Chapter 357 Glory is my life(1/2)
Ouyang Shuo came to the hall and the military discussion officially began.
The theme of this military discussion is actually very clear, which is to discuss the arrangements for the reorganized three divisions.
Determining the candidates for the three division commanders is only one aspect.
More importantly, the territory has increased its organization of three divisions, and the existing four divisions have already been provided with the conditions to form a military unit that is one level higher than the division - the Legion.
According to the organization, four divisions form a legion. Unlike the division, the legion does not have direct troops, but only the legion commander himself and is equipped with a personal guard battalion.
If the division is the mainstay of the army, then the legion is a truly large army. It is the highest-level military unit in the army besides the army.
And as usual, the army group was temporarily formed by several legions during wartime.
Therefore, the legion is actually the highest-level military unit in the army.
Often, a legion is enough to dominate a local war.
To form such an important military unit, we must naturally be very cautious.
It can even be said that the formation of the legion can be regarded as a milestone event in the territory's army.
Ouyang Shuo has already made a secret draft on how to form a legion.
At the beginning of the military discussion, Ouyang Shuo was left behind and did not immediately announce the formation of a legion.
In the army sequence, there is such a special force that is always at the highest level of the army, and its position is unshakable, that is, the guards directly belong to the lord.
Guards and national protection artifacts are also.
In the past life, a lord described this unit like this: the Guards are the sword in the hands of the lord, spreading the lord's reputation, defending the lord's glory, and being the most dazzling star in the crown.
"Glory is my life" is the most vivid portrayal of the Guards.
The current Imperial Guard Brigade belongs to one of the Guards.
Excluding the city defense forces, the field army alone has approached the 100,000 mark. With such a huge army, the Guards only have a pitiful guard brigade, which is obviously not consistent with their strategic positioning.
Therefore, the first thing Ouyang Shuo needs to do is to reshape the Guards system.
The first one to use the sword was the Imperial Guard Brigade.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the Imperial Guard Brigade to be renamed Yulin Guard, which was organized by the three thousand Yulin Guards. The chief general of Yulin Guard was specially appointed as General Yulin and was the leader of the same division.
Wang Feng was the first general of Yulin.
The appointment of Wang Feng did not cause any trouble in the army.
From the establishment of the personal guards, to the upgrading to the personal guard camp, to the establishment of the imperial guard brigade, Wang Feng has always played the role of Ouyang Shuo as the "personal guard captain" from beginning to end.
As General Yulin, who else can be the only one who is Wang Feng?
Yulin Guard, to put it bluntly, is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard force.
Usually, the Yulin Guard is responsible for guarding the Hou's Mansion.
During the war, the Yulin Guard was Ouyang Shuo's personal army. Wherever Ouyang Shuo went, the Yulin Guard would follow him.
The establishment of Yulin Guard is not just about changing a name.
Ouyang Shuo clearly stated that all members of the Yulin Guard must pass special combat training, pass the assessment and have excellent grades before they can be selected.
The Yulin Guard is the special forces in the army.
All members of the Imperial Guard Brigade who are eliminated in the first round of assessment will not be selected as Yulin Guard. In addition to special combat training, Ouyang Shuo also put forward two hard requirements for the selection of Yulin Guard members.
First, the minimum standard for the Yulin Guard rank is the tenth-level elite soldiers.
Secondly, the qualifications of Yulinwei must not be lower than those of Class B, otherwise they will not be accepted.
Such a high threshold has created the reputation of Yulin Guard.
Ouyang Shuo also imposed strict restrictions on the establishment of the Yulin Guard.
For a long time in the future, the Yulin Guard will maintain a 3,000-person rank. The only way to join the Yulin Guard is to have casualties and fill the gap.
Ouyang Shuo's goal is to make the Yulin Guard not only equal to a division in status, but also equal to a division in combat effectiveness, and even worse.
This requires every member of the Yulin Guard to be able to be one for three, or even one for four.
Recently, the second batch of immigrants have arrived in Yazhou.
Members of the Imperial Guard Brigade will return to Shanhai City with the North Sea Fleet to undergo reorganization.
Their first task is to complete the remaining special combat training at the training base.
Where are the members eliminated from the Imperial Guard Brigade transferred?
This involves the second-level Guards constructed by Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the formation of the Imperial Guard Corps.
The Imperial Guard Corps was directly commanded by Ouyang Shuo and was usually responsible for guarding the royal city. It was also the Shanhai City, the last and the strongest line of defense.
During wartime, the Imperial Guard Division was the absolute main force of the battle map.
In the future, all the members of the Yulin Guard will be selected from the Imperial Guard Division. The members of the Imperial Guard Division will be selected from major field divisions, just like the previous Imperial Guard Brigade.
The selection criteria are exactly the same as those of the previous Imperial Guard Brigade.
If the Yulin Guard is Ouyang Shuo’s personal guard unit, then the Imperial Guard Division is Ouyang Shuo’s personal guard unit.
The two add up to form Ouyang Shuo's indestructible guards.
In fact, in the Ouyang Shuo system of Guards, there are two levels, one up and the other.
However, with the current conditions of the territory, there is no need to build these two levels of guards, so this is not necessary. Only when the time is ripe can the plan be implemented.
Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly chose Lin Yi as the candidate for the division commander of the Imperial Guard Division.
Undoubtedly, among the various divisions, the Imperial Guard Division is the most dazzling.
Some people are puzzled by the fact that Junhou has arranged a young general who is not a senior military general to serve as such a prominent position.
Look, as soon as Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, the hall was already full of discussion.
The generals had no objection to the efforts of the Junhou to build the Guards. What they didn't understand was just the candidate for the division commander of the Imperial Guards Division.
Not that no one is moved by this position.
Even special generals like Shi Wansui and Elai were a little moved, especially Elai.
But in the eyes of meticulous people like Bai Qi and Du Ruhui, it seems normal.
Since he is the Guards of Junhou, whether it is General Yulin or the commander of the Imperial Guards Division, they are only responsible for the daily management of the army.
During the war, the guards were directly commanded by the lords.
Therefore, both positions seem to be prominent, but both lack the opportunity to stand alone. It is no surprise that a young general will be appointed as the division commander.
This not only strengthens the king's control over the Guards, but also takes the opportunity to train young generals.
This kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?!
In fact, Ouyang Shuo's favorite candidate was Luo Shixin, the commander of the Second Division.
Luo Shixin is not only brave in combat, but also has a high character, but is the most suitable candidate.
Unfortunately, the Second Division had passed the legion trial and was completely branded as Luo Shixin. Therefore, Luo Shixin could not leave the Second Division easily, otherwise he would fail.
After weighing the trade-offs, Ouyang Shuo settled down and chose Lin Yi.
After receiving the appointment, Lin Yi was both excited and nervous.
The speculative gazes of the generals around Lin Yi felt a little uneasy.
Even so, Lin Yi still has to thank Junhou for his trust in him. As for his colleagues’ doubts, refuting with verbal arguments is the most powerless way. The only way is to prove himself on the battlefield.
In the army, they always speak with their fists.
************
After the formation of the Imperial Guard Division, in fact, there were only two divisions left.
Ouyang Shuo also made arrangements for these two divisions.
Ouyang Shuo announced that the Longxiang Legion would be formed by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Divisions.
The dragon is the supreme.
The Longxiang Legion represents the First Legion of Shanhai City.
The future legions will be formed in order of Tiger Ben, Leopard Tao, Flying Bear, Eagle Yang and Feng Xiang.
The Shanhaicheng Army will also officially break away from the digital organization of the first and second. Each legion has a unique name.
After passing the Legion Trial, each Legion will also have a unique flag.
General Bai Qi was not favored by everyone and officially served as the commander of the Longxiang Legion. As for the candidates for the division commander of the Four Majors, all remain unchanged.
At this point, Bai Qi truly mastered the most powerful military force in the Shanhai City Army.
The name of the general is truly worthy of his name.
The headquarters of the Dragon Horse Legion is located in the Mulan Fortress, which is still under construction.
