Chapter 198. Quarrels in the conference room
When Levi woke up, the sky had completely darkened, and he turned his head to look out the window in a daze, as the sea breeze blew open the white gauze-like curtains in the cracks, and the stars in the deep and intoxicating night were also very bright. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lifting the blanket covering his body, Levi slowly supported himself and sat up, the soreness in his waist after a sufficient amount of time to rest, now he also feels good, stretched his waist fiercely, with the sound of rattling bones, he reached out and took a sip of water beside the bed and drank it, which also smoothed the dryness in his throat.
The light of the stars and moon outside the curtain shone in, and Levi walked barefoot on the blanket in shorts, came to the balcony next to the bed, and directly opened the white gauze-like curtain, which came with a soft white pavement, which made Levi squint slightly.
"The moon shines brightly today."
Looking up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Levi's tongue slowly licked his dry lips, and looked down at the citizens around him who had already rested, and a dialog box composed of data streams also appeared in the retina, listing the prompts that the standby of the system has ended and can be continued at any time.
With the thought, in Levi's mind, the interface of the system was also re-projected on the retina, not much different from before, and there were also two building cards side by side in the void, flashing with a faint golden light, and it seemed to be waiting for Levi's call.
These are two buildings, the "Small Sugar Plantation" and the "Homesteader Farm", the first of which is a standard cash crop that produces high-quality sugar and is loved by any class. The second is the common wheat, which is indispensable for making all kinds of sweet and delicious bread, and belongs to the basic and indispensable architecture.
But what made Levi more concerned was the third option, the [Town Militia] option that should have appeared.
He had the impression that when this card first appeared, it was dispersed into golden light and disappeared in the moment of successful condensation, and if Levi was not mistaken, this option was not at all a separately summoned class like the Barbary Pirates and the 12-pounder Bronze Falcon Cannon.
It's a newly added option to recruit troops on the recruitment interface, which is an option that allows you to recruit and form troops as long as you have energy, as long as you have population and extra citizens!
Directly open the [Recruitment] option, there was originally only one [Spearman] can recruit the army option, and now there is an additional [Town Militia] option in the back, the image of the soldier wearing a light orange standard military uniform and carrying a flintlock pistol on his shoulder does not make the corner of Levi's mouth bring a smile: "Sure enough." ā
"Town Militia (Recruitment Cost: 300 points): The Town Militia is used to protect local security, not to fight on enemy soil. Their status is slightly inferior to that of the regular troops, but their tactical composition is exactly the same as that of non-commissioned officers, except perhaps that the regular troops train all day. As a result, the town militias possessed a certain combat prowess, especially in suppressing local rebellions. ā
"Historically, militia units were usually part-time units, and soldiers had other official jobs on weekdays. In formal countries, for example, many people are willing to join town militias as a sign of patriotism without fear of being sent overseas to serve. For savvy army generals, militia units mean saving money on military costs, being able to put them to good use in official battles, and not delaying the development of towns on weekdays. ā
Levi looked at the dialog box on the retina, the appearance of the town militia was indeed a surprise, especially in terms of the embarrassing number of city guards in Cape Town now, which was completely guarded by those sailors, and it was simply a misfitting shoe.
After many battles, Levi had also found that his Spanish sailors, although they could barely form a line with flintlock pistols, were slightly worse than the Marine Corps that had really been trained and had been trained for many years based on line tactics, which could be felt.
Because the way of fighting on the sea is basically to form a battle column to bombard with artillery, and fire a salvo with muskets at close range, or these sailors directly rush up in a swarm and engage in hand-to-hand combat on the deck of the enemy's battleship.
As a result, the Spanish sailors preferred to fight alone and small-scale tactical cooperation, and once faced with a large-scale army group like an army, they would be quite uncomfortable, and this situation did occur when fighting the main force of the invading Ketuv River pirates, but they were only suppressed by the advantages of advanced tactics and weapons.
At that time, the crooked line was also a little reluctant to fire and fire at the pirates, and the training of the sailors in the barracks was only basic tactical training, and the training of the line salvo should be finally perfected by years of training.
The emergence of the town militia now undoubtedly fills this vacancy, and although it is a part-time militia organization after the citizens have been armed and trained, they can also be used as a regular army when the personnel on the frontal battlefield are insufficient.
Even in the hands of famous generals, the gap between these town militias and the real regular army may be the gap between training and morale, after a few battles, even the town militia can eventually grow into line infantry with high morale and strong combat ability, and there are many excellent people selected from the militia in history to enter the practice of entering the privates.
Even in the game, the town militia is in the hands of the player, as long as it is operated well, it can be used as the main force, and even in the early days, when there were no privates, these town militias were also used as the main force to fight the enemy, and they were also powerful with artillery!
What's more, in this medieval world, even if the town militia is a militia, it is not comparable to those guys who are armed with cold weapons and temporarily drawn out to form troops!
The gap between the times has made the two sides disproportionate, at least according to Gray Mist City, the most powerful city on the Great Silver Plate Island, if there were no spellcasters who controlled the mysterious power, and knights with strong fighting spirit, maybe the two sides would have been very asymmetrical, or even not compare at all.
Think about the earth, the Inca empire in North America, in the hands of the medieval army that had just mastered firearms, had already experienced a crushing defeat, not to mention this complete medieval era, and even dwarven muskets similar to firearms were not popularized?
The town militia was enough to deal with the conventional enemy, at least against the group of thieves on the Ketuf River, and Li Wei really no longer worried, because the town militia, which had thoroughly mastered most of the army tactics, had absolute confidence in this kind of rabble that even the medieval army could not deal with.
"Dangdangdang."
While thinking about it, there was a slow knock on the bedroom door, and just outside, the loyal chief of the sheriff's mansion also put down his hand and slowly opened his mouth and asked softly outside: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you are awake?" ā
"Wake up." Exhaling a breath, Levi also twisted his neck, which was still stiff from sleep, to let his body quickly stretch out, and at the same time watched his old servant lift the dinner plate and put it on the table next to him, he also shook his head and asked, "Won't you all finish dinner?" ā
"Yes, it's past dinner time."
The old servant thoughtfully took out the dinner on the tray, including the fluffy little dessert specially made by the chef, and the high-quality malt wine purchased from Gray Mist City, and then looked at Levi and bowed his head slightly apologetically: "I saw that you were sleeping soundly at the time, and you have been busy recently, so I didn't wake you up, I hope it won't be strange." ā
Levi touched his nose in embarrassment, walked over and picked up a dessert and chewed it in his mouth, shrugged helplessly and diverted the topic: "How is the construction of Cape Town, has Green arranged it?" ā
"Well, Mr. Green, they're waiting for you in the conference room."
The old servant also seemed to remember something, coughed lightly, and whispered to Levi: "Today, Mr. Green and Mr. Sol went to Gray Mist City, and it seems that they brought some news, and summoned other distinguished gentlemen to a meeting in the conference room, and it has lasted nearly two hours since they came back in the evening. ā
"Two hours?"
Levi turned his head to look at the time of eight o'clock, and his face was also a little puzzled, which showed that the meeting was going on around six o'clock, and the two-hour meeting was still being discussed, which was definitely not Green's style.
After all, Green has been with Levi for two years, or it can be said that he has assisted Levi for two years, and in his impression, he, the chief minister, can directly make the final decision, after all, in terms of qualifications and ability, Green is also a convincing person, how can it be that the meeting has lasted for two hours, and he is still waiting for his final verdict?
"Something's wrong." Levi frowned, immediately pinched a piece of bread on the plate and stuffed it in his mouth, put on his clothes and walked quickly towards the consulate on the first floor.
Walking quickly to the conference room, before Li Wei pushed open the door, he heard the voices of each speaker inside, one after another rebuttals and debates, paused slightly, he didn't notice that his ministers were in a mess, stretched out his hand to push open the door, looked at the five ministers with solemn faces inside, and frowned slightly: "Gentlemen, what's the matter?" ā
