Chapter 159 Orc Spy

Limited by the cultural level of his officers, Richard has no staff officers in his army.

To become a qualified chief of staff, one must at least have a certain cultural level, know how to make and read maps, know the innovation and development of equipment, know logistics, know how to organize and train, know how to analyze and collect intelligence, know how to use personnel, and most importantly, know how to fight.

The requirements for the chief of staff are so high that it is necessary to select officers with high cultural level, basic mathematics, rich combat experience, research on war organization, and the ability to identify talents.

In the entire Harland territory, only Richard can barely do the work of the chief of staff.

Richard is the commander of the army and it is impossible for him to do the work of the chief of staff. If the staff system is set up for refined management, he will be exhausted and can't finish the work.

So even though Richard is working in the right direction, it is difficult to achieve refined management and establish a staff system in a short period of time.

Military medical staff are easier to train.

Adrian's hospital has trained more than a dozen doctors, many of whom are selected from soldiers. The territory hospital also follows the main force and can be said to be a military hospital. The military medical staff that can be selected from the surgeons should be competent.

There is no shortage of qualified military law staff, and each squadron has a military judge.

Intelligence staff is also relatively easy to train, and each noble has intelligence personnel under his command.

The most critical thing is the logistics and combat staff, which are difficult to train.

There are very few people who master basic mathematics in the territory now, and almost no one can do the work of logistics staff. Richard even has to use a lot of businessmen to count the materials needed by the army.

If you want to set up logistics staff, you must at least wait for the talents trained by Riverbank Primary School to graduate.

The same is true for combat staff. Students who have learned geography, understand maps, and understand contour lines have graduated, and then experienced wars, before they can be considered qualified combat staff.

By this year, Richard has established four departments: military medicine, military law, intelligence, and training, serving as assistants in military management.

These four departments are already the most primitive staff.

Adrian, head of the military medical department, Hayden, head of the intelligence department, Graham, head of the military law department, and Frank, head of the training department.

Richard assigned these four aspects of work to four assistants.

Adrian did a good job in the hospital and was already a qualified military medical chief.

Hayden's intelligence work was still bumpy, but the most important thing in intelligence work was trust. He was Richard's brother, so he could only do this job for the time being, and he could barely take on the burden of military intelligence work.

Graham had always been the military judge of the territory, and this appointment made his position more formal.

The military judges of the Harland Territory were mainly selected from the backbone of disabled veterans, just like the main legion. The military judges had considerable authority, and in addition to commending merits, they also had the authority to punish soldiers.

However, the military judges had to accept the supervision of the soldiers when commending merits and punishing evil.

Once the military judges were corrupt and unfair in rewards and punishments, they would be executed immediately as long as they were verified, and their direct relatives would be enslaved for generations.

With Richard watching, no one dared to do this for the time being.

The Dawn Plane was a world where great power belonged to itself. As long as the commander was strong, he had great power. Connections were far less important than strength. In this world, strength could decide everything.

As long as Richard often goes to the grassroots to supervise and meet with ordinary soldiers, he can suppress bureaucracy to a large extent. However, lords who can often go to the grassroots are still relatively rare.

Frank was originally a formal officer of the Grizzlies Corps. He was captured by the orcs and became a slave. Later, he successfully escaped and became the leader of the refugees. He had been in charge of logistics before.

Frank was not well educated, and it was particularly difficult to manage logistics during wartime. Now Richard is in charge of logistics, and Frank was arranged by Richard to manage the training of new recruits.

The remaining combat, supply, organization, weapons research and development and other staff departments need to wait for talents to be trained before they can be established.

Without talents, Richard can only endure inefficient management.

Although the management of the army is inefficient, Richard personally watches it and it is not chaotic. Compared with other lords, the organization of the army in the Harland Territory is already higher.

As for the Orc Empire, the inefficiency of the army has always been a structural problem. An orc legion needs to command more than a dozen or even dozens of orc soldiers to fight. Because of different vocal organs, the Orc Empire even finds it difficult to promote a unified language.

Therefore, when the orc army was commanding the battle, they were often confused.

Both sides continuously sent troops to conduct reconnaissance, and a brutal scout-stranglehold war broke out outside Fort William, and the intelligence on the battlefield became clearer.

In the end, it was the Harland Territory that could not bear the casualties of the scouts, reduced the frequency of reconnaissance, and gave up the battlefield intelligence rights.

In the orc barracks, because of the aerial scouts, the orcs had a clearer understanding of the battle situation.

Through aerial reconnaissance, the intelligence of the Harland Territory was quickly discovered by the orcs.

Through the cultivated farmland, the number of houses, and the number of water wheels, the orcs can roughly estimate the population and military strength of a territory.

A few years have passed, and there has been a tight defense line near the Platos Mountains.

Like in previous years, it has become difficult to enter the Eagle Mountains from the valley near the Platos Mountains.

The last time the orcs invaded, they were hit by heavy catapults in the Grant Kingdom, and the losses were not small.

There are many smart people in the Orc Empire. By studying the wreckage of the captured heavy trebuchet, they successfully imitated the counterweight trebuchet.

The invasion of the Orc Empire has lasted for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, human craftsmen have been captured continuously. Although their productivity is not as good as that of the Grant Kingdom, they have accumulated a lot of experience in mechanical engineering technology.

As long as the window paper is broken, it is not difficult to manufacture a counterweight trebuchet.

Even with the orcs' craftsmanship, it took only two months to copy it.

The counterweight trebuchet is a powerful weapon for siege. With this new trebuchet, the orcs are more advantageous in strategic situation.

In the military meeting tent, the orc officers stood around the table with serious expressions, staring at a simple map.

Gunderson pointed to the direction of Fort William and said: "According to the intelligence brought by the eagle patrol officer, the land near Fort William has a population of more than 40,000, and the number of craftsmen is also very considerable. As long as we can plunder this land, we can complete the task this year.

Orlan, how much intelligence have you investigated about this territory?"

Orlan is a human, but he serves as an orc intelligence officer.

The orcs have been capturing human slaves in large numbers for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, humans have thrived in the Orc Empire. Although their status is not high, their population has also grown greatly.

The total population of human slaves and tribes living in the Orc Empire is larger than that of the Grant Kingdom.

Even with their low status, the human population in the Orc Empire is estimated to be tens of millions.

The orcs are afraid of humans and suppress the development of humans in their territory. If there are too many humans, let the carnivorous orcs eat some. Limit the population size and suppress the extraordinary power of human tribes.

However, the war has not been going well in the past few hundred years. In order to strengthen the national strength, they have gradually begun to use the power of human tribes to cultivate human spies.

Especially in the intelligence system, the orcs have used a large number of human spies to gather intelligence.

Many of the orcs' spies are even planted in Nolan to infiltrate the core of the Grant Kingdom.

Orlan is a human intelligence officer that the orcs trust more. He is responsible for managing more than a hundred spies. His intelligence network is spread across the northern border area, and his intelligence reconnaissance ability is quite good.
