Chapter 224 Quality or Quantity?
All the people living in Idar Territory:
After six months of peaceful development,
The dark clouds of war finally enveloped the land of Idar territory.
Idarling is the home of all of us and the land on which we all depend for survival.
During this time,
We created miracles after miracles with our hands, and we witnessed the growth of Idal's lord with sweat.
I firmly believe
We can also use our own efforts and unity to block the greedy Odin army from the territory, so that the Idal territory will always become a paradise on earth where people live and work in peace, harmony and prosperity!
I don’t want to hide my views and intentions. Here, I publicly announce that the current wealth of Idal is not just me, but also by the leadership of the Stuart family. This is also the result of everyone’s joint efforts!
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to raise their heads and be human.
Here, the serfs can become citizens of Idar with their own contributions!
Here, civilians can obtain superior living conditions through their own labor!
But,
The cowardly Norman royal family wanted to hand over the land under Idal,
The sinful Odin court wants to return the people led by Idar to poverty!
All the Idars, let us unite!
Let us defend our rights with blood,
Let us cut off all the minions that stretched towards the Idal,
Let those greedy invaders shivered in the sound of artillery fire from the Idars!
All the Idars, unite!
...
...
The above is just part of the content of "Letter to All Recipients", but even if it is just this, when the propaganda officials of the Idal leader recited loudly on the side of the street, many of the Idal leader's people felt excited.
Not to mention their sense of identity and belonging to the Idal territory, not to mention their respect and respect for Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idal, since the founding of the Norman Empire, this is the first call issued to all the people on the cover, and the first time it has been called to the people!
Before this, in case of war or conflict, the emperor's only way to deal with the imperial soldiers directly mobilized the emperor's control was to ask the nobles to send troops. Apart from sending out their own personal guards, the nobles who could only force recruit militias in their own territory, besides dispatching their own personal guards.
As for the call and appeal, haha... In the eyes of the nobles, militias are just cannon fodder, so there is no need to be such trouble. Just send people to arrest them directly.
Therefore, whenever a war broke out, there were many examples of the nobles' territories breaking up, their wives and their families broke up, and their families died...
However, in the Idar territory, the army composed of civilians was no longer cannon fodder, but the main force!
What is the main force?
The Idar civilian infantry wearing a full set of armor and sharp weapons are the main force of the battlefield; the Idar civilian artillery, which is deployed after the infantry, is equipped with a large number of magic cannons and magic crystal bombs, is also the main force of the battlefield!
With the basic completion of Bruno's military reform, the originally most elite cavalry of the personal guards had been incorporated into the battle sequence of the Idar Army.
The tasks of guarding the Lord's Castle and protecting Bruno's security were all undertaken by agents from the Idar CIA and elite troops drawn from the Army.
Therefore, defending the security of the Idar Territory and defending the enemies from the land have completely become the main responsibility of the Idar Territory Army, composed of civilians.
It is precisely for this reason that the advanced melee equipment, magic cannons, magic crystal bombs and other powerful cross-age weapons created by the Idar Steel Factory will first meet the needs of the Idar Army.
There is no cannon fodder among the soldiers under Idal, and the life of every Idal soldier is extremely precious. This is the tone that Bruno set a long time ago.
Moreover, compared with the Imperial Army composed of knights, the Idal tribe has a natural advantage, that is, the number of reserve soldiers!
For those young people who signed up for the army but were not successfully selected for the time being, Bruno set up a lot of reserve military farm soldiers in time.
On weekdays, the organizational form of these reserve soldiers is somewhat similar to that of a production team composed of serfs, who farm the fields during the farming season, but at the same time, they also receive a certain degree of military training every day.
In order to achieve both cultivation and training, while providing more food for the Idar territory, the military expenditure burden of the Idar territory should be reduced as much as possible and alleviated the financial situation of the Idar territory.
Of course, the combat effectiveness and training level of these reserve military soldiers is definitely not as good as those of the Idar Army units that receive rigorous and formal training. However, once large-scale war or loss of troops occurs, they can fill in the shortcomings and gaps in military power in the shortest time.
This sounds somewhat similar to the military system of the Idal before the reform. It is a reverse of history, but in fact, it is very different.
Not to mention that these soldiers all signed up for the army with the passion of guarding Idal's leadership. Bruno made great changes in both training methods and daily arrangements.
What's more, they are just reserves!
However, in contrast, the huge Norman Empire...
Since the number of noble knights in the Norman Empire was extremely limited, a large number of cannon fodder militias took on the heavy responsibility of consuming the enemy's vitality.
After all... Once the most elite aristocratic knights suffer heavy damage, the combat effectiveness of the Norman army will be greatly reduced. This is also one of the main reasons why the Norman Empire is still looking forward and afraid on the battlefield.
However, for the Idal tribe, the reserve consisting of a large number of young people responding to the conscription work was able to provide the main combat troops with necessary combat personnel when there was insufficient troops.
The huge Norman Empire suffered from insufficient reserve troops, while the Idal tribe had a large number of reserve soldiers to provide reserve support, which sounded extremely funny, but sometimes, the truth was nonsense.
When the people of Idal joined the army enthusiastically and were ready to respond to Bruno's call at any time, Bruno locked himself in the study of the Lord's Castle and made an extremely important choice.
The brilliant points of the big lighthouse have not been spent, and the [ssss] level Caracala Bathroom gave Bruno a lot of brilliant points, so... At this moment, when the Idal leader was facing threats, Bruno finally turned his attention to the "national concept" classification in the system mall.
