After the Gamilios father and son left the Governor's Residence, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked Maxi to call Wendell and Simpson to the conference room, and the Governor's Guard and the Tasia Legion would be handed over to the two of them in the future.
Originally, Bai Feng also planned to negotiate with Gamilios about the renaming of the Tasia Legion, but now that Gamilios himself has taken the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, Bai Feng can decide the name change of the Tasia Legion by himself.
The Cheetah Legion, which is also a Macedonian Phalanx Legion, is named after the leopard among the beasts, and the new name of the Tasya Legion, Bai Feng is going to use this leopard again, it is a flying leopard that sounds more majestic than a cheetah!
The Flying Leopard Legion, this is the new name of the Tasya Legion, because the battle flag of the Cheetah Legion is an imposing cheetah, so the battle flag of the Flying Leopard Legion needs to be adjusted, on the basis of the cheetah, and a pair of black wings are added.
Whether someone else's is better or Rome's is better depends on Simpson's performance as the captain.
Wendell and Simpson didn't let Bai Feng wait in the conference room for a long time, and they quickly came to the conference room under the leadership of Maxi when they were temporarily living in the city of Rome, and when they saw the governor who was waiting for them, they did not dare to hesitate and saluted respectfully.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, you are all my confidants and favorite generals, don't care about these false courtesies; I called you here today to ask how you are doing in the Tuntian Legion, and if you want to be transferred out of the Tuntian Legion. ”
"Yes!" Before Bai Feng's words could be heard, Wendell and Simpson couldn't wait to give their own answers, and after they finished speaking, they looked at each other awkwardly and blushed embarrassedly.
"Haha, it seems that putting you in the Tuntian Army is indeed wronged by you! Otherwise, you would have wanted to be transferred out like this!"
"Governor, we are not aggrieved! It's just that the Tuntian Legion is not a field legion after all, we want to make contributions to the city of Rome and the governor in the field legion, even if it is an ordinary centurion in the field legion, we are willing!"
Hearing Bai Feng's joke, Wendell and Simpson didn't dare to be careless, relatively speaking, Simpson, who was better at words, quickly stood up and explained to Bai Feng, while Wendell on the side nodded again and again, indicating that his thoughts were the same.
"Although the Tuntian Legion is not a field legion, you are also the chief general of the first army commanding 8,000 soldiers in the Tuntian Legion; are you really willing to go to the field legion to serve as the most ordinary centurion in order to get the opportunity to go to the battlefield?"
"Governor, I do!" replied Wendell in a resounding voice.
"Governor, I do!" replied Simpson, just as firmly.
"Well, since you are so eager to fight, then I can't help but satisfy you, immediately you will go back to your respective Tuntian Legion to handle the handover formalities, and tomorrow you will report to the Governor's Guard and the Flying Leopard Legion respectively!"
"Flying Leopards?" questioned Wendell.
"It's the original Tasia Legion, and in two days the Tasia Legion will be officially renamed the Flying Leopard Legion; at that time, there will be no Tasya Legion in our Roman City, and there will only be a new Flying Leopard Legion in the future!"
"Is General Nagamilios still the commander of the Flying Leopards?" said Simpson.
"Before you came here, General Gamilios had just left me, and he had voluntarily resigned from me as commander of the Tasya Legion, which is why the Tasya Legion was officially renamed the Flying Leopard Legion.
Besides, you don't really think I'm going to let you go to the Governor's Guard and the Flying Leopards to be centurions, do you? Am I that stingy? Starting tomorrow, Wendell, you'll be the new commander of the Governor's Guard, and Simpson, you'll be the first Captain of the Flying Leopards!"
Ten minutes ago, Gamilios, who was sitting face to face with Bai Feng in the conference room, only felt that happiness came too suddenly after Bai Feng announced his new appointment, and ten minutes later, Wendell and Simpson, who were also sitting in the conference room, also had this feeling.
From the commander of the Tuntian Legion to the commander of the Field Legion, on the surface it was only a horizontal transfer, but the internal gap was more than a huge disparity, and the two tried to hide their inner excitement by remaining calm, but their trembling hands betrayed them.
"Governor, General Gamilios voluntarily resigned as commander of the Tasya Legion, but what about General Perris? General Peris is the most important core figure in the Doge's Guard, and I know that I am not capable of replacing General Peris. ”
"Wendell, it's not a good habit to be presumptuous, you and Peris are different kinds of generals, he has his strengths, and you have your strengths. I'm sure the Doge's Guard, under your leadership, will do even better than it does now!
As for General Perris, he is already the commander of the Lion Legion, and this appointment will be officially announced at the next military meeting, and the rebuilt Lion Legion must have a general like him to support the overall situation. ”
"The Governor is wise!" Bai Feng was still in a good mood to hear this kind of flattery that was not flattering from the mouths of two generals who were not good at sycophants, and after smiling and waving his hand to let the two of them step back, Bai Feng, who had been busy all morning, was about to start doing other things.
The official order for the transfer of all generals and the renaming and reorganization of the legions in the city of Rome will be announced at the Supreme Military Council in three days' time, and before that, Bai Feng must hurry up and deal with the replenishment of the soldiers of the various legions, so that each legion can be restored to full strength as much as possible.
The hoplite cavalry units being formed by Antio and the Macedonian phalanx legions being formed by Leonidas were relatively quick to take shape among the Roman legions, and the other legions had the best men when they were still looking for suitable men among the prisoners of war.
It still takes time for the new legion to accumulate in terms of improving its combat effectiveness and running in soldiers, but a chance of chance is the best opportunity for Leonidas's new legion to improve its combat effectiveness.
The veterans of the four field regiments and the two Macedonian phalanx regiments have basically undergone special training in the urban barracks and shooting ranges, and those prisoners of war who are to be selected will naturally not be able to catch up with the special training in the urban military barracks and shooting ranges this month.
The soldiers who were drawn from the Tuntian Legion and supplemented the Field Corps could immediately be put into special training, but how to distribute them was a headache; in desperation, Bai Feng adopted the simplest way to solve this problem.
The Lions, who had not undergone special training and suffered the heaviest casualties on the battlefield, were given priority to replenish the reinforcements from the Tuntian Legion, and then the special training places for this month were naturally given to Perris's Lion Legion and Leonidas's new legion.
The special training on the side of the cavalry stables also went relatively smoothly, and Antio completed all the 4,000 cavalry needed to form the heavy cavalry unit in one night; plus the cavalry units attached to the new legion, this is the special training unit of the cavalry stables this month.
