Rise of the Empire Total War

Looking at the content written in ink on the desktop, Richard let out a sigh of satisfaction, and then inserted the quill in his hand back into the ink tank.

On the paper on the desktop, Richard's thoughts on the new army were densely written in German. His organization of the new army was not the same as that of other male protagonists in the Internet. He carried over the entire modern military system and accurately He said that he has no plans to use the organization of later generations. In his conception, the legion will continue to use the company and brigade system, but add a regiment headquarters above the brigade. It has been played vigorously, and it is not too late to expand the military and establishment.

The number of each company and brigade has hardly changed. According to the establishment of the system, there are ninety musketeers equipped with muskets in a company, and five companies will form a brigade, which means 450 soldiers. The brigades form a regiment, with each regiment also equipped with a brigade of cavalry (usually horse sergeants or crossbow cavalry) and a brigade of melee infantry (usually pike sergeants or hoplites) and a brigade of artillery (a company Two cannons, and a brigade is only ten cannons), so that, excluding the slaves, craftsmen and priests accompanying the army, a regiment has a total of 1,760 soldiers.

According to Richard's initial plan, a new legion will have an establishment of five regiments, that is, 9,550 soldiers.

Of course, this is only a preliminary idea. The actual strength of the new army may be different from the current one. In addition to the establishment of the total force, Richard also referred to the European grenadiers of later generations. He would select 90 strong and elite soldiers from each musket brigade to reorganize into a new company. To be called the Grenadier Company, each soldier was equipped with three earthen grenades in addition to muskets and swords.

In addition, benefiting from the profession that Richard learned in his previous life, he also personally drew the Prussian military uniform that he remembered in Europe during the time of queuing and shooting. The main color of the military uniform is dark blue, the trousers are light gray close to white, and the boots are special leather The military boots and the military cap are black tall barrel hats with a metal double-headed eagle badge pinned to it. Considering the winter coldness of the Vardasia Peninsula, Richard also deliberately distinguished between winter clothes and summer clothes, adding a layer of plush to the military uniforms and military boot linings of the winter clothes. (You can refer to the Prussian line infantry in Napoleon's total war)

In order to distinguish between ordinary soldiers and grenadiers, Richard also inserted a bunch of feathers in front of their tall hats according to the image of grenadiers in the game, and the X shaped straps on their military uniforms also changed from one black to one white Unified in white—By the way, this X-shaped strap is connected to the backpacks they carry on their backs. In addition to their personal belongings, the backpacks contain dry food and water bottles.

After drawing the sketch, Richard called all the tailors in Nord City and asked them to make military uniforms with the best fabrics according to the sketch. At the same time, he promised that whoever among them would satisfy Richard with the finished product, and Richard would They will be rewarded with many silver marks.

Therefore, the tailors happily took the sketches and dispersed, and returned to their own shops to process day and night, hoping to be the first to hand over the finished product.

And get that rich bounty.

...

Two weeks later, that is, on November 2, the envoy sent by Ornus Foreign Affairs Chief to negotiate with the king of the Kingdom of Milanas returned empty-handed. He failed to convince King Milanas. In fact, His Majesty the King pretended The deputy had nothing to do with his lofty attitude, and didn't talk too much with the envoy, so he sent the envoy away on the pretext of not knowing the whereabouts of Prince Yairo.

However, in the hotel where he stayed, the envoy learned about Jairo and the fleeing army under his command from the farmers who entered the city to buy seeds. He was stationed in a village, and the farmer came from the village.

Hearing this news, although the envoy was angry in his heart, he was powerless. It is unrealistic to rush into the palace to question the king now. It will only intensify the conflict between the two countries and make King Milanas more inclined to Yairo. In desperation, He could only go back to Nord first and report what he had seen and heard to Richard.

Richard doesn't feel good, it's really not good, King Milanas actually chose to help Jairo conceal it, it can be seen that they have reached a preliminary agreement, if this threat is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that after the formation of the new legion Before the army, the war will break out.

Thinking of this, Richard's eyes hardened, and he thought of the existence that he had been cultivating all these years but never came into use—the Assassin.

The Assassin Organization was secretly cultivated by Richard after he was crowned the king. This is also normal in this era. There are more or less assassins under the kings of those big countries. They can help the king physically solve troublesome political enemies. Can also handle some annoying stuff. Richard's subordinates also have them, but they have never been used, because he looked around and found that there were no nobles who opposed him in the whole country, so he hid this sharp poisonous blade.

Following three crisp knocking sounds on the table, a man in a black robe suddenly walked out of the shadows in the study. Because he was wearing a hood, Richard couldn't see clearly what was hidden under the darkness. face.

Your Majesty Caesar, the Man of Darkness, the Assassin Rhys Howden salutes you. The black-robed man pulled his slightly hoarse vocal cords and said.

Reese Howden, I order you to go to Icinda, the capital of the Kingdom of Milanas, assassinate its king Drapes Divelus, and frame Prince Jairo as the blame. Richard said lightly, with words However, it contains murderous intent.

Of order, Your Majesty. The assassin promised in a low voice, then turned around and retreated into the darkness. In an instant, only Richard was left in the whole study, as if no other person had ever appeared.

Richard has long been familiar with the strange way of assassins. When he curiously summoned the newly recruited assassins a few years ago, the other party appeared in such an extremely unscientific way, which shocked Richard and almost killed him. He had to draw out his saber to defend, but fortunately, the other party revealed his identity in time, thus avoiding unnecessary casualties.

Looking at the scroll on the table, Richard's hand was still tapping on the table lightly. He didn't know if the assassin Rees Howden's operation would fail. Success is the best, but if he accidentally failed and was captured, Richard He is not worried that he will confess himself to the interrogator. The strong consciousness implanted in the system makes him loyal to Richard even in the face of death.

Give me some more time, now is really not the best time to go to war. Richard murmured in a low voice, he was not ready for the war yet, in order to prevent the outbreak of the war, he could only do the best thing of sending assassins to assassinate him Can't do things on the table.
