Resettling Retired Soldiers (Taking a Temporary Day Off on the 11th)

That afternoon, several Regimental Commander and Lodan from the Logistics Department arrived at Victor's Ducal House.

During this period, apart from James needing to return to his territory to oversee operations, the other Regimental Commander and Lodan had just been granted titles but were still handling their duties, at most finalizing their family names and crests, so they weren't too busy.

Although their respective territories have been confirmed, considering that they have only just begun to receive immigrants, the land is still completely barren, and there is really no work that requires them to build it themselves. Therefore, they mostly stay in the Main Camp in Wood Fort Town.

James happened to be back in Wood Fort Town on business when he received Victor's summons.

After entering the Ducal House, the group huddled together to discuss what it takes to become a nobleman, with James, as the senior member, naturally becoming the center of the conversation.

"In my opinion, being a nobleman is just so-so, with a lot of messy things to deal with. Look at me, a viscount, I still have to run around dealing with matters concerning my territory. It's not as enjoyable as being Regimental Commander!"

..."

Victor James's know-it-all attitude as he kept babbling on and on, Victor shook his head and smiled wryly. James had always left his territory to the steward, and even those few villages and towns were built with aid from the Two Rivers Territory. What had James done to deserve this? Fortunately, Victor didn't intend to expose him in this situation.

Victor coughed twice, and everyone immediately quieted down and sat up straight. After all, they were all long-time subordinates who were very familiar with their boss's style of doing things, so they reacted very quickly.

Victor looked at everyone with satisfaction, even though there were only seven people in the room, including himself: James, Ron, Santos, Marvin, Captain Jack, Sonanda, and Lodan. Foss and his troops were still stationed in the eastern Golden Sunflower Territory.

However, the current group of people is already considered the core of the territory's military group. They are all legitimate independent nobles and his vassals.

With his father-in-law, Count Benjamin, and his vassal nobles, as well as Viscount Brown and Viscount Markut, the Golden Sunflower Faction had become a significant force in the North Vira Province.

It can be said that it is second only to the Iron Birch Faction. Of course, the Golden Sunflower Faction is also a branch of the Iron Birch Faction. However, Victor's performance in the Civil War was so outstanding that many nobles were willing to single him out.

Moreover, according to Victor's judgment, this statement was likely also influenced by Alex. After all, the Civil War was over, and the Vela Region was incorporated into the Raine Kingdom, becoming an overseas territory of the kingdom. If the Iron Birch Family displayed too much strength and prestige, it would certainly arouse the kingdom's suspicion.

However, Victor did not intend to discuss these matters here. He quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "I have gathered you here today because I have some good news to share with you!"

As you know, after the end of this Civil War, we returned to Two Rivers Territory and began to reward and provide pensions to the military system. After these tasks are completed, a demobilization will be carried out.

A certain number of troops in the territory should be reduced, and each unit should be downsized, but the basic structure should remain unchanged.

The issue we now face is the resettlement of some veterans who have reached retirement age and some Auxiliary Troops.

At this point, Victor saw that everyone present immediately perked up, knowing that they had thought of something, so he continued, "These veterans are not disabled soldiers. The reason they were discharged from the army is, on the one hand, because they are too old; on the other hand, even after training, they are not qualified to serve as Squad Leader or higher-ranking military officers."

But that doesn't mean they lack the ability or are incapable of fighting!

Among them are your subordinates, and I think you all understand their value as seasoned veterans.

Although the Auxiliary Troops who were also dismissed were not as capable as the combat soldiers who remained in the army, they had fought alongside the main force throughout the entire Civil War. It was a pity to let them return to being farmers.

In particular, many of them are young people, and as long as they maintain a certain amount of military training, many of them can meet the requirements to become combat soldiers.

So I have an idea..."
