Although the atmosphere was slightly serious after hearing Gao Wen, Byron still answered the question in a blank expression: "After two expansions in winter and spring, the number of combatants in the Cecil Combat Corps has reached 5,000. One thousand of them received artillery training. However, although we have 5,000 soldiers, more than 3,000 of them are downright recruits - only basic training, knowing how to use thermal ray guns, grenades, mines, and actual combat experience. zero."

Gao Wen nodded slightly, and the result was roughly within his expectations, and he was quite satisfied with it.

Today's Cecil collar has been expanded again, especially after the official integration of Ceci in the Kant region, the population within the territory has exceeded 70,000 - 30,000 of them are in the main city of Cecil, and the rest are Distributed in the surrounding villages and towns and the vast Kant area, taking into account the development model of the magical industrial society, he continues to concentrate more people towards the main city, and continues to recruit migrants.

On the basis of this population, the proportion of the military and civilians who pioneered the early eight people and one soldier, which was exaggerated, was finally alleviated, and due to the existence of the construction system and the support of the territorial productivity, the size of the Cecil Combat Corps is currently The territory is still relatively reasonable and balanced.

And most of the soldiers in this regiment are recruits, which is a fact that cannot be changed.

In addition to the actual test and time accumulation, the recruits in the army cannot be turned into veterans out of thin air, although the combat troops have always had high-intensity intensive training, regularly travel around the territory, annihilate Warcraft to increase the "seeing blood experience", veterans as seeds Leading the tradition of recruiting classes, the training efficiency is much higher than the traditional private soldiers of this era, but the efficiency is higher, and it is impossible to train those new recruits in place in more than two months.

But Gao Wen knows that even if the proportion of recruits is very high, the soldiers of the Combat Corps still have a huge advantage compared with the traditional private soldiers of this era. This advantage is enough to offset the problem caused by the high proportion of many recruits. Particularity.

The traditional soldiers of this era mainly rely on cold weapons to fight. The magical power is often only used by a few combat mage in the army to gain battlefields and counteract opponents. Soldiers who use cold weapons are particularly long and difficult to train. The fighting, offensive and defensive skills need to be tempered over the years, and the courage required for close-up face-to-face killing is not tempered overnight, but the magic guide soldiers?

From the exposure of thermal ray guns to the torso that can hit people roughly tens of meters away, it takes only one month of practice, which can also be subject to disciplined, institutionalized brainwashing and soldier ethics learning. Cold weapon fighting...

The performance of the fusion cut sword is enough to make up for a lot of short boards.

What's more, for the Cecil soldiers, the cold weapon close combat itself is not the main item: the melt-cut sword is only a secondary weapon.

Byron was one of the main commanders and early founders of the Combat Corps. Of course, the situation of the soldiers under the opponent was also known, so after reporting the proportion of recruits, he immediately said: "A magical infantryman who has been trained for two months is It can kill several traditional soldiers who have been trained for many years and even experienced several battles within tens of meters, so even our recruits have a strong fighting power - with enough shooting space."

“Compared to the artillery training, it’s more complicated and slower,” he later said. “The team works together, quickly accessing the data on the shots, memorizing various battlefield commands, and using and maintaining the orbital accelerators. These are more specific heat rays. The gun is much more difficult."

"This is normal, the formation speed of the senior arms has always been the case," Gao Wen nodded. "As long as they can master the small artillery as soon as possible."

“You can rest assured in this regard,” Byron said confidently. “The miniaturized ‘persuader’ orbital cannon can be controlled by two people. The shots are simple and the sights are simpler. The training has been in place.”

After Byron’s report, Philip then spoke up: “I am integrating and reorganizing the old corps from the Kant area. After the Kant’s pledge of allegiance, the Knights of Wald Perich led the Knights and their subordinates, the militia. Incorporating Cecil's collar, this group of people is about 3,000. They are old-fashioned aristocrats, fighting strength and discipline, very poor, can't compare with our combatants, but fortunately in this group of people There are twelve regular knights, and with the cooperation of these Kant knights, the reorganization of the old corps is very smooth."

"Intensify training, especially the work of ideological transformation must be in place," Gao Wen, who knows the status of aristocratic private soldiers in this era, emphasizes the ideological reform work of those old corps, but fortunately, the previous Kant’s requisition is a system comparison. In an open-minded, well-ordered territory, the local old corps did not become corrupt and incorrigible. He was somewhat optimistic about this. "This corps, after being trained as a second corps, will still be Wald Perry. Commander of the Knights. I have had contact and understanding of Wald Peric, and he is a reliable and loyal person as long as his thoughts change."

"The first phase of the steel cavalry and the initial training plan have been put in place, but just started training. There is nothing to report yet," said the third opening, Solderin. "I myself privately based on it." I have thought about some equipment design plans for my own combat experience and the characteristics of the 'magic weapon.' I am going to discuss with Mr. Egg recently."

After these reports were over, Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction, and Herti, who had long wanted to talk, couldn’t help but open her mouth: "The ancestor, we want to... prepare for the war?"

"Yes, preparation, but it is only preparation," Gao Wen looked at Hertty's eyes. "Frankly, I don't want to involve the developing territory now in the war, but we must be prepared for the changes." ”

"Changes in the situation..." Hetti thought about it and understood the meaning of Gao Wen. "You mean that the peace talks between Tifeng and Ansu will be a big mess? Instead, it will lead to a war?"

"I just have some uneasy feelings," Gao Wen affirmed Herti's statement from the side. "I would like to believe that the leaders of both countries are aware of the common threats from the wasteland, and they can understand that the two countries are not fighting at this time. Reasonable, but I doubt whether everything will develop so smoothly... The eternal sleeper, the end of all things, the two main warlords of the two countries, and the rumored Emperor of the Titan’s 'madness', there are too many factors in Threatening this negotiation, once there is a problem in the negotiation process, it is too late to prepare after the war breaks out."

"I understand," Herti nodded slowly. "The Office of Political Affairs will also start to act - in fact, after all the business roads have been opened, the work of hoarding materials has not stopped, but now I will increase the hoarding of materials according to the preparation standards. Strength."

Cecil is a place that looks peaceful and prosperous, but in fact, thanks to Gao Wen’s sense of crisis, this land is ready for the war from the very beginning – whether the enemy is a distorted person or a human being. In the past year, Gao Wen has opened up the trade routes in three directions. Nowadays, all kinds of ore from the West Leslie, the raw materials of medicinal materials from the northern Kant region and wheat, the grain and fur from the Oriental Gülen collar, Textile raw materials are continuously sent to the warehouse every day.

Outsiders only know that Cecil has earned amazing wealth in the fields of alchemy pharmacy, magical machinery, etc. But they may not imagine that more than half of these wealth is actually spent at the same amazing speed and become high. Preparing for war supplies in the warehouse...

"In addition to the reserve materials, we must also consider the issue of security, public opinion, logistics, material distribution, etc. in the territory," Gao Wen said, not only watching Hetty, but also everyone present. " Cecil has a far more prosperity and order than the outside world. What we have to prove is that even in the face of war, this prosperity and order is far beyond anywhere."

After completing various preparations for the war, Gao Wen announced the end of the meeting, but the atmosphere at the scene was still somewhat serious.

When he saw this, he laughed. "Of course, we are just prematurely here. Maybe this negotiation will end very smoothly. Maybe nothing will happen, so don't be nervous." of."

Amber couldn't help but pick it up when he heard this: "Why do you panic when you say this?"

Gao Wen immediately glared at this guy: "What do you say?"

Amber whispered: "You said last time that if the distortion is not going to attack, it will be more than 3,000 monsters to attack the city..."

Gao Wenyi slaps on the skull of this half-elf: "Rebecca is not responsible for the head iron, right?!"

"Aunt - hurt!"

Thanks to the dedication and sacrifice of Miss Half Elf, after Gao Wen’s slapping, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly less intense and serious...

After taking amber shots honestly, Gao Wen remembered things, so he looked at Byron: "Speaking, the winter is over, and the exploration of the rest of the 'rebellious fortress' seems to be able to start again."

After Carmel joined Cecil’s collar, many of the secrets of the remains of the mountain were cracked, and the name was changed to the official name of the Gangdang Empire, “the rebellious fortress”. At present, one third of the rebellious fortress has been re-enacted. It came in handy, and after the transformation of the modern magic net, it became the location of the arsenal, the sophisticated equipment manufacturing plant, and the war preparation material warehouse, but it still has a large part of the area hidden in the unknown darkness.

Although Carmel is one of the senior technicians who used to rebel against the fortress, the size of the old fortress is too large, and there are too many secrets buried inside. Only the royal family of the year has mastered all the secrets of the fortress. Therefore, Carmel only helped Gao Wen to draw a structural map of the bottom of the rebellious fortress and the rebellious fortress area. As for the southern and eastern parts of the fortress, it is still a mystery.

After the winter, Gao Wen suspended the exploration of the unknown area of ​​the fortress, and ordered people to temporarily block the corridor leading to the southern and eastern parts of the fortress, but now the winter is over and the weather is gradually warming up. He thinks it is time to put This project has been restarted.
