One Hundred and Ten Days

Sitting in the office, the government staff in charge of commercial diplomacy put down the documents in their hands, looked at their colleagues curiously, and asked, "What is this? The Higgs Kingdom agrees with us to explore for oil on their side? Didn't they always agree with it?"

A small staff member next to him raised his head from the stack of documents, nodded and said, "Yes, the news just sent yesterday, the other party gave us very favorable conditions, and we agreed to set up a company on their side and be responsible for it. Exploration for oil."

The director of the department holding the document had a wonderful expression on his face, grinning and sighing: "Suddenly changed. This King Cape Castner is really interesting."

"In addition, they have released the import restrictions and allowed our merchants to enter the territory of the Higgs Kingdom." A staff member over there held up the document in his hand, shook it twice above his head, and showed off.

Hearing this news, the director of the department was even more surprised, and said in surprise: "Hey! We beat the Arante Empire so badly, and they are not willing to agree to these terms. The Higgs Kingdom has not fought us yet, so this is why agreed?"

"Who said it wasn't. I didn't hear that the Higgs Kingdom is a soft persimmon. I heard that there was a fight with the Arrant Empire." The first staff member said with an incomprehensible expression.

The colleague next to him who had just talked with him nodded: "But looking at it now, it seems to smell like a broken pot. Don't they know that they can't beat us and give up resistance?"

"That feeling is good, we have fought over the province, you must know, no matter how many battles are won, the war will still kill people..." The director of the department picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip of boiling water, and said with great emotion.

In fact, as long as it is a war, people will die. Behind those glorious victories, there are piles of bones.

When Ailan Hill attacked Tubao, North County, and Vast Sea, the casualties were still in the tens of digits. When they went south to Naru, the casualties were also controlled in the dozens. At this time, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with the war.

After all, in this day and age, the death of dozens of people is not something that deserves a lot of fuss. But when they attacked Bude, Falling Dragon City, and Wallawa, the casualties had obviously increased to an astonishing level.

Because of the encounter with the opponent's dragon knights, the prairie cavalry lost about 15,000 people, and Ailan Hill also lost more than 200 people.

Later, during the Seris Guard Battle, the elite 1st regiment and the anti-aircraft artillery unit also lost more than 400 people. Don't look at the Dragon Knights who severely damaged Didric, and even killed him, but the losses were still very heavy.

After repeated fierce battles, Ailan Hill has lost nearly 000 soldiers. It is very precious for veterans. For Ailan Hill, who is frantically expanding the army, this number is already very painful, but everyone still selectively ignores this. price.

The dividends of war are too considerable, and they can make people forget the pain. Every soldier who died in action received condolences from the Chris Cabinet, and what was even more interesting was that they even received a subsidy from the arsenal and an insurance pension from the army...

Then, unexpectedly, under the auspices of Des, the companies that had made profits in the war set up a private encouragement fund, and raised a large sum of money to be donated privately to the families of the fallen. created an unexpected situation.

In the home of every fallen soldier, he even received four pensions at the same time, totaling more than 100 gold coins- such a huge sum of money would have been squandered by an ordinary family for a lifetime two years ago.

At that time, as a lord, Chris couldn't even pay a tax tribute of 1,000 gold coins. On this day two years later, the subsidy for each fallen soldier in Alan Hill has reached 100 gold coins.

For this payment alone, the reserves of 200,000 gold coins were used in cash, and more than 100,000 gold coins were also distributed in kind, including daily necessities such as food and cloth utensils.

What makes people laugh and cry is that because the pension is too attractive, Ailan Hill actually set off a wave of joining the army. Hundreds of thousands of Alan Hill troops expanded to nearly one million in one breath, and finally stabilized.

This is not a small number. The air defense force has been expanded from less than 10,000 to 100,000. These units are all managed by the Air Force, and anti-aircraft artillery units are deployed in every city, but there are more or less differences.

Similarly, another 100,000 engineering corps affiliated to the Air Force are working frantically. They are building airport facilities every day, building 5 large-scale field airfields near the border and the city, and 10 spare secret airfields. .

The army has been expanded to 600,000 people, divided into 10 corps, each with a strength of 60,000 people, under the jurisdiction of a division and military artillery and communication units.

Chris imitated the U.S. heavy division and reorganized the ground troops of Ireland Hill. Because there were trucks in service, the artillery unit was also expanded. The original 75mm caliber infantry artillery was still temporarily under the direct control of the regiment headquarters, while the new The 105 mm caliber howitzer is equipped with division-level artillery units.

The artillery armed with 105mm caliber howitzers really became a heavy fire support force this time. After watching a live-fire exercise with a 105mm howitzer, all the officers had a fresh understanding of their weapons.

Due to the limited transportation capacity, Chris has not chosen to equip larger-caliber artillery for the time being, but he is already planning to build a 155mm caliber howitzer production line, ready to be equipped with army-level fire support troops.

The current Airland Hill unit is more like a modern unit: with radio communications and field wired telephones, communications have been delegated to the regiment level, and command and movement are faster and more direct than ever before.

In addition, because of the large amount of equipment, the ratio of engineers and engineers is higher, and the number of air defense units is also larger - the size of the military and division headquarters is larger, and the degree of emphasis on logistics is also higher.

The development of the navy is even more interesting. On the one hand, the marine corps prepared by the navy has expanded to 60,000 troops, while on the other hand, the navy has recruited sailors and crew members, so many that they cannot find ships to serve.

In the end, the navy had to take out 100 knowledge magic balls to strengthen the faculty of sailing education, set up an advanced naval academy, and raised more than 10,000 naval cadets on land.

In addition, due to the need for port expansion, the navy also has its own construction team. They are working hard to build the ferry port, and they are inspired to turn the ferry into the largest and most efficient and important port on the eastern coastline.

"How do I reply to the Higgs Kingdom? The special envoy who sent the news is still at the station." Returning to the topic, the clerk grouped the documents in his hand into very important categories and asked his own sectional chief.

The director of the department didn't even think about it, and answered directly: "How else can I reply? Isn't there a shortage of oil here? Report it to the Ministry of Resources immediately..."

Another staff member stretched his waist and said with a smile: "This is good, the work over there is probably going to be busy again."

The entire department became active, and a young man who had processed his documents rubbed his shoulders and said, "Isn't it good to be busy? It's always better than being idle."

"Yeah! In the past, we used to be very idle every day, sitting idle on the ridge and staring at the stars." His words made the section chief agree, and he opened his mouth to recall his previous hardships.

The clerk who spoke first quickly said, "We are busy now, but we have money to support our family... I just bought a fish from the ferry yesterday, and it looks fresh."

The colleague next to him was even more exaggerated, and made a very exaggerated gesture of rubbing his stomach: "Don't mention it, I'm going to buy meat after get off work today. The beef in this grassland empire used to be sky-high, but now it's better and cheaper. I don't even want to eat it."

A colleague in the distance laughed and said, "You're crazy, you still don't want to eat it? Then you eat dragon meat!"

The section chief laughed along with it: "Hahahaha! You really don't say it, I heard that many people in the army have eaten dragon meat, and the taste is not very good."

Because of superstition, the soldiers of many troops actually tasted the taste of dragon meat privately when dealing with dragon corpses. Many people think that eating dragon meat can keep their body strong and invincible, and some people think that they can gain the power of dragon through this ritual...

As a result, not only did the soldiers who ate the dragon meat get no benefit, but they also suffered from bad stomachs because the meat had become stale when the corpse was processed. The dragons that were transported to the shooting range were already stinky after the experiment, and no one would be willing to move their mouths if they were given away for food, so they had to be buried on the spot.

Many dragon scales and teeth and the like have been separated as souvenirs, and two specially treated dragon bones have been spliced ​​and placed in the museum - this is Chris's idea, and many children are willing to go to the museum Visit skeleton specimens that have never been seen before.

Just like today's children go to the museum to see the skeleton of Tyrannosaurus Rex, children are very curious and are full of awe at the huge taxidermy.

As well as the dragon skeleton, there are also the king's flag and weapons of the Arrant Empire; the sword and armor of the dragon knight; the first-generation woodworking machinery of Serris City, assembled by His Majesty Chris...

"In the past, I didn't even dare to think that I could live a life like today." Inside the department, the chief of the department looked out the window and whispered softly.
