Nearly 60000 jinnals of military expenditure paid by the nobles had just arrived at half of the account, and Renault squandered them at a stunning speed.
To be exact, it should have been moved to the Treasury of Haichao chamber of Commerce and also included in this month''s turnover.
80% of the cost is used to buy the weapons and equipment produced by the sea tide collar. They have already been transported to the port of Copernicus by the trade fleet, waiting for this transaction.
Renault even raised the price of the equipment by 10% on the grounds of "huge quantity" and "urgent delivery date".
However, for this shameless to the extreme practice, all people have to hold their noses.
I can''t help it, because that''s the right way to hold your thighs.
Since you want to be crowned, you have to take the initiative to let the biggest piece of interest out. Otherwise, GUI te Mo is willing to be a black ORC. The nobleman who does not know how to exchange interests is not a qualified nobleman.
In addition, Renault also let people buy a lot of messy things.
Like soap.
Renault said that this is an important washing product. An army that can''t even wash clothes is not a qualified army.
Another example is toothpaste and toothbrush.
Renault said that this is a key hygiene product. An army that does not pay attention to personal hygiene is also not a qualified army.
In a word, as long as the goods are owned by Haichao and can be used by the army, he will never let them go. If it is not for lack of funds, he will definitely replace the army with Haichao brand goods from head to toe, and the prices are all higher than the market prices.
He said that this kind of open and aboveboard opportunity to get rich would be missed by a fool, so he did it recklessly and blatantly.
make complaints about this "blind spending".
We have never heard of military supplies such as soap and toothpaste. Even if they are needed, they are only used by officers at most. Why do you purchase soldiers'' share?
What''s more, over the years, soldiers don''t use soap to wash their clothes and toothpaste to brush their teeth. Aren''t they fighting the same war?
Crown, you so naked cheat everyone''s hard-earned money, really good?
However, the hypocritical nobles still put up with it. On the surface, they don''t care. You are free to crown. If the money is not enough, we can raise it again Er, raise a fart.
Aristocrats are not fat sheep. They are all mean and stingy. Before the first victory, no matter how big their fists are, it is impossible to take out even a copper nale from their pocket.
In terms of venture capital, the financing of the noble coalition is just an angel round in financing.
If the war is good and everyone is satisfied, there will be subsequent round a financing and Renault will continue to steal money from it.
If the war is excellent, round B and C will not be a problem. Renault can have a good time.
All in all, we should pay according to the performance. If we win, we will be rewarded. If we lose Let''s get out of here.
In a small town 4 kilometers north of Copernicus, since the third day, soldiers from various aristocratic leaders have arrived in the town one after another. They don''t even have time to rest, so they fall into the "magic hand" of the island protection team.
Yes, it''s the magic hand.
For these poor soldiers, their training is just devil''s training.
"All of you, run 10 laps around the training ground!"
On a newly built training ground, an instructor, who is also a team member of the island protection team, snapped.
More than 200 soldiers immediately raised their chests and yelled:
"yes!"
They must answer loudly, otherwise they will be considered as weak and weak by the instructor, which will directly lead to another serious consequence - double punishment.
In other words, originally only 5 laps, now it will be 10 laps, 1000 meters per lap, and 10 laps will be 10000 meters. This is by no means a number that can be ignored.
In the words of instructors, the thinner a person is, the more strict training he has to receive. Otherwise, sending him to the battlefield is tantamount to murder.
Although we all agree with this view, it''s hard to agree. Is it training or tossing people to death?
"Let''s move, faster..."
"If anyone dares to be lazy, I will make him look good..."
"A little more sweat from the training ground will make you more likely to survive. You scum, thank you for taking the time to train you..."
The two instructors, each riding a magic iron horse, chased the soldiers like rabbits, and roared.
Every time the magic iron horse passed by the soldiers, it always attracted a lot of envious eyes, and many people followed the magic air gun behind the instructor.
Before taking part in the training, the soldiers watched the drill with their own eyes.No matter the legendary rose chariot, or the magic iron chariot, or the powerful air gun salvo, all of these make every soldier feel deeply awed, and let them accept the training honestly.
…………
In another training ground, the roar of hoarseness spread far away.
"Thorn!"
"Ho Bang
"Thorn!"
"Ho Bang
Every time the instructor roared out a "stab", hundreds of soldiers would yell and stab their long guns at the stake in front of them.
In the scorching sun, everyone was drenched, as if they had been fished out of the water. Obviously, it was a very intensive and hard training.
This kind of stab training is repeated thousands of times a day by these long gunners. This is just to form muscle memory. Once they go to the battlefield in the future, they will instinctively stab as soon as they hear the command.
In a short time, this is the most effective way to improve combat effectiveness.
…………
"Fools, go ahead..."
"All forward for me..."
"Damn it, pay attention to your position, and be consistent with your companions on both sides..."
Three fierce instructors kept shouting. In front of them, 50 soldiers were standing in a long line, moving forward.
When a stinky quagmire appeared in the front, someone finally stopped.
"Keep going..."
"Pa "Ha..."
Three ferocious instructors waved the steel whip in their hands and roared loudly.
"No one is allowed to stop until he hears the order, otherwise he will be punished by military law..."
Some soldiers were afraid and had to jump out of the mire and trudge in it.
Some soldiers refused to move forward, which immediately brought punishment for them. The instructors rushed up and pulled them out of the queue, abusing them madly and whipping the steel whip in their hands.
"Pa "Ha..."
"You useless worms, lowly scum, any act of disobeying orders on the battlefield will not only kill yourself, but also your companions, do you know?"
"Pa "Ha..."
"Instead of letting you kill everyone, it''s better for labor and capital to kill you now..."
However, the instructors will not give up their hands. They will stop after two or three lashes at most. It''s just a symbolic punishment. The threat is more significant.
"I''ll give you another chance to jump right away. If you don''t, you''ll be dead!"
"Fool, jump!"
Several soldiers fought with pain and jumped out of the mud pit.
"Very good..."
"Idiot, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry to move forward and give you ten seconds to catch up with you immediately..."
"Pa "Ha..."
The steel whip danced again, making the soldiers tremble.
…………
The training plan formulated by the island protection team is mainly divided into three parts, namely "physical fitness", "combat skills", and "obedience".
Due to the urgency of the war and the limited training time, Renault can only choose to complete the most important and critical training projects, and try to integrate this scattered army as a whole.
Of course, in the process of training, it''s not that there is no fool to resist, or try to slip away quietly. After all, these strange training is a little too torturous.
However, those who did so were severely punished.
For the soldiers who make less serious mistakes, there is only one way for instructors to punish them, that is "squatting".
No, it should be called "closed".
The place of confinement is not a small black house, but a burrow.
The drillmasters dug a deep hole in the mud, put the unfortunate man with shackles in his hands and feet into the hole, and then covered it with a thick iron plate, and the punishment of confinement began.
When it''s time for dinner, someone will lift the iron plate, throw a few pieces of bread as hard as stone and a pot of water into it, and it''s over.
The worst thing is, eating and drinking lasadout? In a narrow place, no matter how strong you are, it''s absolutely unbearable to spend a period of time with your own excrement.
Not to mention the darkness in the cave, no one speaks and no one talks with you. It''s like being isolated from the world. This loneliness is enough to make anyone crazy.
Anyone who has experienced "squatting" will be as honest as a child in the next training.
If there are serious mistakes, such as trying to resist the drillmaster or being a deserter, I''m sorry, the gallows are their only end.
On the first day of training, a total of 17 people were hanged because of various mistakes, which greatly shocked the soldiers who participated in the training.In the vicinity of a training ground, Muse looked at groups of soldiers running in the field, wearing full body armor and carrying heavy loads, and suddenly turned his head and asked:
"under the crown, are you going to fight with the black Orc army?"
"Of course, I don''t want to attack crocodile tooth fortress." Renault looked at the soldiers'' figure gradually away, and replied, "the black Orc army has a great psychological advantage over the human army. As long as this army is placed in the wild, they will come like vultures smelling carrion."
"We can wait for the black bastard to come to our door. Why not fight in the field?"
