Chapter 46 Military Employment
How many troops are needed?
Da Liang thought about it in his heart.
On land, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce covered the entire Shangjiang area and radiated to the periphery, then was blocked by the city of Nanjing in the northwest, and the important obstacle in the southwest was the city of Hangzhou. These two cities have reached the scale of level 13, plus the surrounding vassal cities, although the strength of a single is not the opponent of Shangjiang City, but if Shangjiang City uses the regular army to attack, it will cause military turmoil in the surrounding areas and cause weak cities to huddle.
Moreover, the internal affairs of Shangjiang City are more complicated, and it is not appropriate to use the army easily.
Without the support of Shangjiang City, Jiading City alone would not be able to open up trade routes.
At sea, the Shuntong maritime merchant fleet is being actively formed. With a recent victory at sea by the Shangjiang Fleet, Shuntong maritime merchants should be able to enjoy unimpeded access to the waters around the East China Sea and enjoy preferential trade.
As for the rest of the ......
The maritime trade of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is not the kind of retail investors who make money and sell. If you grasp the advantages of the Yangtze River artery and open up the Yangtze River trade route, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can skip many intermediate links and directly purchase bulk goods in the place of origin, and then dump them by sea.
This kind of trade behavior is a great damage to the local economy, and will inevitably attract the local government to adopt heavy taxation methods to protect the local business balance.
If the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce wants low-tax dumping, it can only force the other party to sign a commercial contract that is beneficial to the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce by force.
In Da Liang's plan.
The land route is centered on Shangjiang City, and the logistics industry of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is expanded to the north and south; The waterway extends along the Yangtze River to the hinterland of China's game area, so that the banks of this great river and its surroundings will become the origin and sales place of overseas goods of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, and cooperate with the logistics industry to achieve a seamless connection between the seller terminal and the seller terminal.
At sea, the first thing to do is to ensure the safety of the Shuntong Maritime Fleet, and then to establish exclusive treaty ports around the world.
If this system is really established, the army needed is really immeasurable. Neither the Black Fire Collar nor Jiading City could take out so many soldiers in a short period of time.
But if the City of Sighs is willing to send mercenaries......
Go all-out and build your own business empire.
Da Liang's goal for the first stage of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is to fight against four level 13 cities at the same time and achieve victory in a short period of time.
So......
The more the merrier, the more the merrier.
Of course, it is also necessary to go step by step, within the scope of the capital chain of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, and not to hire too many soldiers beyond the needs and waste funds.
So Da Liang said to the sorrowful monarch: "Your Excellency. In the early stage of cooperation, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can spend a budget of 3 million gold coins per week to hire troops to serve us. In the future, with the expansion of the business scope of the Chamber of Commerce, this budget will continue to increase.
I estimate that if the first phase of the expansion of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can be completed, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce will eventually need to invest 8 million to 10 million yuan per week in the maintenance of mercenaries.
And even more.
But there's one thing I want to make upfront.
Since our Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is a commercial organization, war is not our goal, but a last resort that will not be used. Therefore, during the period of employment, mercenaries need to fully obey the orders of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, and must not arbitrarily carry out military operations outside the scope of the mercetuary.
At the same time, in order not to affect the operation of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, if the monarch wants to recall a part of the army, he needs to explain to us a month in advance, so that the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can mobilize other troops to supplement this part of the army.
In addition, the army that the monarch can transfer back every month also needs to set a cap.
This is entirely out of the original interests of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, if the monarch transfers too many troops, we will definitely not be able to use too many manpower to fill this batch of missing for a while.
……”
The weekly income of several million gold can reach the weekly income of tens of millions of gold after the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce completes the initial expansion and continues to develop in the future.
This is definitely a significant fixed source of wealth for the City of Sighs, and the Sorrowful Monarch has nothing more than the undead that the Dead Realm can capture at will.
As for the recall regulations mentioned by Da Liang.
The sad monarch also said that there was no problem, not to mention that what Da Liang said was reasonable, that is, even if he didn't fight, he could earn money, and the sad monarch only had the idea of exporting more troops in his heart, and he had no intention of recalling the army at all.
At least until the Plane War breaks out, these mercenaries will have to fight for as much military funding as possible for the City of Sighs.
At this moment, the Sorrowful Monarch has come up with a series of ideas about the use of this money.
The alchemy system that has been idle for a long time in Sigh City is about to be restarted, and there was no money to invest in the research and production of alchemy equipment before, but now there is money to build all those high-powered alchemy weapons that have been stopped in drawings and ideas.
Then it is to build the defensive system of Sigh City, and for the attack of Cloud City, the magic tower will be built more.
The other is the study of witchcraft to become gods.
After Da Liang's "enlightenment", the sorrowful monarch has completely untied the knot in his heart and served the god of death as a god.
Under this ultimate faith, he will be the harbinger of the entire Unsullied Holy See.
It's just that in the mouth of the wizard who was caught, he didn't ask too much, not even his name, let alone about the method of finding the god plane.
Now that the power of the Wizards Guild of Sigh City has been completely wiped out, whether that wizard knows how to open the way to the crystal wall of the god plane, and the Sorrowful Monarch is not sure. However, all the research materials of the Sigh City Branch of the Wizards' Guild are in his hands, and as long as he has time and sufficient funds, the Sorrowful Monarch can find the crystal wall of the god plane with confidence.
As long as I can become a god......
Cloud City, Hell, Michael, Satan, Lucifer, what are they?
Premise, the money must be obtained.
"No problem, all my troops hired by the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, you have absolute command over them. I don't have any objection to the military recall. The sad monarch was very satisfied with the business, agreed to Da Liang's conditions, and asked, "When can our cooperation begin?" ”
Da Liang said with a smile: "For such a major matter, we will first set the tone of cooperation, and the rest of the specific matters need to be improved step by step." When the Marquis of Stanley returned to Shangjiang, he would immediately send people to count the troops needed and allocate funds.
At the same time, it is also necessary to establish a special dimensional teleportation array for Jiading City and Sighing City.
Separate barracks for mercenaries also need to be built.
The monarch can first mobilize the first batch of troops, 200,000 skeleton soldiers, 100,000 ghosts, 30,000 vampires, 10,000 corpse witches, 5,000 dark knights, each army is equipped with a percentage of promoted troops, and the hero commanders at all levels are complete.
Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons, we want to hire 100 of them. If the monarch can't call up so many ultimate classes for a while, you can give us 40 first.
In this way, with the undead army in Jiading City, we can use force against Nanjing City and Hangzhou City, and let them allow the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to lay logistics transit stations in the area under their control. ”
