"Brothers, I am the new logistics officer of the Fifth Battalion. My name is Cons Rarenter. The rank is second lieutenant."

When Cons said this, he glanced at everyone. The scene of these hundreds of people was a piece of cake for him.

Several team leaders who were a little rebellious in their hearts were shocked by Cons's eyes and did not dare to slander Cons in their hearts anymore.

"Since everyone knows me, now we will receive military pay according to the squadron number, and the non-commissioned officers will come to me directly to collect it." After saying that, Cons nodded to the five logistics commanders.

The five sergeant commanders who received the instructions immediately shouted according to the list: "First Squadron First Team, Private XXX! Monthly salary is two gold coins, a total of four gold coins. Come on, draw a note."

Oak also stood up and shouted: "The first squadron leader, Sgt. Geralt, a monthly salary of fifteen gold coins, a total of thirty gold coins!"

With the sound of chanting names, drawings and hitting gold coins one by one, the originally impetuous morale began to calm down.

The soldiers who received the money gathered together in groups of three or three to discuss how to spend it. Although there was no place to spend money nearby, they still enjoyed it.

Soon, the box was empty and the money was sent. The team gathered again. Cons could see at a glance that the spirit of these soldiers was much better than before.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Brothers, I have received the military pay. Who gave this military pay? Empire! It is the reward for the Empire to protect the Empire! It is the money for the Empire to work hard for the Empire!"

When everyone heard Cons' words, they blinked and looked at Cons quietly.

"I believe everyone knows what the atmosphere on the border has been like recently. So in order to deserve this military pay, this lieutenant hopes that you will practice your skills under the leadership of the Shangguans. How about it? Can you do it?" Cons shouted loudly.

"Can do it!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Okay, now I order all the non-commissioned officers to stay and the rest will be dissolved."

Cons saluted, and the soldiers below returned the salute, and then they dispersed.

The team leader who stayed in the same place with other non-commissioned officers felt bitter.

In just a moment, the second lieutenant in front of him took away the command without leaving any trace. Those guys disbanded without asking him, and they were useless to treat them so well before! How fucking it!

The team leader, who was more concerned, was shocked.

This lieutenant is awesome!

He personally paid the salary as soon as he came. Although the money was given by the empire, he was the one who sent the money. In this year, ordinary people were still used to listening to whoever they received.

And what's particularly amazing is that he actually pointed out his military rank several times, the second lieutenant, and the largest officer in the brigade, although he is in charge of logistics, there is a regulation in the military law that when the chief officer of the army cannot perform his duties, the person with the highest military rank will automatically obtain the right to manage the troops. It is legitimate to manage the brigade now. Unless an officer with a higher level than him appears, no one can do anything to him.

I believe this is also the reason why my confidants act so obediently.

Cons summoned these non-commissioned officers, but did not show any demonstrations again. They just told them to strengthen the training of soldiers and asked about the troops what supplies they lacked. There were several non-commissioned officers who wanted to express their thoughts on Cons' crossing the boundaries, but were dispelled by the words of others. Finally, they also told them what supplies their troops were lacking.

After Cons recorded these, he let them leave.

After looking at the number of items lacking, Oak said bitterly: "Sir, as I said above, there is almost nothing. It requires more than 600 sets of military uniforms and boots, more than 300 sets of saddles and horseshoes, thousands of bowstrings, and at least 500 sets of weapons to be replaced.

"More importantly, the food is only enough for one month now. According to the logistics soldiers, there is no way to collect any food within a radius of fifty miles. Now it is only possible to see if you can get these supplies from the county town."

Cons had a headache about this problem. Just look at the supplies he transported this time and knew that it was impossible to think about a large amount of supplies from the wing.

Just when Cons was worried, the five logistics commanders who handed over the account book came in. Of course, Cons threw the problem to them as soon as possible.

The logistics commander laughed: "Sir, don't listen to those squad leader's swearing around. Except for food, other materials, all the requirements for other materials must be greatly reduced. For example, if you need 600 sets of military uniforms and boots, in fact, only ten or twenty guys' uniforms and boots need to be replaced, while three hundred sets of saddles and horseshoes are even more fake. There have not been many cavalry rigorously practiced in the past few months, and these things have not been consumed yet. The bowstring weapons are like this!"

Cons was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table suddenly: "These guys! They actually falsely reported military information!"

Seeing Cons get angry, the sergeants shrank their heads, and the older sergeants said with courage: "Sir, you can't blame them, after all, everyone is scared by the restrictions of the corps. They want to get a large amount of supplies to store them before they can feel at ease."

Hearing this, Cons sighed, shook his head and said, "How to solve the problem of food?"

"Hey, don't worry about this, merchants will come to our town soon." The sergeants laughed again, and they felt a little lewd.

Cons raised his brow: "Businessman? Is there a fixed businessman passing here?"

"It's not a fixed businessman. These merchants have the most sensitive sense of smell. We just paid military pay, and in less than a few days, they will come to the door with the smell of gold. At that time, there are food, horses, weapons, wine, and women. They will have everything. If we don't empty our military pay, they will not leave!" The sergeants swallowed while saying, looking expectant.

"Where are they from?" Cons knew that these merchants were like the military camp of Qi Hongguo, who specialized in military business, but the military camp of Qi Hongguo was fixed and followed a unit, unlike the empire that changed at any time.

But their news is really so well-informed? It should be someone in the army who informed them?

"There are provincial capitals, county governments, Feimu Banner Alliance, and some local merchants with strong capital. Anyway, they are a mixture of various regions." The sergeant said hurriedly.

"There are people from Feimu Banner Alliance, too? Didn't we say that we have a tense relationship with them? Can we sell weapons to them?" Cons asked curiously.

"Sir, the Feimu Banner Alliance is not a whole. There are at least hundreds of herds and flags that usually live in each other. Although these herds and flags stay under the same flag, they usually don't fight to kill and annex each other in China.

"So although the wind is tight here, it is amazing that the pastoral flags that live on the border have ambitions for our territory. The pastoral flags in other places still do business with us. I heard that the money earned by doing business with us is enough for their pastoral flag to spend a year on a one-year living expenses. As for weapons, because there is no ban, of course it is OK."

Cons didn't care specifically whether the Muqi could buy weapons. He cared about something else: "You mean, the Feimuqi Alliance is not united, there is a plate of loose sand inside? Even if it invades, it's just a few Muqi flags alone?"

"Yes, that's why the officers above care so much, because even if a war breaks out, even if our territory is occupied, they can easily drive the enemy out. It's just that we soldiers stationed on the border. This is also the reason why the upper class of the empire does not restrict the sale of weapons to them at all." The sergeant sighed.

Only then did Cons truly understand why the officers took it so lightly.

Although the gold mine is the cause, the real reason is that this enemy is loose sand and the lack of large-scale attacks is the real reason.

However... Although Feimu Banner Alliance used to be a mess, who can guarantee that they are still a mess now?

As the logistics commander said, in just a few days, a large number of people dressed in nomads drove thousands of horses and dozens of carts to Kulong Town.

Their group has three first days in total. They are divided into three old men's flags by age, and are divided into three herds flags of Feimu Banner League.

As soon as they arrived, they obediently gave Cons a horse with a beautiful saddle.

Originally, Cons' original intention was to not accept gifts, but the logistics commander reminded that this was a custom and a rule. If the garrison chief officer did not accept gifts, the business group would misunderstand that the chief officer would not welcome them and instead go to other places. Upon hearing this, Cons immediately accepted the gifts and immediately agreed to their request to hold a seven-day market.

After Cons agreed to their request, Xiang Wen immediately reminded him to show that he liked their gifts very much. Cons could only helplessly turn over and ride his horse.

After watching Cons leave, the middle-aged leader whispered: "The skills such as riding horses and riding are absolutely superb, and they can be compared with the top riders in our country."

The young leader was a little dissatisfied: "Is that guy so powerful? He's just a second lieutenant."

The middle-aged leader smiled and said, "You must carefully study the military system of the Ultraman Empire. The rank of lieutenant must kill ten enemies on the front line to be promoted. Don't underestimate the officers who rose from the bottom of the Ultraman Empire, who have no backing, all rose up with their own swords and minds."

The young leader was still a little dissatisfied: "I still don't believe he can compare with the top riders in our country."

At this moment, the elderly leader spoke, "The lieutenant's riding skills were made by forging chains on the battlefield, and our top riders could barely compete with him."

Hearing this, the two leaders of Zhongqing looked shocked.

"Then, do you still have to send him a beautiful woman to accompany him until the end of the market as usual?" the middle-aged leader asked respectfully.

The young leader interrupted with a fierce expression and said, "I still object! This has always been a shame for our warriors. The warriors on the grassland have no habit of sending women to serve people. You must know that we have not even arranged the money-making service in brothels, so why should we send women to the lieutenant to play?"

The middle-aged leader wanted to say something, but the old leader had already shook his head and said, "No, I think he has no interest in the women we sent."

The middle-aged leader immediately said with a sudden expression: "The close servant beside him is dressed as a woman? No wonder he is so beautiful."

The young leader immediately nodded in agreement and looked reminiscent.

No wonder they misjudged it, because Xiang Wen specially found a military uniform with a higher collar to block his Adam's apple these days. He would do this mainly because he was afraid that he would follow Cons. Whenever he was seen, those people would look at him first and then look at Cons with strange eyes.

In order to avoid embarrassment on the spot, Xiangwen would rather be misunderstood as a woman. As for what kind of discussion would be attracted when the truth was learned afterwards, it would not be considered by Xiangwen.

The old leader shook his head again: "Didn't you see the eyes of the servant? Only the servant is loyal and grateful to the master? The servant may have been rescued by him, and there is no other relationship except the master and servant. Since such a beautiful woman who can be obtained at any time can be put aside, let alone other women."

"Hey, I just don't know if he is a ceiling." The young leader guessed maliciously.

The middle-aged leader didn't want to be so unsatisfactory, so he immediately changed the topic: "Yes, if they buy war horses, will we sell them?"

"Selling, it's not time yet, and we need a lot of money to buy weapons and food. We have a lot of war horses, why don't we sell them?" said the elderly leader, and the middle-aged leader nodded after being taught.

The young leader sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have gambling experts, otherwise we could open a casino and make a lot of money."

The elderly leader smiled and said, "The casino needs many secret doors and skills, otherwise you will be despaired. These are things that we nomadic peoples cannot learn. And don't think about reaching the sky step by step, laying the foundation step by step, which is more solid than anything else. It's better to do your own thing."

Hearing this, both the Chinese and Youth leaders nodded respectfully and said yes.

After Cons returned from horseback, he immediately asked Oak to discuss the purchase of war horses with the three leaders.

The Feimuqi Allied Powers is a grassland country with very developed animal husbandry, but food and grass are not what they are good at, so they only buy war horses from them.

Cons did not pay attention to his unauthorized decision on the purpose of the brigade's funds and expanded the number of cavalry without authorization. In fact, it was overpowering. However, he didn't know, no one opposed it, and no one reminded him, so Oak, who was based on Cons' order as the guide, acted immediately.

After some bargaining, he agreed at the price of ten gold coins per horse, and Oak rushed back to ask Cons about the number of buyers.

"Ten gold coins per? So cheap?" Although Cons didn't understand the market, he also knew that he could buy two and a half horses with his monthly salary as a second lieutenant, which was really too cheap.

"The Feimuqi Allied Kingdom is a grassland country, with horses dozens of times the population, and it is very numerous. Once there are too many things, it is not worth much, so ten gold coins are reasonable. If it is not reasonable, they will not drop from fifteen gold coins." Oak said with some excellence.

“How much money do we have now?”

"Since both silver and copper coins were exchanged for the soldiers, we now have about four thousand gold coins."

"Well, just buy him two hundred horses, and use the rest to buy food."

Just as Oak was about to follow the order, Xiang Wen interrupted and said, "Sir, Weijie just ran away and said that our soldiers did not have big flowers in the Feimu Banner League market, but were careful to guard their wallets. It is said that the soldiers knew that there was nothing fun in the Feimu Banner League market, so they left the money to the merchant group that rushed to China."

"Hmm?" Cons didn't know what Xiangwen said, but he also knew that he would not say this for no reason, so he couldn't think about it carefully.

When I thought about the actions of Feimu Banner Alliance, I became clear. Cons suddenly said: "Feimu Banner Alliance knew that it could not make money from soldiers, but still asked for a seven-day market, which was obviously to sell horses to domestic merchant groups! Is that true?"

Xiang Wen smiled and said, "Yes, the chief is wise, so my subordinates thought that we could spend all our money, buy all the good horses brought by Feimu Banner Alliance, and then directly exchange them with the domestic business group for food and weapons at the domestic price. The price difference between them is very high. Wouldn't it make a fortune?"

Oak was a little worried: "Will domestic business groups disagree with this price difference transaction?"

Xiang Wen said with a smile: "Uncle Oak, don't worry, they are trading here, we are the garrison here, and we have to give face no matter how hard we can just reduce the price slightly."

After thinking about it, Cons said, "Okay, that's it. Oak, go find some cavalry who knows horses and pick up the best ones."
