"Your Majesty, how is it?"
After Ge Zewen came back, Su Cheng asked Ge Zewen.
"It's really... amazing..." Ge Zewen sighed with emotion, "I never thought that I would see an ordinary soldier holding a book and reading there one day."
"Me too." At this time, Jacob, who was standing next to Su Cheng, added with a wry smile, "It's amazing, even ordinary soldiers have the ability to read."
After inspecting the tents where the generals lived, Gozewen told Su Cheng that he wanted to see the training of the soldiers of the Michael Knights.
Naturally, Su Cheng readily agreed to Ge Zewen's request.
After all, there is no other option except consent.
After following Su Cheng to the training ground of the Michael Knights soldiers, and seeing the soldiers training, Ge Zewen and others were once again shocked by the scene in front of them.
Ge Zewen and others finally saw with their own eyes the newly improved stance of Su Cheng mentioned in the report sent back from the Northern Territory Administration.
After arriving at the training ground, Ge Zewen and others first saw a squadron practicing their military stance.
Looking at the standing posture of the soldiers of the Michael Knights, Ge Zewen and others couldn't help but marvel.
After Su Cheng's improvements, the soldiers' standing postures indeed looked much better, and they felt full of strength.
While Ge Zewen and others were admiring the squadron's stance training, Su Cheng was also explaining to Ge Zewen and others that after his improvements, the current stance was not only beautiful, but also
The training of soldiers' willpower and physical strength is also of great benefit.
Ge Zewen and Gale, father and son, were dubious about Su Cheng's words and decided to give it a try themselves.
The father and son tried the military posture.
As a result, not long after they stood, the two of them began to feel their calves trembling, their soles and waists aching, and sweat pouring out continuously.
The first person who couldn't hold on was Ge Zewen, who was already an old man.
Ge Zewen couldn't hold on for even 10 minutes before he couldn't stand it anymore.
And Gale wasn't much better.
Gale probably only held on for more than ten minutes, then he couldn't hold on any longer and declared that he couldn't survive.
After experiencing it for themselves, Ge Zewen and Gale believed Su Cheng's words. Practicing such a stance can really strengthen your willpower and physical strength.
Su Cheng also introduced to Ge Zewen and others: Since he took over the Knights of Michael, he has paid great attention to the soldiers' standing training, walking training, physical training and discipline training.
Because when a war actually breaks out, especially in a field battle, there will be very little time for the two armies to actually fight each other.
When a field battle breaks out between the two armies and they fight against each other, most of the time is actually spent integrating their formations.
It takes an hour to form a formation and 10 minutes to fight, which is the norm in the field battlefield.
Therefore, soldiers spend most of their time standing and running on the battlefield.
There is very little time to pick up the weapon in your hand and fight the enemy.
Therefore, in Su Cheng's eyes, it is very important for the soldiers to get used to standing and carrying strong physical strength.
Being accustomed to standing and possessing strong physical strength will prevent soldiers from consuming too much energy while integrating their formations.
It goes without saying how important strict discipline is to an army.
The marching training can not only exercise the soldiers' ability to form formations and charge, but also cultivate the soldiers' discipline.
The soldiers marched in an extremely orderly formation, so the discipline of this army must be very high. This is the truth that Su Cheng has always believed in.
Therefore, since Su Cheng took over the Knights of Michael, Su Cheng has increased the proportion of physical training, walking training and standing training for the soldiers, and at the same time strengthened the discipline concept of the troops.
After half a year of training, the results are outstanding.
The soldiers of the Michael Knights stood straighter than the soldiers of the other two knights.
The soldiers of the Michael Knights walked in unison, even more orderly and faster than the soldiers of the other two knights.
The discipline of the Michael Knights is extremely strict. No one dares to move without permission from the superior to rest or move.
The impact on Ge Zewen and others on the training ground was far greater than the impact on them when inspecting the tent.
Ge Zewen and others also looked at the horseshoes on the cavalry horses' hooves.
After inviting the son of the mayor of Bright Village, who had mastered the skills of making and using horseshoes, to Baidi City, he taught the blacksmiths in Baidi City how to make and use horseshoes.
Making horseshoes is actually not difficult. Blacksmiths quickly mastered the technology of making horseshoes and began large-scale production.
Now, most of the cavalry of the Knights of Michael are equipped with horseshoes.
The troops who came to the imperial capital to participate in the review happened to have all been equipped with horseshoes.
When they came to see the horseshoes installed on the war horses, Su Cheng also introduced to Ge Zewen and others: Since the horseshoes were equipped, the wear and tear of the war horses has been greatly slowed down, saving a large amount of money to purchase and train war horses, and at the same time, it will definitely
To a certain extent, the speed of the war horse and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry are enhanced.
After learning that this small horseshoe could save such a large amount of military expenses, Ge Zewen decided without thinking about it to increase the production of horseshoes so that all war horses in the empire could be equipped with horseshoes and blockade the horseshoes.
This technology must not allow other countries to master the technology of making and using horseshoes.
...
When inspecting the training ground of the Michael Knights, Gozevin's mouth never closed because of surprise.
But what shocked Ge Zewen and others the most was the fact that they saw a female soldier reading a book there during her break.
Regarding the fact that after Su Cheng took over the Knights of Michael, he negotiated with the Northern Territory General Administration and hired a large number of lecturers to give cultural classes to the generals of the Knights of Michael and teach the generals some basic cultural knowledge, Goze
Wen and others still knew about it.
Therefore, after seeing the female soldier who was reading a book, Ge Zewen couldn't help but walked over to ask the female soldier out of curiosity.
After briefly chatting with the female soldier and the other soldiers around her, Ge Zewen slowly walked back with a wry smile.
After hearing Su Cheng ask him "how", Ge Zewen thought about it and came up with only one word: amazing.
"It's really amazing." Gozevin exclaimed once again, "I didn't expect that the generals of the Michael Knights could actually read. When I asked those children just now, they all said that they were culturally literate every night.
In the course of teaching, they all have certain reading and writing skills. The Knights of Michael are really... too scary."
"Letting soldiers master reading and writing skills seems to cost money and manpower, and is of no use, but in fact this idea is very short-sighted." Su Cheng smiled at Ge Zewen, "This view is wrong.
One mistake is to only regard soldiers as soldiers."
"Soldiers will not always be soldiers. Soldiers will be future captains and future knights. Teaching knowledge to soldiers is equivalent to teaching knowledge to future officers."
"I believe no one would think that officers do not need culture, right?"
"Although the decision to open cultural classes is not very useful in the short term, it is only of little use in the short term."
"After a few years, when these soldiers who have been receiving cultural education grow up and become captains and even knights, the Michael Knights will have a large group of high-quality soldiers who are able to read and write and understand military orders.
An officer."
After listening to Su Cheng's explanation in silence, Ge Zewen, Gale, Jacob and others fell silent.
A look of thinking appeared on his face.
After a long time, Gale said seriously to his father:
"Father, I feel that it is not enough for other knights to learn the internal affairs requirements of the Michael Knights! I think that in addition to implementing the internal affairs requirements of the Michael Knights to the entire empire, the Michael Knights should also be
The daily training methods and this cultural class system will also be implemented!"
"To put it simply, we want to convert the entire empire into the Knights of Michael!"
"If all the troops in the empire follow the example of the Knights of Michael, I believe that the military strength of our Britannia Empire will definitely reach a higher level!"
"Well... he is indeed my son, and my thoughts are the same as yours..." Ge Zewen, who had always had soft eyes, had a very rare moment when his eyes sparkled with light, "If the entire empire's army is allowed to
If everyone follows the example of the Michael Knights, then the combat effectiveness of the entire empire's army will undoubtedly increase to a higher level. In this case, our Southern Cross Project can also..."
Before Ge Zewen finished speaking, he closed his mouth in time.
He looked like he said something he shouldn't have said.
The expressions of Jacob and Gale also changed suddenly at this time.
Su Cheng, Alyssa, and Ilsa looked at Ge Zewen with strange expressions.
"Project Southern Cross?" Su Cheng asked Ge Zewen doubtfully, "Your Majesty, Project Southern Cross is..."
"That...Mr. Cheng."
Ge Zewen did not respond to Su Cheng's question.
It was Jacob who responded to Su Cheng's question.
"I'm sorry, can you three forget what His Majesty just said?" Jacob said sternly to Su Cheng, Alyssa, and Ilsa, "It's not the time to tell you this yet."
"...Yeah. I understand." Su Cheng nodded, "Because I have been working too hard lately, my mind has been a little unclear recently and I always lose my memory. I have 'accidentally' given what Your Majesty just said to me.
forget."
The Southern Cross Project... what is that... Judging from the name, it seems to be some kind of military plan...
