Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Imperial Troops

Relying on the hand-operated Gatling eight-barreled machine gun to suppress the Merlot 11 light machine gun is simply impossible. The two sides fired at each other, and the machine gunners of the hand-operated Gatling eight-barreled machine gun changed wave after wave.

It is useless to install an armored baffle, because it will be under the special care of the magician. The hand-cranked Gatling eight-barreled machine gun is placed there in size, so it is difficult not to be discovered.

Remington sent great instructor-level experts to sneak into the trenches of the security army overnight. In order not to disturb the Red Dragon Queen, they just secretly seized a Merlot 11 light machine gun and then retreated without killing.

After experimenting with the Melo-11 light machine gun, Remington was shocked and sent it to the headquarters without saying a word, hoping that the headquarters could imitate it as soon as possible, and even develop a light machine gun exclusive to their empire.

Compared with the Merlot 11 light machine gun, the hand-operated Gatling eight-barreled machine gun is really backward.

Remington never imagined that the unified army was already equipped with eight-barreled Gatling machine guns driven by magic energy motors, but because the ammunition was consumed too quickly and it was intended to be used as a killer weapon, it was only equipped for the elite unified army.

Remington was even more unexpected. This battle lasted for 5 months, which was unimaginable before.

As the battle dragged on, the trenches were given the function of a 'living area'.

A standard trench is not only equipped with sandbags, concrete, multi-layer barbed wire, spurs, and waterproof fences, but also equipped with command headquarters, underground weapon warehouses, canteens, hospitals, dormitories, and toilets. Soldiers lived in the trenches for more than half a month.

This battle, in which the two sides invested less than a million dollars, was quickly absorbed by the Maxim Empire and carried forward in the central plain, completely stabilizing the area they occupied.

Both the East God Church and the capital of magic have suffered a lot from the Maxim Empire, especially the Melo-11 light machine gun that has just been imitated.

In the palace office, Aslan quietly listened to Agguiwen's report, the hand that was spinning the pen suddenly trembled, and he grasped the pen subconsciously.

"Very well, this matter will be dealt with like this. There is absolutely zero tolerance for drugs, even the royal family." Aslan made a qualitative statement on the drug matter, and at the same time drew a red line.

Seven other members of the Pendragon family, including Delong, were shot dead, and more than 20 people were exiled to the border.

Shocking the entire city of Merlot, the Duke of Medea also shot very quickly. Even the most greedy Gennarido had just come into contact with Anshenyan, but he gave up under the warning of the people in the new city, otherwise he was going to sell Anshenyan When they went to other provinces, they could only burn the 200,000 gold coins of Anshenyan, which made Gena Rido bleed with distress.

This anti-drug operation successfully demonstrated the absolute justice and authority of the Imperial Constitution and the Melo Charter in front of the imperial people.

At the same time, a new wave of awareness and understanding of the law was promoted under the leadership of officials in major cities.

"As the imperial constitution has become more and more popular among the people, the country's public affairs have become much easier, especially the customs work, so many nobles and businessmen engaged in smuggling have to go through the customs channel honestly." Wilson endured He couldn't help laughing and said.

Taking over the property left by the Maxim Chamber of Commerce directly solved the current financial problems of the empire, and the establishment of the customs will also increase the stable source of tax revenue for the empire.

As for some nobles and businessmen who know the law and break the law, as long as the goods they transport pass through the villages and towns of ordinary people, they will definitely be reported.

Wilson's rewards for daring to report illegal smuggling activities are very high. He directly rewards 1% of the smuggled items and helps the whistleblowers to relocate their household registrations. Drilling in, just to find a smuggling caravan by chance.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the empire establish an association of magicians. All official magicians must register with the association of magicians, and at the same time register the scale of the magic space they have mastered." Wilson said.

The magician's magic space has become a sharp weapon for unscrupulous businessmen to smuggle goods. Aslan developed a magic space detection tool long ago. As long as the magician opens the magic space, the inspectors can search for items in the magic space.

But this is not enough. Many magicians deliberately hide the scale of the magic space and release the scale of the virtual magic space to muddle through. This is the primary problem that the existing customs must face.

Aslan took a long breath and couldn't help showing a relaxed expression.

"This proposal is good. I will ask the Academy of Magic to send a magister to test the scale of the magician's magic space. If there is a false report, severe punishment will be imposed." Aslan said affirmatively.

As the empire grows stronger, all kinds of laws must be perfected, especially for professionals. Otherwise, it will become a loophole in national taxation in the long run. This is the fundamental reason why the Cleveland Kingdom was so poor in the later period. .

Aristocrats and professionals evade taxes for various reasons. Over time, these taxes are placed on the people. Over time, people will naturally be unwilling to farm, and even flee to deep mountains and old forests.

Although those days were poor, they didn't have to be exploited by the royal family and nobles one after another.

"Your Majesty! This is the report on the integration of the Imperial United Army and the garrison." After reporting the last thing to Aslan, Agfevin handed the reorganized army to Aslan's desk.

Aslan nodded, pushed it aside, and turned his gaze to Essien and Wilson.

The two nodded their farewell tacitly, and Agguiwen left after him.

Eletherina wiped her mouth and got out from under Aslan's desk.

Aslan smiled and said, "Terina, your skills are getting better and better."

Eletherina smiled lightly, and drank the water glass on Aslan's table in one gulp.

"As long as my beloved Majesty is happy."

Aslan embraced it in his arms, and looked at Agguivin's report on the reorganization of the national army.

"The size of the unified army has been determined. There are a total of 81 infantry divisions, 17 mechanized infantry divisions, 3 armored divisions, and 5 artillery divisions. The total strength reaches 2,075,635 people. .”

Eletherina read softly, eyes full of shock.

The United Army is the foundation of the Melox Empire. Every soldier is at least a junior professional. With the new rifles and artillery, it is enough to beat the old army of any country in the mainland.

"The garrison consists of 4,657,563 people, including 202 infantry divisions, 29 mechanized infantry divisions, two armored divisions, and two artillery divisions."

The garrison troops are composed of ordinary soldiers, and they are mainly the guard forces in various places.
