After Chen Ning finished washing, he had some breakfast with the two of them, and then Kan Jing returned to the logistics department of the Immortal Bird Legion, and Chen Ning took the Bull Demon King straight to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the Grand Governor.

The Metropolitan Governor met Chen Ning in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, it turned out that the Metropolitan Governor loved Go, and was in the pavilion in the back garden, burning incense and cooking tea, and talking with Yu Wenyuan.

Chen Ning took the Bull Demon King to the backyard pavilion with the guards who led the way, and just raised his hand to salute and say hello, but the Metropolitan Governor, who was playing chess, raised his hand and signaled Chen Ning not to make a sound.

Chen Ning saw that the Metropolitan Governor was looking at the black and white chessboard and thinking intently, so he immediately understood that the Metropolitan Governor was asking him not to make a sound.

Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King stood on the side with their hands down, waiting silently.

I saw that the Metropolitan Governor thought for two minutes, and seemed to have completely sorted out the chess path, no longer hesitated, and decisively put down a white chess piece.

And Yu Wenyuan, who has always been full of ambition, immediately showed a look of surprise when he saw the Dadu Governor's move, and seemed to be surprised by the Dadu Governor's whimsical move, but he quickly played a chess piece and wanted to fight back.

Next, the two of them were like flying, and it didn't take long for them to play more than a dozen hands each, Yu Wenyuan's brows became more and more wrinkled, and his expression became more and more solemn, and finally turned into a bitter gourd face, stretched out his hand to mess up the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and admitted defeat and said: "Dadu Governor chess is unparalleled, I carefully laid out this game of chess, and finally took the advantage steadily, but I was still pulled back by you little by little......"

When Yu Wenyuan said this, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Ning, and then said with a little complaint: "And I think Chen Ning is really my nemesis, yesterday I made a bet with Duan Canglong, and Chen Ning caused me to lose the baby dagger." As soon as Chen Ning came today, he immediately made me lose the chess!"

Chen Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but the Bull Demon King couldn't help but say angrily, "City Lord, your surname is Lai?"

Chen Ning hurriedly shouted: "Ah Niu, presumptuous, how did you talk to the city lord." ”

The Metropolitan Governor smiled and said, "Mr. Yuwen is indeed a bit of a liar, Chen Ning, who is this warrior?"

Chen Ning hurriedly said: "This is my sworn brother, he was born as a scavenger, so he has no name, only a nickname, called the Bull Demon King, I plan to talk to Major General Qin Que and transfer him to my command to form a legion with me." ”

Dadu Du looked at the Bull Demon King, the Bull Demon King was tall, strong as a cow, and looked rough and upright, this kind of warrior was the favorite of all generals, Dadu Governor nodded with a smile: "It's a tiger general seedling." ”

When the Bull Demon King heard that the Metropolitan Governor praised him so much, he took it seriously, and immediately grinned, but he didn't forget to shout: "Actually, my Ah Niu is not so good, but my brother is really powerful, you don't know, when he was at the frontier outpost, although my brother was still a fourth-level general at that time, he repeatedly killed sixth-level zombies......"

Before the Bull Demon King's words were finished, he was poked hard with his elbow by Chen Ning next to him, and Chen Ning whispered a little embarrassed: "Shut up, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak." ”

The Grand Governor and Yu Wenyuan glanced at each other, smiling at each other.

The Metropolitan Governor let Chen Ning sit down, and then said to Chen Ning: "I came here today, in fact, I want to tell you about the formation of your legion, I heard that you have decided to name the legion Black Storm. ”

Chen Ning nodded: "Yes, Black Storm used to be cannon fodder in the eyes of others, but during my time in the Black Storm Army, I found that from the commander of the One-Eyed Dragon Major to the most ordinary soldiers, none of them were bad breeds, all of them were iron-clad warriors." Not long ago, under the attack of the zombie army, almost all the soldiers were killed, and only me and the Bull Demon King survived, and the Black Storm troops had been canceled above. But I want to re-establish the Black Storm Legion, and make every soldier in the legion a warrior like a martyr, so that the will of the Black Storm will last forever. ”

The Metropolitan Governor bowed: "Very good, very ambitious." But if you want to do something, it's not enough to have ambition alone. If you want to build a legion and train it into an elite legion, you need a lot of things, such as the most basic thing, manpower and equipment. ”

Chen Ning: "Students listen to you!"

The Metropolitan Governor picked up the teapot and added tea to the teacups of himself and Chen Ning and Yu Wenyuan, respectively, and said: "The replenishment of personnel is very simple, now outside Vermilion Bird City, there are tens of millions of homeless people entrenched, I allow you to become a recruit, but remember that the size of your current legion can only be a thousand, not more." ”

Chen Ning: "Yes!"

Grand Governor: "As for equipment, I can't help you much in that regard." ”

Chen Ning frowned a little when he heard this, the dignified Metropolitan Governor, now he is leading a hundred thousand imperial troops to garrison Vermilion Bird City, and he actually said that there is not much to do with the equipment of a thousand recruits, this is a bit unreasonable, right?

Yu Wenyuan probably saw Chen Ning's thoughts, so he explained for the Grand Governor: "Chen Ning, you don't know, if it is a normal situation, let alone equipping 1,000 soldiers, it means equipping 10,000 or 50,000 soldiers, and the Grand Governor will sign casually, and the Imperial Armaments Department will work day and night to get the equipment out and equip it for the soldiers, but your legion is different." ”

Chen Ning was puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Wenyuan said: "In fact, in the military, although the Metropolitan Governor is the head of the dragons, the military department is not the Metropolitan Governor's word. Even the four generalissimos have always been unconvinced by the Grand Duke, and they have joined forces to often oppose the Grand Duke, and sometimes they will question and criticize the Grand Duke's decision. For example, this time the martial arts department was single-handedly drummed up by the Grand Governor, and the four generalissimos disagreed, they felt that the Grand Governor was using the public for personal gain and taking the opportunity to cultivate his own lineage forces. ”

When Chen Ning heard this, he somewhat understood what Yuwen Yuan was about to express, and he lowered his voice: "Yuwen City Lord, what do you mean that the four generalissimos are against the Grand Governor, and they do not agree to hold the Martial Arts, let alone agree to the Metropolitan Governor's appropriation or installation of the equipment from the Imperial Arsenal to my new legion?"

Yu Wenyuan nodded: "That's pretty much what it means, there is a lot of equipment in the imperial arsenal, but the four generalissimos, they want to go against the Metropolitan Governor, and they can't see the Metropolitan Governor vigorously cultivating protégés and supporting the new forces of the lineage." As for the Grand Governor, he can't give you too much care of equipment, otherwise, he will be accused and embarrassed by the four generalissimos. ”

Chen Ning was dumbfounded when he heard this, he went to the homeless people to recruit a thousand recruits, and he didn't give them any equipment, and looking at this appearance, it is estimated that the military salary or even military rations will not be given, so can he build an elite army? It is estimated that it is a group of rabble!

Even, this rabble will soon be dispersed because of lack of equipment, no military pay, and no military rations.

Seeing Chen Ning's pessimistic expression, the Metropolitan Governor said, "Chen Ning, you don't have to worry too much and be pessimistic, I can't use the resources of the Imperial Military Department to help you, but I will help you vigorously in terms of policy." For example, if your legion has performed well, I will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds, and the promotion that should be promoted will definitely give you an increase in scale...... As for money, I'll personally sponsor you with 10,000 gold coins as start-up capital. ”

Ten thousand gold coins is a lot, but it is divided among a thousand warriors, and each person has only ten gold coins.

When Chen Ning and Gu Yutong were on a mission with a few bounty hunters, Chen Ning mortgaged the military nameplate in the black market weapon shop in exchange for a seventy percent new shotgun, and the price of the old shotgun was fifty gold coins.

Therefore, ten gold coins per recruit, it is estimated that it is a problem for each person to have one of the most rubbish standard pistols, not to mention that the soldiers have to spend money to eat, drink and lazar.

However, the fact that the Metropolitan Governor was able to sponsor Chen Ning with 10,000 gold coins in a private capacity was already considered a generous gesture, and Chen Ning could only thank him: "Student thank you, sir." ”

The Metropolitan Governor said meaningfully: "Don't thank me, I also know that 10,000 gold coins is just a drop in the bucket for the formation of a legion. However, there are always more solutions than difficulties, and there may be only one difficulty, but there are many ways to solve difficulties, and you can do it yourself. ”

Chen Ning was vaguely aware of the words, he was now in an embarrassing situation, it may have something to do with the four generalissimos, but it should also have something to do with the governor, if the governor insists on helping him form this small army of 1,000 people, even if the four generalissimos protest, what can the four generalissimos do?

So, most likely, this is a test for the Metropolitan Governor to see if he can solve these difficulties?

Sure enough, the Grand Governor finally said to Chen Ning: "Remember, don't always think about what the empire needs to give you, think about what you can do for the empire! If you want to get it, you have to pay first, if your legion makes achievements, then in the end, promotion, money, equipment, and expansion are all not a problem." The premise is that you have to have that value. ”

Chen Ning understood, what the metropolitan governor meant: If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, if you want equipment, and if you want military food and salary?

There is no hatred in the world for no reason, and naturally there is no love for no reason.

Chen Ning began to understand from this minute that the Metropolitan Governor's affection for his teachers and students was not as pure as that of him and the butcher.

However, the requirements of the Grand Governor are very fair and just, and you will be given as many resources as you have the ability.

What Chen Ning has to do now is to prove that he is capable enough and worthy of the investment of the Grand Governor.

He snapped a military salute and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates understand, retire." ”

Seeing that Chen Ning was really a smart person, the Metropolitan Governor nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, go and get busy with you, and strive to make some achievements as soon as possible, I'll wait and see." ”
