Chapter 122 is growing up, asking for a monthly ticket
"Quiet, quiet, the time is up, the personnel are also here, the first enlarged meeting of officers above the deputy guard commander of the Yongye Army was officially held. There should be 292 people, but in fact there are 291
Mr. Korelf, the commander of the Eagle Eye Special Service, was absent from this meeting due to a special mission. Now I announce that the first enlarged meeting of officers of the Evernight Legion has been officially convened."
In the past year, the size of the Evernight Legion itself has only increased by one regiment, from the original three to four, which is less than 10,000 people in full. Officers above the deputy guard chief can only have a hundred people at best. In addition to its own special
The effect of the Skull Crushing Legion killed one hundred and fifty people.
However, the Eternal Night Army has an attached engineering corps that is more than twice as large as itself.
The top management of this corps is part-time by the Evernight Legion, with the highest being the regimental commander. There are five reinforced regiments. The officer configuration is basically the same as that of the Evernight Legion, but they are all reinforcements. After all, they are more interested in territory than fighting.
The internal infrastructure does not require so high management requirements for officers.
"Now for the first item of the conference, our Deputy Commander Marshall will summarize for us the fruits of our labor in the past year. Let us invite you with applause, Deputy Commander Marshall."
Marshall walked quickly to the podium amidst applause.
Since the scale of this meeting was too large, there were too many participants, there was no sound amplification equipment, and there was no superb echo building like Solo Arena. The venue was circular, and the speaker stood in the middle to ensure that everyone could
Can hear the speaker clearly.
Marshall, who is the same age as Sean, has changed a lot in the past year or so. Not only has his height grown by more than half, but his waist has also become thicker. He is still as big as a brick, with a dark face and rough skin.
Obviously, he has been exposed to wind and sun, which makes him look two or three years older than his actual age. Although Sean is the general of the Eternal Night Army, many practical affairs are handled by Marshall, especially Sean.
During the period when he was the master, he was the highest commander of the Eternal Night Legion.
Thanks to the special composition of the Eternal Night Legion, most of the members are fully loyal to Sean. Otherwise, with Sean's virtue, it would not be too easy for others to ignore him.
Complex affairs are the best whetstone and a good medicine for people to mature. In addition to the immature look on his face, both his expression and manner are full of sophistication.
But when he opened his mouth, the drake voice that was in the stage of changing his voice was still full of comedy elements, but no one laughed. Not only was he used to it, but also because many of them had this kind of virtue, and the Eternal Night Legion itself was
A scary group of young people.
According to the existing statistics, the average age of the main force soldiers of the Yongye Legion is seventeen years old, and the average age of the main force officers is eighteen years old. In fact, it is even about half a year younger, because many soldiers inside are not sure about their own age.
No, it's just fishing in troubled waters based on your physique.
The average age of the Skull Crusher Legion is slightly older, with both soldiers and officers being twenty-one years old.
Recruitment conditions for the Affiliated Engineer Corps are relatively generous. The average age of engineers is 27, and the average age of officers of the Engineer Corps is 20.
Not to mention the average age of soldiers, in this world that doesn't care about the use of child labor, the average age of soldiers is not particularly high, especially those legions full of cannon fodder, but the average age of officers is absolutely incredible.
In a somewhat regular army, the average age of officers is generally around twenty-seven or eighty-eight. This is the best time for human beings, when their physical strength has not declined, and they have rich life experience, so it is not easy to be hot-blooded and confused on the field.
Being young also has the advantage of being young, which is strong cohesion and full of momentum.
"Before I conclude, I want to make a few remarks." Marshall looked around, "Recently, the morale of the military has been relatively impetuous. Many soldiers think that we are neglecting military affairs and believe that only on the battlefield can soldiers show their value.
If you want to start a war, you either want to fight against the Walled City Alliance in the mountains, or you want to recapture the Bastille."
"Some military officers not only fail to provide ideological education and reverse this wrong ideological trend, but also add fuel to the flames. I am here to save face for you today. I will not name you one by one, nor will I criticize you. I will use real statistics to tell you.
, have we really done nothing during this time? You only need to listen, no need to take notes. After the meeting, a simplified version of the statistics table will be given to you, take it back and tell it to the soldiers."
"In the past year and five months, the Yongye Army has recruited and resettled more than 89,000 mountain residents, built a total of 123 cities, more than 21,000 houses, and an irrigation water truck.
More than 130 aircraft, more than 210 wind mills, three large processing plants, more than 200 kilometers of roads have been paved, and the internal unification of measurement units has been initially completed."
"The Yongye Army currently has 50,000 hectares of farmland, 80,000 hectares of fertile land cultivated by the mountain people themselves, more than 8,000 cattle domesticated by the four-cornered high-backed mountain cattle, 10,000 and 2 war horses, and goats, wild boar, chickens and ducks
The total number of poultry such as geese exceeds one million."
Every time Marshall said a number, there would be a burst of thunderous applause. The young officers of the Evernight Army were all red-faced, feeling both self-blame and unconcealable pride.
Needless to say, they are proud of their creation.
The self-blame is because in Marshall's initial criticism, they all made such mistakes, especially the officers of the main army.
Compared with the Affiliated Engineer Corps, they are carefully selected after all. Although the Yongye Corps has always emphasized equality, they are the people's soldiers and serve the people, but it is inevitable that some young people have high self-esteem.
, especially when facing the attached engineer regiment.
But they now do the same job as the Affiliated Engineer Corps. The only difference is that the salary is 30% higher, and the training intensity and discipline are far higher than that of the Affiliated Engineer Corps.
If things go on like this, resentment will inevitably arise in their hearts, and it is normal for them to have some criticisms. However, they have just had enough of it, and the amount of construction and training that should be completed cannot be compromised at all.
But when faced with these shocking figures, they felt sincerely ashamed. If they had complained less and led their brothers to work harder, the figures might have been even more brilliant.
Even so, from scratch, in just one and a half years, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians have created so much wealth, which is definitely something to be proud of.
And many officers present knew that what Marshall said was only on the surface, and he was not afraid of numbers that others would know.
As for the medical research institute in the mountains, the iron and steel making factory, the sewing machine factory, the Tang's nail processing factory...
These units related to military industry and new technology are all classified at a high level of confidentiality. Even these officers only heard about it through hearsay. They keep these secrets in their stomachs and would never talk about them on such an occasion.
However, they all know that this is the foundation for the future development of the Eternal Night Legion. Apart from anything else, the Tang's studded armor processing factory with less than a thousand people has provided them with more wealth than they have collected from the Manyu Army Leader.
One-third of the financial revenue of the Eternal Night Legion.
This still limits the supply. Since most of them are for the Yongye Army's own use, if the quantity is released, we don't know what kind of shock it will cause in the Manyu Army!
"As for the treatment of the legion, I don't need to say more. What equipment did you use and what did you eat a year and a half ago? Compare with what you use, eat, and wear now. How come I heard that some soldiers are tired of eating pork?
Yes, do you want to be vegetarian?"
Marshall's last question caused the whole room to burst into laughter. This was a joke that everyone in the Evernight Legion knew from top to bottom. This situation happened under relatively extreme circumstances.
One of the pig pens of the Centennial Guard was buried by a landslide, killing dozens of pigs. It happened to be rainy weather, and the pork could not be transported to the brother's unit, so I had to take advantage of the Centennial Guard and ate it for a week.
The pork that was not processed in time became smelly.
In order not to waste it, the chief cook still stewed it in a big pot for the soldiers to eat. Several strong soldiers vomited and purged from the food, crying that they would never eat pork again and wanted to be vegetarian.
Although the chief cook received military disciplinary action, the joke also spread, but it was more about making fun of the current living conditions of the Evernight Legion.
"Although this is an example that only appeared under extreme circumstances, it also fully illustrates the improvement of the quality of life of our regiment. But don't be complacent. It's not enough just for us to be full. We also need to let the mountain people who follow and trust us
They are also well fed and clothed. Only then will they sincerely support us. If our lives reach that level, do you still think that the so-called Walled City Alliance is a threat to us?"
"No!" All the officers agreed loudly.
If it was the same problem a year ago, they might have hesitated because they were not sure whether they could do it, but now, they have no doubt about it.
As long as they are given another two years, they may not be able to lead those Andis people to a well-off society, but it will be a piece of cake to escape the threat of hunger and have enough food for every family.
If God is willing, the weather will be good in the past two years, and it will be easy to fill the granary.
With regard to their current living conditions, the mountain people of the Walled City Alliance are still salivating. Many mountain people secretly come to join the village, and even the harsh punishment policies of the Walled City Alliance cannot stop them.
There was no other way. The generals of the Walled City Alliance could only learn from the Evernight Legion and follow suit to engage in various constructions and land reclamation.
But the problem is, what the Eternal Night Legion can do, doesn't mean others can do it too.
First, the Walled City Alliance does not have as many outstanding low-level officers as the Evernight Legion. Don't underestimate their role. They allocate manpower, encourage the enthusiasm of soldiers and mountain people to work, conduct supervision, and reasonably punish them. They are indispensable.
Without them, no matter how many people are gathered, they will be scattered. Not only will the collective strength not be exerted, but production efficiency will be reduced.
Both, there are too many interest disputes within the Walled City Alliance. Dozens of generals and leaders represent dozens of interest groups. Everyone wants to gain some benefits from their own group, but as a result, their own people cannot compete first.
After making peace, the only thing left is to use force. These things alone have distracted most of the energy of the generals and leaders, so how can they care about the production below?
The final result is that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, large-scale production is not embarrassing, and there are many internal conflicts. If it were not for the existence of a powerful foreign enemy like the Eternal Night Legion, the so-called Walled City Alliance would have fallen apart long ago.
"Brilliant achievements do not necessarily have to be achieved with swords. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. I have finished my speech. Thank you for listening."
Marshall finally put forward his main argument. The previous figures were all paved the way for this, and also briefly extended the theme of this meeting. As one of the top leaders of the Eternal Night Legion, his speech was by no means just representative of his own.
mean.
Prior to this, the top management must have reached a consensus, otherwise a dispute would arise during the meeting, which would be extremely detrimental to the harmony and stability of the entire legion.
Perhaps because the numbers in front were too impactful, the officers below gave him the warmest applause.
The supporter of the meeting just now came forward again and said: "The meeting will proceed to the second item. Inspector General Chad, the director of the Military Discipline Inspection Institute of the Yongye Legion, will summarize for us the shortcomings of the past year."
As a rapidly developing group, not only the group itself is growing, but the people in the group are also growing, and Chad is one of the typical examples.
He has reached his current position not only because of his relationship with Sean, but also because of his own strength, just like Marshall.
With the improvement of various systems of the Evernight Legion, Sean's influence is gradually weakening.
Not only is Sean not unhappy about this phenomenon, but he is happy to see it, because it means that this group is maturing step by step. When the Eternal Night Legion comes out of his shadow, it will be truly mature.
To be honest, Sean was a little surprised that Chad could sit in his current position.
In Sean's impression, Chad has never been the kind to stand out. His personal prowess and learning ability were mediocre at the same time. He was neither top-notch nor lagging behind, nor did he strive to be the first in many things.
The only thing that left a deep impression on him was probably that he was a survivor of the bloody battle in the village and on the mountain road.
Such a person who adheres to the golden mean actually defeated countless top competitors and sat on the position of Inspector General of Military Discipline. He has been in the position for a year and a half. It is so strong that no one can shake it until now.
When the name Inspector General Chad was mentioned, the officer below couldn't help but adjust his clothes, sit up straight, and even the smile on his face became normal.
Obviously, in the past year and a half, Chad has built up his reputation, and even has the nickname "Smiling Tiger" because he still adheres to the original doctrine of moderation in front of others, is kind-hearted, and smiles often.
Yes, but when it comes to improving military discipline, they are ruthless and ruthless. They don't sell anyone's face, including Sean's.
One of his most famous things is that Sean and Marshall who came to ask for mercy were kicked out of the office, pointing at their noses and yelling curses.
