Claude was curious about what kind of garrison formation plan the mayor, Baron Robert, had proposed, which angered everyone who attended the meeting. Especially Vericro's father, Kuberik, who could fall out with him on the spot and even threaten to report him without even saying a word. How much hatred is this
You must know that those who can be recruited to attend this garrison formation meeting are all retired veterans in the town. Although there are more than forty or fifty in Bailu Town, they cannot be bypassed when forming a garrison. The plan of the town mayor, Baron Robert, to form a garrison must be approved by at least two-thirds of the people before it can be implemented. There is no way, this is expressly stipulated by the laws of the kingdom.
Sterling IX traveled throughout the Farea continent before he ascended the throne. After returning home, he was appointed by his father, Sterling VIII, as the Minister of Supervision, responsible for rectifying the country's garrison forces. In the process of carrying out this task, he found that the garrison troops in many places were full of hooligans without any fighting power. They were the best at bullying and extorting civilians and businessmen. More often than not, they have become the evil minions of lords and local officials. In name, they are the kingdom's army, but in fact they have become the private soldiers of some ambitious people.
In the end, Sterling IX had to go on a killing spree, rectify discipline and reorganize these local garrison troops, and punish all local gangsters according to their crimes. This won him great popularity among the people, and also attracted countless enemies to him. The hatred of lords and magistrates. This is also the reason why almost all lords and local officials sided with him after the civil war broke out in the kingdom.
However, Sterling IX finally won the final victory in the kingdom's civil war. After he ascended the throne, he formulated very detailed legal provisions on the garrison strength of various localities to eliminate the possibility of local garrison forces becoming private soldiers and minions of local officials. At the very least, the local garrison forces would have a certain combat effectiveness without becoming disruptive. A source of local unease.
The kingdom's military strength is roughly divided into three parts. One is the field troops, which are also field legions stationed at strategic locations. These field legions recruit from the widest range of sources, even if they are local ruffians. Sometimes when war breaks out, forced recruitment activities will be organized to forcibly recruit local civilians who have no fixed jobs and idle scoundrels into the army. Local ruffians and hooligans are even more It's a given. Anyway, there are strict regimental disciplines to restrain them. As long as they undergo a period of rigorous training, they will become qualified cannon fodder.
The second part is the local security battalion. Generally speaking, each county has a local security battalion with about 800 to 900 people. It is divided into four garrison brigades, each with more than 200 people. The members of the garrison battalion are mostly retired and demobilized officers from the field corps, as well as a large number of veterans from the field corps.
For example, a soldier must serve in the army for fifteen years before he can obtain national status. Then he may serve in a field regiment for seven or eight years, and then transfer to a local guard camp to complete the remaining military service and obtain national status. For the Kingdom, local security battalions are second-line troops responsible for local security and security tasks. They can be rapidly expanded during wars to fill the shortage of troops on the front line.
The third part is the local garrison. In fact, there are not many local garrison troops in the kingdom. The largest organization is the garrison brigade, which is responsible for garrisoning strategic points in the kingdom's interior. During the war, they maintained local order, guarded the transportation safety of traffic roads, and guarded logistical supplies. Sometimes they were recruited by the military to go to the front line to guard prisoner of war camps.
Since the establishment and maintenance of local garrison funds are not borne by the Kingdom's military department, but are allocated from local finances. Therefore, out of concern that local garrison troops would become private soldiers of powerful local figures, the laws of the kingdom made very detailed provisions on the formation of local garrison troops. For example, the army is mainly composed of retired veterans and supplemented by civilians with clean family backgrounds. It is strictly forbidden to recruit local ruffians into the army, and even civilians with immediate family members with criminal records are not allowed to join.
Viricero's father, Kubelik, finally lost his temper after scolding the mayor, Baron Robert, and drank a large bowl of rye before asking the mayor, Baron Robert, to organize the White Deer Town Guards. The plan was stated.
{} If the two fund-raising plans just proposed by the mayor, Baron Robert, only stirred up a little stir, then this plan simply set off a huge wave. The retired veterans present came to their senses and were furious. They asked Mayor Robert what he wanted to do. Kubrick was even more angry on the spot.
