Chapter 214: Recruiting people from the military

"Earl Brandlis, what do you want the navy to do?" The admiral did not immediately agree to Purficott's request, but instead wanted to know more.

As an admiral, he was naturally qualified to know what Perficott was doing in the north.

Whether she can successfully complete her plan in the north is related to the life and death of the entire empire. In this case, no one dares to trouble Perficott.

Even the aristocratic parliament and the democratically elected parliament, which are usually the most aggressive, have remained silent and cooperated sincerely on this matter, instead of trying to seize power and divide interests as usual, and no one dared to do so at such a critical stage. Ignore Perficott, the Earl of the North.

Some people may be dissatisfied with the fact that Perfecote is just a female figure, but she has proven her ability with her strength and achievements, and also proved from another perspective that she is irreplaceable.

In this case, let alone the navy, even the noble council had no idea of ​​replacing her.

Therefore, the admiral had no intention of letting Navy personnel intervene in the northern border to evacuate Perfectcott.

If he really plans to do this, then all responsibilities will be transferred to the Navy. It's okay if the thing is done, but if it is messed up, the Navy will be in doom.

As for whether the Navy can accomplish this? The admiral is still aware of this. It's okay for them to fight, but to engage in construction? Although the Navy itself has some engineering and construction capabilities, it is not strong enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building shelters in the north.

In comparison, the Army may be more successful in this regard, but they also dare not guarantee that they can shoulder this responsibility.

Faced with the recognition of the two admirals, Purficott did not say much. He just told them: "I need to borrow your logistics system. The construction of the northern border requires a large amount of materials. I need the navy to help from the mainland and the New World." The colonies were sending supplies north, and the Army was needed to help build some projects.

Due to well-known reasons, there is a serious shortage of qualified managers in the North, so you also need to lend some excellent logistics managers to help handle related matters. "

You must know that this is the entire northern border, not just one or two cities. Especially since there are almost no indigenous people and aborigines in the area to use, and there are no settlements established by the pioneers themselves. It is impossible to replicate the colonial management model.

After hearing that Purficott said that he wanted to borrow people, the admiral and the admiral of the army looked at each other and quickly made a decision: "The Navy's New World Squadron is at your disposal. In addition, we will raise at least twenty more ships. Cargo ships form a transport fleet to provide transportation services to the northern border."

These matters should have been taken care of by the managers of the Northern Territory, but although Purficott had people recruited in Langton, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Because of this, when Purfict said that she needed someone to do the work for her so that she could free up her hands to do other things, what the admiral and the army general thought was that Purfict had something to do. They help rather than seeing this as a good opportunity to meddle in the North.

"The Army will send an army-level logistics team to the northern border. Little Purficott, you can use them at will." The Army General was also very straightforward and gave the maximum commitment directly within the scope of his rights: "If you still If you need people, you can write a report yourself and say that you want to expand the army. Within the scope of a group army, the military headquarters will not impose any restrictions."

"It's okay. By the way, give me the officer corps as well." Purficott thought for a while and decided to also come with the officers of the group army.

In the military establishment of the Victoria Empire, generally speaking, only the officer corps and logistics team of the group army are full. The combat troops only retain establishments and officers in units above the regiment. Only when there is a war, soldiers will be recruited. Fill up. This is naturally done to reduce logistical pressure and avoid the need to maintain huge military expenditures in peacetime.

Under normal circumstances, regiment-level combat units only have one-third of their troops to maintain the proportion of veterans, and will not fill up the establishment.

Of course, units such as the Guards, City Guards, and Colonial Garrison will still remain at full strength to deal with emergencies.

If the three countries had declared war on Viktoria before, and the empire had responded in a conventional manner, it would have started a large-scale recruitment and mobilization to fill up the establishments one by one, and then send them to the front lines to fill the lines.

And this also resulted in the fact that although it was a group army in name, the troops that could actually be used for combat may not be as good as the Guards Division in the hands of Perficott.

Naturally, what Purficott wants is not a complete army group, but these officers and logistics teams with management experience, so that she can directly leave the shelter construction task to them and save herself some trouble.

As for the troops used for combat, the 17th Guards Division, which will go north after the beginning of spring, and the White Bear Knights she has are completely sufficient.

The army general hesitated when he heard that Purficott wanted an officer corps. He thought for a while before replying: "I can't make the decision on this. I need to go back and discuss it within the military department. But it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just the officers." Just a group.”

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Seeing that the matter was settled, Purficott nodded with satisfaction, and then prepared to send the two generals away.

But the two admirals came all the way here, so naturally they couldn't just go back empty-handed. They had to get some benefits from Purficott.

"Your Majesty, about the flying stone..." the admiral said shyly to Perficott, but before he could finish speaking, Perficott raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

Purficott took out the Flying Stone from his arms, showed it in front of the two admirals, and said: "This is the Flying Stone, a substance that does not exist in nature. I made it with the Philosopher's Stone. fantasy elements.

It is precisely because of this that it can completely violate the laws of nature, allowing people to become lighter than air and fly directly.

As I said just now, it requires the Philosopher's Stone to create it, so this is the only one currently available.

If you think you can find a more powerful alchemist than me, then find someone to study it, otherwise, stop chatting with me, two grandpas. "

After Purficott said this, the two generals could only express that everything was in accordance with Purficott's wishes, and then left with a bit of disappointment.
