When talking about his professional field, Gordon still has a say. Delaney also respects this senior very much and takes out his notebook to record it in detail.

The troops of the Xishan Camp were deployed, their generals were formed, their arms reserves, and their training intensity... The most important thing was how loyalty was ensured by the troops trained by the Sixth Institute of the Japanese!

How did Prince Dun and Gordon use money, credit, training, reconstruction, etc. little by little to break up the past power system and throw Yi's shadow out of the military camp little by little.

Delaney had no expression on his face but a turbulent heart. He saw from Gordon's browning expression that he loved Xishanying, especially the ten thousand iron troops he had personally broken up and rebuilt, which was even more of his heart.

"Draeni... do you know? The 10,000 soldiers under my command have a monthly salary every quarter, which is paid by the emperor himself!"

"Your Majesty is on the viewing platform, and all the soldiers are on the playground. He personally paid the salary in squad and platoon. He cannot guarantee that every soldier can take the money from the emperor!"

"But Your Majesty can guarantee that a platoon of soldiers can stand in front of him, and every soldier can see His Majesty's dragon face!"

"Every soldier knows that the silver was given by the emperor, and the emperor stands by their side!"

"For the remaining two months, I will personally pay the military salary one month, and Prince Dun will personally pay the military salary another month... Others will not touch this right at all!"

"Other troops can also receive such treatment, but they are not as frequent as this iron army! I dare not say anything else. In the current Xishan camp, basically every soldier of tens of thousands of troops has seen the emperor, and Prince Dun and my face!"

"We can't know these tens of thousands of people, but all these tens of thousands of people can know us!"

Ah! Delaney whispered, "All sixty thousand people know the emperor?"

Delaney's surprise is normal. In an era when modern media technology was not popularized, the army was a giant, and all three armies knew the commander!

In the Middle Ages, soldiers often knew officers, squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders on the two or three levels above their heads... That's the end, many big-headed soldiers didn't know their own battalion commanders!

Why is this happening? Because there are few contacts and few meetings, the soldiers know more about the people around them who can see every day!

Unless a regiment-level commander of a battalion is very responsible and willing to go to the grassroots of the army and take the initiative to fight with the soldiers! Such an army's combat effectiveness is generally impossible to be wrong!

Just think about it, the battalion-level commander can command basic big-headed soldiers and get the support of front-line soldiers. How could this combat effectiveness be low?

This vertical management efficiency can effectively prevent grassroots or middle-level officers from overthrowing senior officers, and there will be no discounts on the execution of military orders!

However, such generals and officials are a minority after all, so there are not many famous generals in the world, and most of them are mediocre people!

This kind of vertical management is actually over the battalion level. The army is getting bigger and bigger and more than thousands of people, so it is difficult for you to get to know each other one by one.

Therefore, it is impossible for first-level commanders to know all soldiers at the brigade-level division-level military units, and it is difficult for soldiers to know the highest commanders. There are too few opportunities for them to meet, and there are too many management teams separated by them.

This situation will not improve until the era of the modern media explosion. Under the bombing of the media, every soldier knows who the president is and who the coalition commander is. Ordinary soldiers have various channels to know the superiors!

But this is all after the 21st century. It is only the end of the 19th century. When Gordon said that all the 60,000 soldiers from Xishan Camp knew the emperor, Delaney couldn't believe it anymore and couldn't help but exclaim.

Gordon drank a glass of wine and smiled awkwardly, "Maybe a bit exaggerated, but I can guarantee that all ten thousand of my subordinates will definitely know the emperor!"

"At least half of the other troops know the emperor and know that the emperor is their master!"

"And Prince Dun and I are the real soldiers who know each other, I can guarantee this!"

Hiss... Delaney couldn't help but take a breath. Gordon was really determined to train the little emperor. He was in the military camp. He really used this Xishan camp as his own home to train.

It is difficult to find such an officer in charge in Europe. Perhaps only some of the hereditary Junker nobles in Prussia can have such perverted training habits.

Delaney's heart was filled with storm. He began to make a self-judgment about Gordon. He finally made a decision in response to the telegrams sent from the country before!

There is no doubt that Gordon is an excellent commander who is loyal to his career and of course to the British Empire!

The Queen will trust him, the Parliament will trust him, and Emperor Tongzhi will trust him even more, otherwise there would not be such a position for him!

But Delaney is different from Gordon. Gordon is more loyal to the interests of the British Empire. While Delaney is loyal to Britain, he also has to give priority to former Prime Minister Benjamin!

At this banquet, he had an important secret mission, which was to inspect Gordon!

The telegram from the House of Lords is true, but the publisher of the telegram was actually Benjamin. He used the contacts of his colleagues in the House of Lords to send this strange assessment telegram!

While understanding the combat readiness of the Xishan Camp of the Qing Empire, they also need to have a basic judgment on Gordon, that is, how many loyalty is Gordon to Emperor Tongzhi?

If a civil war broke out between Prince Gong and Emperor Tongzhi broke out, what would Gordon fight? If Benjamin issued an order to him that was not conducive to Emperor Tongzhi during the war, would Gordon carry out this?

In the final analysis, Benjamin has already started betting on Prince Gong Yi. He wants to know if Gordon will change his course, Yi Zhang, and will you be determined to follow Zai Chun to the end!

The result of Delaney's temptation was finally obtained. He saw his love for this army from Benjamin's proud expression, and also his loyalty to Emperor Tongzhi!

Delaney knew very well that Gordon was loyal to the British Empire because it was his motherland, his motherland, if the Queen or Parliament made a decision, he issued a formal order to him.

Then Gordon would not disobey the order, because he was still a British man after all!

But what if this order was not issued by the Queen and Parliament? What if it was just the selfishness of a prime minister, what if it was a private order?

So, will Gordon betray Emperor Tongzhi for the sake of an ambitious man? This question is worth thinking about, and Delaney made a negative judgment at this moment!
