Rise of the Empire Total War

Your Majesty Richard Caesar, we are here at your summons. May God bless you and your kingdom.

In the Ippolito Palace, Richard, who returned to the court, summoned the commanders of the four Teutonic Knights. A man full of wisdom and virtue.

Hearing the greetings from the four, Richard nodded with a smile on his face, then raised a hand, and said, Four respectable captains of the knights, please take your seats. I summoned you today. Discuss the future of the Teutonic Knights.

The future of the Teutonic Knights? Your Majesty Caesar, the Teutonic Knights are fighting to maintain the glory of God in this world. Even in the future, our original intention will not change. The commander of the first brigade said, his words It was echoed by the other three.

Of course I understand this, but this is not the future I am referring to. Richard explained, This world is full of evil heretical beliefs and ideas, even in the Kingdom of Winster and the The kingdom of Vana is full of beliefs in the so-called phantom deer god. I don’t think any Christian is willing to sit back and watch the heresy grow.”

Indeed. The four nodded in agreement.

Under such circumstances, we need to use whatever power we can. Cardinal Peter has put in so much effort to get more people on the right path to believe in Christ. He is a truly devout Christian. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot let Bishop Peter fight alone, and we should also contribute our strength to spread the Christian faith.

So, what do you mean? One of the brigade commanders asked tentatively.

I want to establish the Teutonic Knights on the basis of all the Teutonic Knights. I will donate the Baka Castle in the territory of Urif to you as the headquarters of the Knights. The purpose of establishing the Knights is Attack any heresy that is against Christ, protect Christians in this world, and help spread the faith of Christ, Richard said.

Establish the Knights... The four were directly stunned by Richard's opening sentence. They came from the era before the establishment of the Teutonic Knights, so they didn't know the later history. In their eyes, The establishment of a knight order is really unimaginable.

Soon, the brigade commander of the first brigade came to his senses. He tried to calm down his tone and asked, Your Majesty Caesar, how should we develop after the formation of the Knights?

First of all, you have to select the leadership of the Knights Order internally. I have already planned the Knights Order system for you. Richard said, picking up the scroll on the table, which was neatly written in German With the formation of the knight order,

The highest authority of the knight order is called the knight order council. Its members are variable. It is mainly composed of the five chiefs, local commanders, and members with personal influence in the knight order. The council can restrict the grand commander. No matter where he goes or what he does Everything must be reported to the Council, which has the power to dismiss him, but the Council and the Grand Commander need to be responsible to me, the Caesar of the Empire, and any major incidents of the Knights need to be reported to me.

The Grand Commander is the highest officer of the Knights, and also the representative of the Knights. He is elected by the cadres of the Knights and serves a life-long term. Then there are the five chiefs, the five chiefs are the deputy commander, the military chief, the financial chief, the medical chief and the military chief.

In addition to acting on behalf of the Grand Commander when the Grand Commander is away, the Deputy Commander is also responsible for keeping all religious property and rosters; as the name suggests, the Military Chief is responsible for directing foreign wars, the Financial Chief is responsible for the Knights’ finances, and the Medical Chief is responsible for the Knights’ internal affairs. Medical care work, including organizing the treatment of the wounded after the war (this position is just an honorary title in history, and it is an official position left over from the era of operating hospitals in the Holy Land), the quartermaster is responsible for the logistical work of the Knights, including peacetime. The maintenance of armor equipment and facilities, as well as the mobilization of materials during wartime (this position is also an honorary title in history, an official position left over from the era of running hospitals in the Holy Land, but it is also said that he is really in charge of logistics, here I will As the name suggests, it is set to manage logistics).

After that, there is the knight detachment. I divide it into three jurisdictions according to the current ruling area of ​​the kingdom, and each jurisdiction has a leader. The first commander is Commander Winster, who is responsible for managing the Knights' jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Winster and organizing the protection of missionaries and Christians in the territory. This position is concurrently held by the Grand Commander. The second commander is Commander Ravana, who is responsible for managing the Knights' jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Ravana, and other responsibilities are the same as Commander Winster. The third commander is the Commander of Cunha, who is responsible for managing the Knights' jurisdiction in the former Republic of Cunha, and other responsibilities are the same. I will also donate land to the Knights in Ravana and Cunha after the Knights stand firm.

After listening to Richard's introduction, the four of them recovered for a long time, and Richard didn't wake them up. He knew that it would take a while to digest such a large amount of information suddenly.

After a while, one of them raised his head, looked at Richard, and asked, Your Majesty Caesar, does the military officer you set up mean that the Knights will fight the heathen country alone?

Blind student, you discovered Huadian!

Richard nodded, and said: Yes, but not now. I will not allow you to start a war with the heretics until the Knights truly have the strength to go to war. This is to protect you.

Then if the Knights won the war and conquered the land of the pagans, will the land be directly assigned to the Knights' jurisdiction, or will it be transferred to the empire? the man continued to ask.

Of course it is ruled by the Empire. Richard nodded, and said: But the Empire is generous and will not disappoint the soldiers of the Knights. In addition to leaving part of the land under the jurisdiction of the Knights, they will also give generous rewards. award.

Then, another brigade commander pointed out a problem: Your Majesty Caesar, if a kingdom has only one stronghold, the Knights cannot effectively guarantee the safety of missionaries and Christians in their jurisdiction.

That's a good question. Richard nodded and glanced at him approvingly. The man in his memory was the brigade commander of the second brigade. Set up a stronghold of the knight order, each small stronghold stationed at least ten knights and varying numbers of knights from...
