Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 477: Rank system

Nord City New Town, Nord Royal Military Academy.

"get out of class is over."

"goodbye teacher."

Listening to the unanimous words of the students, the teacher Aleman nodded in satisfaction, took his personal belongings and walked out of the classroom. After the establishment of the military academy, he served as a teacher. He graduated batch after batch of outstanding students from the four legions of the kingdom, which won him a great honor.

If Aleman is the most proud student, it must be Richard Bono and Ronald, Duke of Bararia, who were canonized by His Majesty the King as Duke of Oponia and Ronald, Duke of Bararia, and they joined forces to conquer He is a well-deserved national hero who has gained a lot of wealth for the country through the alliance between the Oponians and the Bararias.

Thinking of the local specialties that the two students had sent to him, Aleman couldn't help showing a smile on his face. People passing by him were surprised at his smile, and then greeted him respectfully.

Everywhere in the Royal Military Academy, you can see the guards in military uniforms carrying flintlocks and patrolling in neat steps. Because this is the heart of the kingdom, the guards only wear standard uniforms, and there is no additional layer for defense. Arrow's chain mail, their military caps are still the original high-tube military caps. Like the guards, the city’s defense forces in Nord City did not wear chain mail—to be precise, the city’s defense forces in every city did not change their outfits. In addition to catching criminals in the city, there is only the responsibility to eliminate robbers (even if robbers are already very few, they can only be seen in those newly conquered areas).

At this moment, Aleman saw a few people walking through the school gate. With sharp eyes, he saw a middle-aged man in civilian clothes at the head, followed by a few soldiers in military uniforms, but the decorations of those soldiers It's not something that ordinary soldiers can have. He thought about it and got the answer right away-it was clearly the clothing of the Imperial Guard.

He did not go up to say hello, but watched Richard and his party walk to the principal's office, and then walked towards the next classroom without rush.

The principal of this royal military academy is the military commander Charles. This was originally supposed to be served by Richard himself, but he refused after thinking about it. He directly named Charles to the position. The latter couldn’t refuse, so he could only take the position of the principal. , So that every batch of graduated students will become his disciples.

It's impossible to become a disciple of the emperor, so can a disciple of a military commander. This is the common idea of ​​the students.

Although he was appointed as the principal of the Royal Military Academy, Charles did not stay on this campus all the time. As the Duke of Sauron, he naturally had to stay in his fief for a long time. He would only stay in Normandy for a certain period of time. De City-Charles' son has been born, Richard couldn't bear to let his son not be loved by his father for a long time.

Keke, it's far away.

Looking through the roster of the Royal Military Academy's cadets and the ranking of exam results, Richard nodded with satisfaction. There are 839 cadets in the cadet, each of whom is a qualified officer and a qualified soldier. Richard's requirement for them is to be able to be assigned to serve as commanders at all levels after graduation. Even if they have not graduated, they must be able to become qualified soldiers when they are urgently called up.

This is a rule set by him after referring to various military academies in later generations. There are various records to prove that whether it is the Whampoa Military Academy in China, the West Point Military Academy in the United States or various military schools in Europe, the students even failed to graduate during the war. Exams can also be recruited to take up arms and go to the front when necessary, even if this is an extremely wasteful behavior of talents.

Putting down the roster, Richard left the Janitor accompanying him and strolled around the campus alone. The Royal Military Academy is built in Gothic style. It looks towering and mysterious, giving people a faint sense of oppression. This reminds the students of their responsibilities and urges them to concentrate on their studies, not like the students at the Nord College next door. Talk about love.

Looking at the towering Gothic spire, Richard touched the stubborn chin, and an idea flashed through his mind, that is, to design a medal that symbolizes glory and award it to everyone in the war. Neutralize the people who have done so much to satisfy their demands for honor.

In addition, the military rank system must also be established. If his army wants to be upgraded to a modern army, military rank is indispensable. The military should not be based on identity and blood, but based on military rank. The commander commands people with low ranks, even if you are a nobleman.

Richard knew that this set of regulations would definitely arouse resistance from the nobles, but he is now in power, and all armies are obedient to him, plus the nobles have systematic restraints to stay loyal to him and will not rebel, so Richard You can make drastic reforms while you are still alive, leaving a perfect chassis for his Frederick.

...

After half a month, Richard finally designed the Medal of Honor and developed a military rank system with reference to later generations.

There are three levels of the medal. The first level (the lowest level) is the Order of the Holy Cross~lightnovelpub.net~ The model of the medal is the crucifixion of **** Christ. Anyone who has made military exploits has a chance to obtain it; The grade is the Iron Cross, and the shape of the medal is a cross with a wide upper and a narrow cross (refer to the German Iron Cross), but a small double-headed eagle is engraved in the center of the cross. This medal can only be obtained by those who have made great contributions; The third level is the eagle medal. Its whole body is a double-headed eagle made of gold with spread wings. Only those who have made great contributions can obtain it. It is like leading the army to conquer a country, so it is very scarce.

The military rank system is much more complicated. The soldiers in the guard units in each city are all ranks of private soldiers. The line infantry of the main battle regiment is awarded the rank of superior soldier, the grenadier is awarded the rank of corporal, and the imperial guard in the palace is the superior. The rank of sergeant (the sergeant between the corporal and the sergeant is cancelled).

Among the basic-level officers, there are newly established second lieutenant squad leaders (a group of six people), lieutenant platoon leaders (a platoon of thirty people), deputy company commanders of captains (the original company commanding deputy), and company commanders of lieutenants (that is, the original company commander). At the company level and above, the deputy commander of the brigade is a major, the commander of the brigade is a lieutenant colonel, the deputy commander of the brigade above the first level is a colonel, and the commander is a major colonel.

And above the regimental commander level are the brigade and army. The brigade-level deputy commander is awarded the rank of major general, the brigade-level commander is awarded the rank of lieutenant general; the deputy commander of the military department is awarded the rank of general, and the military commander is Granted the rank of general, and in the staff headquarters established by the military department, all staff officers with the army are awarded the rank of colonel.
