"Line up!"
With a loud roar, 3,000 recruits and veterans lined up one by one in the square.
"How many times have I said this, I can't even stand upright! Stand up straight!"
An instructor acting as a German Guard soldier went up and kicked a bent recruit.
"I'm sorry sir!"
The recruit was kicked, his face became tense and he immediately stood up straight, for fear of being punished.
"How many times have I told you to call the instructor, I am not a nobleman! In the future, there will only be officers in the army, no masters!"
The instructor had a gloomy face and reprimanded loudly.
"It's the instructor!"
Three thousand soldiers, including one thousand veterans and two thousand new recruits.
Fortunately, the veterans are only training the discipline of the queue. The veterans have been soldiers for many years, and they have survived previous large and small battles.
But the recruits were crooked and crooked one by one.
"Smith."
Nerón was wearing a brand-new black military uniform with an armed belt tied around his waist, making him look tall and handsome.
He wore a hat with a large brim on his head, the brim of which was pulled down slightly, covering his eyes and revealing a tall nose bridge and a knife-like chin.
"His Majesty."
The German instructor came over.
"Pull the queue training first, and prepare for physical training."
Nerón said.
"yes."
Smith nodded.
Nerón plan is to keep only 2,000 troops. As for the extra 1,000 recruits, if they can persevere in physical training, they can also be allowed to stay in the army.
"All recruits and veterans."
Nerón walked to the high platform and stood still, scanning the recruits and veterans lined up in a company of one hundred people below, he said loudly.
"I am your king, Nerón."
As soon as this sentence came out, the veterans were fine, but the recruits immediately became a little riotous.
"Your Majesty the King."
"His Majesty the King has come to see us in person!"
Many young recruits were excited for a while.
Nerón exempted them from the heavy tax this year. For the people at the bottom, Nerón is a peerless good king.
"Soldiers, you are all warriors who defend the country, but warriors must also be selected! They must also be honed!"
"If you are disabled or dead during training, then the kingdom will pay for you, support you, and support your family!"
"If you can stand out from the rest of the training layer by layer, you will get a medal of honor from me personally!"
An honor from the King himself!
Immediately, not only the recruits, but even the veterans were a little rioted.
This is the highest honor!
Medals presented to them personally by their great Majesty the King.
"In the next ten-kilometer long-distance race, the company that won the first place will receive the honor of the brave company awarded by me personally. This is an honor that belongs to the collective 100 members of your company!"
"At the same time, you can enjoy the highest quality food in the next few days of meals, and the next month's salary will be the highest among everyone!"
"But please pay attention, only when more than 50 members of your company cross the finish line at the same time, can you pass the test!"
Nerón waved his hand, and immediately several knights came over carrying several boxes, and the boxes were opened in front of many soldiers.
The first and second boxes are full of various meats, vegetables, and cheeses.
Looks like it's all first class.
In the past, only nobles could eat this!
The third box turned out to be a box of gold coins! All the soldiers' eyes were straightened.
"The next words are for the veterans."
"Ten companies among you are veterans of our Kingdom of Rose. After so many years of fighting, you are considered elite in the old army, but the new army is different!"
"The new army pays attention to discipline, and at the same time, in the next ten kilometers long-distance race, if you lose to the recruit company, then not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be punished! Do you understand?!"
Nerón glanced at those veterans, the special structure on the square was enough to clearly send every word of Nerón to their ears.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! We are all veterans, how could we lose to a group of recruits who have just joined the army!"
"Yes! Give these recruits some color in the next training! Let them know the gap between veterans and recruits!!"
All the veterans worked hard one by one, and decided to give these new recruits some flair.
"The same goes for recruits, any company among you, if you reach the finish line before all the veteran companies, then you can also enjoy the first place treatment!"
This sentence made all the recruits boil!
There is only one first place, but there can be more than one place surpassing the veteran!
"So what about veterans! You can still surpass them!"
"His Majesty is watching us! Long live!!"
All the soldiers looked excited, and they shouted loudly.
The Rotis were stunned by Nerón side.
Because he really didn't expect that Nerón would mobilize all the soldiers' emotions with such a few words, such simple words!
Looking at the excited and shouting soldiers below, Rotis respect for Nerón grew a little more in his heart.
"Rotis."
"His Majesty."
Rotis quickly responded.
"I said before that I made you a viscount, but now I have cut off all the privileges of the nobility, so I feel that I owe you something."
Nerón words made Rotis excited, and he immediately knelt down on one knee, and replied in fear and fear: "Your Majesty does not owe you anything, it is a great honor for you to serve Your Majesty!"
"After the training, I decided to let you be the regiment commander and manage these soldiers. What do you think?"
Hearing this sentence, Rotis was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
"Okay, don't think that this commander is easy to do. The new army is different from the old army. You can learn from Smith during this time."
Nerón waved his hand and said.
"yes!"
"Now, the preparations begin. All soldiers form a company and set off in line. The end point is Rum Village outside the city of Rose!"
Nerón roared, announcing the start.
For the ten-kilometer run, Nerón didn't really ask them to compete, but to train their tenacity!
Only soldiers with perseverance and tenacity can persevere, and it is stipulated that a company of more than 50 people can reach the finish line at the same time to win. The purpose is to train their team spirit!
Morale, tenacity, discipline, teamwork, and collective honor are of paramount importance to an army.
It is also the essential difference between the new army and the old army!
The old-style army would be defeated if the casualties reached 20%, or even 10%, but the new-style army could endure 80% casualties and persist in fighting!
Not even retreating until the last man dies!
From this point of view, there is a huge gap between the new army and the old army!
