Take the Empire To the Other World

"To put it simply, the French Napoleon is the strongest, but the relationship with the other four countries is not good."

Zhao Ritian stroked back, and at the same time, he was still thinking that the name of the emperor of France was too awkward and ugly!

"It was Napoleon, he was a great emperor, but what I said was that he had a bad relationship with the four big countries. In fact, besides these four big countries, there are other small European countries.

Of course, they also open up the mercenary business.

The position of these small countries is different from that of big countries. No matter which big country you sign an employment agreement with, you can also sign another employment agreement with those small countries at the same time. As long as they make money, they are very happy to sell their own mercenaries.

After all, compared to the national strength of those small countries, their number of troops is too much, which seriously exceeds the military budget. However, with a big country at their side, they can only maintain a huge standing army that does not match their own strength in order to avoid the disaster of national subjugation.

Therefore, these small countries can only subsidize military expenditures by selling their own standing armies to the outside world.

Among these small countries, the main ones that tend to be the French Empire are the Republic of Batavia, the Swiss Confederation, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Milan-Italy Kingdom, and Spain Kingdom.

The small countries that tend to be an anti-French alliance are mainly the Kingdom of Naples, the Kingdom of Sicily, and the Kingdom of Sweden.

The above small countries belong to their respective camps. If you sign an employment treaty with the French Empire, you cannot sign a second employment treaty with the small countries of the Anti-French Alliance, and vice versa.

However, for neutral countries, there is no such restriction.

The neutral countries mainly include the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Portugal, Mecklenburg, Denmark, Hesse, Saxony, Oldenburg, the Papal States, and the Kingdom of Sardinia.

However, although mercenaries from small countries are easy to obtain, their standing armies are far inferior to those of large countries. Even the Austrian army, which has the lowest military quality among large countries, has a combat effectiveness far superior to these small countries.

After all, the Habsburg dynasty was also very strong. The reason why the army did not perform well on the battlefield was not because the Austrian army was weak, but because the enemies of the Habsburg dynasty were too strong.

The most important thing is that the price of troops hired from these small countries is not much cheaper than that of big countries. Small countries sell you troops to make money, so naturally it is impossible to lower the price, even if their combat effectiveness does not match the price they offer.

Oh, by the way, if the favored person behind you has a lot of gold coins, he can even hire a small country to fight for you!

Of course, this sub-country, as far as I know, the Kingdom of Sardinia, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, Saxony, and Hesse are willing to serve as mercenaries!

As long as you can pay the price, they will send all the standing troops to fight for the favored one behind you, but the army is still commanded by their own commander.

The price is related to the enemies given by the gods behind you. After all, the international risks borne by a person like Napoleon the Great are completely different from dealing with a lonely second- and third-rate country like the Kingdom of Spain. "

"In that case..." Zhao Ritian paused in the middle of speaking, and listened attentively to what the ancestor whispered in his ear.

Later, Zhao Ritian said to Schwarzenegger expressionlessly: "The great ancestor has decided to sign an employment contract with Napoleon, the emperor of the French Empire."

Schwarzenegger smiled after hearing this: "There is no need to sign a contract with Napoleon the Great, we are just an ordinary employment business, and it is not worth asking Napoleon the Great himself.

But let me remind you one last thing, once the employment treaty is signed, except for neutral countries and allies of the French Empire, you will no longer be able to hire any soldiers from countries in the Anti-French Alliance from now on. "

"Sign up, we're ready!"

[Ding, congratulations on signing the mercenary treaty with the French Empire. Since this is the first country you choose to sign, you have gained the friendship of the French Empire, and they are willing to sell you mercenaries at the lowest price. 】

After the reminder, Wang Ziming received a list of employment prices for various arms of the French Empire.

After reading the price list, Wang Ziming couldn't help complaining: "The price setting is too unreasonable.

It’s fine if there are no Tier 4 soldiers in France. Anyway, the weapons used by advanced Tier 4 soldiers are as good as ordinary people. But why is there such a big price gap between Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 soldiers? ! "

In Wang Ziming's consciousness, one hundred French line infantry and light infantry, who were set as Tier 1 soldiers by the different space, only needed to spend one magic stone gold coin to recruit, and they only needed food and lodging without any military salary!

This price is 10 times lower than that of Tier 1 soldiers in Mount and Blade Fire and Sword!

However, before Wang Ziming could show a smile, the recruitment price of Tier 2 soldiers made Wang Ziming stunned.

French Tier 2 soldiers include Grenadiers, Jaegers, Young Guards, Hussars, Chasseurs, and Dragoons. It can be said that the arms are very complete, but the price is unified at 10 magic stone gold coins, and the monthly salary is 1 magic stone. Stone coins!

Why did the recruiting price increase tenfold?

Judging from the introduction, Tier 2 soldiers are not much stronger than Tier 1 soldiers!

Not to mention fighting one out of ten, under the muzzle of muskets, two Tier 1 line infantry may defeat a Tier 2 Grenadier!

This price/performance ratio is very unscientific in the eyes of Wang Ziming, either the tier 1 soldiers are too cheap or the tier 2 soldiers are terribly inflated!

But when Wang Ziming saw the price of Tier 3 soldiers, his values ​​were completely shattered...

He even wondered if Schwarzenegger was playing himself to deliberately raise the price of Tier 3 soldiers!

Tier 3 French Empire troops include Old Guards, Lancers, Cuirassiers, and Guards. All of them are top elites in the game, but one hundred people need a recruitment price of 50 magic stone gold coins, and the monthly salary has reached 10 magic stone gold coins is a bit too much...

Although the monthly salary is not high, the recruitment price is definitely the most expensive unit that Wang Ziming has seen in the different space, and it is evenly distributed to 5 magic stone gold coins for every 10 people!

This is only Tier 3 soldiers, and it is more expensive than Tier 4 soldiers in Horse Riding and Slashing Fire and Sword...

Originally, Wang Ziming thought that because the army in Napoleon's total war was equipped with a large number of guns and artillery, the ranks of soldiers were of little significance. Guns and guns were treated equally, and the price gap would be smaller. He didn't expect to do the opposite...

Isn't this forcing the "thrifty" Wang Ziming to use the most cost-effective Tier 1 line infantry and light infantry?

10 line infantry can kill a Tier 2 Grenadier even with their eyes closed. Idiots let the Tier 1 Line Infantry who don’t need wages need to recruit Tier 2 Grenadiers who pay 10 times the price... …

The only pity is that there is no cavalry unit in the tier 1 soldiers, otherwise Wang Ziming promised that he would not look at the price list of the tier 2 soldiers, let alone the outrageously expensive tier 3 soldiers!

Wang Ziming quickly skipped the infantry list and looked at the artillery exchange price list at the back.
