Amun had no seat. After saluting the adults in turn, he stood in the middle of the hall waiting for questions. First of all, Eisen, the imperial Minister of military affairs, was also the head of the army in his early years. He was very experienced in marching. He asked Amun a lot of questions, and the young warrior answered them like a stream. The military can't be empty talk. Lord Eisen ordered people to bring maps, sand tables and various kinds of military performance objects to let Amun simulate how to organize the March and arrange the battle array on the spot. Amun also made a model without any flaws.
The examination lasted a whole day. After lunch, susgar, the high priest of Wangdu, also played a game of wargame with Amun, using a real sand table for military exercises. The result was also very satisfactory.
The assessment continued the next morning. All seven adults asked various questions, some of which were beyond the military scope. Amun tried his best to answer the question, then ordered to step down and wait for the result. Seven adults began to negotiate, but Maria kept silent. The final opinion was three on three, with the same number of supporters and opponents. Those who agreed with Amun as commander of the army were Essen, Wald and George, while those against him were susgar, Daya Tu Yan and Burke.
The opposition's opinion is mainly because of his origin, except that Amun has never had experience in commanding operations. Amun used to be a resident of DUK Town, a possession of the kingdom of hathi. It is doubtful whether Amun can guarantee his absolute loyalty to the Egyptian empire in the war. The two sides are in a stalemate. In the end, it depends on the views of the virgin.
Maria pondered: "after these two days' assessment, there is no doubt that Amun is suitable to be the commander of the an LA Corps. We all know in our hearts that this regiment will not participate in the real main decisive battle, but will carry out the coordinated guard and cover task. Amun is fully competent. Do you have any objection to this? "
None of the other six objected, and Maria added, "as for whether he is loyal, have you heard of his deeds? What he has done is enough to prove his noble conduct, which is why I recommend him. This man was indeed a miner in Duke town. He offered the tears of the gods and returned Nero's remains.
I don't think you don't know what happened to duke? Besides, his people were all in the hands of the Empire. According to the latest news, King Hattie claimed to have received the Oracle from enril. Have you heard of this oracle? If you were Amun, what would you think? "
There is also an episode about the latest developments in the kingdom of hathi. According to Lucier, king of hathi and the school of theology of hathi, the great God enrier has issued the latest Oracle: he used his divine power to launch the great flood, which not only punished and expelled the guilty people and washed away the sins of the earth, but also gave the people a thousand miles of fertile soil. It will become a place of blessing from the gods, instructing the people to cultivate fertile land and build a rich and comfortable home.
When the Oracle reached all parts of the Kingdom, the people were boiling with joy, especially those jobless vagrants, wandering explorers, and some poor city-state farmers of the Empire. People poured into the temple like a tide, thanking the great God enril for his blessing, and vowed to make the cultivation of the fertile soil given by the gods as a sacred cause. The altar was full of flowers and various precious tributes, and everyone was praising the greatness, kindness and solemnity of the gods.
In this boiling cheering, there is a group of forgotten people who can only silently and secretly grieve, that is, the miners in DUK town. They have been punished by the gods and rejected by the people of the kingdom. The dead, whether innocent or guilty, have no idea. But what are the feelings of those who are still living in the world?
Amun can't return to the kingdom where enril is the God. Even if he wants to, there is no room for him! What's more, the surviving people of DUK town are all living in Egypt. Amun can't and has no reason to betray.
In fact, not only did enril have an oracle, but not long ago, the king of Horus also received the Oracle from King Horus, as did the high priests in the main temple of Horus. Horus, the great God, declared that there would be a fertile land of thousands of miles in the center of Tianshu, which was a symbol of the cruelty and evil of foreign gods, and a new territory for the great ethnical Empire to establish eternal achievements. He called on his people to go there to build their homes and build real temples, so that the glory of the gods could shine on the mainland.
This Oracle became the supreme holy intention of the war launched by lacias II, and the Pharaoh himself decided to drive his own expedition. He has been planning this battle for a long time. To open up a new territory in the central part of the mainland can realize the greatest ambition of the Pharaon in his life. This Oracle has not been officially released to the people of eju, but it will be spread throughout the country when the army is officially launched. At that time, the people of eju will also pour into the temple to cheer and praise the sacred and great gods and the Pharaohs.
The situation is just as Gore said to Amun: "it can be predicted that the disputes there will also be disputes between gods, and people will drive their own desires in the name of God."
The virgin mentioned the oracle of enril, the alien god, and the story of Duke, and there was no way to refute it. Perhaps in order to dispel the doubts in everyone's mind, Maria looked around and said with a smile: "in fact, you don't have to worry too much. Although the commander of the army is the highest commander of the Legion, according to the law of the Empire, the commander of the army has the responsibility of supervising the army and supervising the war. If the head of the army wants to move the deity, he must obtain the consent of the LORD God. We only need to select a great divinity worthy of trust If the division is the commander of the Legion, it will be safe and sound. "At this time, George, the high priest of Isis temple, said with a wry smile: "marching is a hard job for the great magician, not to mention the chief god of the Allah Legion. Either it's just a decoration, or it's hard to please. I don't think many people are willing to. Thank you for your trust and promotion. I am recommended to be the high priest of Isis temple. This time, I will volunteer to be the LORD God of the army of Amra. The Ministry of finance of the Empire will not be able to deal with the other requests of the Ministry of finance
So it was settled that Amun officially became the head of the imperial Legion. Although it is only a temporary miscellaneous army, its status is still there, and his identity is equivalent to that of a city-state's deputy chief. In the following days, Amun was very busy. After taking office, he had a lot of work to deal with. He even regretted that he had sent Aesop too early.
In formal operations, the head of the army can not usually go directly to the front line to kill. He is the commander in chief of the whole army. In case of any accident, it is easy to cause the defeat of the whole front line. If she doesn't agree to the position of the former commander of Gamon, she needs to find a suitable one for the front line.
It can also be seen from this that his majesty did not pay any attention to the Anla army, although the Military Commission formulated a march plan of coordinated operation, flank guard and cover. But in the eyes of the Pharaon, this miscellaneous army was dispensable, and the army led by his own expedition would be invincible.
However, Amun himself could not ignore Gabriel. Gabriel was Maria's most important helper. Naturally, he could not easily take Gabriel away. Moreover, the status of the guardian warrior was high, and Amun could not command at will. After all, Amun lacks enough foundation and prestige to find a former commander who is completely loyal to him and obeys his orders.
After thinking about it for a long time, Amun applied to mengfeisi city-state and recommended and promoted a man named John, the captain of the guard of he Lieshan, who had been punished and released.
As the supreme commander of the regiment, although he can not win the battle only by personal force, his personal strength and charm are still part of his prestige in the eyes of soldiers. So the head of the imperial army is usually headed by a great warrior, and the case of rod Dick is only a special case.
Amun is already a great warrior, but his strength has not really shown, it is difficult to convince those noble generals who were born in Egypt. He Lieshan's Guard commander John was an exception. He had been obedient to Amun for a long time, and had been taught and instructed by him. This time he was recommended by Amun, who promoted him from the desolate Mount Horeb to the Legion. Naturally, he would willingly obey his orders.
In addition to the former front line commander, Amun has another job to deal with by himself, that is, to form a personal guard. The regiment has this structure, but it must be prepared by the head of the army himself. The number of Pro guards is small, but it is the most elite force. Its duty is to protect the head of the army himself. Whether it is to charge to kill the enemy or break through the encirclement to escape, the personal guard should closely follow the head of the army. The captain of the guard is also directly appointed by the commander of the army himself, and other people have no right to command.
The personal guard is equivalent to a small independent private army, with no more than 100 soldiers. Although the Legion also distributes weapons and military salaries, the head of the army often provides them with better weapons and more generous rewards at ordinary times. After all, this is related to Amun's own safety. The personal guards not only need absolute loyalty, but also have the courage to fight to protect the officer.
if there are other officers, there are various conditions to appoint, but the appointment of the captain is the head of the regiment, who has the final say, no one will interfere, even if he is employed as a wandering samurai. For this reason, Amun directly appointed madanzo, a vagrant warrior from Baron, as the captain of his guard. As for the members of the personal guard, let medanzo choose among the legions.
Theo, a big businessman in mengfeisi City, finally met the newly promoted commander of the army, Mr. Amun. Amun and medanzo personally visit the door, let Theo flattered, excited even speak stuttering. Amun came to reminisce about the past, but also brought with him the order of the Lord of Memphis. He appointed Theo as the logistics Quartermaster of the an LA legion, and asked him with a smile on the wine table whether he would like to?
Theo blushed and his head was like a chicken pecking rice. He said, "yes, ten thousand will! Lord Amun, I have been looking forward to such a day, and you have not forgotten me
Theo is not a fool. He knows very well that even if a civilian businessman is rich, it is difficult to have a noble position. The best opportunity in his life is in front of him. Although there is a certain risk in organizing the army's logistics, it is no more dangerous than the soldiers on the front line. As long as he has made contributions and is recommended by the head of the army, he may be granted noble status by the king of Egypt. Glory is only one aspect, and it will be more convenient to do business in the future.
Naturally, there are military supplies officers officially appointed by the Empire, who are responsible for the handover, statistics and distribution of materials. Amun appointed Theo as the quartermaster, mainly responsible for organizing convoys and caravans outside the Legion, and transporting supplies with the Legion. He knew that the businessman had no other skills, but he was very good at it.
According to the orders of the Pharaon, the merchants of all the city states should first obey the material dispatch of the March. Theo is very familiar with this matter, and he is also the most suitable person that Amun can find.The Quartermaster was a poor man. During the war, he had the right to collect the military supplies of the city states along the way. After that, the imperial financial department would settle the accounts. There is no need to say much about the wealth of the supplies. Theo was very grateful to Amun and, in accordance with the "Convention", paid a large sum of money to amon on the spot. This time, he was generous and generous. Anyway, the wool came from the sheep and could earn many times in the future.
In terms of wealth, Amun was not short of money at all, and he refused with a smile on the spot. When Theo saw Amun refused to accept it, he was so worried that his head was sweating. After a long time of begging, the leader of the guard, medanzo, nodded and agreed to accept a gift. The main purpose was to equip the personal guards of the commander of the army with better armor and weapons. This should have been paid for by amon himself, and Theo generously did it.
As soon as all the preparations were ready, Amun was ordered by the Empire to lead the army of Amra. He took fifty magicians and five thousand warriors along the East Bank of the Nile toward the sea. The logistics logistics team is divided into two parts. The small part is the fleet, which takes charge of daily supplies by land. Most of them are loaded on ships and go to sea along the Ronnie river. The army also sends warships to escort them.
Although it is only a minor army, it is still majestic and mighty on the road. Amon's eighty bodyguards were Armored Cavalry, and five thousand soldiers were chariots, archers and heavy infantry with catapults and shields. John led the cavalry at the front and the light infantry at the end of the line. From a distance, the reflection of weapons and armor in the sun formed a sea of dots.
Amun sat in the spacious and comfortable chariot with a feeling in his heart. When he first came to Memphis, he was chased all the way, and almost died by the Ronnie river. Now, when he left here, he became a commander in chief. It is Maria who should be really grateful for her silent help and guidance. He has come to this day.
Amun did not intend to fight the legions of the kingdom of hathi, but this battle will be inevitable whether he participates or not. He just wanted to build up the merit enough to absolve the dukes and lead them back home in the future. Amun was very clear that what could be fought for in this war was not the vast fields. The marshes around Duke town had completely subsided, and it would take at least a year and a half before the marshes around Duke town could be stationed. At this time, the king of eju was a little too anxious to launch an expedition.
However, from the perspective of strategic layout, the purpose of the pharaoh was to build camp bases in the Inland Lake area, so as to occupy a favorable position in future disputes. With the flood completely receded, the whole fertile land was occupied and became the new territory of the Empire.
It seems that there is no doubt about the outcome of this war. Although Amun was in the army of eju Empire, he was not optimistic that eju could win a complete victory. The reason was very simple. He felt that lacius II looked down upon the war too much. This is a matter of life and death for many people, but in the eyes of lacius II, it is like a game.
The Pharaonic didn't know what he thought of Amun, but at least, he didn't pay enough attention to the cooperation of the Angora army. It's like throwing a chariot that is about to fall apart and let the army follow him to fight. However, Amun managed to complete the parts of the chariot to make it work normally.
The Pharaoh thought that he was unstoppable and that leading the most elite army was enough to win. However, such an important campaign between countries revealed many problems in such a link. If Amun was the commander in chief of the army, he would never treat the Anla army in such a rash way, even though its status may be very unimportant.
The speed of the Legion does not depend on how fast the chariots and horses can run, but whether the supplies of logistics and supplies can keep up. Although the transport ships were equipped with long oars, the main power at sea was sail. The regiment moved steadily along the established route, and Amun did not waste the opportunity to march along the coastline. Although he was unlikely to participate in the main decisive battle, he did not forget to drill the array along the way.
Although the cooperation among chariot soldiers, archers, spearmen, cavalry and infantry has been learned in military books and practiced on sand table, Amun has not really conducted battle field command. In the March intermission, Amun ordered the generals to command their soldiers to exercise in turn. He took medanzo to do the actual combat observation.
Not long after the formation of the Angora army, the previous training was very lax. However, to be an official Legion soldier of the Empire, the minimum requirement is to be a samurai who has practiced physical skills. The combat that these people really cooperate with should be quite powerful.
In the army of the Egyptians, there was a convention or tradition that the materials allocated by the Ministry of military affairs and military rates would be intercepted by the officers according to a certain proportion, and the rest would be paid to the soldiers. There is no need to say that military supplies can be sold for a lot if they are put on the market. The money can be used for personal use of officers, such as equipping personal guards, rewarding War Merit in private name, and buying off enemy personnel.
Generally speaking, the retention ratio is 30% by convention, and the remaining 70% is sufficient if it is distributed to the officers and soldiers below. However, the quality of equipment and the amount of military pay of the minor legions that are not taken seriously are far less than those of elite imperial legions. The proportion of officers intercepted is often much higher. This will create a vicious circle, making the Legion less effective.Amun's military training on the March certainly increased the burden on the soldiers, but on the other hand, he also showed great generosity and selflessness. He did not detain any of the military supplies distributed by the Imperial military department and the city-state, but distributed them to the soldiers. Amun kept only 10% of the 30% of the military pay that should have been controlled by him. The remaining 90% was sent to the soldiers in time, which made the officers and soldiers who had not expected to report too much to their surprise.
