[Fengshi City]

[Municipal Office]

Early in the morning, Geisa Adonis arrived at Maple Stone City Hall during calibration.

As one of the four "supreme members" of the "Supreme Committee" of the "Supreme Committee" of the "Supreme Committee" of the "Supreme Committee", for the past half month, Colonel Geisa and his "Supreme colleagues" have spent most of the day in the conference rooms of the city hall every day to discuss and negotiate "national preparations and matters related to the "Supreme Committee".

Those who stayed in the city hall for longer than the four Supreme Committee members were the coalition officers selected for the "Preparation Conference" and the civilian officials of the provincial government, because they were there at night.

After all, the All-Liberal People Conference is about to be held, and many things must be finalized as soon as possible.

But even though the "preparation meeting" was working day and night, and was busy working day and night, when the opening day of the conference was close, there were still many specific matters waiting for the decision.

Once you make up your determination to "re-create a republic", many of the original things will be like old furniture in a new house. No matter how you look at it, it will make people unable to help but think of just pushing it back.

Take military affairs that account for the most important proportion, from the official name of the army, the color of the flag logo and military uniform, to the army's formation method, command sequence and political status, if you don't want to copy the old ones, you have to change them.

According to the opinions of the "Four-member Committee", since we are going to move towards a new era, we should have a new look.

The complex work is so heavy that it is pressed on all the members of the "preparation meeting". Not only are there formal affairs such as "what color of military uniforms to wear", but there are also many important contents that involve the actual interests of all parties.

For example, how should the "informal officers" under Winters access the system of formal officers? Which rank should they be awarded?

It should be noted that in the past, officers who were qualified to independently command an infantry brigade or a cavalry squadron were at least a major.

Even the original meaning of the rank of "major" is "a higher status" refers to "a professional officer who is fully responsible for commanding a small phalanx" in the large square array system.

However, in the Tiefeng County Army, informal officers who meet this condition cannot count one hand.

If they were directly awarded the rank of major according to the actual size of the troops they were commanded, what should Winters Montagne, who commanded them?

You should know that the highly respected Lord Blood Wolf has only a formal military rank of "captain".

Not only the Tiefeng County Army, but also the troops of the other three counties have serious mismatch between military rank and position.

Among the troops of each county, there are many cases where second lieutenants and lieutenants command a brigade. It is not uncommon for appointed officers who have never touched the barrel of a gun to be directly responsible for hundreds of lives.

The old model of seniority promotion can no longer adapt to the current reality.

The New Republic's military needs a new system of training and promotion to end the current ridiculous situation.

In order to solve this problem, the officers of the "preparing meeting" racked their brains to come up with a set of solutions.

After many cycles of "debate-revision-frequent debate-dramatic revision-more-revolution-threatening debate-that is, it was finally understood and recognized by all parties.

What is the specific plan? Please press here to not specify it.

Although during the finalization of the plan, representatives of the military forces of each county fought for their own interests, the negotiations were once stalemate and almost no consensus was reached.

However, reaching consensus through consultation rather than through weapons is the greatest consensus itself.

Resolutions such as [Letter Award Plan] that have only passed after tortures and hardships can only be regarded as pavilions and towers built on this foundation.

However, "negotiation" certainly bears many gratifying results.

There are still some beautiful and beautiful ideas that have to bow to reality.

For example, Winters strongly advocated the establishment of a large logistics department for the army of the New Republic, unified the allocation of resources from armed forces to food and grass, and was fully responsible for providing all the needs of each unit.

This will "free" each field force from the heavy collection of materials and distributing chores, so that it can focus on combat and training.

At the same time, it will allocate resources more reasonably to avoid the occurrence of situations similar to "Whiteshan County, which is resisting the enemy army in Hegu Village, the Leiqun County troops have only pitiful iron-shell grenades, while the Iron-feng County troops carrying endless iron-shell grenades are climbing the mountain."

Winters also told the other three members without hesitation that the existence of a logistics department that takes charge of everything is also a constraint.

"Since it is the country's army, it should be supported by the country."

The existence of a general logistics department can prevent anyone from turning the country's army into its own private property.

Colonel Geisa, Colonel Skur and Lieutenant Colonel Magash agreed with Winters and recognized the benefits of a unified logistics system to the army.

However, they also frankly expressed their concerns - logistics is related to the life and death of the army, and they are worried that they will hand it over.

At this stage, the three school officials still hope to continue to maintain the current model of "supporting the troops of each county by each county".

As for the uneven resource allocation caused by the differences in property in each county, they believe that it can be resolved through transactions - just like before.

Four votes (Baishan County, Leiqun County, Bianjiang County and Jinghu County) and two votes (Tiefeng County, Vorne County), Winters' proposal to form a unified logistics system was defeated.

The idea of ​​"unified logistics system" was rejected, and Winters could still accept it and compromise.

There is only one thing that he will not give in any way.

That is the ownership of commandership - how should the army exist in the New Republic?

This question is very big, but it is difficult to put into practice. It sounds illusory, but it is impossible to reach a consensus no matter what.

...

The Charter of Alliance explicitly stipulates that the command power of all armed forces in the republics belongs to the alliance and the franchise countries.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, there are two problems in this sentence.

The two seemed not a problem at the time, but became a big problem in the future.

First, the interests of the Union and the Republic are not always consistent.

Second, there is no independent consciousness in the world called "union" or "republic".

In other words, the command power of the army belongs to the alliance and the franchise states, but neither the "alliance" nor the "republic" can actually exercise the command power.

In the end, the actual command of the army naturally fell back to the army, as if a horse had bitten its own reins.

Then, in the name of "for the sake of the Union and the Republic", the army "has the right to do anything".

This is the reason why the United Provinces and Paratus have come to this point today, and it is also a historical case that has caused many Vineta jurists to be heartbroken.

When the alliance was first started, the royalist and nobles were deeply ingrained in the local areas, especially in the vast rural areas.

They were eyeing the alliance with their influence mainly in cities, repeatedly launching armed rebellions, trying to kill the new republican regime in the cradle.

However, after Ned Smith's reform, the coalition army has far less combat power than the old noble army.

So the situation is often that a certain count, the baron just raised the anti-flag, was still calling friends and recruiting soldiers, and the Alliance army came to the door and immediately suppressed him ruthlessly.

Most of the royalists and old nobles who were hit hard fled to the empire and became court nobles who were completely dependent on the imperial power and robe nobles.

The members who remained in the alliance also figured out that resistance by force is to die. So they all joined local councils with the influence they had accumulated in the past and turned into "national congressmen" representing the general public.

Therefore, in this complex context, in order to avoid the old royalist nobles from controlling the Grand Council, they then counterattacked.

This hole in the "Charter of the Alliance" is left in the rigorously worded "the right to command".

At that time, people regarded the Union Army as the last barrier to protect the republican system.

Only the Ai Lan, who has always been vigilant against tyrants and ambitious people, insisted on adding the clause "the Grand Parliament exercises command power on behalf of the Republic and the Union" to the Charter of the Venetta Republic.

And today, another Venetta man found himself at the same intersection.

...

Lieutenant Colonel Magash Kolwin, who rarely expressed his opinion in a clear manner, said:

The Palatu Army should continue to retain all rights and powers in the Old Republic in the New Republic.

Winters could see that Colonel Skur Mecklen did not fully agree with Lieutenant Colonel Magash's view.

But as an ally of Lieutenant Colonel Magash, especially with two votes each of Colonel Winters and Colonel Geisa, and two votes he and Lieutenant Colonel Magash, Colonel Skur could only stand on Lieutenant Colonel Magash's side in this "inconsistency" issue.

After all, Colonel Skur was even more anxious than the ownership of command, when can the vacancies of Leiqun County troops be filled.

To everyone's surprise, Winters, who had previously had the most friendly negotiation attitude, fiercely opposed Lieutenant Colonel Magash's proposal.

Winters argued and even said very heavy words:

"If it is maintained, then we have only established a poor imitation of the old Paratu Republic."

On the other hand, Lieutenant Colonel Magash Korwin, who rarely expressed his opposition firmly, did not give in on this issue.

Lieutenant Colonel Magash brought out many reasons, including very convincing realistic considerations.

"Look at the people outside the door, what did you see?" Lieutenant Colonel Magash asked and answered: "Soldiers! Soldiers! Or soldiers! They are the reasons why we can sit here. Depriving the army of rights is equivalent to digging our own roots! If you insist on doing this, then your subordinates will be the first to stand up against you! The United Provincial Army is approaching. How can we lose our straits at this time?!"

Neither side could convince anyone, nor would he give in.

Faced with this situation, Geisa Adonis, who held two decisive votes, cautiously did not make a statement on the spot.

For Colonel Geisa, the rift between Winters and Lieutenant Colonel Magash was more worried than the issue of ownership of command.

So Colonel Geisa tried hard to play the role of peacemaker.

Before leaving for the town hall today, Colonel Geisa and Colonel Skur communicated with each other, hoping to persuade Winters to make concessions.

In Colonel Geisa's view, Lieutenant Colonel Magash's statement made more sense.

The issue of ownership of command is really too metaphysical and out of reality.

Adding the "Veneta Supplementary Articles" into the Charter of the Republic cannot solve the actual problem; removing the "Veneta Supplementary Articles" will not create more problems.

What's more, as a member of the army, Colonel Geisa was unwilling to let his rights and power be restricted in his heart.

So after arriving at Maple Stone City Hall, Colonel Geisa did not walk directly into the gate, but stayed on the steps and waited for Winters to arrive.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves rang out on the streets, and the black carriage painted with flying winged lion emblems drove out of the mist and appeared in Colonel Geisa's vision.

The carriage stopped under the steps, the door opened, and the pedals were lowered.

Colonel Geisa smiled and walked down the steps. He was about to say hello, but saw an unexpected face.

The colonel's expression froze, and his brows frowned a little bit: "Kai Morran, why are you... here?"
