"Everyone, as the influence of the Royal Court continues to expand, and as the future battlefields and types of enemies become increasingly complex, the current military structure is no longer able to cope with the possibility of high-intensity wars, so changes must be made!"
In the war hall of the Privy Council, Soshyan's rich voice echoed above the heads of all war commanders, civilian armed groups, tribal bishops and military representatives of the barbarian kingdom.
"As the main war force of the Royal Court, the Phoenix Army currently has four main problems. One is that it is miscellaneous. The Phoenix Army of the Royal Court now mainly consists of Taoist warriors, guardian militia, semi-standing army, and volunteers from the barbarian country.
There are also various exiles, and among them are only Path warriors. In addition to Shadow Ghost and Shining Spear, there are eight Paths, and these eight Paths are divided into seventeen shrines.
To be honest, if we gather warriors from various shrines together, just by looking at the color scheme, we would think we are a clown troupe."
Soshyan's words brought smiles to the faces of some commanders.
"The confusion also leads to the second problem, chaos. The current organization and structure of the Phoenix Army is very chaotic. Dear bishops, I don't have any opinions on the shrine. It's just that on the battlefield, a shrine will often choose to act collectively, and
Only obeying the command of the Bishop of the Shrine, which is equivalent to being completely independent from the existing chain of command of the Phoenix Army. I have no doubts about your ability and loyalty, but I must also admit that the battlefield is full of surprises. Once you all
If any one of the bishops is killed in battle, it means that the lone general loses the ability to command and deploy the entire shrine, which may lead to disastrous consequences in a certain war. As the proverb goes, if you lose it,
A horseshoe breaks a war horse, breaks a war horse, loses a king, loses a king, loses a war, loses a war, destroys an empire, war cannot tolerate any omissions and mistakes.
Sloppy! In addition, due to its high degree of uncertainty and frequent changes in personnel, the Guardian Militia is not suitable for use as a Phoenix Army combat force."
When the royal court's military force was originally designed, the militia actually had a separate establishment. However, considering that the royal court had a small population at the time and the available armed forces were limited, the militia was temporarily included in the Phoenix Army's chain of command.
middle.
In fact, most of the main combat units in Arkworld are also Guardian Militia, but most of Ark's wars are self-defense wars, and they often rely on a small number of elite warriors when attacking. Therefore, the shortcomings of Guardian Militia are not obvious in Arkworld, but
It's different here in Wangting.
First of all, as the name suggests, the Guardian Militia is essentially a militia and is temporary in nature. The first stereotype that Soshyan broke after being in contact with Ada for so long was that Ada is very warlike. But in fact, except for the residents of Comoros,
, As far as he knew, the vast majority of Aida were very resistant to war. It didn't mean that they were peace-loving or anything like that, but they were very resistant to their delicate inner world being contaminated by the violence and cruelty of war, including the God of War.
Kain is also regarded as "unknown" by most of the Craftworld and Savage Kingdom, so although many Ada have to participate in the battle to protect their homeland, as soon as the war is over, they will immediately remove their weapons and equipment, and even choose to completely
Forget the experience in the war and return to the peaceful path you have chosen.
This may be nothing in the Ark World, but in principle, the Royal Court does not belong to any Ada's "hometown". Except for the few Ark Worlds who joined the Royal Court, most of the residents have migrated from other areas. The vast majority of people actually come to the Royal Court to escape war, violence and misfortune. Although they are not selfish and narrow-minded, and know that peace must be defended with force, it does not mean that they will choose to become militiamen every time a war comes, especially After the royal court's population and military strength increased rapidly, even Ada would have the unmistakable idea of "leaving the war to more professional and suitable people."
So this caused the Royal Court's militia system to quickly fall into chaos. Because the Royal Court did not compulsorily recruit soldiers, every battle required open recruitment in advance, but the people who applied each time would be slightly different from the last time. Not only the participants Different, the number will be different. This dynamic change of troops has caused great troubles and troubles to the distribution of the Privy Council and the establishment of the chain of command. Moreover, the commanders have to face unfamiliar soldiers every time and will give their orders. Caused quite a lot of obstacles.
"Third, the authority is unclear. This is due to Gu's laziness. Now, the bishops in each department have overlapping commands. The chain of command is all established through temporary appointment. It cannot withstand the test of large-scale wars. Moreover, air power and ground vehicles The coordination ability of the units is insufficient. Communication and coordination between the infantry and the Netherworld structure requires 2-3 processes, resulting in a large amount of ineffective communication and misinformation. The coordination ability of each unit is relatively weak and highly dependent on the prophet. Once disturbed, it is easy to lead to the loss of command. The chain is broken, and fourth, there are vacancies, a serious shortage of numbers and combat power."
After a moment of pause, Soshyan, who was wearing a robe and no mask on the throne, glanced at the Aida below, looking at the expressions of contemplation or surprise on everyone's faces, and continued:
"Since there is a problem, it must be corrected. Hidden problems are often more deadly than superficial problems. The rough military structure of the Arkworld is no longer suitable for the royal court, and the war concepts of the ancient empire are no longer suitable for the current galaxy and The enemy we have to face has been on the battlefield for more than a hundred years and has experienced thousands of battles, large and small, but many of you here have been on the battlefield for thousands of years. I believe you and others should have similar experiences. I am convening everyone this time because I hope that everyone can use their rich war experience to make suggestions for this military reform that is related to the future survival of the entire royal court, so as to achieve the effect of pooling wisdom and identifying deficiencies. I like to be a dictator and do my own thing, and I also believe that no one is perfect in the world, and one person's wisdom cannot cover endless problems."
After Soshiyan finished speaking, Ivahan, the chief of the Privy Council, immediately read out various contents of the military reform of the Eternal Royal Court. At the same time, the golden ball flying in the sky also projected the information one by one in the air.
To sum it up, this is probably the following -
1. Re-establish the structure of the Guardian Militia of the Royal Court. In the future, the Guardian Militia of the Royal Court will be based on a 12-man team. The entire structure is divided into three levels: battle group-regiment-compound battalion. A Guardian headquarters will be established, with the commander The subordinates have twelve composite battalions, and these establishments are empty administrative establishments during non-war times. The commanders of the regiments and compound battalions are mainly composed of experienced Aida who have practiced the way of warriors. They have the same qualifications as the regular army. The military rank is only relatively low. The advantage is that they are not considered professional soldiers and can do their own thing. They just need to come to the Phoenix Army regularly to receive tactical and command training and assessments. The officers of the Guardian Command are serious formal soldiers. Directly under the Privy Council.
