In Cape Town, the town militia armed with flintlock pistols was forming a queue and moving forward at a constant speed, and the shiny bayonet was already stuck in the gun slot, thirty centimeters long, almost a dagger short sword. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the southern district, the most prosperous area of trade, and these uniformed town militia patrol one after another, not only to maintain law and order, but also to suppress the invisible unrest, they are members of the garrison, and they are responsible for similar work, although tedious, but quite important.

After all, in addition to merchants, there are also many people who come to beg for a living in the South District, including scattered mercenaries, drunks with unkind faces, and thieves with eyebrows, carefully watching the speculators around them.

Who knows if this group of guys will take advantage of the chaos to set off a riot from the inside out because of the pirate invasion?

This is a fairly common occurrence in the history of this world, where a group of speculators and craftsmen, including mercenaries, poor people who have nothing, because of the war in their town, where the garrison troops cannot estimate the city, and gather to loot and set fires.

In the original Gray Fog City, after the thieves of the Ketuf River rushed into the outer city walls, the originally honest and humble poor people became a group of murderous thugs, which shows the importance of law and order.

Even, in order to cope with the possible unrest, all the attics of traditional houses, hidden Spanish partisans, are all ready.

The guerrillas with longer barrels and more accurate guns are like snipers, and as long as there is any disturbance, the trigger can accurately hit a person's chest within a range of 100 meters.

They also believed that the long-barreled flintlock pistol in their hands, as well as the slightly smaller bullet, were enough to kill them when they hit them in the chest.

Especially now these town militiamen, in teams of ten, carrying flintlock pistols with bayonets on their shoulders, patrolling, with their uniform movements and serious and cold faces, make those who are ready to move cold on their faces, and dare not have any extra thoughts, lest they leave their lives in this town.

The main one is also to stabilize the hearts of those businessmen.

Although the pirates of Crash Bay do not appear on the island on a large scale on weekdays, every time they appear, they will attack the town, and they will loot and slaughter on a large scale, almost every few years.

And just after the navy of Gray Mist City is assembled, these pirates of Crash Bay will also quickly evacuate, and even if the navy of Gray Mist City is small, these pirate fleets of Crash Bay will take the initiative to provoke and sink several warships of Gray Mist City's navy, which is really quite arrogant.

However, these pirates who relied on Crash Bay have been jointly attacked by the South Tsunah Sea and the North Tsunah Sea for decades, and they have not shown the slightest sign of decline, and even occupy the island as the king, and the development is in a good way, which really makes more businessmen feel terrified.

These merchants are afraid of the pirates in Crash Bay, so they seem to be terrified, for fear that they will continue to trade with Cape Town and cause retaliation from those murderous pirates.

Now, the town militia of Cape Town is not only patrolling, but also flexing their muscles!

This is to tell those merchants that the military strength from Cape Town can completely protect these merchants, so that these merchants can calm down in fear and choose to continue to believe in Cape Town.

However, Levi and Gaskel's pacification methods were obviously somewhat ineffective, at least the merchants in the tavern did not have the previous appearance of being elated because of the booming business, but they all looked serious, sighing one by one, looking very depressed.

The pirates of Crash Bay have a more brutal reputation, if the Ketufu River pirates are just the ulcers of the Great Silver Plate Island, then these pirates are stabbed from the outside world, or the kind stabbed by Mitsubishi!

"It's a nuisance."

Standing on the wall of the southern district, Levi put his hands behind his back, and his face was a little dignified, because the attack of the pirates in Crash Bay was really a little unexpected, but it was also expected.

Merchants are profit-seeking, but they are definitely not stupid, and they will not leave their lives in Cape Town, in this town that has torn their faces with the pirates of Crash Bay, and in the next crisis-ridden town, they all cherish their lives, which is also a huge fortune!

If you don't have a life, how can you make more money?

Unless there is something beyond their lives that makes them rush to it, they don't care about the price of death, but also chase the irresistible interests.

But obviously, the current Cape Town does not have such interests, so it is impossible for these merchants to put everything on this Cape Town, and it is even more impossible to stay here and wait for the crazy and cruel revenge of the Crash Bay pirates!

"There are already a lot of businessmen ready to leave."

Green hurried over to the side, followed by Chancellor of the Exchequer Saul, with a gloomy face, looking at Levi standing there, he also walked over, and reported softly: "Many merchants have begun to deal with their goods. ”

"Sell them all at a low price, or even lose money." Green also nodded heavily, adding: "Even caused the current market order, and with the precursors of collapse, everyone began to tentatively contact our municipal personnel to ask if they would receive some of the necessary supplies. ”

"Receive, why not?"

Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could think of the panic of these merchants who were eager to dispose of their goods and avoid losing money. couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "But you have to keep the price down." ”

"Understood." Thor is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in charge of all trade and taxes in Cape Town, and when he heard Levi's words, he also nodded: "All the goods purchased by these merchants at a lower price, judging from our reserves, it is not easy, of course, it is not difficult, but the consequence is that these merchants will completely flee our town." ”

"Even if we don't buy, won't they leave?"

Levi snorted coldly, businessmen are always chasing profits, and since Cape Town can't let them get benefits, then they will leave, and it's a big deal to go to another place to deal with it.

It's all rotten in your hands, but it loses even more money, even if you lose a little money, it's much better than losing your capital completely, not to mention that Gray Mist City and Bal Town, as well as the old Silver City on Xiaoyinpan Island, are not far from their Cape Town, as long as they sell at a low price, they are not afraid of not finding a buyer at all!

"I'll deal with it."

Thor nodded, and turned away from the city walls, the current situation in Cape Town is more complicated, especially the group of merchants are selling goods on a large scale, and he needs to deal with it himself.

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Cape Town, Saul is still quite conscientious. Green couldn't help frowning, "These merchants will come back, as long as we win this war." ”

"That's true."

Levi also agreed with this, but he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the merchants and sailors walking hurriedly in Cape Town in front of him, and said to Green next to him: "The undead plane must be solved quickly, and then the problem of pirates in Crash Bay must be put on the agenda as soon as possible." ”

By preemptively solving the threat of the undead plane and obtaining a large number of points, Levi will be able to directly upgrade the system and enter the second stage, not to mention the ordinary Shipwreck Bay pirates, even if it is the North Roaring Sea, he has the final say!

After the system is upgraded, Li Wei absolutely believes that the arms of his army and navy will be upgraded to a higher level.

And it is this grade that determines the direction of future wars, whether it is the navy or the army, the qualitatively changed arms are definitely not the current in the previous life, only used as a militia to make up the number of troops, can be compared!

For example, the private of the army, but the backbone of the infantry, compared to the urban militia, these improvised patchwork troops, whether it is shooting or morale, or hand-to-hand combat ability, it is not just a little bit stronger, and there is even a real volley of guns, as well as the tactics of rotation of guns, the density of firepower and persistence, quite powerful!

The 12-pounder infantry guns, 3-pounder cavalry guns, and 12-pounder infantry howitzers in the artillery fill the current artillery in Cape Town, which are all fixed-deployment old artillery guns, which have the advantage of being able to move and deploy quickly.

Even the cavalry regiments that appeared, the real cuirassiers, were the real cavalry, capable of cutting into the enemy's array and using their sabers to cut a path of flesh and blood!

"It is expected that in three days, our troops will be assembled."

Green nodded, and also said: "At present, we can't rush to mobilize troops, we must ensure the safety of all key points before we can mobilize the main force to enter the undead plane to fight." ”

Levi also understands that at present, Cape Town can be described as surrounded by enemies, once the troops are transferred out of the garrison area, it is estimated that when the time comes, it will be impossible to resist in the event of a sudden attack, which is really a bit ugly, and he doesn't want to be suddenly stabbed in the back when he fights with the undead plane.

"Regarding the issue of the troops, I will find a way."

Exhaling slowly, Levi's expression was also quite solemn, and he turned his head to Green and said, "Tell Wilmot that by tomorrow morning at the latest, assemble the troops that can be assembled at present, and don't worry about the number." ”

After a pause, Levi also glanced at the energy value in his mind and gritted his teeth, after all, there are still about 40,000 energy values, if Levi really invests in blood and doesn't care about the logistics supply, then now his 40,000 energy points, it is not impossible to recruit enough troops to occupy the entire Great Silver Plate Island!

But it is easy to recruit, but it is quite difficult to maintain, after all, these living soldiers also need daily food, but also need rest, eating and sleeping are necessary.

If the war is stalemate, or the entire Dayinpan Island is destroyed, it is estimated that the troops recruited by then will become his burden, and there is no sufficient logistics support, even if he is disbanded on the spot and becomes a civilian, it will be a mouth to eat, without output and supplies, there is still nothing to do.
