Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

On the second day after the meeting with the knights, Paul divided the troops according to his new organization. There were nearly 600 new and old soldiers in total, and they were divided into two infantry battalions that were not fully organized.

After organizing the soldiers, he remembered that there was still a group of lord's palace guards. He had obsessive-compulsive disorder and decided to organize a group for them, and set up a separate unit - the internal guard force.

Modeled on the armed police system of the previous life, the two levels at the grassroots level are still squads and platoons, followed by squadrons, brigade, and detachments, corresponding to companies, battalions, and regiments respectively. To save trouble, the same military rank system as in the army is implemented. There were only 60 guards in the Lord's Mansion, so they were organized into two platoons.

As for the knights and their attendants, this is more difficult. After all, the knight class has already touched the threshold of the nobility. According to his observation, the gap between the nobility and the common people in this world is still quite large. They are mixed together. Being in a system might arouse their dissatisfaction, and the position of lord under their own has not yet been firmly established, but it feels strange to have such considerable power to separate them.

So he had a confidential conversation with Bryce first and expressed his thoughts and concerns. Unexpectedly, Bryce blushed and said that he was worrying too much and explained to him.

It turns out that when the Gleiman family was kicked to the northwest coast by the king, it had a strong distribution nature. The previous vassals were either implicated and punished together, or they changed their families and joined others.

The knights in the territory now...

"Uh... how should I put it?" Bryce hesitated, "It's a bit offensive to say it. The lord's family was prohibited from canonizing new vassal nobles by the royal family at that time. Although your ancestors gave us knight fiefs, ours Knight status is not recognized by the kingdom officials and other nobles. People like us are generally called "wild knights". Apart from knowing some words and practicing martial arts, we are no different from ordinary people. Most of us often work in the fields by ourselves. ”

Paul asked strangely: "Then Baron Ford is...?"

"His title was inherited from a distant relative. He had served the Lord's family for a long time before inheriting the title. Moreover, he is a 'vessed nobleman', which means he only has the title of a noble but does not have a fief."

"I see, then it's up to you to recruit them into the army. I think you are very prestigious among them."

Bryce sweated profusely and responded in one breath: "No, no, I can just drink them all down at the wine table. Don't worry, I won't let the earl down."

Sure enough, as Bryce said, there was no conflict between the knights and their followers. Most of them were appointed as officers of the troops at all levels. Bryce and another knight named Claude were appointed as the first step. Commander of the Barracks and the Commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion.

Then a series of physical fitness tests were conducted to select the monitors of each class. Originally, we wanted to use the number of literacy points as the maximum scoring factor for selection, but when asked, almost all of the hundreds of people were illiterate, and a few of them were illiterate. He could only recognize and spell his own name, so he had no choice but to take the physical fitness test first.

It is precisely because the overall cultural level of the team is not high that the selected low-level officers have the word agent in front of their job names, and their military ranks are also temporary. All current soldiers are private soldiers, and acting squad leaders are temporary corporals.

"Okay, in view of the recent tense military situation, let's start training without further ado." The little earl said enthusiastically. Regardless of everyone's objections, he was determined to pull the team to the woods outside the town for training, and announced that the training would be continued all the time. Camp in the woods.

He only brought the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 1st Internal Guard Platoon, and the 1st Battalion was left in Huxin Town to deal with emergencies.

After choosing a place, the new recruits began to set up camp under the leadership of the veterans. Paul found Knight Claude - now Major Claude - to discuss a training plan.

He gave Claude a piece of parchment, filled it with words in a eloquent manner, and said proudly: "Look, Claude, have you ever seen a more genius training plan than this!"

Claude took it and browsed it quickly, sweating profusely and said, "Sir, training like this will kill people."

"What, how is that possible? This is already a shortened version with many subjects cut off."

"Sir, the intensity of this training is almost comparable to the training I did when I was a knight's retinue."

"You can handle it, why can't they?"

"Nutrition is very important! My lord, although I was not well-off at that time, I could eat meat at least once a week. These civilian-born soldiers did not have such conditions. According to the previous food standards, we could only ensure that they were hungry. I don’t feel hungry, but once the amount of exercise increases, it’s hard to hold on without eating meat.”

Paul slapped his forehead: "I didn't even consider this. Let's do it. I will write a letter immediately and send it to Philip, asking him to strengthen the food supply to us, especially to increase the supply of meat. In addition, we I also organize manpower hunting every day.”

Claude laughed: "Well... I don't have any objections, but Butler Philip is probably going to vomit blood again."

"Lord, in addition to physical training, it also mentions standing in military posture, kicking forward, queue training and other confusing words. I can understand it literally, but can you explain it further?"

"Discipline, discipline, Claude, did you see the embarrassment in the previous military parade? Our army must be uniform, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and act as a whole at all times, so that there is momentum, rather than a group of scattered guerrillas."

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Claude's forehead was sweating: "The requirements of the regular army of the kingdom are not so high! Well, you are right."

"It's getting late now, let's not practice other subjects for now, let's stand at attention before dinner to whet our appetite! Hehehehehe..."

Looking at the busy soldiers, the eager young earl rubbed his hands while giving a sinister laugh that made Claude's back cold.
