Chapter 446: Military Rank
Seeing the expressions of recognition on everyone's faces, Wei Zheng continued: "Having said that, here, Ben Shuai has to mention another matter, that is, the rank ...... of officers and officers at all levels" "So far, there is only one way for us to distinguish officers at all levels, and that is to recognize people and ......."
"On the battlefield, soldiers only know the generals they know. As for those generals who don't know, even if they walk in front of the general, they don't know it, let alone listen to the general's orders......"
"And this brings us a very big drawback to command the operation......
"When you really go to the battlefield, once the troops are scattered, the entire participating troops will fall into a dangerous situation where they can't find their generals and won't be able to find their soldiers......
Because of this, the commander decided to use a method to directly express the ranks of officers and officers at all levels, and to express some intuitive things...... And this method is what Ben Shuai said next...... the military rank system"
"Rank ......" Faced with this idea that they had never heard of, everyone's faces showed a trace of incomprehension.
Among the three members of the Standing Committee from the army, Zhao Yun, who couldn't bear to be in a hurry, asked directly.
"Marshal, what is the rank system......
Facing everyone's gaze at him, Wei Zheng explained without the slightest pause......
"The so-called military rank system is a system that replaces everyone's rank......"
"In the official army, there are more than a dozen ranks of officers. What's more, in the middle of these ranks, there are also various so-called general titles, which are very confusing......"
"And Ben Shuai then came to talk about the military rank system that everyone talked about. It will be a much clearer one. Simpler. More direct ...... It only takes a glance to see the new system of rank and status......"
"In the military rank system of this commander, the officers and men of the whole army are divided into four levels, and the fourteenth level ......"
"The four ranks are the lowest level of officers, captain-level officers, colonel-level officers, and general-level officers......"
"Ordinary soldiers are divided into four levels, which are privates. Corporal, sergeant, sergeant......"
"All the recruits of the local garrisons are all in the rank of private...... After serving in the army for more than a year, he was promoted to corporal...... If you can make meritorious service on the battlefield, or if you have been a soldier for three years, you will be automatically promoted to sergeant. In all local garrisons, a sergeant can serve as a squad leader at the bottom...... In addition to this, a sergeant wants to be promoted to sergeant, in addition to military merits. That's five years of military service......"
"However, if an ordinary soldier wants to become a lieutenant officer. then you must rely on military merit ......"
"However, no matter how high the military merits, ordinary officers can only be promoted to captains and officers......"
"After passing the rank of captain, you must go through the rotation training of martial arts before you can be promoted to a colonel-level officer, or even further promoted to a general-level officer, and become a real general......"
"In addition to the rank of ordinary officers, the rank of lieutenant officers includes the three levels of ensign, lieutenant, and captain......"
"There are three types of officers: major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel...... General-level officers include major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals. As for the last level, it is the marshal who is personally appointed by the marshal himself......"
"In all local garrisons, the sergeant served as the squad leader, and the sergeant served as the platoon leader,"
"The second lieutenant served as an officer of the rank of deputy company commander, and the lieutenant served as a company commander and a train officer...... The captain served as the deputy battalion commander officer of the first rank, the major served as the battalion commander of the first rank, the lieutenant colonel served as the regiment commander of the first rank, and the colonel served as the commander of the garrison division of the first rank. In addition, the deputy position of the head of the garrison regiment was all awarded the rank of major. The deputy commander of the garrison division is awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel in all ......"
"As for the field units of the Haw Par Army, according to the requirements, in terms of rank, all of them must be upgraded by one level."
"The ordinary officers and men in the field units of the Haw Par Army are all selected from the garrison to be good officers with the rank of corporal and above, including the sergeant squad leader in the garrison, and after arriving in the field troops, they can only be ordinary soldiers......"
"In the field troops, the squad leader can only be a sergeant with the rank of sergeant to serve as a ......"
"The platoon commander has the rank of second lieutenant, the deputy company commander has the rank of lieutenant, the company commander has the rank of captain, the deputy battalion commander has the rank of major, the battalion commander, the deputy regiment commander, the regimental chief of staff, all have the rank of lieutenant colonel, the regiment commander, the deputy division commander, the division chief of staff, all have the rank of colonel. Division commanders, deputy army commanders, and army chiefs of staff all hold the rank of major general...... As for the army commander, the commander of the garrison, and the deputy of the field army, all of them have the rank of lieutenant general...... Chief of the General Staff, the chief of the field army, is hung with the rank of general. ”
"In other words, so far we have only one general and two lieutenant generals in the Haw Par Army...... They are General Sun Chengzong, Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Wang Feng, Deputy Commander of the Haw Par Army Field Army, and Lieutenant General Zhao Yun, Commander of the Local Garrison of the Haw Par Army......"
In the face of the silence that slowly appeared on everyone's faces, they were shocked and puzzled...... With all kinds of complicated expressions, Wei Zheng directly took out the epaulettes he designed according to later generations with slight changes.
After distributing them to everyone in turn, Wei Zheng said with a stern face......
"This is the epaulettes and corresponding military ranks designed by Ben Shuai. In addition, in order to make it more convenient to wear epaulettes, the commander also designed a military uniform that was more suitable for soldiers to train and fight...... Let's see if there is anything that needs to be changed, and if there is anything that needs to be changed, we will put it forward, and Ben Shuai will make changes immediately......"
Whether it is a military rank or an epaulettes, for Zhao Yun and others, it is the first contact.
Therefore, under Wei Zheng's gaze, no one spoke after a full tea time. Everyone looked at the unfamiliar epaulettes and ranks in their hands and looked thoughtful......
At this time, Sun Chengzong, who knew more about the official and military system than anyone else and was very aware of the drawbacks, spoke.
"Marshal, I've never heard of your rank and epaulettes before. However, after listening to what you have just explained. I don't dare say anything else. However, one thing I can be sure of is that the new system of military ranks and epaulettes is definitely better than the system used by the officers and armies. At the very least, it can be guaranteed that there will be no dangerous situation on the chaotic battlefield where soldiers cannot find generals, and soldiers will not be found......"
"In addition to this, the rank of the officer is put out with an epaulette table and hung on the shoulder. It can also increase the sense of honor of soldiers, especially officers, on a certain level......"
"So I fully support the reform of the military system in the army right away......"
"I also support ...... Not only support, but now I want a set of military uniforms designed by you to wear on your body......"
"I also support military reform, the sooner the better...... In this way, our army will become more and more regular, more and more orderly......" (to be continued......
