In this harvest season, Longcheng ushered in a rare military exercise.[.]
The so-called military exercises are internal competitions that are not open to the public. In the words of the military commanders, that's what it looks like. As for the military exercises, you don't need to think about it to know that Zhou Yunfei came up with the name.
The contest is very much anticipated, at least all the armies, generals and even all the soldiers are eagerly looking forward to it.
You have to ask why?
It's very simple. Those who perform well in the competition will get better access to the military academies that all soldiers dream of!
For ordinary soldiers, apart from the illusory honors and ideals of being a soldier, the temptation is to become an officer. The reason is very simple. Being a basic non-commissioned officer will bring you a much higher salary.
!
This is not to say that soldiers' salaries are low, but they are still worse than those of officers.
Military expenditure has also become one of the constraints to Longcheng's military development.
Lu Su complained more than once that Zhou Yunfei spent too much on military matters. When Dragon City was developing rapidly, a large amount of funds were needed to supplement it. However, because of the huge military expenditure, Lu Su had to consider many times.
to financial balance.
Of course, at this stage, due to Dragon City's weird business, many industries have almost monopolized the entire continent, and the gold coins earned can be said to be crazy. Taxes from business, coupled with self-sufficiency and surplus agriculture, are enough
It can meet the current expenses of Dragon City. However, this abnormal composition will definitely not work in the future.
Zhou Yunfei was not very sure how to deal with this.
The high salary set earlier to recruit the army will cause Longcheng to increase its military expenditures exponentially as the army grows larger. Zhou Yunfei is determined not to reduce his salary. Soldiers have to pay for their lives, if they can't even support their families.
, how can he, Zhou Yunfei, have the face to be the lord of everyone!
If they want to be able to afford the huge military expenditure in the future, Zhou Yunfei or Dragon City must find a good way to fill this huge gap, otherwise this will also become a drawback that hinders the development of Dragon City!
If you have soldiers, you will have territory! If you have territory, you will have people, and if you have people, you will have business! If you have business, you will have tax revenue!
Ultimately, this is an endless cycle.
The most important thing is to have soldiers. Zhou Yunfei thought hard about this for a long time.
Finally, he thought of a sinful method.
However, this method is only a method of plundering large amounts of funds when Dragon City's development reaches a bottleneck. Now, at this stage, Dragon City does not need this method.
Putting these aside, let’s talk about this military exercise.
As early as the end of last year, this military exercise was put on the agenda.
Because Zhou Yunfei hoped that the army could still maintain strong combat effectiveness even if it was not in a state of war, military exercises were proposed.
However, due to the situation at that time, due to the invasion of orcs in winter, Dragon City entered a state of combat readiness to prevent the deterioration of the situation from affecting Dragon City, so it was temporarily shelved.
Later, due to the outbreak of the April War, it continued to be stranded.
Finally, in the autumn of the third year of the Divine Calendar, the military exercise finally began with much attention.
Those participating in this military exercise are all elites selected from various formations of the army. They will compete in multiple projects, including both individual and team projects.
The most important thing is the team competition represented by the army.
Zhou Yunfei advocated healthy competition in the military, which made every organization, from generals to soldiers, hold their breath and try to outdo others.
The First Army has been famous for a long time. As the first fully organized army in Dragon City, it became a benchmark before the April War. Almost everyone is holding themselves to the standards of the First Army.
Army, in the last battle of the April War, almost defeated an enemy three times its size with perfect performance, replacing the First Army and becoming the new one.
The 1st Cavalry Division, due to its unique organization, had a brilliant record, but it was still inferior to the 1st and 2nd Armies.
The above three formations have been tested in actual combat, so the soldiers in other formations are all sincerely envious. But while they are envious, a strong impulse is also brewing in their hearts. They want to prove that they are no better than those who have experienced actual combat.
Poor soldier!
During this military exercise, Longcheng's First Fleet also dispatched the newly formed Marine Corps.
As soon as you hear this name, you know that it was Zhou Yunfei who came up with it.
At first, everyone didn't understand what this so-called Marine Corps was. It wasn't until Zhou Yunfei explained it to everyone that they finally understood the meaning with twitching eyes.
"The so-called Marine Corps is an army that comes down from the sea to fight."
This is Zhou Yunfei’s explanation, which is simple and easy to understand.
In fact, this Marine Corps is not that simple. According to Zhou Yunfei's later detailed explanation, the Longcheng Naval Command understood its true role!
Marines, all they need is a quick word!
With a fleet as a maneuver, you can conduct unexpected landing operations in a very short period of time and achieve a predetermined strategic advantage!
This word "quick" has become one of the most core elements of the Marine Corps.
Of course, as long as the soldiers in Longcheng can fight, their attainments in land warfare are definitely no worse than those of the army's regular establishment, and may even be more demanding to some extent!
"Dragon on the sea, tiger on the road!"
These eight words became the motto of the newly created Marine Corps.
Zhou Yunfei even plans to establish a separate headquarters for the Marine Corps as a branch in the future. However, now, the Marine Corps can only rely on the naval fleet and cannot be formed on a large scale.
After talking about the navy, the most exciting people in this military exercise are the dozens of troops and the fifth army!
As Dragon City's second-line army, the Army and the 51st Army are no worse than the first-line army in terms of numbers and organization, but who calls them civilian armies?
However, even civilians have dreams and hopes!
They felt a different atmosphere in Longcheng's army.
This kind of robe, this kind of love between the military and the people, moved them deeply!
Yes, on the Ross continent, except for a few elite soldiers, basically everyone is a precarious cannon fodder. Who cares whether you have hope or not.
Not to mention, even civilian soldiers have the same salary as front-line soldiers!
The most basic private soldier can get a salary of five silver coins every month!
What is the concept of five coins?
In Longcheng, due to the joint planning of Zhou Yunfei and the governor, the stable business atmosphere and environment have made prices lower and lower! On the contrary, if these items are sold outside, they will increase dozens of times!
Low prices and high income are the unique characteristics of Dragon City.
Because of the prosperity of Longcheng's foreign trade, almost all local taxes are getting lower and lower, mainly relying on the amount of taxes collected from foreign trade.
Using the principle of trade barriers, basically a large amount of tax is levied on goods coming in from the outside, which also makes foreign businessmen who want to make money from Dragon City curse.
It is a pity that because Zhou Yunfei and Longcheng have absolute strength, external goods have become increasingly scarce, gradually allowing local businessmen to occupy almost all of the internal market share!
This is a disguised form of encouraging local business atmosphere.
Five silver coins can allow a family of five to live comfortably for a month!
It is this kind of salary that is enough to support a family that really makes the soldiers in the army willing to fight for Zhou Yunfei!
Youdao is the King of Hell and not bad. Under the high salary policy pursued by Zhou Yunfei, the soldiers no longer have to worry about the livelihood of their families, and they truly have no worries!
This is also where all the generals are grateful to Zhou Yunfei.
Almost every soldier who joins the army will gradually integrate into the whole under the influence of the strong love of the army. And the soul of this whole is the character of the first commander!
Take the First Army as an example. Under Xu Sheng's command, they naturally developed a character of strict self-discipline. Almost every soldier had the highest order of standing still.
Moreover, the quality of officers in the First Army is also the highest. Since the First Army was established at the earliest time, almost every officer, down to the non-commissioned officers, has attended a military academy for further studies.
Therefore, the quality of the First Army can be said to be the highest among all armies!
Of course, because the First Army is composed of system soldiers and civilian soldiers, there are still many civilian officers among the officers. Do not underestimate the power of civilians. This is what Zhou Yunfei has always warned the generals.
In fact, among the native soldiers of the Ross continent, there are many talented people who are remnants of the army. Many of them have taken the lead in battles and demonstrated outstanding command skills. In the army, many native officers have been recommended to join the army.
Studying in the military academy that all soldiers dream of, this honor made many civilian soldiers cry bitterly after hearing it.
Not sad, not desperate, but excited!
Yes, before this, no civilian thought that he could get this opportunity!
The strict hierarchy in the Ross continent makes them all think that even if they are excellent, they will never get the chance to climb up.
This is normal. The citizen class of Longcheng is the status that all civilians aspire to. Better social treatment, better career opportunities, and even a better life!
Although these did not cause serious class conflicts among the common people, envy was inevitable.
Fortunately, most of the citizens of Dragon City are kind-hearted Chinese people. They used to be civilians, so they naturally will not treat people who were civilians differently after becoming citizens. The virtue of China is tolerance!
Tolerant of all! Even race, with the integration of China, will not be a problem at all!
Zhou Yunfei is always pleased that in ancient times, the all-embracing mind of ordinary Chinese people was so noble!
The Chinese people mentioned here are all poor people. They work from sunrise to sunset. They may not have high ideals, but that kind of tolerance towards others, to Zhou Yunfei, is the most noble thing in the world!
It is precisely because of this that even if Zhou Yunfei does not have a system,
With the existence of ug, he also has the confidence to rely on the Chinese people behind him to create a legend belonging to them in this alien continent!
