For officers like Lieutenant Colonel Neville who are willing to cooperate with the "Blackwater" in an all-round way, the "Blackwater" should of course also pay attention to and encourage them. As a result, the best talents were tilted towards Neville's regiment first, for example, in the "Military Advisers", the proportion of military elites who had earned the title of "marksman" within the "Blackwater" and thus had the qualifications to use the MacDonald 1857 precision fire rifle in Neville's regiment was much higher than in other units.

However, Neville's support for "Blackwater" is not unlimited. For example, when Robson proposed the so-called "skirmishing attack" and "trench defense" tactics, Neville finally objected.

"What! You want my soldiers to burrow like rats? How's that going to work? That would make me the laughing stock of the whole army, no, the whole of Europe! No! This is too detrimental to the prestige of the military! While the enemy was in a majestic position, we hid like cowardly rats underground. It's ......."

"Ah, Lieutenant Colonel." Robson tried to put the question from a different angle, "Do you usually hunt?" ”

"Hunting, but what does that have to do with that?" Neville said.

"When you are faced with a dignified wild boar that is not armed and is coming straight at you, are you going to take off your clothes, throw away your firearms, and have a fair and decent battle with that boar?" Robson said with a smile.

"This ...... How is this the same thing? This ......" Lieutenant Colonel Neville was so amused by Robson's nondescript analogy that he could not think of anything to refute for a while.

"How is it not the same thing? Aren't the Austrians who have seized the land of Italy and enslaved the people of Italy beasts? They are worse than the beasts! Why talk to them about gentlemanly manners? Besides, was Mr. Garibaldi dignified when he fought them? Then you sue me, what do you Italians say of Monsieur Garibaldi and his army? Robson didn't wait for Neville to come up with any rebuttal before he stormed up again.

At this moment, Neville really couldn't find a rebuttal for a while. After all, there is an example of Garibaldi, the founder of guerrilla warfare, there. In Italy's First War of Independence, Sardinia was defeated, but Garibaldi and his partisans did a great job, even taking Rome for a time. Yes, Garibaldi rarely fought with his opponents in a dignified manner, but this did not prevent him from winning victory after victory, and the whole of Italy regarded him as a liberator and a national hero.

However, Neville still did not intend to give in, saying: "Of course Mr. Garibaldi is a hero, but his army is only a militia, we are a regular army, how can we ......"

"Regular army? Your record is not as good as that of the militia. Robson scoffed mercilessly.

If it weren't for the old acquaintance, if it wasn't for the fact that he had already known what kind of virtue Robson's mouth was, I was afraid that Neville's feet would not help but jump up and move his fist at Robson.

"We made great sacrifices for the independence of Italy, and in Custoza alone we sacrificed nine thousand people!" Neville retorted. His retort made Robson laugh even more, and the beard on his face was spread one by one.

"I've never seen anyone brag about how many enemies they've destroyed, and this is the first time I've seen someone boast about their achievements! Lieutenant Colonel, this logic of yours is really unprecedented and unprecedented! ”

"I'm not going to talk to you bastard!" Lieutenant Colonel Neville, who couldn't take it anymore, got up and left.

"Lieutenant Colonel, wait, I'm wrong! You know my mouth...... Let's talk about it again! Robson chased after him with a dead face......

Robson was indeed wrong, he thought that there would be no one to show off his own experience with the enemy's achievements, but he didn't know that there was no lower limit to human intelligence, and there was no upper limit to the thickness of human skin. In later generations, there are countless similar arguments. For example: We sacrificed millions of soldiers and nearly 10 million strong men in the Anti-Japanese War (I don't know who killed this), how many people did the turtles die? Therefore, we are the main force to seriously resist Japan, which is like a turtle swimming without attacking! What the? The number of Japanese prisoners of war captured by the turtle is more than four times that of **? I don't know if the prisoners of war captured by ** were all buried alive by Sun Liren of Dongfang Baiqi? What, the US military only died a hundred thousand? This shows all the more that we are the main force in the war against Japan...... Do you still have a conscience? If it weren't for our ** inch of rivers and mountains and blood, 100,000 strong men and 10,000 soldiers who insisted on resisting the war, you would have become #¥%&*%¥#

……

Eventually, Robson managed to convince Lieutenant Colonel Neville. Of course, this was not due to his foul mouth that could make Neville faint, but to a clever plan given to him by Scrooge.

"If Lieutenant Colonel Neville has concerns, then you can sue him, and as long as he supports your work, you can represent the company and hire him as a military research consultant for the company after he retires from service, for the rest of his life, with a monthly salary of four times what he is now. In this way, even if he is defeated, he will not have no way out. If he is worried about the repercussions, the contract can be kept confidential, and in addition, the salary can be paid on a monthly basis from the time the contract is signed, or it can be counted as a loan to the company, and when he needs it, he can be withdrawn in a lump sum with interest, or after he retires, it will be paid to him. ”

This temptation brought Neville down. He looked at the contract, and then at Robson. Then he said viciously:

"You devil! You want to tempt me! ”

"What? Are you going to say no? ”

"Of course not." Lieutenant Colonel Neville said, as he quickly picked up a pen on the table, signed his name on the contract, and when the ink was dry, he carefully put it away as he said, "I mean you and I should be careful to keep it secret." ”

"You're too careful, Lieutenant Colonel. This contract is completely legal. Robson said disapprerovingly.

"Yes, I know that, but I still don't want anyone else to know."

It was not Scrooge's idea to use such a similarly "legal" trick to buy someone else. In fact, this is just a common mode of trading in the market of money and power after the maturity of the capitalist system - money and power futures.

There are two common forms of money and power transactions, one is spot trading, that is, directly using the money in hand to buy the services of power. To put it more plainly, it is to give and accept bribes. This direct transaction model is often too direct, so that many fart people can see the problem at a glance, and shout: "Oppose!" Therefore, this too primitive trading model has always been unpopular with the top leaders of advanced countries (whether it is the top of power or the top of money), so a second, more subtle and cleaner transaction model has emerged. This is the power of money futures. It's implemented in a more subtle way, and many brainwashed people will even see it as a sign of democracy. Because it is the most typical way of implementation, and the most important is the election.

At election time, it is money that invests in power futures. Among the many candidates, the funders pick the one they think has the potential to appreciate in the future, and then fund him to use it for the campaign. Of course, this investment is risky, as the candidate may not be the right candidate. It's like selling futures, when you buy it, you can't be sure if the trade has made a profit. If the candidate you pick is selected, well, your futures investment is considered a success. Since he took your money to run for election, he will naturally repay you when he comes to power. For example, if you are engaged in arms trading, and when he comes to power, he will show his armaments and even go to war to repay you. However, there is a problem here. That is, the money you give to others is only campaign money, and theoretically not a penny will go into the pockets of people with power. The ancients said that "thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth", in this transaction of yours, money buys the right, but the right cannot be sold for money. So this way is still much more incorruptible than the first way, and it is really worthy of the choice of a free and democratic country......

Wait, because the deal isn't finalized yet. When the powerful people are using their power to serve those who are in power, they are also doing a futures trade. When they are still in office, they are naturally very "clean", and when the term expires, it is time for futures to be delivered. At that time, the outgoing president or something will always be able to get a ridiculously high salary "consultant" position in some big company, or some other group organization, and his children and so on, can easily get a very good position in some place where they can make a lot of money without much effort. For example, when President Clinton was in office, he owed tens of millions of dollars in legal fees because of a lawsuit, and when he left office. However, as soon as he got off the stage, he immediately became a "consultant" for several large companies, quite like Su Qin's feeling that he was worthy of the seal of the six countries, and then he was constantly invited by big capital to give speeches, and the appearance fee was as high as millions of dollars, and in less than a year, he paid tens of millions of lawyer fees and earned tens of millions of dollars. But at this time, people are no longer public servants, and working as consultants in large companies is the legitimate right of people, and how much big companies are willing to give him, that is people's freedom. You see, reasonable and legitimate, incomparably incorruptible, the transaction of money and power is complete. This is the advanced mode of money and power trading in advanced countries after the maturity of capitalism, which is fair, open, reasonable, and legal. People with a little conscience and kindness will never see or pretend not to see the catty in this, and as for the low-IQ people, they are naturally deceived and think that there is no money and power trading in our government.

This advanced approach to trading won over Lieutenant Colonel Neville, as well as the commanders of two other regiments armed with MacDonald's 1857 rifles. Thus began a revolution in tactics in the humble kingdom of Sardinia.
