Lord of Industrialization

"What the hell are these Wesen people doing?!"

The local merchants were very depressed. The officers of the Osmaga Empire who came with them had been drinking and partying for three days and three nights to celebrate the end of the sea voyage, but the Wesen people had kept the gates of the barracks closed.

A group of bosses gathered in the tavern, drinking and discussing this matter.

Everyone knew that the Principality of Wesen had dug a canal with milk and honey flowing, and had countless wealth. For this reason, they had already prepared the best wine and women to make a fortune.

However, several days had passed, and no one came out of the barracks.

A boss suddenly shuddered and said cautiously: "Is that rumor true?"

After he finished speaking, the whole tavern seemed to have pressed the mute button.

The legend that the Wesen Army was a legion of devils naturally spread here, but the locals just took it as bragging to scare children and didn't take it seriously.

But now the Wesen Army doesn't eat, drink and have fun like other armies. Are they really not human but devils?

A group of people looked at each other.

At the same time, everyone was busy in the Wesson Army's barracks.

The 3rd Division of the Wesson Army, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Mage Regiment and the Air Force Experimental Brigade came to the Kingdom of Tarago in the name of "The Knights of St. Elizabeth of the Brothers Germain" and were about to go to the western defense line to assist in defending against pagans.

Internally, this unit was named "Western Front Corps" and Eugene served as the commander-in-chief.

Eugene is under a lot of pressure now.

In the military, he has never independently commanded the Wesson Army to win a victory on the spot. Without military merits to support him, many people are dissatisfied in their hearts.

What's more terrible is that in politics, the Kingdom of Gaul has participated in the civil war of the Kingdom of Tarago, and the commander-in-chief of the Gallic Army is Eugene's father, Prince Moritz.

Although there are many things about the children of the big families serving their own masters now, it does not prevent some rumors from emerging.

Eugene racked his brains to command the army well.

Political rumors can be ignored, as long as Frederick trusts it, everything else is false.

Military matters require effort.

After the troops arrived, the barracks were completely sealed off and the entire army counted the supplies.

The entire army had been transporting by sea for a month. Although there was no shipwreck, the fleet was not their own, so they were always worried.

The Wesson Army had a classification of military supplies. Weapons, ammunition, equipment, spare parts and military uniforms were the highest first-class products, and they were strictly prohibited from flowing out.

Tents, medicines and daily necessities were second-class products, and in principle they were prohibited from flowing out. They could be used as diplomatic gifts after the consent of the division-level officers.

Food was a third-class product, and the grassroots companies distributed it according to the quantity. The officers who resold their own share did not care. If they were hungry, they would bear the consequences.

The General Staff formulated relevant response measures early in the morning, such as arranging special personnel to take care of it, transporting more food and wine as gifts, and making good friends with the crew, etc.

But it was inevitable that some supplies were missing.

The first-class products were strictly guarded. Only more than 30 boxes of firearms were pried open and a little was taken from each box, and the same was true for bullets. The loss was not large.

Some canned food and other foods were also stolen. Some people put the empty cans back after eating, and the loss was expected.

The things that lost the most were speechless.

"The most stolen items were the yellow wash basins."

Erich, the chief of staff of the 3rd Division and the Western Front Corps, was also somewhat helpless when reading the report at the meeting.

He continued, "The second is underwear. There are more than a dozen boxes with only the top few pieces left, and the bottom is all rags."

The yellow wash basins distributed by the Wesson Army are sturdy plastic basins, and the underwear are pure cotton boxer briefs and T-shirts, which are all best-sellers in the market. It is not surprising that they are given special attention.

Eugene said, "Report the losses truthfully."

He can't control these things, and Frederick has to step in and take care of what he can control first.

He took a sip of tea from the thermos and said to the leaders of the 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 3rd Cavalry, 2nd Mage, Air Force Experimental Squadron, and the two sword masters Dennis and Dixon: "Next, the entire army will assemble, maintain and test all weapons and equipment to prevent problems from occurring at the front line."

"Take a few days off after the test."

"After the rest, we will walk nearly 300 kilometers of mountain roads to Fort St. George and take charge of the defense there."

"The defense zone of the Osmaga Empire is in the city of Setobriga, more than 30 kilometers to the south."

"These two places are important passes from the enemy Kingdom of Madeira to the Kingdom of Tarago in the west, where Archduke Suarez has deployed heavy troops."

"We are about to face a different enemy than before," "Enemy Situation Analysis" You have all read it. Read it again when you have time. "

"The commander said that the relevant departments have people on the other side. After arriving at Fort St. George, they will make the latest enemy situation report there."

After Eugene finished talking about the military arrangements, he took another sip of tea and continued, "Next, I will talk about the locals."

"There are two red lines in military law in this regard. One is to prohibit robbery and the other is to prohibit adultery."

"These two military laws are not only useful in the Duchy of Wessen, but also here."

"I won't talk about robbery. Compared with the Duchy of Wessen, this place is a poor and remote place. The most valuable thing is the tractor, and those glassware, beautiful clothes, magic lamps, and air conditioners are all made in the Duchy of Wessen. If you have the ability, you can rob them and sell them back."

After he finished speaking, the conference room was filled with laughter.

Now the industrial products of the Duchy of Wessen are sold everywhere. Maybe some of them are produced in factories invested by these officers.

Eugene continued, "You can find a lover here. If you want to take her back, you can report it. This is in accordance with the old rules of Hanma City, so I won't say more."

"In short, there are two points. Don't use force, and don't tell others about the things in the army."

In this era, soldiers and bandits are inseparable, especially for troops from other places. It is normal for locusts to pass through the border.

Frederick has been eliminating the banditry in the army by improving treatment and enhancing the sense of honor.

If the army is like bandits, it will gradually degenerate into warlords, and phenomena such as factionalism and disobedience to orders will appear, and gradually get out of control.

Therefore, there are several red lines in military law. If you cross them, you will die, and there is no mercy.

Eugene didn't have much prestige in the army, so he didn't mind borrowing some heads who crossed the red line.

The order was issued layer by layer and soon reached the hands of the soldiers.

Krom organized the whole class to read out the order, and then he pointed out the names of Zikel and two other recruits who joined the army last year and said: "You young people should pay attention and keep your belts. If you like someone, just say something nice to coax him, don't use force."

Ziker said unconvinced: "Why don't you say Zopel?"

Krom smiled, patted Zopel's shoulder and said: "I want to see if he dares."

Zopel just smiled foolishly and didn't say anything. Hannah came with the Air Force Experimental Group, but she didn't tell them in advance for confidentiality reasons. She didn't know until they met in Ferdinand Harbor.

Krom stopped teasing Zopel and continued: "Everyone should keep a tight line in their minds. If someone asks you about the military, don't tell them stupidly, report it immediately."
