Human Liberation Army Air Force Military Ranks

In a dark room, Kaiser Werner was smoking a cigar while he saw the hierarchical order of the air force, navy, and army of the human liberation forces.

“So the air force already has the ranks ready?”

Representative Gallus nodded and displayed a document on the center table.

‘Aspirant, Aviateur, Aviateur de première classe, Caporal, Caporal Chef, Sergent, Sergent Chef, Adjudant, Adjudant chef, Mayor-Mayor Zeppelin.

Sous-lieutenant, Lieutenant, Capitaine, Commandant, Lieutenant-colonel, Colonel. ‘

“These are all ranks within the air force, as you realize they are divided into two tiers.

The first level begins with the process of the applicant entering the air force when he passes the exams and passes a two-month training process.

He is awarded the rank of Aviateur, where he will have to take classes with gliders until he has 50 flight hours.

After this he will be uploaded to Aviateur de première classe, at this level he will have to complete training on an airplane.

At the moment, this is where most of our pilots are, but they can move up to the rank of Major.

Which is divided in two because to be a pilot of a zeppelin, everyone has to have the rank of Major.

Although the training of the crew is very similar to that received by the members of the army with the only difference that they are trained to know how to maintain the zeppelin. “

The Kaiser Werner showed a smile as he went back to smoking his cigar. “How is zeppelin production going in your nation?”

Representative Gallus took some blue plans from his bag, which he showed to the Kaiser.

In the plans you could see a more stylized design of the Diustic zeppelin “We have improved the design because with helium we can add more weapons.

Not to mention, we’ve improved the zeppelin’s air defense by putting 10 machine-gun nests on top of the zeppelin.

This new design can turn the Zeppelin into a true floating fortress without the risk of exploding, since helium is not flammable.

In total, there will be 500 members of the air force inhabiting the interior of the zeppelin. We estimate that with full supplies, it can last 5 months in the air. “

Kaiser Werner was delighted by those words “The zeppelin will be the future of humanity’s travels, you can be sure that the Diustic empire will support the construction of the Zeppelins.

We are resuming operations in the factories. During these last four weeks, we are working at forced marches.

But our engineers need another four weeks to replenish the empire’s production by 50%.

After two months, I can proudly say that production will be restored to 100%.

It could even be duplicated with the integrated factories of our former colonies, but now that I ask, have you had no problem assimilating your former colonies? “

Envoy Gallus shook his head “We may be fewer people than the Diustic empire, but the sentiment of the Republic has allowed a gradual integration.

Perhaps before the end of the year we will have all the colonies assimilated, which would be perfect, as we will not waste energy during the war. “

The Kaiser stroked his mustache before blowing out a puff of smoke. “You should try the method we used to distribute the population among the former colonies.

With that, the integration will be much faster and you would guarantee that your culture is not so affected by the cultures of the former colonies.

I know that it will be impossible to fight against some traditions, but in that case you should not feel sorry to adopt them as your own.

Although fortunately only our eastern colonies have strong cultures, especially the northern island that we conquered a hundred years ago.

His warriors in colorful armor were a worthy warrior and his fighting code was even applied in the army to keep the quality of the army high.

It is a pity that a plague of smallpox and other diseases has depleted their population, but they are still a worthy colony.

To the point that my own son married the heir daughter of his millennial royal family, but I think that in your case, it will be a little more difficult. “

Gallus’s envoy smiled proudly “In our republic, assimilation is much faster as our people are not subject to the nobility.

But if you are right that the eastern colonies are the most difficult to assimilate but it really is no longer a problem when we are united on one continent.

Working for so long with the Tsarist empire has made us learn how to organize an extensive empire.

My only concerns are the empire of Bretaigne. “

The Kaiser sighed and shook his head “At the moment they have no problems as their large number of bureaucrats have stabilized the situation.

But we have to always be on the lookout because it won’t take them a year to organize their entire nation and with the war effort.

It will be possible that problems will arise although I think that in two years they will have to have everything organized. In any case, it is necessary to prepare some extra bureaucrats.

In case the Bretaigne empire needed support. “

The Gallus envoy nodded. “I will take the proposal to the ambassador who will be in charge of delivering it to President Meldos.”

The Kaiser put out his cigar and looked seriously at the envoy while using a pen he signed the air force organization document.

“With my signature and that of Emperor Queralt, the air force organization is created, only a unified command structure will remain.

So an air force general can be trained to command the army and vice versa.

Only the command of the navy will remain independent because at sea, the battles are completely different. “

“At sea, the battles are always complicated, but if I may say so, I think it was a good deal that was made.

To get benefits, our nations gave mutual concessions. It is a good way to get a balance in the human liberation army.

The only thing that scares me a little is knowing if our weapons can stand up to magic. “

The Kaiser smiled proudly “You don’t have to worry about it. Elves can bleed so they can be killed.

It may be difficult, but our species developed to wage war while they were stuck in the conformity of magic.

Our technology will strengthen as war does, so in the end, the victory will be ours. “

The envoy, after hearing this, felt calmer, so he held the document very carefully and gave a military salute to the Kaiser.

“Thank you very much for your collaboration Kaiser Werner. I will speak with the ambassador about what was discussed this day.”

Kaiser Werner made a sign with his hand and Gallus’s envoy withdrew from the scene, leaving the Kaiser alone thinking about the future war of the elves.

‘Although I’m sure we will win, at what cost we will.

Perhaps the only good thing of all is that being a species warrior, our people will only be able to continue fighting.

For defeat means slavery. ‘
