There are many differences between the ancient army and the modern army.

There is a big difference between the two, that is, the modern army will pay attention to the ideological education of generals.

Su Cheng decided to carry out ideological education for all the soldiers of the Michael Knights and instill patriotism in them.

Simply put, it is to let the generals have faith.

Let the generals of the Michael Knights no longer just fight for money and food, but also for other more noble things.

Of course, Su Cheng also knows about patriotic education. Just like the strengthening of internal affairs requirements, it cannot be accomplished overnight, and it has to be done slowly.

It is certainly useless to directly provide patriotic education to the soldiers who are basically illiterate and tell them the importance of patriotism.

Therefore, Su Cheng plans to increase the sense of belonging and honor of the generals, so that they can be proud of their country and that they are Britannias, and wait until the generals have a clearer understanding of their country. After I am proud of being a Britanian, I will slowly develop ideological education.

Therefore, there was a scene where Su Cheng asked Humphrey to help him recruit the bard, and the bard told the generals a story.

The easiest way to increase a person's pride in his country and his own nation is to tell him about the great things of his country.

When I was inspecting the "Story Lesson" of the generals and soldiers just now, after seeing the generals and soldiers listening to the reactions of these great men and great events in their own country, Su Cheng knew that the effects of the "Story Lesson" were slowly beginning to show their effects. .

After the generals have a certain sense of belonging and pride in their country and nation, they can formally carry out ideological education and instill patriotism in the generals.

Like the culture class, because of the serious shortage of lecturers, only the 10,000 recruits from Base 1 can take the lead in conducting the "story class". After recruiting enough lecturers, the 70,000 veterans and recruits who will be added later, They can also gradually develop "cultural lessons" and "story lessons".

Of course, the number of bards that can be recruited is overwhelmingly insufficient. Those who are fortunate enough to listen to the stories told by the bards who are best at telling stories are only a small number of them, and most of them can only go to ordinary lecturers. Story lesson.

"I plan to strengthen our army's food." Su Cheng said while rushing to Willie, who was sitting opposite him, with his stiff hands.

"Food? Commander, the food for our troops should be pretty good, right? In normal training, there are 3 meals a day, one dry meal and two porridges, and there is meat every day, although the meat is basically dry every day. Baba’s jerky is enough, but it’s already pretty good."

"The current food is indeed very good, but I think it is not enough. Eating well can develop a good physique, so I decided to further strengthen the food of our army, eat 2 dry meals a day, and increase the amount of meat. ."

"Head?"

This requires a lot of money-although Willie hasn't finished what he said, his implication is very clear.

Su Cheng, who understood Willy's implication, continued:

"I know this will cost a lot of money, so I decided to reduce the size of the Knights. I think the Michael Knights only need 120,000 people. If it is only 120,000 people, even if the food is strengthened, the logistics should be It can be sustained."

According to the central plan, the central government intends to return the Michael Knights to the original number of 200,000.

Although in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, the party with more troops is theoretically more dominant, but this is only theoretically speaking.

Sometimes too much force is not a good thing.

Especially in the era of cold weapons where communications are not developed, too much force is sometimes cumbersome.

Compared to the 1 million mobs, Su Cheng wanted more than 100,000 elite teachers.

After careful thinking and calculation, Su Cheng decided to let the Michael Knights take the route of elite soldiers. Instead of dividing 100 parts of the baggage weights among 100 soldiers, it is better to divide 100 parts of the baggage weights to 60 soldiers and divide these 60 soldiers. Develop the elite of the elite.

"120,000? Commander, I'm sorry for the arrogance. Is the 120,000 troops enough?"

"Enough. The Northern Front is different from the Rhine Front. There is a vast plain on the Rhine Front. There is no danger to defend. Therefore, the Gabriel Knights who are stationed on the Rhine Front are the strongest among the three major knights. Because of such a long and broad front, a large number of troops are required to garrison."

"But our northern front is different here. We only need to hold the Avalon Fortress. As long as we hold the Avalon Fortress and the Egerhar Corridor, the Hiran Army cannot go south."

"So the defensive pressure of our northern front is much smaller than that of other fronts, so it doesn't need too much force. The 120,000 army is enough to defend the northern front and even launch a counterattack against the Holy Hiran Empire."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng put on a half-joking tone:

"As long as the army has strict military discipline, consistent instructions, stable logistics, and only 100,000 troops, I can help the empire to smooth the North!"

"It's unlikely, Commander." Willy chuckled lightly. "The Holy Hiran Empire is a superpower. It borders the sea to the west and the grasslands to the east. The land area is about the size of our Britannia and Frankish empires. The total number of the empire, the standing army is more than 1 million. It is unlikely that the 100,000 army alone will defeat the Holy Hiran Empire. Its vast and desperate depth can bring down our logistics. ."

"What happened to the 1 million standing army? When our fourth knight order, the Uriel Knights, is formed, the standing army of our Britannia Empire can also reach more than 1 million troops."

After a few brief chats, the two returned to the topic.

"Willie, when you return to the Avalon fortress, you can help me contact the North Border General Administration in Betty City. I want to talk to the North Border General Administration about reducing the size of the Knights and strengthening the food for the troops."

Although Su Cheng is the highest person in charge of the Michael Knights and the Northern Front, he is also subject to many restrictions.

Many things in the Knights are not under Su Cheng's control.

For example, Su Cheng does not have the judicial power of the Knights in his hands, and the logistics of the Knights are not under Su Cheng's control.

The judicial power of the Michael Knights is under the control of the "Military Law Division Michael Branch", and Su Cheng does not even have the ability to reward or punish an ordinary soldier.

The logistics of the Michael Knights is under the management of the Northern Territory General Administration.

The usual tasks of the Michael Knights are collected and deployed by the North Border General Administration~lightnovelpub.net~ If Su Cheng intends to strengthen the army's food, then he must go to discuss with the North Border General Administration.

"Understood." Willie nodded firmly.

"I'll leave this to you."

After that, Su Cheng took a small wad of paper that was set aside.

"Willie, help me light up the oil lamp. Before going to bed, I plan to read this medical report. Since Gary arranged it to me, I haven't had time to read it."

"Yes."

While helping Su Cheng light the oil lamp, Willie said to Su Cheng in a puzzled tone:

"Medical report? Leader, what are you doing with this."

"Because when I inspected the Avalon Fortress last time, I was very concerned about one thing. So after the incident, I asked Gary to go to the military doctor's office to help me sort out the sickness and treatment records of the soldiers. "

Although the 3rd Army Commander Gary was tall, he was actually a very careful person, very good at doing this kind of civilian work, so this kind of work is most suitable for him to do.

After that, Su Cheng opened the medical report in his hand.

After scanning the words of the medical report at a glance, Su Cheng's brows gradually frowned.

"... As expected."

After reading the medical report in his hand, Su Cheng sighed lightly, and then passed the report in his hand to Willy.

"Willie, take a look at the data on this. The general sickness record on it is horrible."

Su Cheng handed the medical report to Willie and continued:

"It seems that in addition to talking to the people of the Northern Territory General Administration about food, we must also talk to him about this aspect... At the same time, in the daily cultural classes in the military, we must also join in. Medical knowledge."
