experience on the battlefield will leave a mark deep in their hearts. Just like what you told me when we were adventuring in the dangerous mountains." Dacus said softly, his eyes fell on Dorian, full of some deep meaning. His tone was calm, and every word struck Dorian's heart.

"But...are these emotions and mental states really that important? Our main focus is training and discipline" Dorian frowned, obviously thinking.

"What do you think?" This time Dacus did not respond to Dorian, but turned to look at Buckron who was sitting next to him.

"Discipline and training are important, but they are only superficial. I think the tragedy of Zahuitak is not just due to low organization. The real reason is that the mercenaries' mentality collapsed under high pressure. They are used to fighting when there is an advantage and retreating when there is no advantage. They can't withstand the high-pressure battle against Chaos for a long time. This is different from the battle against the city wall in Gorond."

Baclon said bluntly that when Dacus put down the manuscript and talked about this, he knew he had passed the test. Combined with his son's words, if nothing unexpected happened, his military career in Asheril was already in the countdown state, and it would not be long before he would return to Naggaroth with Dacus and be entrusted with important tasks.

"See, this is the problem. Morale and psychological state are invisible but crucial to combat effectiveness. If we fail to understand the reactions and emotional changes of soldiers under extreme pressure, no matter how many tactics and disciplines we have, we may eventually fall apart. If there had been a complete and executable group psychological counseling mechanism at the time, perhaps there would have been a different outcome." Dacus stared at Dorian, as if he was looking through him into a deeper place.

Dorian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then hesitantly closed it.

"You don't understand, and that's normal. To understand this theory, we need to break away from traditional military thinking and view soldiers as complex individuals with emotions and psychological reactions, rather than just combat units that obey orders and perform tasks."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to Dorian, and patted Dorian on the shoulder.

"The current military system is complete in terms of organization, but broken in terms of spirit. You were born in Nagarond, and you know Druch, so... we lack a means to quickly intervene and stabilize the emotions of soldiers when their mentality is shaken and fear spreads. This is not ordinary morale boosting, but systematic and theoretically supported psychological counseling."

"I think I understand. Provide them with spiritual support so that no matter how severe the situation is, they always have a clear sense of direction and goal in their hearts. Soldiers need not only physical strength, but also psychological support and tenacity. Only when their mental state is perfectly matched with the tactical system can they maximize their combat effectiveness." Dorian's expression became serious. At this moment, he understood what Dacus meant.

Daxus, who was moving with his hands behind his back, nodded. If Nagarus had an institution similar to the Mental Center of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... he didn't dare to imagine how many Duruchi there were in Nagarus who did not suffer from mental illnesses. It was true that there were none, not yes, because there were a lot of Duruchi, and he couldn't even guarantee that he didn't have any.

As a special group, the military has arduous and heavy tasks and is subject to the test of life and death at any time. In daily life, the military camp environment is closed and monotonous, which is more likely to cause psychological problems under high pressure.

Psychological counseling and psychological consultation are highly professional jobs that require high quality of the workers. In consultation or treatment, they need to work patiently and meticulously, and have a relatively sound personality. Carrying out group psychological counseling for soldiers not only adapts to the actual situation of the troops and helps soldiers achieve psychological growth, but also enriches the soldiers' spare time and exposes them to different educational activities.

In his opinion, only the Kredan and the officers can do this, but now they are rootless and do not even have the most basic theoretical framework, let alone specific practice. He now calls on the Kredans to provide psychological counseling to the soldiers. The Kredans do not even know what psychological counseling is and have no concept of this term. How to carry out the practice is simply embarrassing. Reciting scriptures praising Edrezer? The problem is that Edrezer's religious system is only a framework at present. It is like saying to a worker engaged in manual labor: Open an international online store for me and sell this product to other continents. People who can say this have mental problems themselves, and they are big problems.

Moreover, it is also a problem that Kredan himself has a relatively sound personality. First of all, the Kredans need to be trained, counseled and evaluated, and this is something only he can do.

This is just the military aspect, there are also children, education, and daily life in the society, which are all troublesome issues.

He wanted to ensure that the adult Drucci was in a relatively normal mental state before entering the army, rather than being antisocial, destructive, or a monster with strong stress resistance. To achieve this, sufficient supplies, a rich life, a perfect system, and targeted propaganda are needed, but a few punches are not enough. A lot of effort must be put into education, not only in educating children, but also in educating parents.

How are monsters with strong stress resistance created? Do timid and cowardly children have no emotional intelligence? Cowardice itself is a manifestation of emotional intelligence, but how does this emotional intelligence appear?
In this regard, he came up with an idea. After perfecting it with Drusala, he prepared a complete set of 5-point system and supporting increments. In his plan, in the future, Nagaros will be paid for having children, and the money will be paid by the government, but how to pay it is a big question.

In the original plan, he was going to wait until the child reached adulthood to give it to the emperor. After all, the situation in the society of Drukqi was there. If the child was given to the emperor at birth, there was a high probability of illegal activities. The pregnant woman would find that the child was gone as soon as she opened her eyes, or that a cat would be replaced by a prince, so he decided to give it to the emperor after he reached adulthood.

Now, he has further optimized it and brought out a 5-point system, conducting a comprehensive assessment of the children before giving out the money. The 5-point system is composed of physical, psychological, educational, and daily behavior aspects.

For example, if a child's physical fitness and education are both good, but the psychological assessment is not good, then he will not get 5 points, but only 2 to 3 points, with 3 points as the maximum, and earn a hard work fee. That is, the hard work fee means that the child eats three meals a day at school, exercises and receives education at school, and is funded by the government.

And violence is to be eliminated. Any conflicts should be resolved on the ring and in the open. The behavior of the perpetrator will be recorded, and he will not get full marks on the 5-point assessment. When he reaches adulthood, the recruiting officers will frown slightly and directly refuse to accept him.

He increased the score between 3 and 5 points, lengthening the span. 3 points is roughly equivalent to the basic salary, and 5 points is equivalent to full attendance, performance, etc.

Parents can continue to get sick, get angry outside, go home and beat their children for fun, and torture their children in various ways. They can pile up the amount and ensure a stable income regardless of drought or flood. This is a way to deal with it. There is no problem with this and it is within the scope of normal operation.

Conversely, he can also do something like this. He can refuse to accept people when the population reaches a certain number and simply close the door.

The question is that your previous child's assessment failed and reached the upper limit. Moreover, the government has reason to suspect that your psychological assessment failed. Once the assessment fails, you will lose your job in the textile factory and your child will be taken over by the government. You know how to play, but Dacus knows how to play better than you. Anyway, violence is in his hands.

He gave this matter to Drusala, who knew the importance of the matter and believed that Drusala would do a good job.

And it is indeed feasible. After all, the Duruci society is there, and the population is limited. Whether it is Naggaroth or Asheril, the population is concentrated in cities and settlements. The core purpose of his doing this is to get it back when he can. When the population reaches millions or tens of millions and is distributed everywhere, he can't do anything.

Daily propaganda is the responsibility of the Minister of Propaganda, Tolandil.

The army...

"Organization and equipment can be improved in a short period of time, but morale and the psychological state of soldiers are the most difficult to predict and control. If we can establish our own theoretical system and operation manual in this regard, our troops will no longer be easily frustrated, and the soldiers will always remain firm when facing extreme conditions such as dragons and large-scale magic.

Soldiers do not fight on the battlefield by discipline and punishment, but by an internal motivation. This motivation does not come from fear, nor from simple obedience, but from the recognition of their own identity and trust in the collective. They know what they are doing when they swing their weapons.

They will be back soon, and I want you to take the lead in writing a systematic theory specifically on how to manage and guide the psychological state of soldiers."

"I understand. I will do my best." Dorian took a deep breath and nodded. The expression on his face changed from initial doubt to determination. He straightened his back and looked at Dacus seriously.

"You should go to bed early, and accompany me to the south tomorrow." Daxus's voice was calm and firm, with an unquestionable sense of authority, which made every Druch present nod silently.

After leaving the tent, he walked in the night breeze accompanied by Flanais, and soon he saw Genevieve swinging her legs high up on the outpost.

"I'll go up and take a look."

After a moment he climbed up and sat beside Genevieve, handed her a handful of raisins, and then looked out over the vast expanse of land to the south.

In the distance was a quiet night. Even with the night vision of the elves, it was still pitch black and nothing could be seen. But soon, the outline of Twilight Fortress gradually emerged, and a faint light suddenly burst out from the top of the fortress, breaking through the darkness. But soon, the light disappeared again, and the outline of Twilight Fortress lurked in the darkness again.

The cool night wind lifted his robe slightly, blowing his loose hair. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the air. His mind was full of thoughts. Every decision he made would affect the fate of countless people, and the next step was crucial. (End of this chapter)
