On this day, the enemies from the deep sea who went to the north of the Nok continent ascended to heaven en masse! It's like a dung ball in a manure pit, swept away by the dung diggers! The shell lang will cry when he sees it

As for the captives and the living mouth, none of that mattered!

The most important value of living is intelligence and negotiation.

For the invaders, negotiations are not important, according to the set course, they have only a dead end, and it is a waste of time to negotiate terms with them.

When you eat chicken legs, there is no need to negotiate with chickens, and when you roll dung balls, there is no need to negotiate with dung balls...

As for the intelligence brought by the captives...

Even if you know what they are going to do next, it won't have any effect on the overall battle situation, and the language is also a problem!

The croaking of the fish people is no different from the barking of dogs and pigs in the village, and only the cultivated wild boars in the ravine can understand.

So... Combined with the cost of time and the cost of action, it is not a wise choice to cast a mouse bogey because you want to catch it alive.

Killing the enemy is the most direct and effective way, and there is no need to waste time.

...

A few hours later...

The mouth of the northwestern part of the empire has been plunged into a sea of fire, and there is no place to put your feet except for an ice wall not far away to keep out the heatwave.

In this situation, Galen, who had just stepped into the Ted thief ship, didn't know where he got the confidence, and his waist stiffened! It's like a dog-fighting Teddy, looking at the enemy's embarrassed appearance, it's like his face is covered with gold!

The second prince, Galen, didn't even touch the gun, and began to look like the war period after that...

At this moment, his heart was comfortable, and he seemed to anticipate the future: "When the time comes, I will be bombing everywhere in a plane!" My name will spread all over the world! Everybody knows, everybody knows! ”

Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart, and if he said it, he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone present!

Not far away, Ted raised his right hand, touched his nose gently, then turned to Joseph's side, switched to the private channel and told him: "We have one more tool man in the north, when the time comes, select 20 elite soldiers from the army, as well as 100 smart soldiers, and assign them new factory MK14s, watch his every move, if something happens, call the transport plane, and evacuate after extinguishing the mouth..."

"No problem! Sir, but... May I ask a question? ”

In the entire northern territory, there are not many people who dare to ask such questions, Joseph is his future brother-in-law, and the family has questions, and Ted doesn't mind helping him answer them: "Say." ”

&NK14 Isn't it just that the M1 rifle has an extended magazine, and then the wooden butt is replaced with an EBR butt, why not use the SCAR-H or HK417..."

In terms of combat quality and intuition, Joseph is indeed very good, but when it comes to military production, as well as macro war logistics, it is not so professional...

In large-scale wars in the future, excellent and accurate weapons are not the first choice, but sturdy and durable weapons that will become standard equipment.

Moreover, macho men don't like to use small-caliber and small-charge bullets, and it seems that the NATO bullet that can control 7.62 is the standard for 'entry-level' macho men.

Ted breathed a sigh of relief and told the truth: "Uh... Although the latter two weapons are better than the former in terms of accuracy and maturity... But to some extent, war is not about weapons, but about logistics... The use of Mk14 can save 7% of the cost of logistics, and the machinery and equipment for the production of M1 rifles can be used continuously, and only some parts need to be modified to continue to be used, and at the same time, we will not delay the production of M1 for sale! Besides, our army is full of macho men, and those who can't hold down 7.62nato have been eliminated a long time ago"

Saying this, Joseph roughly understood what Ted meant: "Sir, that is, the weapons used in the hands of our special forces may not be used by ordinary soldiers?" ”

"Yes, maybe when you used electromagnetic weapons, the big army had just finished changing rifles... Because the cost of replacing the equipment of a large army is astronomical! You think so, every soldier, from head to toe equipment has to be changed! By the time I get Chris handing out the budget slip, my head is going to blow up..."

In just a few seconds, Joseph did a simple math problem, if the price of equipment is multiplied by 1000, it is acceptable, if it is multiplied by hundreds of thousands of millions, or even 10 million...

Ted smiled and turned to look at Joseph, and quipped, "It's not a secret, I'm sure you've already guessed it, why do you even ask me...?" ”

Hearing this, he raised his hand to cover his head, and opened his mouth to confirm: "Really want to use... Fifty years? ”

"yes. This equipment will have to fit the soldiers of the entire empire, because I am not going to separate the military and the police! Once the country returns to its prime, we will need about 12 million soldiers to maintain law and order in such a large territory, and if we want to unify the world... Needed something more..."

Joseph touched his head and stared at Ted for ten seconds before he shuddered and asked, "Sir, I don't quite understand your ideals, why do you want to be obsessed with unifying the world?" ”

"Because I'm going to integrate resources...!" As he spoke, Ted took out a book of astronomy and handed it to Joseph: "My dear brother-in-law, don't think that the world is one... And don't think that our enemies are all that's right in front of them... In the North, only about 20 people have read astronomy books, and I don't really want people to know about it! Now the development is out of balance, if there is a 'sea of stars', the country will be completely chaotic... Look at our military equipment to think it is modern, but otherwise ... It's no different from the Dark Ages, and we'll have to balance technology quickly before we can continue this..."

Ted has a point, and the higher-ups in the North are aware of the problem... When the members of the scientific research team successively won the first-class title, they began to give them new topics to make up for other technical vacancies...

"I understand, then I'll do as you say when I get back..."

"No problem..."

If it were someone else, Ted would have found a way to fool the past, but Joseph will be his brother-in-law in the future, and he will be a family, so there is no need to hide it from him, and besides, this matter itself is not a secret, everyone will know sooner or later...

Let insiders know earlier and make it easier to work later.

...

Early the next morning...

Steve set off in a new RV from the North... Galen had his travel plans pushed to noon because the new guard was not ready.

At the same time, he also took out a piece of his land outside the imperial capital and gave it to Ted as an airport.

Because when Galen saw this thing, he knew that he would often come into contact with airplanes in the future, anyway, he was already planning to be a tool man, so it was better to perform his duties well, and then he could borrow Ted's hand to realize his dream, which was a 'win-win'!

During the time he stayed at the northern airport, he was not idle, he was forcibly dragged away by a group of staff wearing chemical protective suits, washed clean, and smeared with special skin care products!

This time, he will also stay in the RV when he leaves, which is a little gift from Ted after Galen's 'submission'.

"Ahem... Please remember, Your Highness Galen, don't blindly believe in any God, you also heard my father-in-law say, these are all made up, I know for you, it's hard to believe for a while, because you have been poisoned by this thing since you were a child, but I give you enough time to think slowly, think with intelligence, don't blindly obey..."

"To put it another way, he is in a way, a person, that is, would you rather be the grandson of an ethereal person, or would you like to join us and become more NB! Or even ride on his head and? ”

To be a fool and to know the answer to the question, the difference between being a grandson and recognizing a grandson... Everybody knows: "This... Mr. Ted, I find your analogy always wonderful, like the apple pie in Aunt Susan's oven in the Gobi Mountains, no one knows if he's good or not, but always wants to see it..."

"It's a joke... His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the time is almost up, I wish you a happy journey~ Because I still have a lot of things to do... I won't wait for you to be ready for the convoy..."

At the time of parting, according to the etiquette of the Empire, the host must give some gifts, although this RV is a big gift... But that's not what Galen really wants!

He wanted to bring some 'northern specialties' back: "Uh... Wait a minute, Mr. Ted, I have one more thing to ask for..."

"Oh? Tell me..."

"Can you give me a gun?"

Ted once thought about this thing, but compared to the vehicle and the sword, this thing is not known, when the gift is given, it will cause a great instability, Ted can only refuse: "This... No way... Because you haven't passed the firearms test, I can't give it to you..."

"It's... I'm a royal after all..."

'Royalty' is just an excuse, Galen only wants what he wants, after all, he is a prince, and he is still one of the few fierce men among the princes who still loves to fight, from childhood to adulthood, what he wants! A must have!

It's just that Ted knows it very well! What you can't eat is the most fragrant, want to play with guns? Don't give! "Your Highness Galen, I know your feelings, but with all due respect, hot weapons such as guns are different from most swords, and they are easy to mess up without systematic learning, just like our army, before we get weapons... I have to train full-time for at least half a month before I can touch a gun..."

"That's... Can I learn when I have the chance? ”

Ted's goal is to delay until he can be sure that he won't mess around and become a qualified tool man, and then he will issue permission: "No, because you're not yet a member of the Nock League or a bounty hunter hired by the Nock League... I can't get a gun license for the time being..."

"Well... At least I have guards with guns to protect me..."

Speaking of which, Galen also understood what Ted meant!

This dangerous weapon in his own hands, at least for now, is not good for him!

At this time, the vehicle arrives and is assigning seats and explaining the precautions.

And Galen looked at their costumes and remembered what he had seen along the way...

To satisfy his curiosity, Galen tentatively asked, "Mr. Ted, how many troops do you have?" ”

"Twenty thousand..."

"Twenty thousand? Sir, don't tease me, I'm going to wear a pair of pants with you right now, and I still have to hide it? ”

The 'army' is indeed only 20,000, but if you ask about the armed forces, then it is not necessarily...

"Your Highness, I didn't hide it, you asked me how many troops I have? Indeed, I have only 20,000 troops..."

"But... I was sitting in the car just now, and when I was walking through the streets, I noticed that there were armed soldiers patrolling every street, and there were at least 3,000 of them all the way down, and with what I saw in the army, it was almost 10,000... I have been leading troops to fight all year round, and if this is the case, even if it is estimated that the weapon advantage is cut by half, the army will be about 15~250,000! ”

Seeing that the second prince didn't understand what he meant, Ted covered his mouth and pointed to the soldiers beside him and explained: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, you have misunderstood, I really only have 20,000 'army', which is in line with the laws of the empire..."

"That's... Well? As we talked, Galen noticed that the soldiers in the barracks were dressed like the people outside... It's a little different.

Ted realized this, and took the opportunity to explain: "What you see in the city is our militia in the north, but I don't like the word 'militia' very much, so I renamed this organization 'National Guard', which sounds more lofty..."

According to conventional thinking, the militia's equipment is not the same as that of the regular army, it is usually something that is eliminated by the regular army, tattered, but the 'militia' I just saw, the guy in his hand and the equipment on his body, is no different from the regular army...

"Uh... The militia and the regular army have the same equipment? ”

Ted smiled and spread his hands and talked about the laws of the Empire: "There is no law in the Empire that does not allow the militia and the regular army to use the same equipment, right?" ”

"It's... I don't think so...! ”

"So, I did come according to the laws of the Empire, you don't have to worry! Our emperor will not trouble me for this, or put a big hat on me for treason..."

"Ahem... In that case, then... Is it convenient to reveal the number of your troops? ”

"What's so inconvenient about that? These data are all open to the public, and Steve brought a document to the empire that clearly states that we have 20,000 troops, and about 210,000 militiamen, 230,000 in total..."

When he heard that there were only more than 700,000 people in the north, there were 230,000 armed forces, Galen almost laughed, such an armed force was not like the strength of a 'peace lover' like Ted: "Ahem... Mr. Tedder, I can finally understand what you mean, it seems that it is not difficult for you to overthrow the imperial regime, but fortunately you are a good person... I didn't just blow up a shell..."

"You're thinking too much... I'll refrain from using force against my own people, as I do now, and we're having a good conversation, aren't we? ”

"yes... Hahahaha! ”

At this time, the convoy is ready to go immediately!

"Alright, I've got everything ready, this gentleman is Major Benjamin, and for some time to come, he'll be your captain of the body..."

"Major...?"

"It's a military rank in our northern border, a rank above the rank of major, and it automatically earns the title of knight... The other guards are also the elite of the elite, this 120-person guard, can be tough 10,000 troops, this is still the premise that the enemy does not break up, if the enemy breaks and flees, it can only deal with more and not less, so when you encounter danger, don't panic, tell them, they will help you solve it..."

"I fully believe, please rest assured, sir, when I return, I will be full of my sincerity, and you will be satisfied."

"Then I'll see..."

"No problem, I wish you a good job, sir..."
