Roman Empire of Total War

Chapter 747: "·I want to win military food"

The true psychology of men is always a kind of indifference to the woman they love. The moment a man loves a woman does not understand her, nor does she want to understand her, even though understanding is the only moral basis for human union.

——Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

Nearly 30,000 soldiers eat horse chews, which is very scary for the consumption of food; especially the Marquis Bedouin and those noble aristocrats who follow him, they themselves have no fixed income and food reserves, to support the soldiers Even more difficult.

The warehouse in Broyansong County is not without food reserves, but it is all the food belonging to the Fire Corps and the City Defense Army; the six thousand city defense troops in the province of Broyansong, plus 30,000 Generals of the Fire Corps, the military food required for one month Are hoarded in the warehouse.

If this batch of large amount of grain is half distributed to the army under Bedouin’s army, then both armies can last for about half a month; the crux of the problem is that the soldiers of the Legion of Fire agreed to belong to their own military grain. Appropriate for others?

The answer is definitely no. With only one month's stock of the 30,000 soldiers of the Legion of Fire, it is impossible to evenly distribute half of his precious military supplies to the Marquis of Bedouin; not to mention the relationship between Marquis of Bedouin and the Legion of Fire. bad.

As for why the Legion’s food is not in their barracks, but in the warehouse in Broyansong County; this is the arrangement that Bai Feng left before the army expedition, and its purpose is naturally used to intensify between the Marquis Bedouin and the Legion contradiction.

Bai Feng left not much food for the Legion of Fire. The next time the food for the Legion of Fire was distributed until the three days before they normally ate the food; in this way, if the Marquis of Bedouin dared to embezzle the food of the Legion of Fire, he would certainly directly A conflict with the Legion of Fire broke out.

Even the food that keeps the army alive is gone. Edel and other three generals must respond in a timely manner no matter how brave they are; otherwise, the Fire Corps, which has lost at least half of its military food, will be able to support it for half a month without food. ?

Three days after the nobles with extraordinary excitement settled in Broyansong, the cruel reality that the army's food was about to be exhausted was finally placed before the case of Marquis Bedouin; as important as the lack of food, there are points that the nobles can't wait for A cup of soup.

Those downright aristocrats who dragged their mouths to fully support the Marquis of Bedouin, just two days before their arrival in Broyansong, they were not excited to mention what made Marquis of Bedouin fulfill his promise; but not mentioning it for a while does not mean Never mention it.

After three days of inactivity, the Marquis of Bedouin made some beloved aristocrats who were betting on their belongings a bit unable to sit still; just as the food for the guards of their families was almost gone, everyone gathered by this head to Marquis of Bedouin. Check in the Governor's Mansion.

It is said that they are gathered together. In fact, no more than thirty nobles are elected representatives. In addition to all eight counts, the nobles of the three ranks of Viscount, Baron, and Knight each have six prestige status. Low representative.

After the twenty-six nobles came to the governor’s palace, Bedouin had a headache and did not refuse to meet them; after all, the Marquis of Bedouin still had to rely on their support to have capital and the Legion of Fire and Bai Feng continue to fight.

"Your Excellency, the 240 guards of our family will be out of grain in two days. When will you distribute a new batch of grain to them?" An old count who did not directly express his intentions, still Maintain the demeanor of high nobility.

"Count Abraham, my governor’s house does not have enough food to distribute to you at the moment, I hope you can find some way to buy some food from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce or the Sofia Chamber of Commerce to maintain it; after a few days, I will give you Gold coins are added."

"Your Excellency, whether it is the Westminster Chamber of Commerce or the Sofia Chamber of Commerce, their food prices are not cheap!" The Count Abraham, who was almost hollowed out, had to complain: "With our family's existing assets , I can't afford it!"

"This..." Marquis Bedouin, who had always been very good at speech, faced the complaint of Count Abraham, but he was rare and speechless; it was not that he did not want to refute, but he knew in his heart that these words said by Count Abraham, Indeed, every sentence is true.

"His Excellency, Abraham, as far as we know, there is still a large amount of food left by Bai Feng in the warehouse in the county; now that Bai Feng has led his army to leave here, why don't we take out this batch of food and divide it? "

When a barbarous-looking baron made his own suggestion, his eyes involuntarily showed greedy eyes; other noble representatives who had such intentions had heard this baron telling the key and looked at his eyes one after another. The Marquis of Bedouin on the throne.

"This... the batch of food is the food of the Legion of Fire, if we embezzle it without permission, I am afraid it is not very appropriate?"

The Marquis Bedouin, who did not directly reject the baron’s proposal, actually expressed his disapproval; the local nobles misappropriated the royal army’s food, which was not a trivial matter, even if it was in front of Charlie the Great The legion is reasonable.

"Your Excellency, you are the highest authority in our province of Broyansong. Even if the Legion of Fire is a royal legion, you cannot violate your orders while stationed in our province; not to mention, this batch of food is in our county. The warehouse in the city is not in the barracks."

The words of Count Abraham said that Marquis Bedouin suddenly gleamed in front of him; yeah, this batch of grain was in the warehouse of Broyansong County, and not in the barracks of the Legion of Fire, who can prove that this batch of grain must be Is it the food of the Legion of Fire?

"Well, I can take half of the food in the warehouse and distribute it to your families; as for the remaining half, it will be distributed by the governor's house to the Legion of Fire and serve as the food of the Legion of Fire."

"Governor is wise!" The cheap and well-behaved Marquis Bedouin had just finished speaking, and the representatives of the aristocracy complimented in unison.

"It's all about food. Is there anything else you can do?" Marquis Bedouin, who had solved the food problem as a reminder of Count Abraham, wondered what he was thinking of, and hurriedly ordered the guests out: Go back first."

The noble representatives who looked at each other did not really get up and leave immediately; at this time, most of the noble representatives did not have the courage to take the initiative to mention the true purpose of them and others who gathered in the Governor’s Palace today, so they turned their eyes to Count Abraham. .

Count Abraham, who is old-fashioned, naturally knows that today is not a good time to be honest and open; but he understands that if he delays this way, his family’s cards will gradually lose value, which is obviously not in the interests of his family.

Adhering to the belief that family interests are above everything else, Count Abraham slowly said: "Your Excellency, you have been in the governor’s palace for more than three days. Can our families, who firmly support your family, contribute to your rule of Broyansong Province? What about strength?"

As soon as Count Abraham made this statement, the troubled Marquis Bedouin knew that he could not delay his fulfilment of his promise; if he made any more excuses to procrastinate, I am afraid that the downcast nobles headed by Count Abraham would have to betray themselves Too.
