[VOL 2] CHAPTER 19 – MILITARY REFORM
“Welcome home”
When I arrived at the reeted me
Since I’ements
“Pikaru, call F and Marcus”
As I entered ether with Mirea-san and Reina who brought tea
I wonder why Reina is looking so frequently at Lunos and I⌈1⌋
“The General and the Imperial Guard Order’s Head came”
“Let theh”
Marcus and F stepped into the room
As usual, General Marcus, without saying anything, sat down on the sofa without waiting for my permission
I told F to also sit down and began the ether with Pikaru
“So, hoas it?”
“It can be said that our objectives got achieved for the greatest part”
Except for Operation DDT
I told Nals to explain the finer details
“- – In that e gained the cooperation of the Royal Faainst the conservative nobles Therefore, it’s important to carry this out as soon as possible”
How’s the progress of the colonial soldier settleation construction?”⌈2⌋
“Both are progressing favourably Thanks to the drastic ih the iic all constructions are expected to be done within this year”
Pikaru answered Marcus’ question
“With that said, is it possible to finish the construction work on the highway by the beginning of the next year as well?”
“Well, I’d like to advance the training of the far the colonial soldier-settlement later on”
In response to Marcus’ and Nals’ words, I decided to voice out the idea I kept to myself for a while
“Therefore I have a suggestion but it requires to fundae the present military”
“What do youthe military?”
Everyone including Marcus looked at me
In the novel “Yuusha Tensei” which I wrote, the troops of the countries called the “Yuroa countries”, Franz Kingdom included, are basically all made up of infantry, cavalry and archer units
Carlo’s hts of the Imperial Guard order Lunos and F are part of only consists out of cavalry in times of war
It’s basic style to recruit farmers or citizens as archers or foot soldiers
Of course, I used the es as a model
However, as a result of this, as I reincarnated as the feudal lord who is in a leading position for the arht the Barbarians who are a horse-riding tribe olian soldiers like this
If one takes a look at the history books one would see that Europe was shaken by the Mongolian invasion, there’s no doubt it will be fairly difficult to fight the Barbarians with the present military⌈3⌋
If you just write a sentence as an author it’s all good even if there’s such a problem but if you really have to lead an army like this that’s a completely different matter⌈4⌋
As a fight with Duke Armandi and the other conservative nobles is inevitable noant to e to efficiently win in the shortest amount of time
If it isn’t a story I simply wrote but a real battle there should be as little sacrifices as possible andelse I don’t want to die either
That’s why I thought about this military reform
“If we let the cavalry officers lead the archers and infantry as before we can’t reatest weapon Therefore we make the Imperial Guard Order the Cavalry unit and let another officer lead the archer and infantry unit”
Nals explains my concept
It’s a result of having talked with Nals about this reform all the time
“We’ll let the infantry and archers choose an officer a the farmer-soldiers we established this tiether in one unit so far even though they have independent formations”
“Fu plan but it’s to be expected that the Ihts will oppose to this As they have pride in leading the army”
Marcus interrupts Nals’ explanation
Because Marcus who led the I
But I considered that as well
“It’s necessary to inforhts hoerful the cavalry unit is and how it can be decisive to a battle’s outcome That’s it Nals, explain it please”
“Yes We are planning to execute an exercise with the original formation and the reforhts and the far led by F and Lunos”⌈5⌋
“I see, so the knights can’t help but be convinced if the difference is overwhel”
F also nodded to Lunos’ words
“It’s like that So, who leads which side?”
