Macho Wars

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"Please show your ID."

Without a word, Dragon took out his ID and handed it to the head of the military police captain. At this time, Yunlong, wearing a bathrobe, also came to the door and brought Dragoon a shirt and military jacket.

When the gendarmes looked at the documents in hand, they didn't expect Dragoon to be a colonel, and they were immediately taken aback.

The captain of the military police suddenly realized it. No wonder when he opened the door just now, he felt that the shirtless man in front of him was a bit familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere. It turned out to be a celebrity from the Marine Brigade who had been in the newspaper several times.

Although the military police are well-known in the army, they are only soldiers. They must salute first, just like the officers.

"I'm sorry, Colonel Li, the junior officer didn't recognize you just now."

"It's okay, where the job is, I can understand. You are knocking on the door in such a hurry, shouldn't you come here to catch me?"

"Uh... it's not, sir. We just received a report that our soldiers had made trouble and killed someone in a nearby bar and were hunting for the suspect."

"Can you determine which unit it belongs to?"

"Yes... it's a corporal in the Marine Corps. He shot and killed a local couple in the tavern."

"grass!"

When it heard that the Marines were making trouble, and they had killed people, Dragon's face suddenly changed very badly.

All along, tightly grasping the military discipline has always been the top priority of Dragoon's military governance.But he himself also knows that soldiers are human beings after all, and experiencing war will cause soldiers to have all kinds of negative emotions, and they need a vent.

Now that such a mess has happened, Dragon suddenly lost his mind, put on his clothes, and returned to the troop station with Yunlong, so that the second battalion commander Jack who stayed behind immediately contacted all the officers and soldiers who went on vacation. Call everyone back.

Dragon is still not sure whether the guy who made the trouble and murdered was his own soldier, but if it was, it would be considered a shooting and should be executed by him.

Fortunately, before dawn, all the independent regiment soldiers who went on vacation were called back. Many of them were drunk, but none of them caused trouble and murder.

This made Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, but also faintly worried about the situation of the 771 and 772 regiments.

At noon the next day, the soldiers who caused the trouble were finally captured by the Marines who had dispatched themselves.When he found this guy, he had already ran to the outskirts of Nas.

After he woke up from alcohol, he finally realized what he had done yesterday, because he was worried that he was not a nobleman and that he might be shot by the military police when he returned, so he chose to abscond with fear of crime.

After some interrogation, the corporal squad leader of the 772 regiment's three battalions and four companies explained everything.He tried to assault a young girl in public at a bar, but was stopped by the girl's boyfriend, so he shot the two to death.

The impact caused by this incident is very bad, and it is really embarrassing to say it.Kane discussed with several group leaders and pulled out and shot him in public.

Seeing that the empire had severely punished the offending soldier, Tarrance sent someone to apologize to them, and relied on the Tarrance government supported by the empire, so this vicious incident was lightly exposed.

But Dragon got some warnings from this incident.

Chapter 289 Sergeant Reform

As a deformed army that is constantly developing deformed under the deformed technological tree, the Imperial Army has a lot of problems that need to be solved in many respects.

There are loopholes in the system and deficiencies in management. It can be said that this army is not so unbearable because of the foil of its peers.However, the fact that the problem is usually not prominent does not mean that the problem itself does not exist.

All along, the imperial army's main means of maintaining military discipline has all relied on the gendarmerie system.But after all, the military police are only law enforcement agencies, and the deterrence brought by punishment alone is not enough to play a preventive role.

After all, people have a fluke mentality. Many veteran soldiers will even instill wrong life experiences when teaching recruits. As long as they are not caught by the military police on the spot, it is not considered a crime.

While this vicious incident may seem like a case at first glance, it is actually a common phenomenon.

Because of the retreat from the Marine Brigade to Nass for rest, in just five days, the number of fights and fights caused by drunkenness exploded.After a few cups of horse urine, I couldn't even remember who I was.

In addition to fights, another troublesome problem comes from the lower bodies of the soldiers.After all, not everyone is like Dragon, who can go to the battlefield with husband and wife and sprinkle dog food against the enemy and us. The more in the army are those single dogs who have not married.

This group of guys took advantage of going out on vacation, first satisfying the desire to speak up above, and naturally they will not treat the "little brother" below when they are full.

Some rely on their ability to tease their sisters, and some rely on money for consumption. As long as you are willing, the military police generally do not care, but there are always some people who are not very disciplined.

According to statistics from the gendarmerie, these days they have arrested almost a reinforced platoon just because they are strong criminals, and some "special fans" have aimed their evil eyes on the naive minors.

There was a major in the 771 regiment who was accused of abducting a nine-year-old girl.When the military police caught the grandson in the hotel, he even argued that he was only teaching his little sister to play chess.

The guy who should have had his third leg broken is now being held in the confinement room of the gendarmerie. Every time the patrolling guard passes by his door, he can't help but spit on the iron gate.

Thanks to the "effort" of these soldiers, the local people's attitude towards the Imperial Army is far less enthusiastic than when they first arrived.

And the corruption of military discipline affects not only the local residents, but also the top military leaders.Once this kind of thing begins to emerge, if it is not decisively contained, it will soon spread among more soldiers.

In the words of Dragon, it is difficult for a person to reform and rehabilitate. It requires a strong will, but self-willingness to fall is only in a single thought.

So while the situation had not deteriorated further, Brigade Commander Kane decisively ordered that all officers and men’s vacations should be cancelled, and they should be fully armed for 10 kilometers off-road every day, and use physical training to drain their energy that has nowhere to vent.

But this is not a long-term solution after all, and the soldiers' ideological status is still the same as before, and has not been improved.Dragon specifically sought out Kane for this, and talked with him about some of his thoughts.

Regarding the ideological work of soldiers, Dragon first thought of the political commissar system.But he then thought about it, if he really wanted to do this in the current empire, he was afraid that he would not be directly crooked to the world line of "Warhammer 40K".

But thinking about it, it's quite interesting (laughs).

So Dragon thought for a while and decided to step back first and take back the "non-commissioned officer system" that was once thrown away by the Imperial Army.

The non-commissioned officer system first appeared in the early days of the imperial leadership revolution. It was proposed by the university scholar Stallone to retain some high-quality backbones for the increasingly professional army and form the backbone of the army.

But this seemingly useful system was not welcomed by the imperial army at that time.

It should be understood that before the Guidance Revolution, the Imperial Army was a standard feudal army, and there was no essential change because the weapon was replaced with a rifled flintlock.Ninety-nine percent of the grassroots soldiers are illiterate farmers and small craftsmen, and only a small number of soldiers around the noble officers can fight better, and their fighting will is decent.

Therefore, when university scholars proposed the noncommissioned officer system, these noble officers all subconsciously thought that Stallone was trying to grab their soldiers, and they were naturally unhappy.

However, the university scholars at that time were in the midst of the sky, deeply trusted and respected by the imperial emperor. These noble officers did not dare to sing the opposite, and could only secretly demolish the platform.

First, through the Noble Senate, they made small-scale changes to the noncommissioned officer system proposed by the university scholars, and lowered the salary of noncommissioned officers to be lower than that of the soldiers.Then he turned his head and propagated to the big soldiers below that the non-commissioned officer and the military officer are two lines. If you become a non-commissioned officer, you can't be an officer, and you will still be a soldier until you retired.

The soldiers saw that being a non-commissioned officer was so deficient, and his salary was limited, and there was no way to promote an officer. It was better to be a soldier for the noble lords.

At least as a soldier, when the master is promoted in the future, they will be able to ascend to heaven with them.

As a result, the distorted noncommissioned officer system lasted less than ten years before being jointly overthrown by the noncommissioned class. Corporal sergeant sergeants merged into the officer system and became the lowest level. This result can be said to be full of irony.

However, the failure of the university to implement the noncommissioned officer system was mainly due to the limitations of the times, just like his old man was headshot by a mentally ill sharpshooter. It was purely hasty.

Today's imperial army has improved a lot compared to decades ago, and the noble officers also realized the importance of the basic-level backbone to the army and called for the restoration of the noncommissioned officer system.

Dragon felt that since their Marine Corps was a new army with an experimental nature, they should also experiment with the non-commissioned officer system and do it on a small scale first.

In the new non-commissioned officer system, the first point is to improve the salary, so that it can be motivated. Then, the status of the non-commissioned officer can be clarified. It can even give high-ranking non-commissioned officers some small privileges that even officers do not have. Senior non-commissioned officers must salute first and so on.

In terms of functions, noncommissioned officers must assume a certain role as a "political commissar". They must not only train soldiers' combat skills, but also educate them ideologically, so as to become a trusted eldest brother in the minds of soldiers and a role model for longing for.

Therefore, the selection of non-commissioned officers must also be linked to discipline.A soldier scum with poor quality, no matter how strong his combat ability is, he can't be a non-commissioned officer.
