Chapter 2743: Winter in Forge Valley

The "war observer" Vigraf, who arrived in the Forge Valley with the transport team, was warmly received by George Vassar and his staff.
General Vassar learned from Mr. Franklin in advance about Vigraf’s outstanding achievements in the founding war in the Far East. He also knew that this young general was Roland’s confidant general and concurrently served as the chief instructor of the Military Academy of Colasburg University. There is a good way to lead soldiers to fight or to train new recruits.
When receiving Vigraf, General Vassar was very humble. Not only did he not put on the air of commander-in-chief, he also sincerely invited Vigraf to be the instructor of the Continental Army, using the new style of the Far Eastern Army to help him train this losing streak. Of the miscellaneous army.
General Vassar's straightforward and sincere style, and his open mind to accept criticisms humbly left a very good impression on Vigraf, a foreigner.
Considering that I am going to stay in the Forge Valley for two months anyway, I am still idle. It is better to accept the appointment of General Vassar and use the convenient identity of an instructor to go to the grassroots of the Continental Army and understand the thoughts and thoughts of middle and lower-level officers and soldiers. Can make a fair and comprehensive evaluation of this army.
General Vigraf was a very cautious person. Before starting the training, he went to the camp and took a look at the outsider's perspective to see how the Continental Army soldiers usually train, their level, and what else. The place needs to be improved.
As a result, under this view, General Vigraf's Three Views were strongly impacted, and he was almost off by a heart attack!
To put it harder, I have never seen a unit with such a poor quality after fighting for half of my life!
The Continental Army can't beat Fiji's real regular army, and it really can't be blamed on the backward equipment. With this sloppy military discipline, chaotic organization, and no matter how sophisticated the weapons are, it is for nothing.
After some observations, General Vigraf summed up the most prominent and fatal flaws of the Continental Army that need to be corrected the most—freedom, confusion, and poor obedience!
In Vigraf's view, the most important thing for the troops is to work together, work together, and do their best.
In order to improve command efficiency and maintain the order of the troops, sometimes the individuality and freedom of officers and soldiers have to be suppressed. This may be cruel, but it is necessary.
In the Far East, officers and soldiers at any level are well aware of the principle of "obedience is the mission of military personnel." They can raise objections during discussions, but once a resolution is made, their personal opinions can only be retained. The superiors issue orders, and the subordinates execute them unconditionally. No nonsense!
However, in the Continental Army, because the vast majority of the troops are untrained recruits from different regions, they signed short-term service contracts. After a year of fighting, the order in the army is still messed up, and the relationship between superiors and superiors is unclear. However, officers have no authority in the minds of soldiers, and the following crimes are commonplace.
For example, when an officer ordered to say "to march east", soldiers under his command would not immediately execute the order, but instead came to ask "Why do you want to go east? Why not go west? I think it is more appropriate to go west..."
Just this kind of "strength fine", there are as many as there are in the barracks of Forge Valley!
If you don't tell him clearly, he won't do it. Everyone will act on their own feelings and judgments.
Vigraf discovered the crux of the problem. After taking over the training work, he took over the method he used to teach non-commissioned officers at the military academy. The officers and soldiers of the army took ideological education courses to explain clearly why "soldiers must regard obedience as their bounden duty."
What he thinks is to first educate the middle and lower-level officers. After the quality of the officers is improved, they can guide the soldiers under them when they go back, and finally achieve the goal of reforming military discipline.
Vigraf’s original intention was good, and his years of experience in officer training were impeccable, but he soon found depressed that this set of methods moved from the Far East Military Academy had encountered a dilemma in the Forge Valley. .
He, the instructor, had no prestige in the eyes of the middle and lower-ranking officers of the Continental Army where banditry prevailed. He taught the stage, and there was a lot of chaos underneath. He should talk and laugh, and there were not many people who listened carefully.
The chaos in the classroom is nothing more. Some people take Vigraf's dragon blood line as a joke, make fun of his appearance in private, and even openly publish some racially discriminatory remarks, and lack the most basic respect for him.
This kind of thing will be annoying to anyone, and Vigraf is no exception.
However, calm down and think about it. As a newcomer, in the Continental Army camp where local friendship and hilltopism are particularly important, it is understandable that I cannot get the respect of officers and soldiers.
When such problems are encountered, they cannot be solved by reasoning alone. The necessary violent deterrence and material punishment are more effective.
General Vigraf suspended his lectures, rolled up his sleeves, and pointed to the noses of some of the happiest lower-level officers who were making noises underneath in a way of manly communication. If they were not convinced, they would come up and gesture a few times. , "Use your fist to make sense."
"Class time is precious. If you can have as little delay as possible, you can go there together."
As an 8th-level "Kitland Dragon Totem Warrior" and a 10th-level advanced professional "Dragon Warrior", General Vigraf said this only as a calm statement of facts, but annoyed the following group of people who do not know the heights. Yelled and rushed up, claiming to show him a little color.
Then they all became jokes.
Within two minutes, Vigrav beat all the unconvinced guys to the ground.
In the second half of this class, the students who can still sit and listen to the class are all obedient as never before, and each one is as quiet as a chicken...
Violent deterrence is indeed effective, but it must not be abused, otherwise it will create an atmosphere of advocating violence and despising the mind in the army, and generals such as General Green, who are not prominent in personal force but have a strategy, will be treated unfairly. , And this is precisely the prejudice that Vigraf hopes officers and soldiers can overcome.
During the training process, General Vigraf also noticed that the Continental Army had a strong hilltop style at the grassroots level.
Whether or not a soldier obeys the orders of his superiors, and the extent of his obedience, does not depend on the size of his superiors' official ranks, but rather depends on where the opponent's hometown is, whether he is from the south or the north, and whether he is his fellow villager.
If you are a fellow, give some face, if you are a "outside countryman", then go to your sister!
Regardless of what you say, ignore it!
This kind of strong local concept and clan consciousness is deeply ingrained within the Continental Army.
Not to mention the lower-level officers and soldiers, even in the headquarters, the generals are more willing to promote the well-informed fellows around them, and there is a lot of prejudice against the outsiders.
