Master of Thermodynamics - Chapter 516
Chapter 514 Cheating everyone’s hard-earned money
The military expenses of nearly 60,000 Kinnars paid by the nobles were just half-paid and was squandered by Renault at a staggering speed.
To be precise, it should have been moved to the treasury of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, it was also included in the Chamber’s turnover this month.
80% of the cost is used to purchase weapons and equipment produced by Hai Chao Ling, which have already been transported to Copernicus Port by the trading fleet, waiting for this transaction.
Renault even brazenly increased the selling price of the equipment by 10% on the grounds that the quantity was huge and the delivery date was too urgent.
However, everyone had to pinch their noses to recognize this shameless approach.
There is no way to deny it, because this is the correct posture to hold the thigh.
Since there is a desire to be subordinate, he must take the initiative to give up the biggest piece of benefit, otherwise the ghost is willing to be a black orc, a noble who does not understand the exchange of benefits, is not a qualified noble.
In addition, Renault also bought a lot of messy things.
Such as soap.
Renault said that this is an important washing product. An army that can’t even wash clothes is not a qualified army.
Another example is toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Renault said that this is a key sanitary product. An army that does not pay attention to personal hygiene is also not a qualified army.
In short, as long as it is owned by Haichao and is also a commodity that can be used by the army, he has not let it go. If it is not for insufficient funds, he will definitely replace this army with Haichao brand products from head to toe, and the price is all. Higher than the market price.
He said that this kind of fair chance to make a fortune would only be missed by a fool, so he did it unscrupulously and brazenly.
The nobles can only complain wildly in their hearts for this kind of “spending money.”
Fuck, everyone has never heard of munitions and soap and toothpaste. Even if they are needed, they are only used by officers at most. Why did you purchase the soldiers’ share?
Besides, for so many years, soldiers did not wash their clothes with soap and brush their teeth without toothpaste. Isn’t it the same war?
Mianxia, are you really okay for you to cheat everyone’s hard-earned money so naked?
However, the hypocritical nobles still endured it. On the surface, they didn’t care about it and said that you are free, and if the money is not enough, we can raise…er, raise a fart.
The nobles are not fat sheep. They are all stingy and stingy. Before seeing the first victory, no matter how big the fist under the crown is, it is absolutely impossible to take out even a copper nar from their pockets.
In the term of venture capital, the financing of the formation of the aristocratic coalition is merely an angel round of financing.
If the war is well fought and everyone is satisfied, then there will be follow-up round A financing, and Renault will continue to make money from it.
If the battle is great, rounds B and C are not a problem, and Renault can be even better.
All in all, depending on the performance, you will get rewards if you win, but if you lose… Let’s get out of here.
In a small town 4 kilometers north of Copernicus, since the third day, soldiers from various aristocratic territories began to arrive in the town one after another. They did not even have time to rest, so they fell into the island guard team. In the “devil’s palm”.
That’s right, it’s the clutch.
For these poor soldiers, the training they received is simply the training of the devil.
“Everyone has it, run 10 laps around the training ground!”
On a training ground that had just been built, an instructor, the island guard, shouted sharply.
More than two hundred soldiers straightened their chests immediately and shouted:
“Yes!”
They must answer loudly, otherwise they will be considered by the instructor to be weak and not strong enough, which will directly lead to another serious consequence-doubling the punishment.
In other words, originally only needed to run 5 laps, now it will become 10 laps.
In the words of the instructor, the thinner the person, the more rigorous the training, otherwise going to the battlefield is tantamount to death.
“Move me up, speed up…”
“If anyone dares to be lazy, I will make someone look good…”
“Now that the sweat on the training ground is one point more, the probability of survival is even greater. You trash, thank you for taking the time to train you…”
The two instructors each rode a magic iron horse, chasing the soldiers like a rabbit, and yelling.
Every time the magic iron war horse drove past the soldiers, it always attracted a large number of envious eyes, and many people’s eyes followed the magic air gun behind the instructor.
Before officially participating in the training, the soldiers had personally watched the drills conducted by the instructors.
Whether it is the legendary rose chariot, the magic iron war horse, and the amazingly powerful air gun salvo, every soldier feels deep awe and allows them to receive training honestly.
…………
In another training field, the roar of exhaustion spread far away.
“thorn!”
“Ho…Bang!”
“thorn!”
“Ho…Bang!”
Every time the instructor roared a “stab”, hundreds of soldiers shouted and stab their spears against the wooden stakes in front of them. Under the scorching sun, everyone was soaked, as if they were fished out of water. same.
Assassination training like this, this group of pikemen repeats thousands of times a day. This is to form muscle memory. Once on the battlefield in the future, as long as they hear the command, they will instinctively stab.
In a short period of time, this is the most effective way to improve combat effectiveness.
…………
“Idiots, go ahead…”
“Give me forward…”
“Damn, pay attention to your position, and be consistent with your companions on both sides…”
Three fierce instructors kept yelling, and in front of them, a long line of 50 soldiers was moving forward.
When a foul-smelling quagmire appeared in the front, someone finally stopped moving.
“Keep going……”
“Slap…slap…”
“No one is allowed to stop before hearing the order, otherwise the military law will deal with it…”
Three fierce instructors waved the steel whips in their hands and yelled loudly.
Some soldiers were frightened and had to jump out of the quagmire and trudge in it with difficulty.
Some soldiers refused to advance, which immediately provokes punishment for them. The instructors rushed viciously and pulled them out of the queue. While madly insulting, they drew the steel whip over.
“Slap…slap…”
“You useless worms, humble scum, and any behavior on the battlefield that does not obey orders will not only kill yourself, but also kill your companions, do you know?”
“Slap…slap…”
“Instead of letting you kill everyone, it would be better for labor and management to kill you alive now…”
However, the instructors will not make a dead hand. They will stop after hitting two or three whips at most. It is just a symbolic punishment, and the meaning of intimidation is greater.
“I’ll give you another chance and jump right away. If you don’t jump, you will be dead!”
“Idiot, jump!”
…………
The training plan formulated by the Island Guarding Team is mainly divided into three major parts, namely “Physical Fitness”, “Combat Skills”, and “Compliance”.
Due to the urgency of the war and the limited training time, Renault can only choose to complete the most important and critical training, as much as possible to combine this scattered army into a whole.
Of course, in the training process, it is not that there are no fools to resist or try to slip away quietly. After all, these weird trainings are a bit too torturous.
However, anyone who did this was severely punished.
For soldiers who made less serious mistakes, there is only one punishment for instructors, and that is “squatting in the pit.”
No, it should be called “closed up”.
It’s just that the place of confinement is not a small black room, but a hole in the ground.
The instructors randomly dig a deep hole in the mud, then throw the hapless shackled man into the hole, and then cover it with a thick iron plate, and the confinement punishment begins.
When it’s time for the meal, someone will lift the iron plate, throw a few pieces of bread in it that are as hard as a stone, and a pot of water, and it’s done.
The worst thing is that eating and drinking Lazard is in a narrow place, and it will be unbearable for anyone who is strong enough to spend time with his excrement day and night.
Not to mention the darkness in the cave, no one can tell the day and night, no one speaks, and no one chats with you, just like being isolated from the world, this kind of loneliness is enough to torture anyone crazy.
Anyone who has experienced “squat pits” will definitely be as honest as a child in the next training.
Near a training ground, Moose watched the soldiers running in the field wearing full armor and carrying heavy objects, and suddenly turned his head and asked:
“Under the crown, do you plan to go on a field battle with the black orc army?”
“Of course, I don’t want to attack Crocodile Tooth Fortress.” Renault watched the soldiers drift away and replied, “The black orc army has a great psychological advantage over the human army. As long as this army is placed in the wild, They will pounce like vultures smelling carrion.”
“We can wait for the black **** to be delivered automatically, why not?”
