Cipher Wheel (Picture 1) |

When we are talking about the cryptology, we must understand, that this science is made for service of the state. Many people think, that cryptologists are some kind of unnecessary people, who were just like some kind of Walsingham, who actually seemed unnecessary part of the state. Those people like parades and they are so sensitive, that I can’t ever think that they actually believe their ideas.
Many people think that the position of Walsingham was somehow weak, he was actually the messenger, and under the control of the man whose name was Rawlings. The military rank what Walsingham had was actually the general major, and he was in the same position, what Agricola had in Finland. So here I must mention that Walsingham was not the only cryptologist on the earth. Also, Pacius and many other people had were spent time, by looking for hidden messages from the royal letters.
In the royal chessboard are many buttons, like courier who were the lower rank officer than the towers, who are normally in the rank, what is straight below the king. The mission of the queen is also very important. She is a king's wife, and even if she doesn’t know anything about military work, the generals will give those operational commands to the troops. Sometimes the term “queen” means actually a Marschall. If that person had the authorization for command this person might be very powerful. But he was easy to arrest because the king always knew where that person was. And the horseman is normally younger officer, who works straight under king’s personal supervision. That button just goes out and gives the royal letter to the generals.
When we are talking about the ranks of those officers and compiling them with modern military ranks, the rank of the tower would be general lieutenant and the messenger would be general major. The tower is very far away from the King because distance gives support for using the power to those men, who are very powerful. But the mission of the messenger is very important. The reason why this man would be so-called “light officer", means that he would be easy to transfer another direction. But the mission of messenger is to make copies the royal letters and send them back to the majesty.
That makes sure, that nobody makes any changes in those letters. The messenger doesn’t ever get any information about the original letter, and his mission is to copy texts what he sees and send those text back to the king. This man ever knows why the message was sent, but the lower rank protects him against majesty’s anger. He would not meet royal person alone, and if somebody makes mistakes, will the guilty person find in the line of the towers, and this person was not meet the royal executioner for making the majesty ridiculous. But the difference between the light officer and heavy officer is clear. The heavy officer had a castle, and that makes his movements so slow, that he was not the danger for the king.
