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 its officers and soldiers.

Su Cheng decided to carry out ideological education for all the generals and soldiers of Michael Knight Order and instill patriotism into them.

In short, it is to make the soldiers have faith.

Let the generals of the Michael Knights fight not only for money and food, but also for other more noble things.

Of course, Su Cheng also knows about patriotic education. Like strengthening internal affairs requirements, it can't be achieved overnight. We have to take our time.

It must be of no use to directly carry out patriotic education for soldiers who are basically illiterate and tell them the importance of patriotism.

Therefore, Su Cheng plans to first increase the sense of belonging and honor of the generals and soldiers, so that they can be proud of their country and Britannia. After the generals and soldiers have a clear understanding of their country and are proud of their Britannia, they can slowly carry out ideological education.

That's why Su Cheng asked Humphrey to help him recruit bards and tell stories to the soldiers.

The easiest way to improve a person's pride in his country and his nation is to tell him about the great men and deeds of his country.

Just now, when inspecting the "story class" of the generals and soldiers, Su Cheng knew that the effect of the "story class" had slowly begun to show its effect after seeing the reaction of the generals and soldiers to these great men and great things in their own country.

When the generals have a certain sense of belonging and pride to their country and nation, they can officially carry out ideological education and instill patriotism into the generals.

Just like the culture class, because of the serious shortage of lecturers, only the 10000 recruits of base 1 can take the lead in carrying out "story class". After recruiting enough lecturers, the 70000 veterans and the subsequent recruits can also slowly carry out "culture class" and "story class".

Of course, the number of bards that can be recruited is overwhelmingly insufficient. Only a few people are lucky enough to listen to the stories of bards who are best at telling stories, and most of them can only take the story classes of ordinary lecturers.

"I intend to strengthen the food of our army." Su Cheng said to Willie, who was sitting opposite him, as he rushed to his frozen hands.

"Food? Commander, the food of our troops should have been very good, right? During normal training, there are three meals a day, one dry meal and two porridge, and there is meat every day. Although the meat every day is basically dry meat, it is very good. "

"The food is really good now, but I don't think it's enough. Only by eating well can I develop a good physique, so I decided to further strengthen the food of our army, eat two dry meals a day, and increase the amount of meat."

"Captain?"

It will cost a lot of money - Willie didn't finish his words, but his implication was very clear.

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

"I know it will cost a lot of money, so I decided to reduce the size of the order. I think only 120000 people are enough for the Michael order. If only 120000 people, even if the food is strengthened, the logistics should be able to support."

According to the plan of the central government, the central government plans to return the Michael knights to the original number of 200000.

Although in both the cold weapon era and the hot weapon era, the party with more troops is more dominant in theory, this is only in theory.

Sometimes too many troops are not a good thing.

Especially in the era of cold weapons with underdeveloped communication, too many troops are sometimes cumbersome.

Compared with 1 million mobs, Su Cheng wants 100000 elite teachers.

After careful thinking and calculation, Su Cheng decided to let the Michael Knights take the elite route. Instead of giving 100 pieces of baggage to 100 soldiers, he might as well give 100 pieces of baggage to 60 soldiers to cultivate the elite among the 60 soldiers.

"120000? Commander, with all due respect, will 120000 troops be enough? "

"Enough. The northern front is different from the Rhine front. There is a vast plain on the other side of the Rhine front and there is no danger to defend at all. Therefore, the military strength of the Gabriel Knights specially stationed on the Rhine front is the strongest among the three knights, because such a long and broad front requires a large number of troops. "

"But our northern front is different. We just need to keep Avalon fortress. As long as we keep Avalon fortress and eghar corridor, the Hiran army can't go south."

"Therefore, the defensive pressure of our northern front is much less than that of other fronts, so we don't need too many troops. 120000 troops are enough for us to hold the northern front and even launch a counter attack against the Holy Hiran empire."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng changed into a half joking tone:

"As long as the army has strict military discipline, consistent instructions and stable logistics, I can help the Empire wipe out the north with only 100000 troops!"

"Unlikely, captain." Willie smiled a few times, "the holy Hiram empire is a superpower. It faces the sea in the West and the grassland in the East. Its land area is almost the sum of our Britannia Empire and the Frankish empire. The standing army is more than 1 million. Relying on 100000 troops alone, it is unlikely to defeat the holy Hiram empire. Just its vast and desperate depth, Can bring down our logistics. "

"What happened to the 1 million standing army? After the formation of our fourth knights, the Knights of Uriel, our standing army of the British Empire can reach more than 1 million. "

After a brief chat, they pulled back to the subject.

"Willie, when you get back to Avalon fortress, go and help me contact the Northern Territory Department of Betty city. I want to talk to the northern territory department about reducing the size of the Knights and strengthening the food of the troops."

Although Su Cheng was the supreme leader of the Michael knights and the northern front, he was also subject to many restrictions.

Many things of the Knights are not in Su Cheng's charge.

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

The judicial power of the Michael Knights belongs to the Michael Branch of the military justice department. Su Cheng doesn't even have the ability to reward or punish an ordinary soldier.

The logistics of the Michael knights are under the control of the Northern Territory administration.

The General Administration of northern territory is responsible for raising and allocating the usual supplies of the Michael knights.

If Su Cheng intends to strengthen the food of the army, he must go to talk with the people of the northern border administration.

"Understand." Willie nodded firmly with a look on his face.

"I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, Su Cheng took a small stack of paper put aside.

"Willie, help me turn on the oil lamp. Before going to bed, I'm going to read this medical report. I haven't had time to read it since Gary sorted it out for me."

"Yes."

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

"Medical reports? Captain, what do you think this will do? "

"Because the last time I visited Avalon fortress, there was something I cared about. So afterwards, I asked Gary to go to the military doctor's office and help me sort out a record of the soldiers' illness and treatment. "

Although Gary, the commander of the third army, is tall, he is actually a very careful person and is very good at doing this kind of civilian work, so this kind of work is most suitable for him.

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

After browsing the words and sentences of the medical report at a glance, Su Cheng's eyebrows gradually frowned.

"... sure enough."

After reading the medical report in his hand, Su Cheng sighed, and then handed the report to Willie.

"Willie, look at the data on it. The illness records of the soldiers on it are terrible."

Su Cheng handed the medical report to Willie and continued:

"It seems that in addition to telling the people of the northern border administration about food, we should also tell him about this... At the same time, medical knowledge should be added to the daily cultural classes in the army."
