After several days of marching at full speed, the soldiers of the mighty Seventh Wing finally returned to the 40th Army before the main army arrived at Sunset Fortress, and Giscard, the commander of the 7th Wing, who personally greeted the 7th Wing, was red-eyed at the sight of the weapons and equipment of the 7th Wing.

"Bai Feng, where did you get so many weapons and equipment?!" Giscard, who was shocked by the luxurious weapons and equipment on the soldiers of the Seventh Wing, quietly pulled Bai Feng aside and asked, "You kid tell me honestly, did you rob the military headquarters?"

"Robbing the Imperial Military Headquarters?" Bai Feng, who couldn't cry or laugh, had no choice but to say helplessly: "Your Excellency, my esteemed Legion Commander, do you think I dare to rob the Imperial Military Headquarters? Besides, the current Imperial Military Department is poor and white, and they have so many sophisticated weapons and equipment?"

"That's the same!" Giscard, who nodded seriously, spit on the Imperial Military Department with disdain: "Let that old guy who has never even been on the battlefield be the boss of the military department, how can the military department have weapons and equipment?"

This kind of thing involving the struggle between the upper echelons of the empire, Bai Feng will not be involved, even if he has been labeled as the eighth prince, but in the army where the factional struggle is not fierce, he will still maintain a considerable neutrality.

It seemed that he sensed that Bai Feng was reluctant to talk about this topic, so Giscard directly changed the topic and said, "Since you kid didn't rob the Imperial Military Department, where did your Seventh Wing get so many weapons and equipment?"

The expansion of the size of the Seventh Wing was originally an order personally issued by the commander of the army, Duke Gna, and Giscard, who was in charge of conveying the order in the middle, was naturally clear about this, so he didn't ask Bai Feng about this matter at all.

"These sophisticated weapons and equipment are all bought by me from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce at a great price!" Bai Feng, who was flustered and did not change his face and did not change his heartbeat, said in a serious manner: "I am the wing captain of the Seventh Wing, I can't just watch the soldiers go to the battlefield to fight the orcs without even weapons and equipment, right?"

"Alas......" Hearing Bai Feng say this, Giscard said with a sad face: "You are the wing captain of the seventh wing, you can't watch your own soldiers fight the orcs unarmed, what about me, the commander of the legion?"

"This guy knows how to cry and pretend to be pitiful and ask for something!" After scolding silently in his heart, Bai Feng, who had already been blackmailed, was very glad that he had prepared before; he pretended to be considerate and answered: "How many soldiers in the legion lack weapons and equipment?"

"Four thousand five hundred soldiers! Our Fortieth Legion just received a batch of weapons and equipment from the Imperial Military Department from the Duke a few days ago, and now there are still four thousand five hundred soldiers who lack weapons and equipment, and on average each wing has a brigade of soldiers without weapons and equipment. ”

Obviously, this average value does not include the first wing and the seventh wing, and the other eight wings that rely on the allocation of weapons and equipment from the military department are also normal, and it is normal for them to lack weapons and equipment, but Giscard's quick answer still made Bai Feng's forehead jump.

Blackmail, blackmail, can't you be a little more reserved? Even blackmail is done so simply and directly, Bai Feng, who hates it so much, really wants to smash it on the other party's smiling old face with his fist!

However, Bai Feng is not the master who only suffers losses and does not ask for returns; it is one thing to prepare for the situation in advance, but it is another thing to really take out the prepared weapons and equipment, and he does not plan to unconditionally hand over the weapons and equipment of 4,500 people to Giskal.

"Legion Commander, you also know that our Bai family is only a new duke family after all, and its strength is not as good as those old duke families with profound backgrounds, and it is really not a trivial matter for our Bai family to take out enough weapons and equipment to arm four thousand five hundred people!"

Seeing that things have been raised to the level of the Bai family by Bai Feng, how could Giscard not understand Bai Feng's purpose;

The fact that Giscard was able to become the commander of the 40th Army showed that he was definitely not a political idiot, and the weapons and equipment that were enough to arm 4,500 people was not a small amount, and Bai Feng meant that he could provide this batch of weapons and equipment.

At this time, Cabaye's cavalry brigade broke away from the seventh wing and was galloping towards the first wing to which they originally belonged. ”

"No!" Bai Feng, who had achieved his goal, hurriedly took the order, and then Bai Feng reported to Giscard with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency Commander of the Legion, our Seventh Wing has seized a large number of weapons and equipment in the process of suppressing bandits, please send someone to our Wing to receive it!"

"Haha! Captain Bai Feng is really the hero of my 40th Legion, not only did he have a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, but also captured a large number of weapons and equipment!" The two guests and hosts laughed like foxes and treacherously, and the soldiers on the side couldn't help but shudder.

In Bai Feng's opinion, he was able to exchange two thousand sets of weapons and equipment used by barbarian warriors and two thousand five hundred sets of captured weapons and equipment for the command of the cavalry brigade, which was an extremely cost-effective deal, after all, he didn't want the fortieth legion to perform too badly on the battlefield.

If the performance of the 40th Legion on the battlefield is too poor, then the 7th Wing, which is a member of the 40th Legion, will not be able to gain the recognition of the imperial military circles no matter how hard they try;

In Giscar's view, he was able to use the ownership of the cavalry brigade in exchange for enough weapons and equipment to arm 4,500 soldiers, which was also an extremely cost-effective deal; the acquisition of this batch of weapons and equipment could definitely improve the two-layer combat effectiveness of his legion.

As for the ownership of the cavalry brigade, whether the cavalry brigade belongs to the first wing of Kabul or the seventh wing of Bai Feng, it is a part of the 40th legion, isn't it? As the commander of the corps, Giscard understands this better than anyone else.

Otherwise, he would not have connived at Bai Feng to expand the scale of the Seventh Wing little by little and improve the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Wing, and it could even be said that without the secret acquiescence of Commander Giscard, there would be no Seventh Wing that is growing stronger and stronger today!

Although Bai Feng did not provide the same weapons and equipment as the Seventh Wing itself, Giscard left the Seventh Wing with weapons and equipment contentedly, and at this point, Cabaye's cavalry brigade officially became a subordinate brigade under the Seventh Wing.

With the addition of the Cavalry Brigade, the number of brigades of the 7th Wing increased from 13 to 14, including the only cavalry units of the entire regiment, so that almost all of the best combat units of the 40th Regiment were concentrated in the 7th Wing.

It is true that the 1st Wing of Cabul has better quality troops and better weapons and equipment than the other 8 Wings, but it is only relatively speaking, and the quality of its troops is a step stronger than that of the new brigade of the 7th Wing, and it is still one level weaker than the old brigade of the 7th Wing.

The gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment is even greater, and the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army and the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry that must be produced by the system are much better than those issued by the military department to the newly established legions!
