Those who just live by the rules are not making society progress, they are only making society sustainable.

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

The head-on battle between the 10,000 trained infantry and the main elite of the 8,000 14th Army Corps sounded like a battle of dragons and tigers, but in fact it was a one-sided battle of slaughter.

The main force of the 14th Army Corps, which desperately wanted to break through the shield wall defense line of the trained infantry, exhausted the morale they had accumulated with great difficulty, but failed to do so; on the contrary, the trained infantry, who were willing to defend, always controlled the initiative in the battle and suppressed the 14th Army Corps to the death.

After the main force of the attacking 14th Army Corps was exhausted, the trained infantry who resolutely counterattacked, with only a round of fierce attacks by 2,000 soldiers on the front line, completely defeated the main force of the 14th Army Corps fighting with gritted teeth, and won the final victory of the contest.

At this time, the left and right armies of the Fourteenth Army were still surrounded by the cavalry under the command of Quintus, and at this time, even the proud Louis had to admit his defeat and ask Bai Feng, who was watching the battle, to end the battle.

When the dejected Louis and the complacent Quintus came to Bai Feng, all the generals who were watching the battle looked at Quintus with curiosity, and the arrogance of Quintus had become the arrogance and strength of a strong man in their eyes.

"General Louis, can you be convinced in this battle?" Bai Feng, as the commander of the army, had already seen the reactions of the generals watching the battle, and at this moment, what he cared more about was undoubtedly the attitude of Louis, the commander of the 14th Army Corps.

"General, the last general has already seen General Quintus's ability, so naturally he will no longer question General Quintus's ability. Louis, whose face was slightly depressed, couldn't help but say: "The last general promises that he will do his best to cooperate with General Quintus in the battle." ”

"Really?" Hearing Louis say this, without waiting for Bai Feng to speak, Quintus, who was standing side by side with Luis, said: "General Louis, I have heard resentment from your words! Don't you want to accept my command? Or are you still not convinced?"

"Hmph! Who would be convinced by an arrogant and rude fellow?" Di Maria, who had the best relationship with Louis, scolded Huai with a gloomy face: "No matter how capable this arrogant and rude guy is, he can't change the arrogant nature of no one in his eyes!"

"Haha! It seems that General Louis is not the only one who has a grudge against me!" Quintus, who laughed loudly, made Di Maria quite annoyed, and even Cavani and others, who didn't like Luis and Di Maria, frowned tightly.

Although Cavani, Tevez, and Renard are at odds with Luis and Di Maria, and they are even optimistic about Luis's defeat, this does not mean that they can accept Quintus's arrogance.

Just as the generals were thinking wildly, Quintus, who was smiling, suddenly bowed to Louis and apologized: "General Louis, I apologize to you for my arrogance and rudeness a month ago, and I hope you can forgive me for my helpless behavior." ”

"General Quintus, what are you ......" Luis, who was almost stunned, didn't know how to respond to Quintus's sudden apology, and all the other generals present were also stunned by Quintus's unexpected move.

"General Louis. Quintus, who had already had a draft, explained to Louis with sincerity: "If the general had directly appointed me as the commander of the luring army a month ago, would the proud generals of the various legions of the luring army willingly accept my command?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's still hard to accept for a while. Luis, who was a little hesitant, added after telling the truth: "But I believe that with the passage of time, your abilities will have a chance to be displayed, and when the time comes, everyone will definitely be convinced by your command." ”

"The crux of the matter is, do we have so much time to waste?" After shaking his head undeniably, Quintus pointed to the north shore and said, "The Jurchens there will not give us much chance, and in order to win, we must be fully prepared." ”

"So, before I met with you, I begged the General to give me a chance to express myself, and thankfully, the General did not reject my request, which led to the unpleasant meeting we had a month ago. ”

"I see!" Louis, who breathed a sigh of relief, complained with a wry smile to Bai Feng, who was smiling on the other side: "General, I didn't expect that you would lie to us with General Quintus; ”

"Okay, you Louis, now you have learned to turn around and find me to make amends!" Looking at Louis who was complaining to himself, Bai Feng scolded with an angry smile: "Then I'll give you a chance, what do you want to compensate yourself, I'll think about it." ”

"This, I'm not greedy, general, you can just give me five thousand sets of new weapons and equipment with a big stroke of the pen!" Louis, who was smiling, stretched out his right hand with five fingers open and reported a number that made the faces of other generals change suddenly.

"General, this must not be done!" As soon as Luis's words fell, a frustrated Cavani quickly jumped out to object.

"General, I also think that there are many ways to compensate the Fourteenth Legion, and there is no need to compensate with new weapons and equipment!" Basaromu, who had been leading the army under Bai Feng's command for a month, followed Cavani and expressed his opposition.

"General, I think this matter should be discussed again!"

"General, the soldiers of the Fourteenth Legion are all brave and good fighters, where do you need any compensation!"

......

In fact, there is only one real reason for their opposition, that is, the output of new weapons and equipment in the equipment manufacturing center is limited every month.

Originally, the weapons and equipment produced by the armor shop in Rome City every month were also distributed to various legions in the name of the equipment manufacturing center, but until last month, after the weapons and equipment produced by the armor shop were supplied to the trained infantry, the weapons and equipment of the equipment manufacturing center were even more limited.

The armor shop in the city of Rome can produce 5,000 sets of Roman youth army weapons and equipment per month, and the equipment manufacturing center can produce 4,000 sets of Roman youth army weapons and equipment per month.

For a long time, Bai Feng gave priority to the supply of sophisticated weapons and equipment from the city of Rome to the troops of the Iron Guard, the Spear Legion, and the Pro-Guard, and the other nine standing legions could only be allocated only 4,000 sets of new weapons and equipment in the equipment manufacturing center.

The total strength of the nine standing regiments with a full strength of 20,000 soldiers is as high as an astonishing 180,000, and the output of the equipment manufacturing center is only 4,000 sets of new weapons and equipment every month.

This is the scene in front of Bai Feng's eyes, General Louis here just proposed that he wants to be compensated in terms of weapons and equipment, and the generals who are also eager for new weapons and equipment over there are scrambling to raise objections, for fear that Bai Feng will really agree to Louis.
