Chapter 294 Two Sides

People at the banquet exchanged cups and chatted loudly.

The general who came to this kind of occasion for the first time saw that there were rare delicacies on the table, all kinds of wines that could not be named seemed to be inexhaustible, and the ladies and ladies of the upper class were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a good temperament. Noble, gathered together to chat in a low voice, glanced at himself and others from time to time, and then there was a burst of light laughter.

These generals were not valued at all before William's reign, and they were not valued much during William's reign. Where have I seen such a scene, each of them seems somewhat cramped.

However, the organizers of the banquet were always paying attention to them, and took the initiative to hold wine glasses, go to chat with them, and even encouraged their daughters or family members to dance with them.

"Dias, aren't you nobles?" A potbellied old man asked, "Not even knights?"

A dark-skinned middle-aged general nodded embarrassingly. Originally, during the reign of William, most of the cadres, including this middle-aged man named Dias, had no other ideas because of the low status of the nobility. , but now it seems that William has fallen, and the original aristocrat has changed and returned to the upper stage, and the title of nobility has become precious again.

A few nobles around made a sound of regret, as if they were very unworthy of him.

"You are the heroes who guarded this city, and you deserve your own honor," the old paunchy nobleman glanced around before slowly saying, "The navy has been tracking down Morgan William's colleagues for a while. Dang, I have always been worried about you army commanders, but I think that judging from the performance of you and several other commanders commanding the army to maintain order in the city these days, it is impossible for you to be Morgan William's accomplices , Tomorrow, I will ask His Majesty for instructions to grant you and several other commanders the status of nobles, and re-establish your positions, so that people from the Navy Headquarters will not harass you any more."

Dias was overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks.

The old nobleman nodded kindly, took a sip of his wine, and said meaningfully: "Soon, you will also be a member of the nobleman, I hope you can protect the interests of the nobleman, Morgan .William is a criminal identified by both the world government and the Navy Headquarters. The laws and policies promulgated during his control of this country are all illegal and may have ulterior motives. We, as the legal and orthodox rule of this country Or, he should ban the disorderly orders he executed during his tenure that caused the country to be in chaos, and restore the country to normal order. I think this is not only our expectation, but also the goal of the world government and the Navy headquarters. expect."

Dias was about to drink, but his movements froze when he heard the words, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I understand, you are right."

...

Not to mention the singing and dancing in the aristocratic district of Kalmar City, nor to mention the exchange of cups between some commanders of the city's garrison and the nobles.

In the industrial area of ​​Kalmar City, it is another scene.

Although William has started to transform the army of the Kingdom of Navia in the past two years, in fact, his main focus is only the guards formed by veterans from various troops and elites from the teaching team.

If it was on the Earth in the previous life, William would naturally not do this, but considering the differences in the strength of individuals in this world, the selection of soldiers and the focus of the military system naturally need to be changed.

Numbers are still important, but one of its important functions is to provide William with a selection mechanism to net talents and finally make them stand out.

The selection of fighters to enter the Guards itself shows that they have certain potential, and they can focus on training, providing them with six-style and other skills for them to learn, and they will be promoted step by step for further study.

But for other armies, William did not completely let it go.

Taking into account the changes in weapons and equipment, the army has more intensive firepower than before. William made some changes to the original bloated and messy army system. The smallest unit of the local garrison was divided into squads of fifteen, three infantry A squad and a machine gun squad form a platoon, and the command and action are more flexible.

However, what can be called a pioneering work in this world is the squad leader selection system implemented by William.

William believes that the soldiers get along day and night, and whoever has the best ability is well known to everyone. In this era of frequent wars, soldiers don’t dare to take their own lives as a joke. Maybe they can dig out some talents outside the Guards and find them. Get out of the net and give them a chance to rise.

Basco is such a squad leader. He is smart, capable, and devoted to his duties. Apart from the fact that he is not very talkative, he is deeply loved by his subordinates.

When night fell, the commander of his own family went to the noble district to attend a banquet, and these low-level soldiers also set off to find their own fun.

Basco didn't really like this kind of occasion, but everyone in the class acted together, and he didn't want to appear out of the group, so he had to follow.

Under the guidance of a well-informed comrade-in-arms, fifteen young men who took off their military uniforms and were restless came to the industrial area. However, in Basco's view, there were signs of turning into a "slum area" again.

William made great efforts to solve the unemployed population in Kalmar City. The construction of the industrial zone was one of his iconic achievements. After many years in cooperation with the immigration and rural movement, he finally brought the uncertain end of the Kingdom of Zenghe Goa The eponymous massive slum eradication.

But because of this, when William was arrested and imprisoned, everything here was overthrown, and the managers of various factories were imprisoned by the nobles of the Kingdom of Navia in the name of William's party, responsible for supervising the city's The navy of the headquarters strictly blocked the docks, and the things produced by the factories could not be shipped out. The once prosperous textile industrial area became panicked. The factories closed down one by one, and there were more and more jobless people on the streets. In order to survive, people had to I don't want to support myself, "fortunately", the industrial zone has only been established for a few years, and the people living here still remember how they used to live.

The place where Basco's comrades led them was a bar in the industrial area. As soon as he entered the bar gate, he knew why his comrades had a strange expression when they came. It turned out that it was a lewd smile.

The bar was a little dark, only the stage in the middle was lit up, a young woman with a sexy figure and scantily clad was posing on it, and whistles and jokes were heard from the bottom of the stage from time to time.

The bar is not too big, and a group of fifteen of them gathered together, making the aisle a bit crowded.

Frisk, who had just finished cleaning a table, was blocked in his way. He carefully held the plate, put the rag on his shoulder, and said humbly to Basco and others who were blocking the door: "Trouble, excuse me." Let's go."
