Chapter 643

The third manual of the Allied Infantry, compiled by the staff of the Supreme Command, the second edition of 2006.

Humanitarianism should be practiced.

This is not some kindheartedness without reason, but a certain degree of goodwill can allow more outsiders to join the lord's camp.

For foreign forces, a harvesting attitude should be adopted to ensure sufficient resources; for foreign populations, a goodwill attitude should be adopted for those who meet the absorption value, and every effort should be made to convert them into their own population.

The lords need every means to replenish the population of their own territories, and the population replenished by the system for the lords in each cycle is completely insufficient.

Now only a little goodwill is needed to replenish the population of their own territories, why not do it.

Population is one of the most important resources.

As for the possible weakening of soldiers by humanitarianism.

What determines the lower limit of a soldier's combat capability is the degree of professional training a soldier can receive, whether he can ensure that his will does not collapse in battle, and whether the weapons equipped can adapt to the current battlefield environment.

That's all.

There has never been a "truth" that represents justice and victory, and there has never been a "truth" that goodness or evil will inevitably win.

But the lords need to maintain the psychological stability of the soldiers who will not die.

Rhine City, a front-line fortress-type city, also developed as a resource distribution center for the front line.

But compared with the fortress group under the sky island built by the Supreme Command, it is more like a normally functioning city, without such sufficient combat weapons, towering towers and concrete fortifications everywhere.

The central fortress group mainly provides security for the floating island group in the sky, and undertakes the important role of transporting materials and personnel in the battle mission.

Rhine City mainly relies on a large number of small and medium-scale conflicts and resource collection nearby, providing a market of 100,000 people, and the lords use this city as the garrison center to mobilize their battalion-level troops.

However, the main reason why it is called Rhine City... It is a large city by the river. The river that runs through the entire northern line was named the Rhine River by the first arrival. The first city built along the river is naturally called Rhine City.

There is no fortress here, and there is no need for fortified defense. Tents and temporary buildings spread out naturally along the central city and the Rhine like colonies.

The white stone buildings built of marble and granite reflect soft light in the sun. The old-fashioned port that occupies half of the city's riverbank is full of workers. Flat-bottomed transport ships specially designed for inland rivers dock and leave.

Every day, a steady stream of resources are unloaded here and then sent along the Rhine to the truly safe rear of the lords. Food and industrial products from the rear go up the river, injecting new impetus into the city.

Civilization belongs to the river.

The river gives life to civilization.

And Hal, who returned to the city with the cavalry, only praised it with his poor words.

"It's so big."

A city with a population of 100,000 is already an economic center in the fourth era. Most of the lords' territories did not even have 100,000 people when they reached the fourth era.

With the expansion of the camp and the need to occupy a lot of land for the training ground, Rhine City is already comparable to a city of 500,000.

Hal, led by the cavalry, followed the cavalry quietly. After simply bandaging the scratches on the barbed wire, the cavalry invited him to go back with them, and Hal did not dare to refuse their invitation.

The cavalry leading him had dismounted and led the horses along the main road made of gravel. From time to time, gray-clad infantrymen in uniform walked on the gravel road. They all carried rifles like the cavalrymen, and they didn't know where they were going.

Most of the infantrymen had no horses beside them, and it seemed that horse cavalrymen were still a minority among them.

On both sides of the gravel road were camps divided by wooden fences. There were several shops next to the gates of each camp, which was somewhat inconsistent with the entrance of the camp where soldiers were standing guard.

"Roasted chicken is 20 yuan each, but you won't be able to eat this good thing in the trenches."

"Yellow wine, 45 yuan a can, brewed by magic, definitely suits your taste!"

"Yellow beef jerky, authentic beef jerky, 61 bags!"

The air was filled with fragrance.

Hal couldn't understand the words on the sign, but he could more or less judge the function of the shops at the entrance of the camp from the aroma of food in the air.

The aroma of roasted chicken was very tempting.

The shopkeeper even put the grill outside.

It was a fatal temptation for people who hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He didn't understand why the military camp could coexist with this kind of thing, and there was a restaurant at the entrance of the military camp?

It looked delicious.

He looked forward along the street, and there were all kinds of shops on the road. If you ignore the entrance of the camp and the soldiers, this is a very prosperous commercial street.

The customers were soldiers like water flowing on the long street.

It was completely inconsistent with his memory of the military camp.

"The outer city is still so chaotic, why do you want to do some side business here?"

"Yeah, you have to make money, as long as it doesn't interfere with the main road."

"Damn it, I really need to charge them more business taxes to deal with the garbage. I don't know how much garbage a camp generates in a day."

"Fuck, beef jerky is still selling for 60 a bag. Last time I saw it, it was 55. It's not as expensive as they sell in the central city. Aren't they said that the shops outside are cheaper?"

"Forget it, they are all equally shady."

Hal looked at the cavalry who had no conversation in front of him, secretly swallowing.

He has heard the horror stories about these soldiers more than once, and the adventurer of the camp often uses the escape to describe and this group of black cavalry.

Hal didn't feel it. He had a good impression on the group of guys using muskets, while leading officers corrected his statement -they used 'rifles', not 'muskets'.

He saved him and bandaged him. Their food was also good, and he escorted him to a safe city.

It's a good person.

The fragrance of grilled chicken roasted duck in the air, from time to time, standing outside the restaurant and drinking, as well as infantry that bargain on the streets and shops ... it is reasonable with a trace of violation.

If it wasn't for him, he had no money, he also wanted to buy a grilled chicken road ... I don't know how much gold coin was sipped in the shop, can't it be 20 gold coins?

"What, want to eat? I invite you."

The leader of the team leader slowed down and leaned against Hal.

"By the way, do you bring a trap, I go to the front to help you handle it ... The central urban area is not allowed to carry explosive products, and the poison cans and explosives cannot be brought in."
