Roman Empire of Total War

Only a woman will feel happy. No man is happy, because men are related to freedom, and in men's earthly life, he is always subject to some form of restraint.

——Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

Cunningham, who was busy working on the strengthening plan of the Eastern Legion, came to Baifeng’s military account shortly after Luculus’ second departure. This strengthened plan was revised several times. , But Cunningham has been busy working for more than half a month.

"General, the revised strengthening plan takes the actual situation of the five Eastern legions as the premise, and carries out targeted strengthening to them respectively; among them, the fifth Eastern Legion with the weakest strength, the first and second The Eastern Legion is relatively better."

Bai Feng leaned slightly on the chair, his right hand supported his forehead, and his left index finger lightly tapped on the table in front of him. To Cunningham, who stood by Bi Gongbijing in the military account: "Well, talk about your specific strengthening plan. "

"The specific reinforcement plan is this: Fifty squadron-level officers are recruited from Yulin Wing, 500 veterans and 500 well-performing recruits from each of the other six standing legions and the Jagged Guards are formed to strengthen. The elite backbone of the fighting power of the Eastern Legion."

"There are not many veterans in the standing legion and the Jagged Guards. If 500 veterans are taken away at once, their combat effectiveness will be affected; at the cost of weakening the combat effectiveness of the seven armies, the combat effectiveness of the five Eastern legions will be strengthened. It's a shame."

"This..." Cunningham, who responded very fast, revised the plan again after a little pondering: "You can reduce the ratio of the troops from the standing legion and the Jagged Guard, the ratio of new and veteran soldiers from five to five to seven to three, This will not affect their combat effectiveness."

"If the three hundred veterans are transferred, it should not have too much impact on the standing legion and the Jagged Guard, I think it is feasible."

After seeing that his new proposal was approved by Bai Feng, Cunningham, who was determined in his heart, continued the plan just now: "This batch of 7,000 soldiers drawn from various legions will be divided into five units of the same proportion of new and veteran soldiers, but of different sizes. , Join the five Eastern Legions respectively."

"Among them, the largest number of troops consisting of two thousand soldiers will be disbanded and merged into General Luke's Fifth Eastern Regiment, and the smallest number of troops consisting of two thousand soldiers will be disbanded and merged into Etiu respectively General Sis and General Gabitus’ Legion."

"Furthermore, the five Eastern Legions also need to transfer some of their original soldiers to the standing army and the Jagged Guard in the form of recruits; the five Eastern Legions after the reorganization, each of the Legions will maintain the standard full manning establishment ."

After listening carefully to Cunningham’s strengthening plan, Bai Feng, who is satisfied with the overall plan, still feels that this plan still has some flaws: "Cunningham, using the soldiers of the Eastern Legion to supplement the standing legion and the Jagged Guards, is a good idea. It is not feasible."

Although what I just said is just a part of the whole strengthening plan, what Cunningham did not expect was that the most insignificant part of it caused Bai Feng's attention and was even rejected by Bai Feng himself.

Faced with Cunning's puzzled eyes, Bai Feng felt helpless and had to sigh in his heart; the extremely talented and resourceful Cunningham, spent too long in the small world of the wind thieves. As a result, his vision has become narrow.

In order not to hurt Cunningham’s self-esteem, Bai Feng had to explain euphemistically: "The soldiers of the Eastern Legion are all ordinary young men with empty blood; their qualities and foundations are not very good, compared with the military department. Recruited recruits have a certain gap."

"The six standing legions and the Iron-Blood Guards are our most important combat forces at present. It is very important to keep them strong. Seven thousand soldiers are not a small number. We can pass the Duke of Gehna and ask the military department. Replenish soldiers."

Bai Feng's words are so plain and easy to understand. If Cunningham can't understand it again, he won't deserve to be valued by Bai Feng; Cunningham, who has come to understand, is both admirable and grateful for Bai Feng who deliberately protects his self-esteem. .

However, like Bai Feng, Cunningham did not like to put his feelings on his mouth; with a little adjustment, he suppressed the admiration and gratitude in his heart and made suggestions for Bai Feng as a staff and think tank:

"If we can ask for 7,000 new recruits from the military department, then the extra 7,000 soldiers from the Eastern Army can supplement General Luke’s fifth Eastern Army to the full, on the other hand, they can use the remaining soldiers The reconstruction of the newly regained urban defense forces of the two provinces."

Rebuilding the city defense army of Lyon and Grenoble with the five thousand soldiers who are not suitable as regular troops in the five Eastern Legions; this is a good note. Even Bai Feng sitting in the coach’s seat is in front of him Yiliang sat upright.

"This is a good idea." After glancing at Cunningham appreciatively, Bai Feng approved his plan: "It is precisely the province of Lyon and the province of Grenoble that urgently needs to rebuild the city defense army. Ordinary youth is more suitable."

"Generals, Lyon and Grenoble are different from the Broyansong and Toulon provinces that we recovered earlier. These two provinces are too close to the sunset fort; even if we can recover Mengdan in the future Province, we still need to strengthen our military in these two provinces."

"I think, instead of dividing the army and stationing in these two provinces in the future, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to rebuild the city defense forces in these two provinces and directly build two strong city defense forces for these two provinces; this will focus our efforts on the orc army. It’s all good without any harm."

As Cunningham said, after regaining the four provinces that were captured by the orc army, Bai Feng's most worrying is the current situation of his army's scattered forces; the imperial army, which is far away from the orcs, can only defeat the orcs. Rely on the advantages of quantity and weapons.

However, the embarrassment of the two front-line operations of the empire and the main forces of the various legions was hit hard, forcing the empire to take tentative counterattacks to regain those occupied provinces; otherwise, how could Bai Feng’s requests be approved by Charles the Great What?

The key now is that the extremely high-risk tentative offensive has achieved great success. The problem facing Bai Feng has changed from how to avoid confrontation with the main force of the orc army, and how to defend the recovered lines. province.

Undoubtedly, this new proposal by Cunningham cannot fundamentally solve the difficulties facing Bai Feng, but it can alleviate the dilemma of the lack of military strength of Bai Feng’s army; moreover, the formation of a large number of urban defense forces is also beneficial to Bai Feng’s control of the province. harmless.

In view of this, Bai Feng, who has a decision in his heart, ordered Cunningham: "Cunningham, give you three days to hand over your strengthening plan with Etius; after that, you are responsible for five Thousands of Eastern Corps soldiers rebuilt the urban defense forces of the two provinces."

Sudden happiness hit Cunningham's head like this; Cunningham, who thought he would never have the opportunity to have close contact with the army in his life, tried to suppress his excitement, but he was shaken by him His hands were exposed.

Smiling Bai Feng, after Cunningham adjusted his emotions, just wanted to talk to him specifically about the city's defense force; Cunningham, who had calmed down, walked to the center of the military account and solemnly placed a single knee against Bai Feng Kneeled and swore: "Last general, swear to allegiance to the general!"
