April 2, 345 Continental Gregorian Calendar, Farensi, Caiunescu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After half a year, Sogrand finally returned to the royal capital after a long absence. There was no better news for the Princes of Pharisee in April. Because the two men who were supposed to be in charge of the civilian work had finally returned to their posts, and there was no need to remove the Janissaries and the First Legion from the parchment scrolls that had given them a headache.

On the way back, Sogrend directly planned a counterattack against Mastar's overpass, so that ninety percent of the dragons were still in a state of inability to attend. This incident displeased Admiral Gursi, the commander of the dragoons, but Thorgrande was sure that he was now busy taking care of his children's marriage, and would not waste his precious time in trouble.

"Lu Siqing, Lan Fangte Qing, I'm glad you can come back safely." The young queen smiled and stood up from her throne.

"Your Majesty is worried." Sogrend and China said together.

"Hehe, after getting along together for so long, they have become more and more tacit." Margaret said and smiled.

"Your Majesty......" China paused for a long time, but did not say anything afterward.

"Alright, my dear teachers, there's still a lot of work to be done for you, and we'll be discussing other issues at lunch." Margaret put away her smile and waved her hand to send her courtiers to bow to their best.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Oh, by the way, Lu Siqing, I asked someone to change the direction of the opening of the door to your office."

"Oh, let Your Majesty bother." Thorgrande felt as if the queen was trying to shirk some responsibilities beforehand, but he didn't care. And then...... Ten minutes later, two voices, "boom" and "oops", were heard from the direction of the prime minister's office, and the guards watched as the young queen happily bounced out of the hall like a triumphant little fox.

"I say, Lord Luce, does Navi's hot springs have the effect of dulling the human mind? I've heard that overindulgence can also lead to sluggishness, what do you think is the reason? ”

"Admiral Sauer, you have time to talk there and talk coolly, you might as well help me remove these damn papers from my back." Thorgrande lay down at the foot of the document mountain angrily, and as soon as he pulled the door just now, he saw the small mountain of documents turning upside down towards him, and he didn't even have time to escape.

"Such a difficult task, I don't think I can solve it alone, let me help you find some helpers."

"Then you go, go and come back quickly." That being said, Saulgrand knew that Sauer would be the Yellow Crane going west - not going back.

"Thorge, what's wrong with you?" Cena was surprised to see this.

"Ginna, please help me bring the pen and ink, thank you." Sogret didn't care about his physical situation at all.

April is a crucial month for the students of the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy in Falunsi. This month will be the Graduation Hunting Ceremony, which is a ritual to determine the starting point of one's career. Relatively speaking, the results that have already been ranked in March are not so important. Because the current Prime Minister was only twenty when he graduated that year, and none of the people who came before him achieved merit that surpassed him.

In the past, the 1st, 5th, and 8th Legions, as well as the Praetorian Guard, were the most desirable legions for students. Because those units have quite good commanders, and as the main ace team, they have more opportunities to participate in large-scale actual combat, and they also have more opportunities for promotion. Of course, there are also a considerable number of people who think that life is more important will choose to join the Second Legion, but first, there are few such unenthusiastic young people in France; Second, the Second Army did not have so many vacant seats.

However, this year's most popular among students will probably be the 13th Legion. For no other reason, everyone went to the commander of the Thirteenth Legion. And the most enthusiastic about this is Xiu Yunston and others, because of their fanatical propaganda, they have also created a lot of opponents for themselves. But they don't care at all, on the one hand, these people rely on internal connections; On the other hand, the Thirteenth Legion was bound to expand, and it was estimated that more than half of the officers of the original Seventh Legion would be purged.

April 5 is the date when the traditional graduation hunting festival begins. The Phariseans organized a huge procession to the outskirts of the city, and the commanders of the various legions, a squadron of hussars of the Praetorian Guard, the queen and the prime minister, and the recent graduates, totaled about 800 people.

The participants in the hunting festival were ordered to assemble in the early hours of the morning, and before dawn, the procession had to leave the old town of Caiunescu, otherwise it would not be possible to reach the hunting grounds before noon.

Yeft led the Praetorian Hussars to clear the way, the queen and the legionnaires were in the middle of the procession, and the students walked at the end of the procession.

The crisp and mild breeze of April brings a hint of spring sweetness to your face. The clear sky, the spring triangle can still be captured by the bright-eyed in the twilight of dawn, and Venus hangs above the eastern horizon, waiting like a servant for the arrival of the daytime king.

The Phalensi procession moved in an orderly manner along the main road, and most of the people in the procession were unaffected by the early risers, and hurried on the road in good spirits and spirits. The only one who seemed languishing was the dignified Prime Minister, who yawned incessantly and dozed off on his horse intermittently.

"Lord Luce, you seem to be tired. Did you not sleep well last night? Hollin, who had arrived from Gresden, cared about his former boss.

"Yesterday, I probably only slept less than ten hours in the past three days." Thorgrande replied with his head bowed. Chenna's current official position is the commander of the Thirteenth Legion, and she has been busy with the affairs of the Legion for the past two days.

However, as the creator of the Third Legion's tradition of pranks, Carl Holling certainly wouldn't have really had such a touching conversation with Sogrend. "Ah, you've worked so hard. I know that although you and Mademoiselle Lamfonte have just developed further, you can't ignore your own body like this. It's a long time coming. ”

"What's the matter, I won't be able to meet with Chenna for more than ten minutes these days." Sogrend was still a little confused, and the reaction was a bit conditional.

"Not so much so, and though I know it is disappointing to be rejected by Mademoiselle Lamfonte, you must not indulge yourself to the point of going to someone for several days on end. Even if it is to drink to kill sorrows, it is very hurtful, let alone in this way. Holling looked at Saulgrande with sympathy.

"Zzzzzz......" Sogre fully falls asleep, while Horlin is greeted with angry glances from China and Frank Shaw.

"Be quiet, Admiral Huolin, and don't disturb Lu Siqing." Margaret spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huo Lin humbly agreed.

At the end of the ranks, the young cadets were discussing their futures.

"Alas~, it's really difficult to get a good position now, the number of legions has been reduced by half, and since Lord Luce was born, it seems that the attrition of officers has also dropped to a very low level, and our future is worrying." Showinston grumbled.

"What is there to worry about, the Praetorian Guard needs to be restored to its previous size, now it is only half of what it used to be, and Miss Lanfonte's legion will definitely be expanded. In total, there must be an increase of at least 20,000 people, so how can we be disposed of by half? Haas maintains an optimistic mood.

"That is, we and Miss Lanfonte were born and died, and with such an iron relationship, it is impossible to throw us to the local guard." Ispar agrees with Haas.

"That's hard to say." Grossling appears to be playing a role similar to that of Oscar Singled in the Third Legion.

"Do you have any inside information?" The three people in front of them suddenly became nervous.

"Think about it, why is Lord Luce so tired, it is impossible for him to waste so much time with those daily paperwork." The head of Kreyitt spoke.

"Yes," said Shoverston, who seemed to understand something, "or he would have gone to attack Mademoiselle Lanfonte at night." ”

“…………”

“…………”

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xiuyunston looked at the crowd innocently.

"I wonder why you've slipped out of the dorm in the middle of the night for the past two days, it's like this......" Haas clenched his fists, and there was a "gege" sound in his hands.

"Ah, don't use violence......"

"Let's do it together!"

"Lewd man."

"Voyeurism."

"Die!" The cries for justice have come and gone.

"This year's young people seem to be particularly energetic." Old Henry said this when he heard the noise in the cadet ranks.

After about three hours' march, the Pharians arrived at their intended camp, and the task of camping was left entirely to the young cadets, for how to quickly and effectively set up a camp was the most common thing in the army.

The Queen's Great Tent was in charge of the Praetorian Guard, so it was also the first to be completed, and as soon as it was completed, the Queen convened the Imperial Council.

"Lord Huolin, why are you so late?" Admiral Oiffi Santro asked.

"Oh, I went to the cadet and shook it around." Huo Lin replied lightly.

"You're so sympathetic to young people." Oiffi didn't hesitate to praise Huo Lin.

"There, there."

However, Sogrend, who was already sober, was the one who knew the temperament of his old subordinate best, and took revenge unceremoniously at this time, "I said, Your Excellency Hollin, it's a pity that no female student from the Non-commissioned Officer Academy can graduate this year." ”

"Yes," said Huo Lin, who was deeply struck by it, "no wonder, I didn't find it, 55555 - the beautiful spring is gone." ”

"Now that we're here, let's move on to today's topic." Margaret announced the opening of the meeting from her throne, "Lord Leus, please." ”

Thorgrande stood up and bowed to everyone, and asked first, "Your Majesty, have you seen the fold I presented to you yesterday?" ”

"I've already seen it, it's very interesting, can you tell you about it?" The queen replied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my bill is directly related to the military, so I am bringing it up here. So I will briefly state the topic, and I propose to conduct experiments in military reform. Sogrend said.

"Military reform?" The people in the hall haven't figured it out yet.

"Yes, the subject of the test is the Thirteenth Legion."

"My legion?" China asked, pointing to her nose.

So how do you do that? You should always explain the general plan. Said old Henry.

"Let me briefly say this: the number of soldiers of the 1st and 13th Army Corps remains the status quo, if I remember correctly, 18,000. 2. Rebuild the organization, which will divide the corps into four divisions, not divisions; 3,000 to 5,000 people per division. 3. The movement of the legion must be ordered by the king, and the legion carries out its daily activities in divisional units. 4. The soldiers of the regiment are full-time soldiers, and there will no longer be a situation where the entire regiment is disbanded and recuperated. These are the main four points, and I have already written down the specific details in the recital, and I will copy a copy of each of you later. ”

"Isn't this a clear attempt to set up Chinna's power?" Admiral Frank Shaw directly expressed his displeasure.

"After the reform, the power of the corps commander is indeed no longer as great as it used to be." Thorgrande admits this.

"And what do you mean?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, think about what a disaster the Legion Commander's unfettered power has caused us. It is terrible that a simple order from one person can mobilize 30,000 soldiers to disobey the king. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the size of the legion and limit the power of the corps commander, and the army can only be loyal to the country and the people. Specifically, it was the king who commanded the army, not the army who commanded the king. ”

"However, the current system has been implemented since the time of Layton the Great, and it is the rule of the ancestors." Oyifi said.

"The unreasonable rule is to change it, and I also considered that it is impossible to change it all at once, so I proposed to test the Thirteenth Legion first."

"Sogland, there must be other intentions in reducing the size of the legion, and why do you want to limit the size of the basic units of independent action to 3,000 to 5,000?" China asks a technical question.

"You are all veterans of many battles, and you should note that in a large-scale confrontation, it is already the limit for a commander to control the movement of 10,000 troops when he has a complete herald system. More often than not, the size of the troops that play a key role on the battlefield will not exceed 5,000 people. For example, in the battle of our encirclement and annihilation of the Fifth Army, the key role was played by the 2,000 men of Rael Sk-Sahar. Even if there is a large-scale battle with Mastar or Iberia in the future, the forces that can respond effectively in the first time are on this scale. Not to mention the fact that in the future the most will be endless friction on the border, in which the size of the troops of several thousand people is also the limit. In addition, I hope to maintain the number of active troops in five years, which is 100,000. Sogrend replied.

"Why? You know, there are more than 100,000 Mastar troops on the opposite side of my legion alone! Shaw grumbled.

"Eighty percent of the soldiers in Mastar's Northern Army are in a state of cantonment at ordinary times, otherwise she can't support so many troops, and Mastar's current civil war will end one day, and the army will drop by about forty percent. And our country is even less powerful than Mastar, our population is just over half of it, we have no port, no large-scale handicrafts and commerce except for Parello. Taxes are only one-fifth of Mastar's, and the vast majority come from agriculture, which means we can't afford to spare too much labor to expand our army. The size of the standing army of the Farency must be reduced to 100,000, and of course we require every soldier to be a captain in wartime, you see. ”

"In other words, if we need to, we can immediately expand to 500,000 people?" Horlin's statement.

"What do you think, so to speak, Marshal Henry?" Sogrand now needs an authoritative conclusion.

"It's hard to say, your idea makes sense, let's try it first."

"I am against it, this will have a bad effect on the Thirteenth Legion and even other legions. And according to the organization of Lord Leus, where are we going to find so many commanders? "Shaw's inclination is clear.

"Commanders are a real problem, and if you lack the ability, it's very likely that things will be messed up and we won't see the benefits we deserve." Oyifi was obviously a little moved.

"With the new establishment, there will be new training methods, new organizational forms, and new tactical implementation, all of which are problems." Huo Lin said, but he was sure that his former boss would definitely have a way.

"I approve of this experiment," said Chenna, who was the person concerned, decisively, "and ask Your Majesty to give your ministers the power to mobilize the Thirteenth Legion, and in four months, our Thirteenth Legion can confront the First Legion to verify the result?" ”

Chyna's tone was full of anticipation and confidence, and she received a grateful look from Sogrend. Oiffie was also intrigued, he did not doubt Chenna's ability, but he would never admit that his legion would lose to a new legion like the Thirteenth Legion.

"Why is it the First Legion, our Third Legion is willing to be a sparring partner." Huo Lin offered unbelievable hospitality.

"No need, I still have a bottom on the strength of my legion, we can't defeat the third legion." China politely replied.

"What's that reasoning?" Shaw's subtext is, isn't the Eighth Army inferior to the Third Army?

"Because," China paused, "only the soldiers of the Third Legion are literate." ”

“？！” Except for Sogrand and Hollin, all the staff are incomprehensible.
