The food was all over, and four people sat on the dining table again. Coza was obviously very happy and began to pray before the meal. The four people held hands and formed a circle, and Coza began to chant something.

All spellcasters in the alliance are atheists, and the spellcasters firmly believe that their abilities come from knowledge and training, rather than the gift of some existence.

Winters is naturally not a believer, but just cooperated with Cosa's intentions. He didn't want to make his aunt sad. But he also had his own persistence, that is, he would never recite the prayer and never say a word every time.

Winters is thinking about all the internships. As soon as the prayer before the meal ended, he couldn't wait to ask his uncle: "I can't understand why the internships are all in the government offices? Why don't we go to the real army to train in the army?"

"Because there are not so many troops."

"What?"

Antonio patiently explained: "Where are so many troops for you to go to the internship? Otherwise, why would you be thrown into the organs? Nowadays, most officers usually work in the organs, and there are not many who really lead troops. Venetta has three corps numbers, two of which are standing corps. Each standing corps usually only maintains half of its strength, which is a chief brigade and four brigades."

Antonio's words surprised Winters. According to his uncle, the entire Venetta Republic's army now has three legions, but only two legions are standing army, while the actual force is only one legion with a little more than five thousand men.

After the sovereign war ended and Richard IV withdrew from the army, in order to answer the question "What should I do if there is no emperor?", scholars began to seek answers from ancient books.

Finally, they found the answer they wanted: in ancient times, the Muro people also overthrew the king and established the Muro Republic without kings, which was strong for hundreds of years.

"So we are not the first to do this." The scholars breathed a long sigh of relief.

Since some people have done this in history and have succeeded, it means there is nothing wrong without an emperor.

So from then on, the Senas Gulf Alliance began to fanatically imitate the Muro Republic in ancient books in all aspects, and comprehensively revived the ancient empire from politics to military, and even works of art.

This history was later called "Borrowing the Ancient Reform" because these imitations were purely new wines in old bottles. They just borrowed an old name and implemented the reality of the new policy.

For example, in politics, the Muro republic and the Federal Republic are both called republics, but they are completely different things.

The former is a noble republic; the latter kills all the nobles, and is a republic of the urban class, and the vast rural areas are not within the scope of the republic.

For example, in military terms, it also imitated the formation of the Mro Republic and copied the structure of the ten-man team-100-man team-branch-legion.

But now, the mesh guns have become popular. In addition to formations, whether it is tactics, training or the ratio of hot and cold weapons, the two are completely different.

"Why are there so few troops?" Winters asked hurriedly.

"Is there still fewer than five thousand people?" Winters' childish question made Antonio silent.

He said helplessly to Winters: "This is a five thousand full-time regular army! Boy, do you know how much it costs to raise a fully-feeded professional soldier? If you want to make your wholeheartedly join the army, you have to pay the craftsmen who have just been granted a disciple. This is equivalent to paying 5,000 craftsmen's salary, and also being responsible for their food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons and equipment. To be honest, if it weren't for maintaining the deterrence, I would think that 5,000 people would be a bit too many."

"What if you fight?"

"If you want to fight, you will temporarily call the reserves. If you call the reserves, you will also receive military pay. So you have to disband quickly after the war. Thirty years ago, when the war was fought, you can recruit people to join the army by giving them food. It's different now. War is about burning money. It's enough to deal with scattered bandits and a few farmers who don't want to pay taxes."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What?" Winters's views were completely washed away: "Is it not to set up a standing army to resist foreign enemies?"

"Haha, how could it be? The biggest function of the standing army is to deter enemies from the country. Fighting against foreign enemies is not enough by these thousands of people."

Two people, one big and one small, were very excited. Elizabeth on the side was also fascinated by the sound, but Coza was very angry.

She tried her best to cook dinner, but no one in the other three people in the family had a good meal, and no one praised her skills. She was very aggrieved now.

Koza resisted his anger and knocked on the cup: "Can you stop talking about things outside the table when eating?"

"Oh, this beef is so stewed well." Antonio immediately saw that his wife was not in a good mood, and hurriedly winked at Winters, praising her wife's brilliant cooking skills.

Another member of the lower family status, Elizabeth, also understood it and exclaimed loudly that the beef soup was so delicious.

Winters praised a few words without hesitation. His head was all about the inside story of the army that his uncle just mentioned, and he really couldn't hold anything else.

After eating a few bites of food, he couldn't help asking his uncle: "Then will I have to do civilian work for the rest of my life after I go to the agency?" He thought he could lead the troops, but he found that it was different from the agreed one?

"Don't worry, when you become official officers, you will take turns to lead troops. There are too many officers now, and there are not enough soldiers, so you have to take turns."

"Uncle, did you have to do this when you first left the military academy?"

Antonio said proudly: "I am different from your father at that time. We fought at that time, so we went to the army to lead the troops. Now there is no war, so there are not so many soldiers, but peace is actually a good thing."

Antonio pondered for a moment: "You don't have to worry, maybe we will need to recruit reserves soon..."

Koza knocked on the cup again: "If you want to talk about these things, go to the study to chat after dinner!"

Now, even as slow as Winters, he realized that the volcano, my aunt, was on the verge of erupting.

Praise for the hostess has once again become the main content on this dining table.

——————————————

Although the weapons and tactical concepts have been iterated many times, the army organization of the Alliance Republics is still completely copied from the Muluo Legion, which can be called Jingluo possessed.

Each legion is dominated by infantry, with cavalry and artillery as independent auxiliary forces.

Every 8 infantrymen are a ten-man team; (Yes, isn’t it common sense to have only 8 people in the ten-man team?)

There are 80 people in every 10 ten-person teams, as a hundred people; there are 480 people in every 6 hundred people, as a brigade; there are 9 480 brigades, plus a 750-person chief team, as a total of 5,070 people, forming a legion; the cavalry and artillery are used as auxiliary legion, and are directly under the legion commander.

The number of artillery and cavalry is related to the actual situation and fiscal policies of each franchisee.

For example, the United Nations Republic is backed by the Victory Arsenal, so the number of cannons in the United Nations legions is far greater than that of other franchisees.

The Highland Republic (Palatu Republic) is rich in good horses, so the Highlanders attach more importance to cavalry and are relatively less concerned about the construction of infantry.
