Alien Empire Total War

"A hunter, I didn't expect that a hunter would be drawn."

If the hunters are described in modern terms, they are more like snipers. They prefer to hide in bunkers and wait for the enemy to approach, and snipe the enemy with their precise marksmanship. They are good at ambush and harass the enemy from a distance.

Accurate marksmanship brings a shortcoming in close combat. They will suffer heavy losses when they face each other, especially when they are charged by cavalry.

In fact, Charlie prefers to draw line infantry or more elite grenadiers, these two are the mainstream infantry troops in the current war.

Instead of worrying about the trooper, Charlie turned his attention to the reward of 2,000 gold coins.

If these 2,000 gold coins are exchanged for the real world, it would be a huge wealth. The Rumont Kingdom adopts the gold and silver double standard system. This system refers to the currency system that uses both gold and silver as the standard currency at the same time. Its characteristics are: Both gold and silver are designated as legal tender, and both coins are the main currency, both can be freely minted, both have the effect of unlimited repayment, and both can be freely minted, circulated, exchanged, exported and imported.

In the narrow sense, the gold and silver double standard system can also be divided into parallel standard system and double standard system. The Lann Kingdom adopts the dual standard system, that is, the exchange ratio between gold coins and silver coins is determined by official legislation or other compulsory methods. Prohibiting ordinary people to make changes helps to stabilize commodity prices.

Compared with the parallel standard system, which is not conducive to the needs of social development, the dual standard system is more popular in various countries.

In addition to the gold and silver coins as the local currency, there are also cheaper copper coins circulating in the market of the kingdom as auxiliary coins. These auxiliary coins are basically used in daily sporadic transactions or change. The exchange rates of the three metal coins are not uniform. The ratio of copper coins to silver coins is 60:1, and the ratio of silver coins to gold coins is 40:1.

Because the use of silver coins is more common, the army is paid in silver coins. The salary of Lieutenant Charlie is 200 Rumont silver per month. This kind of income is already high in the Rumont Kingdom - an ordinary bread in Ankerton City The monthly income of the workshop workers is only about 120 silver coins.

The recruitment fee and maintenance fee of the system army use gold coins, but the price is not the price in the game in Charlie's memory, it seems to be twice as high as that. For example, the recruitment fee of the line infantry is 968 gold coins, and the maintenance fee is 292. Gold Coins - With Charlie's current fortune, without relying on the strength of the family, he can recruit another line of infantry and maintain it for several months without going bankrupt.

Pulled away.

While Charlie was thinking, the soldiers who went to chase down the routed soldiers also withdrew one after another. Their faces were smeared by the smoke from the burning of gunpowder, but they were all excited, obviously not since the victory just now. out of joy.

Charlie didn't let them be silly. Under his order, the soldiers began to count and check the number of losses in the company. It didn't take long for him to learn of the battle losses in this battle.

Of the 120 people in the entire company, only eight unlucky ones were hit by the muskets of the Okalos. Three of them were hit and died on the spot. The other five were also injured to varying degrees. The most seriously injured may not be able to return to the fortress. .

This is the battlefield of the era of queuing and shooting. Soldiers bravely marched against the enemy's shooting. They did not know where a bullet would hit them in the next second, even if the accuracy of the musket was improved with the development of technology. , but most people's shooting still relies on metaphysics to decide whether to hit or not.

Not long after Charlie's formation was completed, Captain Doyle walked back from the battalion headquarters. Just as Charlie was about to step forward to inquire, he saw him wave his hand to himself, and then stood in front of all the soldiers of the company with a solemn expression.

"I just got the news from the battalion headquarters that the Army Department ordered the Second Brigade to return to Ankerton City to suppress the rebel mob in the Ankerton Region."

Chaos party mob?

Charlie frowned slightly and looked at Doyle with puzzled eyes. The latter did not respond to him, but adjusted the triangular cap on his head and said sharply: "All stand at attention, turn left! Go to Edford Fortress. go ahead!"

…

The 3rd Battalion, which had just destroyed an enemy army, had not had time to rest before returning to Fort Edford with the order of the brigade headquarters. The battlefield here was left to the supply team they rescued to clean up. There are very few officers like Doyle who will tell the brigade orders. Most of the soldiers don’t know what happened. They are still complaining that they are not given a chance to clean the battlefield and pick up leaks, but they are quickly affected by those expressions. The solemn officer scolded shut up.

During the march, Charlie had the opportunity to ask Doyle about the rioters. Although he was mentally prepared with Anton's reminder, he did not expect a riot to happen.

"Things are a bit complicated. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Facing Charlie's question, Doyle said he didn't know too much, "The only thing I know at the moment is that the workers in the Ankerton region started to strike, asking the king to lower the Taxing them, the strike quickly turned into a riot, joined by some ignorant peasants and poor people piling up on the city streets, who started smashing shops and hanging the mayor and sheriff of Bedos."

"You also know that most of the kingdom's army is transferred here to fight the enemy in the north. The army that can be transferred in the country is almost zero except for the weak local garrison. Our brigade has just withdrawn from the front line and has been repaired. I guess that's why the War Department sent us back to Ankerton to suppress the insurrection."

After listening to his remarks, Charlie felt something suspicious. He analyzed: "The king convened a cabinet meeting not long ago to raise the tax rate for factory owners, businessmen and farmers, and it didn't take long for a riot to occur. There must be some tricks in it.”

"What do you mean?" Doyle squinted at him, was silent for a few seconds, and then said the answer in Charlie's heart: "Do you think it's the ghosts of those new nobles?"

"indeed so."

Charlie nodded.

"Heh, Cross, even if it's a ghost from the new nobles, what does this have to do with us? We just need to obey orders. As for the dirty politics, let the bureaucrats themselves Go mix it up."

After speaking, he added another sentence and muttered: "But this is a good thing for us, at least we don't have to go back to that cruel battlefield."

Charlie looked at him in amazement, and then he noticed that the captain's face was already full of tiredness, and he had only seen this look in his memory from an old man who had returned from military service in his family.
