Chapter Ninety-Four: The Sweep Begins
Locke's rhetoric once again raised the pattern of Hiss and convinced him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, these are all foreshadowing, Locke came to Heath for another purpose, that is, to ask for money!
Yes, that's right, it's a naked request for money!
Although Hiss has been bleeding heavily during this time and has spent a lot of money on the Senna army, according to Locke's estimate, if he really wants to squeeze him, he will be able to squeeze at least 100,000 gold coins.
Although 100,000 gold coins is not a large amount for the current Locke, it is a number that can save the emergency.
100,000 gold coins is 500,000 military value, plus his own more than 600,000, he can have more than 1 million, and then he can prepare to start equipping the first division with assault rifles, and then let them go to the surrounding counties to sweep and beat, and see if they can get more gold coins to equip all the Senna army.
"Lord of Hiss, I told you before that I wanted to reform and turn all of the Senna Army into a commando team like mine, but now I find that we are seriously underfunded..."
Locke was very euphemistic about the fact that there was no money.
"I don't have any money, I don't have any money, you want to take more money from me, there are only tens of thousands of gold coins left for other uses, now the combat effectiveness of the Senna army is not weak, at least it is more than enough to hold Sena City!"
As soon as he heard Locke mention money, Heath was immediately alert, and his eyes looked at Locke warily.
In his eyes, now Locke is a profiteer, a vampire, and he can cheat others, which is a good thing, but Heath doesn't want to be squeezed by Locke anymore.
Although Locke is more of a talker now, Heath is still more concerned about things like money, and he doesn't want to invest all his money in armaments, and there are still money to spend in other aspects of Seine.
"Today, I'll leave the words here, you have to give it, you have to give it, you have to give it if you don't give it!"
Locke had to ask for it, and Heath couldn't resist it, he said no, in fact, it was a joke with Locke.
After successfully extorting 100,000 gold coins from Hiss, Locke did not hesitate to exchange the value of the munitions, and then immediately purchased 3,000 assault rifles and twenty machine guns from the munitions system to equip the 1st Division.
That's all, he directly used up his 1 million arms value, and Locke once again returned to that state of being poor and white, and his entire net worth was only 100,000 arms value.
He had to act as soon as possible, and he had a hunch that after he refused the request of the Holman Kingdom, the Holman Kingdom would definitely unite with the Hobbit Kingdom to deal with him.
So he had to do something before the two sides acted, otherwise the situation of the Seine might not be so good when the army was overwhelmed.
If it can be easily solved, he doesn't want to turn into a vicious battle again!
And now the army in Seine City basically knows about these rifles, machine guns and other firearms, and basically uses them, so when Locke equips them with assault rifles, the soldiers are not too surprised.
However, in order to ensure that every soldier must learn, and even be proficient in the performance of these firearms, Locke still patiently spent an afternoon gathering all the soldiers to conduct a firearms knowledge popularization.
In just one afternoon, the soldiers of Seine could not say that they knew all about these firearms, but they already knew how to use them.
After teaching everyone how to use firearms, Locke prepared to begin a raid on the county towns near Seine the next day.
Five days had passed since the Hobbit Kingdom sent a note to Holman, which meant that by the time they went to raid the nearby city-states the next day, the Holman Kingdom would have only four days to reply.
Four days was enough time for Locke to sweep away several counties around Seine.
Even though Holder now had a total of nearly 100,000 Holman troops around the city of Seine, Locke was not worried at all, he only needed to bring 3,000 soldiers of the 1st Division of the Seine Army armed with assault rifles to attack.
These 3,000 soldiers are all equipped with assault rifles, as well as sophisticated war horses, and their mobility and attack ability are absolutely superb.
And there are still nearly 10,000 troops in Seine City, although they are not equipped with guns or anything like that, but the artillery in Seine City is enough for those who want to invade to eat a pot.
Early the next morning, Locke led the Wolf Tooth Commando, driving the Wrangler tank and the M1A2 main battle tank to the city gate to meet the 3,000 Rangers armed with assault rifles.
The Wolf Tooth Commando team of twelve people, the Wrangler and the main station tank are just enough to carry it, and Locke and they have not used the Wrangler tank for a long time.
Since the introduction of the main battle tank, the Wrangler has gradually fallen out of favor, and after Locke purchased the Apache gunship, the Wrangler has lost its usefulness and is basically not used by anyone.
It wasn't until the expansion of the Wolf Tooth Commando that Locke found that their transport was a little insufficient, and the Wrangler Chariot was once again favored.
In fact, if you only talk about the ride quality, the Wrangler tank is undoubtedly much more comfortable than the M1A2 main battle tank, and the visibility, air and riding environment are much better.
It's just that the main battle tank has better defense capabilities, so Locke prefers to take a tank or helicopter on the battlefield.
However, the war has not yet started, and Locke is naturally sitting in the passenger seat of the Wrangler's chariot, listening to music and watching the surrounding scenery.
The city of Seine is located in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Holmen, so there are many small towns and large city-states around, there are three counties within a hundred kilometers of the city of Seine, and those small towns with a population of only 10,000 people are as many as dozens.
These city-states and towns are all places that can provide Locke with gold coins, how could Sock let it go!
The rangers kept killing towards the county town closest to Seine, and the small towns along the way saw Locke's rangers, and basically fell in despair.
There is no way, during this time, the limelight of Seine City is too strong, and the Holman Kingdom has concentrated an army of 100,000 people to attack them, and there is no way to take them, what can they do.
Moreover, in a small town like this, the standard configuration is 1,500 city guards, and even many towns do not have so many city guards at all.
And due to the deduction of food and salaries and other factors, the city guard fighters in these small towns are very weak, and it is very difficult to guard against those bandits in normal times, let alone let them deal with the elite soldiers of Seine City!
