I call bs on his military training.

 

[HaikenEdge]

This is almost nothing like military basic training.

 

[MCX01]

A MC with a brain and military training. No wonder he was so calm when he started it all.

 

[Kyto1984]

FYI, this is a Chinese MC, so their views on military service are different than the US. I don't know much about China's military regiments, but I'd assume their training would revolve around the concepts of fast and cheap.

@Kyto1984 They only have 3 months, you can't drill them everything. Instead, you could ingrain discipline to the point they will easily follow orders and the stamina to do it.

Anyone know where this is in the novel?


This IS adapted from a novel, right? I had remembered seeing the title a lot over the years, and was surpised to see only 22 translated chapters when I decided to try it out today. So I can only assume the manhua / translation of the manhua is new / recent, while the novel has been around much longer.

@Jeikob It should be around chapter 25, and there are 1361 chapters translated, the raws are still ahead but I don't know by how much. I like the series. Very good for tech gap and industrialization isekai fans. Some good characters. Problems are that the MC is too superhuman in his engineering knowledge, his solutions' effectiveness sometimes are exaggerated, but compared to majority of super OP isekai and other kingdom-building stories, I think this series is much more reasonable. Other problems are the author eventually tries to tell too many subplots at the same time and jumps between them a lot. Some subplots feel a bit random, too, like the author ran out of ideas or couldn't figure out a good way to integrate something into the overall story. But still this is one of my favorite WN.

And so the benigning of the greatest infantry battalion has begun.

"Boy, you best stop questioning me in front of the riff raff or you'll join them and not get an egg!"

 

[CrownedTraitor]

Ehh?? Doing the same thing with the basic military training can get the same results! I say follow the knight's plan!

I mean basically those two are the same only difference is the rewards 😅

@CrownedTraitor - It's actually pretty thought provocative. If one think about it, there has been many different approaches to training people into an army. Most historical systems just relied on the culture with strength of the army built by experience. More systematic approaches are quite varied. As like how the MC pointed out the Spartan approach.

In the end, he only have 3 months and there's a difference between the knight and the MC. The knight is approaching training in a warrior sense - thus starting with sword training (which the knight is aware there isn't enough time to really make a decent warrior, I think what is what the knight is implying). The MC is approaching training by training to make a single unit. Obviously the Chinese readers can immediately recognize but we don't. But my limited understanding is everybody gets what essentially is boot camp. It won't make harden veterans or skilled warriors, but at least it create a unit of people able to effectively execute orders and stick together. Which is arguable the best he can do given the time constraints.
