  Chapter 14 Graduation package distribution, is this a good thing? (Down)

   In fact, as he said, the coalition government has no authority whatsoever.

The five allied countries under the    alliance manage themselves, each with independent personnel power, financial budget and army.

  The only thing that was handed over to the official alliance was diplomatic power, and some small gifts such as "the right to decide the national anthem of the alliance" and "the right to decide the banner of the alliance" were packaged and presented.

  The major departments of the alliance government sound powerful, the Alliance Army Committee, the Alliance Finance Committee, the Alliance Judicial Committee... In fact, they have no name, they are simply decorations.

   This state of fragmentation began from the moment the Union Provinces rebelled.

   Thirty-eight years ago, there was a riot in Guitu City, which was then led by the Duke of Arleans to suppress it, proclaiming the beginning of the [Sovereign War].

   Since then, until twenty-six years ago, the emperor withdrew his troops and the war of sovereignty was declared over.

   In the past twelve years, none of the anti-imperialist armies between the two mountains could even think of leading them.

The    Union Province militias will not be commanded by the Veneta speculators, nor will the Veneta militias obey the orders of the Union Province hillbillies.

   The aristocrats of the down-royal faction always wanted to steal power and take over all the armies, but no one paid any attention to them.

   Several armies of the fallen imperial faction were not subordinate to each other, and most of the time they fought independently.

  In the end, under the military pressure of the emperor and the charisma of the old marshal, they finally formed an army—the Alliance Army—under the command of the old marshal to fight against the emperor.

   As soon as the battle was over, everyone broke up again.

  The troops from the United Provinces, Veneta and Palato returned to their hometowns and transformed themselves into the official armies of the allied countries.

  The republics of Monta and Vine, cut from the empire through sovereign wars, also established separate armies.

The old marshal    was well aware of the danger that this kind of army belonging to the allied nations would pose a danger to the peace within the alliance, but he was powerless to change the status quo that all the allied nations had in mind.

   So he thought that since the armies of the allied countries could not be unified now, he could only hope for the future.

   It is necessary to improve the communication and understanding between the militaries of the allied countries. Poor communication will lead to misunderstandings, and misunderstandings will lead to bloodshed;

   The most important thing is to nurture young people, so that the new generation of young officers of the allied countries will no longer be hostile to each other like their predecessors, and let the new generation of young officers of the allied countries forge friendships.

   When these young people become the pillars and leaders of the armies of the member countries, the differences will naturally be bridged, and the integration of the armies of the member countries will come naturally.

  So Field Marshal Ned Smith voluntarily resigned from the army and concentrated on the establishment of the Army Officers Academy.

  The management authority of the Army Officers Academy is attached to the Union Army Headquarters, which exists in name only, and the old marshal personally serves as the principal.

   This ensures impartiality, and does not give preferential treatment to the United Provinces just because the school is located in Guitucheng.

  The original plan of the old marshal was to recruit 10 students from each country in each of the five alliance countries, and 150 students for each level. After graduation, they would be randomly assigned to the military of the alliance countries.

   This trick of "mixing sand" was strongly resisted by the armies of the allied countries, and the Veneta Army was the first to jump out of the tune.

  The Veneta people firmly do not accept that their sons are sent to the "allied country", let alone accept the officers from the "allied country" to enter the Veneta army.

   On this point, the armies of the Republics rarely agreed.

   In desperation, the old marshal had to temporarily put aside the idea of ​​"you have me, I have you".

  Only keep the clause in the school seal [when conditions permit, the whereabouts of graduates should not be distributed reasonably based on their origins], and I hope that one day the republics will be able to live in harmony and friendship and use this provision.

   Therefore, the graduates of Luyuan have always been going back and forth from where they are.

   Winters is from Veneta and naturally wants to go back to Veneta.

   The old marshal's plan did not work well. At least twenty-six years later, the armies of the Republics remained separate.

   also played some role: the officers and students had been nurtured by grand allianceism for several years, and even if they did not support grand allianceism, they at least had a sympathetic attitude towards grand allianceism.

   Winters is a typical fancier-type major leaguer.

   But again, the plan didn’t change quickly.

   As soon as the old marshal retired, the situation changed. The power of the alliance extends beyond the ocean, and overseas interests urgently need to be protected.

   Therefore, there is an additional overseas dispatch for the distribution of graduates.

   At this time, 150 students per year is definitely not enough. No one will accept that their children are sent overseas.

  As a result, the Army Officers Academy has expanded its enrollment, adding 5 to 10 students on the basis of the original 50 students per subject, and Winters has 172 students this year.

   At this time, the substantive control of the Army Officers Academy has been in the hands of the United Provincial Army Department.

  The Army of the United Provinces is of course far less impartial and selfless than the old marshal, so all the students for these expanded places come from the Republic of the United Provinces.

   The inter-provincial military also changed the graduate distribution policy on the grounds of expanding enrollment.

  Other countries still come to 30 cadets every year, but when they go back, they will become 32 or 33 cadets, taking this opportunity to mix sand in the troops of other countries.

   Apparently, there would be no good treatment for federal officers sent to the Allies. But compared to overseas dispatch, it is already a good place to go to other participating countries.

   At least going to an allied country is still considered to be staying at home, and going overseas is "going to the sea standing and going home lying down".

   Therefore, during the probationary season, the most important thing for the students of the United Provinces is the distribution of their whereabouts. Is it the mainland of the United Provinces Republic? Or another member country? Or overseas dispatch?

  Students from other republics are not worried about where they come and go;

   Those students with deep family backgrounds from the United States are not worried, because their elders will never let them be sent overseas or "allied countries".

   The powerless and powerless students from the United Provinces have to look for ways around, begging their grandparents to tell their grandmothers just to stay in the homeland, and they can go to the allied countries if they can't afford it.

   Never go overseas, going overseas is a dead end.

  Bud, whose parents were both sharecroppers, could not be of much help in this major event that determined his path in life.

   Winters wrote to his uncle without telling Bud. Winters' uncle—and his adoptive father—served in the Veneta Army, and Winters hoped his uncle would help Bud.

   But the Interprovincial Army assigns its own students, how could the Veneta military get in?

  Uncle wrote back and told Winters: With the current relationship between the Interprovincial Army and the Vineta Army, if he asks for someone, the Interprovincial Army will not hesitate to send Winters' friends overseas.

   So in this matter, Bud can only wait for others to pronounce his fate, and Winters can only watch and worry.

   Graduation package assignments are not entirely a good thing.
