(The third more, eating, followed by the yard.) ）

Ye Kai's flickering words aggravated Sun Chuanfang's curiosity, his judgment just now was not wrong, the reason why he mentioned other troops in addition to the Blue Army in the question was because he felt that the troops stationed there were nine times out of ten that they were not the Blue Army, and their movements could not be so fast, especially the big guys like heavy machine guns, it was impossible to carry them to the top of the mountain in such a short time, they should be other troops that had been ambushed in advance, and it was very likely that they did not belong to either side of the Red and Blue.

Sun Chuanfang's guess was quickly fulfilled, and just when everyone thought that the award ceremony was over, Ye Kai continued to read according to the list, without the slightest intention of stopping.

"On the eve of the exercise, all the 658 officers and men of the machine gun battalion were ordered to garrison the high ground in the exercise area, brave the rain to hold on, and fulfill their mission.

As soon as Ye Kai's words came out, the soldiers who had fallen silent talked about it again, and the topic focused on the first two words, Black!

Black? What Black? When does a black square pop up?

The people below looked at each other, and naturally no one knew the result, as the only black army, the machine gun battalion was secretly deployed to the high ground in the highest state of secrecy, in order to avoid leaking the news, Ye Kai did not notify others in advance, and no more than five people knew about it, limited to the top of the Praetorian Guard, so at this moment, only a few people on the rostrum were calm and calm.

With the end of the exercise, this mysterious force is finally exposed to the air, and their mission in the exercise is only one, to attack any soldiers who try to occupy the high ground, hold the position, and it is worth the end.

Although the mission goal was not reached, and the position was finally breached, but considering the actual environment, Ye Kai still awarded them a medal, not for anything else, because of that bad weather, in order to implement Ye Kai's instructions that the troops should be concealed and not to expose their positions too early, when the rain blows, the red and blue troops can also move to avoid the rain, and they can only remain motionless, stick to their positions, let the continuous rain soak their clothes, and wear heavy clothes to fight, and the physical consumption is naturally greater than that of any party.

When the glittering Ben Yongzhang was worn on Lu Shuangming's chest, he didn't say anything else, but saluted a heavy military salute, in that difficult time, he did not have the slightest special, and his soldiers shared weal and woe, together in the rain on the position, the commander and the soldiers snuggled up to each other, this scene also deeply infected everyone.

Ye Kai solemnly returned a military salute, and also did not say anything else, in front of a real soldier, there is no need to bother to speak, his honor is given by the medal on his chest, not from the nod of a certain commander.

"In the next two days, all the officers and men of the Praetorian Guard will be disbanded in situ for rest." Sitting back on the rostrum, Ye Kai finally announced: "Rest well, the future training will be more hard and tiring." ”

The crowd erupted in cheers, what could be more wonderful than this, as for the training after Ye Kai said, let's wait for this while, and then talk about it, and then say that day is not so tired that I want to die

The soldiers' happy day arrived, but for those of the top of the Praetorian Guard, who stood at the top, the trouble was not over, and as soon as the reward and punishment meeting was over, another emergency meeting began.

Ye Kai, Ha Hanzhang, Jiang Yanxing, and the heads of various auxiliary departments gathered together to discuss the most difficult problems facing the Praetorian Guard.

There is no money

The accounts are almost exhausted, and there are only less than 100,000 taels of silver left, which will not last long, and if there is no more money into the account of the Praetorian Guard within half a month, it is very likely that they will face the embarrassment of having no money to use.

If it weren't for that day, after the exercise, the tired recruits ate and drank with their stomachs open, and the rest of the money would have lasted a few more days, but as soon as this approach was proposed, it was firmly rejected by the former.

A soldier's deflated stomach is the combat effectiveness that has fallen, and there can be no discount in the slightest.

But what's the use of having empty soldiers when there is no money?

For a while, everyone, including Ye Kai, was in a dilemma by this realistic situation.

"Brother Yanxing, how much of the stolen money that was lost was recovered?" Ye Kai suddenly thought of the military expenses of more than 30,000 taels, and if he could recover it, it would be regarded as solving part of the urgent need.

"Good brother, where can I get that money back?" Jiang Yanxing replied with a sad face: "It has long been squandered by those people, and the rest is less than three thousand taels." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Kai's face was also a little gloomy, rewarding them with tens of thousands of taels of a bullet, this price is really extravagant.

At this conference, Ye Kai originally wanted to mention the results of this military picket, or the decision to shoot those illegal moths was announced, but after soliciting some other people's opinions and Ye Kai's careful consideration, he still gave up, after all, this belongs to the disgraceful side of the Praetorian Guard.

"Where do you think you can get some silver?" Ye Kai's question caused everyone to look at each other, and after looking at each other, they quietly lowered their heads, even Ye Kai didn't have any good ideas, what ideas could they have.

Ye Kai turned his gaze to Liu Mengeng, the minister of munitions, and discussed: "Lord Liu, according to the previous arrangement, according to the previous arrangement, according to the regular assessment, the teams with excellent results will be awarded military quartermasters, where can you see if there is still some silver left?" ”

"It's not that I won't give it to you, Lord Liang, this money will really be gone if you squeeze it any longer, the food supply you arranged last time, but half a month's ration for the whole army, I really don't have any extra money here." Liu Mengeng said with a collapsed face.

Ye Kai looked at the Minister of Ordnance Han Linchun again, "Lord Han? ”

"Lord Liang, I don't have it here, ordnance has always been a big expense, and the guns and artillery of our Praetorian Guard are damaged quickly, and I have long been stretched thin here."

No money, no money, Ye Kai patted the table helplessly and stood up slowly, "You all have no choice, then I'll figure it out." ”

"Brother Liang, do you have a way?" A group of people met their eyes.

Ye Kai didn't answer, he left his seat backwards, his gaze became cold, "Method?" The way is all thought of by people, I will enter Beijing tomorrow, you can rest assured that there will be silver. ”

After speaking, Ye Kai turned around, and before leaving, he left a sentence, and his tone was no longer a tone of discussion, but a naked order, an order issued as the Minister of Military Training.

"Quartermasters, ordnance, no matter what, both of you must come up with money and allocate rewards to each standard and battalion, and not a single cent will be missing!"
