Chapter 760: "·Rectification Army·Four"

Men create women, and as long as men still produce sex, he is willing to constantly recreate women. The man gave the woman consciousness, and likewise, he gave the woman presence. Woman is the sin of man.
Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)
Being able to get Cunningham’s loyalty was purely a windfall for Bai Feng; the reason he appointed Cunningham as the head of the city defense army in the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble was mainly because he was really under his command There is no suitable candidate for this task.
Moreover, it is Cunningham’s proposal to rebuild the two provincial defense forces with the remaining 5,000 soldiers of the Eastern Legion as the backbone; if he is directly responsible, he is more reliable than other people who do not understand the importance of it.
After accepting the loyalty of Cunningham with a little joy, Bai Feng said to him: "Cunningham, do you have any specific thoughts on the reconstruction of the Provincial Defense Forces of Lyon and Grenoble, please tell me listen."
"General, I think that even if the empire ends the current two-line combat situation as soon as possible, it is still difficult to organize an effective offensive against the orc army that occupies the sunset fortress; it is still unknown whether the empire that lost the sunset fort can hold the newly recovered eastern provinces. ."
"Although we have recently recovered four occupied provinces in succession, they are all used to comfort the people of the empire and fool other countries; real insiders know that the four provinces we have recovered are the initiative of the orc army. Give up."
"So, our seemingly aggressive counterattack on the surface, in fact, did not even see the shadow of the main force of the orc army; this for us is not only a good thing to build meritorious blood, but also a crisis to the future. bad thing."
"Especially the special geographic location of the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble determines that these two provinces are easier to attack and defend than the two provinces we have recovered; for these two provinces to rebuild the city defense forces, you must Consider the offensive that the orc army might launch at any time."
Cunningham's truthful report does not sound so pleasant, but Bai Feng is not a good man who can't listen to the truth; for Cunningham's analysis of the facts, he affirmed in time: "It's good, we It is indeed a crisis everywhere."
"Since we have no way to enhance the strength of the empire, nor can we control the movements of the orc army; then, as far as possible, plan ahead is our only and effective way to resist the orc army's attack."
"The 300,000 troops stationed at the border of Mondan province are our first line of defense against the orc army, and the city defense forces of Lyon province and Grenoble province are our reserve forces; the formation of two powerful The city’s defense force is leaving us a retreat."
Bai Feng, who has personally experienced the battle of the sunset fortress, became famous by leading the army to kill a retreat and rescue countless friendly forces; he was very much in favor of Cunningham’s retreat. .
"Last time, if the orc army quickly occupied the five eastern provinces, we were strictly guarding against the sunset fortress, and we would not be easily captured by the orc army; it is indeed extremely necessary to form a strong urban defense force behind the army in front."
After paving so much and being recognized by Bai Feng, Cunningham finally went straight to the theme and said: "In this way, the reconstruction of the two provinces’ city defense forces must be greatly expanded in scale; the number of county city defense forces should be 3,000, The capital city defense force should be at least five thousand!"
"In addition to the three thousand city defense forces stationed in the county and the five thousand city defense forces stationed in the capital, the towns under the jurisdiction of each county should form no less than a thousand city defense militia members under the city defense force according to the size of the town. , Used to undertake wartime defensive tasks in each town."
According to Cunningham's idea, he intends to build a city-defense army similar to the militia into a regular army in the true sense, and then use the name of the city-defense militia to form a large number of backup militia units that play the role of the city defense army in the town.
If Bai Feng agrees with Cunningham’s approach, then the Lyon province, which has four counties, will need 14,000 city defense troops and about 30,000 city-defense militia, and the Grenoble province, which has five counties. It takes 17,000 city defense troops and about 40,000 city-defense militiamen.
The five Eastern Legions have only 5,000 extra troops, and the two provinces need at least 31,000 city defense troops and 70,000 city defenders; this means that Bai Feng will recruit from the two provinces he has just recovered. One hundred thousand young and strong!
Of course, of the newly recruited 100,000 young and strong, only 26,000 people can really enter the city defense army. The other more than 7,000 young and middle-aged people will continue to stay in their families after a little training as a city guard militia. The town where it is located serves as a wartime defensive force in the town.
The one-time recruitment of 100,000 young and powerful is really too shocking, and even causes the suspicion of Charles the Great, who is far away in the imperial capital; more importantly, the two provinces that have been ravaged by the orc army have not had so many youths for the time being. Zhuang can be recruited by Bai Feng.
The young men who dragged their families and returned to their homes soon were the pillars of their respective families. Before they rebuilt their homes and settled their families, no matter how excellent the recruitment conditions were, it was impossible to recruit too many people who were willing to abandon their families. Young and strong.
After considering everything in all aspects, Bai Feng agreed in principle to Cunningham's urban defense force formation plan; however, such a huge urban defense force formation plan must be implemented in at least three stages to ensure the feasibility of the entire plan.
The first phase is based on the next four months, with 5,000 soldiers of the Eastern Legion as the backbone to form a 13,000-strong urban defense force and 20,000-strong city-defense militia; on average, each Towns should form a three-hundred-man guard militias.
The second stage is to extend the scale of the city defense army to 20,000 people on the premise of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the city defense force within the period of eight months after four months; at the same time, the scale of the city defense militia also needs to be expanded. To 35,000 people, ensure that there are 500 people in each town.
The third stage is the one-year final stage of improvement. Both the city defense army and the city defender militia can be expanded to the size of the Cunningham plan; at that time, the defense of the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble, Will reach a very amazing point!
Faced with this arrangement of Bai Feng's phased formation of the city defense army, Cunningham will naturally have no objections; after finalizing these key links, everything is only ready for the formation of the city defense army. The candidates for the two urban defense forces have not been decided.
Eventually it will command the commanders of 14,000 city defense troops and 30,000 city defenders in Lyon, and the commanders of 17,000 city defense troops and 40,000 city defenders in Grenoble; their status and the number of soldiers Compared with the head of the standing legion, the head of the legion will only be higher.
The large-scale army, coupled with the fact that these troops are scattered in all cities and towns in the province, the commander-in-chief will almost certainly become the de facto supreme ruler in the province; to whom such an important position is assigned, Bai Feng must Consider carefully.
But no matter how Bai Feng thinks about it, there is no suitable general under his command to serve as the leader of the two provinces' urban defense forces; after all, it is impossible for Bai Feng to adjust the competent commanders and commanders of his army Go to the city defense army to be the leader?
In desperation, Bai Feng decided to appoint Paresi and Slim together with Cunningham to serve as the commanders of the two provincial defense forces; however, before giving the official appointment, Bai Feng still had to test Palé. West and Slim's.
