Chapter 150: Promotion in the Line of Fire

"Marshal, General Higg!" Andrew, Gampoch, and Kolincha came together, followed by a Simak!

Montgosa wondered, "General Simak, I didn't call you here?" ”

Simak smiled: "Marshal, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm drinking with the three commanders, and I haven't had a good time!" I heard that the marshal is going to invite the three commanders to drink, so of course I have to come and reason with the marshal?

Montgosa said angrily: "How dare you drink in the barracks without permission and ignore my military regulations? ”

Simak Zhengse said: "Lord Marshal, what mistake did a few of us make, and you want to let a few of us be idle?" Where were your military regulations when you took me off from the forward general? Everyone else can lead troops to fight or train, but what can we do besides drinking? ”

"Since you're here, what are you talking about!" Montgosa grimaced his face and said, "It's not me who invited you to drink, it's General Higg and Miss Blue Fairy!" ”

"That's even more wrong!" Simak said dissatisfiedly, "General Higg, Miss Lan Xian'er, what do you mean that we have also gone deep behind enemy lines together, fought together, and ate in the same pot, do you invite them to drink and call me?" ”

"General Simak, if you don't drink it, I'll drink your share!" Andrew is also an alcoholic, he has already opened the wine jar and drank, and when he sees good wine, he doesn't care what others say!

"What wine is so fragrant?" Several other people came to the table at the same time.

"Let you come today, that is, to talk about your appointment!" Montgoser said, "General Higg, what do you think is the right position for them?" ”

"Your Excellency Marshal already knows it in his heart, so why bother asking me!" Higg smiled, "Lord Marshal, you don't need to sell me this favor, these people have been following you for more than a year, and you know their abilities better than me!" ”

"I don't want any official position, just let me be a guard next to General Higg!" Gampoch said.

"Me too!" Corincha also said.

"General Higg is my staff officer of the Chinese army, and he is by my side at any time, what do you want the guards to do?" Montgosa said, "The three of you have been promoted to generals, Andrew is the lieutenant general of the Wizards' Regiment, Gampoch is the lieutenant general of the left flank of the central army, leading 20,000 infantry, and Colin Cha is the general of the left flank and leading 10,000 crossbowmen!" ”

"This?" Higg and everyone were taken aback, "Marshal, isn't this too fast!" Not quite right, right? ”

"What's this fast?" Simak said, "General Higg, I hope you can understand the hard work of the marshal!" ”

How could Higg not understand? In front of himself, Montgosa installed these cronies who were desperately following him to various important positions and official positions, that is, he gradually handed over the command and semi-command of the Fifth Army to his own hands!

"It's wartime!" Montgoser said, "I've done a lot of things like this, didn't you also promote that teenage Thomas to the line of fire?" I am old, and I may fall one day, or His Majesty will let me retire and be reappointed as a marshal, or I will die in battle one day! For more than 20 years, although I sat dirty in the position of marshal of the Fifth Army Corps, I won the title of Marshal of Cotton, but after all, I have paid more than 20 years of hard work here, I don't want my hard work to fall into the hands of incompetents, you are the future of the Fifth Legion! ”

"Is the marshal worried that His Majesty will retake the Fifth Legion?" Higg asked, "The marshal has been overly concerned, and Catherine is not so confused about such a thing as changing commanders in battle!" Hmph, if that's the case, what will be lost at that time is the strength of the entire Qinwang Army! The Marshal, despite the difficulties of the Fifth Legion, still insisted on being in the midst of King Qin, what reason did Catherine have to replace you, the loyal Marshal? ”

Montgosa said: "Not now, but if our Fifth Army succeeds in countering the blockade and clearing the surrounding area, even if Your Majesty has the intention to use me, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will have to do their best to pick the fruit!" With the lessons of Marshal Michael, I had to prepare first, otherwise, it would be a river of blood again! ”

Everyone pondered, this Montgosa, known as the cotton marshal, seems to be soft, but in fact, there is a needle hidden in the cotton, the Fifth Army has been able to survive in adversity so far, and this cotton marshal has made great contributions!

"General Simak, you are also an old man of half of the Fifth Legion, you don't want to be a forward general anymore, return to my Chinese army, and my 30,000 guards battalion will be handed over to you!" Montgosa said, "If General Habaiza, who is stationed in the fortress of Kuba, can be used, I will not revoke it for now, if it is not suitable, General Hig, you recommend someone to choose me!" ”

"Although General Habaisa is obsessed with officials and snobbish, he is definitely not a person without vision!" Higg said, "The location of the Kuba fortress is very important, and if the marshal easily changes the generals, I am afraid it will be suspicious!" ”

"Okay, that's all you can do for the time being!" Montgosa said with a smile, "Although I have the right to appoint before the battle, the Fifth Legion is the army of the Empire after all, and I can't act rashly in other positions for the time being!" As a last resort, I won't change any other important position! Oh, it's a pity for that paladin, General Johnson! ”

Higg was about to speak, Montgoser waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain, I'm glad you have such subordinates, and I think a few of them here here will be as loyal as General Johnson!" I don't blame General Johnson, and I don't blame you, in extraordinary times, thousands of injuries and illnesses, with it is death, and if you don't carry it, it is also death, and with it, it drags down the whole army. You didn't hide this from me, and I'm already very relieved! ”

Montgosa took a sip of his wine and continued, "Tomorrow I will convene a military council to make a formal appointment!" General Higg, you don't have to worry about the pre-war deployment for the time being, since you and Lan Xian'er have a way to get supplies from the smugglers, you will do this matter, and you don't have to hand over the money to me. After tomorrow's meeting, the two of you will immediately go to the Kuba Fortress to do logistics work for a month or two first, and get as many supplies and military rations as possible, which is the key to our victory in the anti-blockade! ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

……

After the meeting the next morning, Hig and Lan Xian'er hurried to the Kuba fortress in the afternoon and met General Habaiza who was stationed at the Kuba fortress! Hig and Blue Fairy explained their intentions, and Habaisa was very cooperative, although he was puzzled about how Hig and Blue Fairy could get supplies and food when they came empty-handed, but this was not something he had to care about!

In the evening, instead of staying at the Koopa Fortress, Higg and Blue Fairy returned to their own residence in Saffo Town, the ruined mosque!

When he arrived in the town of Savie, Hig did not stop, knocked on the door of a workshop overnight, and asked them to make dozens of gold worship stickers and a gold plaque of the Fuxing Trading House overnight.

Early the next morning, Higg bought the largest merchant shop in Saffle Town at twice the market price, hired more than thirty thugs and servants from the Thieves' Guild, and hung a plaque for the Revival Firm. Dozens of wagons and more than a hundred camels prepared by Habaisa for Hig also drove into the town of Saffo and stopped at the gate of the Fuxing Trading House.

Then, Higg hired the carriages of the Thieves and Thieves' Guild to send a message to the representatives of the merchants stationed in the town of Lincher in the barbarian country and the town of Dante in the water kingdom, and asked the carriage to be waiting at any time, and the special car would pick them up, and in the afternoon they would go to the Revival Merchant House to discuss the big deal.

Then he ordered people to collect and purchase all kinds of high-quality fruits and snacks, and Lan Xian'er also took out Baixian fruit wine.

The extravagant pomp and temptation of big deals certainly make all the exotic merchants excited, but most of them come with the attitude of taking a look first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are my requirements and conditions, if you are willing to cooperate, we can talk about it at any time!" Sigg didn't have much nonsense, and directly threw the conditions he had negotiated with Blue Fairy and Montgoser to those merchants, and in the face of huge interests, he was not worried that these merchants would not be moved.

"Mr. Angela!" A merchant representative from a barbarian country asked, "You said that there was a serious flood in Ahasia, but as far as I know, the flood was last spring, why are you in a hurry to buy relief food now?" You need other supplies, but they're clearly military, and we're going to take a big risk! ”

"Yes, it's okay to talk about food, but a lot of things are contraband!" Many merchants chimed in.

"I will receive twice the price of grain, and three times the price of the rest!" Higg exclaimed, "You don't want to think about it, if I wasn't in a hurry to use it, and there were some contraband, why should I give you these prices?" Food is indeed used for the resettlement of the victims, and now that the victims have returned to their hometowns, we must do a good job of reassuring them. As for those contraband, you are all in business, if I collect your grain at a loss, and don't risk doing some other smuggling business, although my business firm is big, I will not be stupid enough to do a loss-making business! ”

"I think I'm still going to forget it, if there is money to make and nothing to spend, I still don't want to do it!"

"I also think that this is pure military smuggling, and I don't need to make this kind of money that wants to lose my head!"

"Although the price is good, this is too risky!"

……

Everyone basically shook their heads, left their seats one after another, said goodbye, and after a while, they all dispersed like birds and beasts.

Higg and Blue Fairy smiled at each other and ordered someone to clean up the venue.

"Higg, tomorrow you're going to really deal with those profiteers!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "I don't like to see the faces of these people, so I plan to go to Swan Lake to rest for a while!" I think you'd better drop some people from Fuxing City, and you still need help! ”

"Are you so sure that tomorrow those merchants will come to me for a secret negotiation?" Higg wondered.

Lan Xian'er smiled: "I can't guarantee that everyone will turn back, but at least half of them will talk to you, as for whether they will do it in the end, it is not necessarily." How can it be so simple and easy to talk about business, it can be negotiated in one or two clicks, the key is to talk about words! ”

"Why do I think it's appropriate for you to stay and talk?" Higg laughed, "You seem to be very business-minded!" ”

"Let's get used to it!" Lan Xian'er said, "If you don't want to talk, then just go to that condition, do it or not, and let them decide for themselves." Now you have to take the initiative into your own hands and make them feel that you can do it or not, but if they don't, they will definitely lose a lot of opportunities! ”

"Hehe, that's my style of fighting!" Higg smiled, "Whatever you talk about, you can fight if you want to!" ”
