Chapter 171: The Relationship Between the Family and the Imperial Family!

Zhang San stroked the rifle in his hand, and the calm and heavy body of the gun made him feel very comfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't need any calibration equipment, just a few casual glances, Zhang San knew that the front sight of this rifle was unusually accurate, accurate to the point that he couldn't see any errors. Ah Le had no drawings at all, and without the help of special tools, he relied on an old-fashioned machine tool with not very good accuracy, and processed a bunch of parts by himself, and he was able to make such a gun. Just by virtue of this craft, Ah Le's value is at least thirty percent higher.

Originally, Zhang San's purpose in saying those words to Ah Le was just to let Ah Le retreat. After all, the Zhang family is not Zhang San's alone, and it is not his turn to decide on family affairs in terms of status. For a family like the six super families, interests are paramount, and the top of the Zhang family will not offend a Tang family who wants to be a person with his own strength for a A Le who only has a fourth-grade subordinate. After all, the Tang family had already stated the matter of Elder Alekqing, and such a practice of digging up the wall was also shameful for the Heda family.

However, there are exceptions to everything, such as when the benefits outweigh the risks. Zhang San is no longer the Zhang San that Ah Le knew at the beginning, after all, Zhang San has begun to gradually get in touch with some of the power of the family, and the same power corresponds to the same responsibility.

Zhang San stroked the rifle with his hand and said, "I can't be the master of this matter, give me some time!"

Zhang San rummaged a few times in a large box next to him, threw a nameplate to Ah Le, and said, "This thing is for you, and I will inform you after we discuss it." You go first, Ah Le, I'll be at the Zhangjia headquarters right now. Remember, in this turbulent world, only strength can work miracles. ”

When leaving the Zhang family barracks, Ah Le finally understood the reason why the six super families of the empire had stood for thousands of years.

As the six most important super families of the Empire of Light, the combat power of a super family is actually the sum of individuals and armies. If you have a large number of armies and a reasonable mix of military arms, your outstanding combat effectiveness is not so important. Of course, everything is relative, and if the individual force exceeds a certain limit, let's say reach the level of an emperor of the fifth or even sixth rank, then the number of troops becomes irrelevant.

In fact, each Super Family is an independent army, and the loose subordination between them and the royal family ensures their freedom of action to the greatest extent, mainly to ensure that they are kept in the least check when building armies and plundering resources.

The operation of the Super Family is mainly to plunder resources and control the economic lifeblood of the empire. The loose structure can also make those who are not closely connected, or even hostile to each other, but once a foreign enemy invades, all the Super Family armies will fight with all their might under the same banner under the command of a wise leader.

Large-scale fights between clans are strictly forbidden, but in the fringe areas where survival is particularly harsh and the competition for resources is fiercest, all systems and models can be adapted. If a direct member of a large family is annihilated by another direct member of another super family during a battle in the border area, there is a possibility that the heads of both families will remain silent about it, and this behavior can be seen as a beneficial form of internal self-elimination and self-renewal.

Under the seemingly loose structure of the Empire of Light, there is actually an unparalleled aggressiveness hidden. Famous geniuses led their own armies one after another, expanding their family's territory from all directions. And the royal family has always encouraged this practice, after all, these territories were taken from the hands of the Death Council. Some of these geniuses are constantly falling, some are weakened, but others are becoming stronger because of the war. They use the resources they have plundered or occupied to exchange more and more advanced weapons and equipment with the Empire, gain access to more core technologies, and enrich their armies, and then lead more powerful armies to the Death Conference.

Further mega families will expand and establish their own territory, and set up private hospitals, research institutes and arsenals, so as to become a military stronghold, saving a lot of resources, but also showing the power of super families, so as to gain more voice in the empire.

Most of the time, these facilities and institutions are closely related to the family, and most of these institutions are set up at the expense of the family, and then transferred to the private name of the descendants of the family, and all the output and technical achievements are shared by the family and the royal family.

Of course, Ah Le is thousands of miles away from establishing his own facilities, and he can't even perfect Sunset City's armed system now, except for a few Italian cannons that he has exchanged for military merits, Sunset City doesn't even have the most advanced weapons. Even this off-road vehicle was given by Li Jiasifan, but with his current economic situation, he has no money to buy fuel at all, let alone drive an off-road vehicle to hunt military exploits around Sunset City.

On the way to Sunset City, Sue kept circling two thoughts in his mind, how to expand his army, if to expand his territory. And now he is both excited and apprehensive in his heart, there is a clue to the death of the old man, but with his current ability, is there really a way to take revenge? So Ah Le should think more about the army now!

A soldier is considered a real soldier only after he is registered with the military department. Passers-by must be absolutely loyal to the Empire and be ready to sacrifice for the Empire at all times. In return, the Empire pays for the soldiers' families, equipment, livelihoods, and all the expenses for their personal needs. But new recruits have no personal freedom and serve the empire for many years until they make a significant contribution to it. In fact, these military talents are the greatest existences, spilling their blood for the empire, and dedicating their youth and even their lives to the empire. Every inch of the empire was forged with the lives of these soldiers.

As an important part of the Empire's combat power, and at the heart of the Imperial system, the betrayal of military personnel is absolutely forbidden. In the event of a betrayal, agents of the Empire of Light intervene directly to deal with the betrayal. And another, more specialized institution in dealing with betrayal is the Imperial Military Tribunal.

Soldiers come from a variety of sources, the most common being poor children from the side of the family, followed by those who need a stable source of livelihood, after all, being a soldier is much luckier than not working.

In this turbulent era, based on Ah Le's survival experience, people who can become soldiers are undoubtedly living in heaven. They had enough food, clean water and even a bath. As for the danger of dying in battle, it is not really a very important issue, and few people living at the bottom can be sure that they will survive tomorrow. To be able to become a soldier of the Empire of Light means to get out of a lowly and lifeless life, and to enter the real civilized world.

Of course, since cultivating soldiers is a high price to pay, no super family will easily accept soldiers, especially those who are registered in the empire. The criteria for selecting soldiers in the Super Family are mainly potential and skills, of course, in order to maintain the relationship with some special and beautiful women or men, occasionally there will be big names in the Super Family who choose ordinary people as their retinue and the like. Potential needs to be cultivated, especially those soldiers who have the potential to develop high-level abilities, which will consume a lot of resources of the Super Family.

Generally speaking, large families with strong resources will choose soldiers with high potential, while relatively poor small and medium-sized soldiers pay more attention to the reasonable combination of existing skills and occupations.

Ah Le is an exception, probably the poorest of all castle lords of all time, and it looks like this record will not be broken for a long time.

Sunset City has appeared in sight, and Ah Le is still thinking about the source of his saber, and it seems that he has gained nothing for the time being. Besides, no matter what kind of army it is, he can't afford to pay the sky-high military expenses alone.

Whatever! Go out and hunt high-level zombies first, and get military merits to make up the cost of Sunset City's equipment replacement. Ah Le's personality is actually very sunny, he is used to keeping things that he has not yet been able to solve in his heart, and only focusing on what can be done in front of him. And the first thing to do right now is to forge Sunset City as its own base first.

Now the strength of his army is still very weak, not enough to stand alone, and the bloodbath of the zombies makes Ah Le vividly remember. The soldiers of Sunset City are only facing the lowest-level zombies with no intelligence, and the damage is close to half. What would happen to his own army if they were to hunt down the viscounts and earls?I'm afraid that if they were to face each other, there would be very few thousand troops left! Thinking about the scene at that time, even with Ah Le's current strength, he was not the opponent of that powerful earl at all. Just a little curious about the mysterious man? Who is it?

Ah Le looked at one of the latest maps, that area was an area that Ah Le had never explored, and the area farther away was a large area of so-called gray area, that is, there were high-level zombie activities nearby, and there were some traces of the establishment of a city. On the other hand, there are bloody red zones, where very dangerous mutated creatures are present, or where there have been a lot of casualties. Beyond the red area, there is an inky color, which is only known about the topography and landforms, and there is no other information, because that area is the heart of the Dark Realm.

On the way to hunt high-level zombies, Ah Le turns the steering wheel and heads towards Sunset City. Now that the email has been sent, at least I have to take a look, for this email, Ah Le almost couldn't come back in the dark country, since he has such a big obsession, how can he be willing not to take a look.

Approaching Sunset City, Ah Le has a mixed heart with mixed tastes, and there is an indescribable feeling!
