Generals rely on captives and surrender gamesMilitary Orders Are Like a Mountain: The Heart of a King was a game where generals searched for their targets in the wild, then attacked the captives and brought them back to the city to surrender. In the Legend of the Three Kingdoms 8 game, there was also a setting to summon captives. After defeating another general, one could capture the captives. One could use rumors to reduce the loyalty of the captured general's city to a low enough level to summon them to surrender, or behead the general's monarch to summon them to surrender. There was also a captive surrender mechanism in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms 14, such as by frequently defeating and capturing Zhang Liao to reduce his loyalty, using the ability to sow discord, completing specific battles, etc. to recruit generals.

How do generals become generals nowadays?In the People's Liberation Army, there were many ways to become a general (general officer). At the same time, there were many conditions and competitions:
** 1. Gradually promote through the normal military rank promotion system **
1. ** From soldier to sergeant to lieutenant **
- The best soldiers had the chance to become sergeants. The sergeants were divided into junior, intermediate, and senior sergeants. Senior sergeants were the backbone of the army who were proficient in combat skills. A non-commissioned officer could be promoted to a lieutenant. A lieutenant was divided into second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain, corresponding to the rank of platoon, deputy company, and company. It usually took three to five years to be promoted from second lieutenant to first lieutenant with outstanding performance. This process required accumulating experience and demonstrating ability at the grassroots level.
2. ** From Lieutenant to Major **
- Lieutenant officers were promoted to field officers, which included major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and senior colonel. This promotion process required continuous display of military talent, leadership ability, and so on. They also had to be tested in different positions. Each promotion took several years, and the assessment for promotion was very strict. This was because the higher one went, the fewer positions one had, and the more intense the competition.
3. ** From colonel to general (for example, from senior colonel to major general)**
- A major general faced a huge challenge when he was promoted to major general. The promotion of a senior colonel to a major general was through selection. This required a series of selections and the best of the best. First, there had to be a major general vacancy because the number of generals was limited (there were only about 1400 generals in the entire army). In other words, the old generals had to retire and give up their positions. At the same time, the candidate senior colonel had to stand out in the selection process. Moreover, if a senior colonel officer had not been promoted to a major general by the age of 55, he would have to retire from active service and lose the opportunity to become a general.
** 2. Introduction and Promotion of Special Talents **
1. ** The army is recruiting talents **
- Special talents specially recruited by the army, such as those who were top students in school. They were outstanding talents in all walks of life, and the army gave them high treatment, including a certain military rank, to attract them. If these people made breakthroughs in academic achievements in the future or made outstanding contributions to national defense and the military, they could be promoted.
2. ** Military school training helps promote **
- Studying in a military school was also an important way to get promoted. The graduates from the military academy could directly obtain the rank of second lieutenant, skipping the stage of being promoted from a soldier to an officer. After becoming an officer, if there was a chance to be sent to a military school for further studies, there would often be a certain level of promotion after graduation.
** 3. Promotion based on military abilities and special contributions **
1. ** The accumulation of military exploits during the war years **
- During wartime, soldiers could be promoted by establishing military achievements on the battlefield. However, in the modern era of peace, such opportunities were relatively rare, and they were mostly concentrated in areas with more difficult conditions and special military missions.
2. ** Diverse Contribution in a Peaceful Era **
- In times of peace, in addition to regular military service performance and promotion assessments, outstanding contributions to military theoretical research and military technology research and development would also help one be promoted to a general. For example, military strategists and critics, professors at the National Defense University, or people who were responsible for missile technology research and development and achieved significant results. They became generals based on their contributions in their respective fields.
The novel "The General's Promotion" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Definitely a binge worthy novel. Starts off slow with lots of exposition but picks up when the mc joins the school. Probably just my pet peeve but there's generals and high ranking officers left and right. 4 generals at one school? Majors or colonels would be more appropriate for school staff.
