Chapter 360: Incompetent Militia



"Two thousand people choose fifteen hundred. The number of those who don't get selected is too small. It's too embarrassing." Ma Yue said, "Try to have everyone come. Our Hai tribe will also have a militia parade. We have large livestock, so it won't take many days to go back and forth."

It's also a psychological issue. If you're the only one out of four teams not selected, and you're the only one selected out of eight teams, the psychological experience is very different. Those who are selected feel honored, while those who aren't will envy you and work harder in the future.

"Let Big Bad Wolf and Luo Bai lead the militia in person to select soldiers, and they will also be judges." Ma Yue said this, and everyone laughed. With this comparison, at least one of Big Bad Wolf and Luo Bai would be angry and ashamed.

"Don't laugh. Haifan City has also sent out 2,000 regular soldiers to participate in the military parade. If you can't even beat the militia, you, Wu Qi, will be a piece of shit, hum!" Ma Yue said sternly.

Theoretically, Shuichong is the chief of the navy, and in Haifan City, Wu Qi is the chief of the army. If the military training in Haifan City is not good, it is of course your responsibility, Wu Qi.

Ma Yue decided on the general policy, and the specific details would be determined by the leaders. Of course, since Luo Bai and Gray Wolf were also judges, Hong Lingyu sent a letter, so they should also participate in the formulation of the rules for the judges, right?

After all, a military parade isn't an actual battle. You can't really use cavalry to charge an infantry phalanx, right? For a formation to work, order is essential, right? What about order during the march, order during the commands, order during the changes of formation, order during the charge, and so on?

Ma Yue's emphasis on military discipline was not on individual prowess, but rather on uniformity, with the battalion as the most fundamental unit. After all, a battalion already contained various types of soldiers: sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, or lancers. At the same time, if you mounted a horse, you were a cavalryman.

Do you think military training is easy? It's not something you can train in just three or five days. Fortunately, the militia has been training for a year or two, which is more than enough time. If you can't train good soldiers, your captain and the branch chief will have neglected their duties.

Militia members are given food during rotation training, and even mutton every now and then. If you're given free food and can't even train to be a soldier, how dare you call yourself a militia member?

A month later, the grand Haifan City military parade kicked off in the west of Haifan City.

"So nervous? This is just a military parade. If a real war breaks out, how can such soldiers be effective?" Ma Yue's words made Luo Bai's old face turn red. He could even fall down while the whole team was marching.

"Why did you fall off the horse again? Big Bad Wolf, is this the result of your usual cavalry training?" Ma Yue was unhappy. The cavalry didn't ask you to take both hands off the reins to throw the lance. You fell off with one hand holding the reins. What kind of cavalry are you?

Being scolded by the charlatan, Wolf was confused. He had inspected himself before, and he had diarrhea at the critical moment.

"This brigade is quite interesting, infantry converted to cavalry, the echelons are very neat..." Ma Yuegang smiled a little, "Oh my god! Our own cavalry ran into our own cavalry, how can this be possible!"

One of the squadrons of cavalry was in disarray.

"Luo Bai, Grey Wolf, our Sea Tribe provides food for free, yet you raise such militiamen?" Ma Yue was getting angrier and angrier.

"You charlatan, the cavalry don't have enough rotation training." Luo Bai was upset.

"Large livestock don't usually plow the land. Give me a reason."

What a bullshit reason! The militia is the reserve force of the Sea Tribe. In times of war, they will be deployed to the battlefield.

"Look at the soldiers trained by Wu Qi, are they real soldiers?" Ma Yue was very satisfied with the regular soldiers of the Hai tribe.

"You charlatan, this is the regular battalion of soldiers withdrawn from the Kirishima branch." Luo Bai put on some eye drops in time.

"Uh..." Wu Qi looked embarrassed.

"Isn't this brigade the Kirishima branch?" Ma Yue asked.

"You charlatan, it's different. Most of the regular soldiers from our Sea Tribe have experienced various wars and have good psychological qualities. Of course, they are not nervous." Gray Wolf is still not convinced. Can the regular soldiers of the Sea Tribe be compared with the militia?

"Oh, what you said does make some sense." Ma Yue had no objection. Military fighting and ordinary private fighting are two different concepts. The army that has experienced bloody battles has a different temperament.

The militiamen had almost no experience in the overall war of the Sea Tribe and were mostly "new recruits".

That being said, Ma Yue couldn't just go off and fight for no reason, could he? The Hai Tribe's war had to have a purpose.

"Spirit, there's actually more than one Blue Tribe in the Southern Forest. The Thunder God Tribe revived its strength by conquering the Southern Forest," Gray Wolf said. "So, there are also large tribes in the Southern Forest that can use militia..."

"Grey Wolf, stop talking nonsense. The tribes in the Southern Great Forest are all poorer than the other. What's the point of attacking them?" Luo Bai was unhappy. If we attack the Southern Great Forest, your Nankai City is close, but what about our Beida City? Are we just watching?

Besides, if the Sea Tribe goes to war, people will die. What’s the point of fighting if there are no huge gains?

"What do you mean?" Ma Yue looked at Luo Bai.

"Spirit, do you remember the Meteorite Tribe? There's more than one primitive tribe in the western forest of Qiuhai City. They have horses and pigs, so it's worth a visit." Luo Bai said, "Let's not go to the Meteorite Tribe that far away. If we attack from the direction of the forest closest to Qiuhai City, it's not too far away."

"Alright! Select three battalions of militia, and Haifan City will send another battalion. Two thousand people will be enough."

"Who's going?" Luo Bai and Gray Wolf's eyes widened. After all, these two people like to fight, and as for the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they would rather not do it if they can avoid it.
