After hearing Wang Fang's words, Ge Fei and Liu Du immediately became happy.

Any army has its own distinction between elite and ordinary soldiers. Elite is the backbone of an army. In war, only elite forces are still fighting, and the army cannot be dispersed. On the contrary, if the elites perish and retreat, it may lead to the collapse of the entire army.

Building elites is not as simple as letting soldiers have enough food. Training elites is first of all, high-intensity training. Ordinary food will definitely not satisfy the training consumption. Only by eating well can you have the strength to practice.

Then, during training, armor and weapons are consumed a lot.

In addition, the salary of elite soldiers is two to three times higher than that of ordinary soldiers. In addition, various benefits during festivals can help to cultivate an elite soldier.

Therefore, this kind of training cannot be popularized in the entire army, and can only select a small part to make a tilt of various materials.

Even when Ge Fei and Liu Du led the soldiers, their subordinates had 500 people, and their treatment was different. The small amount of military expenditure they received was given priority to supply 100 of them with strong combat power.

This is the case with a 500-person division, let alone a Luoying that has been expanded to 2,000 people.

In Ge Fei and Liu Du's initial imagination, the elite of Luo Camp must have 1,000 troops from the headquarters of the Beidian Guard. Luo Camp will receive most of the military expenditure and supplies from the Ministry of War and will give most of the other two troops.

The two military marquis felt uncomfortable with this kind of material tilt, but they had no complaints. They were indeed stronger than their own soldiers, and they were the direct line, so it was appropriate to eat more. Although their two divisions were incorporated into the Beidian Guard, the label of miscellaneous brands would not be eliminated for a while.

Anyway, the treatment must be much better than before, and the two military marquis and their subordinates were still very satisfied.

However, Ge Fei and Liu Du did not expect that their new Sima would actually build their 1,000 people into elite forces.

This is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

Despite the doubts, Ge Fei and Liu Du knelt down in front of Wang Fang without any hesitation: "Ge Fei, Liu Du, thanks Lord Sima for his cultivation. From now on, I, Ge Qu, Liu Qu, will serve the work of the Lord, and only respect the orders of the Lord."

This time, Wang Fang had to pay for the training of their two divisions out of his own pocket. Ge Fei and Liu Du could certainly see the meaning of Lord Sima's recruitment.

After all, it is impossible for you to take private money to support soldiers for nothing.

Many generals will raise a unit loyal to their own people. This army is almost equivalent to the general's private soldiers. Wherever the general goes, the soldiers will follow. Even if the general leaves his post and goes home, the army will be separated from his military status and follow him for life.

In the perception of Ge Fei and Liu Du, it is difficult for him to be in Beidian Guard without a backstage.

Wang Fang is a rising star in Jiang Kingdom. Looking at the attitude of the North Palace Captain and the East Palace Captain, you will know that he will never stay in the Sima position of the fifth-rank other division for too long.

It just so happened that Wang Fang did not have his own troops. If he didn't hold his thighs in time at this time, he would probably have no chance in the future.

After all, if there are good errands or promotions, he will definitely choose among the officers and soldiers of the headquarters first.

For Wang Fang, he didn't want the soldiers he had to spend money to support and would follow others one day. With the relationship between the troops in the headquarters, after the Ministry of War understood this relationship, he would not move the army casually if he could not be transferred.

This is the unspoken rule in the army. Sima from another department raised a thousand soldiers, but adding a baron to a hundred households would not be considered too much.

Wang Fang asked Ge Fei and Liu Du to get up, and the relationship between the three of them was closer than before. Wang Fang knew that the two were not too loyal to him at this time, but at least he could feel at ease when using it.

So Wang Fang talked with Ge Fei and Liu Du about something deeper.

It is the defense of Luodao...

The Ministry of Works’ plan for Luo Island is based on a purely military aspect, and it is to use a small amount of troops to form a deterrence against Bonan County, and the main battlefield is still the offensive and defense of Taijiang.

Therefore, what Luo Island is like is not considered by the Ministry of Works. Most of the military facilities they designed focus on defense and bear more attacks to a greater extent. The idea is to be a turtle, and I hide in the fortifications and let you fight. Relying on the support of Ze County, we will fight here.

The lack of attack weapons and facilities is something that Wang Fang discovered after reading the design drawings of the department.

But Wang Fang wanted to build Luo Island into a trading market with the Scal tribe and build fortifications according to this drawing. Isn’t it just that the attacking party can attack the additional non-military buildings?

Moreover, being attacked is small, and if it is destroyed, it can be changed again. If the scale clan thinks that Luo Island is unsafe and others build another market and pull the scale clan away, it will be a big loss.

Wang Fang didn't know how to fight in this world. He wanted to discuss this matter with Chunyu Jin, but Chunyu Jin has been very busy and can't see him at all.

Ge Fei and Liu She have been stationed in Luodao for a long time, and they should have a better way to defend Luodao.

When Wang Fang expressed his worries.

Ge Fei replied: "Sir... the Ministry of Works' defense planning for Luo Island is to achieve the greatest effect with the smallest investment. After all, if a war occurs, Bonan County will not give up the front battlefield of Taijiang and use its main force to attack Luo Island.

The strategy they should use is to maintain a continuous attack deterrent to Luo Island with a small amount of troops. If you have the opportunity to capture Luo Island, you will attack with force; if you don’t have the opportunity, you can continue to destroy the facilities on Luo Island and put pressure on Luo Island, so that Luo Island cannot be a springboard for the Jiang army to attack the coast of Bonan County.

Therefore, Luo Island faces a long-term low-intensity attack, and only needs simple defense."

If the adults do not want the enemy to attack the internal facilities of Luo Island, they need more heavy defensive and offensive weapons. Force the enemy to avoid getting close to Luo Island and keep them at sea."

Finally, there was something reliable, Wang Fang asked: "What do we need?"

"Many..." Ge Fei said in detail: "First of all, we need heavy artillery. The Ministry of Works has no shock and no shock. It requires more Pegasus scrolls and also requires training Pegasus cavalry.

If there are three to five heavy warships, it would be even better to cooperate with the island's turret.

More soldiers and more painters.

Bed crossbows, armor, and weapons all need to be prepared ten times more than now.

When our military forces make Bonan County scared, they can scare them to attack and instead defend us. Before deciding on the Taijiang River, as long as we do not show a large-scale attack attitude, Bonan County will not easily distribute a large number of troops to provoke us.

But this is definitely a huge investment. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue will definitely not give this money."

Wang Fang said straightforwardly: "I'll pay this money!"

Wang Fang didn't know how to fight the war, but he knew that when the cannon fired, there was a huge amount of silver.
