Chapter 450： Headmaster took office two

Since the establishment of the Northwestern Industries Company and the Customs Union, the relationship between Arda and other territories has become increasingly close, and the newly incorporated Emden Territory has gradually calmed down. Arda's armed forces face less and less defense pressure on land.

So a voice appeared in Huxin Town, that is, to abolish the army.

"For an earl, six thousand officers and soldiers are a bit too much."

"If you continue like this, the surrounding lords will have concerns about you."

"Your army does not produce, but spends a lot of money and food every year."

Lord Paul Greiman is surrounded by such sounds every day.

And the latest situation in the territory also forced the lord to start taking such suggestions seriously.

Threats on land are virtually non-existent, and trade by sea is thriving. The prosperity of the route from the Northwest Gulf to the Horn Bay has attracted a large number of desperadoes. Pirates are like weeds, and after a short period of time, another crop will grow again, and the lords on the nearby land are not like the Northwest Gulf. His neighbors were so accommodating that they allowed the navy of Arda to come ashore and wipe out the weeds.

In this case, military spending must be tilted in favor of the navy.

So after many discussions between Paul and the heads of various departments, a major adjustment to the army was quickly released.

Except for the First Infantry Battalion stationed in Huxin Town, the other seven infantry battalions were all converted into semi-organized battalions, only half of the soldiers and most of the officers were retained, and the other half of the soldiers and a small number of officers were retired from active service and reassigned to production positions go up. But this does not mean that they withdrew from Arda's armed force system, but transferred to the reserve service and still retained their ranks.

Not only this group of soldiers who have retired from active service, but also the soldiers who have been demobilized before will also be included in the reserve service, and the demobilized soldiers from now on will also enter the reserve service, and they will not be able to truly withdraw from Arda until they are over fifty years old. armed system.

The positioning of the reserve service is a bit similar to that of the militia, and it is a strong supplement to the active forces. Like the militia, the reserve personnel are engaged in ordinary work on weekdays and undergo regular military training. However, the militiamen do not have military ranks, while the reserves do. Most of the militiamen have only experience in using cold weapons, while most of the reservists have experience in using hot weapons. In the event of a tense battle situation, reservists will be re-conscripted into active duty.

At this point, Arda's armed forces were officially divided into four major components: the active army and navy, the army and navy reserve, the internal guards, and the militia.

Because the Government Administration Council is vigorously promoting education, most of the officers and soldiers transferred to the reserve service have entered education positions. Now Arda has very low requirements for the content of primary education, basically reading, writing and arithmetic. Arda has always attached importance to education. The officers and soldiers of the Dali army are fully qualified for such positions, and there are even many "high-level talents" who are proficient in trigonometric functions and can solve multivariate and multiple equations.

Boris Makarov was a lieutenant officer who was transferred to the reserve.

One day, the instructor in the battalion talked to him, because of his good performance on the battlefield, the troops decided to reward him. The instructor gave him two options. One is to maintain his current military rank and enter the Gleiman Military Academy for a long-term systematic study without examination. The other is to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant and transferred to the reserve to work in other places. He will be arranged as the principal of a newly opened public school.

…

At that time, Makarov did not hesitate, and chose to enter the military academy to study on the spot.

But his family members strongly urged him to choose another path after learning of the situation in a letter from home. In the end, Makarov chose to respect the wishes of his family.

Mainly because his wife is particularly enthusiastic about her husband being able to serve as the principal. Because under the policy of the Government Administration Council that pays special attention to education, the principals of schools all over the country have become respected figures in the localities. Moreover, in the Arda army, family members of officers below the battalion level cannot join the army. If the husband can be transferred to the reserve service, then the husband and wife can live together.

North Hope, or Beiwang Town, is the destination of the couple's trip.

This is a new town with a population of about 2,000 people, most of whom are landless farmers from the Northwest Gulf and refugees recruited from other places. Most of them work in the government-run farms run by the Government Council, which is one of the products of the Government Council's land reclamation plan. one.

The so-called land reclamation plan is to develop the vast area north of the Weiss River. It used to be full of forests, swamps and wasteland, and now a series of towns and administrative villages have been established. This is the benefit of the border lords. expand their territory on the land.

North Hope is the northernmost town. Standing on the main street of the town, you can still see the dense forest that has not been cut down in the distance, and further north is the Rocky Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles.

The mayor hosted the Makarovs in the government hall.

"Welcome, Mr. Lieutenant. With you, our school can finally be opened."

The somewhat affluent mayor of Rossellini had a red face and was obviously very happy.

He stretched out his hand to a man on crutches who was also in military uniform and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the person in charge of the local military service station..."

Makarov laughed, "No need, we know each other. Long time no see, Gernot!"

After speaking, he hugged each other tightly.

Gernot was also very excited to see the old man, and explained to the confused mayor: "We used to serve in a company, but I was injured in Emden and lost my left leg, so I quit active service early."

Makarov asked: "I was notified that I have to serve as the head of the military service station here, but I didn't expect that I would accept it.

^0^Your job, what is the reason for you to leave here? "

"My father asked me to go back and help run the tavern run by the family. He was getting old, so he had to resign."

"I see. I wish you a happy new life, Boss Gernot."

"Hahaha Don't make fun of me. By the way, how is Joss kid?"

"Oh! That kid is a high-spirited guy. He passed the exam and entered the military academy to study. Maybe I have to call him sir after he comes out!"

The mayor waited patiently for the two to finish their greetings, and then continued to introduce another person to Makarov, "This is the militia captain of Beiwang Town—Kajit."

Khajiit was a young man in his early twenties, and he looked at the two stars and one stripe on Makarov's shoulder with reverence.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Makarov."

"You can call me Lieutenant."

Makarov smiled and squeezed his hand.

Reserve officers also have the responsibility to direct the training of local militias.
