GOR Chapter 535 "Establishing Dominance"
Du Wei, on the other hand, took full advantage of this point. After the first deduction, he had each student make a summary of their own deduction, the conditions they used, and the advantages and disadvantages they summarized in the end. All of this was to be re-learned.
Then … for the second round of deduction, Du Wei still used the sand table of Anglia City and made some random changes to the military strength of both sides before proceeding to the next round of deduction!
This deduction class was conducted a total of four times over the course of fifteen days.
In the end, under Du Wei's guidance and step-by-step guidance, the students learned how to make full use of all conditions, climate, military strength, environment, etc … These are not things that can be learned from books!
After repeated deduction of various kinds, many students were able to produce tactics that satisfied Du Wei!
It can be said that among all the classes, Du Wei's deduction class was the most popular one among this batch of students.
Although this kind of deduction can't give these officers real combat experience, it is still better than nothing. At the very least, it gave them a more intuitive understanding of various tactics!
Next, Du Wei created a variety of sand table models in the latter part of the deduction class. He shamelessly plagiarized all the cases of war he knew from ancient and modern times!
Deduction after deduction, constant changes in the conditions of both sides, and repeated learning after deduction … these officers may not be qualified as excellent commanders, but at the very least, they began to realize how to make full use of all conditions in battle! Although they may not be able to make good use of it, Du Wei felt that it was commendable!
— — —
In addition to the deduction class, Du Wei also participated in all the other classes of the military academy!
After all, he knew his shortcomings. When it came to marching, fighting, engaging, infantry formations, cavalry formations, all kinds of basic skills, he was very poor! When the academy found the veteran officers to teach these, Du Wei also pretended to sit at the side and listen!
In the eyes of the other students, the dean sat at the back and listened in every class, as if he was monitoring everyone so that no one dared to make noise. The class discipline was very good and everyone was very serious.
But what they didn't know was that … the Duke of the Tulip Family, who was regarded as the empire's youngest general and had successfully commanded two stations, was actually a military idiot! On the surface, he was sitting at the back as a 'supervisor', but in reality … this Duke was secretly learning the most basic things from the back!
A month ago, Du Wei didn't even know how to make the most basic infantry formation. But now, he has a general understanding of cavalry formations and infantry formations!
Of course, Du Wei forced every officer to take notes! Fortunately, these officers came from good backgrounds. Most of them were born in noble families and had been educated since childhood, unlike most of the people in the army who were illiterate.
However, the order to take notes made many people uncomfortable. After Du Wei's strict order and after a few disobedient officers were whipped a few times, everyone became obedient.
Du Wei, on the other hand, would take time every day to flip through these officers' notes … he was still secretly learning!
Du Wei's goal was very simple! He wanted to become a qualified officer as soon as possible – he believed that he had the ability!
After all, if Aragon could become an outstanding and invincible commander, then why couldn't he?
In addition, Du Wei made some special rules in the academy. These rules were very strange in the eyes of the students!
For example, the school rules that Du Wei personally wrote … were the school's military laws and were not very strict! Some of the overly harsh punishments were modified by Du Wei into slightly lighter punishments.
Du Wei was very critical of the Roland Empire's military laws! He believed that many of the military laws were too harsh: The problem was that these harsh military laws, not to mention the beheading, the other punishments were too severe!
For example, "40 military beatings? 40 military beatings for mistakes during formation drill? "Du Wei sneered at these military laws!
In his opinion, although punishment was necessary, 40 military beatings would cripple the person even if he didn't die. Even if he didn't, he would be seriously injured! If he didn't lie in bed for more than 10 days, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed!
Du Wei believed that all military laws and deterrence to soldiers didn't depend on whether the military laws themselves were strict or not!
For example, in Du Wei's previous life, ancient China's military law was "54 Beheadings"! It sounded very scary …
But the problem was, that kind of military law only "sounded" scary.
The deterrence of military law to soldiers didn't lie in itself, but in the execution!
No matter how strict the military law was, if it wasn't executed, then it was just a piece of waste paper!
China's "54 Beheadings" military law was, in a sense, just a piece of waste paper! Du Wei also knew that in ancient China's army, there was almost never a real strict implementation of that kind of military law – if it was really done according to that military law, there would have been no one left in the army! All of them would have been killed!
The Roland people seemed to believe that as long as the punishment was heavy enough and ruthless enough, they would be able to intimidate the soldiers and make them obedient. Du Wei was very dismissive of this view!
Du Wei rewrote the military laws and made a lot of changes to the Roland Empire's military laws. On paper, it seemed that these military laws had become a lot lighter. At least, Du Wei removed more than half of the death penalty, and some of the overly harsh military laws that would cause permanent disability or long-term injury to lose the ability to fight were also removed by Du Wei.
For example, regardless of whether it was the punishment of flogging or caning, under Du Wei's resetting, the most severe punishment was only 20 beatings.
There were fewer death sentences, fewer heavy punishments, and more light punishments. This was the new military law modified by Du Wei.
However, this military law that didn't seem to be frightening actually had a lot of deterrence!
Because Du Wei demanded that "law enforcement must be strict"!
Whether or not the law was strict did not depend on the law itself, but on the strength of implementation! The Roland Empire had been peaceful for too long, and the military was lax. To a large extent, it was because the law enforcement was not strict! The military law itself was ruthless enough, but if you did not implement it, it was useless!
If the officers led the armed melee, and the soldiers drank … the military law would become a piece of bullshit!
The Roland Empire also had another law: Nobles would not be punished!
But the problem was, after hundreds of years of peace, most of the officers with slightly higher ranks in the army were nobles! In other words, no matter how harsh the military law was, it could only affect ordinary soldiers. Those noble officers could get away with it! If they broke the law, the nobles could be exempted from the punishment, and they could even let their slaves and subordinates take the punishment instead!
If the higher-ups did not implement it, how could you expect the soldiers to comply?
Although Du Wei's military law was slightly gentler, he demanded that it be strictly enforced!
As a result, the first person Du Wei used as an example was none other than Du Wei's younger brother, Gabriel!
When Du Wei re-announced the 'school rules' of the military academy, it was only the school rules.
Gabriel and two other officers who lived in the same barracks were secretly drinking and Du Wei caught them!
But Gabriel was the leader of this barracks. To Du Wei's delight, Gabriel did not drink with them … but he did not report them! This also made Du Wei dissatisfied!
Gabriel was the son of a traditional noble family. His traditional view was that he would not easily offend his colleagues. This kind of behavior was very common. He also believed that the military law was only for ordinary soldiers, and that high ranking officers were not included.
As a result, the two officers who were drinking were given 20 lashes by Du Wei. As for Gabriel … in front of everyone, Du Wei personally gave him 10 lashes!
Under the cold night wind, Gabriel's shirt was stripped off, leaving behind a bloody whip mark on his back. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Du-Wei personally carried out the punishment. During the entire process, Gabriel didn't utter a single word. Instead, he clenched his teeth and didn't utter a single sound. This was enough to show his toughness!
The over 100 officers looked at Du Wei's gloomy face and they could not help but sigh inwardly. This Duke is too serious … you want to establish your authority, we understand that. But to use your own brother as an example … isn't that too much?
"The rules are the rules!" Du Wei threw away the whip and looked at the other students. When Du Wei's gaze swept over them, they quickly straightened their bodies. Du Wei coldly said, "Everyone must abide by the rules! I don't care if you are a Count or a Viscount! I don't care if your father is a general or your grandfather is a minister! Everyone must abide by the military rules! Every single person! Even me! If I break the military rules, I will also be punished! "
After that, Du Wei personally carried Gabriel back to his room. Then, he personally applied ointment on his brother's back.
Gabriel still didn't say a word throughout the entire process.
After Du Wei finished treating the wounds on his brother's back, he gave a soft sigh and said, "Gabriel, do you hate me?"
Gabriel silently shook his head. Then, he struggled to turn his body sideways to look at Du Wei. His youthful face was filled with sincerity as he said, "I have said it before, you are my big brother. I know that everything you do is reasonable! Since you believe that what you are doing is right, then I will also believe that it is right! "
Du Wei wanted to say something to comfort him, but Gabriel continued, "Big brother, there is no need for you to say anything. I understand. I believe in you! Even if you break my legs today, I will still believe in you! "
"I want you to become a truly outstanding soldier! Not a 'traditional Roland military officer', "Du Wei sighed.
"I will do it," Gabriel nodded and gritted his teeth.
Gabriel was not the only one to enjoy the treatment of Du Wei personally applying ointment on their wounds. The other two officers who were beaten were also treated by Du Wei – Du Wei would not waste such an opportunity to buy their hearts.
He did not harshly reprimand these people. He simply told the two people who were being beaten, "The mistakes you have made have been completely offset after you have been whipped! Now, I will not treat you as violators of the military rules. You are now just my students! "
It did not matter if there were still some among the 108 officers who had some complaints in their hearts, or if some were truly convinced, or if some were just silently cursing him in their hearts.
Du Wei did not care about any of that. In short, he had established his authority over the military rules and everyone had to abide by them. That was enough!
With the passage of time, this would become a habit, and then it would continue. That was what Du Wei wanted.
He did not believe that he was a saint. He also did not believe that by releasing the aura of a King, he would be able to make these officers submit to him from the depths of their hearts … he was not that naive. As long as the majority of them understood him, that was enough! As for those who did not understand, Du Wei did not care either way!
I don't care if you understand or not! As long as you do as I say!
Additionally, Du Wei's new school rules had another special aspect: Every day, when it comes to meals, the team members would eat first! After all over 100 team members had finished eating, it was the Captain and the Head of Quarters' turn!
After they had finished eating, Du Wei, the Dean, and the other instructors would be the last to eat!
"The soldiers will starve, the officers will not be fed! The officers will starve, the generals will not be fed! "
In the beginning, some people thought that Du Wei was just putting on a show. However, after one month, everyone was convinced!
Even those who disliked Du Wei had to admit that this Duke of the Tulip Family was truly ruthless! Ruthless to others, ruthless to himself!
There was another matter. Although Du Wei did not place much importance on the martial skills of these officers … he believed that in a war, a qualified commander's martial skills were not the most important! Because a real general should be in the rear commanding the soldiers in battle! Every team under his command should be sent to the most appropriate place on the battlefield at the most appropriate time!
Those who took the lead, wielding a long sword, charging at the forefront to kill the enemy … could only be low ranking officers!
That was the assaulter, not the commander!
Of course, Du Wei's idea was not that he did not place importance on the individual martial skills of the officers. After all, he knew that in the era of firearms, the officers' criticism was biased towards the commander. However, in the era of cold weapons, the individual bravery of the officers was still a necessary means to boost morale.
Thus … after some consideration, Du Wei added the set of "Starry Sky Dou Qi" to the basic physical skills. He selected a few moves that ordinary people could perform and taught them to the officers!
Of course, Du Wei did not teach them the entire set of moves. Even if he did teach them, they would not be able to do it. In this regard, Du Wei himself was a genius. Back then, whether it was White Robe Gandorf or Hussain, when they were teaching Du Wei, they were both surprised by Du Wei's learning speed. However, there were some moves that ordinary people would not be able to perform!
At the very least, teaching them some simple moves to improve their physical fitness was not a bad idea.
