After sending Ellison away, Ivan returned to the camp and began to think about how to transform his leftist army. There is no doubt that for a viscounty, a total of 15,000 troops is still too much. The territory has strong strength and is located in a strategic transportation hub. It is not bad to say that a remote territory like Lion Heart Territory can gather so many troops. It's a waste. Not to mention the cost of various weapons and equipment, the military expenditure alone is a huge expense. This is the result of Ivan throwing 10,000 troops to Ellison. It is also undesirable to force under-strength soldiers in the army to retire, not to mention how much trouble a large number of soldiers will cause if they retire abnormally. Even if Ivan can survive this trouble, he will not do so because there are retired soldiers. Replenishment is necessary. Although constantly adding high-level fighters to the left army is the only way for Aiwen to strengthen the left army, there is no need to rush when the number is enough to deal with most threats. In order to improve quality, doing so will only exaggerate the already high military expenditures and greatly hinder the development of the territorial economy. What's more, the Lion Heart Territory is an emerging territory after all. Except for a small number of settled mercenaries, most of the people in the territory are retired former volunteer soldiers. They don't even have first-level strength. After coming to the Demon Castle, , was directly rejected by the Demon Castle Military Headquarters. It is known as the papyrus among cannon fodder - the kind that is most easily turned into ashes. With the current strength of the mainstream people, the Lionheart Territory will not have the conditions to recruit suitable soldiers within ten years. If you want to get suitable soldiers, in addition to providing a small amount from the small world, you can only recruit them from mercenaries. Thinking about it carefully, Ivan felt that for a long time in the future, he might be able to barely fill the number of casualties sent by Ellison. As for the army currently in his hands, he can only focus on maintaining it. . Of course, maintaining it does not mean leaving it aside from now on, although the average strength of this army is lower. But after thinking about it secretly for a long time, Ivan felt that they could be trained into a navy. With the exception of some exceptions, the various navies that are currently present in the sea in the center of the earth are very technical in nature, and their requirements for individual strength are obviously not as good as those of the army. Although in many cases, ship-to-ship naval battles are inevitable. But as long as the difference in strength is not too outrageous, this disadvantage can be made up for by the huge advantage in numbers. What's more, on Aiwen's newly renovated Lionheart-class ship, coupled with a large number of long-range weapons loaded, the navy's reliance on technology greatly exceeds its reliance on individual strength. If the shooting technique is strong enough, it can even avoid the enemy's boarding battle. A first-level warrior can be considered a first-level warrior. Even if he is not as good as his opponent, he still has the strength to operate weapons for a long time. After thinking of this solution, a problem that Alvin had been hiding in his heart suddenly became clear. Although Aiwen already has control of the Zuo Army, in the final analysis, the real commander of the 210th Army is Ke Wen. Instead of Ivan, if Ivan spent a lot of energy to train the left army to be strong enough, but was finally ordered by Ke Wen to rush to fill the most intense gap on the battlefield, then wouldn't Ivan lose both men and money in the end? But the idea of ??training the navy reminded Alvin that compared to the land battlefield, the sea battlefield is undoubtedly much less intense, and even better. Due to the border war triggered by Vivian half a year ago, the devil's side only had a few sizable navies. After several fierce battles, they were completely defeated by the Ohcere family who were determined to take revenge. In the end, they could only carry a few ships. The remnants of the ship were huddled in the port, and even now they have not been able to recover. ??This is a new port like Port Odelia, which is only a year old. It can be seen from the fact that he was able to obtain a large number of construction orders for main ships as an exception. Maybe the relationship network that Emma established in the Demon Castle really helped a lot, but what about the fact that the demon lords on the front lines were so sick that they sought medical treatment? Due to the huge deterrent effect of the Demon Castle, it is impossible for large human naval forces to risk coming to the rear of the demonic sea area, and can only send small troops to harass. This gives the Lionheart General the opportunity to develop and grow the navy. If Aiwen can firmly seize this opportunity, he may take the top spot in the local navy among the demonic forces, and even maintain this advantage until the beginning of the Holy War. In this way, even if the main members of this navy are only about one level in strength, Ivan no longer has to worry that the left army in his hands will be used as cannon fodder and directly dragged onto the battlefield. Even if Ke Wen has this idea, he is one level higher than him. Senior officers will also stop it. Because Ivan knows very well that by that time, if the demon navy, dominated by the Zuo Army, overwhelms the human navy, then his status among the demon forces will also overwhelm Ke Wen, and naturally he will no longer have to obey Ke Wen. Under the command of the Zuo Army, if the demon navy dominated by the Zuo Army is still inferior to the human navy, then the Zuo Army will also be regarded as a military force at a critical moment.The elite soldiers are carefully protected and will only be sent to the battlefield when the main battlefield is unfavorable. But by then, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to be prepared for the entire army to be annihilated. Ivan's interests are closely related to the overall situation of the Holy War. If the main battlefield is unfavorable, then there is no use keeping this navy. Besides, it is better to be sacrificed at the last and most critical moment of the battle than to be sacrificed at the beginning. It's good to be used as cannon fodder. Yes, the future direction of the Zuojun is to gradually transform into an army mainly based on maritime power. Along this line of thinking, Ivan's plan is slowly taking shape. According to the current situation of the Zuo Army, this batch of 10,000 troops will be trained mainly on technology. In the future, it will include sailors of the Zuo Army fleet and various weapons and ships. The operators, including the operators, will all be trained from this group of troops. The other 10,000 people will continue to recruit elite warriors following the death list issued by Ellison until Ivan has formed a 5,000-person army. So far the Marine Corps has been around. Ivan thought for a long time, but still felt that he could not sacrifice his life indiscriminately, so he decided to wait until the troops in Ellison's hands were dead and only about 5,000 people were left, and then let Ellison bring them back as a left army system The only ground force present. Even if the members of this unit are generally unable to improve their strength, since they can survive those fierce battles, then the team spirit alone may be able to completely defeat most other local units. Moreover, the existence of this army unit can more or less cope with Ke Wen's possible censure. After all, Irvin did not convert the entire left army into a navy unit, and there is still a quarter of the army. He can be taken out and used as cannon fodder! After confirming the plan, Ivan briefly calculated the military expenditures after the army was fully formed. In the end, he was surprised to find that since there were nearly 15,000 first-level warriors in the navy and army, only 5,000 in the Marine Corps. Because of the large number of high-level warriors, after the Zuo Army was fully formed, the monthly expenses were only about 200,000 gold coins, which was much better than the initial estimated military expenditure of 500,000 gold coins per month. After being surprised, Ivan's enthusiasm suddenly surged, and he even directly selected two thousand soldiers who were more suitable for the navy, and prepared to take them to Odelia Port with the remaining guards to receive training from the navy, but Geese and Nie persuaded Alvin, because Alvin only experienced an assassination on the way half a month ago, and it was far from the time to be careless. Geese and Nie persuaded that if Aiwen really wanted to go to Odelia Port, then at least he should send someone back to inform Lionheart Valley and ask Ollie in the Mage Tower to monitor the people heading to Odelia Port. roads, so that accidents can be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Hearing the name Ollie, Alvin's somewhat heated head finally began to cool down, and finally calmed down. After thinking for a while, Ivan had to admit that there was some truth in what Guise and Nieux said. Although he felt that the possibility of another assassination was very small, he could not help but guard against the situation where the enemy was really so crazy. The most important thing is that Ivan doesn't want Ollie to waste his mental energy on territory monitoring. Although the mage tower only needs a fourth-level mage to successfully master it, Ollie's fifth-level strength is more than enough to handle it, but She was pregnant after all. Pregnant? "Oops!" Ivan slapped his head hard. He remembered with some fear that it seemed that he had promised Ollie to use Zuo Jun's arrival to hold a wedding for her. But in the end, he had no idea how to conquer Zuo Jun. After thinking too much, he forgot about the marriage and handed over half of the army to Ellison to take away. If it hadn¡¯t been for Gis¡¯ reminder, I¡¯m afraid most of the remaining 10,000 troops would have been divided again by Ivan. As the saying goes, if the number of people is tens of thousands, it is boundless. On the contrary, if the number of people falls below 10,000, the scene will look thin. By then, the wedding of Alvin and Ollie will probably become a joke. "Time is running out, I have to quickly think about how to train them" Ivan thought about it, eight months have passed now, and if it drags on any longer, Ollie might have given birth. When it comes to the navy, he directly captures Guis and Nie and asks them to put down everything in their hands. First, he takes his subordinates to help him train the army. As for the training method, it is very simple, that is, lining up and walking in goose, until they Until everything looks similar. These are the two magic weapons that every time traveler knows about training the army. Although the promotion effect on actual combat does not seem to be very obvious, the promotion on the mental outlook is very obvious. After practicing it, it is paired with a neat military uniform. With its sharp weapons, it looks like an extremely powerful army. Of course, you will wear it once you try it on. ¡¡???¡ Sorry, I have been busy with work these days.
