Section 218 Support (15)
Khorin looked at the portal without blinking.
In the temporary concession of Bofeng City, aliens and goods are constantly appearing in that portal.
The first aid promised by Solomon has already begun to arrive, and the aliens have come in two parts.
The first part is not the regular army of Asturias, but the security company created by the orcs, which is actually a new form of mercenary group, but if the orcs want to make a living in Asturias, they can only form a security company and obtain a security company license jointly issued by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense, otherwise it is illegal.
The main responsibility for the arrival of the security company is to defend this portal, and now there is no official concession to build a fortress, this portal must be defended, so the creation of the god company invited the orc security company.
Some forces that have close or friendly relations with Solomon are consciously or unconsciously organizing their interests to intersect with each other, such as the orcs, and the orcs' security company is an example.
If this trend continues, it will be the prototype of Kang Caien and form a community of relevant interests.
Of course, it is still very early to get to that point, and the real Kang Zeen is a combination of multiple enterprises belonging to different economic fields, usually with banks and other financial capital through participation in these different enterprises, such as holding a part of the shares, or these capitals rely on common financial capital to provide financing, so as to form a bond, enhance each other's advantages, and monopolize and manipulate the common oriented market, investment objectives, and raw material origins.
The second part of the people is not orcs, but mostly humans, but there are also some dwarves, half-orcs, wood elves and the like. The dwarves have probably come to serve as some mechanical and technical instructors. The orcs in Asturias are basically hardworking. They are considered to be the periphery of the security company, and when the security company goes on a mission, they are coolies and laborers, and sometimes they are even used as cannon fodder and auxiliaries.
The life of the orcs, the orcs in the west look up to the orcs, and the status in the east is higher than mine, because there are Auroras in the east to receive them.
But why are there so many orcs in the west, and even in the service of security companies? Very simple.
It is because of the development of the economy that the western orcs, under the leadership of Rhine and Wolff, hug the thighs of Asturias, and live a better life than the east, and even these half-orcs scattered in the west can also have a full stomach, as long as they are willing to obey the Western Beast Alliance, and then follow the Western Beast Alliance to serve Asturias.
The eastern orcs were accepted by the Aurora and had a higher political status than the western orcs, because the northern nobles were willing to use them to supplement their forces and continue to suppress the south.
But when it comes to being well-fed. Since the development of the Auroras is not as good as that of Asturias, even if the Orcs have national treatment in Aurora. But it's still not much stronger than the orcs in the east.
Of course, there is national treatment, it seems that this is worth the orcs to move to the past, but this is only a theoretical beauty, in fact, the orc tribes who migrated to the past will not only be enslaved by the eastern orcs, but also by the eastern counterparts who are also half-orcs ostracized and squeezed, even the Auroras will not give them the same treatment as the eastern counterparts; why, because the purpose of Zhenli accepting the orcs is only to suppress the south, and having the east is enough, and any more will become a problem.
Therefore, the orcs who had not had a good time in the past often ran back, preferring to cling to the orc tribes in the west and clinging to the thighs of Asturias.
Moreover, in recent years, the voices of the western orcs who have proposed to actively integrate into Asturias have become louder and louder, and even Wolf has formally proposed it to the parliament of Asturias once, but it has not been approved by the majority of the parliament;
With the above statement, it is understandable why there have been fewer and fewer so-called half-orcs "defectors" over the years, but many half-orcs who had fled to the east before have secretly fled back.
Among the people from Asturias are the Wood Elves, which also proves that the Wood Elves who were forcibly annexed by Asturian and dispersed separately have begun to integrate into this human society, whether they want to or not, because only in this way can they live, and if in a few decades, or even a hundred years, some of their persistence and signs may be weakened, and their indignation may no longer become an old scar, but a lesson in history textbooks.
And the Terrans among them are the most useful to Khorin, because they are the instructors.
The strength of these terrans is not as powerful as those orcs who serve as security guards.
But the purpose of their visit was to teach the people of the revolt in Bofeng to use the weapons they had transported, the firearms.
The wooden crates that had been carried out by the orcs contained firecrackers, ammunition, and even a few cannons.
"These rifles are for the citizens to use, they are instructors, and they will teach you how to use them as quickly as possible, but without queue training, you can only rely on defending in the city to inflict damage on the enemy, and you can't go out of the city to fight, otherwise there will be huge casualties even if you don't lose. Solomon said to Khorin.
"Can these things really help us hold Bofeng City?" Khorin was a little unconvinced.
He casually picked up the gun in a box and lifted it heavily.
He preferred the other things that Solomon had brought with him, which were the various constructs made by the Asturian builders to help those of the rank like the Blood Griffin members improve their strength or add some kind of ability, and they were in a state of suspicion about these guns.
"Those constructs are for you to increase your combat power, but Bofeng City is more of an ordinary person, or a militia that is slightly stronger than ordinary people. The surest way to defend this city is for you to choose the first path, and as long as you choose that path, I will lobby for the powerful forces to support you. Directly send troops to protect Bofeng City for you. and even expand the scope of Bofeng City's rule. It's a pity that you have to give up. Solomon smiled, but his voice didn't sound like any regret, as if he had asked Kelholin to choose between an apple and a pear, and the other had chosen an apple over a pear.
Khorin was silent, he could not accept the first path before, which was tantamount to taking the initiative to invite the Asturians to come to this world, and the concession area mentioned in the conditions was many times the area of the current one. It is also an unequal privilege.
For example, under the present conditions, if a person in the concession commits a crime against the inhabitants of Bofeng City, a joint court can be formed to try it, and the law of the Yaman Republic and the customs of the mainland of Falmalik are also decided to apply the law of the Yaman Republic and the customs of the mainland of Falmalik at the insistence of Kehorin, but if the first way is agreed, and the people in the concession have committed a crime, they must be handed over to a single trial led by the consul of the concession, and the city of Bofeng may not be detained and disposed of, even if the sentence is pronounced and the punishment is executed. For example, the prisoners will also be brought back to the country for execution, and the applicable law will be governed by Asturian law.
And now, although a piece of land has been sold as a future concession. Ceded part of the rights, but if it can be exchanged for the independence of Bofeng City, Kehorin can barely accept it, and the current conditions are understood by the residents of Bofeng City, after all, now there is such a big trouble, the whole city is against it, the empire will definitely come to crusade, this is the future that everyone knows, and it is almost impossible to think that you will be safe without paying a little price.
In exchange for Solomon's support and help, and now in trade and exchange for the weapons they had promised, the people of Bofeng defended their rights and interests with their lives and blood against the tyranny of the Apuro Empire, and in Khorin's view, this was the only thing to insist on, rather than to take refuge in the aliens.
Relying on aliens in an all-round way, that is to lure the wolf into the house, will only make the other party put forward more and more unequal conditions, if it is not for the great crisis that Bofeng City is facing now, even if it is the current conditions, Ke Helin will not agree on behalf of Bofeng City.
From impulsively attacking to save Ma Shiwen to now expelling the imperial garrison, the Noriega blood in his body seems to be awakening, which is not only strength, but also the recovery of courage and responsibility, and the awakening of a leader is not the same as the choice he would make when he was the leader of a mercenary squad.
The others were also trying their best to help him and support him, Ma Shiwen was assisting him, and the other members of the Blood Griffin Squad were not so determined about Bofeng City, but they were also willing to take risks in this game with the Empire for the sake of the friendship they had lived and died with him for many years, or for the benefits if they really succeeded.
After a few days, some of Khorin's worries faded considerably.
Because he saw the power of the musket displayed by the instructor in the training of the citizens.
The power of the musket did not pose much of a threat to a strong man of his level, and if there was a threat, it would take a volley of no small order of magnitude of muskets to be able to hurt him.
But for ordinary people or low-level creatures, it is a mortal threat, although the threat of one or two muskets to the mid-level people is limited, but if it reaches a salvo of different orders of magnitude, its danger level will increase by geometric numbers, which makes Khorin a little more confident.
However, Solomon also repeatedly reminded Kehorin and the inhabitants of the city that they had too little time, and even if the time period required to develop combat power by musket shooting was shorter than that of archers and the like in the past, it was necessary to strengthen discipline in order to truly form a combat force that could fight head-on.
The biggest difference between the modern army and the ancient army in the world he traveled through was that the high degree of discipline that emerged from industrial production reached a degree of harshness, but it was this rigor that gave rise to reliable team combat, which could maximize both the concentration of attacks and the flexible use of tactics.
And the residents of Bofeng City said earlier that in such a short period of time, it would be good for the militia they organized to learn to shoot and reload, and it would definitely be too late to train in the queue or anything, and it would be better to use their urgent spirit of protecting the Acropolis than to make a half-heart, which can also give birth to their brave fighting spirit, but they may be lacking in cooperation and fire.
But it is not irreparable, and there is no way to buy more time to prepare, so you can only try to let the enemy fight on the designated battlefield.
There is no queue training, but if the residents are guarding under the city defense, they can make up for the disadvantage to a large extent. (To be continued......)
