Chapter 283, No Armaments?
Edward was a little surprised, and said, "Do you really plan to serve wine and meat every meal? Such an expenditure of 10,000 people a month, just eating and drinking will cost less than 100,000 gold coins, and the military expenditure allocated by the empire, I estimate that it is not even 30,000 gold coins!"
"Haha, then it seems that I don't have to pay out of pocket, your monthly dividends are enough to feed these people. Du Lei said with a smile.
Edward said speechlessly, "Don't be too happy, the more than 300,000 gold coins given to you this time are because the Imperial Martial Arts Competition is more profitable, and the income of ordinary months is less than 100,000 gold coins. Do you think it's easy to raise a legion? Without the patronage and extra money of other family forces, the legion would not have been able to develop at all. ”
"Okay, okay, don't you have it... I'm responsible for creating a legion with the highest force in the empire, your Kador family will definitely not lose, your family is rich and rich, but compared to other families, the strength is much lacking, and you will not lose money in this transaction. Du Lei stopped Edward's words, this guy, Du Lei can see it, he loves money like life, let him earn him happy, let him spend money, that's distressing...
In the evening, truckloads of animal meat and wine were pulled into the barracks! The soldiers who had been training for a day were all red in the eyes when they saw the pieces of meat tumbling in the cauldron and the jars of ale wine! Originally, I was a little worried that the regiment commander was just talking, but I didn't expect that there really would be wine and meat to eat! This was not the hundreds of officers who had eaten meat and drank wine before! But more than 10,000 people ate meat and drank together!
"Legion Commander! I am really convinced by the Iron Furnace! Most of the Legion are mixed outside, and they only came to participate when they heard that the Empire was going to form the Thirteenth Legion, and now everyone can have meat to eat and drink wine! Everyone is absolutely united in their hearts to follow the Legion Leader!" Iron Furnace said as he held a large piece of beast meat and tore at it.
"That's it! I heard that the legion leader sent was a student magician, but I didn't expect the legion leader's strength to be so strong! My timber wolf is also convinced! Come, the legion commander, I respect you!" The timber wolf picked up the big bowl and said to Du Lei.
Although there is wine and meat, the whole barracks is not chaotic, half of the people are responsible for standing guard and patrolling, and having dinner normally, while the other half of the people have dinner and drink wine and eat meat in the school field, and then change the other half of the people after tomorrow! Although it has to be separated by one day, everyone still agrees, after all, this is a legion, not a cottage, it would be good to have wine and meat, who cares about waiting for one more day?
"Commander, with all due respect, the armament of our legion, I think you still have to go to the military headquarters to urge, otherwise when those people who pick the door take the initiative to send it, it will not come in a dozen days and a month. Timber Wolf said.
The school dinner lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and went back to their tents to rest. It is very good to be able to drink some alcohol to relieve fatigue after training for a day on this hot day, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sleep the next day with back pain.
Although the Quartermaster Department is a subordinate department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, it is not as simple as a subordinate department.
"We hope that the 13th Army will reach the quartermaster equipment as soon as possible. Du Lei took Luo Lao and a squad of 100 cavalry to the quartermaster office in the imperial city early in the morning.
The long thin quartermaster with eyes like a cunning fox said, "Oh, Lord Du Lei, this thirteenth army has just been formed, and the amount of materials and military supplies needed is too large, I'm afraid it won't be able to be taken out in a short time, so you better go back and wait patiently." ”
"Hmph, go back and wait!?We don't even have the most basic standard equipment!!What kind of training!" The team leader next to him stepped forward angrily and scolded.
The old fox was originally smiling and said coldly, "Let's stop talking darkly, Commander Du Lei, you know the person you offended, although this is the quartermaster department under the military department, you must know that the Salam family controls more than 70% of the share of the empire's steel and metal industry, ordnance and equipment, you can't get it, please go back." ”
"Oh, the thirteenth legion belongs to the Elma Imperial City Legion, can the Salam family's hand be stretched so long?" Du Lei understood, it turned out that it had something to do with him! This Salam family, which controls the steel and metal industry, is really easy to say who wants to embarrass anyone, after all, armor and weapons don't need steel?
The old fox sneered, "It's good that you understand, even if the empress knows, she can only turn a blind eye, what do you think the five major families of the imperial capital are, that is the pillar of the entire empire!"
"I understand, then I will report this matter to the military department, if the military department doesn't care, hehe, you don't have to worry about the future of the 13th Legion. Du Lei said calmly, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult! These guys who occupy these fat guys all the year round, if there is no coercion, they will definitely not let go, and Du Lei is too lazy to worry about them here.
"Legion Commander, Legion Commander, let's just leave?" The team leader hurriedly followed Du Lei and asked, if you can't get the armament, what will the Legion do? By the end of the year, the Legion Dabi doesn't even have weapons and armor, I'm afraid that the Thirteenth Legion will become the laughing stock of the imperial capital!
"I have my own way!" Du Lei shook his head, when the time comes, report to the military department, the military department can't solve it, hehe, Lao Tzu really doesn't need you at that time, the sophisticated armament in the hourglass of time is enough to equip a million troops! A legion of 10,000 people is simply a drop in the bucket!
Luo Lao also frowned and said, "Childe, why don't you let the old man deter them and force them to hand over the military reserves?"
Du Lei waved his hand and said, "It's useless, since the Salam family sincerely embarrasses me, even if you are the Martial Emperor, it's useless to go, let's go, go buy some things, and we'll go back." ”
Emma Imperial City United Chamber of Commerce Headquarters!
Du Lei looked at the magnificent building in front of him, and remembered the former Wanda Plaza, Kaiyuan Mall! In the bustling street section of the imperial city, there is a building that covers such a large area! There are almost as many fighting magicians who come in and out as there are people rushing to the market, and Du Lei, who is holding a hundred soldiers, stands at the door, attracting everyone's sideways, why are these soldiers coming to the United Chamber of Commerce?
When the war horse entered the city, it was placed in the horse farm outside the city, and it was not allowed to ride a mount when entering the city, unless it was a nobleman or an army inside the imperial city. More than 100 soldiers wearing armor entered the United Chamber of Commerce, and the face of the shopping guide who was in charge of greeting her at the door changed, and she still stepped forward and said, "The military masters come to the Chamber of Commerce, I don't know what they want to buy?"
"10,000 bottles of primary enchanted alchemy potions, 3,000 bottles of intermediate enchanted alchemy potions, 1,000 bottles of advanced enchanted alchemy potions, gold, earth, wind, and fire are equally divided. I didn't expect that there would be a shopping guide at the door, Du Lei sat directly on the leather chair in the VIP area and said. (The third one will be a little later, so let's wait until tomorrow.) )
