At this time, Willie said, "the 10000 recruits recruited in phase 1 are very good in both mental outlook and physical quality."

"Well, it's all good."

The central government plans to recruit 10000 soldiers in 13 periods, and strive to recruit 130000 new soldiers before the end of the summer of 291, so as to make the Michael Knights return to 200000.

The 10000 recruits recruited in phase 1 were taken to base 1 from Avalon fortress and incorporated into Dale's 4th Army.

Thanks to these 10000 recruits, Dale's fourth army is finally full. It is a real army. It is no longer the disabled army with only 10000 people.

Su Cheng arrived at base 1 this afternoon and plans to take a brief look at the training of 10000 recruits at base 1.

Willie, as deputy commander, and dale, as commander of the Fourth Army, also accompanied the inspection of 10000 recruits of the Fourth Army.

On the way from pandragon to the north, when thinking about how to rebuild the Michael Knight order to complete the task of the central government, Su Cheng had the idea of improving the training methods of the Knight Order and further improving the combat power of the knight order.

How to practice the sword, how to practice the gun, how to practice the bow... These combat skills. In thousands of years of fighting, the British army has long summarized a set of mature and most appropriate training methods in this era.

Therefore, Su Cheng does not intend to improve the training methods of these combat skills.

Su Cheng plans to focus on improving the Discipline Training of the army.

Su Cheng decided to pay close attention to the discipline of Michael knights.

Whether before or after coming to this different world, Su Cheng likes reading all kinds of war books and history books. There are also several war books on the market of this different world, but the level of war books on the market of this different world is not comparable to that of the earth.

After reading a lot of military and history books, Su Cheng came to a conclusion: there are four most important things in an army: logistics, intelligence, discipline and morale.

Discipline determines the lower limit of an army's combat effectiveness, and morale determines the upper limit of an army's combat effectiveness.

As long as these four things are guaranteed, even if the leader is a mediocre general, he can win the war.

Su Cheng's goal is to build the Michael Knights into an elite division that can still win every battle even if it is commanded by a mentally retarded person!

The Discipline Training of the British army is not bad, but there is still much room for improvement.

For example, the British army had no strict requirements on standing posture, queue and housekeeping.

For a long time, the standing posture requirements of the British army only required to stand straight and the queue to be a little neat, not to mention the requirements of internal affairs, which is basically equal to nothing.

Base 1 now has not only the 10000 new recruits, but also some veterans.

When inspecting the training of recruits this afternoon, Su Cheng also paid a special visit to the Veterans' tents.

To be honest, it's terrible.

The quilt was kneaded like pickled cabbage, and there was a strange smell in it.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the discipline of Michael Knight order, Su Cheng added many abnormal internal affairs requirements to the daily life of the army.

Whether the discipline of the army is strict or not is often reflected in some small daily things.

Su Cheng asked that from now on, all the generals and soldiers of the Michael knight regiment are forbidden to speak during dinner, everyone's quilt should be folded, armor, boots, swords, spears and other weapons should be polished so that they can shine a human figure, and everyone's tent should be clean, even the Emperor's majesty is proud of it, and is willing to sleep in this tent.

These internal affairs requirements seem to be very formalistic, which seems to be of no use to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army, but they actually have a deep meaning.

The purpose of sorting out internal affairs, which seems to be repeated and mechanical, is to cultivate the discipline and integrity of generals and soldiers, and imperceptibly instill the concept of absolute obedience into generals and soldiers. From every detail to repeatedly strengthen the soldiers' awareness, let the soldiers know what obedience is.

You can't even do such seemingly indifferent things as ordering you to polish the head of the gun. Can you perform the combat task well as soon as the war begins?

From another point of view, these stringent internal requirements can also enhance the sense of honor of the generals and soldiers.

Looking at the tents that are even more neat and clean than their own homes, and the armor and weapons that are so bright that they can reflect people's shadow, the generals will have a little sense of honor and improve the morale of the troops to a certain extent.

At the same time, these endless and harsh internal affairs requirements can also reduce the surplus energy of the generals to a certain extent, which is the so-called "soldiers can't be idle".

In addition to these abnormal internal affairs requirements, Su Cheng also added many other items and terms for training the discipline of the army.

For example, they have joined the training of standing posture and standing in line, and the soldiers must say hello to the officers when they see them, so as to strengthen the concept of superiors and subordinates.

The training of standing posture and standing queue is not only beneficial to the Discipline Training of the army, but also to the improvement of combat effectiveness.

In the era of cold weapons, formation is very important. A neat queue is naturally conducive to the formation of formation and improve combat effectiveness.

The reason why we want to strengthen the concept of superiors and subordinates is to strengthen the idea that generals and soldiers obey their superiors.

At the same time, it also helps to make soldiers fear their own officers more than the enemy.

Making the generals fear the officers more than the enemy can not only make the generals fight more fiercely, but also further strengthen the discipline of the army.

Su Cheng does not expect to train the Michael Knights into the modern army of the earth. It is absolutely impossible to train into a modern army based on the productivity of this era.

However, although it is impossible to train as a modern army, Su Cheng thinks there is still a way to get close to the modern army and let the Michael Knights slowly start to have some shadow of the modern army.

However, strengthening the discipline of the troops - this is only one of the key points of Su Cheng's improvement of the Knights' training method.

Another improvement focus of Su Cheng is the addition of cultural training for the army.

Whether in the cold weapon era of the earth or in this strange world, they are particularly fond of recruiting simple villagers to March.

Because the villagers are basically illiterate and dumb, they are particularly good at management and command.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, soldiers do not need any culture, and generals do not need any high-quality soldiers.

Su Cheng himself agrees with this view. In the era of cold weapons, there is no need for highly educated soldiers. It doesn't matter that all the soldiers are illiterate. Anyway, they only need to understand one idea: military orders are like mountains. They only need to know one iron rule: if an order is given, they will swear to death to complete the order. As long as they understand this idea and iron rule, That's all right. This unit can be pulled out to carry out operations, and its combat effectiveness will not be too low.

After all, unlike the modern earth with high-tech weapons, in the era of cold weapons, guns, swords, bows and crossbows, which need any high-cultural soldiers to use.

However, although the soldiers do not need any culture, the generals do.

No matter how the times change, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, the generals who are responsible for commanding and managing soldiers to fight definitely need a certain culture.

When participating in the rescue war of Lunde Kingdom and the "Xia Feng" offensive, Su Cheng had found that the average cultural quality of grass-roots military officers, that is, leaders 10, 100 and 1000, was so low that it was worrying.

Knights are senior military officers of the britannian Empire, and their selection is extremely strict. Even if they want to become the lowest Xingui knights, they also need to have the command ability to command troops of 5000 or more.

The cultural quality of those who have the command ability to command troops of 5000 or more will certainly not be too low.

In the history of the British Empire, there was no one who was completely illiterate but became a knight.

People who can become knights are often people with good family background, such as aristocratic origin, merchant origin and rich peasant origin.

Although there were many knights who came from poor families and didn't know one, they were only [once illiterate]. In the process of joining the army, they gradually learned by themselves through various channels. When they became knights, they were no longer illiterate.

Illiterate knights from beginning to end have never appeared in the history of the Empire.

Therefore, the quality of knights who are senior military officers of the Empire has always been high. Su Cheng has seen many knights in the rescue war of Lunde Kingdom and the "Xia Feng" offensive. So far, Su Cheng has not seen a knight with worrying ability. Each knight has good talent and quality.

Compared with the high-quality knights, the quality of those captains, who are grass-roots officers of the Empire, is somewhat miserable.

Many captains are completely illiterate. They can't even write their own names.

If they can't understand a word, they can't even expect them to understand the battle map.

Not only can't read words, many team leaders can't even calculate within 100.

During the rescue war of Lunde Kingdom and the "Xia Feng" offensive, Su Cheng also met some very top-notch captains. He didn't even understand how to read the watch. He stuffed them a pocket watch and they couldn't understand what time it was now.

What's more, these captains who can't even read the watch are still captains Qian! Manage and command 1000 team leaders!

Since this incident, Su Cheng has had a very intuitive and pessimistic understanding of the quality of grass-roots military officers.

As a grass-roots officer of the army, he can't understand the time, the battle map and the warrant. What a shame!

Therefore, after Su Cheng arrived in Betty City, before the reception was over, he impatiently asked Humphrey to help him recruit a large group of teachers who can teach some basic knowledge. At the same time, he also asked Humphrey to help him organize people to rush out a batch of simple textbooks for generals.

Su Cheng needs a large number of teachers to help him set up cultural courses in the army, teach soldiers all kinds of basic cultural knowledge, and teach them literacy, arithmetic and other basic cultural knowledge.

After the training during the day, both soldiers and captains need to take "evening classes" together to receive cultural training.

These soldiers are future captains and even future knights, so they also need to receive cultural training together.

Because of the tight time, Humphrey couldn't help Su Cheng find enough teachers and enough textbooks for all the generals of the Michael knights to carry out cultural training. Therefore, only the 10000 recruits of base 1 have cultural courses, and the veterans haven't officially carried out cultural training.

However, when enough teachers are recruited in the future, veterans can gradually carry out cultural training.

Besides asking Humphrey to help him recruit teachers, Su Cheng also asked Humphrey to help him recruit enough bards.

After the culture class every night, Su Cheng needs these bards to tell stories to the soldiers.

The reason why these bards were recruited to give the soldiers a "story class" is not to relax the soldiers.

The purpose of the "story class" is to improve the sense of belonging and pride of the soldiers. By telling all kinds of great men and deeds in the history of the British Empire, the soldiers can be proud of their motherland and be proud of being British.

In short, "story class" is set up to pave the way for future patriotic education.
