The formation ceremony of the Blue Wolf Brigade of the Shengshan City Militia officially began, and more than 1,000 people of the whole brigade were all gathered on the training ground.

A squad of twenty people, a squadron of two hundred people.

All the soldiers entered in a square according to the instructions of the instructors of each department, and then formed a large square formation. Orders were forbidden, discipline was strict, and the sound of neat steps was booming, and the dust on the ground was raised to form a dust mist tumbling.

The officers of the Blue Wolf Brigade stood en masse on the podium, and Baron Sergei invited the Duke's envoy Rammutu to speak first.

There is a microphone in the middle of the stage.

Count Rammutu stepped forward, and he couldn't help but feel worried as he looked at the heavily armed Terran soldiers in the audience.

The Terrans of the Tedgar Hills were mixed with the Barbarians, and most of them had some Barbarian blood. Therefore, the Terrans in the Tedgar Hills are generally tall, and although their physical fitness is not as good as that of the barbarians, they are much higher than the Terrans in other places.

Looking at these Terran soldiers armed with steel, the Barbarian Count couldn't help but think of the elite Imperial Army.

Is there really no hidden danger that Lord Duke plans to recruit Terrans to form an army to fill the gap in the front line?

Things don't happen, and no one can predict the future.

It is only hoped that the Terran merchants who have been blessed by the Duke will be loyal to the Duke of Celtic for generations to come, as they have sworn to do.

】

The congratulatory speech of the Duke of Celtic brought by Count Rammutu was greeted with warm applause from the Blue Wolf Brigade after a short speech.

Then Baron Sergei, the captain of the Blue Wolf Brigade, led the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Brigade to read the oath of loyalty to the Duke of Celtic to the Duke's envoy.

Finally, there is the official appointment of the officers of the ministries.

The first is the Inspector General: Luke.

When the name was pronounced, the entire training ground was filled with cheers, and the neat formation suddenly became scattered. The instructors from outside were blowing their whistles and shouting hard, but as outsiders, they didn't understand what an invincible Terran Hercules meant to the Terrans of the Tedgar Hills.

Baron Sergei's appointment was announced to be terminated, and he, ignoring Count Rammutu's ugly face, invited Luke to come forward and say something to these admirers.

Although unprepared, Luke walked over to the microphone.

"Quiet! Soldiers! Luke was full of energy, and the sound of the sound was more than that of the stereo and the momentum of the whole training ground was heard with a threatening momentum, and all the soldiers immediately fell silent and quickly returned to their positions.

"Very good! You all know that I am an adventurer, I have been to many places, I have seen the army in many places. There are armies that conquer all and are invincible; Some armies are stragglers like bandits.

In you, I see the rudiments of an elite army. You are physically strong, and you are the best soldiers anywhere in the world; You have good instructors who are conscientious; There are donors who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy advanced weapons from all over the world.

You are an army with the hope of countless people!

I hope that you will practice every training subject well and prepare for the real battlefield as soon as possible.

I have proven in the Holy Mountain Hercules Arena that the Terrans can produce excellent Hercules. Next...... that proves that Terrans can train good soldiers That's you! ”

Luke's brief speech ended, and the scene became uncontrollable again.

The instructors even used sticks to beat the overly agitated soldiers before gradually rearranging the formation.

The inauguration ceremony continued.

Baron Sergei continued to read out the appointment of officers, while Count Rammutu, who was standing aside, had a black face all the time.

The only thing he was thankful for was that Luke wouldn't be going on to win in the final tiebreaker at the Duke's Castle.

50 million Reichsmarks is worth it!

After the ceremony of the formation of the Blue Wolf Brigade was over, and Baron Sergei saw off the barbarian count, he invited Luke to his office alone.

Close the door, set up a ban, and open the various anti-eavesdropping detection magic mechanisms in the room.

After making sure that this conversation would never leak out, Baron Sergei sat back at his desk, and Luke sat across from him.

Seeing that Baron Sergei was so cautious, Luke asked, "Lord Baron, what important matter do you want to talk to me about?" The whole room was sealed, and it was almost exiled to the second space. ”

"The magic array of the exiled subspace is too complicated, although I have studied magic, I am not proficient in it, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back after being exiled." Sergei opened with a slight humor, and then turned to a solemn question: "Mr. Luke, who are you?" ”

"An adventurer...... The Adventurers' Guild has my files, all of which are public information, and Lord Baron should be able to find them. ”

Sergei looked at Luke: "I checked, but the Holy Mountain Adventurers Association does not have your complete file." Your adventurer's registration is in Raging Waves, and the Sacred Mountain Adventurers' Association will need to retrieve information from the Adventurers' Guild in Angry Waves, which will take time.

But...... If someone is doing tricks in the Adventurers' Association of Angry Waves, even if they are transferred, there will definitely be no problem. ”

Luke knew that Sergei had doubted his identity, and he said helplessly: "If you think so, I can't help it." No matter what evidence I come up with, you have reason to doubt me. ”

Sergei watched Luke, trying to see any flaws, but he couldn't see anything.

"I've met a lot of adventurers because of my business, and you're different from them. There's a temperament in you, especially in the speech just now, you're more of a leader than I am. ”

Luke laughed and said, "It seems that I should form a team of adventurers, and it is much easier and safer to be the boss than to venture alone." ”

Luke's gags made it difficult for Sergei to judge the origin of the man in front of him.

He had no choice but to say, "Whether or not I've thought about it too much, I just want to know if you have a high-level relationship in Angry Waves City?" ”

"There's ......," Luke thought about and added, "a little bit." As an adventurer, it is inevitable that you will receive commissions from some powerful people. Some people are familiar with me, and they will give me tasks directly without going through the Adventurers' Guild, and they will not let the Guild earn intermediary fees. ”

Luke's answer was perfect, and Sergei could only bite the bullet and say what he wanted: "Angry Waves City is now the World Trade Center, and many things are cheaper and more convenient to pick up from Angry Waves City than in the place of origin. It was only because of the war between the Tedgar Hills and the Empire that the City of Angry Waves also joined the blockade of the Tedgar Hills.

Some of the things we buy will be transferred through Angry Waves, and we also want to buy machinery directly from the factories in Angry Waves, and we also want to sell goods from the Tedgar Hills.

Sir, is there anyone you know who can help us in the Angry Waves? ”

Luke pretended to think about it for a moment, and then replied, "I really know one." This friend of mine was originally a gang member in the harbor of Haijiao District, Fury Waves, but later luckily joined the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau with the Governor of Meteorite, and is now in charge of Haijiao Harbor Customs.

Haijiao Harbor used to be a smuggling port, but now it is legalized to do anything as long as you pay money. ”

The new Cape Harbor is now managed by the Burning Sun Group and belongs to Luke's private mini-vault.

The collection of taxes must also be paid to the city government department, and the smuggling tolls are all their own.

Sergei's request is easy to handle, just find a dock gang and deal with it.

Sergey did not expect that Luke would have such a friend who had real power in the port of Cape. If this road is opened, not only will it save a lot of money by purchasing factory equipment now, but the things produced in the future can also be sold all over the world through Angry Waves City.

"It's not a problem to be able to do it with money!" Sergei said to Luke, "When you go back to Angry Waves this time, can you ask this friend of yours to help us?" ”

Luke replied, "I can talk to him." It's just that your goods have passed through the customs of Angry Waves, how can they be transported into the Tedgar Hills? I had just walked through the southern passage, and I could only transport small things, and large items had to pass through the Empire's blockade zone. ”

"You don't have to worry about how the goods come in. A war is a war, and making money is making money, as long as the goods can smoothly enter and exit the city of Angry Waves, there is a way to send them into the Tedgar Hills.

That's how all the equipment I bought for the Blue Wolf Brigade was brought in. ”

After visiting the barracks of the Blue Wolf Brigade, Luke discovers that the sources of weapons and facilities here are very mixed, and they are even more than Ah San.

This shows that these Terran merchants of the Holy Mountain are actively contacting the world market.

Luke was still thinking about how to tie the new group of factory owners in the Tedgar Hills to the front of the car in Angry Waves, but he didn't expect that these factory owners had already opened their way and handed the rope up.

When you get into the car in Angry Waves City, you will know how good this car is. When the upstream and downstream channels of the factory are controlled, aren't these emerging factory owners all the kings of the urn?

Luke said happily, "I'll leave this matter to me." Does Lord Baron have anyone in charge of the city in the Angry Waves? I'll just build the bridge, and it's your business to talk about it later. ”

"Yes!" Baron Sergei took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote down the address and name of the contact person with a quill pen, and then handed it to Luke: "Just look for him in the city of angry waves, and he will take care of the rest of the matter."

In addition......"

Sergei hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I know that for the merchants of Angry Waves City, it is very risky to invest in the factories here during the war. But there is still a very big gap in our funds, there are too many things to build, and the suppliers are all asking us to give cash.

And the ducal castle simply does not have money to offer us.

Can you go back this time and help us find a businessman or institution willing to invest in the Tedgar Hills? Land and manpower here are very cheap! ”

Despite this request, Baron Sergei did not give much hope.

Businessmen invest to make money.

The Tedgar Hills are still on the disadvantage side of the battlefield in the midst of war, and foreign investment may not benefit from anything.

Therefore, it is very difficult to attract investment.

However, Luke said, "It's impossible for you to get the merchants of Raging Waves to invest in factories in the Tedgar Hills, but there is hope for other investments. ”

"Other investments? What investment? Baron Sergei asked.

Luke replied, "There are a lot of non-profit charities in Angry Waves that accept charitable donations and use them to help people in need.

If it is to build hospitals, schools, roads, electricity, water, agriculture...... These are public welfare investments that provide convenience for the low-level people, and they must be willing to invest their money. ”

Baron Sergei couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, and he asked in surprise: "These are investments that will hardly see profits in a short period of time, or even not at all, will anyone really invest in these projects that are not profitable at all?" ”

Luke laughs and says, "In Angry Waves, money is a number for a lot of people. The favorite thing for the rich people in Nutao City is to hold charity cocktail parties, which not only talk about business, but also earn a good reputation as 'philanthropists'.

If you don't make money building a factory, they're going to have a hard time.

But building a hospital doesn't make money, and they don't care at all, because they've got what they want. ”

Baron Sergei was completely unable to comprehend the brain circuits of the wealthy people in the city of Angry Waves, but the construction of the factory would definitely have a large number of workers concentrated in the accommodation. Medical treatment, education, transportation, ...... These are all problems that need to be solved.

If these non-profit charities are willing to invest in these unprofitable projects, wouldn't they be able to concentrate on investing in profitable projects?

The philanthropists in Angry Waves are really doing charity!

Sergei asked eagerly: "How do I contact these charities?" ”

Luke shook the paper in his hand and said, "I happen to know a few people in charge of the charity, so I'll contact them first, and use what I've seen on the ground to explain the current difficult situation in the Tedgar Hills, and then your people will apply."

However, there are many conditions that need to be obtained to get an investment approved. ”

Sergey asked: "What conditions are needed?" ”

Luke thought for a moment and said, "The charity will send people to the Tedgar Hills to conduct a census and make an overall plan of what projects to invest in and how much to invest based on the number of people and the density of settlements.

This is to prevent people from fraudulently obtaining investment funds by misrepresenting the local situation. ”

"This ......," said Baron Sergei, embarrassed, "there are few large cities in the Tedgar hills, and most of the population is scattered deep in the mountains, and the barbarian tribes do not like outsiders to approach. ”

Luke replied, "Of course it's not a territory-wide census, I'm afraid it will take a few years." Only census the larger towns, skip if the barbarians don't cooperate.

Anyway, investment is based on capitation and demand, and the fewer people in the census may get less investment. ”

Hearing that the investment would decrease, Baron Sergei felt more uncomfortable than losing money in his own business.

"Please ask Mr. Luke to help with charitable investments. On the Barbarian side, I will do everything in my power to persuade them, but I promise that the Terrans will definitely cooperate well with the census.

There are so many people in need of help in the Tedgar Hills! ”

Luke said sincerely, "It is also my wish to help those in need. The Tedgar Hills have lagged far behind the mainstream world because of their wrong policies, and the common people at the bottom live in great poverty.

I will do my best to reach out to more non-profit charities to bring more charitable investment to the Tedgar Hills. ”
