Zheng Xu quickly signed up, and he also saw the reward of 2 to the 32nd power, but he didn't take it seriously, he felt in his heart that it must be a gimmick, and he didn't come specifically for that.
In order to ensure that the ingots were enough and save trouble, he recharged another two million, which was a large number, but compared to his extravagant cousins, the expenditure of their high-class dance party was far more than this number.
It's just a small thing, and the lion's share of his spending is still to come.
"Young master, these are the two gentlemen from the Institute of Military History, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu, who have extremely in-depth research on various ** histories, and will definitely be able to help you," a butler in his sixties bent down and said to Zheng Xu.
Zheng Xu looked at the two people standing behind him, both were half-white old gentlemen, although the clothes they were wearing were clean and neat, but at a glance they knew that they were miscellaneous goods, maybe the other party was low-key, but there would definitely not be much money, otherwise they would not agree to this kind of three-month employment.
"Well, the two of you will stay at my house, the treatment has been negotiated before, if there is anything, I will call the two of you, first, you go out first" He didn't get up, just said a few words lightly there.
That Mr. Xu's face twitched, and the Mr. Chen next to him pulled down the corner of his clothes, and he swallowed back what he didn't say, just nodded in response, just like Mr. Chen.
The old housekeeper was used to Zheng Xu's temper, and he also nodded and took the two gentlemen out of Zheng Xu's bedroom.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, our young master, young age, poor etiquette, please don't be surprised" The old housekeeper apologized again and again, it is not easy to find such a person who is proficient in various ** histories, especially in such a short time, he doesn't want the two of them to leave in a bad mood, and he will be in trouble at that time.
"Forget it, big families always have their own rules, we work to get money, we feel at ease, and we don't need to pay attention to any etiquette," Mr. Chen said first.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your tolerance, the accommodation for the two has been arranged, the two of you can dine with me every day, and there are other things that feel inconvenient, you can notify me" said, the old housekeeper sent the two gentlemen to the guest room on the first floor.
The two gentlemen who studied military history stayed in the guest room. After a short time, Mr. Chen came to Mr. Xu's guest room, and the two began to talk.
"Lao Xu, you are really, a half-cut person, what do you care about with a child," Mr. Chen said.
"Alas, we have worked hard for half a lifetime of research, and in the end we can only become a tool for the powerful to play games and entertainment, which is really a waste of people" Mr. Xu was a little resentful.
"What's the way to do this, stay in that kind of Qingshui Yamen, the annual salary and benefits are not enough for the cost of a dinner party, if it weren't for the early years, there would be even more unbearable now. Your daughter is going to college, and she will get married in the future, if you don't make some extra money now, when will you wait, besides, we are much better than those guys, how can we eat according to our ability, no one can say anything, what is ugly" Mr. Chen can see it.
"That's the truth, two months is a million, this job can't be found, but it's good to give some face, don't say hello, and only treat us as people who can call and drink," Mr. Xu also understood, but he couldn't hang his face.
"How can you not be angry when you make money, everyone in the institute shouts a teacher, but the money is just like that, and it doesn't rise once in a few years,"
……………………
Zheng Xu didn't pay much attention to the two military history researchers invited by the high salary, just hoping that the other party could tell him some historical details, provide some reference materials, and expect him to check and analyze Baidu himself, which was definitely impossible.
As for why he didn't invite two military staff officers over, it was, of course, because he wanted to play by himself, not by others.
After the game's announcement about the "Storm Battlefield" was announced, 24 hours passed quickly.
"Fengyun Battlefield Battle: Battle of Waterloo, the two camps involved: the French army, the anti-French coalition army. French leaders: Emperor Napoleon; Leaders of the anti-French coalition: Duke of Wellington, commander of the Anglo-Dutch army, Marshal Blucher, commander of the Prussian army. Victory or defeat signs: the main force of the French army is defeated or the main force of the anti-French coalition army is defeated. Campaign starts: 6/16/15. ”
"Player's Personal Victory Marker: Survive until your faction wins"
"Begin the role-playing campaign: Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, with a reserve price of one million dollars. If the character is not contested, it will automatically be taken over by the intelligent NPC, and its body, personality, background, knowledge, and decision-making habits will be consistent with history, and the specific orders will change according to the actual situation. ”
Zheng Xu's feelings rose all of a sudden, of course he had heard of the Battle of Waterloo, but he didn't know the specific process, he just knew that the French army was defeated. Napoleon is even more famous, and it is certainly a lot of fun to be able to play such a well-known emperor in ancient and modern times.
He took the landline phone next to him and dialed a number.
"Let those two men come over, I'm going to ask them something"
"Got it, young master"
It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and at this time, they were still having dinner, but since the employer had spoken, he could only put down his chopsticks and rushed over.
"It may take a while to move a seat for the two gentlemen," Zheng Xu remembered one thing this time and instructed the butler next to him.
"Hmm," the old butler quickly asked people to bring two high-backed chairs and put them behind Zheng Xu.
"Okay, you're good to go"
After the old butler stepped back, Zheng Xu spoke, "Two gentlemen, have you studied the Battle of Waterloo?" ”
"Of course," said Mr. Chen, "this is a battle that decided the situation in Europe, born in 15 years,......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about superfluous things first, you first sue me for Napoleon's role in the whole campaign"
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, of course he knew which Napoleon the other party was talking about, "Napoleon, the French emperor at that time, had just regained the throne, and was the supreme commander of the French army in the entire Waterloo Campaign, and he decided the fate of the French army in that battle. ”
Knowing some of the personality of this employer, Mr. Chen stopped talking nonsense and only told it in the simplest and most understandable words.
"Well, tell me, if you become Napoleon, can you turn defeat into victory in this battle and defeat the anti-French coalition army?" Zheng Xu asked again.
"Impossible" was beyond Zheng Xu's expectations, and the two gentlemen said almost at the same time.
"Why?" Zheng Xu is very strange, he already knows so many things, can't he change the ending if he is not a prophet.
"It's very simple, we are all modern people, although we know most of the events and endings, but we don't have the experience of commanding the soldiers of that era to fight, let alone that kind of courage and character, let us go to be Napoleon, and the army will be messed up on the first day"
"That's right," Zheng Xu was poured a scoop of cold water, a little sober, Napoleon was tempered from one war after another, even if he played Napoleon and corrected the known mistakes he made, but if he replaced him with no experience and no courage, he would only make more childish mistakes and be caught by the enemy, and the result would be worse than Napoleon.
