Claude was very curious as to what kind of garrison formation plan the mayor, Baron Robert, had put forward, which angered everyone who attended the meeting. Especially Viricolo's father, Kubelik, who could argue with him on the spot.
He turned his face, cursed a lot and threatened to report it. How much hatred is this...
You must know that the people who can be called to attend this garrison formation meeting are all retired veterans in the town. Although Bailu Town is small, there are more than forty or fifty, and there is no way to bypass them when forming a garrison. The mayor of the town, Baron Robert, is planning to form a garrison.
The plan must be approved by at least two-thirds of the people before it can be implemented. There is no way, this is expressly stipulated by the laws of the kingdom.
Before he ascended the throne, Sterling IX traveled throughout the Farea continent. After returning home, he was appointed by his father, Sterling VIII, as the Minister of Supervision, responsible for rectifying the country's garrison forces. In the process of performing this task,
He found that the garrison troops in many places were full of hooligans without any combat power. They were the best at bullying the people and extorting civilians and businessmen. Most of them became the evil minions of the lords and local officials, and they were nominally the army of the kingdom.
, in fact, they have become the private soldiers of some ambitious people.
In the end, Sterling IX had to go on a killing spree, rectify discipline and reorganize these local garrison troops, and punish all local gangsters according to their crimes. This won him great popularity among the people, and also attracted countless enemies to him.
The hatred between lords and local officials. This is why almost all lords and local officials sided with him after the civil war broke out in the kingdom.
However, Stirling IX eventually won the final victory in the kingdom's civil war. After he ascended the throne, he formulated very detailed legal provisions for the garrison forces in various places to eliminate the possibility of local garrison forces becoming private soldiers and minions of local officials.
At the very least, the local garrison can have a certain combat effectiveness without becoming a source of unrest that disrupts the local area.
The kingdom's military strength is roughly divided into three parts. One is the field troops, which are also field legions stationed at strategic locations. These field legions recruit from the widest range of sources. Even if they are ruffians, it doesn't matter. Sometimes wars will break out and they will be organized.
Forced recruitment activities forcefully recruit local civilians who have no fixed jobs and idle scoundrels into the army, and local ruffians are not refused. Anyway, there are strict military disciplines to restrain them. As long as they undergo a period of rigorous training, they will be able to join the army.
Become a qualified cannon fodder.
The second part is the security battalion in various places. Generally speaking, each county has a local security battalion with about 800 to 900 people. It is divided into four garrison brigades, each with more than 200 people. The garrison battalion
Most of its members are retired and demobilized officers from the field corps, as well as a large number of veterans from the field corps.
For example, a soldier must serve in the army for fifteen years before he can obtain national status. Then he may serve in the field regiment for seven or eight years, and then transfer to a local guard camp to complete the remaining military service and obtain national status. For the kingdom, local
The garrison battalion is a second-line unit responsible for local security and security tasks. During the war, it can be rapidly expanded to fill the shortage of troops on the front line.
The third part is the local garrison. In fact, there are not many local garrison troops in the kingdom. The largest establishment is the garrison brigade, which is responsible for garrisoning strategic points in the kingdom's interior. During the war, it maintains local order and guards the transportation safety of traffic roads.
, to take care of logistical supplies, and sometimes were recruited by the military to go to the front lines as guards of prisoner of war camps.
Since the funds for the formation and maintenance of local garrison forces are not borne by the Kingdom's military headquarters, but are allocated from local finances. Therefore, out of concern that local garrison forces will become private soldiers of local powerful figures, the kingdom's laws have made special arrangements for the establishment of local garrison forces.
Detailed regulations. For example, it is mainly retired veterans, supplemented by civilians with clean family backgrounds. It is strictly forbidden to recruit local gangsters into the army. Even civilians with immediate family members with criminal records are not allowed to join.
Verricro's father, Kubelik, finally lost his temper after scolding the mayor, Baron Robert, and drank a large bowl of rye before asking the mayor, Baron Robert, to organize the White Deer Town Guards.
The plan was stated.
The county's order is that Bailu Town forms a garrison brigade of 224 people. The kingdom's military system is a four-by-four system, that is, four garrison squads form a garrison squadron, and four garrison squadrons form a garrison brigade. The county city then
Ordnance and supplies for a garrison brigade in Bailu Town will be allocated, but the funds for the formation and maintenance of the garrison brigade need to be raised by Bailu Town itself.
Regarding the recruitment of garrison personnel, Bailu Town Town Hall needs to undergo qualification review and approval. The county council orders the garrison battalion to dispatch more than ten officers and veterans to join the garrison brigade as instructors, supervisory officers, and commanders. In this way, there is still a need for a number of mid-level officers.
Veterans from White Deer Township came to fill the vacancy.
In the name of the mayor, Baron Robert convened the retired veterans of White Deer Town and held a meeting to form a garrison brigade. He said straight to the point that the town office was unable to complete this task due to financial constraints. There were only two remaining methods, one was to temporarily levy taxes
, levy a fee on each or every household of Bailu Town residents to use as funds to form a garrison brigade. The second is donations, allowing businesses and wealthy households in Bailu Town to voluntarily donate to raise funds to complete this task.
The people attending this meeting were all retired veterans in the town. By virtue of their national status, they all belonged to the wealthy class in the town. They were not opposed to the temporary taxation and voluntary donations mentioned by the mayor, Baron Robert. Except for their age
Among the elderly and disabled, at least half of the people attending this meeting can find an officer position in the garrison. This will be of great benefit to them in improving their status in the town, even if the monthly salary subsidy is very small for them.
I am also happy to be a member of this defense team.
It’s just that everyone was shocked when Mayor Robert revealed the amount of his taxes and voluntary donations. This amount was a bit too big. Even a security battalion could be established, let alone a garrison brigade. Especially Robert
The mayor also said that this time it is just to raise funds to form a garrison. Next, everyone needs to find ways to raise funds to maintain the garrison. It is best to turn temporary levies into regular levies and levy them twice a year.
Only then can this garrison be maintained.
Therefore, Mayor Robert decided to leave this taxation plan to everyone to complete, then sign his name, and then submit it to the National Assembly of the county. After approval, the town office can implement this plan.
No one is a fool. Several retired veterans who are good at mathematics pointed out the unreasonable amount in this taxation plan on the spot, and believed that the taxation plan proposed by the mayor, Baron Robert, completely shifted the responsibility to the veterans who attended the meeting.
, and then enjoy the benefits. Moreover, these taxes were not monitored in the end. Who knows whether the money will be used for the garrison.
Mayor Robert argued that it was none of his business, because the treasurer was also arrested in the morning on charges of endangering the security of the kingdom. The financial accounts of the town office have not been sorted out, and there is no supervisor. Now it is a mess.
So he could only roughly estimate the amount, but no matter what, more money is always a good thing.
Well, after the three giants of the town office's administrator, treasurer and patrol supervisor were arrested in the morning, they have become the boss of the town mayor Robert Baron. However, the veterans did not give him face. No matter what he said, they did not agree.
These two plans. It is obvious that everyone has seen through Baron Robert's intention. He clearly wants to take advantage of this opportunity to form a garrison brigade to make a lot of money.
Due to unanimous opposition from the retired veterans present at the meeting, Mayor Robert no longer insisted on the two options of taxation and voluntary donations. He said angrily, even if you are not willing to contribute money and efforts to establish this garrison, there are still many.
People were willing to make their own contributions to Bailu Town. Then, he launched another plan to form a garrison brigade.
Mayor Robert said that the owner of the fish processing plant, Bedelier Blanche, was willing to donate the funds to establish the garrison brigade, and promised that he would also bear the funds to maintain the garrison brigade in the future. The only requirement was to serve as the garrison brigade leader.
A squadron leader, and is responsible for recruiting personnel to form this garrison squadron.
If the two fund-raising plans proposed by the mayor, Baron Robert, just caused a little stir, then this plan simply set off a huge wave. The veterans present came to their senses and became furious, asking Mayor Robert what he wanted.
What are you doing? Kubrick even cursed on the spot and threatened to report Mayor Robert for treason...
"Is he crazy? How could he come up with such a plan? This is simply putting his life and wealth on that Bedelier Blanche. If something happens, he won't be able to escape at all..." Claude
It's really surprising that the mayor, Baron Robert, must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to come up with such a plan.
Anyone who is a resident of White Deer Town knows what kind of person Beedelier Blanche is. On the surface, he is the owner of a fish processing factory, with more than two hundred servants under him. But in fact, he
He is the boss of the Black Snake Society and the actual controller of the old streets in the land of romance. His shadow is behind almost all the crimes that occur in the slums. The nickname Bloody Bill is not for nothing. There are rumors that he died at his hands.
The number of innocent people is at least double digits.
However, Beedelier Blanche is also known as the boss in the slums. Even if he is extremely wealthy, no one in the upper class of White Deer Town wants to talk to him. The main reason is that his reputation is too bad and no one wants to get involved with him.
What is the relationship? It was not until Baron Robert became the mayor of the town that Bedrill Blanche had a few opportunities to appear at the family banquets held by Baron Robert.
Although Beedelier Blanche has always claimed that he is a law-abiding citizen and workshop owner, and he is very active in paying taxes and doing charity. However, people who know his details keep a respectful distance, even at those family banquets hosted by Mayor Robert.
Because of Baron Robert's reputation, many people would immediately find excuses to leave after saying a few words to Bedelier Blanche, virtually isolating him.
That is to say, Baron Robert did not mind that Beedelier Blanche's money was a little dirty. He tried hard to win over Beedelier Blanche and wanted to push him into the upper class of White Deer Town to become his assistant. However, in the town,
Due to the resistance of the three giants of the office, this matter has been slow to progress.
Now the three people in the town hall who were against Baron Robert have been arrested. Baron Robert thought that as the mayor, he could dominate the town hall, and actually took advantage of the opportunity to form a garrison to try to get Bedelir.
Bronch was pushed to the front. Everyone knew that becoming a squadron leader of the garrison brigade meant that he had become an upstart figure in White Deer Town.
None of the veterans who attended the meeting did not know Beedel Blunt's background. It was reasonable for Kubrick to scold Mayor Robert for having rebellious intentions. First of all, Beedel Blunt was just a
As a civilian, not a citizen, what qualifications does he have to be the squadron leader of the garrison brigade?
Secondly, Bedelir Blanche asked to be a squadron leader and be responsible for the recruitment and formation of his own squadron. It was obvious that he would only recruit members of the Black Snake Society, which violated the Kingdom's regulations on the garrison.
Legal provisions for recruitment of personnel. When those ruffians are recruited, they will only obey the orders of Beedelier Blanche. This is to establish themselves as a leader in the garrison.
Third, Beedelier Bronch said that he would be responsible for the maintenance funds of the garrison brigade in the future. Everyone knows that apart from personnel rights, the most important thing is financial power. If the maintenance funds of the garrison brigade in the future are provided by Bedelir Bronze
If Longci is in charge, will this garrison become a private soldier who only obeys the orders of Bedelier Bronch?
The meeting broke up unhappily and did not reach any agreement. I believe that Baron Robert will have a clearer mind after this failure. The formation of a garrison in the town cannot bypass veterans like Kubrick. If he
If he dares to exclude all veterans who oppose him from the garrison brigade, he is really asking for his own death, especially at the current juncture of military control...
