Chapter 439 Lord's Guards
"A person's mouth is two pieces of skin, how do you say it? Instead of naming it casually, it is better to choose one with a special meaning. The meaning that the lord just said is very good. The city is dead, but the people are alive. It’s up to people to decide which way to go, and since it’s New Brissand, it’s up to us.” Chief of Staff Ban Hebrew’s eyes flickered slightly, and he was the first to jump out and say, “I agree with the use of new cloth. Ruisan is the name for our future capital."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"Okay, this issue has been passed unanimously. Our leader is called New Brissand. As soon as Mr. Ferdinand's project in the northern fortress is over, let him come over to conduct a topographical survey. It just so happens that the restoration work of the relic fortress group is also coming to an end. You can directly transfer the engineering team here, General Marshall, when you make this year's financial plan, you have to take this into consideration." Sean finally made a decision.
"Understood." Although Marshall answered quickly, he knew from his expression that this was another very headache.
Building a brand new city from scratch has always been a very expensive thing.
Throwing millions of royal gold coins into it is like throwing water into the water. After a few ripples, it disappears.
Leaving aside, in the Twin Cities alone, the Yongye Army took over ten years to invest in gold coins of no less than 50 million, let alone other ancillary materials, and the infrastructure projects have not stopped until now. , there will still be one or two million financial investment in infrastructure every year. Fortunately, income has already started to be generated here. Regardless of commercial income, the municipal tax revenue here can maintain its own expenses.
The reconstruction work on Brother Port has also started. In the second half of last year alone, 5 million yuan was invested, and this year it will definitely not be less than 10 million yuan.
As the future economic, political, and military center of the Eternal Night Army, New Brace is also their future face. According to the top-to-bottom behavior of the Eternal Night Army, the opening posture will definitely not be small. There are many things , it is estimated that they will think about it in one step, especially Mr. Ferdinand himself. If he does not prepare 10 million royal gold coins this year, it is definitely not enough for him to squander.
Jacob River's first-line business has an annual net profit of 50 million royal gold coins, a figure that sounds terrifying, but it is also worthless.
The construction of the two large cities directly took two-fifths.
The only good news is that the restoration of the relic fortress group will be completed, and the annual investment will be reduced by two to three million. After Ferdinand's main energy is invested in the construction of New Brissand, he naturally has no energy to prepare for other infrastructure projects. Appropriate reduction can compress another three to four million.
In addition, the Kingsley family not only receives an additional five million war ransom every year, but also opens up the black powder trade. Judging from their recent purchases, this is definitely a big deal this year, and it can bring in additional Thirty to forty million royal family gold coins were brought in. This was dealing with past inventory, but it was pure profit, and they still mostly used various metal raw ores as payment methods.
For this, Marshall was not only not displeased at all, on the contrary, he liked it.
These raw metal ores, after being turned into finished products by the Yongye army leader, will be worth not more than 30 to 40 million yuan, and it is not impossible to directly exceed 100 million yuan, depending on whether they are willing to sell.
It is a pity that although this is not a one-shot deal, it will not last for a few years. Grand Duke Buck got the first black powder and formed his own research team to try to reverse the formula of black powder. It's only a matter of time before it goes into production.
Therefore, although the pressure is a bit greater, it is not unbearable.
"Don't be so sad. Money is something that you can spend if you earn it. If you can't spend it, no matter how much money you have, it doesn't make any sense. Imagine the good. After a few years, after they are built, they will bring us income." Xiao En obviously knew what the chief financial officer was thinking, and comforted him with a smile.
"Your lord, you don't need to comfort me. My vision is not so short-sighted. Don't worry, I promise that I won't delay the important affairs of the military leader." Marshall patted his chest and promised.
"Success." Sean nodded and said, "Let's move on to the next topic, which one have we reached?"
"It's still on our side." Chief of Staff Kelman said, "Our military staff department proposes to transfer the elite of each group army to form a lord's guard army, which will be directly under the lord's command."
"The Lord's Guards?" Sean raised his brows. The military staff did not inform him of this proposal in advance. "Why do I want that thing? Could it be that you still expect me to go to the front line and charge into battle?"
"Your lord is wrong." Chief of Staff Kelman retorted, "Your lord is our face. If you don't even have a guard team of your own, how can you get by?"
"Who said there is no? Doesn't Valesta have a hundred guards?" Sean raised his brows and said.
"Where is this going? Please, my lord, listen to me first." Chief of Staff Kelman couldn't laugh or cry.
The biggest problem with your own lord is that you don't see yourself as a lord too much, and you don't have the self-consciousness to be a lord.
The lord of other people's family has a little improvement in power and a little bit of wealth. He either builds his own castle wantonly and lives a luxurious and corrupt life, or builds his own luxurious guard frantically. The traveling convoy must be several hundred meters long, lest others I don't know I'm here.
The lord of his own family is fine, what he was like when he first started ten years ago, and he is still what he is now.
If you want your own castle without your own castle, if you want your own leader without your own capital, there are not many women around, if it wasn't for the recent hot fight with Princess Regent Sophilia, they are already talking about marriage, Some people are worried about whether their lord has a sexual orientation problem.
It is suggested to get him an exclusive building and boat car, which is also pushing three obstacles and four obstacles. What has failed the trust of those soldiers, and it is easier to be targeted and so on.
Didn't he know that every time he left the Yong Ye army leader, they were all worried, fearing that something might go wrong and hurt him?
At this time, they wished that their lord could be more selfish and considerate of themselves like other lords, so that the life of these people under them would be easier.
"Okay, tell me, I want to see what kind of tricks you guys are playing!" Sean folded his hands and watched coldly.
"Our Eternal Night Army leader is no longer the small force that was huddled in the mountains. Stamping our feet dare not say that the entire Byron Alliance trembles. At least there are echoes, and the forces we are in contact with are more diverse, and they may even be unconscious. In the process, many people and forces have been offended.”
The words of Chief of Staff Kelman made everyone present nod frequently.
In the past, their layout was small, and the few enemies with limited enemies were all placed in the open.
It's different now, the Yong Ye army leader has many actions in all aspects, their enemies are not only those who are clearly visible, but also some they offend unintentionally.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Valesta, whether it is supporting the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, or entering a large-scale trade industry by himself, the leader of the Yongye Army has offended those vested interests to death, and was unintentionally bankrupted by them There are not a few of them, most of these people gritted their teeth against the leader of the Yongye army, but their goals were too small, and the leader of the Yongye army could not detect their existence.
Pifu was furious, blood spattered five steps.
Who knows what crazy things these penniless people will do?
It is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.
Maybe these unremarkable little people, under various chances and coincidences, did things that pierced the sky.
Especially the black gunpowder in the hands of the Yongye army leader began to use a large amount. They knew the power of this thing, and they could make some weak women who have no strength to restrain chickens have the ability to open mountains and crack rocks.
If he was used against his own lord, he would shudder just thinking about it.
It would be a big joke if it was accidentally folded on a weapon developed by itself.
The lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance traveled in luxurious formations. Apart from showing off, the greater reason was fear of death.
"We have more and more external affairs. Some things cannot be avoided by the lord himself. Safety matters cannot be ignored. Even if the lord does not think about himself, he must also consider the military leader." Chief of Staff Kelman raised his hand Zhitou said, "This is just one of the reasons."
"The second reason is that those lord forces with names and surnames all have their own trump cards, such as the Broken Blood Cavalry of the Broken Blood Castle, the Iron Rose Knights of the Princess Regent, the Saint Ether Sword and the Judgment Knights of the Holy See, The Secret Magic Knights of the Witch Conclave and so on, these ace troops are famous, no matter where they go, they let their enemies lose three points before they can make a move.
Our Yongye army leader can't fall behind, right? We should have our own trump card, right? That's right, we have a Skull Crusher Legion, but he is now General McKee's Guard Legion, the trump card of the Eternal Night Army, and he can no longer represent our Eternal Night Army leader. "
The third is that news came from the northern fortress arsenal that they have come up with a magic modification plan for those bone armors, but compared to enchanted armor, these bone armors are more special. Once activated, they will produce special effects of soul binding, Except for the parties involved, no one else can exert their due power, so we have to select soldiers and then tailor them.
The number of bone armors is limited, so we must carefully select the best among the best. After repeated research, our military staff agreed that the role of this kind of armor scattered into various armies is not very great. Instead, it is better to gather together and form an independent army. The Legion can play a better role. If we want to do it, we must do our best. "
I have finished my reasons. Do you generals think there is a problem with my proposal? "Chief of Staff Kelman directly shook off Sean, turned around to consult the opinions of the other generals present, and made up his mind. Don't you have the self-consciousness as a lord? Let's jointly press the palace and see if you admit it.
"This idea is really good. The lord should indeed have his own army. Otherwise, he would not feel ashamed if he went out, but I would also embarrass us generals! I strongly support this matter. It doesn't matter whether it's from the Skull Crusher Legion or my First Legion, I have no choice." McGee, the Skull Crusher, was the first to strongly support it.
He has the strongest personal relationship with Sean, as long as it is beneficial to Sean, he will support without a bottom line, even if it is Sean who is opposed this time, there is a kind of good, called for your own good.
This time McGee is standing for your team.
"This matter is beneficial and harmless." General Eriksson obviously has his own unique insights, "When selecting soldiers, at least you have to start with knight strength, otherwise you will be sorry for the title of elite among the elite.
In the past, we wished we could split one knight into two. Now that the living conditions and training conditions have improved, this class has become a lot richer.
We don't have so many middle and low-level officers to place them in. Scattering them in various armies is a waste, and it will also cause dissatisfaction in their hearts. It is better to concentrate them to give full play to their due combat effectiveness. "
"We also support this proposal. At that time, we will also recruit elites from the Chenxi Army to participate in the selection." Wynd, Zoe, and Karlov, the acting army chiefs of the Chenxi Army, expressed their views at the same time.
"The fighters of our Cliff Clan are also free to choose, as long as you don't dislike their backward training." Patriarch Locke also followed suit.
The biggest advantage of smart people is that they can accept the unchangeable facts as quickly as possible.
It is an unavoidable fact that the Cliff Clan has been annexed by others, so accept it as soon as possible, and try to find the best interests for your clan members, and it is not in vain that they have followed you for so many years.
Of course, you must respond positively to the formation of the lord's guards. This is the closest person to the lord.
As for whether it will be successful, Patriarch Locke is not worried at all, good intentions are hard to turn down, no matter how stubborn Sean is, there is no way to stop the good intentions from the entire high-level.
"If I stick to my opinion on this matter, I'm afraid I will make everyone angry." Sean laughed dumbly, "Okay, let's form a lord's guard team to catch up with the one that surpasses the blood-broken cavalry. Chief Locke joked, some It is our greatest honor for you to join us. The saying that the barbarians in the mountain Kentana are invincible has always been widely spread in our Eternal Night Army. To be honest, the thing we covet most about your Cliff Clan is Your army, we have racked our brains to let you join us, isn't it for this?"
"Your lord is really good at joking." Father Locke had a smile on his face. It always feels good to be valued, at least it shows that they are still valuable.
Sean is not an idiot, how can he not feel the worry and kindness from the senior leaders of the Yongye army.
The lord's guards and the exclusive building ships are of two natures.
The army, especially the elite army, no territory can be too much. As long as it is not militaristic, it is not a big problem. As far as the current finances of the Yongye Army are concerned, let alone supporting an elite army, even if there are a few more elite army groups. The problem is that there are not so many people.
Besides, which bloody man doesn't have the dream of leading an elite army with his own hands?
The response from the generals present made Sean's blood boil for a while. In addition, Chief of Staff Kelman highlighted the bone armor picked off from the undead soldiers, although he did not know the northern fortress for the time being. What kind of test product was created, but based on the uniqueness of the bone armor's own material, it is absolutely not bad.
It seems logical to use them to arm an elite team.
"We knew that the lord would not be so unreasonable." Chief of Staff Kelman said with a smile.
"Knowing that I'm not such an unkind person, you still use this method of uniting all the generals to kill my army? If you directly submit this proposal to me, can I still approve it?" Xiao En pretended to be vicious and swept three times. The main chief of staff glanced, "According to your arguments, shouldn't I take revenge on you for my own benefit, so that you can feel the authority from the lord?"
"I didn't think carefully about this matter. When we eat together next time, I will punish myself with three cups and apologize to the lord." Chief of Staff Kelman admitted his mistake.
There is no explanation, the reason for choosing to do this is to force Xiao En's palace on the one hand, and at the same time to force the army of other generals. If they don't do this, how can they be willing to join this plan and promise to transfer their hands? the elite?
This is tantamount to reducing the combat effectiveness of the army in their hands in disguise. As for the joining of the Cliff Clan, it is completely an unexpected gain.
"You still have to wait for the next time, this time you will find me." Sean glanced at the hourglass clock and said, "It's getting late, it's time for dinner soon, and the main topic of our military meeting is also going on. It's almost there, the rest is the finishing work of the corners and corners, and there is no rush. I will not have a working meal in the cafeteria today. I invite everyone to have a good meal in my private estate. Welcome Chief Locke and General Yale to join us extended family."
"Chef Julian?" McKee pressed.
"That's a must." Xiao En said with a smile, "That kid's flattery is as round as his figure. Every time I hear that we are holding a military meeting, no matter whether he is needed or not, he will jump around Ha, if you don’t believe me, let’s go to the manor to have a look, there are a lot of delicious food and drink prepared there, I didn’t explain this in advance.”
"Then what are you waiting for?" McGee sucked on his saliva, "If you keep talking, your stomach will almost be filled with saliva. Let's go."
"It's an idiot who doesn't eat a free meal, let's go eat a big one today."
