Black Iron Crown

Chapter 547: Army slack

   No one knows what Mekasha is thinking. The Lord of the Kingdom of Bazaran and Elmaru have been working hard to digest the territories wounded from the empire.

   The development of the North Territory was as stable as ever. Under the supervision of Reiner, the vinegar was finally successfully produced more than a year later.

   At this time, it is July of the 30th year of the empire.

   It's been eleven years since Leiner, 27 years old, came to this world. After a lot of hard work, he finally got his current status.

   Now the northern border has become more and more prosperous. The cold is no longer an obstacle to the production of the people. Towns and cities have risen from the ground, and businessmen are running around seeking their own interests.

The population under his control is also increasing. The population produced by the Refugee Taiwan, the population from various places who have gone to the north to make a living because of the war, and the population sold by slave traders from all over to Lena, besides When Rainer signed a treaty with the Empire, the remaining 50,000 people were also brought into his hands through diplomatic means.

   Coupled with the natural growth of the local population, the population of the northern border has now reached 350,000.

   However, Rainer did not expand the army again. Our Grand Duke has been training these veterans after filling up the current army. He does not want to burden the residents too much.

   It is a better choice to set aside more population for production. He is only 27 years old now, and he will grow up in the days to come. Only by laying a solid foundation can he have more powerful strength.

   What's more, Rainer himself is not idle. He gathers men of the right age together and conducts some militia training during the slack period to give them the initial combat capability. This is enough.

   When there is a real need for a large number of soldiers, Rainer will naturally draw from these militias, and it only takes less than a year to make them qualified soldiers.

   The first half of the boys are now grown up. They are the group of people who are most enthusiastic about joining the army.

   The young boy always wants to use his long sword to make merits on the battlefield and become a glorious knight. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s a good choice to be a brave warrior.

   The salaries and high benefits of the army make joining the army a popular choice for everyone.

  Rainer knows that a country that does not value the military cannot guarantee its own safety. If its soldiers do not have a sense of honor and are ashamed of this profession, then don't expect any combat effectiveness at all.

  Rainer will never let his soldiers become a band of thieves that everyone despise. It is necessary to give them high welfare, high salary and high status.

   What's more, in such a chaotic era, everyone who possesses force has a transcendent position. This needless to say.

   Even if it is a group of bandits, in the eyes of some lords, their status is even higher than that of their own people, because they possess force.

   In other areas, even if the salaries of soldiers are not high, the welfare is not good, but as long as they are serving the lord, then they can extortion and kidnap, and even if they are robbed, no one will dare to resist.

Rainer’s income is getting higher and higher. So much income is not used for army expansion, but for the construction of towns and road planning. This makes his lords very confused. Even the Earl of Pushtown cannot understand this. .

  Earl Chollar is even more so. The current Earl Chollar is in the city of Mecalon. He has recently discovered that his soldiers have become more and more corrupt.

Unlike other lords, he can still bring his army to pay to maintain combat effectiveness when he is free. Because his territory is close to the north, Reiner often sends troops to sweep the mountains and old forests. Now he has even the bandits and bandits. I can't see it anymore.

   After three years of peace, he is now wondering whether these fat-hearted soldiers will be able to pick up long swords when the war breaks out.

   So he planned to go to Mekalong City to learn from Rainer and see how to maintain the fighting strength and fighting spirit of the army.

   "Okay, don't be squeaky in front of me, can you just go to my barracks and have a look, I will give you a license document, and you can go now!"

  Rainer was so annoyed by Count Jolar, rubbing his hair and said annoyedly.

   Count Cholar didn't care at all, and said with a hippy smile like a hob meat: "Don't be angry, I'm just curious, why your army can maintain combat effectiveness without war for three years."

   "What's curious about this, I never seem to forbid you to visit my barracks?" Rainer gave Count Jolar a weird look.

"It's just training. Training from morning to night, without letting them stop for a moment, this is the secret of non-decreasing combat effectiveness. Do you have any questions?" Rainer sat on the chair and picked up a knight novel helplessly Said to Earl Jolar.

   "In that case..." the earl of Jolar said in a period of time: "In that case, it is really expensive. According to your training, you must have at least two meals a day. That's too expensive..."

  Rainer didn't expect that Earl Chollar would actually confuse such a reason for a long time, which is really unacceptable.

   He slapped the book on the table in annoyance, and pointed to Earl Jolar’s ​​nose and shouted: "Fuck off, don't want to spend money and want combat effectiveness, what is the difference between you and you want to live if you are too tired to breathe?"

  Leiner is really mad at the earl of Jolar~lightnovelpub.net~ With so much money to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the army, come and tell me now, is there any way to maintain combat effectiveness without spending money?

   What if you have a turn to say? I can't use it myself?

   Count Choral could only leave Rainer's study in a desperate manner, grabbed one of the guards and asked him to take him to the barracks in Mekalong City.

   In the military camp outside the city, the shouts of the soldiers shook the sky. Two thousand four hundred soldiers and eight hundred Morande sergeants were training in this military camp.

   The enthusiasm of this enthusiastic atmosphere made Earl Jolar a burst of enthusiasm. These soldiers were wearing the usual double armor, and that was more than that, they were carrying a small backpack behind them.

   Judging from the fullness, this backpack weighs at least ten kilograms.

   Now they are carrying out heavy gun assassination training, and they are all burdened with a total weight of at least forty kilograms, but they are still tirelessly practicing inhumane practice.

   Judging from the drops of sweat dripping on the ground, this group of soldiers is never easy to face such training, but none of them can't hold on, not even those who discuss and complain.

   Their idea is very simple. Now that they have undergone more painful training, it will be more difficult to die on the battlefield in the future, and it will be easier to gain glory and merit.

   What's more, it is only natural to serve as a soldier and eat food. The benevolent and generous Grand Duke gave himself and the others such a high salary and such good treatment, and it is reasonable for his desperate training to repay the Grand Duke.
