>>38641614>1. In such situation, how would commander motivate their troops ??? it would seem like nation is a rotten mess !!! I mention that young commanders are ready to lead to future but what do you think that means???Depends on how your nation as a whole is feeling at the time. A "Spirit" of a nation at a moment can lead to victory or defeat. A nation that is "depressed" is not going to recover per se without finding resolve. This sounds like pseudoscience perhaps, but I do think things such as "National Moods" exist. But answer the question, to motivate your soldiers:
1. Make sure they are paid and feed.
2. Give them a cause to fight for.
3. Having a naturally gifted speaker is always a good thing.
But its more complex that these obvious things and many things can be out of a commanders control, such as the aforementioned national mood. Professional Soldiers won't and absolutely should not have problems as long as you feed and pay them. But the conscripts are different, 2 in particular is meaningful to them. For the young commanders, they will want to embrace the patriotic sentiment that could come in the future and use it to inspire their conscripts to do things that are impossible seemingly, (which should answer 3. That's the secret.) Other factors can be down to discipline, disease, and weather even. In the end, feeding men, keeping them clothed, funded and giving them a purpose to die for means about everything.
>2. do you have any real life ideas to model reforms after for the army ???Good question, look at Rev. France, Prussia Post-1806, and Russia during this period. Heck, study the napoleonic wars in general from all nations. It will be really helpful to you.
>3. how do you fight back against the CIO ???As stated, patriotic sentiment. The CIO will slip up at some point and when the kettle boils over, there is little that can stop liberation, though it will be bloody. I don't have the exact details but that is the best bet.
Thank you, I love to talk with you about this.
