Chapter 1249: Dilemma, who do you beat without food or drink?
"Sou Ga! You are indeed not a simple person. You have made irreplaceable achievements. You are worthy of being the leader of Tongtian Cult."
Liu Shiba laughed and praised, then changed the subject and said sarcastically:
"Three thousand iron cannons, all contributed by the surrendered soldiers of the Tokugawa family! But it is really rare - rare..."
The old driver smiled when he heard this, and his beard was raised. He didn't care whether Liu Shiba liked his disgusting bad breath or not, but he was so shameless that he leaned into his ear and breathed hotly:
"I also used alloy scraps from cast-iron cannons to make do with thousands of simple land mines and more than 10,000 simple grenades... with wooden handles."
Liu Shiba was stunned and said:
"Then we've eaten too much, so why are we still discussing how to reorganize the army? Even if we replace all the soldiers and generals in the audience?
With 10,000 Japanese aunts and geishas, each given a Mauser iron cannon, and trained for three days, they can defeat all the famous names in Kyoto and the surrounding areas, and you are just fooling your sister..."
The old driver's smile faded. Looking at Liu Shiba who was suddenly in a good mood and beaming with joy, he sneered a few times and poured cold water on him:
"Then what? Use a bunch of big-headed soldiers whose hands are dumber than their feet to make fuses, gunpowder, and even grenades?
Or do you expect them to plant crops? Don’t forget that the army also needs to eat, no! They prefer to eat dough...
Don’t expect the clumsy peasants and soldiers to be clever and clever in making bullets and doing housework. The men here never do housework and will never wash a single dish in their lives. Do you understand?"
Liu Shiba smiled bitterly and said:
"How did I hear you describe it as being like heaven? How happy it would be to eat without washing dishes..."
Veteran driver Tomson ignored Liu Shiba’s teasing and continued to add:
"There are worse things that need to be solved immediately! The prisoner and craftsman camps currently only provide one meal of dough a day, the sour kind..."
"Food is so scarce? I remember that after we captured Noda Castle and defeated the Tokugawa Army, we got a lot of military rations and inventory?"
"That's right! But what have you done in the past three months? Mobilized all the young and strong ashigaru of all the retainers in the Takeda territory to Noda Castle, built the castle, dug trenches, and conducted military training every day to prepare for war.
Isn’t this a standing army? These mud-legged people have become a professional army, so who will cultivate the fields in the territory?
In the past, they were semi-military peasant soldiers who had to go home to farm during the busy farming season. Do you understand?
In particular, concentrating on high-intensity military training and building forts consumes too much physical energy, and food is even tighter. Even if you are a prisoner, you can't deny food, right?
So, let me tell you the truth, the food in Noda Castle will not be enough for a few days."
Liu Shiba looked at the old driver blankly and said with a flat mouth:
"Isn't this your problem? I have already announced that you, the first member of Tomson Real Estate, are the new military advisor of the Takeda family. He also supervises the development and manufacturing of weapons, and the food is innovative, delicious and delicious...
As for farming, I don't know much about it, and I don't know much about what the army eats. The generals from the Sanada and Takeda families have to worry about the war.
Therefore, I feel that theoretically, aren’t chores such as eating, drinking, and other matters being the job of the military advisor?
Look at Zhuge Liang, how industrious he is? He does everything, he even has to design the carts for hauling grain himself..."
Liu Shiba's words really stunned even the veteran driver...
"Ezuo! I feel - I feel like I can't compare to you..."
The old driver gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Shiba. He couldn't bear to think about it, so he added:
"But I still remind you, don't overthink it. It is unrealistic to use women, women and children to attack cities and plunder lands..."
The old driver and Liu Shiba were whispering, but they were interrupted by the racecourse Xinfang:
"Ahem, cough, cough... Lord! Are you giving military training to Takeda, who is fully equipped? Are you discussing other matters with the military advisor later?"
Liu Shiba hurriedly turned his head, smiled apologetically at Nobaba Nobaba, then stood up straight, looked seriously at the tens of thousands of Takeda soldiers standing on the high platform square, and said loudly:
"Next! I announced that the Takeda Army will be reorganized. After completion, the generals of each branch will be trained for three days, and then..."
Hearing this, Takeda's retainers couldn't help but trembled all over, showing various expressions: surprise, excitement, horror, ecstasy...
