The task of going to the Goslar silver mines to select Hungarian prisoners of war willing to go to the islands of Cuba and Haiti was given to Kleiman Knights. It should be pointed out that this Kleiman is the younger brother of Karn and Kohler, and Marin visited Karn's house for the first time and met this guy.

It's just that Kleiman is a little sad, he can't catch up with his eldest brother Karn by force, and his brain can't catch up with his second brother Kohler. Then, it became a half-baked goods that are not high or low. But his family is very prominent in the North Sea Kingdom, and the eldest brother Karn and the second brother Kohler are now all third-class counts of the North Sea Kingdom, that is, from the earls (counts are divided into counts, vice-counts, and slave counts, and the same is true for other titles. Of course, there is currently only one rank for Duke and above, and it is not yet open to his subordinates). Although the count is the lowest-ranking count of the North Sea Kingdom, he is also an earl.

One door and two counts are both glory and pressure for Kleiman, a man who is not capable of anything. With the support of his two elder brothers, he is now only barely a hereditary knight, and the difference between his status and the two elder brothers is 108,000 miles.

It's not that Karn and Kohler won't help him, it's that he doesn't have enough credit......

This time he went to the Goslar silver mines to select Hungarian prisoners of war, and Kahn won this opportunity for Kleiman. If you perform well, and then go to the colony to fight two battles, you may be able to mix up the battle achievements. When the battle exploits are accumulated to a certain extent, plus the help of two brothers, a baron can still be mixed.

Before Kleiman left, Kohler, the smarter second brother, told him for a long time. Kleiman also listened, after all, he was not stupid.

And after arriving in Goslar, after entering the Rammelsberg silver mine for some investigation, Kleiman suddenly realized that this seems to be very simple!

What is a simple method? Because Kleiman discovered that in the Rammelsberg silver mine, in addition to the miners who went down to mine, there was also a smelting area on the surface where smelting furnaces were concentrated, and it was responsible for smelting the mined and screened silver ore into blast furnaces to smelt silver.

There were more than 7,000 Hungarian prisoner of war helpers in charge of smelting silver......

In addition to the hundreds of skilled craftsmen who are actually in charge of the blast furnace, most of the smelting area is responsible for carrying the filtered concentrate and climbing ladders to pour the ore into the furnace at the top of the blast furnace. These coolies, since the arrival of the Hungarian prisoners of war, were handed over to them. In addition, after the smelting, they would carry the molten silver from the containers, pour it into the model, and cast it into silver nuggets and bars......

These jobs not only require a lot of effort, but also the working environment is quite hot, about the same as the temperature in the blacksmith's shop, forty or fifty degrees Celsius is common, and it can even reach 60 degrees. Therefore, most of the Hungarian prisoners of war who worked in the factories of the smelting area were shirtless, sweating profusely, and looked very greasy.

"That's it!" Seeing this scene, Kleiman snapped his fingers with joy.

Previously, both Marin and Kohler had told him to investigate who was more heat-tolerant. Now, it can be seen at a glance - prisoners of war who have worked in the smelting area for a year can still be afraid of heat? He'd heard that the temperature in the blacksmith's shop was hotter than in Cuba. The more than 7,000 Hungarian prisoners of war who worked in the smelting area for a year must have adapted to the high temperatures.

Moreover, these coolies who have been carrying ore on the top of the furnace for a long time generally have a lot of strength. Otherwise, he would not have been selected to work as a coolie in the smelting area.

Therefore, Kleiman directly selected 4,000 Hungarian prisoners of war who were more honest and willing to learn German from the more than 7,000 coolies in the smelting area and brought them back directly. And these Hungarian prisoners of war who worked as coolies in the smelting area were also willing to go to the island of Cuba to serve as soldiers. After all, it is also very hard to work every day in a smelting area that is hotter than the tropics. If you can go to the colony to be an uncle, why not?

As for the problems in the mine because of the lack of coolies in the smelting area of 4,000 all of a sudden? Kleiman said - pick out another batch of tops......

Kleiman is not bad, after all, when these Hungarian prisoners of war first came, didn't they have so many coolies in the smelting area? Big deal, pick another batch......

And Kleiman's method of selecting coolies adapted to the tropical climate also made Marin more appreciated. After all, those who can work in the smelting area are definitely not afraid of heat, so they will not worry about the problem of water and soil adaptation in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that they can adapt to the local environment at once when they go to the island of Cuba. After all, the high temperature in the smelting area is dry heat. On the other hand, the islands of Cuba and Haiti have humid tropical climates. Once there, they still have to get used to it for a while. At most, they are more likely to adapt to the local climate than those who are sensitive to heat, and the adaptation time is much shorter.

"Perhaps, we can follow this method and train soldiers who are adapted to the tropical climate?" Sauer proposed.

Sauer believes that people who are accustomed to the heat of blacksmiths and smelters will be more likely to adapt to the tropical climate. Moreover, it is also possible to test who cannot adapt to the hot climate. After all, there are people who are afraid of the heat who cannot stay in the blacksmith shop and smelter.

"Okay, that's it!" Marin thought Sauer's proposal was a good one. By exercising in the hot climate of the blacksmith shop and smelter, you can also select people who are really unable to adapt to the hot climate, so as not to have to change people when you get to. You must know that in the colonies of Cuba, Grenada and Panama, Marin has changed more than 200 times. No way, those people are really not adapted to the tropical climate and are very afraid of heat. After arriving in the tropical colony, although he will not die of a bad disease, he will be weak in his hands and feet, and he will be weak, and he will look very uncomfortable. This is related to people's physique, some people are naturally afraid of cold, some people are naturally afraid of heat, and some people are afraid of both cold and heat, no rut......

After making this decision, Marin further refined the plan, and decided that in the future, the coolies in the silver mining and smelting areas would be selected first, and Hungarian prisoners of war who were honest and obedient and willing to learn German. Because, those people, Marin may continue to be incorporated in the future......

The world is so big, Marin won't stop conquering. While the size of the 7,000 colonial army is large enough, it will take more people to conquer and develop more areas.

In addition to selecting honest and obedient Hungarian prisoners of war who were willing to learn German to serve as coolies in the silver smelting area, Marin also planned to recruit some people from the German serfs who were willing to work for him and go to the silver smelter for training. Then, sent to the tropical colonies.

After all, Marin was German after all and did not dare to fully trust those Hungarians. The real reliable ones are their own family members. Let the German youth under his rule go to the smelter for a few months to exercise, and then send them to Cuba, Panama and other tropical colonies, and serve as the core and main force of the colonial army, so that Marin can be reassured enough......

In fact, blacksmiths are very well adapted to hot climates. Moreover, the blacksmiths have a lot of strength and strong arm strength because they strike iron all day long. Moreover, he is also familiar with swords. On the battlefield, the blacksmith is definitely an elite soldier! For example, Chi Gong, the fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty, was born as a blacksmith and was very powerful.

But Marin knew that it would be more profitable for the blacksmiths to stay in the forge to help him craft weapons. Therefore, he prefers to use the smelter to train the coolies to adapt to the high temperatures. Then, send to the colony to fight in the war. In this way, it is more cost-effective......
