Chapter 712: Military Parade Plan

The next day Roland got up very late as usual, and when he woke up, Anna beside him was gone, only a few strands of fine flaxen hair falling from the crook of his arm, and a reassuring light fragrance.

There was a breakfast next to the bedside table, apparently she brought it from the kitchen, and there was a note on the plate with a short line of writing on it: "I know you like to sleep late, so I won't eat with you. "

At this time, she can still remember her work and get up on time... It can only be said that she is indeed a serious person.

Roland shook his head helplessly, turned over and got out of bed. Even if the castle is full of heating, leaving the comfortable bed in winter is still a difficult process. The wooden basin that Anna washed was still emitting a slight heat, so he simply washed his face with the remaining warm water in the basin, picked up his breakfast, and walked lightly to the office on the third floor.

Pushing open the office door, Barov and Edith were already waiting for him inside. Nightingale stayed in the old place - on the exclusive recliner by the fireplace, while reading witch comics, while chewing dried fish, her expression of satisfaction looked the same as usual.

"It's so early today?" Roland pretended to be nonchalant and greeted casually, "Sit down and talk about anything."

"Ahem," the head of the city hall cleared his throat, as if he had long been used to it, "Your Majesty, the logistical preparations for the attack on the extreme south have been completed, and the recruitment of reserve soldiers has also gone smoothly. The number of people is expected to reach 7,000, which is an unrivaled force in Graycastle."

"It's just in Graycastle," Edith interrupted abruptly, "Your Majesty is not going to deal with those stupid knights and nobles."

Roland smiled, and opened the report on the table, "Indeed, if you want to fight against the devil, you can't stop population expansion and army building. As long as production is not affected, the more soldiers the First Army recruits, the better." .”

Although slightly dissatisfied, Barov had no choice but to say yes when the king had already spoken, and at the same time glared at Pearl of the North.

According to common sense, such things as soldier recruitment and combat preparation logistics should be done by the First Army itself, but most of Iron Ax and his generals are from humble backgrounds, leading troops to fight may be okay, and they know nothing about financial and administrative management up. Therefore, issues related to money and food still had to be completed by Barov.

In the future, when the scale of the First Army is further expanded, this kind of staffing will obviously be unsustainable - the simple management framework that was originally established with a slap in the face can no longer meet future development. Perhaps it is time to make a new round of reforms to the military system .

Roland turned his attention back to the report. According to the plan drawn up by Iron Axe, about 1,000 soldiers would attack the extreme south - 500 veterans from Neverwinter would join the 500 new recruits stationed at Falling Dragon Ridge , and then proceed to Iron Sand City along the Yinchuan Oasis.

As long as two 152mm fortress guns are carried along, such troops should not have much problem in conquering Iron Sand City. However, the key to conquering the sand people is not to conquer the city, but the holy duel. Therefore, the role of the First Army is more to escort and maintain order.

The logistical work of a thousand people's expedition is already handy for the city hall, and the details involved are becoming more and more complete. The situation in the past that required one-by-one instructions in person is gone forever, and some details even exceeded his expectations. The range is obviously the experience accumulated after several actual battles.

"Very well, let's do this." Roland closed the report and looked at the Pearl of the Northland. "Do you have anything else to say?"

If it was just to report on logistics, Edith probably wouldn't have come with Barov.

She has never been the kind of person who likes to take credit.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Edith nodded, "I heard from Iron Ax that you plan to hold an artillery drill?"

"Well, that's right."

"What I'm thinking is... can the people of Neverwinter join in watching?" Her second sentence made Roland's eyes light up, "If your people can witness such a spectacular scene, it should be a great deal Raise their enthusiasm for joining the army, and they will definitely have full confidence in fighting against the devil in the future."

"How can people participate in this kind of thing?" Barov frowned. "It's not like you haven't seen the scene of explosives exploding. What if they are scared out of their wits and think it's God's punishment?"

"That's also a divine punishment under His Majesty's control. As long as we do a good job of publicity, such fright can be minimized," Edith said bluntly, "Even a fief lord will occasionally hold public martial arts demonstrations. Decide which knight is more brave and good at fighting. In addition to having some fun for the nobles, it also has the intention of declaring force to the people."

"A cannon is not a wooden gun in the hands of a knight!"

"We can divide the viewing positions on the city wall and send the police to maintain order. Considering the limited seats, it is a more reasonable choice to enter the venue with a ticket - the ticket price of two silver wolves can prevent the crowd from flocking, and can Add an extra income." Edith talked eloquently, obviously having considered the proposal comprehensively, "In addition, the onlookers should also be screened, and the age of ticket buyers should be between fifteen and thirty years old , These are also the main personnel of various industries in Neverwinter City in the future. Improving their beliefs will help to fight the battle of God's will. And some key departments, such as the personnel of the city hall, I think they should be compulsorily involved..."

Roland was quite moved. Isn't this just a military parade? Being able to link live ammunition military parades with performances, earning money without lacking in political sensitivity, the talents that are lacking in military reform may be right in front of us.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "It sounds good, just do as you say."

Neverwinter really needs some exciting news.

*******************

When Mei passed the square with a basket full of bird-kiss mushrooms, she found that the place was full of people. Even if there was light snow floating on their heads, it did not prevent everyone from gathering around the notice board.

She followed curiously, and saw the propagandist yelling loudly in the crowd, "His Majesty the King will hold a public artillery drill in three days, just west of the city wall area, the front line against evil beasts! I want to witness it with my own eyes." How did the latest weapon of the First Army blow up the evil beast? Do you want to feel the shock of the wrath of the sky? Go to the city hall to sign up now! As long as you meet the conditions, with your ID card and two silver wolves, you can You can get the opportunity to appreciate the heroic fighting spirit of the people in the western region at close range! The space is limited, and the opportunity is rare, if you miss it, you will have to wait until next winter!"

Is this another new idea conceived by His Majesty? Even the promotional words are so unique, May curled her lips, and Carter would probably be very interested in it. But there is no need for her to go to the city hall to buy tickets. As the chief knight, she will definitely be able to attend this exercise with His Majesty.

As for herself, she never liked these things related to fighting.
