Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 51 This is a talent company! Chu Feng: "The troops can be expanded!"

Unconsciously, Chu Feng's gaze fell upon the recruitment card for the intermediate infantry company.

His eyes were brimming with barely concealed excitement and exhilaration: "Wow! This recruitment card is interesting!"

"A company of 180 infantrymen, trained for 3 years and in actual combat for 5 years, with an average skill level of intermediate level."

"What's outrageous is that both the company commander and platoon leader are military academy graduates. Is this even an infantry company?"

"This is definitely a reserve force for commanders!"

"A company commander under my command can be used as a battalion commander, a platoon leader can be used as a company commander, a squad leader can be used as a platoon leader, and an ordinary soldier can be used as a squad leader!"

"If this isn't a cadre, then what is it?"

To be honest, why isn't Chu Feng in a hurry to expand the troops and integrate the other guard units?

Is it a lack of weapons and equipment?

No! We don't lack weapons and equipment at all! What we lack is talent!

These current company commanders are very qualified to be company commanders, but making them battalion commanders would be a bit like forcing seedlings to grow too fast.

This is why he only established a combat battalion, while maintaining other guard companies and guard platoons.

But this intermediate infantry company is different!

With him, he could rely on these 180 men to form a second combat battalion.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng quickly shook his head: "No, to be precise, we should shuffle these 180 people, combine them with the first combat battalion in pairs, and then directly expand them into two full-strength combat battalions!"

"If we were even bolder, expanding it to three combat battalions would be more than enough."

"As for the lack of battalion-level officers, don't intermediate infantry companies have company commanders and deputy company commanders?"

"They each served as the commander of two combat battalions, and each also held the position of commander of one of them."

"Awesome!"

Chu Feng had no choice but to give a thumbs up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without weapons and equipment, the troops have no combat effectiveness.

Without talented personnel, the military cannot expand rapidly.

Now that we have the weapons and equipment, and the personnel problem has been initially solved, it's perfect.

Chu Feng couldn't help but look at the two rewards and exclaimed, "Although there are only two upgrade rewards this time, each one is incredibly valuable!"

Without hesitation, Chu Feng immediately said, "System, I want to use the Intermediate Infantry Company Recruitment Card!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the intermediate infantry company recruitment card disappeared, and a system notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully using the Intermediate Infantry Company Recruitment Card. 180 commanders and soldiers will report for duty within 72 hours."

Hearing the system notification, Chu Feng smiled happily and began to look forward to seeing how these 180 commanders and soldiers would appear.

"Great! Great!!"

"With these 180 intermediate infantrymen, it's time to put the expansion of my guard regiment on the agenda!"

Having resolved a pressing issue, Chu Feng felt much more relaxed. After checking the first reward, he immediately looked at the second one.

"Buff, or learning buff?"

Without hesitation, Chu Feng began to examine the specific effects of the buff, nodding as he looked.

When his gaze finally fell upon the +1% inspiration effect in the learning attribute.

He was taken aback at first, then asked with some surprise, "System, what does 'inspiration +1%' mean?"

Upon hearing Chu Feng's question, a system notification sounded.

"Host, every commander who receives a buff during their studies has a 1% chance of comprehending something deeper."

"If this explanation is a bit convoluted, then to put it simply, you can think of it as a kind of talent, the ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, and an increased capacity for expanding one's thinking."

Hearing the system's explanation, Chu Feng instantly understood: "Oh, I see!"

"If you're talking about talent, or the ability to expand one's thinking, then I can understand!"

Unconsciously, Chu Feng began to consider the overall effect of the buff: "Focus represents whether one can sit still and whether one is easily distracted by external factors."

"Understanding memory is simpler: can you remember it, and can you understand it after you've remembered it?"

"These are all superficial and basic things that every ordinary person has, but having them doesn't mean you're good at them."

"But that 1% inspiration—that's something only geniuses can have!"

"It's already quite remarkable that an ordinary person can sit still, remember, and understand!"

"The difference between geniuses and ordinary people is that, on top of the basics, they can grasp some subtle directions and achieve greater results."

At this point, Chu Feng gave the system a thumbs up.

"Great! This inspiration is very insightful and powerful!"

"The downside is only 1%, which is a bit low."

Faced with Chu Feng's insatiable greed, the system chose to ignore him.

Chu Feng didn't pay any attention and then looked at Buff's summary of himself.

"That's right, very fair. The buff's effect isn't really that amazing."

"Moreover, learning itself goes against human nature. Apart from top students, very few people would say they love learning."

After reviewing the two rewards, Chu Feng's gaze fell on the attribute panel.

"I currently have 79628 merit points. How should I use these merit points?"

His gaze involuntarily fell on the buffs, and then he looked at the personal combat skills and personal command skills.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Feng thought to himself, "As for personal combat skills, I don't think it's necessary to improve them for now."

"As the regimental commander, my main task is to command and train the troops."

"Personal skills are rarely used except in emergencies. As for participating in combat, that's just a side effect. My current level is sufficient."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted back and forth between personal commands and buffs.

Chu Feng is currently hesitant about personal command skills, which are quite important, but not urgent.

If he were to command a column, or a division or brigade now, then he should be promoted.

But if it's just a group, then the experience the original body owner gave him is enough.

For the guard regiment, the most urgent task now is to continue to enhance its combat capabilities!

Time is of the essence!

In conventional training, only those who survive countless battles and crawl out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood can grow stronger.

But this is not what Chu Feng wanted to see!

Because every battle brings a lot of casualties, those who survive grow stronger, but the unit gets stuck in a vicious cycle every time.

The trained troops suffered more than half their number as casualties in a single battle, and then they would train again, suffer casualties again, train again, suffer casualties again—a brutal and tragic process.

Finally, despite investing resources and time, the returns are minimal, and talent cannot be retained.

The purpose of buffs is to achieve the most efficient training results in the shortest amount of time!

Increased combat effectiveness leads to a higher survival rate, which in turn results in a deeper and richer talent pool.

Chu Feng muttered to himself, "I now have three buffs and nearly 80,000 merit points."

"Upgrading an advanced combat buff to master level requires 5, and upgrading an intermediate group training buff to advanced level requires 1, which adds up to 6."

"Upgrading the beginner learning buff to the intermediate level only requires 1000."

At this point, Chu Feng's eyes began to light up, and he vaguely made a decision in his heart.
