Chapter 207: Conscription Begins

A few days later, after a series of propaganda by Zhang Tie and Song Hu, Europeans throughout Manhattan learned about the Empire's conscription.

Because this conscription is aimed at Europeans living in the Manhattan area, these Europeans are very concerned about it.

The salary of twelve Da Longyang silver coins a month, and the salary of thirty or forty yuan of Shangdihai silver coins is almost the top, which can definitely make people crazy.

You must know that those soldiers in the area of the earth and sea now only have a salary of five or six silver coins a month, which is almost two big dragon oceans.

And they don't necessarily pay it on time every month, which is already the norm in European countries along the Earth's sea.

But the soldiers here in Manhattan are different, they pay their salaries on time every month, not to mention some benefits.

This makes a lot of Europeans here very angry.

It's a pity that the Empire didn't bother to recruit European warriors at all, which made many people very disappointed.

But now the empire has changed its policy and started recruiting Europeans as warriors. However, the number of people is a little small, and the quota is only a thousand people.

It can be seen how fierce this competition is.

However, for the sake of such a high salary, and for the sake of being able to become an imperial citizen after three years in the army. The conscription attracted a lot of Europeans, and they were all waiting for the conscription to begin.

Basically, after Parma opened the banner for conscription, many European families would hear a voice like this: "I heard that there is a conscription today. If you want me to say that being a soldier here pays well, why don't you give it a try. ”

These are all the words of their wives to their husbands, and the husbands nod their heads incessantly, and then begin to prepare.

The reason why these wives let their husbands go to the draft is not because they are ignorant of the dangers they face as soldiers, but because this kind of thing is the same in Europe.

Besides, people give so many salaries, and it is really people who die for money and birds die for food.

Moreover, after three years of being a soldier and becoming a citizen of the empire, the families of these Europeans could enjoy various civic benefits, and even their own children could go to school.

You must know that Lu Dao is not a child of a citizen family. It is impossible to learn knowledge at the Manhattan School.

Nowadays, there is propaganda in Manhattan every day, and the slogan that knowledge changes destiny is heard every day by these European families living in Manhattan. Over time, they will figure it out for themselves, and feel that the truth in this is very correct.

Yes, knowledge changes fate.

But the problem is that many of them do not have imperial citizenship, and it is impossible for their children to go to school.

Therefore, how can they as parents not work hard for the future of their children.

The cāo heart that parents have for their children. It is the same in this era and in the future, there is not much difference.

Many Europeans left their homes in a hurry. Walk towards the place where the conscription is enlisted.

Parma was not at all worried that he would not be able to recruit soldiers, and as a European he knew all too well what he thought of his fellow citizens.

These people even dreamed of becoming soldiers of the Empire, for the salary of twelve dragons a month.

For the sake of money, these guys don't care if it's dangerous or not.

As long as you have money, everything is easy to say with a monthly salary.

Otherwise, look at the European continent, there are so many people who are mercenaries for what to do.

This is not without reason.

In Europe, it is better to die in war than to starve.

Besides, as a soldier for the empire, not to mention the salary paid on time. There are also countless invisible benefits.

It's much more tempting than being a soldier on the European side.

At the same time, most of the Europeans living here in Manhattan have served as soldiers in Europe. They weren't the kind of people who hadn't seen blood, so these people couldn't be better as soldiers.

Basically, these people can go into battle without training them too much.

When many people came to the port and terminal recruitment, they found that many people had already arrived before them.

At this time. The front of the recruiting office was already crowded and lively.

"Everyone line up, don't mess up." , where Parma sits. Shouted loudly.

Europeans who live here in Manhattan know who Palma is and who is behind him.

Therefore, many people have a flattering smile on their faces when they see Parma. Although they will complain about Parma behind their backs, it always doesn't hurt to pat the horse's ass at this time.

It's a pity that these people are all sticking hot faces to cold butts, and Parma doesn't pay attention to these guys at all.

Think about it, what is Parma's identity now, but he is the slave of the great nobles. is already rich and handsome, so he doesn't have to pay attention to these ** silk compatriots at all.

"You are qualified, you can take the retest."

Glancing at the conscripts in front of him, Parma took out a piece of paper and handed it to him with a wooden stamp.

This conscript, tall and powerful, looks like a good seedling for a soldier. Such a person must not be let go, and Parma immediately gave him a qualification form for the retest.

Parma's conscription is not for everyone, he has to choose carefully and choose the people he has trained.

This is also what Zhang Tie and Song Hu specially explained.

As for Parma, he also hopes that the legionnaires he can lead in the future are all very fierce.

Therefore, when he chooses his own soldiers, he becomes more picky.

The old and weak guys were vetoed by Parma and let them get out of here.

Parma looked at the old men in their seventies and eighties, and when they all had to come to apply, he really couldn't complain about them.

Isn't it a joke that you say that you are so old, why do you have to apply?

These people. Parma definitely won't want it.

I was a soldier, I used to be a soldier in the Spanish 8th Infantry Regiment, and I think you need me.

Okay, okay, we're not a pension facility here, how old are you this year.

I...... Seventy-two years old.

I'm seventy-two years old, so I'm going to go.

Sir, can you see me?

What about your left leg?

……

Dialogues such as these are constantly taking place between Parma and the conscripts.

There are no longer a few such strange applicants, but they are by no means the majority. Many of the applicants are still young and strong.

And the corps staffing of Parma. It is also slowly growing, and qualified fighters are constantly starting to participate in the retest.

The legion of a thousand people is not too much, to be honest.

But this is placed in Europe, which can be regarded as a relatively large army.

You must know that after leaving a war of more than 10,000 people, it can be regarded as a big war.

Although it was winter, a simple military camp was built on the western outskirts of Manhattan.

This is the temporary residence of Parma's legions, where they are to train for a short time. and a series of brainwashing education.

Then, wait until the war between the Iroquois and the French broke out. Parma: They can march.

After the conscription was completed, Zhang Tie and Song Hu both went to the barracks to inspect it.

The quality of the soldiers in this era is still okay, especially those Europeans who have big shoulders and round waists, and if they have absolutely no physical fitness.

This army of 1,000 men had 100 sharpshooters, 200 archers, 200 two-handed swordsmen, and 500 spearmen. And each person's body is equipped with a pair of half-body armor, which can be said to have greatly improved their defense.

At the same time, in order to control the ideological dynamics of these people. Zhang Tie also sent twenty genetic people to be political commissars.

What they had to do was very simple, they had to talk to the soldiers, and at night they would stuff the quilt while they were sleeping.

If the soldier said that there was a problem at home, the political commissars would report it, and then Song Hu's military department would solve the problem for the soldier.

After solving the difficulties, those intelligence officers will intentionally or unintentionally target the families of the people being helped. Go to the barracks to visit the soldier and tell the story in public.

To do good deeds is to let everyone know the Tao, Lei Feng still has to write rì remember, right?

Although Song Hu's methods are a little dirty, the effect is definitely not ordinarily good.

These conscripted Europeans, that really moved them to die immediately without blinking.

Man. Isn't it just a matter of respect?

The military department of the empire was full of human touch, which they had never experienced before.

Although the political commissars were very strict during the training, the actions of their ward rounds at night were all seen and felt by the soldiers.

The whole legion, according to the words of the commissar, was their second family.

And they are all brothers who can rely on each other on the battlefield, and they are the kind of comrades who can safely hand over their backs to each other.

Everything is something that these Europeans have never experienced, and they have not felt.

However, they liked everything about it and liked the atmosphere inside the legion.

Especially those soldiers who had difficulties at home and were quietly solved by the political commissar and the military department.

They are even more aware of the centripetal force of the Legion against the Empire.

"Hehe, this little bit of means is all left over from our old-timers, and now it's not easy to use it against these less knowledgeable Europeans."

After listening to the intelligence officer's report, Wang Hu turned his head and smiled at Zhang Tie and said.

At this time, Zhang Tie came to find Wang Shan, and happened to run into intelligence officers who were reporting information about Parma and this legion.

Zhang Tie smiled when he heard this: "The effect is good, I heard that the soldiers of this corps have developed a sense of honor for the corps, and their loyalty to the empire is already very high." So I think for some families in need, our help should continue, not necessarily to give money, but we have to take good care of it, at least as it is now. ”

Song Hu nodded, he agreed very much with Zhang Tie's proposal.
