Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 122 Army Reform

PS: Thanks for the reward of Deep Sleep.

"Of course there is no problem. I believe that Laayoune University will also be a world-class university in the future. What do you think? Mr. President?"

"Of course, of course."

What can the Rector of the University of Laayoune say?He could only agree to it honestly, although he didn't have much hope for it, after all, the educational environment in Western Sahara was here.

In fact, the school party did not bring Joseph anything. The only thing he saw was the predicament of education in Western Sahara, and he needed to invest urgently and pay attention to the education here.

African countries undoubtedly place great emphasis on military strength. Since this place belongs to the Principality of Nord, Joseph is naturally unavoidable. The old century has passed, and the First National Defense Army is not a mercenary, so it is inevitable for all members to change their outfits.

Due to the relatively far distance between the two places, the military uniforms must not be the same as those of the Nord Principality. Fortunately, there is no actual army in the Nordland. .

The Ministry of Defense of the Principality of Nord suggested that the headquarters be located in the Western Sahara region, because it would be beneficial to the Ministry of Defense of the Principality of Nord to rule over the army, but this proposal was rejected by Joseph.

Now is the new century, he can guarantee the loyalty of the army to himself, but he cannot guarantee that his descendants will be able to do the same in the future. For the future of the Ragnar family, he must keep the Ministry of Defense in the Principality of Nord, not only In this way, he has to find a way to completely control the First National Defense Army in his hands, so as to avoid the independence of Western Sahara in the future.

After careful consideration, Joseph decided not to set up the positions of army commander and division commander. The highest officer in the army is the regimental commander.Now that communication is more and more developed, the Ministry of National Defense only needs to set up a staff department to be able to command troops as far away as Western Sahara.

Sabotage communications?In fact, in general, regiment-level military units can settle the situation. After all, there is no country in Africa that can attack the Western Sahara region on a large scale. Even if it exists, their technology cannot break the communication technology of the Principality of Nord.

In fact, in terms of technology alone, the Principality of Nord is already at the forefront of the world. This has nothing to do with the system. It is all due to the contributions of thousands of ordinary scientists. The strength of the team is huge, and what they lack is creativity.

Because of the heat and the environment in Western Sahara, these sergeants only wore khaki half-sleeved field combat uniforms and woolen dark green regular military uniforms, and their military ranks were modeled after Europe.

Basically, the military rank system consists of seventeen grades: junior soldier, senior soldier, sergeant, sergeant major, warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, and marshal.

Among them, only the Grand Duke of the Principality of Nord can serve as the marshal, and the crown prince and other members of the royal family are honorary major generals. The Nord Royal Guard is quite special. Compared with the colonel commander of the First National Defense Army, his rank is major general.

It can be said that after the military rank is determined, the Duke of Nord will have one lieutenant general (Minister of Defense) and two major generals (former Chief of the First National Defense Army, currently Chief of Staff of the National Defense Staff and Chief of the Guards).

The senior military generals were actually dissatisfied with the arrangement made by Joseph. After all, they were able to remove their actual positions as division commander and army commander and arrange them to serve as deputy staff and chief of staff in the staff department.One has military power and the other only has command power. Who can be satisfied with such a result?
But even if he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. After all, Joseph was the Grand Duke of the Nord Principality, and all the power was in his hands. Even if these generals waved their arms, there were not many people who really followed him.

Under such circumstances, Joseph's proposal was passed safely. It has been a few months since he came to the Western Sahara area. Now Joseph feels that it is time for him to leave and go back to the Nord Principality. After all, he has been away for so long He was a little worried.

"Quick, this is His Majesty's usual dress, and this one needs to be taken away."

Joanna was busy arranging these things in the Governor's Mansion. Not far away, Marceau looked at her back with a smile. The laughter might have caught Joanna's attention, so she glanced at her dissatisfied.

"Joanna, you will be the housekeeper of the palace when you go back. If you still do things like this, I believe you will not be able to handle those jobs."

Marceau felt a little sorry for Joseph, but these matters were her own decisions, and Abner had already agreed that, as the master, he should not be involved in the matters of these servants.

The Governor's Mansion will be rebuilt, and this place will also be called the Western Sahara Provincial Palace in the future. From the head of the palace to the head of the other house, although the salary has increased, the relationship between Marceau and Joanna can also be seen.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that Joseph is already 13 years old, and his servants should be changed to male servants. In this way, there are only two where Joanna will go. She thinks that she is the housekeeper of the palace and the other is the personal maid of the mistress of the principality in the future. .

Although he didn't ask, Joseph can be sure that Joanna is definitely not willing to serve the future mistress. The housekeeper is her only destination, but here in the Western Sahara Palace...

Joanna and Marceau have different personalities. She likes to enjoy and love those prosperous cities. If she is allowed to stay in Western Sahara, Joseph even thinks that she will die in depression.It's different with Marceau, Marceau's personality prefers tranquility and she does things steadily. From any point of view, she is the best candidate for the housekeeper of the other house, but it is very unfair to her.

"Then what should I do?"

Marceau's painstaking efforts, Joanna naturally understood that the dissatisfaction just now was just a small affair among girlfriends. Now that she has time to rest, she must of course ask the housekeeper's duties and how to do it.

"The responsibilities of the servants in the Nord Palace are very clear. They don't need you to tell them how to do it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the overall arrangement of the banquet. But I believe these Abner stewards will teach you."

Although it was equivalent to not saying anything, it made Joanna completely relieved. What she just thought was that this place is so busy, and there are so many servants in the palace, why is she still so busy?Obviously she ignored that the maids here were just recruited, and she forgot that there was an Abner steward in Nord Palace.

What is Joseph doing at this time?He received an email from Nord Royal Bank. The main content of the email was his main consumption records and billing information in the past year.Looking at this email Joseph is very happy, because the email format is very good, starting to have a little modern standard.

Called the Nord Commercial Department and talked about the Nord Royal Bank with appreciation. The deputy minister who was temporarily in charge of this was very happy to introduce some reflections on the bank's networked citizens.There is no doubt that these feedbacks are all positive. Most of them praise the convenience and speed of checking bills. Of course, there are some doubts, that is, security issues.

These have also driven the increase in the number of PCs in the Principality of Nord. According to the statistics of Apple Computer, as of January 1, the number of PCs purchased in the Principality of Nordland has reached more than 25, and this number has grown rapidly.
