Section 92 Meetings (II)
Perhaps the others also remembered this, Philip and Regina glanced at each other, and both saw the bitter smile and helplessness in each other's eyes, but hesitated for a moment, but kept their mouths shut, and did not immediately speak to Edward about it.
"Young mage, this is really a radical way of doing this, have you ever thought that it might backfire and give other countries and churches more reason to deal with us?" spoke Mansfil, who looked even older than Regina and was the current Minister of Defense of Asturias.
"Dear Sir Mansfield, there is no good thing in this world that wants to win without hard work and without risk. Solomon replied.
Mansfield nodded, "Well, even if we are willing to take this risk, then you are sure that you can hire a large number of orcs? The orc tribes that can directly withstand teleportation to the other plane should only be Rhine, Tygo, Kau, Bill, and Wolf. ”
Mansfield, as the secretary of defense, skillfully listed the suitable targets.
Although there are many tribes of acquaintances, and some tribes are completely strong enough to be transported through guò without any protection, but like the Orephin Elephant is an important force to defend the Tianhuo Plateau, almost the most powerful guard in the hands of the Beamon royal family, and the number is scarce; the Hawk Hawk is a fourth-order, and has the advantage of flying, but they have always been alone, and they may not listen to all the words of the Tianhuo Plateau; the Kadil Le and Srek are afraid that Solomon will not dare to hire, one of these two tribes is known for its ferocity, and the other is one of the two major assassin tribes of the orcs (the other is the Kate who are rich in thieves and assassins), and they have always been secretive, and is far more hostile to the Terrans than the other orcs.
Others, such as the Munks, the Dougs, the Boai, and the Rites, are quite numerous, but the individual body elements are only a little stronger than the human race, and it is unlikely that they can be transmitted through guò without effective protection, unless they are completely disregarded for life and death as Solomon did when he transports dwarven slaves.
"Solomon, how are you doing in the new plane you are opening up now?" said Edward.
"It's almost time to stabilize dìng. Solomon replied vaguely.
"Then, let me help you, just take it as the support of the royal family. Edward smiled suddenly, "But you know the current situation, I can't give you much in-kind support, including Voltaire, who was sent to you before, will soon be transferred, and Yugudral's ironclad regiment needs him." ”
Solomon grinned in his heart, "This is also called support, and before he can give anything, he will take it first."
"But I can give you a name and the right to form a legion to participate in the foreign wars of the kingdom, no matter what tribe the legion is, as long as you can do it, this legion will be under your command, and on the day the legion is formed, I will promote you to viscount. Edward said slowly.
"Isn't this too hasty?" said Benjamin.
"If the Disraeli family is willing to form a legion for you, I will allow you to become the commander of this legion and be included in the order of the official legions of the kingdom. Edward's expression remained unchanged.
Benjamin and Osteen were speechless, the Disraeli family also had their own private soldiers, and their secret strength was not weak, and they might not be as good as one of the six major legions of the kingdom, but they were not inferior to the second-tier legions stationed in a big city and responsible for an area, and they were even better in high-level warriors, because this kind of second-tier legion usually only had the commander of the legion who could be a high-level warrior, or a warrior close to a high-level soldier.
Only the six legions of the kingdom have more than one high-end combat power in them.
For example, Modo's White Feather Legion, there are four high-level soldiers, and Asturias will only be stronger than it, like the ironclad regiment just mentioned, it is actually only a part of the large army that guards the royal family, but it is such a sub-regiment that is mainly hoplite, and its main and deputy commanders are all high-level soldiers, and the deputy commander is Voltaire.
But whether it is Benjamin's Disraeli family or Austin's Childers family, it is impossible to form another legion for the two of them, even if this legion is only at the level of the second-tier legion, not because they don't want to, but because they can't afford it.
Solomon is also smiling bitterly, Edward is learning from Chairman Chiang, only give a letter of appointment, appoint you as a so-and-so security regiment, and then be loyal to the party-state, maintain law and order on the spot, stop the bandits, and then the rest is yours, including the army and soldiers.
However, this did give Solomon a chance, not everyone can become a legion commander so easily, plus further noble titles, today Edward promised to grant Solomon the title of Baron after the meeting, if he does this again, he can jump another level and become a viscount.
Benjamin and Austin are also viscounts, but they are from extraordinary backgrounds, they are the heirs of the Disraeli family and the Childers family, and will become the Marquis of Disraeli and the Marquis of Childes in the future, while Solomon was just a commoner a few years ago, and it is no wonder that they have the opportunity to climb to the same level as them.
If Solomon is really able to do this, he will have a certain amount of military power in his hands, plus the title of a viscount, if there is another territory, it will only be a name, and it is easy to be suppressed by people with his identity, and the others are similar to the earl.
Of course, this matter must not be easy, and the kingdom will not give anything, only a certificate of appointment.
Otherwise, Benjamin and Austin didn't fight hard to grab it, and they would have gagged Edward with a word.
Even if it is a second-line army, it will have to invest a lot of costs at the beginning of its establishment, and if it is to be stored all the time after that, it will also require high costs.
Edward promised that if Solomon could be successfully formed, he could save the zài in the kingdom as an official sequence, which meant that the kingdom could get future military funds to maintain the number of the legions.
But like Benjamin and Disraeli all know that the kingdom's military spending is definitely tilted towards the elite main force of the six major legions, and the second-line legions can often get insufficient, so the combat power of the troops is also very empty.
And if combined with the topics discussed by everyone before, Edward added that the soldiers in the legion can be of any race, which is equivalent to acquiescing to Solomon to recruit a large number of orcs for the development of the Black Rock Plane and the future participation in the wars of Yugudral and Farushion.
Of course, this is a great opportunity, and it can even soar into the sky, if it were not for the difficulties already mentioned above, and there is also a fatal place, everyone present would think that Edward was extremely partial to Solomon and deliberately promoted.
There is also a fatal place, that is, even Edward publicly promised that after the successful formation of the legion, it can be included in the official royal ** team sequence, if Solomon is really successful, the problem is that the orcs will participate as mercenaries for a long time, until the end of the war, but why did Solomon maintain such a legion after the war.
This is not only something that can be solved by increasing military spending by paying for it, but also by the orcs, as the main force of the legion, how can they be stationed in the city of the human race in the future after the war is over.
Even if the local area can tolerate it, the orcs themselves may not be able to stay, if they can't stay, the main force of this legion will be disbanded, and the legion number will have to be revoked.
In other words, even if Edward made a promise, the nature of the legion itself determined that it would become a temporary legion, and the command of a temporary legion was certainly not worth fighting for by Benjamin and Austin.
Solomon didn't immediately refuse, but thought for a moment before saying, "If I try to form such an army, and the kingdom can't support me in large quantities in kind, can you give me some other support?"
"For example?" Mansfield asked, no one cared more about what Solo wanted than his Secretary of Defense.
"If I were to form such a legion, the orcs would definitely ask me for a large amount of Mithril coins before they could agree, because this was one of the valid rewards they were willing to receive, so I would ask for permission to exchange Mithril coins from the kingdom at that time. ”
"Your Majesty, this, the kingdom will have some financial difficulties, and the Mithril coins and other rare magic consumables collected in the treasury before are mainly used to pay the magicians. Regina gave Solomon a hard look and had to speak.
This time, Asturias was divided into two parts in the Alien Plane, each of which resisted more than two countries at the same time, one because the other party did not come from the country, and the other reason was that it had the full support of almost all the magicians in the country, including the second branch of the Wizards' Guild in Asturias.
So even the magic academy was suspended, because whether it was close to the royal family or friendly with the Duke's faction, or the magicians affiliated with the Wizards' Guild, they all took action, and the Magicians' Guild received a reward for Mithril coinage, in addition to rare magic consumables.
"No problem, as long as you can do it. Edward unexpectedly agreed, "Even if the treasury runs out of Mithril coinage, there are still a few Mithril mines in Asturias, and the reason why Eugudral and Farusion are coveted by other countries and are driven by the Church is because of the abundance of minerals that exist there." As long as you can get something of equal value, the ore can be sold directly to you and let you mint coins. ”
"What kind of support do you want?" Edward asked rhetorically, and Edward's cheerfulness made Benjamin and Austin jealous again.
"I also need to allow the establishment of mutual markets with orc tribes on the border in the future, and allow orcs with property to live in human cities and become citizens of the kingdom. ”
This time, even Edward was surprised, and said with a surprised smile: "You don't want to turn a certain tribe of orcs into a part of the kingdom, even if we are willing, it is impossible for the Heavenly Fire Plateau to allow this kind of thing to happen." ”
Solomon took a deep breath, as if he didn't understand the warning in Edward's words, and said lightly: "If His Majesty can agree, then I will try it after the development of the Black Rock Plane enters the stable dìng." ”
