Chapter 61: The establishment of the army

He told Coffet that he would spend some money to form the 88th Legion in a while, so he asked him to prepare in advance, and then talked about the company's future development. Xiao Jie asked Coffet to find a way to find some scientific research talents, and it would be best to set up the company's own research institute, and for the time being, it is still mainly about the research on weapons. With Xiao Jie in front of him and having a relationship with the French Academy of Sciences, he could choose some better research projects to invest, and finally successfully transform scientific research into products. In any era, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

After explaining some things, Xiao Jie left the company. He was not a patient person, so he should leave it to others to do it. He was very at ease with Coffett. Not to mention his Jewish identity, with his current relationship with the Jews, Coffett would not do anything that was not good for him. At the same time, Xiao Jie also gave him a very high salary, not everyone could afford it in this era. You should know that the average salary of French workers is less than 100 francs, and 500,000 francs is the income of an ordinary worker for the rest of his life. Moreover, Xiao Jie gave all the power of the company to Coffett without reservation, and Coffett is very grateful to him. Finally, the most important point is that Xiao Jie is the crown prince of France. Does Coffett dare to do something that is not good for him? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

The next few days were Xiao Jie's leisure time. He knew that he would be busy when the legion arrived, so he cherished this rare time of relaxation. In addition to accompanying his family, Xiao Jie stayed with Angel. He went shopping with her and listened to operas with her. Although this was a torture for Xiao Jie, who was used to listening to celebrity concerts and watching American blockbusters in later generations. He was not the kind of elegant person at all, but in order to make Angel happy, he still pretended to like him very much. The whole standard good man. Fortunately, he received good compensation at night. The boys and girls who tasted the first taste always ate the taste of the marrow, and they were exhausted every night.

It was not until a few days later that Xiao Jie discovered a problem, that was, they did not take any protective measures at that time. Xiao Jie was confused at that time. He was only 15 years old now, and being a father at this age was too young. Although this was not a big deal in the upper class at that time, if he really made a child, Napoleon would probably not agree at first. At that time, the crown prince might have to change people before he could sit in the hot spot. Later, after his repeated questioning, An Qier said that she had taken the medicine, and Xiao Jie felt relieved.

On January 25, the notice from the Army Department arrived, and Xiao Jie knew that he had to say goodbye to his happy life for the time being. Under the personal inquiry of the Army Minister Marshal Bertiere, the Army Department quickly transferred a group of elite soldiers from each legion. According to Xiao Jie's requirements, all of them were veterans under the age of 20 and had been on the battlefield. There was a reason why Xiao Jie chose these people. They had been on the battlefield and had experienced the battle between life and death, so they would not be afraid in the future battlefield. A younger age, their time to join the army was relatively short, which would be easier for accepting Xiao Jie's new ideas. More importantly, it was much easier for them to establish absolute loyalty to themselves than those veterans.

Xiao Jie knew that Berthier's active helping to draw personnel was nothing more than to please him, the so-called successor of the empire. Because Berthier's real talents among the marshals of Napoleon were relatively lower. In order to maintain his position, he could only gain the favor of those in power by doing these things.

Although all the expenses of the 88th Legion were spent by Xiao Jie himself, the Army Department was instructed by Napoleon and tried their best to help them. Therefore, under the arrangement of the Army Department, they did not build another military camp, and directly divided a part of the military camp of the Guards Legion and handed it over to the 88th Legion for use.

On the morning of the 26th, Xiao Jie arrived at the barracks of the 88th Legion. First of all, he met several major officers of the Legion. They were carefully selected by the Army Department. One of their biggest characteristics was that they were young, the oldest was only 29 years old, and the youngest was only 23 years old. It was rumored that all the rising stars in the Emperor's world were concentrated in the 88th Legion. All of them were His Majesty the Emperor training his own team for His Royal Highness. The officers selected were also very excited, because this meant that they would be the confidants of His Royal Highness. After the typical crown prince ascended the throne, their identities would rise as a result.

In order to manage these 6,000 people well, Xiao Jie temporarily canceled the organization of their regiment and battalion, and directly organized 6,000 people into 6 brigades, each with 5 squadrons and 10 squadrons. When the army needs to be expanded in the future, the reorganization will be carried out.

In the conference room of the legion, Xiao Jie met several of his subordinates. Deputy Commander: Colonel Dugor, 29 years old. Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Ek, 27 years old. Captain of the First Brigade: Major Mengti, 25 years old. Captain of the Second Brigade: Edmond, 24 years old. Captain of the Third Brigade: Major Mike, 25 years old. Captain of the Fourth Brigade: Major Brad, 23 years old. Captain of the Fifth Brigade: Major Marcos, 24 years old. Captain of the Sixth Brigade: Major Rex, 25 years old. Among them, the first, the second and third brigade are infantry brigades, the fourth brigade is cavalry brigade, the fifth brigade is artillery brigade, and the sixth brigade is transportation brigade.

Xiao Jie's childhood friends also joined the legion under his arrangement and all served as squadron captains. However, they were not in the same brigade. Carl was in the first brigade, Kurt was in the second brigade, Thomas was in the fifth brigade, Dioca and Roddy were in the sixth brigade. Separating them was just to avoid people saying that he was in the army's mountain.

Xiao Jie was very enthusiastic about his subordinates and did not put on any airs, which made him quickly gain their favor. He encouraged them to do their best in the future and strive to train the 88th Legion into the most elite legion of the empire. Several of his subordinates also expressed that they would do their best to serve him. But Xiao Jie did not naively believe that they would be loyal to him immediately, and maybe others would be sent here to be undercover. The cavalry officer Brad was very much like Murae sent, of course this was just Xiao Jie's guess. Without real evidence, all he had to do was to get their allegiance in the future.
