Chapter 736:- New Training System
Why is she sending me a letter?" Aditya wondered. After all, he and the Princess of the Dune Sovereignty had no connection or any kind or form of contact. Aditya did not even know that she existed until a few minutes ago. 'Thinking this hard won't give me any answers.'
He sat down and opened the letter.
[Greetings!
My name is Soraya Flameheart. I am the Princess of the Dune Sovereignty Empire. I would like to congratulate you on your victory in this war. From the beginning, I had no doubt about the Istarin Empire's victory...]
Soraya was full of praises of the Istarin Empire and Aditya. Regardless, Aditya still continued reading. 'Who knows this letter may be sent by the Emperor in the name of his daughter in an attempt to repair the relationship between two Empires.' With that thought, Aditya continued reading. [I must highly praise you for your courage, strength, intelligence, and vision. Knowing your capabilities, I had no doubt that you would lead your Empire to victory. The Dragon Monarch and his Domain are unbeatable.]
[I am extremely disappointed by my father's decision to oppose the Istarin Empire and become its enemy.]
Just this one sentence made it instantly clear that this letter was not written by the Emperor using Soraya's name. Rather, it was the princess herself who wrote this letter. From this sentence, Aditya can guess that the Princess had different views and opinions than Emperor Charles and the Crown Prince. [I have a feeling that all the chaotic chain of events that starts happening in Dune Sovereignty is your doing. But rest assured, I haven't shared any thoughts with anyone yet, nor do I have any intention of doing so.]
[I know the downfall of the Dune Sovereignty started the moment my foolish brother decided to provoke you.]
"I suggest we hold Special Training Camps every three months. In these camps, a selected percentage of regular soldiers will undergo the rigorous training that our Imperial troops receive. The aim is to close the skill gap and improve the overall quality of our forces."
Spencer continued, "These camps will be tough and will mimic the harsh conditions and intense drills that our elite soldiers face. By doing this, we can ensure that our regular troops are better prepared and more effective in battle."
Aditya nodded thoughtfully as Spencer went on, "We also need to address the training methods used by the nobles in our Empire. Some may have implemented lenient and easy systems, resulting in lower-quality troops. To combat this, I propose a new baseline for recruitment, which we can call the 'Istarin Standard.' All nobles in the Empire will be required to adhere to this standard. If new recruits do not meet the criteria set by the Istarin Standard, they cannot be legally enlisted or trained as soldiers. Every month, special officers selected from the Imperial troops visit each noble's territories and confirm with their own eyes whether the new recruits meet the criteria set by the Istarin Empire. Only then the nobles will be allowed to enlist legally."
Spencer paused, letting his words sink in before adding, "Implementing these changes will ensure that all our troops, regardless of their origin, are well-trained and capable of defending our Empire effectively." Aditya nodded his head. "Now, let's discuss the New Special Training system," Spencer continued. "I propose building ten Special Training Camps just outside Azure City. Each camp will be able to accommodate 50,000 troops at a time."
Aditya listened intently as Spencer elaborated, "Since we can't send all the noble's troops to these camps at once, I suggest sending about 10 to 20% of their soldiers to the camps. The troops will rotate through the training. For example, the year will be divided into training seasons. Each year, there will be three Special Training Seasons. Once a soldier has completed one season at a Special Training Camp, they won't need to attend again until all the other troops in that noble's territory have had their turn. After that, the cycle will repeat." This meant that in a year, a total of 1.5 million troops will be trained in the special training Camps. Spencer paused for a moment to ensure Aditya was following before continuing, "This system ensures that every soldier gets the chance to benefit from the advanced training without overwhelming the camps or leaving any territory unprotected."
Spencer then added, "Your Majesty, it would be wise to meet with the seven Generals to decide on the exact training program. They can determine how the troops will be trained and what their schedule will be during their stay at the camps. This will ensure the training is both rigorous and effective."
"I feel that instead of building all ten training camps just outside of the Azure City, we should build each training camp in different parts of the Istarin Empire." "After all, the Azure City is already this big. The Azure City is the largest and most populated city in the Dying Isle Continent or maybe in the whole world. In the future, the size of the Azure City will only keep growing. Now, if we build ten training camps, each being large enough to accommodate 50,000 soldiers, a ton of space will be required. Meaning the outside of the Azure City will become very crowded. We shouldn't also forget about all the small villages scattered around the Capital. I don't want to destroy those people's home." Spencer thought for a moment and then nodded his head. Aditya's words made sense. "We can use the empty islands that the Istarin Empire has. A few training camps can be built there,"
"We could also build one in the Beast Continent. In short, we should build each training camp in different terrains. This will allow our troops to quickly adapt to fighting in various environments." Spencer nodded. This was even better than his initial suggestion. "At the end of each training camp session, we can hold competitions. The top 1,000 troops in each camp will be rewarded with cultivation resources. This way, we can ensure that only the most talented soldiers are nurtured and motivated to excel."
"Though, implementing this process is going to cost a ton of money." Spencer said after listening to Aditya's words. Aditya just waved his hand and said. "No need to worry. Gold coins is the last thing that this Empire lacks." It was time for the Istarin Empire to militarily upgrade itself to become the best in the world. ----------------
