"Chapter 14: Wing Expansion"

Psychoanalysis has three pillars, namely the psychological mechanisms of the subconscious, the role of resistance and repression, and the importance of sexuality. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the more than 30 bandits who were exterminated by the Seventh Wing, there were only about 40 bandits in the weakest group, and only 200 robbers in the strongest group.

Hans's Fifth Brigade was originally composed of four elite Roman youth troops, and there was no need to increase the actual combat experience by exterminating the bandits, so the only soldiers actually dispatched to suppress the bandits were eight detachments of the other four brigades.

The officers and men of the 7th Wing, who were seriously inexperienced in actual combat, paid a lot of casualties in the process of exterminating these bandits, and the death of 63 recruits made the joy of victory less exciting.

The cold reality made the soldiers who first stepped on the battlefield see the cruelty of war for the first time, and all Bai Feng could do was to give the soldiers who died in battle a generous pension.

At present, the Imperial Military Department dares to drop even the salaries of the soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line, and it is simply whimsical to expect them to pay the soldiers who died in battle.

In order to allow the soldiers under his command to fight to the death on the battlefield without any worries, Bai Feng, who has deep pockets, gave each fallen soldier a pension of an astonishing ten gold coins! This pension is five times the standard death pension of the Imperial Military Department!

In addition, all the gold, silver and jewelry seized by the soldiers in the process of exterminating the bandits were first handed over to the quartermaster Borg, and then distributed by Bai Feng, and the standard of unified distribution was jointly formulated by Bai Feng and all the officers.

According to this standard, all the gold and silver jewels seized were divided into 10 equal parts, of which three were paid as bonuses to the detachment that seized them, four as rewards to the officers and men of the other detachments, two as additional supplements to the families of the fallen soldiers, and one as the reserve fund of the wing for the quartermaster's safekeeping.

Although the number of gold, silver and jewels awarded to the officers of the other detachments was one more than that of the detachments that seized them, the former was seven times as large, and the latter was seven times as large in terms of the number of gold, silver and jewels each soldier received!

As for the gold, silver and jewelry that were distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers, that was what really moved the soldiers; in the eyes of the simple soldiers, Bai Feng did not even treat the robes that died in battle, so how could he treat them as living soldiers?

It was such a simple distribution criterion that made Bai Feng's status in the hearts of the soldiers of the Seventh Wing skyrocket, and it had reached a point where no one could reach it, and even the four captains such as Bonella were becoming more and more respectful to Bai Feng.

I think that when Bai Feng first arrived at the Seventh Wing, Bonella and the others had a typical attitude towards Bai Feng, they would not disobey any orders from Bai Feng, after all, Bai Feng's identity and background were there, but they would also not recognize Bai Feng as the captain of the wing.

After nearly a month of getting along, the respect of Bonella and the others has turned into respect from the heart, and this change in the depths of their hearts is reflected in their words and deeds, which Bai Feng himself can feel.

After solving the problem of the actual combat experience of the soldiers of the Seventh Wing, Bai Feng selected nearly 100 bandits who had never killed anyone from the more than 1,000 robbers captured, and these selected bandits were used to supplement the establishment of each detachment that was dissatisfied with the formation due to the death of the detachment.

In this way, Bai Feng's Seventh Wing was restored to its pre-war full strength, and the remaining 4,500 rogue young men and more than 1,000 bandit prisoners were captured, and their future fate was in the hands of Commander Giscard and Duke Gna.

Captain Cabaye, who took Bai Feng's handwritten military report and sent it to the commander of the Giscard Corps, returned as scheduled; the development of the matter was as Bai Feng expected, and the Commander of the Giscard Corps did not dare to make an arbitrary decision after checking the military report, but submitted the general report to the Duke of Gna.

As the commander of the army, Duke Gna was more than a step stronger than the commander of the Giscard army in terms of bearing and courage, and the order he gave to Bai Feng was to move the old and weak women and children from the mountains and forests out of the mountains and forests, and to add the young men and women from the rogue to the seventh wing.

At the same time, as the commander of the army and the Duke of the Empire, he issued an order to the governor of the local province to pay for the construction of a new village for these old and weak women and children, and not to levy a single silver coin on this new village for ten years!

In terms of administrative affairs, Duke Gna has properly arranged, so naturally there is no need for Bai Feng to worry about it, and in military affairs, it is Bai Feng's unshirkable responsibility, especially to add the young men in the rogue to the Seventh Wing.

It was not easy to integrate the young men and men of the Seventh Wing with the soldiers of the Seventh Wing three days ago, and it was not easy to integrate them now.

In this military meeting, in addition to the five captains and eight detachment leaders of the Seventh Wing, the five most representative leaders of the Liukou were also called in by Bai Feng; after some serious consultations, everyone worked out a brand-new integration plan.

Of the more than 4,500 young men who are outnumbered, only the 2,500 young men with the most experience will be selected to join the Seventh Wing, while the other 2,000 or so will remain in the newly built villages and towns to take care of the old, weak, women, and children in the villages and towns.

The 2,500 young men selected will form five new brigades, and their five leaders will serve as captains of each of the five new brigades: Bartloli is in charge of the 6th brigade, Bony is in charge of the 7th brigade, Vermaelen is in charge of the 8th brigade, Siqueira is in charge of the 9th brigade, and Piarridge is in charge of the 10th brigade.

After this incident, Bai Feng captured more than 1,000 robbers who were not under the orders of Duke Gna and organized them into the first and second reserve brigades of the Seventh Wing.

The newly formed five standing brigades and two reserve brigades, with a total of 3,500 officers and men, did not have suitable weapons and equipment at all; Duke Gna only gave Bai Feng an order to expand the Seventh Wing, but did not say a word about weapons and equipment.

Bai Feng, who was more familiar with the situation of the army, also knew that it was impossible to obtain weapons and equipment from Duke Gna, and it happened that there was still one day before the arrival of next month, and Bai Feng, who lacked weapons and equipment, planned to go back to Rome City to get some weapons and equipment.

In fact, there are still a batch of weapons and equipment in Bai Feng's White Spirit Ring that can be used by ultra-long pikemen, but the combat mission of the 7th Wing to Sunset Fortress is to defend the fortress, and the ultra-long pikemen are field defense troops, which are not suitable for defensive operations in the fortress.

Therefore, Bai Feng did not take out the weapons and equipment in the Bai Ling Ring for the soldiers of the Seventh Wing to use; he had to go back to Rome City to prepare weapons and equipment suitable for the soldiers of the newly built seven brigades, and help them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

The Seventh Wing, which has 12 brigades, is almost equivalent to three full formations in terms of establishment; the increase in the number of soldiers and the use of new battle formations, coupled with the equipment of sophisticated weapons and equipment, have made the Seventh Wing more and more powerful!
