UNEDUCATED and ILLITERATE
PEASANT CONSCRIPTS; reducing
the effectiveness of TRAINING!

with the lower classes.

want their sons to do

the AUTOCRACY! So, many UNTRAINED ROYAL
FAMILY MEMBERS were appointed KEY
MILITARY SERVICES to keep a HIGH
PROPORTION of the NOBILITY among the
commanding officers team!
- Those were 'better-off'
and who had influence
were able to find
SUBSTITUTES to take their
place!
- YES
