Monarch of Evernight: Three Works and Cultivation
bsp;During the period of going to Fulu to participate in the war, everything in Nan Qingcheng was as usual, and the major workshops maintained the pace of work as always, and even expanded in scale. Even if the empire does not purchase the aerostat equipment produced under this system, it can be sold anywhere, and as many as there are available.
The main force of Dark Fire has been sent out, leaving only some personnel from the logistics support department. They have not been idle during this period, and have been arranging military production and receiving equipment one after another. Several warehouses are currently filled with equipment and spare parts. Two workshops specializing in the production of infantry equipment have also been completed.
Although the new research department has not been established recently, several projects have already made breakthroughs and are about to produce results. There are hundreds of projects approved at the same time. Of course, this research department did not come out of thin air. In fact, the main backbone are all the original research institutes of Ningyuan Heavy Industry.
Song Zining almost moved the entire Ningyuan Heavy Industry to a neutral place. As a top priority, the research institute was no exception. After arriving in the neutral land, the institute's projects suddenly increased, mainly studying how to transform the empire's main equipment to be suitable for the neutral land.
The climate and terrain of the continents in Yongye are completely different, and the Force environment is also different. Harsh situations such as the Neutral Land are common. Therefore, regardless of armament or aerospace craft on-board equipment, the modulation of adaptation to the local environment is a very important link.
At this time, an attendant came in, placed a new document on Qianye's desk, and said: "The information of the family members of the war dead has been compiled. Please take a look."
Qianye opened the file and read it carefully.
Nearly 40,000 mercenaries died in the Dark Fire, and the main part were foreign mercenaries recruited temporarily later. The family members of these mercenaries have not been included in the statistics for the time being, but the total number of family members of the old Dark Fire mercenaries has reached 140,000.
Dark Fire has its own base and the merged Ningyuan Heavy Industry as its foundation. Its stability is far superior to that of other mercenary groups, so many mercenaries are capable of raising more families. Among the family members, there are nearly 30,000 boys and girls over ten years old, and more than half of them possess the Force.
This ratio and level of cultivation are higher than those of Qinlu Empire. This is created by the special environment of the Neutral Land. However, everything has its pros and cons. The rapid growth stimulated by survival also causes the foundation to be unstable. Therefore, no one in the Neutral Land has ever become a king. The so-called geniuses often disappear as soon as they pass. After exhausting your potential, you can no longer make progress.
These boys and girls with Force cultivation can become qualified warriors if given a gun, and they can even become low-level officers. There is a fundamental difference in combat power between being able to shoot force bombs and being able to use only gunpowder weapons.
Excluding the elderly, there are nearly 50,000 women in their prime. When necessary, they are actually qualified soldiers.
The imperial pension standard is ten times the annual salary, which is how much military pay a soldier can get in a normal year. The death pension in battle is ten times this amount. The daily military pay for imperial soldiers is already very generous, so the pension is not low either.
In this battle of Baicheng, Anhuo played the most important role and the fight was extremely brutal, so he was compensated according to the imperial standards. Even one-third of the actual payment is twice as high as the average of the Neutral Land mercenary group.
The pension that Dark Fire received this time was nearly four million imperial gold coins, and the remaining two-thirds were about three million. For Dark Fire, this is an out-and-out huge sum of money. This pension is enough to purchase two cruisers, or all the equipment of three entire divisions of the empire's main army.
There are less than two thousand pure combatants left in the Darkfire headquarters, so recruiting new mercenaries is imperative. However, Qianye is not worried about recruiting new people. The strength of the surviving old mercenaries has greatly increased. With them as the backbone, it is easy to form a team.
When preparing for the battle at the Gate of the Maelstrom, Song Zining brought over a whole team of instructors. They are all still working secretly now. With all the equipment, they can quickly arm themselves even if they fully comply with the standards of the main army of the empire. Three divisions, and formed combat effectiveness in a short time.
How to form a new dark fire is the time to test Qianye.
Qianye took out a pen and paper and wrote draft after draft, but he was never satisfied. Even until the moon was at the top of the sky, there was still no result.
He simply threw down the pen, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared at Nan Qingcheng, who was already sleeping. This kind of thing was originally Song Zining's job, but now that he has returned to the empire, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, and Qianye cannot rely on him for everything.
Looking at Nan Qing City under the night, especially the empty Dark Fire Headquarters, Qianye gradually became calm and thought about how to proceed.
When Dark Fire was re-established in the Neutral Land, it was only to guard Nan Qing City. After Song Zining arrived, in order to support Qianye's dream of climbing the Holy Mountain, it began to expand aggressively. A large enough force is the foundation of the peak king.
That's why Dark Fire's goal has changed from the initial defense to the current external expansion and conquest. However, after thinking about it, combined with the battle in Baicheng, Qianye felt that it was necessary to form a team that could cooperate with him in the battle.
At this moment, Qianye cannot be stopped by ordinary people on the battlefield. Similarly, not just any troops can cooperate with him. It must be at least a force as good as the Scorpion King among the Red Scorpions in order to keep up with Qianye's pace.
Looking further back, the sword bearers of the Black Sun, a unit directly under the Evernight Council, are the ultimate version of this unit.
After thinking about it, Qianye abandoned the idea of forming three main divisions and distributing equipment evenly. He finally decided to recruit 50,000 people and equip them with equipment according to the standards of a top mercenary group in a neutral land. And even at the top level of the Neutral Land, the cost of 50,000 people is only equivalent to one of the empire's main divisions. With the remaining money, Qianye plans to purchase equipment according to Red Scorpion's standards and arm every warrior to the teeth.
The cost is enough to arm two main divisions. If this standard is used, it can equip up to two thousand people. But the role of these two thousand people on the battlefield will far exceed that of two divisions.
Only this kind of troops can keep up with Qianye.
The idea has been decided, and the next thing will happen quickly. Qianye didn't sleep all night, and by the time it got light, a complete plan had been formed.
Qianye rang the desk bell, called the supervisor who Song Zining had left behind, and handed him the plan. This manager was responsible for purchasing arms from the empire. When he saw Qianye's plan, his face twitched a few times. However, he carefully kept his thoughts to himself and withdrew.
Qianye's procurement plan is not easy to implement, and it contains a lot of strategic armaments strictly controlled by the empire. But since Qianye made a need, as a subordinate, he had to find a way to realize it. Song Zining was in the empire at the moment, and he could use his contacts in the empire's military circles to solve something that was really difficult to handle.
In the next few days, it will be time for Dark Fire to recruit new soldiers again.
News about the Neutral Land always spreads quickly. Within a few days, the results of the Battle of Floating Land spread throughout the Neutral Land. The dark races everywhere became more peaceful, while the human race took advantage of the opportunity. expanded.
For the mercenaries, especially those free mercenaries, they saw an opportunity. Through various channels, they swarmed to the East China Sea and rushed to Nan Qingcheng, waiting for recruitment.
Mercenary groups like Dark Fire that can participate in the Battle of Floating Land and play a key role in the battle have long gone beyond the scope of traditional mercenary groups. Many people even think that mercenary groups should no longer be used. to call it. In the duel between the two camps, the mercenary group has always played the same role as cannon fodder. They are victims used to plug gaps and perform the most dangerous tasks.
The victory of the human race in the Battle of Floating Continent and the **** battle of Dark Fire in White City have made Dark Fire's reputation unprecedentedly high, and it has become the largest mercenary group in the neutral land. At the same time, Dark Fire's stability and treatment are beyond the reach of many small mercenary groups, and even many free mercenaries who are proud of their abilities yearn for it.
After learning about Dark Fire's heavy losses in Baicheng, many mercenaries, instead of being afraid, immediately sensed an opportunity and prepared to see if they could find a place in Dark Fire.
In the past few days, Qianye first reorganized the surviving old mercenaries according to the new plan, using them as the skeleton to build the prototype of five regular divisions and an elite team, and then killed the families of the mercenaries in the battle The first round of recruitment began.
The recruitment was an unprecedented success. Most of the boys, girls and adult women with Force cultivation were willing to join. This allowed Qianye to obtain nearly 30,000 qualified soldiers in an instant. Compared with other mercenaries who came to apply, these women and children have limited combat capabilities, but their backgrounds are clean and their loyalty advantage is unmatched by strangers.
As for the mercenaries who come in a steady stream and are waiting to be recruited, they are carefully selected and organized into various units. After a round of training, they are ready for use.
A complete training cycle takes at least a month, and waiting for the imperial equipment to arrive will take longer. Regarding the specific training and reorganization, although Anhuo already has a complete process, Qianye still needs to make a decision when encountering major events. In this way, Qianye found that he just reviewed and signed various documents every day, and the day passed without realizing it.
Of course it won’t work if we continue like this, and we can’t even guarantee the training time. Zhang Boqian's completed Taixuan Military Attack Technique is still lying in the Anduya space. Although this technique is more mysterious and Qianye will need time to slowly understand it, the necessary practice time still needs to be guaranteed.
On the other hand, even if his blood was knocked down to the rank of Marquis of Glory by Zhang Boqian's supreme means, he was still on the verge of imbalance with his Force cultivation.
At times like this, decentralization is a good idea. Song Zining left behind a complete team that was completely trustworthy and capable of handling most minor matters on his own.
This is easy to say, but when it comes to doing it, Qianye starts to have a headache again. When Song Zining was here, the system had been established quite well. There were detailed rules for what people at any level could decide.
But that refers to the daily process. What Qianye is doing now is to develop new things. The decisions that come before him are important and far-reaching matters, especially those related to the positioning and development of Dark Fire's core combat power. The development part is not something that people below can do at will. If you let go of such a thing, then the entire dark fire may get out of control.
After combing through the decision-making process regulations for several days, Qianye found out that there was really nothing that could be modified. Only at this time did he really feel how difficult it was for Song Zining. This seventh young master is buried in piles of documents every day. I really don’t know how he cultivates so fast.
