Chapter 102: Distribution of Equipment (1)
Mo Xuan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Have you ever wondered if there will be a shortage of food in the Kingdom of Mali?"
"Of course there will be a shortage of food, is there a place in this world where there is no shortage of food?" The subordinates slandered in their hearts, in this era when chemical pesticides have not been used, if you want a bumper harvest, it depends on God's meaning, but in recent years, God is not very interesting, although there is no catastrophe, but when it should rain, it is not raining, and when it should be sunny, it is not sunny, which makes the farmers who farm the land sad.
As soon as he looked at the expressions of his subordinates, Mo Xuan knew that he was an idiot asking his question, but after being a superior for so long, Mo Xuan also learned the style of some superiors, and saw Mo Xuan say without changing his face: "Okay! This question is too simple, so do you know where the kingdom of Mali is most short of food now?"
Some of them have stopped everyone, and if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, and in the past half a year, Flame City has very little contact with the outside world, so there is very little news from the outside world, and talking nonsense without intelligence will lower his image in the eyes of everyone.
"Then let me tell you, the place where food is most scarce is the troops around the Bridge of Life. Mo Xuan finished this sentence word by word.
The Bridge of Life, a bridge connecting the kingdoms of Mali and the kingdoms of Moon, has not yet been measured, but the narrowest part of the River of Life is also more than 10,000 meters away, you can imagine how spectacular this bridge is. What shocked Mo Xuan the most was that the bridge was a chain bridge, that is, a bridge connected to both sides of the river with iron chains, and wooden planks were laid on the iron chains to allow people to pass through.
What Mo Xuan couldn't figure out was that in this world where even basic culture was not popularized, who built such a bridge that was completely impossible to exist on the earth.
And this bridge is the bridge of life between the kingdoms of Mali and the kingdoms of Moon, through which the soldiers of both countries can quickly attack each other's land. I don't know what the bridge builders thought, but the two sides of the bridge are plains and there is no danger to defend, so the soldiers of the two countries are stationed on both sides of the bridge every year to prevent invasion.
"How is this possible. ”
"It's, it's that it's a place to guard against the invasion of the Moons, so how can there be a shortage of food. ”
"It is said that one-third of the kingdom's grain is hoarded there. ”
"Not only that, as soon as the war comes, a steady stream of food from the rear will be mobilized there, how can there be a shortage of food. ”
"Moreover, the territories near the Life Bridge are all well-known and wealthy nobles in the kingdom, if the Life Bridge camp is broken, their losses will be great, and I think they will definitely give a lot of aid there. ”
・・・・・・
There were more and more voices of opposition, and Mo Xuan had to interrupt them: "Guys, I didn't say that what is lacking there is staple food, and it's true that Lifebridge hoards a lot of food, but how do they hoard vegetables? You must know that there are usually 100,000 elite troops stationed there, and there will be more troops stationed in wartime, and the grain is easy to transport, but what about vegetables?"
An official who suddenly came to his senses was ecstatic and said, "The lord means that he wants us to transport canned food over and sell it as vegetables. ”
Mo Xuan nodded appreciatively, the official looked happy, he knew that he had entered Mo Xuan's eyes, no matter how much this impression was, at least he had an impression: "That's what I mean, the storage period of our canned food can be preserved for a year with the technical support of alchemists such as Ge Qi, which is incomparable to any vegetable, this is our advantage, I think they will need these canned food very much." ”
"But military procurement requires a strong relationship to get in, and we've never been in contact with that side, so how can we get the troops over there to buy our cans?" Benedict then asked another question.
Everyone looked at Mo Xuan with Xi Yi's eyes.
Mo Xuanang turned around without seeing it, and continued to play the role of Shen, but said in his mouth: "This little thing will trouble me, how do you subordinates handle it, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Everyone's faces turned red, what Mo Xuan said was right, his subordinates were the role of helping the lord share his worries, but now they didn't play this role very well.
While everyone was still thinking, Mo Xuan had already quietly left.
On the way, Mo Xuan quietly wiped his sweat while putting away his palpitating expression: "In other words, although I'm not an idiot in politics, this kind of game of people playing people is too brain-consuming, so let's change my subordinates to have a headache!"
In a few days, it will be the time for the caravan to depart, and today is also a special day, today is the day when the army of Flame City will change their clothes.
On the field of lieutenant colonels, the soldiers were lined up in a phalanx, as if they had been measured with a ruler.
Although the weather was still a little cold, no one spoke to the soldiers standing in the school yard with cold weapons in hand, even the soldiers who had been training in Flame City for a short time.
The hearts of the soldiers are all fiery, not for the weapons, but to be able to see Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan is a great hero in the eyes of the barbarians and in the hearts of human soldiers, and his prestige is amazing.
And the reason why soldiers don't pay attention to weapons is that according to convention, soldiers' weapons are not good weapons, especially soldiers in the hands of lords, so to speak, are enhanced farmers, and a blunt-edged spear head inserted into a simple wooden stick is the standard configuration of some lord's soldiers.
If it weren't for Mo Xuan's prestige, to be honest, these soldiers really didn't want to come here to suffer, and it would be good to rest or exercise in the camp tent in the cold weather.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch. "The carriage with the steel plates installed with the bullet was constantly screaming under the bumps of the small stones, making it seem that the carriage would fall apart in the next moment.
And there are still many of these ** cars, lined up in a long line, entering the school yard at a turtle speed.
With the sound of wood colliding with the earth, hundreds of boxes were neatly placed in front of the soldiers.
Although they were all gathered in the school grounds, it was not a major event such as a military parade now, so Mo Xuan did not speak, and ordered Aldridge to stand on the high platform and look at the soldiers below after he started.
"Today is the day when you are sending out equipment, to be honest, I am jealous of you, there is such a good treatment. As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the soldiers below burst into laughter. They didn't think about the equipment, they thought that Aldridge was talking about Mo Xuan, so their chests straightened after laughing.
Aldridge waited for the soldiers to finish laughing before he spoke again: "I won't say more nonsense, the hundred-man team I read below came up to collect your equipment, and the first brigade of the car regiment ・・・・・・." ”
