From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

At first, Xia Jieren didn't want to recruit these young soldiers.

But there is no way, the plasticity of ordinary people in this world is too low.

Most of them have not received any education, and most of them even limit their activities to areas no more than ten kilometers from the village.

If Xia Jieren wanted to train these people, the money he spent would be a small matter, but he could not afford the time cost.

Therefore, Xia Jieren could only limit the recruitment age to 16 to 20 years old.

In the past, most people would not let their children join the army as long as they could have food to eat.

But.

Since Xia Jieren arrived, serving as a soldier in the Kingdom of the Netherlands has become a good thing.

Unfortunately, there are only a few vacancies for each recruitment, which makes people more eager to join the army.

The reason lies in the military merit exchange system created by Xia Jieren.

He stipulated in detail how much military merit would be given for killing or capturing an enemy, and different enemies would be given different military merits according to their strength.

After the group combat, there will be an additional military merit, which will be distributed according to the contribution.

In addition, those who make other contributions on the battlefield will be counted as military merits separately.

With the cooperation of the insect people and the ubiquitous heart network, no one dares to cheat on it.

Military merits are very useful, and the simplest use is to exchange them for money.

1 military merit is worth 100 Beli.

A minion pirate is worth about 100 military merits, which is equal to 1 berries.

Secondly, military merits can be exchanged for military ranks.

[A private first class has 100 military merits, a private second class has 400 military merits, and a private third class has 800 military merits. ]

[Corporal 1000 military merits, Sergeant 4000 military merits, Staff Sergeant 8000 military merits. ]

【Warrant Officer 1w Military Merit】

[Second Lieutenant 10 Military Merits, Lieutenant 40 Military Merits, Captain 80 Military Merits]

【...】

Not only that, military merit can also be exchanged for official positions.

In Xia Jieren's plan, in the future all positions in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, from village chiefs to cabinet chairmen, will be held by veterans or insect people.

Finally, military merit can be inherited, but only among direct relatives and cannot be transferred.

Once military merits have been used up, they will be eliminated. The same applies to exchanging for military ranks.

This means that a recruit needs to spend 1300 military merits to be promoted to private third class.

The soldiers had no complaints about this.

After all, the benefits of promotion in military rank are real.

The higher the military rank, the better the death pension or retirement benefits, and the more respected your family will be in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In short, after Xia Jieren proposed his own military-industrial exchange system, he asked Kerrigan to carefully tinker with it to ensure that it was foolproof.

Of course, this may change later.

Xia Jieren's military merit exchange system greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

They fought even more fearlessly and bravely, and it is no exaggeration to say that they were very brave.

It's just that they have very few opportunities to perform.

Most of the time, the soldiers rely on advanced weapons to complete a crushing victory.

There has never been a situation where the will of the army is tested with real swords and guns.

Here we have to talk about the various forces in the world of One Piece.

Except for the navy, the revolutionary army, the army of powerful countries and other forces, the will of other forces is too weak. They can only fight when the wind is favorable. Once they fall into a slump, they will immediately collapse.

The pirates are even worse.

However, there are also many weirdos among pirates, such as the Whitebeard Pirates during the Battle of Marineford.

They are very united. If Whitebeard had not asked them to retreat in the end, many pirates would probably have stayed and fought the navy to the death.

Closer to home.

To sum up, Xia Jieren’s military merit exchange system constantly arouses the ambitions of the recruits.

They are eager to stand out and return with honor, and with their passion, they put life and death aside.

They looked like new recruits, but their eyes were more determined than those of the battle-hardened men in other forces.

This was both their first battle and not their first battle.

New recruits are implanted with biochips on their first day of service.

This chip will quickly teach the recruits various military skills.

Instructors only need to correct and reinforce during daily training.

Then just repeat the exercise every day.

At the same time, cultivate the recruits' collective consciousness and ability to obey orders.

This method is very efficient. It only takes about a month for the recruits to become veterans with qualified military skills.

In the following period of time, they trained their ability to cooperate with each other.

After about three months, they will need to engage in 'actual combat'.

Kerrigan will use the biochip to pull their consciousness into a simulated battlefield, dividing them into two teams to fight against each other.

At first, their senses in the virtual world will be turned down.

As time goes by, it will gradually become higher and finally become the same as in the real world.

This is also to prevent the recruits from being unable to bear the pressure and suffering a mental breakdown when faced with death all of a sudden.

This training method is very effective and low cost.

However, in order to prevent these recruits from thinking that they are immortal, the instructors will also organize them to conduct real-life confrontation drills.

The injuries in reality are real and last a long time.

But even so, there are still some soldiers who are fearless in battle.

If they had not accepted the wrong culture, Xia Jieren felt that when they faced the enemy, they would most likely shout "Board" and then rush forward.

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren suddenly felt bad.

He secretly made up his mind: "I must do a good job of dealing with Wano Country in the future."

"Don't blame me! Who made Wano Country look so similar..."

......

As they got closer to Fantasy Moon Island, the atmosphere on the warship gradually became solemn.

"Mide, we're almost there." He Hong rubbed his hands together.

"Idiot, keep your voice down." Mead glanced at his captain and whispered.

At this moment, the captain of their recruit company was giving his final speech.

"We will follow the other troops after that."

"When you encounter an enemy, fire calmly. Don't rush forward recklessly."

"If civilians have the intention to attack, you must ensure your own safety first and you can open fire directly."

"..."

"You are not immortal. If you are fatally wounded, you will die."

"Don't be reckless! Don't be reckless! Don't be reckless! I have to say it three times because it's important."

"Did you hear that? I'm talking to you, recruit He Hong! Don't whisper with recruit Meade there." The recruit company commander suddenly pointed at the two people who were whispering in the corner and scolded.

"Yes!" Mead and Kazuhiro stepped out subconsciously and saluted. Their movements were smooth and it was obvious that they were strictly trained soldiers.

Their actions immediately caused a burst of laughter.

They both put their hands down awkwardly and returned to the queue.

Seeing this, the company commander just waved his hand helplessly and didn't say much.

Kazuhiro and Meade are the troublemakers in his team, but they are also very capable young men.

Especially He Hong, the company commander was very optimistic about his spirit of risking his life.

It's just that he's not very smart and too reckless.
