Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 147 Military Rank System

How to get military ranks? To be honest, even he couldn't explain the current military rank system in Spain.

Therefore, he thought that since the population and other sizes of Spain and the United Kingdom are not much different, and the systems are the same, then why not copy what was later adopted in the United Kingdom?

Therefore, Alfonso's initial plan was to tell Creston and Jack Stern about the idea of ​​the entire military rank of four parts, namely Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. In the end, Alfonso got the current decision. The list in front of him was distributed by them after he laid down the structure.

The Army's military rank system is divided into five levels and twenty levels, among which officers have three levels and nine levels. They are the four levels of general officers: marshal (general), general, lieutenant general, and major general; the three levels of military officers: colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major; and the three levels of lieutenant officers: captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant.

There are seven second-level soldier ranks, including the fourth-level sergeant: sergeant major, staff sergeant, sergeant, and corporal; the second-level soldier: private first class, and private.

The navy is divided into five levels with 20 ranks: generals: marshal, admiral, lieutenant general, major general, and brigadier; officers: colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major; lieutenants: captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant; soldiers rank second Seventh level: sergeant major, staff sergeant, sergeant, corporal, private, first class private, second class, recruit.

The ranks of the British Marine Corps will be divided into five levels: general, lieutenant general, major general, and brigadier general;

The school is divided into three poles, namely colonel, lieutenant colonel and major.

There are five levels of military officers: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.

The seventh level of the second class of soldiers: sergeant major, staff sergeant, sergeant, corporal, private: first class, private first class, recruit.

Compared with other groups, the Air Force has much fewer students, because the current Air Force is mainly based on airships and there are still relatively few aircraft, so the general ranks are: general, lieutenant general, major general, and brigadier general.

School level: colonel, lieutenant colonel, major.

Lieutenant ranks: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.

Non-commissioned officers: sergeant major, staff sergeant, sergeant, corporal; private: first class private, second class private, recruit.

Alfonso made a mental calculation, and judging from the current number of officers in the Spanish army, it was basically guaranteed that the first-level military rank corresponded to the first-level position. This is a more suitable solution.

Looking again, Alfonso looked at a list of names at the top of the list. These were all the main personnel of the Spanish military. Of course, they were mainly the list of generals and lieutenant generals. There were 2 generals on the list. People: Secretary of Defense Creston and Chief of General Staff Jack Stern.

There are more than 40 lieutenant generals, including Field Marshal Combs, Navy Marshal Cervera, Marine Corps Commander General Crewe, Air Force Commander General Yan Shun, Army Chief of Staff Combs, Navy Chief of Staff Don Patricio, Marine Corps Chief of Staff Raul.

Major generals are like Jason and Eshe from the two major bases in Australia. They are both at the major general level. Dehai has the commanders and staff officers of the major military regions in Spain. Group army, service deputy, chief of staff, squadron commander, some division commanders, and principal persons in charge of important departments of the three headquarters. The list of major generals is even larger than that of lieutenant generals, with more than a hundred people, including almost all officers above the deputy division level, heads of the three headquarters departments, and provincial and municipal military commanders of the National Guard.

Before Alfonso could speak, Prime Minister Eugene nodded and said: "The plan is good, but Creston, the list is a bit huge. Alaska only has hundreds of thousands of troops and 12 major armies, and together there are more than four , fifty lieutenant general level beings, with this amount, will there be some pressure at that time, especially when so many people want to move up."

"No, Prime Minister, please don't forget, these are all gained through military merit, step by step, step by step.

Especially those who have contributed a lot to maintaining peace and stability in major territories over the years, and some even have great military exploits. The awarding of titles is also a reward for their contributions on the battlefield. If not, I'm afraid it will chill them. "Jackson's words are actually expressing the problems of people's hearts by conferring titles on these people, so when he said these words, he looked at His Majesty with some anxiety on his face. If Alfonso is willing to give so much It would be even more difficult for these people to accept someone's military rank. But will there be some among them who have complaints and have no choice but to refuse the rank?

Alfonso chuckled: "This is my personal behavior and needs to be treated differently. During the war, they really put on the military uniforms and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. The credit cannot be erased. Take it or not." Receiving a military rank is purely determined by one's personal will, and those who firmly refuse will be fine. Those who want a military rank, and those who do not have a strong willingness to refuse, will still be awarded the ones that deserve it."

At this time, he had basically finished reading, heard the conversation between the two, and agreed with what Prime Minister Eugene meant. The two had been partners for a long time, knew what the other was thinking, and understood that Eugene was sending too many military generals. There is some truth to the idea that Tuda is difficult to manage. After all, there are dozens of generals standing there, and it makes people feel that the pressure is not ordinary. But there is nothing bad to say, and it is true as Jackson said, if they are not given grace and military rank and honor, then the dignity of the soldiers will not be maintained, which will make the military morale unstable. This is also absolutely true. Suo doesn't want to see it.

"Although the list of general officers is indeed a bit long. However, I took a look and found that basically the first-level military rank corresponds to the first-level position. It is very similar to other rank systems in the United States, Britain and the United States. However, those above the deputy division level are basically generals. I don’t think it’s appropriate to be an official, and it kind of disrupts the order of correspondence. It will be difficult to manage at that time. Therefore, I think that the heads of various military departments, commanders of military regions, and division-level officers will be awarded the rank of young regiment army, deputy military service, and counselor , chief of staff, and deputy corps headquarters are awarded to major generals, and corps headquarters and above, commanders of group armies and services can be awarded lieutenant generals. Individual generals with outstanding military exploits should be promoted to one rank as a reward, but in fact we have already carried out post-war positions After adjustment, most of the group army, service deputies, chiefs of staff and other officers later assigned were actually division-level cadres. After being promoted, they have already received rewards. According to their current positions, they should be awarded major generals, and there is no need to be promoted to a higher military rank. . In this way, the list can be reduced by at least nearly half, and there will be about 40 generals."

After Alfonso finished speaking, Jacksien said a little embarrassedly: "In this way, the deputy division level can only be awarded to colonel. The regiment level is awarded to lieutenant colonel, and the deputy regiment level is awarded to major. The battalion level is awarded to captain, and the deputy battalion level is awarded to lieutenant. The deputy company level can only be awarded second lieutenants. What about the platoon level and deputy platoon level? You must know that in our army, platoon level cadres are officers. My original plan was to award major generals to deputy division commanders, and then to platoon level. They can also be awarded second lieutenants at the deputy platoon level. Because we have few officers, many units at this level do not have deputy platoon level cadres, so there are not many, and most of them have military exploits, so they can be awarded second lieutenants at the same time."

Ye Feng chuckled and said: "This is actually not difficult. Let's add another military rank. The additional military rank between officers and non-commissioned officers is the warrant officer. Many countries have this military rank. It seems that the British, American and other militaries also have it. In the future We regard cadres at the platoon level as reserve officers, and it is entirely possible to be awarded the rank of warrant officer. Warrant officers are divided into three levels, the platoon level is the second level, and the deputy platoon level cadres are the three levels, but they have participated in the war and have outstanding military exploits. You can go up one level, so that the rank of first-class warrant officer is useful. A senior platoon with meritorious service can be awarded a first-class warrant officer, and a deputy platoon with meritorious service can be awarded a second-level warrant officer. In this way, the issue of awarding the rank of deputy platoon cadres with meritorious service and In the future, the corresponding situation of military ranks will be perfected."

"Well, this method is feasible." Lexton nodded in agreement at this time and looked at Jack Sean, who had no objection to this. Then a new question was raised: Your Majesty. According to you. I'm afraid that two more ranks should be added to those with military merit and should be raised one level. The ordinary officers below are easy to handle and there is room, but as for generals, aren't they a bit too few? The British, German Empire and other countries have a lot of people with this military rank. If we can communicate with each other after the sales, we will be at a huge disadvantage."

Alfonso thought for a moment before saying: "This involves an issue of honor. Because there are not many wars, a considerable number of officers and soldiers have no military merit because of the lack of wars, so we should really add a few more levels." In the military street, these military ranks cannot be added in the middle, only at the top. The top of the officer rank and the top of the non-commissioned officer rank have become a room for improvement. Only officers and soldiers who have made outstanding military exploits in wartime or special circumstances may be promoted by one level. For example, add a general rank before a general. Add a sergeant major before a staff sergeant, and there will be room for promotion below. However, in peacetime, the corresponding system of military ranks and positions should be strictly followed. Only in this way can we Reflecting the value of honor, the current group army commanders all have military exploits, but their military exploits are different, the time they have served as commanders is also different, and their years and seniority are different, so only some become generals, and the rest are still generals."

Creston and Jack Stern's eyes lit up at the same time. Creston nodded and said: "Honorary military rank, this is good. But I think adding one level is not enough. It should be one level. For example, a marshal should be added before the general. The military rank system To ensure stability, it cannot be changed from time to time, leaving people at a loss. When we implement the military rank system now, we have to think about possible situations that may occur in the future. According to the book of the future, the scale of future wars will be very large, so the operational strength of a single group army may be It is simply not enough. Two or more group armies need to act at the same time. To form a front army group, who will lead the front army? It cannot be all led by the Ministry of National Defense. It must be selected from among the group army commanders. After the war, the military merits will be evaluated and those with military merits will be selected. Headquarters leaders and front army leaders can enjoy the military rank of marshal, and group army commanders with military exploits or other generals with corresponding military ranks can enjoy the military rank of general. With these two levels, no matter what war happens in the future, there will be enough corresponding military ranks. Bonus space.”

Second update, I need to make modifications later, so I’ll upload it first.
