From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 115 Military System Reform (4K)

"What's your name, what's your extraordinary power level, and where did you come from?"

Drey looked at the slovenly man in front of him and asked a series of questions.

Due to Ryan's long-standing policy, Kanarling has been actively absorbing extraordinary people. During the period, because of the high remuneration, it still attracted some mercenaries and wandering knights to interview.

Among them, the army is the most in demand, and they are all interviewed by Legion Commander De Lai. He has long been accustomed to these slovenly mercenaries, and he is not too concerned.

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

"My name is Calvin Murt, a junior knight from the west of the kingdom, and a mercenary."

"You may not know that Karna's army is semi-professional and highly disciplined. If you want to join, can you stand the discipline?"

De Lai knocked on the table, looked at him with a serious expression, and added: "If you want to quit after joining, it will not be so easy. Of course, we also have a lot of good treatment. In addition to housing allocation and high salary, There are other benefits as well."

Calvin thought about it. Although his freedom was restricted, the treatment seemed to be good. Who would want to be a precarious mercenary with a stable income?

"Okay, I can accept it."

De Lai raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but said without saying anything, "Okay, go out and turn left to report to the second battalion, you can receive sixty silver delores every month, there will be subsidies in wartime, housing Allocated within a month."

In this way, Calvin transformed from a mercenary into an officer of the second battalion, and on his third day in the army, he finally saw the legendary lord whom the soldiers talked about, but unfortunately , he was late at midnight.

"Knight Calvin, as a soldier, your performance is very unqualified." Allen's face was a little ugly. For the first time, an officer who was a little late appeared under his command, and it was right in front of Ryan.

For this upright knight, this was undoubtedly an unacceptable thing, and his voice was rarely harsh.

"Uh, Mr. Deputy Legion Commander, I promise there will be no next time." Calvin scratched his head and said with a smile.He is used to being a mercenary, and he is really not used to the work and rest of the army.

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

"What? Are you crazy? I'm a knight, and you punish me like those pariahs?"

Calvin was a little unbelievable. In this world, extraordinary people have some privileges, and no one will punish them for trivial matters, let alone such insulting corporal punishment.

The movement here naturally caught Ryan's attention. He walked up to Calvin, reached out and held down Allen who was about to speak, looked at him and said indifferently: "Don't you need to be punished if you are a knight who violated the military law?"

When Calvin met his eyes, his body stiffened immediately. Those eyes contained no emotion, only endless indifference. He seemed to be able to hide a bloody color in those eyes.

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

"Oh, is it? What's the difference? Is it because you are stronger? An army must have iron-like discipline in order to charge forward and be invincible. If you can change the situation of the war alone, then I don't have to punish you. "

Ryan approached him step by step, every step seemed to step on his heart.The aura emanating from his body was like a lion, and it frightened him to death.

"Gudong"

He swallowed hard, then knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

When he uttered these words, the heavy pressure on him instantly dissipated, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In such a split second, his back was already drenched in sweat.

"Hmph, to contradict the officer, add another three hours."

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

This was originally a small matter, but when he said that sentence, it had already changed its nature.

If he can't be dealt with seriously, his prestige will be greatly reduced in the hearts of the more than 2000 soldiers on the school grounds. For the generals, rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, and no matter what the opponent's status is, he must not be favoritism.

If extraordinary people have privileges in the army, it will be a very serious matter, and it will cause class antagonism.

Sure enough, his handling was respected by the soldiers present. Who would not support a commander who can treat everyone equally?
Feeling the fiery eyes of the soldiers, Ryan was very satisfied. The image of the commander in the hearts of the soldiers is also very important as the soul of the general.

Stepping up to the general platform step by step, Ryan was quite satisfied when he looked at the "Tuntian Army" neatly arranged in small squares with the brigade as the unit below.

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

He came here today not just to inspect the army, but to confer military flags and numbers on the two battalions. Military flags and numbers are the symbols of an army, and they are indispensable places where the soul of the army gathers.

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

"Gentlemen, you are all warriors who have been selected through numerous selections, and you bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the lives and property of more than [-] people in Kana. Today, I will present the flag to you!

'Tuntian Army', the official designation is the First Legion, the head of the legion, De Lai, and the deputy head of the army, Alan, are awarded the eagle flag! "

De Lai stepped forward slowly, and solemnly took over a large flag, which is based on blue as a whole, with golden lines dotted around it. The pattern on the top is a white eagle soaring with wings, and the word used below is " The U" shape wraps around the eagle.

The meaning of the word is: "Kanaland First Legion."

"The first battalion is awarded the red-bottomed falcon flag. The second battalion is awarded the red-bottomed goshawk flag."

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

That knight was a wandering knight recruited before, named Coron, a junior knight, and was assigned to the first battalion led by Drey.

The flag-presenting ceremony did not last long. After the meeting, Ryan, Drey, and Allen gathered in the barracks conference room.

This meeting room is not big, but it has a very commemorative item.

Behind the head of a long table, a scarlet flag was hung on it. It was the flag of the orc tribe captured at the beginning, and it has been hung here as a commemoration.

But now, the First Legion has its own military flag, so it can only be moved down. The eagle flag must be hung on it.

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

"I also think that, as you said before, the current organization of the army is a bit too simple. I don't think it's just ten or a hundred people in the squadron. But after reaching the battalion, it goes directly to a thousand people, and the requirements for the commander are even higher. up.

I'm not boasting. In Kana now, the only commanders who can command more than a thousand soldiers are the three of us present. Hans can only barely command, and it's okay to defend the city. If you need to arrange troops in the wild Not enough to watch.

As for the legion at a higher level, the number has reached tens of thousands of people. None of us have such command experience. Even if we have command, it will be very difficult. It will be difficult to get up.

And sometimes, on a battlefield, there are too many legions and too few battalions. If several battalions are used at the same time, then command becomes a problem. Everyone has the same military rank, and no one obeys the other.

In the past, this kind of situation was discussed, which greatly affected the efficiency.Therefore, it is urgent to refine the establishment. Although we only have 2000 people now, we will not always have only 2000 people. Now that we have fewer people, it is better for us to change. "

Although De Lai's reputation was not obvious before, what he said hit the nail on the head, telling the shortcomings of the current military system.

To give a simple example, a small leader originally only commanded ten people, which was very easy, but after he was upgraded to a level, he had to command 100 people, and the difficulty increased by ten times, and the battalion above that was ten times more difficult. .

The sudden increase in the number of people is not a small challenge for the commander.

An ordinary general has reached his limit if he can command tens of millions of people, and those who command 20 to [-] are all famous generals in the world.

Looking at the great oriental country of Blue Star in the previous life, with a history of thousands of years, only Han Xin commanded troops, the more the better.

But how many Han Xins are there in the world?Most of them are not even generals. He obviously can only command a few hundred people, but after being promoted to a higher level, he directly leads thousands of soldiers. It is no wonder that he can command well.

And there is another point that the existing military system will cause grassroots officers to be unmotivated, because there are fewer positions, which makes it more difficult to promote.

Lan Xing is a lieutenant, colonel, and general in the third rank and tenth rank, and there are non-commissioned officers and privates below him. He has the goal of climbing up, and he can move even when his qualifications are over.

And this is the fifth level at the top, there are too many real monks, and it is normal for a position to not move for several years or decades. If you can't get through the qualifications, how can people have the motivation to climb up?
Of course, Ryan also understands that it's not that no one has discovered this problem, but that they don't care because the class is solidified.

Take Ryan as an example when he was in the Chelsea Legion. Ordinary people can only serve as small captains, and the big captains are at least knights.

And knights generally stop at captains. You have to have the title of jazz or even baron to be a battalion commander, and the unspoken rule for the commander of the legion is that at least the title of viscount or higher is required.

Look, the positions of each class are fixed, do you dare to move?
This is what De Lai said, more people will make it difficult to move, the class will be solidified, and the involvement will be too deep. If there is no accident, the military system of the Kingdom of Tistan will almost be dead, unless there is another figure like the founding king. To reshape the universe.

In the current Karna collar, the class has not yet been fully finalized, extraordinary people are rare, and the baron is only Ryan, and most of them are ordinary people.

This gave Ryan a chance to make drastic reforms, just a word.

He didn't think that extraordinary people must be better than ordinary people in command. Although they are indispensable in war, they are not necessarily in command.

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

Allen nodded in agreement, and asked Ryan. Based on his understanding of Ryan, as long as he brought it up, he probably already had a solution.

"My preliminary idea is that the military system needs to be suitable for various situations, so we divide all soldiers into a basic combat unit, which can be flexibly deployed during wartime.

According to previous experience, it is more reasonable for five people to form a combat unit. The basic configuration is two pike soldiers, two sword and shield soldiers, and a captain dispatched in the middle.

Of course, they can also be five shield soldiers or five archers. The matching of weapons should adapt to the battlefield situation, so there are no rigid requirements. "

Ryan rested his hands on his chin, and expressed his thoughts step by step:
"These five people form a squad, two squads make a group, five groups make a team, two teams make a team, five teams make a guard, two guards make a battalion, five battalions make an army, and two armies make a legion.

I call this the five-two system, replacing the previous decimal system. "

"Five, ten, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, squads and groups lead guard battalions and legions.

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

Whether it is a small-scale melee or a large-scale army battle, you can better arrange your troops. "

The more De Lai talked, the brighter his eyes became, and he clearly agreed with the May-Second Military System.

"Just in this way, our demand gap for middle and low-level officers will be expanded many times." Allen pondered for a while, and posed a difficult problem to the two of them.

"This is not a problem, I believe that there is no shortage of talents, what is lacking is the eyes of discovery.

We can use the method of assessment to select officers. Officers below the commander, as long as they can master the basics of military formation coordination, understand orders, and dare to fight, they are considered qualified.

From the team level to the battalion level, it is necessary to know how to arrange troops, know certain tactics of war, and have a certain ability to judge the situation on the battlefield. Personal bravery is also more important.The standard of each level must of course increase step by step.

Not to mention those above the battalion level, they must have rich command experience, and each of them needs to have the ability to act independently. "

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

"Low-level officers can use the method of nomination, and middle-level officers will be assessed by us personally. It will be more efficient like this." Allen nodded.

"That's right, a good way." De Lai gave him a thumbs up. This is what Ryan often uses, and he has also learned it.

"Well, let's make a preliminary determination of the military system, first improve it, and then implement it after the formation of the city defense battalion. The effect needs to be tested through practice.

Then the style of military uniform and standard equipment need to be finalized. I have already sent a letter back to my mother, and they will move to the territory in the near future. "
