Chaucé handed over the workshop to Charles, and the treasurer would be in charge of the operation of the workshop, including recruiting artisans for José and overseeing production. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The only thing that José has to do is to put money into it, and of course, this workshop is now just a simple prototype. But in Jose's mind, the positioning of the workshop is not just as simple as civilian. You must know that the ordnance production within the empire is made by a specific workshop, and the ordnance equipment of the Northwest Army, including armor and military uniforms, is produced by the military workshop in Valen City.

As for Long Keduo and the Northwest Army under him, naturally there is also a place dedicated to the production of ordnance, that is, the military town of Moduocheng. Tens of thousands of Northwest Army under the command of Long Keduo, the food and drink of these people, and the weapons and equipment for training and combat are all from Moduocheng, which is also the confidence of the Northwest Army to dare to confront the central government.

But on the other hand, Joseph himself seems to be a little lacking in confidence, so Joseph is determined to establish a workshop in the county town of Sadland, although it is ostensibly a measure to claim open source, but José's expectation for this workshop is to build an armory of equipment and weapons for him. Of course, the current workshop will definitely not be able to accomplish this, but Joseph has just obtained thousands of sets of armor weapons from the Northwest Army, and he is not in a hurry.

"It's still not enough......"

In the study of the county guard's mansion, Jose looked at the various files in front of him and sighed with some concern.

Even if he has done everything during this time, the gap in strength between Sadland and the Northwest Army is still huge. To put it bluntly, if the Northwest Army really attacked, it would only take a day or two, and I am afraid that it would be able to directly deploy troops to the city of Sadland. And in addition to self-preservation, José didn't even have the strength to resist the Northwest Army, after all, all he had now was two thousand soldiers under Alok and a new army being formed.

Time, Joseph urgently needs time now, and judging from the current situation, if everything goes well, within half a year, Joseph should be able to form a new army of more than 10,000 people. Of course, I am afraid that these things will not be hidden from the Northwest Army for long, but according to the temperament of the Northwest Army, even if they know that they are expanding the army, they must not be too surprised.

At least now that both the Empire and the Northwest Army already know each other's attitudes, it is only a matter of time before they will tear their faces. But before the two sides completely break up, I am afraid that no one wants to fall out, and it is certainly impossible to confront the Northwest Army in Sadland without a little force in his hands. But if he discussed with Sistine and transferred troops from Valen, the Northwest Army would definitely not agree, so he could only train his own troops.

Joseph's initial idea was to build a new army of 15,000 within half a year, which was also the strength of a regular army of the Empire. The Northwest Army would not allow itself to have too many troops, so it could only get two flag regiments at most, that is, six or seven thousand regular troops were the best. Of course, this is only the number of people on the surface, and it is absolutely impossible for Joseph to recruit only this number of troops, so it is natural to secretly recruit some reserve troops, that is, the main army.

When Alok returned to Sadland, Jose gave him the task of recruiting soldiers, and openly recruiting the young and strong people in the county town of Sadland. At the same time, Jose issued a proclamation in the name of the Governor of the Garrison of the County of Sadland, nominally forming a new army of two standing regiments of Sadland. This notice was quickly sent in the form of a report to the Sistine in the Guannai and the Ronkedo in the Guanwai.

However, Jose expected that when these two guys saw this announcement, they must have been more or less surprised by themselves. However, since Sistine sees himself as the emperor's confidant, he will inevitably agree to his declaration, as for Ronkedo, although he must be dissatisfied with his own approach in his heart, but with the empire as a backer, if the Northwest Army does not want to rebel for the time being, he will reluctantly agree.

Since an army will have to be formed sooner or later, it is better to say hello to these guys in advance and expose their details to the Northwest Army, which can weaken their suspicion of themselves. Hmph, Lao Tzu reported the strength of the two flag regiments on the surface, anyway, and in line with the standards of the empire's conscription, presumably the Northwest Army has nothing to say.

Sure enough, Chase's response from both sides in the town of Saddland was swift, and Sistine said that he had informed His Majesty the Emperor of the matter, but it should not be a big problem, and he was relieved to start preparing his army. However, this cunning guy also said that because there are also 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers in the pass, he is afraid that he will not be able to spend too much military expenses, and at most he can only issue some armor and military uniforms and other equipment according to the standards of the two flag regiments.

This stingy guy probably wanted Joseph to raise his own troops, and he was now the governor of Moxi Province, and Joseph's conscription was in the name of garrisoning the army, so this formed army naturally belonged to the Sistine. Hmph, I want to have more troops, but I don't want to take out the money, but I encourage Lao Tzu to recruit soldiers, these noble lords are really some misers!

But if the Sistine agrees, it can at least represent a little bit of the emperor's majesty's meaning. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not get a bargain by doing this, but it will not be worth it to make the emperor dissatisfied. But now it seems that both Sistine and Mondevideo IV were quite satisfied with Joseph's willingness to spend money on the Empire.

However, in terms of the Northwest Army, Longke Duoke is not so easy to speak. The Northwest Army was very dissatisfied with the reaction to this incident, and even sent someone to send a message to Joseph, saying that there were nearly 10,000 people stationed in the three banner regiments of the Northwest Army in the county town of Sadland, and there was no need for conscription at all, and rash conscription would only increase the burden on the people of Moxi.

Of course. It is somewhat ironic that such righteous words came from the Northwest Army. Hmph, otherwise, you will cause trouble outside the pass, where will so many homeless people pour into Sadland County, but instead provide Lao Tzu with a good source of soldiers.

However, the slander is slanderous, and the procedures on the scene still have to be followed, and finally after several rounds of war of words, Ronkedo reluctantly agreed to Jose's conscription. However, the condition given by the Northwest Army was that the new army must be under the command of Gray, the deputy commander of the garrison of Sadland. The matter was barely resolved as a result of José's final bargain with the Northwest Army, with Gray and Alok taking control of the army.

However, in Aloke's view, José's move was a bit unwise, and he finally obtained the power to form an army, but agreed to divide the command of the new army to half of the generals of the Northwest Army, which was tantamount to dividing half of the new army to the Northwest Army.

You don't have to think about it to know that Gray will definitely be under Ronkdo's men, deliberately enveloping this new army into his own hands.
