Chapter 122 Thoughts
"Ha! I was the captain of the 400st Guards Division. You just invented two new weapons, and you don't know how much you know about military affairs. Why do you say that I'm not qualified to command a battalion of only [-] people? long position?
Even denying my honor as a knight?If Your Excellency Xia Lin can't give me a suitable explanation, don't blame me for following the ancient knight etiquette and proposing a duel to you! "

Fartland said with a frosty face and a half-smile.

In the eyes of the nobles in this world, soldiers are knights, knights are soldiers, and knights often regard their own glory as more important than their lives. Therefore, after Xia Lin said these words, Fartland immediately had Great response.

"It's very simple, Battalion Commander Fatland, do you know where this is?"

Xia Lin didn't change his expression on Fatland's duel threat. Among the extraordinary powers in this world, mages and knights are the two most common existences.

A mage needs extremely high talent to take up the job, but a knight doesn't have so many requirements. He only needs to train all year round and afford the cost of potions, and sooner or later he will be able to break through to the knight rank and obtain the self-magic power similar to a first-ring mage.

But knights also have their disadvantages, that is, the upper limit is not high, and the destructive power of the most powerful golden knight is only equivalent to that of a three-ring mage.

Of course, this is just talking about destructive power. In actual combat, there are too many influencing factors. Factors such as equipment, distance, timing, etc. will all affect the outcome of the battle between knights and mages.

However, Xia Lin didn't think that the unarmored Fatland could threaten him in a duel. After all, the distance between the two parties stipulated in a duel was 20 long bineys, which was almost 25 meters.

With Xia Lin's spellcasting speed honed over the course of the experiment, this distance is enough for Xia Lin to cast more than three first-level spells to quickly defeat Fatlan.

"It's the new army barracks, so what?"

Fatlan had already put his left hand on his saber, and said indifferently.

"Since it is a barracks, it follows the rules of the army. Then I have a question. In the First Guards Division, are there any junior officers who can speak casually in front of the commander without permission? Another question is to contradict What is the crime sir in the imperial army?"

Xia Lin looked at Fatlan coldly and asked, Fatlan frowned suddenly:

"It's not fully built here..."

"Battalion Commander Fatland, in the documents of the Imperial Military Affairs Office, has clearly stipulated that this area is the imperial army station, that is, the barracks.

In the barracks, there is no His Excellency Xia Lin, no Master Xia Lin, only the Deputy Commander Xia Lin!

The so-called incomplete construction is just because you haven't realized one thing - that is, you are already a battalion commander of a new army!
You are still delusional that you are the captain of the Ziyuan brigade, immersed in the glory of the past, but you don't know that the glory of the past is always used to make people remember, and it is only used to make people remember! "

Xia Lin looked straight into Fatland's eyes, interrupted his defense, and saw the obvious unnaturalness in his expression when he heard his words, which obviously hit his little mind, and continued:

"In the imperial army, the emphasis is on superiority and inferiority, and obedience to superiors.

Here I also emphasize three things, that is to obey orders!obey orders!And obey orders!
Cook!Come out and recite the military discipline regulations in Chapter 1 of the "New Army Infantry Code"! "

"Yes! Xia... sir!
Article [-] of the Disciplinary Regulations of the New Army: Unconditionally obey all orders from superiors!
Article [-]: Respect superior officers, love junior soldiers!
Article [-]: Guarantee the military capacity and ensure the sanitation of the camp!
Rule [-]: Keep it secret, stay vigilant!
Article [-]: Respond loudly and loudly with 'Yes!Sir', or 'Got it!sir! ', when in doubt, raise your hand and explain 'report!sir! '.

……

No.14: Maintain a military look while wearing a uniform, and maintain the image of the new army! "

When Cook saw that Xia Lin did not hesitate to target a knight to protect their security team, he couldn't help but feel hot. Hearing Xia Lin's order, he immediately shouted loudly in reply, went out and began to recite "New Army Infantry" The disciplinary regulations in the Code of Practice come.

As the captain of the security team, he naturally received literacy class education, and in order to be able to convince the public, he also carefully recited these regulations, so at this time he was able to recite these regulations quite fluently.

"Well, not bad! Although the basic skills are not enough, you already have the mentality of a qualified soldier! Because you have discipline in your heart!"

Xia Lin nodded appreciatively at Cook, and then turned to look at Fatlan, who looked gloomy and said nothing.

"Unconditionally obey all orders from superiors and respect superiors. This is a common military rule no matter where it is, and it is also the military rule of the new army I want to build.

Fartland Lawrence, since you accepted my appointment as the commander of the [-]st Battalion when you were at the dock, you are already a member of the New Army. You think what you are doing now is not qualified ? "

"..."

Fatlan's right hand holding the hilt loosened, but he still didn't say a word.The other three people who were traveling with him were also silent, showing no intention of speaking for their companions.

Seeing the scene gradually sinking into a cold and stiff atmosphere, Viscount Hart finally said:
"Commander Fatland, this matter is indeed your problem. Earl Stewart transferred you from the First Guards Division to the New Army to allow you to better utilize your talents and help His Excellency Xia Lin establish a new army. Army, rather than making you question the meaning of the existence of the new army.

And contradicting and questioning your superiors is a violation of military regulations no matter which army you are in. This time, it’s okay because you haven’t studied these regulations. If you still have such and such questions next time, please Remember your identity first, that is the commander of the first battalion of the new army. "

"..."

"Yes! Captain Hart!"

After being silent for a while, Fatland finally walked down the steps that Viscount Hart handed him.

There was a step acceptable to both parties, and Xia Lin also skipped this topic, and he turned to his security team and explained:

"Now I would like to emphasize Article [-] of the Disciplinary Regulations. When accepting an order from a superior, you must answer loudly 'Yes! Sir!' or 'Understood! Sir!'. If you have any questions, please Raise your hand and say 'Report! Sir!'.

In the future, there will be no one who does this in the army. Every time I find out that my salary of 50 copper bis has been deducted, I will start recruiting soldiers immediately. You guys, show me the appearance of a soldier as soon as possible! "

After Xia Lin finished speaking, he looked at the mob and saw that they were still looking at each other and hadn't recovered. He smiled faintly:
"Now everyone is deducting 50 copper bis salary this month, do you know what to do next?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Understood! Sir!"

As soon as they heard that their salary would be deducted, a group of strong men who had not yet transformed from their status as members of the security team shuddered, and immediately began to answer in a scattered manner according to Xia Lin's request.

"The sound is too low, I can't hear it!"

Xia Lin was dissatisfied with such a sparse response and continued to shout.

"Yes, sir!!"

"The voice is still too low!! If this continues, each person will deduct another 50 copper bis!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

This time the answer was much neater and louder. Xia Lin finally nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at Fatlan intentionally or unintentionally. Under Fatlan's gloomy expression, Xia Lin began to assign their subordinates to the three military chiefs .

The security guards with a high level of education were assigned to the artillery company first, and the remaining crooked melons were divided equally between the two infantry battalion commanders.

After the distribution in this way, Company Commander Lay has six platoon-level and deputy-platoon-level officers of the artillery platoon, and Kishuaan and Fartland each have seven company-platoon-level officers. It's up to them.

Viscount Hart has much more influence than Xia Lin in terms of military chiefs. As the head of the regiment, he can easily veto Xia Lin's arrangement.

Therefore, in order to ensure his own influence, Xia Lin's real position in the new army was not the deputy head of the regiment who was in charge of training affairs, but the chairman of the soldiers committee after the new army was fully established in the future.

Nothing affects an army more directly than its minds.Even the old-fashioned army will rebel because of advanced ideas related to its own interests.

What Xia Lin has to do is to control the thinking of the army and implement the theory he wants in it, which is his initial establishment of "natural human rights, national contract, and constitutional monarchy".

Natural human rights mean that people in the state of nature are born with the right to pursue survival, freedom, happiness and property.

This idea originated from the thinkers of the natural law school in Xia Lin's previous life, and it was the ideological basis of the Great Proprietary Revolution in France in his previous life.

In this world, Xia Lin is also planning to use this idea to let the low-level officers and soldiers accept the existence of human rights ideas. In this way, they will naturally be separated from several senior officers of noble origin.

As for the state contract, it is a theory that explains the relationship between the state and its citizens. In the natural state, human beings cannot alone resist various disasters and obtain sufficient supplies. Therefore, people give up part of their natural rights to form various Groups live.

This kind of group eventually evolved into a country, and because of this, the country has the right to collect taxes from its citizens and reward the people with taxes, and has the right to conscript the people and use the army to defend the interests of the people.

This is the theory of natural justice endowed to the recruits of the new army. With this idea, Xia Lin can ensure that the soldiers' thinking is to fight for themselves, for their families and homes, and not for the alliance. To fight, to fight for Her Royal Highness, and to develop in the direction.

The constitutional monarchy is Xia Lin's ultimate goal, launching a reform of the propertied class, transforming the empire into a system more suitable for industrialized social production, and truly modernizing the country.

Xia Lin has already laid the groundwork for this. The parliament of the business alliance will be the parliament of the new bourgeoisie country in the future. As for whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a constitutional monarch, it depends on the power of the royal family and the social trend of thought, as well as Xia Lin's own strength.

If possible, a republic would also be one of Xia Lin's options.
