The Meeting Concludes

After Victor announced the rough reward plan, the atmosphere of the meeting was immediately brought to a climax. All the attendees were very excited about the reward, including several Regimental Commander.

However, Victor maintained control of the atmosphere in the meeting room. He simply raised his hand and pressed down, which quieted the entire conference room down.

"Alright, the specific reward and punishment regulations will be issued by the General Staff to each regiment. The General Staff will also send people to the barracks to explain them to the soldiers. They will also be assigned to each regiment as Military Judge."

Regimental Commander need not worry that they will interfere with your control over the troops. They are only responsible for verifying achievements and enforcing military discipline. All work will be reported to you and carried out only after your approval.

You only need to equip them with a small squad of soldiers.

Especially James and Ron, watch your tempers. I don't want to receive reports of you clashing with Military Judge. If anything goes wrong, report it directly to me.

Upon hearing Victor's words, James and Ron immediately said they would not do that.

The appointment of Military Judge is part of Victor's new reform plan following the expansion of the army, which includes a reward and punishment system.

The Military Judge selected by the General Staff had been preparing for at least six months. They had undergone meticulous training and were learning the new reward and punishment scheme formulated by Victor.

The meeting was drawing to a close, and Victor didn't linger, announcing its adjournment.

Each Regimental Commander led their subordinates out of the conference room first; they needed to direct their troops to set off and had many things to do.

Naval officers such as Sodoma and Captain Jack followed closely behind, their tasks also heavy, especially Sodoma's task of opening up the Sea Song Town with the new icebreaker.

Victor did not leave. He called out to Lodan, who was about to leave. "Lodan, according to the plan, only two detachments of your transport regiment should accompany the army. The rest of the troops will take the next convoy."

"Yes, sir, I have made the arrangements."

Victor and Lodan had already discussed this matter. This time, there were too many troops heading south, and the army of the Two Rivers Territory was also carrying a lot of war supplies, so the fleet was in a tight situation.

Victor considered that the first battle on the southward march would be a coastal operation in the Eastern Region, where supplies could be obtained solely by convoys, so the transport regiment responsible for logistical support did not need to participate extensively.

"How are the preparations going with Isaac?"

"Detachment Commander Isaac, the troops heading south have been arranged. One-third of the doctors have been transferred from the two hospitals in the territory to fill the detachment."

"Very good!"

The medical system in Two Rivers Territory was much more advanced than that of other nobles of the time. With the presence of Isaac, a skilled surgeon, the medical and surgical practices in Two Rivers Territory had made considerable progress. Combined with the special medical plants developed through plant cultivation, it was able to handle most battlefield injuries without any problems.

"Okay, there's also the construction team. If you need more people, just ask Jimmy. He'll arrange a group of suitable craftsmen for you."

Victor then said goodbye to Lodan, and after he left the conference room, he found Marcus still lingering at the conference room door.

It was only then that Victor remembered that he still needed to ask Marcus what had caused his behavior in the meeting room.

He walked over and called out to Marcus, who was pacing around. "Marcus, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? You seemed a bit distracted in the meeting."

"Oh, no, Viscount Victor, I've just been sleeping poorly lately and dozed off. I was startled awake when your men cheered."

Looking at Marcus, who looked terrified, Victor couldn't help but laugh and said, "Marcus, you should just call me by my own name. Viscount is too formal and doesn't suit me!"

"How could that be, Victor, oh Victor, please don't say that, then Baron Brown and I would be even less qualified to call ourselves nobles."

"So what do you say?"

The two argued for a while, and finally Victor persuaded Marcus to continue addressing each other by name, but Marcus did not change his way of addressing Marcus, who completely regarded himself as a vassal.

"Marcus, we've known each other for many years and are good friends. Don't worry about this Civil War, just follow me."

While I cannot guarantee that the Black Pine family will achieve a breakthrough and advancement this time, I can at least guarantee that the credit you are entitled to will not be withheld.

Marcus, believing in Victor 'Victor ability, finally made a decision. "Victor, if we win this Civil War, the Marcus Pine family will definitely follow the lead of the Golden Sunflower Family, just like Baron James's Stream Territory."

Victor looked at Marcus, confirming his firm stance, and said, "Whatever you say!"

The two parted ways, Victor returned to the Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, Regimental Commander Marvin. I am Gutierrez, Military Judge assigned to your regiment by the General Staff. It is a pleasure to join your ranks."

Marvin sized up the young officer in front of him. He was tall and strong, with thick limbs, clearly a fierce general. Combined with his physique and the scar on his left cheek, his smile was quite ferocious.

Compared to the refined and serious Military Judge I had imagined, he was more like a seasoned veteran.

At this moment, Gutierrez handed Marvin a document directly, "Regimental Commander Marvin, this is the new reward and punishment regulation. You can keep a copy. I will report to you after each military merit is tallied."

Please rest assured, despite my General Staff and even received commendation from Lord Victor.
