Chapter 345: Keep your distance from her
On the second day after his return to Lorraine, Charles issued several successive orders in the name of the commander of the Lorraine Legion to speed up the process of forming the legion.
Charles originally used the "Awakening Extraordinary Opportunity" as a reward, and asked his knights to form an infantry battalion based on their abilities, and in a short period of time, they pulled up a standing army of 5,000 people in ten battalions, and those backward vassal nobles were all looking forward to sighing, regretting that they had missed this rare opportunity in ten years.
So this time Charles announced that the number of troops in the Lorraine Legion would be doubled to 10,000, and those small nobles and knights who had not been awakened a few months ago rushed out of the military camp in Nancy City one after another.
This time they won't stupidly go to the territory of Wen Ze, Cronin and others to rob people, the first few times they swarmed to rob people, but a few treacherous guys directly pulled the family's private army over, and the transformation made up enough of a battalion and got the precious awakening inheritance, this time the opportunity is still ten, and there are more than twenty noble knights left who have not awakened!
Moreover, the Marquis' Mansion also put forward many new measures for this conscription, which made it much less difficult for everyone to recruit soldiers.
First of all, the treatment of military personnel has been improved, a farmer has passed the training and becomes a soldier, his family will get a small piece of land for tax-free cultivation, plus a "labor subsidy", this labor does not belong to the family property of the military family, let alone servants and slaves, but they can help the military family to farm, mine, repair houses, etc., it sounds like a relationship between hire and employment.
These workers are allowed to work for the "employer" for ten hours a day, but the employer must provide room and board, and the cost of food is deducted from the annual tax payment of the military family, which means that the military family pays much less tax than the average family.
As soon as this "subsidy" measure was promulgated, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the Lorraine Legion, and those soldiers who had thought they had been "forcibly recruited" two months ago ran to their counselors to ask if it was true.
And when the counselors of each battalion assured them that it was all true, the soldiers cheered with joy, not only for the tax free land, but for the treatment that was different from other families was the thing they were most proud of.
The allure of class differences is everywhere, and differences between people are the root of human ambition.
"Counselor" was the "first" position of Charles in the Lorraine Legion, and its source was naturally based on the successful experience of previous lives, whether it was a counselor in the university or an instructor in the army, it proved to be an effective means of grassroots administration.
Charles demanded that there should be at least five counselors in each battalion of the Lorraine Legion, and that one hundred men would be assigned to them, and that they would not be in charge of the battle command, but would write regular letters to the soldiers, convey the latest instructions of the commander, and reconcile the difficulties and disputes encountered in the lives of the soldiers.
What's more, all counsellors will have at least two meetings a month, and the chair will be either Charles or Olive in charge.
At the meeting, the counselor can report the "bad phenomena" in the army, and make suggestions and applications for the difficulties and deficiencies in the army, which greatly strengthens the control of the charr at the bottom of the army, and at the same time restricts the dictatorship of the military commanders in the army, and also makes some bad habits in the army completely disappear.
The appearance of the counselor caught Duke Clayton, the deputy head of the Lorraine Legion, off guard, and made the royal liaison officer Little Fat Boyle wonder, and Miss Linal, the intelligence boss of the Kingdom of Prussia, admired Charles's methods even more.
"I didn't expect you to be such a sinister fellow, not only playing tricks on me, but also being so cunning against your majesty. ”
Charles squinted his eyes, took the barrel of a gun and examined it carefully, and said with a salty mouth: "Don't you know what you are? ”
Hearing Charles's foul words, Linar said with an unhappy face: "Don't you think that your current behavior is not in line with the status of a noble gentleman?"
Charles threw the rifled barrel in his hand onto the workbench, turned to look at Linaer, and teased with a little ruffian: "If I treat you as a lady, then I will be stupid, you are smarter than those men, fierce, and ruthless, and you are born with a heroic bearing, do you know, too smart and too capable women are a man's nightmare, and in the end they will be lonely for the rest of their lives." ”
"I don't think so, my mother is just smart and capable, but she and my father are very affectionate. ”
Charles put away a set of butts, installed the rifled barrel, and said casually: "That's your Uncle Stefan, he's afraid of being beaten!"
"Impossible!" Linar said with a huff.
"If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Adele if she has threatened Uncle Stefan with force over the years!"
“.........”
Actually, I heard a philosopher say that beating is kissing and scolding is love, and if you don't beat or scold, break up quickly!"
“.........”
Linar was speechless for a moment, and then her eyes slowly changed, a little confused, a little confused, and a little annoyed.
She really wanted to beat up Charles right now.
"Click!"
Charles put the last small crosshair on the new rifle, which was a particular improvement for him, and the flintlock muskets now in vogue on the mainland basically did not have standard mechanical sights, either without a crosshair, or crooked or not at all.
"Do you want to make a shot?"
Charles handed over the new rifle and asked Linar to try it out.
"I'm not going to hit a shot!"
Linar gave Charles a slight sneer, and reached out to take the rifle.
Charles avoided Linar's eyes without a trace, her pink eyes were too magical, and if she wasn't careful, she would be confused for a while, and she had to be very energetic and keep her distance as much as possible.
"Bang!"
Smoke rose from the target fifty meters away, and Charles and Linar had good eyesight, and they could clearly see that it was a ten-ring.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Linar shot for half a day in a row, and the more she shot, the more energetic she became, and the farther she shot was, the more accurate she became.
Linar picked up a conical bullet made of lead, looked at the small depression at the bottom of the bullet body, frowned and asked, "Why is this bullet so much thinner than the chamber of the gun?"
"If the warhead is about the same caliber as the rifle, it is difficult to fit in, so I designed this conical warhead, when fired by heat, the warhead will expand and thicken, so that there is a chance to rub tightly between the rifle and the rifle without leaking the gap, plus the bullet is smeared with a layer of oil, it is very powerful when shooting......."
Charles's detailed explanation made Linar suddenly realize, and she continued to ask with a twinkle in her eyes: "How did you come up with the idea of a conical projectile? Is it the result of Uncle Bourman's research? As allies, I think we should secretly study these secret knowledge together!"
"Hehehe! This is a secret of our family, and it will not be passed on. ”
Charles turned his head and politely rejected Linal's temptation, men often can't control a certain part of their body, if Linar is allowed to get too close to him, he doesn't know what will happen!
