I Will Be The Crowned King
Vol 4 Chapter 210: New World Corporation
The reason for this name, in addition to a little bit of "bad taste" in memory, is more important because Anson hopes to completely distinguish this unit from the Storm Division.
In addition to the fact that the Storm Division already has a standing army, the sudden addition of so many troops will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers at the bottom - the contradiction between the old employees and the newcomers - in addition to starting anew to avoid conflicts, I also hope to use this opportunity to try out a different kind of Clovis. new military system.
At present, Anson is most familiar with the two army formations, except for Clovis, which is the empire. The former emphasizes the mobility of infantry, and uses powerful and fast firepower to control the field. The cavalry cooperated with the reconnaissance and pursuit.
The latter relies more on the mobility and suddenness of the cavalry. The artillery undertakes the main task of killing and tearing apart the defense line. The infantry more often plays a role similar to "human wall fortifications", oppressing the enemy's circuitous space in exchange for their own firepower output efficiency. , approaching layer by layer, and finally the cavalry ended.
Both tactics have their own strengths, but they all have one thing in common: they are not suitable for the new world.
This is certainly not because they are bad, on the contrary, both are shaped by unique circumstances and situations:
The only big country in the world of order with the tradition of knighthood naturally has to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry. After all, in the vast and complex territory, the cavalry is the easiest arm to assemble, and the abundant treasury also gives the empire the capital to spend freely and exchange cannonballs for human lives.
Clovis, who is in a land of four battles, is just the opposite. He has a short history and has not cultivated the capital to squander the "noble arms". However, the relatively flat and fertile terrain and the moderate land area can easily gather a large number of them. A well-trained infantry army; an ever-improving infrastructure provides a means of rapid deployment, even in confrontation with great powers.
However, regardless of the size of the empire and the advantages of cavalry, or the infrastructure that Clovis has been operating for many years, the New World does not have it; this leads to the New World army that relies on these two military systems. The shortcomings of this military system are exposed.
If you want to exercise complete control over the New World, you must have an army that fits the local characteristics.
But the military system is very complicated. It wasn't because Anson issued a document today. Tomorrow, the whole army will have a new look. There are not only historical traditions, but also the balance between various interest groups who struggle with each other and finally compromise with each other, not to mention that the Storm Division is already a It is impossible to change and shake the standing army easily.
Moreover, a new military system not only needs to refer to the actual experience of the officers, but also requires theoretical talents with professional backgrounds; even if all the elements are complete, it will take a little experimentation and years of trying and running-in to gradually see results...Cost extremely high.
The idea that it was so troublesome that it might not necessarily yield results, Anson had actually given up - until the sound of cannons in Port Nakshire brought him the brand-new "Marine Corps" system.
In terms of climate and environment, the three countries in the Beihai Sea are similar to the New World, and they all have a weak military industrial base (the colony should be called no), the inland infrastructure is poor, and the coastal shipping is developed. There is plenty to learn from.
On the Crown ship, which happened to be returning with William Cecil, there were several Marines who were responsible for tipping them off and escorting them away.
Anson offered them an absolutely undeniable price for these Clovis mercenaries who were loyal to the Nakhir royal family to serve as instructors.
Taking the Nakhir Naval Team as a template, every five infantry regiments are organized into an infantry division, but usually only the regiment is the basic unit, which is dispersed and deployed in various areas from Sail City to Beluga Harbor... The initial goal is two Infantry Division, and eventually strive to become a full regiment with four divisions.
This means that the entire "shooting army" has about ten to twenty infantry regiments, with a total strength of about 10,000 to 20,000 people; even if they are only equipped with the most basic equipment, the soldiers are only responsible for food expenses, and the officers are only at the company level for training. Only teach the simplest...and the cost is astronomical.
Even though Anson has managed to raise enough start-up capital, there is still a lot of follow-up investment; after deducting the part that he can afford, there are still big loopholes.
However, just like the Nakhir royal family can form a huge fleet with only one port city, plus an elite division equivalent to half a full army; even if they are shy but as long as they can get the start-up capital, they can also Can support an army that exceeds the upper limit of its endurance.
After all, your army doesn't have to be made up of your people, and it doesn't have to be you who pay them.
In this crisis-ridden new world, where leaving the city is a barren land, sufficient armed forces themselves are excellent capital; from small farmers and itinerant traders entering the city, to large manor owners and colonial councils, everyone is thirsty for "safety" almost infinite.
As long as it can fill or even monopolize the demand in this area, it is equivalent to controlling a money printing machine that can spit out money by itself.
So after getting the acquiescence of Louis, a private enterprise destined to cover all colonies in the future was officially established in the most prosperous port commercial street in Yangfan City.
Its name is... Newland Happy Life Security Company.
………………
For this "security company" with a strong background under the banner of the commander-in-chief of the Clovis garrison army and the governor of Sail City at the same time, it has aroused great interest from the wealthy businessmen and property owners of Sail City.
Of course, this has nothing to do with being optimistic about the company's prospects at all, it just touches on their immediate needs - the looming issue of beast slaves.
A liberal rebellion coupled with two consecutive battles of Sail City, not only destroyed half of the city, but also plunged a large area in the suburbs into disorderly riots.
Seeing that the city was besieged, the hard workers in various mines and plantations started riots one after another, killing the thugs left by the industrial owners and farmers who were at an absolute disadvantage, looting the warehouses, and even robbing the supply teams of the Empire and the Confederate army. ...
And those manors that are still sustainable have not been able to escape... Seeing that Yangfan City is crumbling, the overseers who have been entrusted with important tasks will either resolutely **** all the property on the account before the chaos or the army arrives. A group of long-term and short-term workers who had no idea what was going on ran alone; or they even occupied the industry together and became the emperor of the earth.
When the war was over, the property owners who were still alive in the city were surprised to find that apart from the cash on their bodies, dozens or even hundreds of years of industries were wiped out overnight.
This kind of thing is not bad... But all those who left their families in the countryside to escape to the city alone became lonely, and almost no one was spared.
In the face of this tragic situation where people and money are empty, they want to cry without tears and instinctively think of Louis Bernard, who was held up by themselves, and hope that the Governor of Sailing City will show his chivalry again and help them regain their property and then By the way, take revenge.
Then, unsurprisingly, it was rejected.
You must know that the reason why he became the governor of this sailing city was that he was somewhat coerced - if it wasn't for the fact that if even these liberals were killed, the whole sailing city would probably be completely out of control, Louis. It's impossible to keep these traitors alive.
Now that the war is over, Yangfan City is in shambles, and rebuilding the city and providing relief to the victims has consumed almost all of his resources and manpower; and these traitors not only don't know how to be grateful, but actually want to make conditions? dream!
However, for the sake of the fact that the other party is still relatively honest, Louis did not say anything, but said that the manpower on hand is currently insufficient, and he can only maintain the security of Yangfan City and the surrounding areas. The suburbs that are too far are really powerless.
The words are very subtle, but everyone understands the meaning.
So when Anson said, "I want to set up a security company, I need a large number of beast slaves as employees, I hope everyone can help", these people were immediately excited.
Beast slave? We have yes!
Price? The price is absolutely cheap! Not only cheap, but also quality and quantity - all beast slaves are in good health, young and healthy, three black bread a day, do whatever they want!
But there's a little problem with that, and that's that these beast slaves are all in country mines and manors; if you want to buy them, you'll have to... do it yourself.
In addition, after you buy these beast slaves, please return the manor and mine to us as they are; uh...it's okay if you don't have them as they are, you can move all the extra money you want, and you can take whatever you want. , just keep the real estate.
This is the first time Anson has met such a humble seller.
Originally, each beast slave, which was originally worth at least fifteen to thirty gold coins (this is still the price of the New World), was actively negotiated by the manor owners to two silver coins after the two sides negotiated sincerely - for fear that Anson would go back on the price.
In addition, all the property owners present also collectively promised that as long as the training of these "security employees" is completed, they will immediately sign an employment agreement with Newland Corporation (referred to as) for no less than half a year.
It means that the company has not yet opened, and the first order has already been made.
Of course, the reason why they are willing to do this is not all because An Sen can send troops to help them get their property back. A very important reason is that the price quoted by the New World Company is cheap enough, which is half lower than that of the ordinary mercenary group!
Among them, there is no expectation that the shooting army can support itself entirely on commissions and prevent them from getting out of control; it is Ansen, who has various resources, who can reduce the cost to a level that makes his colleagues desperate.
An ordinary mercenary group of dozens of people is not only difficult to find work projects, but also has unstable income.
But these problems obviously do not exist for Newland.
Relying on the relationship with the Confederacy and even various colonies, the mercenaries of the New World Company are naturally unimpeded, and they can also use the military camps and fortresses set up by the Storm Division in various places. ...at least in the current environment, beast slaves have no human rights.
And no matter how big or small, the business types of mercenary groups are very limited, and they often only dare to do what they are familiar with; but Anson has no such concerns at all: escorting caravans, developing colonies, clearing indigenous settlements, personal security, mansion guards, Long-distance mail...the scope of coverage can be as broad as it is wide.
Customers vote with their feet. In the face of a New World company that is cheap and full of good service, and a mercenary group that is difficult to say with low price and high strength, it is clear which one to choose; and when these small mercenary groups are all squeezed out of the market, I don't even have to worry about running out of business.
After all, for businesses of this kind of "hard currency" and "rigid demand", as long as the initial investment is enough to crush the peers, it is very natural to form a regional monopoly.
And relying on the high-quality and low-cost services provided by the New World Corporation, the security factor of the New World colonies will inevitably increase, and then economic activities will be able to prosper together; the reduction of the number of animal slaves also avoids the contradiction between the indigenous people and the colonists. The mercenary group that has been forced to change careers can also be invested in more meaningful undertakings such as production and construction and colonization.
When he thought of how his small actions could bring so many benefits to the new world at the same time, An Sen felt the great responsibility, and his spiritual level took on a new look, and his soul seemed to be sublimated at this moment...
"So...you found a bunch of big bosses to help you reduce the cost of raising a shooting army, and by the way opened a security company that can squeeze all the small mercenary groups to the point where they can't do it?" Carl raised his eyebrows:
"While recruiting private soldiers for yourself and asking them to work hard for you to earn money, the wicked idea of not losing at all really has your style."
"I think you have overlooked the social significance that this army can produce and its contribution to the long-term stability of the entire New World." Anson retorted confidently:
"Not to mention the benefits brought by the reduction of 20,000 dangerous indigenous people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ just how many jobs can be provided by various supporting industrial chains and how much wealth can be created in the entire New World - they should also thank me! "
"Tell those homeless mercenaries and adventurers about this—it was a miserable life in the homeland, but in the New World, you will be forced to compete for positions." Rolled his eyes:
"One more thing, even if you can recruit enough soldiers, what about the officers - even if it's only at the first level of the company, 20,000 people will need 200 or 300 officers to operate, otherwise it's not as good as a gang of thugs!"
"Don't worry about this, I already have a complete plan, you just need to help me train them with the Marine Corps instructor." Anson patted the adjutant on the shoulder:
"The training time is six weeks for each batch of 4,000; before the spring of next year, I want to see 15,000 trained shooting soldiers assemble and stand by to fight for the independence and freedom of the new world!"
Arming the natives of the New World and defending the New World from the Old Continent...it's perfect.
