Chapter 282: I have no money, and I feel bitter
For this neuropathy sighed, everyone expressed their most cordial greetings: "Are you sick?? ”
Barrett hurriedly snorted: "I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter how you say it, it's a big profit. ”
He glanced at Major Li Xuan, who had followed the lieutenant colonel to Mavisis, and Madur, who had arrived from the Eastern Star Sector.
"Now Corson is in charge of the East...... although Barrett doesn't know how Corson managed to take over the Eastern District without any problems.
But he understood that the Mishan was a gift from Kirson, and even the evacuation of Otto from Mavisis unharmed was also acquiesced by him.
How could Corson not know about Barrett and Erie's predicament? They are too lacking in ground power, although the Mishan is only a large group, but it is not impossible for 10,000 elite army units to hold a medium-sized planet in the current combat intensity.
It's just that he didn't know that after the Mishan set off, the Eagle Legion came from the north.
"Anyway, thank him! Come, let's first toast to Comrade Kesen's righteousness! Barrett suggested.
Everyone at the table responded in unison, and the team was pulled up.
After dinner, in the living room, several people divided into groups and whispered something.
The lieutenant colonel was talking to Rose about the military port of the mothership, and this matter should be planned in advance, preferably in a port with an independent berth, and closer to the new site of the Otto Company.
Because in fact, the new mothership Tianfu has not been completely completed, and there is still a very important equipment on it that has not yet been completed.
Part of the reason why Otto was willing to follow Peter back to Farnet was that he did not want to see the masterpiece in such an imperfect state.
Colonel Madur sat with Barrett as they discussed the placement of the Mishan, which was not needed because of the Eagle Legion in Fannet.
"Yun Chuan, what do you think?" Barrett asked, there are only two options for the Mishan now, one is Myers, and there is a shortage of troops there.
But Myers' strategy still has to be considered in the long run, at least Barrett can't take care of it there.
The placement of Otto and the new mothership was a top priority.
"Jungle?" Madur trimmed his beard with his fingers.
"I think that's okay, but now we have more serious problems that need to be solved." Madur agreed, but he had one request.
"Say, do we still need to hide it?" Barrett said cheerfully.
"Salary problem, the Eastern Star Region hasn't paid the people below me for three months." Madur didn't really want to talk to him about money, but sometimes money is better than people.
After all, there are not one or two people below, and many of them are dragging their families, and Madur doesn't want them to be difficult.
Barrett paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Yan Hua, he didn't have any money.
No, it should be said that the little money in his hand is a fortune in the eyes of others, but in fact he can't do anything in this state.
Lieutenant Colonel Yan Hua's gaze wandered a little, she was obviously hiding from something.
"Difficult?" Madur asked, regretting the question, but when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Cissai's murderous eyes, he could only ask stubbornly.
"We're just a chamber of commerce, it's best to wait for His Highness to come back." Yan Hua said helplessly, in fact, she had a hard time.
When the Eagle Legion arrived at Farnet, she was the only one who could be found because Barrett and His Highness were not here.
You must know that even if there are less than 10,000 people in advance, the camp placement, infrastructure costs, personnel salaries, armament and food salaries that come one after another all cost money.
Especially the infrastructure costs of the barracks, although Yan Hua didn't have to deal with it personally, the long bill kept her awake for several nights.
This is the reason why the Chamber of Commerce generally only raises one hundred and eighty mercenaries.
Spending money like flowing water is what describes the army.
"Shouldn't this money come from the military department?" Barrett honestly doesn't know much about this, he's always been a shopkeeper, and money or anything has never bothered him.
"It used to be like this, but now I'm afraid it won't work." Madur shook his head, he knew that since Nopro went to the Covenant, the situation in Thelorn had gotten worse and worse, and it was said that there had been two or three street shootouts in a row recently, and even the Guards Legion could not stop them.
As a result, there has been considerable delay in the information passage from Thelorn to other areas, especially if some people estimate that they are ghosts.
Money is actually a small problem, and the materials and equipment that need to be transported in large quantities are the most difficult things now.
"I see, that means that before the Sellon side solves this problem, whether it is military pay or materials, we have to figure out our own way?" Barrett roughly figured it out, and he felt tricky.
The military uniform food is not bad, and the individual equipment can also be solved by the ordnance repair factory in the Saf fortress.
However, energy and precious metals are important products of the western region, although there are some small energy mines and gaseous planets in the southern region, it is still difficult to maintain a continuous war.
Barrett scratched his head, he was a little confused, it turned out that making money is such a difficult thing, there is no need to know that once he spends the money, his little savings will not be able to do anything at all, and even pay two months' salary, and he is only such a small person in Madur.
Looks like we need to find a way to make money.
"I see, let's pay them a month's salary first! At the very least, solve the household first. Barrett said: "I'll figure out how to do the rest, and you tell them that we don't have a habit of arrears of wages, so that everyone can rest assured." ”
Rose, who was talking to the lieutenant colonel over there, tried to speak twice, but was blocked by the lieutenant colonel, and she knew in her heart that the lieutenant colonel was the same.
He couldn't let someone continue like this, he had to sense the urgency of the coming war.
This is tantamount to teaching him a lesson, war is not only about leading troops to fight, but also logistics support, personnel and materials, and equipment building, all of which are indispensable links in war.
What's the use of just charging the world's unparalleled? Isn't being surrounded by people the end of starvation?
After the meeting was dismissed, Barrett sent the lieutenant colonel and the others away, and they would stay in the military station for the time being, because soon both Madur and the lieutenant colonel would have to go to Saf Fortress to report on their duties, and it would be more convenient to leave Hong Kong there.
Barrett was alone in the room, biting the barrel of his pen, writing and drawing in his notebook.
The quickest solution now is to borrow money from the Mozhu Chamber of Commerce, but this is just a cope, and Barrett understands that if he can't find a way to make money, it is extremely stupid to live on debt alone.
It's just that the money still has to be borrowed, because Barrett now uses money in a lot of places, but there are not many points that can generate wealth.
Even if you want to make money with money, you have to find a way to do it.
As he was writing, a crack opened in the door.
Nini was peeking outside the door to see his reaction.
Putting down the pen and stretching, Barrett waved at her.
The little man rushed into his arms like a whirlwind.
"What's wrong? It's been a bit much lately. Barrett apologized.
Since he came back from Yunchuan, Barrett hasn't spent as much time with Nini as he has with Rose.
But he couldn't always be with her, especially when the lieutenant colonel brought back so many people.
The villain shook his head sensibly, looked up at him and said, "I still have some dowry, let's sell it for you for money." I know you're having a hard time. ”
Barrett laughed: "You, just stay well, don't worry about money." ”
Stroking her cheek, Barrett felt so emotional, even Nini could see that he was embarrassed.
Lieutenant Colonel, how could they not see, so he did not talk to himself about money at all, even if his men were among the first to join his army.
It's just that the lieutenant colonel chose to avoid talking about it, which doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with what Madur is doing, because this is not a trivial matter, but a very straightforward survival fundamental.
If a soldier does not have even the bare minimum of subsistence support, how can he have absolute loyalty?
Taking a step back, even if they support you fanatically, they can't last forever.
It's impossible for their wives and children to live without food or drink, which is very unrealistic!
As for Nini's dowry, Barrett knew that the ring that Philia gave her, in her heart, was an absolute artifact that surpassed her sisters.
How could Barrett possibly let her sell?
"Money will be settled, trust me." Barrett said softly, his hand brushing the little man's forehead and causing her to blush.
Don't you have money and don't have a face? Just pull down your face and borrow money!
Barrett made up his mind to go to see Wang Hui early tomorrow morning, and he used it to cheat and deceive, just to get some life-saving money out of his hand.
