Chapter 490 Special Units
Back in Baymard, all leaders, heads and second-in-command in charge of all Baymardian armed forces..... had quickly gathered within Landon"s office in the palace.
Be it from the police department, marines, army, Navy, Coastal Guards, or even the regular security guards..... all the leaders had shown up right in time.
For them, Baymard was in the midst of a crisis.
To put it simply, ever since the whole spy incident..... they had already had their first meeting, where they all looked at other ways of improving Baymard"s safety.
Of course, several things were said that day and had been agreed upon.
They had already begun adjusting according to their plans.
But now, this second meeting was just for Landon to give them detailed lists and requirements on certain aspects.
More specifically, they were here to talk about the special forces, units and teams that Landon wanted to create.
.
Once the meeting began, everyone quickly looked at the lists pertaining to their areas of concern and quickly glanced through them as much as they could.
"Your majesty, this is exactly what I need!"
"Your majesty, I think this will work."
"Your majesty... once again, I really have to hand it to you.
We just came up with this idea during our last meeting, and so far... you"ve already been able to come up with a detailed outlook and structure within this short period of time?
Your majesty, your brain is really something else."
The leaders all spoke out their thoughts on the matter while skimming through the files in their hands.
In short, Landon had made the whole thing extremely easy for them.
Everyone marvelled at how detailed and straight to the point the doc.u.ments were.
Take for example the folder in Lucius" hands which had several doc.u.ments within it.
The first doc.u.ment just listed out the names of all special forces that will be introduced into the barracks.
Of course, the Official Public forces or units would be structured like so:
▪Squads (military unit with 10~11 soldiers led by a sergeant)
▪Platoons (unit of 4 squads led by Lieutenant)
▪Company (unit of 130~150 soldiers led by a Captain)
▪Battalion (400 men or about 3 Companies)
▪Regiment (2,000 men)
▪Brigade (3,000~5,000 troops led by Colonel)
▪Division (10,000~20,000 men)
.
Looking at the information for the official public units, Lucius couldn"t help but feel that this method was the best.
As per the recruiting standards for these units, he was sure that many of the soldiers would do their best to get into several of the units in the list... especially the major special squads which consisted of just 10 to 11 persons within it.
Lucius saw names like Cobra, The Black Scorpions and Hydra..... as some of the squad names picked out by Landon.
The leaders were also allowed to create their own unit names too if they wanted to.
This method was really good, because now... Lucius won"t have to worry about selecting people individually time and time again for every mission.
Now, he would just say things like: "Cobra, there"s a mission for you".
And just like that, team Cobra would do so... except if they currently had their hands tied, or had members that were severely injured.
For sure, Lucius would still have to review everyone on a team before they go out on a mission.
But now, it would be fairly easy for him to accomplish.
Anyone, having them group with each other over time was extremely useful for a mission"s success as well.
These people might bond together for several years to come... and would get to know each other better, look out for themselves and so on.
When Landon was making up these doc.u.ments, he too had appreciated the sort of friends.h.i.+p and bond that could come out of these units.
In fact, he hoped that these would be like "Ethan Hawke" and his team in "Mission Impossible!"
They should even form their own signals and understand each other way better than anyone else.
.
Lucius nodded his head in appreciation while glancing at the doc.u.ments in his hands.
He quickly decided to close the military folder, and quickly look at the police folder as well.
Of course, they were totally different from that of the military.
He also saw new departments called forensics, Homicide and so on there..... each having different units within them.
In short, everything was different for all Baymardian forces.
Gary looked at the Navy"s folder and saw new units too.... which consisted of different structures.
Unlike the military, the structures here were determined by how many s.h.i.+ps were in each unit.
He read names like; Flotilla, Squadron, Fleets, strike groups and so on.
And as the group read, they also asked several questions as well.
Lucius had just finished looking at the requirements for recruitment.... before he saw something strange.
Why would this be here?
.
"Your majesty..... why is this structural unit called "Corps" separated from the rest?" Lucius asked curiously.
"That"s because the Corps is the largest tactical unit in Baymard with 20,000 to even 70,000 people within a single Corps unit.
In other words, it synchronized artillery firing Navy firing, combat support and any other support."
"Ahh..... so it"s a joint effort from all armed forces involved with outside battles?"
"Correct!
Police officers and security guards wouldn"t be involved in this.
So it"s basically a blend of everyone else on the battlefield.
Take for example Carona needs our help.
At that moment, the Navy will help transport the marines, army and all those takes with fighting on land to Carona.
And while we battle on land, the Navy s.h.i.+ps will fire away all enemy s.h.i.+ps around.
The battle will include the land and sea."
Of course in the future, it"ll also include air forces too.
But now was not the time to confuse these people even more.
"I see your majesty..... so that"s it!"
Everyone nodded in understanding and continued reading until they reached the final pages on their files.
Secret National Units?
What was that?
