The fact is just as he said, the coalition government has no authority at all. The five member countries of the alliance manage themselves, and each has independent personnel power, financial budget and military. The only main power handed over to the alliance official is diplomatic power, and some "rights to decide the alliance's national anthem" and "the alliance's national anthem decision-making power" are packaged and given away. The right to decide the flag" is a small and innocuous power.
The major departments of the Alliance government sound extremely powerful, such as the Alliance Army Committee, Alliance Finance Committee, Alliance Judicial Committee, etc. But in fact it just has a name, it’s just a decoration.
This state of fragmentation in the alliance began from the moment the people of the United Provinces rebelled. From the beginning of the Sovereignty War triggered by the Kuitu City riot more than thirty years ago, to the end of the Emperor's withdrawal war twenty-six years ago, no one could lead the anti-imperialist armies in the Gulf region.
The militia of the United Provinces will not accept the command of the Seablue speculators, and the Seablue militia will not accept the command of the country bumpkins of the United Provinces. The anti-imperial nobles wanted to steal power and take command of all the armies all day long, but there was no militia to pay them any attention.
Several anti-imperialist armies were not subordinate to each other and fought independently most of the time. Finally, under the military pressure of the emperor and the inspiration of the old marshal's personality, an army was formed under the command of the old marshal to fight against the emperor.
As soon as the battle was over, everyone dispersed again. The troops from the United Provinces Republic, the Sea Blue Republic, and the Highland Republic returned to their hometowns and transformed into the real armies of each of the participating countries. The Republics of Monta and Vane, which were separated from the Empire through the War of Sovereignty, also established independent war ministries.
The old marshal was well aware of the dangers to the internal peace of the alliance if the army belonged to each of the alliance countries, but he was unable to change the current situation in which each alliance country had its own agenda. So the old marshal believed that since it was impossible to unite the armies of the participating countries into one now, he could only place his hope in the future.
It is necessary to enhance communication and understanding between the militaries of the participating countries. Poor communication will lead to misunderstandings, and misunderstandings will lead to bloodshed. The most important thing is to train young people and ensure that the new generation of young officers of the joining countries will not Instead of being hostile to each other like their predecessors, the new generation of young officers from each participating country should be allowed to form friendships.
When these young people become the backbone and leaders of the armies of the participating countries, the differences will naturally be bridged, and the integration of the armies of the participating countries will naturally be a matter of course.
So the old marshal took the initiative to resign from the military and concentrate on preparing for the establishment of the Army Officers Academy. The management power of the Army Officer Academy is attached to the Union Army Headquarters in name only, and the old marshal himself serves as the first president, which can ensure impartiality. Just because the school is located in Guidu City does not mean it will receive preferential treatment for the United Provinces.
His original plan was to recruit 10 students from each of the five franchised countries in each subject each year, and 150 students at each level. After graduation, they would be randomly assigned to the armies of each franchised country.
This move of "mixing sand" was strongly resisted by the militaries of all the franchising countries. The Hailan military was the first to stand up and oppose it. They resolutely refused to accept their good seedlings being sent to other franchising countries, nor did they accept those born in other franchising countries. officers entered the navy army. On this point, the militaries of the participating countries rarely reach an agreement.
In desperation, the old marshal had to temporarily put aside the idea of "you are among me, and you are among me", and only retained the clause in the school charter that "when conditions permit, the destination of graduating students should not be reasonably allocated based on their place of origin." I hope that one day in the future, all participating countries will be able to implement this provision in harmony and friendship.
Therefore, the graduates of the Army Officer Academy will go back to wherever they come from. For example, trainees from the Aquamarine Republic such as Winters will return to the Aquamarine Army after graduation.
This was the old marshal's plan, and the effect didn't seem very satisfactory. At least twenty-six years later, the military of each participating country is still doing its own thing.
But it played some role. The officer cadets had received the influence of Grand Unionism for several years. Even if they did not support Grand Unionism, they at least had a sympathetic attitude towards it. Or take Winters, for example, who is a fanatical supporter of major leagueism.
But again, the plan did not change quickly. The situation changed after the old marshal retired. The alliance's power extended beyond the ocean and began to have more overseas interests.
Overseas trading points need protection, and the military needs reliable representatives overseas, so there is another overseas dispatch destination for graduates.
At this time, the 150 trainees every year, no more, no less, are definitely not enough, and the military of any participating country will not accept their children being sent overseas. As a result, the Army Officer Academy expanded its enrollment quota, recruiting 5 to 10 more students in addition to the original 50 students in each subject, so Winters has 172 students in this class.
At this time, the actual control of the Army Officer School has been in the hands of the Army Department of the United Provinces Republic. Of course, the federal military is far less fair and selfless than the old marshal, so the students for these expanded enrollments all come from the federal republic.
The federal military also changed its graduate distribution policy on the grounds of enrollment expansion. There are still 30 students from other participating countries every year, but when they return, the number will become 32 or 33 students. The federal military takes this opportunity to add sand to the armies of other participating countries.
Obviously, students from joint provinces who are sent to other joining countries will not be treated well. But compared to overseas dispatch, going to other franchise countries is also an excellent place to go.
At least if you go to other franchise countries, you can still stay in the league. But if you go overseas, you will go to sea standing up and return home lying down. In this era when fever and colds can kill people, going to a land where there are a lot of strange epidemics is an extremely risky behavior.
Therefore, every internship season, the most important thing for trainees from the United Provinces is where they will be assigned. Will they be in the Republic of the United Provinces? Or other joining countries? Or dispatched overseas?
Students from the participating countries don’t have to worry because they can go back and forth wherever they want;
Those students with strong family backgrounds in the joint provinces are not worried because their elders will never let them be sent to the joining country or overseas;
The powerless students from civilian families in the United Provinces have to look for opportunities everywhere and beg their grandparents to sue their grandmothers just to stay in the United Provinces. If not, they can go to the joining countries. You absolutely cannot go overseas. Going overseas is a dead end.
Bud's parents were sharecroppers, and they were of little help in this important matter that would determine his life's course. Winters wrote a letter to his uncle without telling Bud. Winters' uncle served in the Navy Army, and Winters hoped that he could help.
But when the United Provincial Army allocates its own students, how could the Hailan Army get involved? Winters' uncle wrote back and told Winters: With the current relationship between the Federal Provincial Army and the Navy Army, if he asked for someone, the Federal Provincial Army would not hesitate to send Bud overseas.
So in this matter, Bud can only wait for others to pronounce his fate, and Winters can only watch and worry.
Graduation package distribution is not entirely a good thing.
