"You're crazy!" Neil roared loudly, "now the situation of the territory is about to build an army factory? Do you think you have too much money? "
"We can consider using war to support war." Sean thought for a moment and felt that he was not crazy. "As long as the military factory is established, we can raise the armament of the whole territory to at least one level, which is extremely beneficial to our current territory situation. And you see, we now have hundreds of dwarves and goblins. If these resources are not used, they are very wasteful. Can you expect goblins to go to the battlefield? "
Neil frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, obviously disapproving of Sean's approach: "two questions."
"What's the problem?"
"First, the initial investment in our territory needs 1.7 million, but we still have about 2.5 million left." Neil opened an account book and listed all kinds of financial revenue and expenditure data in detail, which can be described as clear at a glance. "According to your calculation, the establishment of the military factory needs at least more than 1 million funds, which is related to the scale. If it is smaller, it can be, but it also needs at least about 1 million, and the territory can't leave reserve funds, So seriously, at least three million yuan is needed. How are you going to fill the 500000 vacancy? "
Sean's brow was frowning. There was a vacancy of 500000 gold coins. It was really not a small number.
According to Neil's plan, after the establishment of the trade line in Hongye Town, the annual profit can reach 200000, but after deducting many other expenses, in fact, only about 100000 gold coins fall into Sean's pocket. Therefore, if this money is used to fill the 500000 vacancy, it will take at least five years.
Five years.
Who knows what it will be like five years later?
Neil waited for a while, but he didn't see Sean answer, so he continued: "the second question, the cost of building an army factory is not terrible. But have you ever thought about where you're going to get the raw materials of the military factory? If you want to form an assembly line, at least you need ore in tons. Moreover, according to the quality of the equipment, the quantity of ore can never be single. This money is the real big head. Don't forget that there are no mines in our territory. "
Strictly speaking, it's not that Sean's territory doesn't have a mine, but that the mine doesn't belong to Sean. Yasna dared to launch a national war for this mineral vein. Although Sean's relationship with yasna is in the honeymoon period, yasna can't share some of the mineral vein with Sean. Moreover, Sean can't create high-quality standard weapons just by this mineral vein, let alone demonized equipment.
"Is there no other way?" Sean is still a little reluctant.
"There is no way, but there are no mineral veins in our territory. Even if we build a military factory, it is a waste." Neil shook his head. "Anyway, for the current situation of our territory, building an army factory is somewhat unrealistic Moreover, I'm not particularly good at military issues, but I've seen these two production drawings. If the impact shield wants to form a scale at present, it's unrealistic, mainly because the cost is too high. "
"Is there any way to get a hundred noodles first?" Sean reluctantly gave up the idea of building a military factory, "I have an urgent need."
"It's hard for a hundred faces to form a scale. Didn't you say that?"
"It is really difficult to form a scale in war, but it is different if it is used in other aspects."
"What do you want?" Neil was puzzled.
"Wild land." Sean said.
"I forgot that." Neil suddenly patted his forehead and said with some annoyance, "I forgot another big advantage of our territory. If we can catch a large number of slaves back to trade, it will also be a lot of income. And the people of the slave team can really make good use of it, otherwise it will be too wasteful. "
Speaking of this, Neil suddenly smiled: "by the way, speaking of these slave captors, you'd better go and see them."
"What's the matter?"
"You'll know when you see it." Neil smiled mysteriously.
With a trace of doubt and curiosity, Sean turned and left the main tent of the camp and walked towards the other corner of the camp.
Because he wanted to accept Vivian and leave the army, William asked Ruina to expand the camp with people, but this is only a way to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause. After all, this army is really too mixed, and the weapons they use are also diverse. Generally, this kind of situation has little value except when cannon fodder is used to die, but the gold content of this army is particularly high.
Not to mention the relatively rare races such as dwarves and goblins that are good at forging and scientific research, even the races that are good at fighting such as bear man, Tauren and werewolf are not common. You know, ORC slaves such as bear man and Tauren are expensive goods in the slave market. Their sales have never been packaged or sold in groups, but only in units.
In the trade capital, an adult Tauren often costs hundreds of gold coins. The price of a bear is higher than that of a Tauren.
Among the troops Vivian left to Sean, Tauren and bear accounted for the majority, nearly 300. If converted into gold coins, it would cost at least nearly 100000 gold coins. And there are werewolves, dwarves and orcs. The price has never been low, not to mention the creatures such as grey elves in this army. Although the gray elves are not as handsome as the elves of other ethnic groups, according to the standards of human vision, the men and women of the gray elves are pretty good, and their combat strength is not weak, so the price in the slave market has always been high, higher than the orc slaves such as bear people.
The army Vivian gave to Sean could at least earn hundreds of thousands of income if she sold it all. This is definitely a big deal.
The military camp is divided into several areas according to the habits of different ethnic groups. Now the militia in Baige town can only occupy a small corner and can not move at will as before. And perhaps it is the natural evil nature of mankind. The militia in white dove town despises the army given by Vivian to Sean, even if the people's army is only a second-class army, and this miscellaneous army is a third-class army.
Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, Rena divides everyone into areas and limits the scope of free activities. Anyone who violates military regulations will be dealt with. Under the pressure of Rena, the militia, who had suffered enough, naturally did not dare to make trouble, and all obediently chose to obey. After being cleaned up by Rena, the miscellaneous soldiers who had some temper before finally dared not do it again.
Along the way, Sean saw very different reactions in the eyes of this miscellaneous army.
People like Tauren and bear people are simple and honest. Most of their eyes are kind. They obviously accept their destiny and have no intention of resisting; The grey elves are indifferent, which is very consistent with their image and character; But the real headache is the barbarians. These are some unruly guys. Their eyes at Sean are full of provocation.
Barbarians always serve only the strong.
But Sean is not in the mood to trouble these barbarians now. He will have plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.
In a corner of the camp, he finally found the members of the slave team that Neil said.
These people are not only pure human beings, but also barbarians, grey elves and werewolves. However, it is strange that these people seem to be excluded by their own ethnic groups, so the members of these slave teams can only live together. There are not many people, only about 20 people, but everyone has at least the strength of the upper bronze peak. The strongest ones are even the lower silver peak. There are also a variety of occupations, so it is naturally impossible to unify weapons.
But what Sean saw now was that the twenty or so slave hunters were standing in two rows.
It's Rena who oversees.
Ruina has now half stepped into the upper silver. Although she is not a real upper silver expert, her strength is still much stronger than these slave hunters. Looking at the bruises on the faces of these slaves, it is obvious that they have suffered from Rena.
"You can't even stand well. Are you still men?" Rena snorted coldly, "what did I tell you before? When you enter a military camp, you are a soldier. A soldier must have military regulations. What are the military regulations I tell you? "
"Do not leave the planning area without authorization and do not trouble others."
The voice is neat and loud, but the tone is a little strange. For the gray elves and werewolves, the common language in mainland China seems a little difficult to learn.
"Well, since you all know, why bother?"
"They came to trouble first. We just fought back." A middle-aged human man who looked about 40 replied in a deep voice, "it's all my fault. If you want to punish me, please punish me alone, my Lord."
"You have a lot of courage." Rena sneered, "as I said before, I don't care what contradictions you have with others. Whoever leaves his own area first to find trouble with people in other areas will make a mistake first You disagree with each other. I welcome competition, but if you want to find trouble, you will be punished. "
"It's not fair, my Lord. Why did they find trouble first? They don't have to be punished!"
"Because they have more brains than you." Rena quipped, "I made rules. They know how to use the rules, and you break the rules, so that's your problem. If you feel unconvinced, let them break the rules next time, and I will naturally punish them. "
Seeing this, Sean basically understood what was going on, so he came forward and said, "who did they fight with?"
"Lord Sean." When Rena saw Sean coming, she immediately stepped aside to show her respect for Sean. "They had a fight with the werewolf. It seems that the werewolf tribe will become a prisoner, which is the way led by a werewolf here. However, later, the slave team was annihilated by Lord Vivian, so these werewolves became Lord Vivian's booty These people will be ostracized by their respective tribes because they take the slave team to find trouble with their tribes after they become slave hunters. "
Guide party?
Sean likes it!
"What was the result?" Sean asked again, very gossip.
"Those werewolves are basically rubbish. More than 50 people can't beat these 20 people." Rena looked disdainful.
The slave captors seemed to be very proud of this victory. Hearing Rena mocking those werewolves, all the slave captors showed a proud look on their faces. It seemed that Rena was praising them.
"Yo, you are very proud. More than 20 people won more than 50 people, and the average record per person is two." Rena glanced coldly at these slave hunters, and her sarcastic voice became stronger, "but you are more waste than those werewolves, and I can't beat you alone. Are you really men? Don't use the realm as an excuse. Those werewolves don't even have a silver. You have four inferior silver here All get down and do three hundred push ups. "
Rena's last words were completely roared out. These slave hunters seemed to be really afraid of being beaten. Hearing this, they immediately fell to the ground and began to do push ups. No one dared to be lazy and clever. Seeing this scene, Sean finally knew the meaning of Neil's mysterious smile. It seems that during her absence from the barracks, Rena reorganized the army very well.
However, more than 20 slave hunters can't beat Rena alone, which makes Sean have to re-examine Rena's strength( To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
