Chapter 683 Opening the Back Door

Qin and Derek both knew what Franz was worried about.

Power is the most powerful thing, it can corrupt people's hearts and change their original intentions.

So instead of challenging other people's moral bottom line, it is better to prepare in advance.

Although Lister has great power, there are constraints everywhere.

Let alone the control of the Governor's Office over the militia and garrison corps, he does not directly command these division-level combat units.

Without a direct subordinate relationship, there is naturally no collusion.

The new recruits of the eight divisions are directly commanded by him, but some officers come from the local area, and some are trained locally. There are definitely not many who choose to join Lister.

The most important thing is that telegraphs can transmit information too quickly nowadays, and the spies planted by the royal family can easily report the situation in the army to the local area.

If Lister is able to lead eight new recruit divisions to rebel and then defeat the empire's anti-rebellion corps all the way, Derek should take the initiative to abdicate.

Nonsense, one of his sons is so powerful, either he is cheating or he is the son of destiny.

This kind of power is enough to overthrow the system of primogeniture and eliminate all adverse effects. What secular rules are there?

But obviously, these do not exist, so the huge power is given by the love of his father and elder brother.

For Lister, it also has special meaning.

No matter how many games and calculations are hidden behind, at least at this time, he feels the heavy family affection.

After all, not everyone can get such great power.

Even Sergei, the commander of the guards, waited for Qin to come to the New World in name, but before there was an unexpected collapse, he could not get such a degree of decentralization.

A series of experiences have completely made Lister walk out of the shadows.

A scholar dies for his confidant, let alone his father and brother.

Especially the birth of Elvis is of great significance to him.

He wants to clear the obstacles for his nephew, and when the next generation succeeds to the throne, he can also hold his head high and say that his uncle defeated all the enemies for you in the past, and now you only need to be responsible for the good years.

He is definitely the one who supports Elvis the most, because the continuation of the eldest son inheritance system and the smooth transfer of power in the empire have given him the power to breathe freely.

So Lister now is like two different people from Lister a year ago.

He is now sharp and sharp, and he is always thinking about showing his style.

After the introduction, Franz didn't have time to get close to him, and Lister began to give orders.

"Take me to the recruit training camp first, I want to summon the generals in the training camp."

Those who are responsible for the training of recruits are all generals directly appointed by the military.

The separation of military power in the Great Xia Empire has been implemented since before the founding of the country.

The local government and even the military chief have no power to recruit even one soldier.

The military chief is simply a military chief, and there is no opportunity to cultivate his own lineage.

Moreover, training recruits is itself a professional matter. It is easy for each recruit to recruit and train soldiers of varying quality, but unified modular training can guarantee the lower limit.

Every recruit who has gone through the recruit training process can perfectly integrate into the army.

These assigned training camp generals are professionals in this area.

Franz was a little stunned when he heard Lister's request.

Isn't this guy tired? Why does he have to work as soon as he comes?

He had heard of Lister before, but Lister was low-key and forbearing at that time, and he hardly left any impression.

Seeing that Franz had not responded for a long time, Lister was a little unhappy and said again: "I want to inspect the recruit training camp and meet with the generals of the training camp. Is there any problem?"

Franz woke up as if from a dream and quickly replied: "No problem, I will arrange it immediately, but the recruit training camp is directly under the military, and I can only send someone to contact it."

Of course, he dared not guarantee it. These generals directly under the military are considered senior professional talents. They all have court titles on their heads, and they don't care about a playboy like him.

Don't forget, no matter how he whitewashes, with the prestige of the old marquis in the military, he is also an unfilial son and grandson, who has lost his own housekeeping skills.

Lister did not continue to embarrass Franz, who did not have the power, but he did!

He believed that the military's order must have arrived before his, and those generals would execute the order.

For Franz, this was also an opportunity to intuitively feel the power that Lister had.

The military generals who had always ignored him took the initiative to visit him after getting the exact news.

Sure enough, the news from the Army Department had arrived long ago.

When Lister showed the documents he carried with him, the generals of the training camps stood at attention and saluted instantly.

"Sir Lister, the five recruit training camps are running at full capacity, and one division of recruits can be compensated every month. Now four divisions of recruits have completed basic training and are waiting for reorganization and preparation."

The latest data from the training camp made Lister nod with satisfaction.

These people are worthy of being the elites of the empire, and they are very strong in their professional abilities.

A few months ahead of time, they have completed the initial framework construction and started to produce new recruits steadily.

It will take at most three or four months for the eight divisions to be fully staffed.

This is the mobilization ability of the Great Xia Empire.

Lister immediately ordered: "After I finish the review, directly form a new army with regiments as units, first build the framework, and then slowly fill it.

In addition... find a place for me, I want to run a temporary officer training class, recruit a group of students with a solid foundation, train grassroots officers, and enrich the new army."

Lister was not interested in the first half of the sentence, but the second half made him instantly energetic.

The eight divisions have a great demand for officers, and it is impossible to transfer them all from the mainland.

It is inevitable to transfer a group of officers from the local organization of the New World and other corps.

Then there is this temporary training class. The so-called students with disciples basically report their ID cards directly.

The children of local tyrants and even a few New World nobles are students with a solid foundation.

This is the back door opened for them, otherwise why so many people have worked so hard?

The big head soldier will always be a big head soldier, even if he has made meritorious service, he can't be awarded a title.

So they want to seek the identity of a group of middle and low-level officers, not only to ensure their own safety, but also to have the hope of being awarded a title and meritorious service.

This was a loophole deliberately opened by the imperial officials to vent the emotions of local tyrants and prepare to incorporate them into the imperial sequence and make them work for the royal family.
