As one of the three major departments of the New Model Army, the Technical Department is surprisingly low-key compared to the equally famous Staff Department and Military Constitution Department. There are neither specially designed high-end and stylish uniforms like the latter two, nor awards and commendations commensurate with their achievements. As one of the three major departments, the Technical Department has almost nothing except a small facade hidden deep in the airport area and a set of cotton white robes that are so crude that they are not even as good as the robes of an apprentice mage. Poor and useless. ??At least in Adair's view, that's how it is. Stepping down from the carriage, he casually handed the driver a black silver coin. Adair patted the velvet red robe on his body, frowned, and looked at the wooden sign next to the door - "Technical Department" with three crooked stinkers. The words are written on it as always. Walking into the gate, the guard at the door held the musket in his hand and leaned lazily on his post. When he saw Adair walking in, he let him pass without even standing up. That casual attitude is simply inferior to that of an ordinary corps conscript. Adair resisted the urge to snap up a finger and blow up the useless soldier with a fireball, and walked towards the equipment testing workshop with ease. . Generally speaking, the imperial military community has basically reached a consensus on the reason why Yi Wenyan's New Model Army was able to achieve the miraculous performance three months ago - the reason why his new military reform was able to The main reason for its success is the establishment of three major departments. Before Silver Rose Sir Evanien set up a staff system, the imperial army and other similar positions were the only auxiliary officials. However, it also plays the role of sorting out combat information, formulating combat plans, and arranging combat missions. The New Model Army's staff greatly surpasses the empire's original auxiliary officer system, both in terms of quantity and quality. Judging from the most basic personnel composition, among the active staff of the New Model Army, which totals less than 300 people, more than one-sixth are arcane mages who specialize in the prophecy school, and one-quarter are scholars who are proficient in arithmetic. , and the remaining people are mostly composed of low-level mages and students from the liberal arts college. Staff officers with military background only account for one-third of all staff officers, and they are often diligent and smart, but their sword skills are not very good. skinny guy. And such a staff team of less than 300 people, from the company and battalion level to the division and regiment headquarters, is dispersed at all levels of the army, which greatly liberates the energy of the officers. This allows officers to better focus on thinking about the movements of enemy troops and detect the enemy general's combat intentions hidden in them. As for the specific orders and combat instructions, they can be completely left to the staff officers around you to complete. If the officers of the New Model Army are the brains of the army, then the newly emerged staff position is the most efficient autonomic nervous system in the army, which quickly converts every instruction of the brain into electrical signals that the body can understand. This enables rapid and precise tactical responses. As for the other more famous department among the three major departments, the Military and Constitutional Department, interested people in the empire initially regarded it mainly as Yiwen Yian's private spy force. After all, the personal nature of this department is too serious. From the beginning of its establishment, the top officer of the department was Yiwen Yian himself, and promotion was not based on performance, but on strength. This also caused a lot of controversy at the time and was considered to be Yiwen Yian's military reform. It's like child's play, a typical proof of looking forward and backward, and dragging one's feet. However, it turns out that as the moral benchmark of the entire army and the enforcer of military law, the Military Constitution Department, which is composed entirely of pure mage officers, does not need such a thing as a record at all - because for the military mages, the record It makes no sense. As long as there is a suitable opportunity to perform, even a junior mage can kill dozens of junior and intermediate soldiers. For the supervising team, there is no need for such a thing as a record. As the officer's confidant and personal follower, the butcher's knife of the supervising team is often aimed at one's own people in the first place. As a military military officer with both characteristics, he only needs absolute loyalty and discipline, powerful magic and combat power that can influence the situation of the battle, and the ability to retreat as the last soldier retreats as the troops charge together. fighting will. With the soul of iron and the discipline of steel, the Military Military Officer is the absolute guarantee and defender of every tactical order of the New Model Army, which can be implemented to every private soldier at the lowest level. The military officers of the New Model Army are not only the enemy's god of death, but also a dark cloud in the hearts of our own deserters. Whenever that figure in a black military robe appears on the front line of the battlefield, the impact on the enemy's morale and the boost to our morale are absolutely unimaginable by the old Imperial Army! The soul of the New Model Army¡¯s strategies and tactics¡ªthe General Staff. The embodiment of iron will and the soul of war¡ª¡ªJunxiandepartment. The creator and developer of new equipment - the Technology Department. Now that the New Model Army is gradually beginning to emerge, the three major departments of the New Model Army that were once considered a joke have gradually and unknowingly become the three major departments of the New Model Army wrong! etc! It seems like something has been forgotten? ! What about the technical departments of the three major departments? ! Where has the technical department gone? ? Why don¡¯t you explain the situation of the technical department? ! This this The teacher on the stage looked at the cadets under the podium and scratched his head. "Actually, compared to the previous two departments, the status of the New Model Army Technology Department is still very embarrassing. It is not recognized in the true sense like the other two departments" "Probably just because it has always been with the other two departments before. The three departments are collectively called each other, so the names of the three major departments have been used to this day" Finally, the teacher explained to the students this way. The military students under the podium looked at each other in confusion¡ª¡ªHow shouldhow to explain this? . "So! Krel! Why are you still so stubborn!" Adair looked at the man in front of him angrily and yelled loudly. Regarding the scene in front of them, the other technical mages were busy with their own affairs, and they were actually not surprised by it. Speaking of which, they were quite surprised. The dignified Archmage of the first level of truth, the famous Chilian magician in the empire, was actually a close friend with their careless manager. This can only make people sigh at the weirdness of the gods. . The target of Adair's anger was a man who seemed to have no energy. He was wearing a gray New Model Army uniform, with his hands in the pockets of his greasy white clothes. His dark blue eyes were dull and listless. Looks like he doesn't get enough sleep. In response to Adair's roar, this man, Claire Belmont, the director of the New Model Army's technical department and the first person in charge, did not even look at him, and replied lazily: "Adair, every day Everyone has a lifestyle that suits him. I think my life is pretty good! ? Adair's anger suddenly rose, "You call this life pretty good! ?" " (Krel is very innocent: "It's 'pretty good'") "Look at what you have become!" Adair grabbed Krel's shoulders and asked him to face him. Himself, "Do you know! The person Amy Xue loved the most back then was you, not me! It was you who became the Mage of Flame, not me! Then after becoming the Mage of Flame, in the battle for the Twelve Kings Cup, Representing the Flame Mage Tower, defeating the Imperial Young Dragon, the Joven Temple, and Xiwei Military Academy, you will be the one to win the highest honor! Do you know how much you have lost in the past nine years? " Face it! Seeing the numbness on the face of Krel, who was slightly shorter than himself, Adair could no longer bear his anxiety: "Everything I have now originally belonged to you! If you didn't choose to give up at the beginning, now you can look up It should be me who is looking at you! " "Adair" However, even after being shouted at by Adair, Claire still looked unmotivated, "I know you have always liked Adair. Michelle, I sincerely wish you all the best for marrying her, but in fact I hate the smell of Amy Snow - but you can't tell her this, otherwise I won't be able to eat her fruit pie when I go back to your house next time. "Furthermore, in my opinion, the battle for the Twelve Kings' Cup is boring. It's not my style to risk my life and come back covered in wounds - you forgot that you were holding the king's cup." Did the cup fall off the podium? Adair, you are a person who can seize opportunities and is willing to fight for them. This is different from you, so you can do this, but change. If you ask me to come, you definitely can¡¯t¡ªI will give up midway.¡± ¡°So Adair, to be honest, you fought for all this yourself and have nothing to do with me.¡± Claire raised his hand and said softly. He knocked Adair's hands on his shoulders: "So, can you let go of your hands now? I still have to continue playing with my water tank." "But it was you who gave me the first chance " Adair let go of his hand with a pale face, "If you hadn't given me that opportunity, I would be nothing now" "I was the one who made the choice at the beginning, no matter whether the 16th place is you or not, My choice will not change, so you don't have to worry about it," Krell said calmly. Then he turned around and continued to watch his subordinates, knocking around the strange-looking steel golem in the center of the workshop, occasionally shouting:A few words, telling some rash guy to pay attention to safety. Looking at Claire's back, Adair's lips twitched, but in the end he didn't say anything - "Krel do you understand or not?! Now Teacher Arut has decided to deal with Yiwen Ian and The New Model Army is taking action! If you continue like this, you will only be buried with him and his New Model Army!" Adair took a deep breath and did not give up. Caught between his friend and his mentor, he couldn't tell Krell what he was saying, but after careful consideration, he decided to use other methods to save the country. "Krell I'm serious. I am now one of the most valued archmages in the Flame Mage Tower. As long as I plead with Master Arut, there will be absolutely no problem even if I make an exception and take you under my tutelage." Question. I know that you have always been better than me, and now you have to succumb to me, which may make you feel uncomfortable. But with your strength, as long as you change your mind and stop doing this mess, it will not harm the image of the mage. A heretic whose strength is of no help can definitely break through the threshold of the elementary level of truth and enter the intermediate level of truth in just a few years. At that time, our strength will be equal, and you will even surpass me in the future. Teacher Arut, step into the realm of legend. Do you really not want to even think about such a bright and glorious future? "Krell turned to look at his friend: "Adair, The future you described just sounds uninspiring" Adair's anger could no longer be suppressed: "Krell! This bastard! That is the dream of all imperial mages! Realm! You kid can't get excited about such a great thing! So what can make you get motivated like this, squatting in a place where no one knows, covered with oil? All the glory and dignity have been lost, and you can't even step into the threshold of truth, can you let it go?" However, Adair did not expect that Claire's eyes flashed with fatigue and he answered instantly! After asking his question, it seemed that the answer had been prepared in his mind for a long time - "What brings about excitement? Of course it is the black blood of the earth! Petroleum! And the physical form of coal!" Creel's tone sounded slightly excited. . "Shiyou!?" Adair was confused. Is this some new alchemical substance? "Yes, petroleum does not require magic energy or alchemical synthesis to extract a large number of acid-base substances and alchemical glue. Its finished oil can also be used as high-purity, impurity-free industrial oil. To power machines and vehicles, there is a mechanical model called an internal combustion engine. It is so amazing! It can provide continuous and stable power and horsepower without even a trace of magic power! "When it comes to oil, Clay! I suddenly became excited and chattered a lot: "That bastard Yi Wenyan! He clearly promised me back then that he would give me a maid when I got there, and he would definitely let me see the blackness of the earth. Blood, magical 'oil'. But what happened? The maid who was promised to me stayed in the dormitory for two days, then resigned and ran away with me. Gold coins! And what about the promised oil and coal? I haven¡¯t found it in Nanling for almost ten years, so I can only continue to use magic crystals and geokinetic energy.¡± ¡°That bastard guy said something! , it has never been completely realized once! If it weren't for the interesting ideas of rifled muskets, gunpowder-driven cannons, and "water tank" armored golems, I would have just jumped ship with you, Adair! Forget it!" At the end, Krel said bitterly. Then, immediately after, a voice came from far away from the door - "What's going on? I just came over and I heard my dearest technical department manager seeming to be scolding me. ?"
