Chapter 06

In the following years, I focused on consolidating my future subordinates and reviewing their study materials, such as economics, diplomacy, and martial arts, i was planning, together with my combat instructor, the veteran, the creation of a military doctrine and a unique Russian martial art.

I wanted an art that would instill in the hearts of our enemies the idea of a superior army, my project is to enhance the quality of the largest army of this era, which currently consists of one million active soldiers, the concept of conscription was not widely used at that time, but it had started to gain popularity with the Prussians, eventually becoming the main strategy of the era, with the improvement of handheld weapons, less time would be needed to train a regular soldier, allowing for a greater focus on the qualification of officers who could maintain order and tactics on the battlefield.

The Russian army still had nobles occupying the highest ranks, not based on merit but on nepotism, which hindered the rise of true talents. This necessary reform would be delayed, but I could alleviate some of the pressure by introducing a passive military doctrine and a unique martial art.

Together with instructor Vladimir, we planned to integrate the Poznai Sebia, a collection of ancient Russian combat techniques, with the use of Gunfu and Krav Maga-style weapons, to create a true art that encompassed physical and mental training.

This art would include a progression system with different ranks and teachings of a doctrine, a way of life, and serving as mental reinforcement for things like patriotism and devotion to the religion and the royal family, which I named Poznai Voynu.
