Chapter 508: Military Parade Selection
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Michael Knights Base No. 1.
woo woo woo woo!
As soon as the continuous sound of the horn sounded, Darlene immediately opened her eyes like a conditioned reflex.
No... It should be said that all the soldiers, whether they were veterans or new recruits, immediately opened their eyes like a conditioned reflex.
After opening their eyes and waking up, all the soldiers got out of bed and made their own beds.
Currently, among all the troops in the Britannian Empire, the only one that has strict requirements on bed, tent hygiene and other internal affairs is the Knights of Michael.
Before Su Cheng took office, the Michael Knights, like other troops, did not have many requirements for beds and tent sanitation. After getting up, the soldiers would kick off the quilt, put on their armor, and go directly out of the tent to assemble.
.
But it's different now.
After Su Cheng took office, in order to enhance the discipline of the Knights, he set many strict internal requirements for the Knights.
For example: everyone's quilts must be folded neatly, and all tents must be clean.
Su Cheng also designed an inspection team to check each bed and tent every day to see if they were up to standard.
Someone didn't make the bed properly, so he punished that person severely.
If any tent is not cleaned well, everyone in the tent will be severely punished.
After such a long period of training, both recruits and veterans have become accustomed to the habit of paying attention to the hygiene of their beds and tents every day.
After folding the quilt and placing the pillow very skillfully, Darlene quickly put on her armor, hung up her sword, carried her shield, picked up her spear, and rushed out of the tent at a fast running speed.
Darlene and her group of new recruits who came in the first phase of the draft have already begun weapons training. They now each have a spear, a long sword, and a shield.
Every time they gather, they must put on their armor and hold their weapons.
It only took less than 3 minutes from the time the horn sounded to when Darlene and the others got dressed and arrived at the meeting place.
"Good morning! My lovely subordinates!!"
Lindsay's familiar big voice reached everyone's ears.
"Before starting today's training, let me tell you some good news!!"
Lindsay was smiling all over her face, as if something good had happened to her, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
"In order to promote our country's national and military might, our empire has decided to hold a grand military parade on April 27 this year! Reviewing the generals of the three major knights!!"
Military parade? What is that...
Darlene frowned and couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Not only Darlene was confused, but almost everyone present was confused.
This was the first time they heard the word "military parade".
When almost everyone was confused, Lindsay continued:
"For this military parade, it was decided to select 3 infantry brigades, 1 archer brigade, and 1 cavalry brigade from each of the three major knights for review! In other words, each knight corps will have 5 brigades, totaling 5,000
People are inspecting it!”
"And for the troops that can be selected to participate in the military parade, all the generals in their troops will receive generous rewards!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, including Darlene.
The vast majority of people join the military just to get military pay, and the phrase "rich rewards" has a great appeal to them.
"I don't know what other knights are like, but I know how much reward our Michael Knights have!"
"The commander of a brigade that can be selected to participate in the military parade and the corps to which the brigade belongs will receive a reward of 500,000 British crowns!"
"The captain of this brigade will be rewarded with 100,000 yinglang! All the squadron leaders of this brigade will be rewarded with 50,000 yinglang! All the squad captains of this brigade will be rewarded with 30,000 yinglang! All the soldiers of this brigade will be rewarded with 10,000 yinglang!"
"That is to say! As long as our 17th Brigade of the 4th Army can be selected to participate in the military parade, each of you can get a reward of 10,000 Yinglang, and I can also get a reward of 30,000 Yinglang!!"
Gudong...
The sound of swallowing was heard.
The eyes of many soldiers began to become fiery, even Darlene was no exception.
10,000 Yinglong is already a large amount of money for a person like Darlene who comes from a rural background.
"To tell you the truth, I really want these 30,000 heroes! Tell me! Do you want this reward?!"
"think!!!"
All the soldiers of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Group shouted in unison.
"Very good! This is the momentum we need!"
"Actually, it's not just us, the commander of our 4th Army, Mr. Dale, also really wants this 500,000 reward!"
"The selection criteria are very simple. Give us half a month! Whichever brigade has the best training results within half a month will be selected to participate in the military parade!"
"Your Excellency Dale's goal is to win all the places! Let the five brigades that can go to participate in the military parade all be brigades of the 4th Army! In this way, she can get 2.5 million British crowns!"
"So Your Excellency Dale has decided to manipulate us well within this half-month period! Please be mentally prepared!"
"For the reward! Let us work hard in the next half month!!"
"yes!!!"

Information currently available for release:
The military system of the Britannia Empire: Each army has 20,000 troops, and each army is generally equipped with 3,000 cavalry, 4,000 crossbowmen, and 13,000 infantry.
In other words, each army basically consists of 3 cavalry brigades, 4 crossbow brigades, and 13 infantry brigades.
But this is not absolute. Some armies are not configured like this, but most armies are configured like this.
In the Britannia Empire, if you want to become a cavalry or crossbowman, you must first start as an infantryman.
If you want to become a crossbowman, you must first serve as an infantryman for at least 3 months. After passing the assessment and selection, you can become a crossbowman.
If you want to become a cavalry, it is more difficult. You must first serve as an infantryman for 4 months, and then go through more rigorous assessment and selection before you can become a cavalry.
Therefore, in the Britannia Empire, there were no real recruits, whether cavalry or crossbowmen. Every recruit was once an infantryman and had gone through a long period of military training.
Therefore, the new recruits in the cavalry and archer units can quickly develop combat effectiveness, because there is no need to spend time teaching them basic knowledge such as discipline and military regulations. They can directly teach them how to use bows or how to fight on horseback.
.
This is why Darlene and her group of new recruits who have just entered the army are all infantrymen.
The cavalry and archer units of the 4th Army of the Knights of Michael are already full, so there is no need to add new people.
All infantrymen in the 5th Army and the 6th Army are newly recruited recruits (the 6th Army has not yet completely recruited new recruits).
Su Cheng has now begun to establish the cavalry and crossbow corps of the 5th and 6th armies:
From the infantry brigades of the 1st Army, 2nd Army, and 3rd Army, which are all veterans, 14,000 people suitable to be cavalry and crossbowmen were selected and put into the 5th Army and 6th Army.
.
Then, 14,000 recruits were selected from the 5th and 6th armies and returned to the infantry brigades of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies.
Although the cavalry and crossbowmen who were forced into the 5th and 6th armies had not experienced systematic training before, they had already received long-term infantry training, so they all had excellent physical fitness and military skills.
In terms of literacy, there is no need to teach them basic military knowledge such as how to stand and how to salute. You can directly teach them how to ride a horse and how to hold a bow, so they can quickly develop combat effectiveness.
