Since Roland chose to serve as an integrity officer, he has ended all relations with the military. Unexpectedly, Chris knew Roland's military talent and combat style.
He was right. Roland could always execute Reggie's tactics accurately at the first opportunity. He would not ask so many questions about why, nor would he have any scruples. He was indeed the best candidate to take over the Third Army.
But in the past few months, Roland's performance has been very outstanding, and Reggie is not sure whether he is willing to return to the military camp.
Chris gave another explanation for Reggie's concerns.
"You have established a performance system. To be honest, I don't understand the meaning of performance, nor do I understand your original intention of establishing a performance mechanism. But a large part of your so-called performance depends on the performance of other officials and civilians.
score."
Reggie established a performance system based on the management model of later generations. Each official's score consists of three parts: the lord's score, the peer's score and the public opinion score.
In Reggie's opinion, this is an advanced management concept, but in Chris's opinion, this is a stupid way of governing.
"Think about it, why does an integrity officer get such a high rating? Almost all officials maintain a good relationship with Rowland Field. Is this really normal?"
Reggie had heard something about this matter. The reason why Roland was able to win the support of his colleagues and civilians was because he was tolerant of some things, and almost all of these things were on the edge of the law.
"Since you have established an integrity officer, the purpose is to monitor and control officials. People like Samuel are old-fashioned, mean, follow the law, and do not know how to adapt. His performance is very poor because everyone hates him.
, but this is the best candidate for an integrity officer, and Roland gets along very well with most people, are you sure he can perform his duties correctly?"
Reggie understood what Chris meant, but he really couldn't understand Roland's original intention.
"He chose to be an official on his own initiative, which proves that he is tired of the military life."
"It's not necessarily because you're tired, but because you can't see a way out." Chris made a list. "Jiawen, Erwin, Will, and even Sulit, in your heart, these people have a higher status than Roland."
Field, he couldn't get the status he wanted in the military camp, so he was forced to choose another path. People with ability have ambitions. If you can give him the position of military commander, I believe he will definitely not
Will refuse."
Chris's guess was very accurate. Reggie just had a brief chat with him, and he immediately accepted Reggie's suggestion, gave up his position as an integrity officer, and chose to take over the Third Army.
What satisfied Reggie most was that he did not change the training model of the Third Army. He followed Chris' simple management model and did not focus on the individual combat capabilities of the soldiers. He still strengthened the Third Army from the perspectives of physical fitness and execution.
The overall quality of the military.
The overall capabilities of the Third Army have improved, but Reggie's anxiety has become more serious. Chris already knows Shattered Snow City very well. Letting him be the acting lord will be a very dangerous decision.
Moreover, Chris did not approve of Reggie going to the White Tower Country. The intelligence agency he trained for Reggie was already in operation and had received some unconfirmed rumors.
"In your words, we can't go out and wander around now. Charlemagne has united three countries and is preparing to attack you."
"Three countries," Reggie was startled, "I really don't think there are so many enemies, right?"
"Have some confidence in yourself. You really have a lot of enemies," Chris said. "You have occupied the Hanfeng Fortress in the Bayer Kingdom. Sophia will take action against you sooner or later. Now she has captured the Royal Capital.
Sean is forced into the tundra, and she can mobilize her troops at any time to counterattack."
"Count her in," Reggie nodded. "Who else?"
"The Golden Eagle Kingdom wants to take back Camel Island."
"Count it as one, what else?"
"You rejected the goodwill of the Benlang Kingdom, and they now regard you as their enemy."
"Wait!" Reggie frowned, "I didn't reject them, it was you who rejected them."
"Please be reasonable," Chris said, "it was you who beat up their envoys and used them to plot against Charlemagne."
"Everything I do has no meaning. Their goodwill is originally for you and has nothing to do with me."
Chris sighed and said: "Will making these calculations with me help your situation in any way?"
Chris is right, there is really no point in arguing with him now, but there is one thing that Reggie can't figure out: "How much hatred does Charlemagne have against me? The Wolf Kingdom will not help him for no reason, he may
We have to pay the price of several cities in exchange for the army of the Wolf Kingdom."
Chris laughed dryly and said: "He has just become the king, and he must hope to establish his majesty through war."
Reggie tilted his head and said, "Is it just because of this?"
Chris lowered his head, licked his lips and said, "Actually, you know the reason, right? He came for me. I am the only one who can threaten his throne."
Reggie stared at Chris for a long time. He liked Chris' guilty look.
"Don't worry about this, my friend, I will not allow anyone to hurt you," Reggie touched Chris' hand and asked, "When are they going to send troops."
Chris pushed Reggie away and said with a look of disgust: "It's hard to say. Before you get the exact news, you'd better not leave Shattered Snow City, and don't let Batchelor leave Camel Island."
The plan to sail was temporarily shelved, but three days later, an imminent incident pushed Reggie to the edge of the cliff.
Noros sent news that Broken Snow City has run out of charcoal.
Like nitric acid, charcoal is also the industrial pillar of Shattered Snow City. After the mass production of yellow gunpowder, the demand for black gunpowder dropped significantly, and it is no longer the main expense of charcoal. But as excellent reducing agents and fuels, white phosphorus, glass
, steel, sulfuric acid and a series of other industries are all inseparable from charcoal.
Without charcoal, there is no way to produce muskets, no rockets, no iron barrel bombs, and even hot air balloons cannot take off.
"Charcoal is the lifeblood of Snow City!" Reggie angrily scolded Decto, "Can't you even guarantee the lifeblood of Snow City?"
This is really not the fault of Dexter. In the past month, he has been taking great risks and searching for charcoal. But Nipoli was in trouble. The Kingdom of Lane had closely monitored his family.
It is no longer possible to provide goods to Broken Snow City. Reggie's demand for charcoal is so huge that it is a fool's errand to purchase a sufficient amount of charcoal from some scattered merchants.
The plan to explore new routes is once again on the agenda. He will face a fierce battle at sea and also have to defend himself on land. The time has come to confront the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and test his family's wealth.
