Bard, Captain Morrow and Lieutenant Colonel Jeska stayed at Jevodan, Major Seber and Andre were leading the cavalry to patrol outside, so only Winters and Mason were in the camp at the moment.
Colonel Bode led the intermediate officers of the three counties to Winters' camp with only one purpose - to have a meeting.
Winters sent people to find Senior Mason who was counting the baggage, eleven officers from the three counties, two officers from the Tiefeng County, and two officers from the coalition commander, Colonel Bode, who was elected as the new commander of the New Reclamation Legion. A total of fourteen officers started a military parliament in the stable.
Unlike the "military meetings" in dramas and poems where the generals quarrel and make brilliant plans, the content of the pre-war meeting of the academy officers has always been very simple, that is, "settling accounts".
"After the expansion of the previous year, General Adams's troops directly under his command had ten brigades. After the Maple Stone Incident, these troops were all incorporated by the traitor Chloe." Colonel Skur continued to serve as the "account book" and said based on his memory: "General Adams also saved at least four squadrons of cavalry, which also fell into the hands of the traitors."
Winters placed ten "soldiers" pieces on the map representing ten brigades, and four knight pieces representing four cavalry squadrons.
Colonel Skur also said: "The New Reclamation Expeditionary Force - that is, Saner's troops - also has at least four brigades and two cavalry squadrons."
Winters put more pawns.
Colonel Skur continued: "Whether it is the traitor's troops or the New Reclamation Expeditionary Army, the equipment and training level are quite good. Especially the New Reclamation Expeditionary Army, they can be regarded as the only direct line in Grove Magnus's hands, and Saner is the reliance of the army that Grove Magnus tried hard to cultivate."
Colonel Geisa spat viciously: "When Hurd Barbarians came to plunder us last year, we were grateful for the great parliament sending elite soldiers and generals. As a result, in a blink of an eye, the poisonous snake turned around and bit us - the poisonous snake of Grove Magnus! It was not trustworthy at all!"
"That is, the enemy has at least 7,000 well-trained infantry, 1,100 qualified cavalry, and may be assigned to artillery units." Colonel Skur calmly concluded: "With the defense of Maple Stone City and Maple Leaf Fort, armed militias of 1,500 to 2,000 people can be recruited."
No one was present to object.
"But their problem is the dispersion of troops and morale." After listing the advantages of the enemy, Colonel Skur began to explain the enemy's disadvantages:
"Maple Stone City and Maple Leaf Fort both need someone to defend, and Saner and Chloe cannot be fully exposed. Therefore, their troops will inevitably be dispersed."
"And the troops originally affiliated with the Xinkendi Legion surrendered because of inertia and would not willingly be loyal to the traitors. According to the information, in order to fill the gap for grassroots officers, the traitor Chloe appointed a large number of 'honor officers' - the guys who spent money to buy the status of an officer."
A few disdainful sneers came from the officers present.
"Morality cannot be considered, and the enemy must be lenient." Colonel Bode turned his head and coldly taught his juniors a lesson. The younger generations: "If we expect the enemy to put down our weapons and surrender as soon as the war begins, then we might as well disband now, kneel at the feet of the traitor and beg for his forgiveness, and do not waste the lives of the soldiers in vain."
The school officials and lieutenants stopped talking.
"Finish the enemy's account." Colonel Bode came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Next, let's calculate our account."
Compared with the accounts of the "Reorganized New Reclamation Legion" and the New Reclamation Expeditionary Army, the accounts of the four counties' coalition forces do not need to be calculated at all, and the officers present knew it.
All the Baishan County garrison troops were devoted to six brigades - two more brigades were expanded compared to last year.
Because Leiqun County and Bianjiang County needed to guard against the Red Rose Army in the Northern Footh Mountain Province, a total of seven brigades were dispatched.
However, the two counties also took out all seven squadrons of cavalry, most of which were temporary recruits, and a small number were elite cavalry.
And the new army of Tiefeng County, which is small and has all the internal organs - according to the calculation method of the Alliance Army - has a total of four infantry brigades, one thousand two hundred cavalrymen, and... three gates carry six-pound long cannons.
In fact, after a winter of expansion, the new army of Tiefeng County has expanded to twenty companies of the Fifth Battalion, with a book of 2,400 troops.
However, the newly compiled Fifth Battalion was left by Winters to guard Revodan, so the troops dispatched this time were four brigades.
The four counties have a total of 8,160 soldiers, 2,460 light and heavy cavalry, and three unique artillery pieces of the Tiefeng County Army.
According to the book numbers, even in the face of the "Reorganized New Reclamation Legion" and the New Reclamation Expeditionary Army, the four-county coalition forces also had the advantage.
"Then there is only one thing left." Colonel Bode's eyes flashed with fire: "Is it saving Jinghu County?"
