Chapter 449: Giving Advice

readx;?“ Now that the demons are in danger, can we make some more adjustments and allocate more adequate personnel to the northeast border?" Alexander said in a deep voice, stroking his beard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"If it's just a matter of adjusting the layout of the troops, or changing the pathological coverage, it's fine, but I don't know what adjustments Your Majesty needs to make?" Rommel and Silva looked at each other and replied in unison.

"If I want to add another legion in addition to the four legions, specially equipped with powerful classes such as exorcist hunters, undead killers, demon hunters and mage hunters, especially to fight special enemies such as demons and monsters, I wonder if the financial and manpower can support it?" Alexander said thoughtfully.

"This?" Rommel replied first, "After the Imperial Army has been refined and condensed, it now has a personnel size of about 3 million, which is basically a relatively stable size compared to the major armies. Under such a staffing establishment, it is relatively normal for volunteers and conscripts to alternate, and the scale of young people of appropriate age to supplement and enter is also very reasonable.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Prime Minister Silva hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said: "At present, there are 30,000 people in the empire, according to the ratio of 1 out of 100, and the current fiscal and tax structure is also very reasonable. If it weren't for the moment of danger when Tu Poor Dagger saw it, the minister advised His Majesty to think twice. ”

"This?" Alexander's face was a little gloomy, he was not a stubborn emperor, and the proverbs of his courtiers were still listened to. According to the size of the empire's personnel and financial situation, maintaining a standing army of 3 million has reached its peak, and if it insists on using military force, it will inevitably cause serious harm to the development of the empire. And now the statement of the demon clan is not obvious, and the subjects of the empire are not aware of the danger of the demon race, only when the situation is critical and the fate of mankind is in jeopardy, maybe he can raise his arms and shout, and get a hundred responses from the subjects of the empire.

"Okay, let's keep the total number of troops unchanged for the time being, adjust the deployment of the first legion, add demon hunters, mage hunters, heavy machinery and other troops, and prepare to meet the first wave of demons in the near future!" Alexander waved his fist and said categorically, his eyes inadvertently glanced at He Jinshui, and when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, his heart moved slightly.

"Long live my emperor!" the ministers of civil and military affairs bowed in unison!

"Marshal Rommel, Prime Minister Silva, be sure to organize a special person to carry out research around today's topic, and you must formulate an effective development plan, and report it to me as soon as you draw up the plan!"

"Minister, obey!" the two of them bowed together.

"Well, that's the end of today's meeting. Alexander waved his hand and said happily: "He Jinshui stays, and the national teacher and Master Gangze also ask for a while!"

......

In the palace dining room, the maids brought hot freshly baked dishes like flowing water, and piled up empty plates in a pile, and staggered out, while Alexander and his son, Antonio, Master Gangze, and He Jinshui were sitting around the table enjoying the food and discussing what had happened today.

Previously, He Jinshui looked strange and stopped talking at the end of the meeting, so Alexander paid attention and hurriedly called him over to inquire about the situation after the meeting.

He Jinshui was about to answer, when suddenly his stomach rumbled, causing a burst of echoes in the empty hall. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, He Jinshui touched his head embarrassedly, and pretended to be shy: "I'm hungry, let's talk about it when I'm full." ”

As the saying goes, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers. Although Alexander was anxious, he heard that He Jinshui had not eaten for two days and two nights, and it was difficult to insist any longer, so he arranged a banquet and called the prince Raul to accompany him.

The restaurant was quiet, and several old men were all Sven, and the amount of food was extremely limited. Both Alexander and Master Gangze looked a little worried, and their appetites were naturally not good, so they wiped their mouths clean after eating a few slices of bread and waited quietly for the others.

Antonio eats unhurriedly, every knife and stroke is very neat, showing a good personal cultivation, his food is not big or small, and it has been consistent for many years, the combination of meat, vegetables and starch is reasonable, and it is supplemented by grape wine after the meal, but it is also excellent.

Only Raul and He Jinshui were left on the table, both of them were young people, and they were both big-bellied men, and they were unconsciously shocked by each other's stomach after eating, and secretly had the heart of competition. The three old men couldn't help but widen their eyes, envious of their good appetites, and unconsciously sighed: "It's good to be young!"

Although Raul's stomach is amazing, but after all, he is only a mortal fetus, and He Jinshui, an epic monster who never knows his fill, is still much inferior, after he ate the whole roast suckling pig, seven or eight sausages, and half a dozen breads, his stomach finally reached a critical point, and he had to put down his knife and fork with a frown, and gave up the title of the first pot-bellied king in the imperial capital.

In this way, He Jinshui tossed for most of the day, and only after hundreds of empty bowls did he feel full of wine and food, and involuntarily burped, and put down the knife and fork to wipe his mouth with a smile.

"Stinky boy, is the food still delicious, can it match your appetite?" said Alexander with a smile as he stroked his beard.

"It's delicious, it's naturally delicious, and the kid still admires the skills of the royal chef. He Jinshui replied slowly while picking his teeth.

"Hehe, flamboyant tongue!" The old man said with a smile: "If you like it, you can come often, anyway, it's a waste for the old man to eat alone, seeing that you eat so happily, the old man's belly seems to have become bigger, the meal is fragrant, and the body is great!"

"Then what's so embarrassing!" He Jinshui pretended to rub his hands with a twist, turned around and yelled at the kitchen: "Two more roast suckling pigs, I want to pack!"

"You kid is a hungry ghost reincarnated!" Alexander was so angry that he fell to the ground with a bang, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up and put him on the seat, and rubbed his back while beating his legs, and tossed for a while.

"The old man is really temperamental, he does things and speaks straightforwardly, the kid admires!" He Jinshui gave a thumbs up and said duplicitously.

"Hmph, stinky boy, this account will be settled later!" Alexander went to the study with the support of everyone, ordered someone to serve tea, and then drank back and began to discuss again.

"Stinky boy, you frowned at me earlier, and you clearly have something to say. Alexander rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "There are no outsiders now, just say what you want to say!" Then he turned to Antonio and said: "The national teacher has only spoken half of the words in the conference hall, so there must be confidential matters to discuss, just discuss them together!"

"Okay!" Antonio didn't pretentiously, he took out two things directly from his arms and put them on the table with a snap, one of them He Jinshui looked very familiar, and couldn't help but shout: "Spray, anti-wolf spray!"

"Hey, you kid knows the goods!" Antonio was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and said: "This is the anti-wolf spray, which was brought by the Human Emperor Wang Da Lei from his hometown, and later transferred to me. The spray was filled with garlic liquid diluted with the Holy Water of the Temple, and it sprayed into the eyes of the members of the Purgatory Team in an emergency, and the effect was amazing!"

"What!" He Jinshui almost sprayed the water from the teacup on Antonio's face, and said incredulously: "Wang Dalei actually thought of this trick, it's really amazing!"

"That's natural, my boss is talented, he ......" The person Antonio admires the most is the human emperor, and he can't help but want to brag a few times, but thinking that the other party now has no life or death, his heart can't help but darken, and he can't say anything when he comes to his mouth.

"National Teacher, I don't know what the use of this short sword is?" Master Gangze saw Antonio's appearance, knowing that he was uncomfortable seeing things and thinking about people, and it was difficult to change the topic, picked up the other short sword he put on the table and looked at it seriously, waved it twice casually and made a whirring sound, and asked a little uncertainly.

"This sword is an artifact, made from a strange gem we saw in the Rocky Mountains!" said Antonio, "and it is not sharp enough to kill enemies, and it is very fragile and breaks at the slightest blow, so it must be kept properly." ”

"The old man is teasing me, right?" Master Gangze blew his beard angrily and glared: "A good short sword can't actually go into battle to kill the enemy, how can you say that the artifact, scrap iron is almost the same!"

"Don't jump to conclusions, take a closer look!" Antonio said, rubbing his beard.

"This, the workmanship is exquisite, and the shape is quite good!" Gang Ze frowned and looked carefully, gently stroked the texture on the sword body and said: "The sword body is engraved with dense textures, it seems to be a small magic circle, it should have an effect similar to the real eye." ”

"Awesome, you know the goods!" Antonio raised his thumb and said with a smile: "You can be sure of the point, this sword is called True Light, and it has only one purpose, that is, it can screen evil!"

"Identifying evil?"

"Yes, as long as any evil creature comes within a hundred meters of each other, this sword will shine brightly, and the sword will shoot a dazzling light that is enough to illuminate the night as day; Therefore, His Majesty only needs to take this sword in his pocket, and take it out in case of emergency, he can make a judgment. I have two real eyes here, so please keep one of your own collection, so that you can find out the situation in times of crisis!"

"It's an artifact!" Alexander raised his eyebrows, and stroked it lovingly for a while before pocketing it. Then he said with a smile: "With this artifact, and then step up to improve the defense level of the imperial capital and the imperial palace, it must be not easy for even if you are like a Netherworld assassin, it will not be easy to commit another crime." ”

"Your Majesty, I also have something to say!" He Jinshui saw that the old man was in a good mood, so he arched his hand and said: "Previously, you hoped to expand the army to supplement the strength on the border, although you were unanimously opposed by both the military and the government, but this made me think of one thing, as long as it can be successfully solved, it will definitely strengthen the protective force on the northeast border!"

"Oh, let's hear it!" the old man was immediately interested.

"In the face of the imminent threat of the Demon God, the leaders of our mercenaries in Neverwinter City discussed not long ago, hoping to quickly integrate the various mercenary groups that have been in a state of stragglers for a long time to form a powerful unified alliance, so as to exert greater power in the Demon Sealing War!"

"Mercenary Alliance!" Alexander's eyes burned, and he said silently, "It's kind of interesting!"

"After the establishment of the mercenary alliance, we will deduce that the unified principal can take care of the interests of all parties in peacetime, and can lead us to set up a volunteer army in wartime, so that we will not be scattered and fight separately. He Jinshui's eyes flashed with confidence, and he spoke eloquently.

"Wonderful!" Alexander nodded and exclaimed: "In peacetime, he is for the people and makes money, and in wartime he is a soldier, and he coordinates and cooperates with the military's actions." As long as you move with emotion and reason, supplemented by military ranks and titles, you can naturally encourage these rough men to use me without spending a penny. ”

"Not only that, these unruly guys have outstanding martial arts skills, are skilled in magic, and are good at local small-scale combat, they can counter the demon beasts, and their countermeasures against super enemies even exceed that of regular troops. Gang Ze also nodded and said: "This kind of unconventional professional is flexible and flexible, and the quality of individual soldiers is extremely high, which is very suitable for dealing with sudden strong enemies." ”

"In addition, we can also select some outstanding seedlings from them and recommend them to the Empire's military academies and martial arts academies for further study, so that they can further improve their abilities and play a greater role in the war. ”

"Yes, that's it, otherwise it's a waste!" the three old men looked at each other, and involuntarily said loudly, and then laughed in unison.

"Hey, these three old guys, their brains are spinning so fast!" He Jinshui was stunned for a moment, and he had to admire the sensitivity and talent of several old men in military affairs.

Rao was like this, he still frowned and poured cold water and said: "Old man, there is an ugly sentence that the boy needs to say in front." He Jinshui raised his head and said in a deep voice: "These men are all unruly, they can't rub sand in their eyes, and they are even more unwilling to surrender to anyone, they may not accept the arrangement of the empire to become eagle dogs, will you think too simply." ”

"Stinky boy, you're still sloppy!" Alexander pretended to be displeased and blew his beard and glared: "We can't command them, but we still have you, you are the boss of the Lacey Corps, and you are the brave marquis of the old man's handbook, so naturally raise your arms and call out the responders!"

"Me!?" He Jinshui pointed to his nose, dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
