Chapter Ninety-Eight: The May Day Event
International Labor Day, also known as "May Day" and "International WorkersDay or Mayday", is a national holiday in more than 80 countries around the world, which is set on May 1 every year.
It is a festival shared by working people all over the world.
Since it is a festival, it is natural to have a festive atmosphere.
So on this day, many food supply points under the banner of the United Nations and guarded by United Nations soldiers suddenly appeared in many impoverished UN member states, and began to sell some food of very low quality, even of high quality.
That's right, after several days of unremitting efforts by many star spies, Qi Lin finally became a member of the United Nations WFP's procurement program, although this also cost Qi Lin a lot of RMB as a bribe for spies......
But the most important thing is that Qi Lin is because of the food provided.
With almost the lowest price and almost the best quality, Qi Lin had almost no rivals and became one of the food suppliers of the United Nations without any suspense.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it seems that working as a food supplier to the United Nations does not make a lot of money, but this is not a problem for Qi Lin at all.
Because Qi Lin's grain almost does not require capital, as long as there is wood and land.
However, so far, these grain merchants have nothing to do with Qi Lin, at least on the surface.
At present, the only asset he has in his hand is the company that has just completed the merger and transformation during the May Day holiday.
Of course, this company has not been to this company once by Qi Lin himself.
That is, thanks to the fact that almost all of the top executives of this company are Qi Lin's senior spies, otherwise I am afraid that they would have changed their names and surnames long ago.
……
After spending a rather boring May Day with his family, and using that video to 'unintentionally' brush up a wave of disgust with Zheng Shuang's cousin, Qi Lin returned to the world of gladiators again with satisfaction.
After a few days of recuperation. Qi Lin's army has also expanded to 50,000 people, and with the completion of the upgrade of Calradia's towns, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers has also improved significantly, the most obvious of which is naturally the cavalry.
6,000 archers, 3,000 heavy cavalry, and 1,000 scout cavalry, totaling 10,000 cavalry.
With such a number of cavalry, in a place like Rome, where there were almost no cavalry, it was almost possible to walk sideways.
Furthermore. After seeing the power of the bow and arrow bug, Qi Lin directly increased the number of crossbowmen to 15,000, but only 5,000 of them were actually equipped with crossbows, and the remaining 10,000 were still foot archers with longbows.
The reason for this is that the upgrade of soldiers' equipment is not that after the shooting range is upgraded with technology, all soldiers' weapons will directly 'evolve', but they need to change their equipment.
Before he knew the strength of the crossbowmen, Qi Lin did not directly let all the archers change their clothes, so he only listed five thousand crossbowmen. Let's see how it goes.
If the combat effectiveness is not bad, then all the staff will be replaced.
However, after the upgrade of the castle era was completed, Qi Lin directly asked the peasant uncle to build the castle and create 5,000 Chinese special troops. That is, the Zhuge crossbowman who uses the Zhuge repeater.
However, in the production of these Zhuge crossbowmen, there were some unexpected changes.
Almost every 100 Zhuge Crossbowmen are produced, a special class will appear, and there is no system name for this type of soldier. However, Qi Lin found that these special soldiers were born on foot, but they seemed to be able to ride horses?
This makes Qi Lin a little strange, because the soldiers in the Imperial Age are very strict. An infantry is an infantry, and it cannot be ridden.
But these special classes don't seem to be subject to this restriction, and each of them is like a martial arts master, with clever body skills and hidden weapons.
In addition to the swords at their waists, these special classes have sleeve crossbows tied to their wrists and several throwing knives hidden on their bodies.
After some testing, Qi Lin found that even when these special units were running rapidly and climbing over uneven obstacles, they could accurately shoot more than a dozen unexpectedly disorderly moving targets in the bull's-eye.
And when it comes to climbing over uneven obstacles within 100 meters, it only takes a few seconds, which is much faster than the champions of the 100-meter sprint in the real world.
But the ability of these special classes that surprised Qi Lin the most was only discovered after the group of Roman legions that had been defeated by him before went and returned.
Not long after returning from the real world after May Day, the scout cavalry sent out by Qi Lin to patrol the territory came to the alarm, and the Roman legion, after some reorganization, had set up camp five kilometers outside the town, looking like they were waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
And that was Qi Lin looked at these special units in front of him, which looked like special forces, and decisively sent 3,000 archers and 2,000 heavy cavalry to harass the enemy camp.
After taking out the Roman military camp and completely chaotic, I asked these 50 special soldiers to infiltrate the opponent's camp, planning to play a decapitation operation, and by the way, test the combat ability of these special soldiers.
What he didn't expect was that after paying the price of no more than 15 people, these 50 special soldiers not only succeeded in killing the opponent's legion leader, deputy legion commander and several other commanders, but also extracted a lot of information from these people before killing them.
"Six of Rome's most elite armies are coming here from all over? More than 70,000 people? No...... And counting the same number of auxiliary legions, more than 140,000 people! Is this the rhythm of playing a showdown with me? ”
Looking at the information in his hand, Qi Lin's heart sank.
144,000 people, almost three times his total strength, and it is also the most elite army group in all of Rome, among which is the elite brought by the protagonist of this film, Maximus, and its combat effectiveness can be described as extraordinary.
In addition to these elite troops, there are also several reserve corps that are also desperately being formed, ready to support here at any time.
It can be said that although Qi Lin had repelled Quintus's army before, the fighting methods of the imperial soldiers made the other party believe that they were demons from hell, so after Quintus reported the news here to the Roman Empire, the huge empire suddenly became nervous.
After several disputes, the newly appointed Roman Emperor Chemedius made his final decision in fear and poured all his might into a battle against this demon army.
Faced with this result, Qi Lin was completely crying and laughing.
He really never expected that the other party would be scared like this because of those special abilities of the Imperial soldiers.
Demons? It's a shame they figured it out!
Qi Lin naturally knows the ability of the army under his command, although now because of the upgrade of science and technology, the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers is much stronger than before, but in the face of almost three times the stronger army, even if they use bow and arrow bug tactics, they may not be able to stop it.
Qi Lin has not forgotten the purpose of his original coming to this world, just to build a logistics base that can provide him with a steady stream of RMB.
But until now, except for a barren area around, there is not even a tree within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and almost all the resources for the construction of this base are paid by Qi Lin himself.
With the resources that Qi Lin currently has, although he still has enough to build two or three more cities the same size as the towns of Calradia, if he directly fights the Roman Empire now, he will undoubtedly run out of resources after a hard battle, and then come out of the country in a miserable defeat.
This is not what Qi Lin wants to see.
"Demolish the buildings and farmland in the city, leave the walls and watchtowers, quickly collect supplies, and remember not to leave a grain of rice. Let's go to Dahan for a walk first. ”
Compared with Rome, which is unfamiliar with the environment, the situation at home is more familiar.
Mining and cutting trees, now find a piece of land in the country.
After riding the fast horse, Qi Lin turned his gaze to the remaining thirty or so special soldiers who had brought him this vital information.
Thinking of the abilities they possessed, Qi Lin spoke:
"You ...... From now on, it will be called ...... Jinyiwei! (To be continued......)
ps: It's a bit of a Kavin (Anyway, you didn't Kavin that day?) )…… So it was even later...... But you should all get used to it, right?
