Alien Empire Total War

It has been three days since he went to the theater with Sophia. In the past three days, Charlie has only occasionally met and said a few words with Sophia, who came to see Rosa at the Cross Manor, and there is no more contact.

The expansion plan he submitted to the War Department finally had an echo, along with a message from his uncle, Deputy Minister Gunila, who had entrusted him, but it wasn't much good news for Charlie.

First of all, the expansion plan was discussed by the officials of the Ministry of War and submitted to the National Assembly for approval. Although the Santos Party raised objections, it was passed with the push of the nobles. Accepted, although not specifically stated, but Charlie was able to go south to recruit troops.

The War Department's order was brought by Uncle Gunila's people. After accepting the order, the War Department official also repeated the Deputy Minister's message: The War Department originally wanted Charlie to lead the team to suppress the South. There was a rebellion, but the National Assembly handed over the task of suppressing the rebellion to the newly formed capital defense division on the grounds that the expansion of Charlie’s department had not yet ended, and was prepared to be soft-hearted and deal with the small-scale rebels first.

At the same time, in order to alleviate the economic crisis after the Great Revolution, the National Assembly announced that the factories in the hands of the newly promoted aristocrats would be nationalized, and implemented currency reform, replacing metal currency with cheaper paper currency.

However, the gold and silver standard was deeply ingrained in the Rumont Republic, and the sudden announcement that paper money would be used instead of metal currency was unacceptable to many citizens and nobles. Several old nobles who held shares in the national bank took the opportunity to propose that they could open loans to the government. But the price was mortgaged with factories on the east side of the city.

Although the funds in the underground treasury of the National Bank were all stolen by unknown forces, after the establishment of the National Assembly, the nobles quickly transferred the funds stored in various places to the capital to fill the empty funds after the theft.

As a result, a strange phenomenon has arisen. The national bank's underground gold vault holds a large amount of funds, while the new government's treasury is seriously empty. It can only search factories and even issue paper money to fill the huge funding loophole.

In order to alleviate the current economic crisis, the National Assembly had to agree to the proposal of the National Bank to mortgage dozens of factories in the Eastern District to the bank in exchange for a loan of nearly ten million silver coins.

It is worth mentioning that although the Santos party and the nobles have tacitly put the crime of stealing the National Bank on the newly promoted nobles in the capital, they have not stopped tracking the real murderer, but no matter how they trace it, they will find it. There was no trace of the transfer of a large amount of money, and the investigation was interrupted for a time.

Although the urgency was relieved by the bank loan, in order to solve the financial crisis as soon as possible, the proposal to stop the foreign war was put on the agenda of the National Assembly again. Among the current government expenditures, military expenditure is undoubtedly one of the behemoths. Therefore, it was decided to stop the war and abolish the national army to reduce military expenditure.

What's more important is that the nobles dare to be so arrogant because of those armies. After their influence in the army is reduced, the Santos Party will no longer have to be afraid of them.

…

All of this has nothing to do with Charlie. After receiving the munitions and the check with fifty thousand silver coins from the War Department and the Treasury Department respectively, he ordered the army to regroup and leave the city of Ankerton.

Before leaving, he specially said goodbye to Sophia. The girl was very happy when she learned that he was only recruiting troops and did not need to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. She told Charlie to remember to write a letter to himself when he arrived in the south, and then watched Charlie leave with the general guard.

The number of Charlie's department is the seventh brigade, which is also the seventh separate combat brigade in the army. The first stop of his recruitment is the fief of the Clos family - the southern Reed province of the Ankerton region. Burnham area.

After hundreds of years of struggle, the royal family of the Rumont Kingdom has taken all the cities in the country under the direct jurisdiction of the state. No matter the size of the nobility, the nobles only keep the towns and villages as fiefs. The same is true for the Clos family. Most of the real estate outside the capital Berna City belongs to the fief of the Clos family, with more than 100,000 residents living on it, most of which are farmers who are bound to the farmland.

The Deli Clos family has always seldom oppressed the peasants. After the outbreak of the revolution, not many people joined the small-scale riots that broke out in the territory, and they were quickly suppressed by the militia of the police station, so the production order here did not change much. .

After Charlie brought his team to the Burnham area, he took advantage of his identity as a member of the Cross family to start a conscription in the local area. Benefiting from his identity, the officials in the territory could not interfere with his behavior, and could only watch those Young people tired of farming responded enthusiastically.

In order to attract more people to join the army, Charlie decided to increase the soldier's salary without authorization. Before the outbreak of the revolution, the salary of an ordinary soldier was 80 silver coins per month. And Charlie directly raised the salary of ordinary private soldiers to 100 silver coins per month, which happened to be the salary of a sergeant before the revolution.

Don't underestimate the increase of 20 silver coins, in these economic turbulent times, the monthly salary of 100 silver coins has exceeded many stable jobs, so except for the Burnham area, civilians in other parts of Reed Province heard the wind. Also went here to sign up for the military.

As a result, in just one month, Charlie recruited three full-scale infantry regiments, and all the soldiers in the original system were promoted. They were originally students in the military academy and were no strangers to commanding operations. After serving as officers, they can also be competent for the job.

At the same time as recruiting, Charlie also began to train new recruits. These recruits were no better than the citizens of Ankerton who had been converted into militiamen by him. They could not even stand in the most basic queues, and only some of them had the experience of shooting. , so the training of new recruits has become the most important task.

Charlie doesn't need to worry about this, his loyal and elite system soldiers will help him handle everything, and all he has to worry about is the logistics of the army.

…

three months later.

A qualified line infantryman must undergo a minimum of three months of training. This sentence is very fitting to the soldiers of Charlie's 7th Brigade.

After three months of training, the soldiers of the 7th Brigade became qualified soldiers. Under the strict training of systematic soldiers, they were able to form a neat queue in the fastest time, and the loading time was also fast. To achieve four to five rounds per minute, although it is not as good as a team composed of pure system soldiers, it is not bad compared with other domestic troops.

During these three months of training, many things happened in other parts of the country.
