Chapter 53: Raiders on the Mountains 2

As we all know, the major power groups sit on land and population, control resources and armaments, and ordinary people can only submit to the rule of power groups and be used by power groups. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info[Ran^Wen^Library][].. However, everything is not absolute, and there is a group of people in the alliance who have their own weapons and chariots, but do not obey the orders of the large groups. They are uninhibited, they follow their freedom, they do what they want, they talk and laugh and kill, of course, they also value love and righteousness, they can stand up for their wives and children, and they can stick knives in their friends.

These are the mercenaries, the mercenaries who walk between the flames of war and the fall of cities.

In the beginning, mercenaries were a single individual, they accepted hiring, completed tasks, and earned rewards, not tied to land and power groups. Later, these mercenaries formed groups in groups, gradually forming organizational groups, and then collectively undertaking certain tasks, completing more difficult tasks, and earning more generous rewards, so a new force was slowly formed, that is, the figurines army.

Because of the needs of the times, the development of the army has expanded rapidly, and this speed of development has far exceeded the expectations of those in power, reaching a point that cannot be ignored.

From the point of view of strategic requirements, for some imperative military tasks, the major groups of the military often care about the disproportion of what they get and what they pay, and cherish the lives of the troops in their hands...... In fact, this is also normal, the army is the foundation of the major power groups, just like the warlords who have repeatedly appeared in history, and if they want to maintain their position, they have to have soldiers in their hands!

Therefore, warlords are more keen to spend a small amount of money, outsource military tasks to other people to complete, spend some money, hire people to die, and then get more rewards!

And these "others", without exception, are called mercenaries.

Although the risk of life and death is greater, the mercenaries do not have the responsibility of defending their territory, and they can travel to various theaters of operations, and they can also withdraw to the interior at any time to rest and recuperate.

And the way to restrict mercenaries within the alliance is also very simple and straightforward, that is, to control the supply and rest places of mercenaries.

As long as it grasps the lifeblood of the mercenaries, the alliance will not be afraid that the power of the figurines will grow and endanger the interests of the ruling class.

However, this time, the task of attacking the three cities of Panshan is also effective for the figurines, so this is equivalent to opening a precedent, if a certain army of the figurines takes down a county and masters the construction facilities of the county and the factory left before the end of the world, then the alliance must recognize the legal right of the figurines to occupy the area.

In this case, it is very likely that the figurines will have their own supplies, break free from the control of the alliance, and form a new warlord power.

There is only so much land, and this is the result that no one seems to see.

"I'm against it! If you can't indulge the expansion of the mercenaries' power, this is to drink to quench your thirst and bring about your own destruction!" An aging member of the Eastern Legion Council was the first to raise the opposition.

Long Yuanqing looked at this guy who made a sound, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought in his heart, compared with those warriors who guarded the frontier and sold their lives for money, these guys in your Eastern Army who were divided into kings were really hateful, Lao Tzu's proposal naturally gave you enough face, and you fucking dared to blow your beard and stare at it.

Lao Tzu asked you to come to the meeting, did he ask you to oppose me? Long Yuanqing's heart was nameless.

However, this kind of thought, Long Yuanqing could not show it on his face, on the contrary, Long Yuanqing seemed very tranquil, with a deferential appearance. It wasn't until the audience finished shouting against it that Long Yuanqing knocked on the table to silence the participants.

"Okay, okay, since some people oppose it, it means that this opinion is very controversial, and it is normal to be controversial. However, I still want to tell all of you here that the current Panshan operation is related to the survival of the alliance, if you still care about your own gains and losses, and do not see the general trend, you will inevitably be eliminated by the times!

The coalition expects to clear the mountains and cities of the zombies within three months, occupy abandoned mines and quarries, and try to get some of the mines up and running before autumn comes. This task is very arduous, the terrain in the mountainous area is so complicated, and the combat is so difficult that if we only rely on the troops of various military regions, it is estimated that we will not be able to accomplish the established policy within this year, so we must rely on mercenaries and arouse the enthusiasm of the mercenaries!"

Long Yuanqing talked eloquently.

But the member of the conference delegation in the eastern region remained unrelenting: "First of all, I believe more that the strength of the military can complete the task of occupying the Panshan area alone; Secondly, even if you want to mobilize the mercenaries, there is no need to divide the ownership of the occupied territories to the mercenaries, and those displaced people are already rebelling with weapons in their hands, so do you want to encourage their arrogance? ”

The members of this conference group spoke politely at all, and they didn't give Long Yuanqing a good look at all!

Long Yuanqing was completely angry at this time, and immediately roared angrily: "I don't know how arrogant the mercenaries are, I know how arrogant you are, but I'm afraid you haven't seen how arrogant I am!" ”

This is quite tongue-twisting, and the people who heard this have not yet come back to their senses, Long Yuanqing has already called out to the arrangers of the conference hall: "Come on, let me take this guy who doesn't know how to respect and etiquette out, I don't want to see this person again in this meeting, I don't dare to guarantee that I won't shoot him to death!" ”

Long Yuanqing was furious in the conference hall, and all the military bigwigs present chose to remain silent, obviously unwilling to go down and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Chairman Long for a small minion, and they all said that everyone was the master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and no one would easily brush Long Yuanqing's tiger whiskers.

Therefore, everyone including Hong Guochou, the head of the Eastern Conference Group, chose to remain silent, and the guy who roared Long Yuanqing was immediately set up out of the conference room by two tall guards.

The members of the Eastern Conference Group were actually ordered to leave, which was a naked slap in the face of the Eastern Legion, but the conflict that everyone was expecting was not staged, Hong Guochou still sat in his seat with a calm face, his eyes were not squinting and napping, and he seemed to be lacking in energy because of his age.

However, some people vaguely saw a hidden smile on Hong Guochou's face.
