"Everyone has two skins. You can say whatever you want. Instead of just choosing a name, it's better to choose one with a special meaning. The meaning just mentioned by the lord is very good. The city is dead, but the people are alive. Specifically
People still have the final say on which path to take. Since it is New Brissan, naturally we have the final say." Chief of Staff Ban Hebrew's eyes flickered slightly, and he was the first to jump out and express his opinion, "I agree with the use of new cloth.
Ruisang is the name for our future capital."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"Okay, this issue was unanimously approved. Our capital will be called New Bressan. As soon as Mr. Ferdinand's project in the northern fortress was completed, he was asked to come over to conduct terrain survey. It happened that the restoration work of the ruins fortress group was also nearing completion.
When the time comes, we can directly transfer the engineering team here. General Marshall, when you make your financial plan for this year, you must take this into consideration." Sean finally made the decision.
"Understood." Although Marshall answered quickly, he could tell from his expression that this was another very troublesome matter.
Building a brand new city from scratch has always been a very lucrative endeavor.
Investing millions of royal gold coins is almost like wasting water, making a few ripples and then disappearing.
Not to mention the twin cities alone, the Yongye Army took ten years to build them. No less than 50 million gold coins were invested in them, not to mention other ancillary materials. The infrastructure construction has not stopped until now.
, there is still one or two million financial investment in infrastructure construction every year, but fortunately it has begun to generate income here. Not to mention business income, the municipal tax revenue here alone can sustain its own expenses.
The reconstruction work in Brother Port has also started. In the second half of last year alone, 5 million was invested, and this year it will definitely not be less than 10 million.
As the future economic, political, and military center of the Eternal Night Army, New Bliss is also their future face. According to the characteristics of the Eternal Night Army from top to bottom, the openness will definitely not be small. There are many things
, I guess they all want to get it right in one step, especially since Mr. Ferdinand is doing it himself. If he doesn’t prepare 10 million royal gold coins this year, it will definitely not be enough for him to squander.
The annual net profit of Jacob River's first-line business is fifty million royal gold coins. It sounds like a terrifying figure, but it is also cost-effective.
For the construction of two large cities, two-fifths were directly allocated.
The only good thing is that the restoration of the ruins fortress group has been completed, and the annual investment here will be reduced by two to three million. After Ferdinand's main energy is invested in the construction of New Bressan, he naturally has no energy to prepare for other infrastructure projects, so he can carry out
If reduced appropriately, another three to four million can be compressed.
In addition, the Kingsley family not only has an additional five million war ransom income every year, but the black powder trade has also opened up. Judging from their recent intake, this is definitely a big deal this year, which can bring additional
The input of 30 to 40 million royal gold coins is a net profit from the disposal of previous inventory, and most of them use various raw metal ores as payment methods.
Not only was Marshall not displeased at all about this, but he was happy to hear it.
After these raw metal ores are turned into finished products in the hands of the Yong Ye Army Leader, their value is no longer 30 or 40 million. It is not impossible to directly exceed 100 million, depending on whether they are willing to sell it.
Regrettably, although this was not a one-time deal, it would not last for several years. After receiving the first black powder from Archduke Buck, he formed his own research team and tried every means to reverse the formula of black powder.
Production is only a matter of time.
Therefore, although the pressure is a bit greater, it is not overwhelming.
"Don't be so gloomy. Money is something you earn when you spend it. If you can't spend it, no matter how much money you have, it doesn't make any sense. Imagine on the bright side, in a few years, after they are completed, they will bring us
To generate income." Sean obviously knew what his financial controller was thinking, and comforted him with a smile.
"Lord, there is no need to comfort me. My vision is not that short-sighted. Don't worry. I promise that it will not delay the important matters of the military leader." Marshall patted his chest and promised.
"Okay." Sean nodded and said, "Let's move on to the next topic. Which one have we reached?"
"It's still from our side." Chief of Staff Kelman said, "Our military staff proposes to mobilize elites from each group army to form a lord's guard, which will be directly under the lord's command."
"Lord's Guards?" Sean raised an eyebrow. The military staff had not communicated this proposal to him in advance, "What do I want with that thing? Do you still expect me to go to the front line and charge into battle?"
"Your lord, what you said is wrong." Chief of Staff Kelman retorted, "Your lord is our face. If you don't even have a bodyguard of your own, how can you make it through?"
"Who said there isn't? Doesn't Valesta have a hundred-man guard?" Sean raised his eyebrows.
"Where is this from? Lord, please listen to what I have to say first." Chief of Staff Kelman couldn't laugh or cry.
The biggest problem of my own lord is that he doesn't regard himself as a lord too much, and he doesn't have the consciousness of being a lord.
When the lords of other families have a little bit more power and a little more wealth, they either build their own castles and live a luxurious and decadent life, or they frantically build their own luxurious guards. The travel convoys have to be hundreds of meters long, lest others
Didn't know I was here.
It's better for the lord of my own family. What it was like ten years ago when it first started, it's still what it is now.
He wants his own castle but not his own castle, his own realm but not his own capital. He doesn’t even have many women around him. If it weren’t for his recent passionate fight with the regent princess Sophilia, he would have already talked about getting married.
Some people are worried about whether their lord has a sexual orientation problem.
It was suggested that he should get an exclusive high-rise boat for him, but that was just a matter of push and pull, because he had betrayed the trust of those soldiers, and it was easier to be targeted, etc.
Doesn't he know that every time he leaves the Yong Ye Army Leader, they are always on tenterhooks, lest something go wrong and hurt him?
At this time, they wish that their lords could be more selfish and think more about themselves like other lords, so that the lives of those under them would be easier.
"Okay, tell me, I want to see what tricks you guys are playing!" Sean folded his hands and watched coldly.
"Our leader of the Evernight Army is no longer a small force huddled in the mountains. We dare not say that we stomped our feet to make the entire Byron Alliance tremble. At least there are echoes, and the forces we come into contact with are more diversified, and we may even unknowingly
It offended many people and forces."
Chief of Staff Kelman's words made everyone present nod frequently.
In the past, their structure was small, and they only had a limited number of enemies, all of whom were placed in plain sight.
Things are different now. The Eternal Night Army leaders are taking many actions from all sides. Their enemies are not only those who are in the public eye, but there are also some they have offended unintentionally.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Valesta, whether it was supporting the Valesta Chamber of Commerce or setting up his own large-scale trading industry, the leader of the Eternal Night Army offended those vested interests to death and was inadvertently bankrupted by them.
There are also quite a few, and most of these people are gnashing their teeth in hatred towards the leader of the Yongye Army. However, their goals are too small, and it is impossible for the leader of the Yongye Army to detect their existence.
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.
Who knows what crazy things these people with nothing will do?
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
Maybe these inconspicuous little people, by various chances and coincidences, will do something shocking.
In particular, the black gunpowder in the hands of the Yongye Army Leader began to be used in large quantities. They knew the power of this stuff, which could allow some weak women with no strength to restrain a chicken to have the ability to crack mountains and crack rocks.
If it were used against my own lord, I would shudder just thinking about it.
It would be a big joke if it were accidentally used on a self-developed weapon.
The lords and nobles of the Byron League travel in luxurious formations. In addition to showing off, the biggest reason is that they are afraid of death.
"We have more and more external affairs. Some matters cannot be avoided by the lord himself. Security matters cannot be ignored. Even if the lord does not consider it for himself, he must also consider it for the military leader." Chief of Staff Kelman raised a flag.
The paper said, "This is just one of the reasons."
"The second reason is that the famous lord forces all have their own trump cards, such as the Broken Blood Knights of the Broken Blood Castle, the Iron Rose Knights of the Princess Regent, the Holy Ether Sword and the Judgment Knights of the Holy See,
The Secret Order of Witches, the Arcane Knights, etc. These ace armies are famous. No matter where they go, their enemies will lose three points before they take action.
Our leader of the Yongye Army cannot lag behind others, right? We should have our own trump card, right? Yes, we have a Skull Crushing Legion, but he is now the Guards Corps of General McGee, and is the trump card of the Yongye Army.
There is no way for us to lead the Eternal Night Army."
The third is that news came from the Northern Fortress Arsenal that they have come up with a magic modification plan for those bone armors, but compared to enchanted armors, these bone armors are more special. Once activated, they will produce the special effect of soul binding.
Except for the person involved, no one else can exert their due power, so we must screen the soldiers and then tailor them.
The number of bone armor is limited, so we must carefully screen and select the best. After repeated studies, our Military Staff Department unanimously believes that if this kind of armor is dispersed into various armies, it will not play a big role. It is better to concentrate it and form an independent army.
The legion can play a greater role, and since we have to do it, of course we have to do the best."
I have finished explaining my reasons. Do you generals think there is anything wrong with my proposal?" Chief of Staff Kelman shook off Sean and turned to consult the other generals present for their opinions. He made up his mind. As a lord, it's not like you have failed.
Are you conscious? Let's work together to force you to have a baby. Let's see if you admit it or not.
"This is a really good idea. The lord really should have an army of his own. Otherwise, if he goes out, he will not be embarrassed, but I will be ashamed of us generals! I strongly support this matter.
Regardless of whether you draw people from the Skull Crusher Legion or my First Legion, I have no problem with it." Skull Crusher McGee was the first to strongly support it.
He has the deepest personal relationship with Sean. As long as it is beneficial to Sean, he will support it without any bottom line, even if it is Sean who is opposed this time. There is a kind of good, called good for you.
This time McGee is on your good side.
"This matter is beneficial and harmless." General Ericson obviously also had his own unique insights, "When selecting soldiers, they must at least start with knight strength, otherwise they will not be worthy of the title of the best among the best.
In the past, we were tempted to split one knight and use it as two, but now the living conditions and training conditions have improved, and this class has become a lot richer.
We don’t have that many positions for middle- and low-level officers to place them. Scattering them among various armies is a waste and will also breed dissatisfaction in their hearts. It would be better to concentrate them so that they can better exert their due combat effectiveness."
"We also support this proposal. When the time comes, we will also draw elites from the Dawn Group Army to participate in the selection." Wyande, Zoe, and Karloff, the three acting commanders of the Dawn Group Army, said at the same time.
"We, the warriors of the Cliff Clan, are free to choose, as long as you don't mind that their training is lagging behind." Chief Locke also expressed his stance.
The greatest advantage of smart people is that they can accept unchangeable facts as quickly as possible.
It is an unavoidable fact that the Duanya clan has been annexed by others, so accept it as soon as possible and find ways to seek the best interests for your own people, and it will not be in vain for them to have followed you for so many years.
Of course, we must respond positively to the formation of the lord's personal guard. These are the people closest to the lord.
As for whether it will succeed, Chief Locke is not worried at all. Good intentions are hard to deny. No matter how stubborn Sean is, there is no way to stop the good intentions from the entire top management.
"If I continue to insist on my opinion on this matter, I'm afraid I will offend the public." Sean laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, let's form a lord's guard to catch up with the Broken Blood Cavalry. Chief Locke was joking, there is
Your joining is our greatest honor. The saying that the Kentana barbarians in the mountains are invincible has been widely spread among our Yongye Army leaders. To be honest, what we covet the most about your Cliff Clan is
Your army, isn’t that why we have gone to great lengths to get you to join us?”
"Lord, you really know how to joke." There was a smile on Father Locke's face. It is always good to feel valued by others. At least it shows that they are still valuable.
Sean is not an idiot, so why can't he feel the worry and good intentions from the top leaders of the Yongye Army?
The lord's guard and the exclusive building ship are two different natures.
The army, especially the elite army, is not too much in any territory. As long as it is not a militancy, it is not a big problem. The Yongye Army can only support the current finances, let alone support an elite army, even if there are a few more elite armies.
The problem is that we don’t have that many manpower.
Besides, what bloody man doesn’t have the dream of personally leading an elite army?
Shawn's blood was boiling with excitement from the generals present. In addition, Chief of Staff Kelman highlighted the bone armor ripped off the undead soldiers, although he did not know where the northern fortress was for the time being.
No matter what the test product was like, just based on the uniqueness of the bone armor material, I knew it was definitely the same.
It seems logical to use them to arm an elite force.
"We knew the Lord would not be so unkind." Chief of Staff Kelman said with a smile.
"You know that I am not such an unkind person, but you still use this method of uniting all the generals to defeat my army? If you directly submit this proposal to me, can I not approve it?" Sean pretended to be fierce and scanned three times.
The main chief of staff glanced at him and said, "According to your argument, should I retaliate against you personally and let you feel the authority from the lord?"
"I didn't think carefully about this matter. When we eat together next time, I will punish myself with three drinks and make amends to the lord." Chief of Staff Kelman took the initiative to admit his mistake.
There is no explanation. The reason for choosing to do this is to force Xiao En's palace. It is also to force other generals' armies. If they don't do this, how can they be willing to join this plan and promise to mobilize them?
The elite?
This can be tantamount to reducing the combat effectiveness of their army in disguise. As for the joining of the Cliff Clan, it is a complete unexpected gain.
"You don't have to wait until next time, you can find it for me this time." Sean glanced at the hourglass clock and said, "It's getting late, it's almost lunch time, and the main topic of our military meeting is also in progress.
It's almost done. All that's left is the finishing work. I'm not in a hurry. I won't have a working meal in the cafeteria today. I'll invite everyone to have a good meal in my private manor. Welcome Chief Locke and General Yale to join us.
extended family."
"Chef Julian?" McGee asked.
"That's necessary." Sean smiled and said, "That boy's ability to flatter others is as mellow as his figure. Every time he hears that we are holding a military meeting, no matter whether we need him or not, he will always be jumping around.
Hey, if you don’t believe me, let’s go to the manor and have a look. There are a lot of delicious food and drinks prepared there. I didn’t tell you this in advance.”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Mikey sipped his saliva and said, "If you keep talking, your stomach will almost be filled with saliva. Let's go."
"Anyone who doesn't eat the free meal is a fool. Let's go eat at the big one today."
