Chapter 678: Longtou Island's Army Reconstruction Plan
After the full moon feast, the panda did not return to Tarakhan immediately, but was dragged by Unieluo to Longtou Island again.
This time, Yunero asked him for help to carry out military reforms among the Lizardmen.
The military system of the lizard people is very primitive, and it still stays in the situation where the village chief or elders lead the team, and each village has its own group. This military system can increase the cohesion of small troops, but it is chaotic and inefficient for large-scale use of troops. Not only that, such an army is prone to the situation of "knowing the superiors but not the superiors of the superiors", which leads to the soldiers at the grass-roots level becoming the private army of the officers. It is very likely that at a critical moment, when the country needs them, they will not only fail to obey. Orders, but will obey the orders of the officers, harming national interests.
Therefore, Yunero is determined to reform and promote the modernization or at least modernization of the military system, and truly establish an army that belongs to the country.
"I think you think too much." After listening to his introduction, Panda shook his head and said disapprovingly, "The lizardmen's admiration for you is not fake, how could they obey the orders of the officers and betray you in turn? "
"This is not my problem, but the country's problem!" Yunero said solemnly, "I believe they are loyal to me, but... I am immortal, and I don't really need to worry about whether the soldiers are loyal or not. Problem. So I value their identity and loyalty to the country more than their loyalty to me. Now these soldiers listen to me, but they also listen to the village chief and elders. At the critical moment, if there is no me Orders, they are likely to feel that the orders of the village chiefs and elders are more important than military orders; they feel that the interests of the village are more important than the interests of the country - this is not acceptable!"
"You feel a little paranoid..." Panda couldn't help sighing, "How can things be so serious!"
"It's not a question of whether it's serious or not," Uniono said. "It's a question of right or wrong. The military shouldn't be the officers' personal soldiers, should it?"
Panda nodded: "That's right..."
"It's fine. Since it's true, let's start promoting the reform of the military system!"
Seeing his enthusiastic look, Panda sighed.
This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, is not very reliable...
But now that Yuneruo has made up his mind, Panda doesn't plan to confront him - to be honest, Panda himself is a little curious, what is the so-called "modernization of the military"?
He is not a military enthusiast, nor does he know much about the military system. Although he knows how the modern army is formed, how can he directly pull an army that is still in the era of village chief leadership to the modern level?
Panda is curious.
Yunero satisfied his curiosity and took out a rather thick document, the name of the document was "Longtou Island Army Reorganization Plan".
In this document, Yunero wrote in detail how he was going to organize the army on Longtou Island. In general, his army reorganization plan is divided into the following parts:
First, disrupt.
The original army of Longtou Island was composed of villages. He planned to disrupt this organization, and the soldiers were completely organized according to their physique and arms.
Seeing this, Panda couldn't help but ask, "Aren't those soldiers grouped according to their physique and arms in the past?"
"Only the most important Tiger Ben army is." Yuneruo said, "As for the general soldiers and archers, they are organized according to the village."
"Why? Because of convenience?"
"Convenience is only one reason, but also the consideration of identity... The appearance of the lizardmen is much more obvious than that of humans. The appearance of the lizardmen in each village is significantly different. Let them take the village as a unit. The establishment, in the era of the initial structure of the army, can effectively enhance their unity. It can also avoid those situations of xenophobia."
The panda was stunned for a moment and asked, "You said just now that 'the lizardmen in each village are significantly different in appearance'?"
"yes."
"But why can't I see it?"
Yunero glanced at him and shook his head: "This shows that you didn't pay attention to the thickness, luster, pattern, and distribution of the scales; the texture and inclination of the stratum corneum; and even the shape and color of the joint ends... these are all Obviously, with just a little careful observation, it becomes clear at a glance.”
Panda thought for a while, walked to the door and looked at it, and asked, "Are the soldiers patrolling outside from the same village?"
Yuneruo didn't even stand, and replied directly: "Of course not, they come from three different villages."
"So, there is a significant difference in their appearance?"
"Yeah, a clear distinction."
Panda frowned and carefully observed the soldiers who were patrolling for more than a minute before finally shaking his head and walking back.
"Honestly, I don't see any difference at all."
Yuneruo sighed: "You're not the first person to say that, Skye, Mundu, and Lana all said that."
"Then you still think they are obvious at a glance?"
"I really think so." Yunero said, "But for you, you can also judge by the decoration of their armor."
Panda recalled for a while and nodded. He did remember that the soldiers' armors were very different in some details, which was an obvious feature.
"Distinguishing soldiers by armor rather than appearance is also for the sake of you who are blind." Yuneruo said, "In this way, after the army is organized, at least when you see the armor, you will know which army the soldier in front of you is from. Command It's much easier to get up."
"Not before?"
"Of course not. In the past, their armor was divided according to the village."
"In that case, the whole army is really necessary..."
Panda nodded and continued to read the document.
The second step in Yuneruo's army is education.
"You plan to make all the soldiers literate?!" Panda was startled when he saw it. "This is about 2,000 people! Where are you going to find so many teachers?"
"Teach the officers first, and let the officers teach the soldiers after the officers are basically literate." Yunero said, "Isn't it written on my document."
Panda flipped through the document, and sure enough, it said these plans on the next page.
However, he is still not optimistic about Yuneruo's plan. Reading and literacy is not an easy task. Even if it is the simplest "literacy", it requires at least one or two months of concentrated study. It also requires students to be diligent and capable a certain level of intelligence.
He did not doubt the diligence of these lizardmen, but he was not optimistic about their intelligence level at all.
As we all know, the average intelligence of the lizardmen is indeed slightly lower.
Locke has been operating in the northern region of Tara Khan for several years, and he has only taught hundreds of students with a certain culture. At best, ordinary civilians can understand their names and some simple commands.
With Yunero's impatience, Panda is not optimistic that he can teach the lizardmen...
