After only five days of this, the entire Flame Corps was in an uproar. Officers at all levels who had never had a good impression of me, the useless division commander, began to complain to Murray, and some of the most angry ones threatened to demolish my barracks.
In this situation, the division commander Murray wanted to commit suicide. Take care of that guy? No, there was an order from above to let that rubbish do what he wanted. Ignore? No, those colleagues would just destroy him. Maybe some people would not bother him but go after that rubbish. If anything happened to him, he would definitely be one of the unlucky ones. After thinking about it, it was not right. In the end, Murray could only report it to the higher-ups and let the two corps commanders deal with the troubles themselves. He really didn't want to care about it anymore.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Thacker immediately summoned the relevant personnel, including the person who was sent to monitor the two new brigades. After watching everyone take their seats, Thacker cast his eyes directly on Pavel.
"Now, many people have reported that the daily training of the 11th and 12th Battalions of the 4th Division is too monotonous and complicated, and very bloody and brutal. In addition, the two battalions rest very late every night, and their knocking and banging affect the rest of the soldiers in other barracks. Is this true? What is the specific situation?" After getting a hint from Sack, Pavel first asked the monitoring soldier.
"Report to the lord, on the first day of training after the new soldiers were assembled, the new deputy division commander chopped off the heads of more than a hundred new soldiers for disobeying military orders..."
"What? Is that guy a lunatic? This murderer..." Before the soldier could finish, several senior generals jumped up. Only 2,000 people, but more than 100 were killed in one day? This was a strong shock to those who were used to seeing bloodshed.
"Shut up! I didn't tell you to speak. Whoever speaks without my permission will get out!" Before the officers could finish expressing their grievances, Sack's words made them shut their mouths immediately, not daring to interrupt.
"After that day, the new recruits no longer dared to disobey any orders from Shen Hanlong. Although some soldiers who made mistakes were still killed by him on the training ground, I can say that their military discipline has reached the standard of ordinary imperial soldiers..."
“Impossible…” Upon hearing that someone had raised the military discipline of a group of slaves with no military experience to the level of ordinary soldiers in just 5 days, a division commander immediately exclaimed. But before he could say anything else, Sack’s gaze and several of his colleagues around him immediately made him shut his mouth.
After the soldier recounted the process of the military discipline training in detail, the officers present fell silent, wondering whether such a bloody method would be effective and what the consequences would be. But soon, except for the two legion commanders, they all gave up the idea. If they did so, not only would the soldiers rebel, but even their relatives and those factions hostile to their own forces would immediately use this as evidence to drive them out of office.
"In addition to these training methods, he changed the weapons of all the people in the two battalions except for 100 elite soldiers to crossbows and equipped them with hand axes. After a few days of training, in addition to accuracy and some details, they have become more proficient in operation. However, they have never practiced with axes. Most of the time, I only saw them cutting trees outside the city and then cutting them into different lengths and bringing them back to the barracks.
In addition to those trainings, every night, each of them would hammer and chop something in the barracks until the early hours of the morning. Since I am not one of their soldiers, I have no way of knowing what they are doing specifically, but I can be sure that among the things they deal with, there must be the wood they have cut back. ...
"Well, the crossbow is one of the most effective weapons for recruits on the battlefield. It can be used without much training. It is quite effective whether it is for long-range attacks or for close-range self-defense. The only drawback is that the shooting frequency is not fast enough. If the enemy gets close to you, you only have one chance to shoot. But the axes he prepared for the recruits are also quite suitable in my opinion. It is indeed a good choice for those strong slaves. With the two weapons combined, as long as the recruits do not collapse, they still have some self-protection ability.
In addition, regarding his disturbing everyone at night, I will ask them to restrain themselves a little, at least not to disturb your sleep. As for how they train, you don't need to ask, you just need to take care of yourselves. If there is nothing else, you can all go down!"
In the astonishment of all the officers, Pavel issued an expulsion order. This was not to ask them to discuss the solution, but to simply let them listen and then immediately send them away. But they were the legion commanders, their direct superiors, and they, the subordinates, did not dare to complain after the two legion commanders spoke. Soon, there were only two legion commanders left in the military tent.
"It seems this guy is not simple! He has used such means, and he is not afraid of the soldiers rioting and killing him directly. He is really a bold guy. In addition, he may be planning to develop his subordinates as auxiliary troops, so he is frantically making those weird things every night. If I hadn't recognized that some of these things are necessary for making catapults, I would not dare to be sure what he is going to do with those things! Is he going to take these things to the battlefield? Otherwise, why does he need so many load-bearing horses? But we now have a magician army, and those ordinary siege weapons are of no great use. Moreover, it is simply impossible for them to build them here and then transport them to the battlefield..." When the others went out, Pavel turned his attention to Sack.
"That guy seems to be very smart. I guess he saw through the details of those 100 soldiers, and then relied on them to control and suppress the 2,000 new recruits. New recruits are not like those veterans who have experienced life and death. As long as they see blood, there is no need to worry about their courage to resist. But then again, if he didn't do this, then he would definitely not be able to train these rubbish into this state in such a short time. I guess our subordinates may really not have that ability. In addition, as long as the things he did in the barracks don't affect our main force, he can do it. At that time, let the branch troops watch him and prevent him from getting into trouble. Don't worry about the life and death of those rubbish..." After learning about what I did in the barracks, Thacker has been satisfied with forcibly pulling me into his hands. He is naturally strong-willed and looks down on the weak. He has always advocated actual results and results. He has never considered the process and the cost. What I did just happened to suit his taste. At this time, after listening to what Sack said, Pavel had some opinions, but in the end he hesitated for a long time but still did not fart.
