Cosma Empire

v1 Chapter 105: Local guard

Sometimes Mr. Kesma is really interesting because he doesn't behave like a farmer in duty. It may cause misunderstanding to use the word duty here, but it is the case.

For example, when Du Lin, who has been "flying yellow Tengda", took out five thousand yuan to ask Mr. Kesma to help him with a "little favor", he might not have seen Mr. Kesma with such a large sum of money in his life without a trace of excitement His hand did not even tremble, just like it was not five thousand on the table, but fifty, or five dollars. His eyes only stayed on that pile of banknotes for about 0.5 seconds, and he returned to Du Lin's face without any reluctance.

"What do you want me, the farmer to do for you?", Mr. Kesma shifted his buttocks backwards to make the back fit more closely to the back of the rattan chair and straighten his sitting position.

Du Lin was organizing the language. During this time in the city, he understood a truth. Sometimes the word truth contained more than the literal interpretation of the word. To put it simply, money, people, power, Everything that can be turned into practical benefits, such as status and prestige, can be described by the word reason. When the social class and hard and soft power of two people are almost the same, "reason" can be "spoken" by mouth. At other times, as long as there is an inequality in one aspect, it is likely that "reason" is not used to say Yes, but done.

How can I improve my "reason" level?

Doolin has considered many aspects, such as the white gloves that have become a major figure like Wood and Gordor, or become "scavengers" specializing in dirty work, but these ways not only require him to have stronger strength and power It also takes time to accumulate. Trusting a person is by no means a matter of three or five days, or three or five sentences. It takes a long time to accumulate. The opposite of it is that it only takes a moment to destroy them.

What Du Lin needs is a solid foundation, not such a pavilion on the water.

He wants Mr. Kesma to help buy another sheriff in the town—it can be read as a sheriff. During the Patriotic War, that is, during the Civil War, in order to effectively resist the all-pervasive federal army, the empire followed the advice of the Prime Minister at the time and gave all places the power to form guards. Here, it refers to the countryside, such as the town, or It's the village. The ultimate executor of this order is the sheriffs of the towns, who will become the leaders and commanders of the local guards. And the empire has opened up another authority for these sheriffs.

They can buy standard rifles, even war machines and weapon platforms, at the Armament Agency with low prices.

This policy worked wonders in the war. It turns out that the richer the more afraid they are to die. In the early days of the war, the nobles still occupied a large part of the empire's land. They were the land in the actual sense. the Lord. At the same time, these nobles were also brought to the forefront of the war, or "donate money" to the sheriff to form local guards and buy weapons and other higher-level armed forces for them to resist invaders who may appear anytime, anywhere.

Either he flees the imperial capital honestly, and then receives the tragedy that the territory is swept up by the war and the wealth and real estate are plundered and destroyed.

So at that time many nobles gritted their teeth and took out large sums of money to arm the local guards. Many of the local guards on the noble territory with a long history are more armed than even the regular Imperial Army. .

but!

They were pitted.

As the new decree issued by the Imperial Emperor, the Special Requisition Act during the Patriotic War, was passed in the Imperial City, a large number of local guards armed to the teeth were reassigned to form a regular army, which means that the Empire used the nobles to assemble the military Fight without paying any price. Although many nobles have a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction with this, considering the consequences of the failure of the war, they can only break their teeth and swallow their stomachs, but also show a "I am willing to pay for the Empire Everything "expression.

之后 After the war, a large number of troops formed by the nobles, as well as Guarts and provincial yamen were damaged on the battlefield, and the class contradictions that were about to erupt were immediately subsided. At the same time, according to the narrative of conspiracy theorists, the imperial royal family colluded with the New Party and betrayed the nobles, completely ending the feudal monarchy that had lasted for hundreds of years. The inducement of all this lies in the imperial royal family's tough use of such policies and special wartime laws from the nobles during the war, plundering too much wealth and materials, and making the nobles dissatisfied.

Regardless of the factors that affect the cause and the result, the decree issued by the local guard during the war seems to have been forgotten ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ has not been cancelled because of the end of the war, and it is still the same It can be implemented in accordance with the laws and regulations at that time.

There is another issue involved here. Since there are loopholes that can be drilled, are all the tycoons and bigwigs drilling this loophole?

The answer is no. Although the special decree in wartime has not been canceled, many restrictions were added to this decree after the New Party came to power after the war. For example, the number of local guards in each town during the war was not allowed to exceed seven. Individuals must not be equipped with more than three rifles. They are not allowed to purchase or house any war machine or weapon platform. These high-powered lethal weapons have strict restrictions. At the same time, agents of the Imperial Police Investigation Bureau are patrolling the entire empire, and local gendarmerie teams are also investigating such violations.

So no matter how much money the big brothers spend, it is meaningless. With this money, it is better to feed a group of fierce thugs.

Can there really be no further loopholes in this decree?

In fact, this is not the case. According to the "Rights and Duties of Non-war Local Guards", when "harmful" beasts appear around towns and villages, it is necessary for the guards to ensure the safety of citizens' private property and civil rights are not violated. , Need to take the initiative to annihilate these "harmful" beasts.

Sometimes, whether there are any "harmful" beasts, it is up to the sheriff!

There are not many seven people, but if these seven people are surprise soldiers and have three rifles, the effect that can be achieved is by no means as simple as "seven people".

Imagine that the two sides are evenly matched, and even Du Lin is almost close. At this time, a seven-man squad who spends every day in militarized training launches an attack from behind each other with a rifle. This is absolutely terrible!
