The bird thought it was a charitable act to hold the fish in the air.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

Bai Feng, who was smiling secretly in his heart when the generals looked at him expectantly, changed his hand and gave this great opportunity to buy people's hearts to Quintus and said: "General Quintus, you are already the commander of the army that lures the enemy, what do you think of General Louis's request?"

"I don't think there's anything inappropriate about General Louis's request. Quintus, who was smiling, said bluntly: "If you can, I think you should add enough new weapons and equipment for the two wings to be reequipped with the Fourteenth Army." ”

As soon as Quintus finished speaking, Luis cast a slightly grateful glance at him, and all the generals present, including Luis, knew that the newcomer Quintus could sit in the position of commander of the army, and more important than his ability was Bai Feng's trust.

Now that Quintus said such a thing, does it mean that Bai Feng agreed to go along with the boat? As soon as he thought of this, the generals, who were not calm, became more and more anxious; after all, this was a major event that affected how many new weapons and equipment their respective legions could get!

The equipment manufacturing center in Besançon Province, which Bai Feng set up with his own hands, can produce 4,000 sets of new weapons and equipment every month, which is similar to the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army, and is evenly divided into nine legions, each of which is about 450 sets.

With only 450 sets of new weapons and equipment, how many officers and men can replace their weapons and equipment? Not even one brigade is enough! If another month's output is compensated to the 14 th Army Corps, then the officers and men of the other eight Army Corps will not change their weapons and equipment?!

"Quintus, since you are already the commander of the army, then I will give you full responsibility for the distribution of new weapons and equipment for the army under your command. In this regard, Bai Feng's attitude was: "In addition, the equipment manufacturing center will also be temporarily handed over to you to manage." ”

As if he was afraid that the matter was not big enough, Bai Feng added: "I ordered a batch of new weapons and equipment from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce before, and I will be personally responsible for the refitting of the other legions that are not among the luring enemy army, and I don't need to make arrangements for it in Quintus." ”

In this way, the Predator Guard, who has already been fully redressed, does not need to worry, and Di Maria, who is close to Luis, is also an old god; only Cavani, Tevez, and Renard are left, but they bow their heads with depressed and unwilling faces.

"General Louis, I will deliver all the four thousand sets of new weapons and equipment promised to you by the end of this month. Quintus, who was smiling even more, first made a promise to Luis, who was secretly happy, and then turned to the other four generals and explained:

"I have good news for you, the output of new weapons and equipment in the equipment manufacturing center will increase from the original 4,000 sets to 6,000 sets this month, and from this month onwards, the Imperial East will deliver 2,000 sets of new weapons and equipment every month!"

"How could the Imperial East send us weapons and equipment?" asked Louis, who had been allocated 4,000 sets of new weapons and equipment.

"There is an equipment manufacturing center in the eastern part of the empire, which I also set up with my own hands, which belongs to my personal property. Bai Feng, who had arranged all this behind the scenes, explained: "Because the war is urgent, I will give priority to transferring the new weapons and equipment there for you to use." ”

8,000 sets of new weapons and equipment every month, even if the 14th Army Corps distributes 4,000 sets this month, each of the other four legions can get 1,000 sets; this figure is already very valuable for the generals who used to be able to distribute only 450 sets per month.

Even if everyone knows that these 8,000 sets of new weapons and equipment were not obtained by Quintus, they came out of his mouth anyway, and the distribution of these new weapons and equipment in the future is still in the hands of Quintus, and the attitude of Louis and others towards him has become more and more kind.

Cardinal Archbishop Scola, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said to Bai Feng when the matter was about to end: "Your Excellency Bai Feng, our Holy See wants to contribute to the soldiers of your army who lack weapons and equipment, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?"

"Yes, of course we are willing to accept it!" Bai Feng, who had doubts in his heart, accepted with a smile on his face: "Your court's willingness to help us is a symbol of the deep friendship between our empire and your court, how can we refuse a gift from a friend?"

"That's good. Archbishop Scola, who was kind-eyed, said in a gentle tone: "I will immediately contact all the white-clothed archbishops of our Holy See in your country, and try to provide your army with enough weapons and equipment for the replacement of 50,000 troops in the shortest possible time." ”

Bai Feng, who couldn't figure out the true thoughts of Archbishop Scola, originally planned to just say a few words to the other party, and wait until the evening to go to the Holy Maiden Charlotte to ask what was going on;

Using his status as the commander of the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, accepting 50,000 sets of weapons and equipment from the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See is a matter of peace of mind for Bai Feng;

However, when the thoughtful Bai Feng turned his gaze to the generals beside him, his face immediately changed slightly, and seeing the kindness to the Holy See in the eyes of Cavani and the others, Bai Feng, who was as careful as a hair, immediately understood the true intention of Archbishop Scola.

"You want to win the favor of my generals in front of me, do you really think that I am a member of your Holy See?" Bai Feng, who sneered in his heart, did not have the slightest idea of destroying Archbishop Scola's intentions;

After Quintus was promoted to the commander of the luring army, the six legions to which the luring army belonged did not return to the camp of the army and were directly stationed on the bank of the Xingyue River.

Of course, having seen the combat effectiveness of Quintus's recruits, Ranocchia had no objection to the reinforcement of the trained infantry into the Iron Guard, which would be on par with the standing army in size, and even better in terms of combat power.

The remaining 10,000 trained longbowmen and 10,000 trained cavalry among the recruits, according to Bai Feng's original plan, should stay under Quintus as a reserve to supplement the troops;

Donald, known as a cavalry monster, has no need to say how crazy he is about cavalry: only about half of the 10,000 cavalry under his command are specially trained cavalry, and the remaining half are newly recruited young men who can ride horses.

Even the half of the specially trained cavalry was a big difference compared to the 10,000 trained cavalry under Quintus, and Donald, who was itching, stubbornly asked Bai Feng to transfer the trained cavalry under Quintus to his cavalry corps.

After careful consideration, Bai Feng still did not refute his teacher's face after all, the reserve supplementary soldiers under the command of Quintus were only 10,000 trained longbowmen, and Donald's cavalry corps was expanded from 10,000 cavalry to 20,000, and the elite level was more than doubled!
