"You've only recently returned from the Empire, and you must be very clear about the gap between us and the knight squire at this moment. Thinking about the beginning, Kasia said slowly, "At the moment, in terms of business, factories, and research, Waters and Derya can do a good job. Soon, with the mass production of artillery and shells, the focus will gradually shift to the expansion and expansion of black market middlemen, sales networks, and factories. The number of places involved will increase a lot all at once. So there will be a difficult problem. ”

"The necessary strength and manpower are insufficient. Hesley also thought of this, "Let's just say that the two of us, even if we are separated, one person can only take care of one position, and the rest can only be solved by means of communication." Presumably, the expanded territory is probably based on small countries as the distance unit. Leaving aside the process and hassle of crossing the border, the distance and transportation alone are enough to become a problem. The enemy doesn't always give us time to rush over, and there will always be a miss at some point. So the best thing to do is to have a strong team stationed in each location to deal with this kind of thing. ”

"Is that so?" Hesley asked, "such a process, as long as it is more powerful, will exist. Not to mention the four forces within the empire, they have a variety of institutions in each region. In normal times, it seems that there is no one there, but when there is an emergency, all the people who are hiding come out at once. That's roughly the state. ”

"A simplified version will do. "As you just felt, I'm in the third phase of surgery, and I'll have a lot of time to work on this little force. In addition to you and me, there is indeed a lack of necessary forces within the forces now. Derya and Waters had trained personnel, but there was not a single third-stage surgeon in them, and the strength of the second-stage was less than half. It is perfectly sufficient to carry out some small tasks, but in the process of strength and factory expansion, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with local forces. It would certainly not be realistic to send them to solve the problem at that time. ”

"That's why I asked you to come over alone and talk about it carefully. About the recruitment plan for mercenaries and bounty hunters. In addition to money, the chips in his hand were a large number of surgical project development materials brought out from the library of the military school. In addition, powerful weapons, some potions, machines, etc., purchased by the Empire, can be our advantage in attracting these people. "Of course, showing them your power is also a necessary option. ”

Hesley thought as Cassia waited, and in the process he took out the dinner Hesley had bought, and ate some of the bread inside.

"This should be just a theoretical plan, and no preparations have been made, right?"

"Hmm. Kasia nodded, "The next month or two is the preparation period. Which regions, what powerful mercenaries and bounty hunters are there, the information they can obtain, the specific situation, the current situation, etc., all need to be systematically collected and organized. I'll ask Waters to find a professional to do this, and what we need to do is to filter out the targets as concisely and accurately as possible, so that when the time is right, we can go straight to the most important parts of the plan. ”

"Eventually, I plan to put all these people under the Knights, Hesley, you are not the chief knight, so I want you to manage them on your behalf. That's the rough idea. ”

"It's not that it can't, it's just that the management and dispatch are left to Waters and Dyar. Because this is in line with the factory and the business affairs. Training and peacetime I do some things but better, regiment commander, you are familiar with the training methods of the military school, and I am also familiar with the training methods within the Webley family, under the fusion, it will bring surprises. For these mercenaries and bounty hunters, I think what they lack is not only the information and money for surgical development, but also systematic knowledge, all kinds of procedural training, etc., which they should not have experienced. Just like the difference between soldiers and ordinary people, they do have a lot more experience and have the advantage of fighting alone. Once the group is involved, a little collision can show the huge gap between the two. ”

After the two had finished their food, Kasia spread out a map that had been prepared. The simple hand-drawn drawings simply mark the twenty or so small countries covered in the huge area around the Kingdom of Qil. There are identification lines, in the form of a spider's web, with the kingdom of Chir as a radiating point, spreading out in all directions. Not every small country has a stronghold within itself, but everything like renting a house and using it as an operational office is available. The after-sales office of a large company with a business spread over a huge area, which is the basis for Kasia's modeling.

"It takes a long time to get it done. After looking at the map and listening to Kasia's explanation, Hesley responded, "At this point, maybe the recruitment process is not important, the most important thing is how many resources we have to support this plan." It's like an entire fleet of airships suddenly being owned by a small force, and their worries are certainly not how to use it in the future, but where to find out the absolutely astronomical annual maintenance costs. ”

"Of course, the recruiter can't just be a person who only knows how to eat resources. Kasia replied with a smile that it wasn't a big deal for him, "After that, I had a lot of ways to make it work the way it should." Supporting yourself is what this program is all about. ”

Hesley smiled, "Then the expansion of the factory and the business disputes will definitely not be less." I had a hunch that it would be very troublesome in the future, but it would be nice to meet an opponent I was interested in. Now you have no interest in the regimental commander, because you know that you can't beat it at all. ”

Smiled helplessly, Kasia did not refute. He knew very well the strength of Heslie's strength, he was still some distance away from him before, and now, this distance could no longer be narrowed by relying on some powerful weapons.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Hesley went back to his lodgings. Kasia continued to refine the details of the plan into the morning, and it was not until he received a contact from Waters that he finished the drive to the factory location.

Derya and the others had already successfully disembarked from the retrain and were rushing over in the limousine to pick them up. The factory, the research, the artillery and shells, the learning of kinetic armor technology from Vinifer and April, and the warehouse in a few days、、、 many more, but Kasia knew that it had taken him a year to put them all on a normal trajectory, and all that was left was how he could carve a path ahead and let it go smoothly.
