Section 248 Foreign mercenaries (3)

Therefore, the wise general will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells - Sun Tzu's Art of War. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't descend? The strong do not bow to the weak, the wise do not bow to the foolish, the brave do not bow to the drowning, and there is no one in the world who does not surrender.

Yue Xiaofei had a slight smile on his face, as if the victory was already secure. "Captain Holliman, I guess you are not living comfortably right now, and now there is an opportunity to get you out of your current inhuman situation, I wonder if you are interested?"

Holliman's eyes that could penetrate the waves of the sea, staring closely at Yue Xiaofei's eyes, he could see that this person had some not-so-good intentions, and he would not ask these crew members to do anything too good. He slowly moved his body, which had been sitting a little sore for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, let's listen to it, maybe we can talk about it together." ”

The smile on the corner of Yue Xiaofei's mouth became even thicker, "I promise, you will be interested, you see that my manpower is not very sufficient, and my money is not very sufficient, even if I train them, it will take a long time, but time is very hasty for me, so I have such an idea......"

Holliman smiled, he understood. This is probably a lord on the mainland, he wants to fight for the world, he needs a strong helper, "Oh, this is a politician who can sell everything for profit, I like it!" "The heart decided to agree first, anyway, in the future, there will be a governor to decide this matter, as long as he can go back, everything can be promised first.

"We have a strong Dutch army, and if you need it, I will go back and mobilize the company's army and help you as much as I can."

"Hmph, hahaha......" Yue Xiaofei was angry with this guy, "Sea Coachman" He was really a little arrogant, and even laughed at this Holliman who used the tricks of deceiving those fools in Indonesia to deal with himself, I really don't know how to write the word "old-fashioned".

Holliman said his thoughts triumphantly, but he didn't expect to laugh like a mockery from the other party, his face couldn't hold back, and he said loudly to Yue Xiaofei: "Your Excellency, what's so funny, the army of my Dutch Empire is many times more powerful than your army that is still using cold weapons, and it will ...... in the future."

He said as he said that Roger was the translator, but he knew the power of the Dutch fleet, and he had dealt with them more than once in those days in the South Seas.

"Shut up, in the future! For the time being, your Excellency Captain has not yet come, and you are now only equal to the price of two cows. I can tell you that my intention is that you will make me a mercenary for six years at the cost of getting rid of your present life, out of the penal squad, and for regaining your human rights. As for your Dutch fleet, it won't take a year or two soon for me to give you a taste of it, and the one hiding in Taiwan, who sooner or later will also be the material for the bald team! ”

Holriman didn't believe what Roger was saying, he thought that this young man was too arrogant, he had never seen a fleet at all, think of the Spanish Armada, think of the fleet in the British Empire, I really don't know what kind of expression such a young man would have in the face of those terrifying fleets.

Holliman was unhappily silent for a moment, if other things were put aside, his proposal was indeed worth considering, being a mercenary was much better than being a slave, but he didn't pay the military ...... "Uh! Your Excellency, your proposal is a bit interesting, but you don't pay the military ......."

"Why is it not enough to give you freedom after six years? Okay, let me add a little more, our army has a meritorious professional soldier system, if you accumulate enough points during the battle, you can get your military salary early, and our military salary is ......"

Holliman's eyes widened, their military pay was calculated in silver, and if so, he would be unsure of what kind of official he was, how much silver would be required. Both eyes narrowed, and they seemed to be silvery white inside.

"Well, Sir, this seems to be a bit interesting, but what about me, our officers, won't I be like those inferior sailors!"

Yue Xiaofei smiled thoroughly, in the final analysis, he still cared most about his own interests, "Of course, of course, no problem, you officers don't have to be mercenaries, you will be teachers, but you can think clearly, who doesn't teach me well, this hard labor team has always been short of people." And you can pay your teachers' salaries now, and our teachers' salaries here are also very high, how about it...... What do you think, Captain Holliman? ”

Holliman smiled too. He couldn't believe that there could be such a good thing, that he didn't have to serve hard labor, that he didn't have to fight, that he could be a teacher in this beautiful city, "Oh! My God, it's just wonderful! ”

"Okay, I'm glad if you want to, then your crew and soldiers will be persuaded by you."

"Your advice, Sir, shows that you are a very generous and benevolent governor, and I will persuade my men as soon as possible. However, Your Excellency, I don't know when our hard labor will end! ”

Yue Xiaofei was also very happy, in the past, there were only free laborers, but now there are so many free soldiers, this business is done, and he can't do it without admiring himself. And you must know that these foreign devils have all been trained in a certain amount of queues and firearms, but it is much cheaper than training an untrained person. So as soon as I heard Holliman's question, I immediately didn't say yes.

"No problem, as long as you agree, and promise to abide by the laws and systems of our Shenzhou City, and obey the command of the Shenzhou Army, you can immediately get out of hard labor."

Holliman was so proud, as if this opportunity he had won for his crew and soldiers, who could finally escape from the inhuman life and finally return to the human world, it was all due to him Holliman!

In this regard, the establishment of the Shenzhou Army has the first foreign mercenary establishment, but this is only the beginning, compared to Western European people do not have the loyal virtue of the Chinese or other Eastern peoples, of course, such virtues are sometimes not reflected in some people, these Western European people have a characteristic, they are often more loyal to the mercenary, as for the nation or country and other things in the eyes of these perennial drifting people are relatively light.

Within a few days, the first and second battalions of the Shenzhou Army were established. Officers still pass the assessment, otherwise they will be held by the officers of the Shenzhou Army, and other treatment is the same as that of the Shenzhou Army, but they apply the meritorious professional soldier system, and there is no military salary for the time being, but this is not too difficult in the eyes of the soldiers, they firmly believe that as long as they fight, these are not all problems.

As for the self-proclaimed smart Chen Tongyi, Yue Xiaofei didn't embarrass such a villain too much, and placed him in school to teach foreign languages, which can be regarded as a small change for Yue Xiaofei, maybe one day everyone will see a person with the demeanor of a king!
