Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Darkus chewed raisins while flipping through the manuscript in his hand. The breeze brought some coolness and blew the manuscript, but this did not affect his immersion in the words in front of him.

He had come down from Potosi and spent some time in the province of Cuyo. There, he inspected the mobile troops stationed there and inspected the military camps and war preparation levels. In fact, there was nothing to check... After all, the mobile troops had just returned from the north, but based on the principle of coming back, he definitely had to take a look. .

This mobile force is special. It consists of an Eagle Flag Brigade and has high mobility and combat effectiveness. As a mobile force, their training is very cyclical. Half of their time is spent on daily training, physical strengthening and tactical drills. The other half of their time is responsible for the task of guarding Potosi, rotating with the garrison of Potosi to ensure that each batch Soldiers can cope with the complex terrain of mountain operations.

Later, he visited the province's famous wine-making industry.

Cuyo's wine industry is booming, especially during his visit, when winemakers were celebrating a good harvest of quality grapes. Before setting off again, his supply bag was filled again: a large bag of freshly dried raisins and two wooden barrels of sweet white wine. With these supplies, he continued south and came to the southern outpost.

During this period, he figured out one thing: there was no need to deal with coke, Sprite and juice. Although these drinks are novel, they are not suitable for the current environment and needs. In comparison, wine, an ancient drink that is simple and pure, has more vitality and is the most suitable choice.

Wine is more than just a drink, it represents a culture and a heritage. This is especially obvious among the elves. For the elves, wine is not just a simple drink, but a symbol of a way of life. The elves' love for wine comes from the heart. Whether it is a celebration, a ceremony, or a weekday dinner, wine must be a symbol of nature, Slaanesh? An intimate relationship with the spirits.

What Darkus was looking through was not an ordinary manuscript, but a manuscript of "Military Management" written by Bakron and compiled by Asperon. This manuscript provides an in-depth exploration of all aspects of military management, from strategy to tactics, especially on the core issues of how to effectively coordinate troops, maintain force combat effectiveness, and improve organization in complex operational environments.

As a veteran fear lord, Bakron combined his own combat experience to combine theory and practice very closely, while Asperon gave this manuscript a stronger system and organization through organization. He also specifically analyzed the huge threat magic posed to troops, and emphasized how to maintain the effectiveness of conventional combat on battlefields with magic and giant beasts, and use non-magical means as much as possible to counter this overwhelming force.

Overall, Darkus is satisfied. There is a beauty in looking at "strategy" and "tactics". Although this carefully designed framework and strict system are not perfect yet, they already make him feel satisfied. Like an unfinished masterpiece, the main structure is already solid and clear. It only needs a little polishing and supplementation. The future summary, second and third editions will be more perfect.

"You organize a bureau and write a military theory." After eating a raisin, Darkus put the manuscript back, then looked at Dorian who was sitting far away and said, waiting for Dorian to stand up with a serious expression. Later, he added, "'Soldier group psychological counseling theory.'"

Dorian was stunned for a moment. He knew the importance of writing military theory. It was qualifications, prestige, and proof. However, he was a little confused. He could understand every word that Darkus said, but together...

"Is the tragedy of Zahuitak actually avoidable? Their organization level is low, but..." Darkus said at the end, seeing Dorian who was still a little confused, he couldn't help but shook his head. Then he added, "I don't mean to blame you. What I want to express is that we seem to be missing a link, and it is a very important link."

"Pay attention to the psychology of soldiers?" Dorian's words were hesitant and confused, but there was also a hint of understanding. He vaguely felt what Darkos was expressing.

"It's not enough. You have to remember that soldiers are not just combat machines. They have feelings, emotions, and pressures. Every moment they experience on the battlefield will leave traces deep in their hearts. Just like us in the Sinister Group Those things you told me during our adventure in the mountains," Darkus said softly, his eyes falling on Dorian, filled with some profound meaning. His tone was calm, and every word struck Dorian in his heart.

"But... is this kind of emotional and mental state really that important? Our main focus is training and discipline." Dorian frowned, obviously thinking.

"What do you think?" This time Darkus did not respond to Dorian, but turned to look at Baclon who was sitting beside him.

"Discipline and training are important, but they are just appearances. I think the tragedy of Zahuitak is not just because of low organization. The real reason is that the mentality of the mercenaries collapsed under high pressure. Daily habits are beneficial. , who retreated without any gain, could not withstand the high-pressure battle facing Chaos for a long time, which was different from the battle on the city wall in Grond. "

Baclon said bluntly that he knew he had passed the test when Darkus put down the manuscript and turned to talking about it. Combined with his son's words, if there are no accidents, his military career in Ashriel is already on the countdown, and it won't be long before he returns to Nagaroth with Darkus and is entrusted with important tasks.

"Look, here's the problem, morale, psychological state, these are invisible but vital combat forces. If you can't understand the reactions and emotional changes of soldiers under extreme pressure, then no matter how much tactics and discipline you have, ultimately it will not work. They may all fall into disintegration. If there had been a complete and executable group psychological counseling mechanism, there might have been a different ending." Darkus stared at Dorian, as if looking through him to something deeper. place.

Dorian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but closed it hesitantly.

"It's normal that you don't understand. To understand this theory, we need to break away from traditional military thinking and regard the soldier as a complex individual with emotional and psychological reactions, not just a person who obeys orders and performs tasks. combat unit."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to Dorian, and patted Dorian on the shoulder.

"The current military system is organizationally complete, but spiritually broken. You were born in Nagarond, and you know Drukhi, so... we lack a method that can be used when the soldiers' mentality is shaken. , a means of quickly intervening and stabilizing emotions when fear spreads. This is not an ordinary morale booster, but a systematic and theoretically supported psychological counseling.”

"I roughly understand that it is necessary to provide them with a kind of mental support so that no matter how severe the situation is, they always have a clear sense of direction and goal in their hearts. Soldiers not only need physical strength, but also psychological strength. Only when their mental state and tactical system are perfectly matched can they maximize their combat effectiveness." Dorian's expression became serious, and at this moment he understood what Darkus meant. .

Darkus, who was moving with his hands behind his back, nodded. If Nagaroth had an institution similar to the Mental Center of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... He didn't dare to think how many people in Nagaroth did not suffer from mental illness. There were no Lucches, not yes, because there were so many Lucches that he couldn't even guarantee that he didn't have them.

As a special group, the military has arduous and arduous tasks, and must experience the test of life and death at any time. In daily life, the military camp environment is closed and monotonous, and psychological problems are more likely to occur under high pressure.

Psychological counseling and psychological counseling are highly professional jobs that have high requirements on the quality of workers. During consultation or treatment, they need to work patiently and meticulously, and have a relatively sound personality. Group psychological counseling for soldiers not only adapts to the actual situation of the army, helps soldiers grow psychologically, but also enriches their spare time life and exposes them to different educational activities.

In his understanding, only Credan and the military officers can do this, but now he is without roots and does not even have the most basic theoretical framework, let alone carry out specific practice. He is now calling on the Kraidans to provide psychological counseling to the soldiers. The Kraidans don’t even know what psychological counseling is. They have no idea about the term. How to carry out the practice is simply embarrassing. Praising Ed Reese Scripture? The problem is that Edreze’s religious system is currently just a framework.

It's like saying to a worker engaged in manual labor: Open an international online store for me and sell this product to other continents. People who can say this have their own mental problems, and they are big problems.

Moreover, it is troublesome for Claydan himself to have a relatively sound personality. First of all, Claydans need to be trained, counseled, and evaluated. Only he can do this.

This is not just for the military, but also for children, education, and civilians in daily life. These are all troublesome.

He wanted to ensure that the adult Druch was in a relatively normal mental state before entering the army, and was not an anti-social, destructive, or extremely stress-resistant monster. Achieving this requires abundant supplies, a prosperous life, a sound system, and targeted publicity, but these few punches are not enough. We must also put a lot of effort into education, not only to educate children, but also to educate parents.

How to create a monster that is extremely resistant to stress? Do submissive and timid children have no emotional intelligence? Cringe itself is a manifestation of emotional intelligence, and how does this kind of emotional intelligence appear?

In this regard, he came up with an idea, and after perfecting it with Drusala, he prepared a complete set of 5-point systems and matching increments. In his plan, in the future, children in Nagaros will be paid. This money will be provided by the government, but how to pay it is a matter of university.

In the original plan, he planned to wait until the child becomes an adult. After all, the situation in Drukhi society is that if the disease occurs at birth, there is a high probability of a black child. As soon as the pregnant woman opens her eyes, the child will be gone or the civet cat will be replaced by the prince. Something like this will definitely happen, so he decides to do it when he is an adult.

Now, he has further optimized it and put forward the 5-point system. Before distributing money, he conducts a comprehensive assessment of the child, which consists of physical, psychological, education, daily behavior, etc., forming a 5-point system.

For example, if a child's physical fitness and educational status pass, but the psychological evaluation fails, he will not get 5 points, but only 2 to 3 points, with a cap of 3 points, and earn a hard fee. It's hard-earned money. Children eat three meals a day at school, and their exercise and education are all done in school, funded by the government.

And put an end to violence. If there are conflicts, they should be resolved on the stage and in public. The behavior of the perpetrator will be recorded. If you cannot get full marks in the 5-point assessment, the recruiter will frown slightly and directly refuse to accept you.

He increased the score between 3 and 5 points, lengthening the span. 3 points is approximately equal to the basic salary, and 5 points is equal to full attendance, performance, etc.

Parents can continue to get sick, and they can get angry outside, go home and close the door to beat their children for fun, and torture their children in various ways. You can pile up the quantity and ensure a stable income regardless of drought or flood. This is a coping method. There is no problem with this, and it is within the scope of normal operation.

Conversely, he can also operate. He can refuse to accept after the population reaches a certain number and directly close the door.

The question is that your previous child’s assessment failed and reached the upper limit. Moreover, the government has reason to suspect that your psychological assessment is not up to standard. Once the assessment is not up to standard, you will lose your job in the textile factory and your child will be accepted by the government. You know how to play, but Dacus knows how to play better than you. Anyway, violence is in his hands.

He gave this matter to Drusala, who knew the importance of this matter and believed that Drusala would do a good job.

And it is indeed feasible. After all, the Duruchi society is there, and the population is small. Whether it is Naggaroth or Asheril, the population is concentrated in cities and settlements. The core purpose of his doing this is to get it back when it can be recovered. When the population reaches millions or tens of millions and is distributed everywhere, he can't do it.

Daily propaganda is handled by Tolandir, the Minister of Propaganda.

As for the army...

"Organization and equipment can be improved in a short period of time, but morale and the psychological state of soldiers are the most difficult to predict and control. If we can establish our own theoretical system and operating manual in this regard, our troops will no longer be easily defeated, and soldiers will always remain firm when facing extreme conditions such as dragons and large-scale magic.

Soldiers do not fight on the battlefield by discipline and punishment, but by an internal motivation. This motivation does not come from fear, nor from simple obedience, but from the recognition of their own identity and trust in the collective. They know what they are doing when they swing their weapons.

Soon, they will be back. I hope you will take the lead in writing a systematic theory to specifically explore how to manage and guide the psychological state of soldiers."

"I understand, I will do my best." Dorian took a deep breath and nodded, and the expression on his face changed from the initial doubt to a determination. He straightened his back and looked at Dacus seriously.

"You should go to bed early. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the south." Dacus' voice was calm and firm, with an unquestionable sense of authority, which made every Druki present nod silently.

After leaving the tent, he walked in the breeze of the night accompanied by Flanais, and soon he saw Genevieve swinging her legs high up in the outpost.

"I'll go up and take a look."

After a moment, he climbed up and sat next to Genevieve. After handing Genevieve a handful of raisins, he began to overlook the vast land in the south.

In the distance was a quiet night. Even with the night vision of the elves, it was dark and nothing could be seen. But soon, the outline of the Twilight Fortress gradually emerged, and a faint light suddenly burst out from the top of the fortress, breaking through the darkness. But soon, the light disappeared again, and the outline of the Twilight Fortress lurked in the darkness again.

The cool night wind lifted his robe slightly, blowing his loose hair. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the air. His mind was full of thoughts. Every decision he made would affect the fate of countless people, and the next step was crucial. (End of this chapter)
