Chapter 2194 The Differences Between the Two Countries
"Commander-in-Chief Kukulin Baiye, I am the new deputy commander-in-chief, Bernie Avarre." The silver-haired man, Avarre, stopped in front of the door. He looked about 26 or 27 years old. Apart from other things, Bernie Avarre could definitely rank in the top 20 in Shadu in terms of handsomeness.
Su Xiao had just taken over 20,000 soldiers when the deputy commander-in-chief was arranged. Under normal circumstances, the deputy commander-in-chief should be selected by him personally, not appointed by Uno. In the room, Avarre coughed lightly. He was very proud. He was promoted five levels in a row, from the chief of the military guard, to the deputy commander-in-chief.
Avarre thought, since the commander-in-chief had issued a military order to capture Segona City within seven days, why not let the commander-in-chief die in an "accident" before arriving in Segona City?
Excited, Avarre drank the tea on the table in front of Su Xiao, and then there was no more. This kind of time bomb should be removed as early as possible. If this guy is too stubborn and leads the soldiers to mutiny not far from Shadu, it will be more trouble than gain.
As for why Su Xiao expected that the other party would drink the "tea" in his teapot, it was of course not expected. Even if he was not thirsty and did not want to drink tea, Su Xiao had a way to make him drink it.
Uno handed over some soldiers stationed on the west side of Shadu. They were not logistics troops, nor were they old, weak, sick, or new recruits. They were a defeated army that had just retreated from the front line. These people were more or less decadent, and most of them had a faint smell of blood on their bodies, which was caused by injuries. Under their light armor, they were wrapped in white cloth and had scarred bodies.
There are six general commanders in the Sand Flame Kingdom. Now there are seven including Su Xiao. Excluding the adjutant, under the general commander is the military guard commander, who commands up to 50,000 soldiers. Under the military guard commander is the department guard commander, who is in charge of 10,000 soldiers. The order is as follows: general commander (300,000 soldiers) → 6 military guard commanders (each military guard commander commands 50,000 soldiers) → 30 department guard commanders (each department guard commander commands 10,000 soldiers).
Under the department guard commander, there are thousand guard commanders, hundred guard commanders, and even ten guard commanders. There are many low-level officers. This is a very normal situation. Modern troops may not need so many grassroots officers, but in this era of backward communication, once the war starts, the soldiers of both sides will fight in a group. It is the best practice to form a small unit of ten people.
Even after the battle was fierce, the ten guard commanders could not find their subordinates. After Su Xiao's army marched for about two hours, some soldiers even began to talk and laugh with each other. According to the current momentum, as long as they reach the front line and fight with the enemy, they will be defeated in minutes.
It's time to show real skills, Su Xiao is going to start spending money.
Su Xiao has 310,000 gold coins in his hand. The purchasing power of gold coins is amazing enough. It is the currency with the largest denomination. Su Xiao escorted the caravan across the desert and only received 28 gold coins as a reward. You should know that for other holy souls, this is a task that requires taking the risk of losing their lives.
In the Sand Flame Kingdom, 4 gold coins are enough to open a small restaurant, and 30 gold coins are enough for a civilian to live a rich second half of his life. If a soldier dies in battle, the Sand Flame Kingdom's pension is 37 gold coins.
Where did Su Xiao get the gold coins? Of course, Bubuwang borrowed it from Uno. He doesn't have to pay back the money he borrowed with his ability. These 310,000 gold coins are the key to Su Xiao's stabilization of the army. If the army is unstable and the morale is not restored, the war lord will be powerless no matter how strong it is. Unless it is his ultimate form of war lord + Lin Jiu + Jeanne d'Arc, he can integrate the defeated army into an elite division without spending gold coins.
Whether it is Lin Jiu or Jeanne, they both have the ability to improve the morale of soldiers. So when Lin Jiu was not in a hurry to act in the Kingdom of Peru, he sent Jeanne to Gaoshan City to find Xi and help her control the army in the Kingdom of Peru.
After sending out waves of gold coins, Su Xiao only had more than 30,000 gold coins in his hand. When he arrived at the front line, it didn't matter how many gold coins he had in the first battle. As long as he could capture the "City of Segona", he would not be too short of gold coins in the future.
Su Xiao didn't need gold coins, so the gold coins he got would be completely distributed to the soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins were thrown down, not to say that every soldier was dead set on him, but they were also willing to work for Su Xiao, after all, that was their duty.
But after becoming more and more familiar with the situation in the Kingdom of Peru, Lin Jiu determined that it was much more difficult to get military power in the Kingdom of Peru than in the Kingdom of Sand Flame, at least not like what a certain senior official who Su Xiao defeated later said, that the ability of the Holy Soul to "largely improve the strength of soldiers" was wasted in the Kingdom of Sand Flame, and would be reused in the Kingdom of Peru.
It's just bullshit. He said this because he was beaten to a pulp. Before the war broke out, if you went to the king of the Kingdom of Peru and showed your ability, he would let you lead the army? You're overthinking. People who believe this must have a hole in their brains. How could an outsider take control of the military so easily?
The original military leaders would never accept it. Would the king, a political machine without any emotions, give him trust? Besides, you are still strangers.
Before being hurt by Su Xiao, there was only one result for Lin Jiu to say this in front of the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Peru, that is, to regard him as an enemy. Even if he proved his ability, Peru would not let him lead the army, and they were more afraid of letting him run away and let themselves suffer. So the only choice was to imprison him, and then the two sides would inevitably break down.
Why did Lin Jiu send Jeanne to Xi's side? On the one hand, it was to help, and on the other hand, Jeanne was more effective in leading the army than him, so he was sent to Xi's side. And he himself was ready to lead the mechanical Zerg into a capital.
Joan of Arc's leadership ability is not only reflected in the skill level, but also in her ability to lead, manage, and lead troops to fight. Unlike him and Su Xiao, who rely entirely on skills and titles to force the warriors to fight.
The mechanical Zerg does not need to lead the army, their queen is the best commander. As a buff aura provider, Lin Jiu and the mechanical Zerg will form a very terrifying army. Even if Su Xiao's beast cavalry corps is formed later, it will not be a match.
Only those who have used Zerg warriors know how useful Zerg warriors are, and Su Xiao happened to have used them. Facing individual strongmen, Su Xiao uses the legion flow to solve them. When the legion flow cannot beat the opponent, Su Xiao will use the decapitation tactic.
The problem of leading the army in the Kingdom of Peru is more than that. Su Xiao can quickly win people's hearts with gold coins because the politics of the Sand Flame Kingdom are complicated, and soldiers are often the ones who are most likely to be deducted money.
But the situation is different in the Kingdom of Peru. While the king attaches importance to military affairs, he is also very strict in building warriors. The situation like the more than 200,000 beast knights behind will not listen to the Tsar at all, but only listen to Su Xiao's orders. This situation will hardly happen in the Kingdom of Peru.
And Su Xiao's way of fighting to support the war will not work here at all. This is the difference caused by the different national conditions of the two countries. Lin Jiu can only hope that Xi has props that can make her initial status high enough to lead a full army.
The plan of fighting to support the war can also work, but it needs to wait until Su Xiao beats the Kingdom of Peru so hard that it can hardly raise its head before this plan can be implemented. Otherwise, even if Xi leads the army to defeat the army of the Sand Flame Kingdom, there will be no new troops to be incorporated, because in the current Peruvian country, winning a battle is not very normal.
