Chapter 414 Chest Char was a little embarrassed by Dax's words, thinking about it carefully, he was indeed too irresponsible as a boss, and almost most of the military affairs were handed over to Green, and he made some situations every once in a while, and then disappeared for a while.
It's no wonder that Green, the mad dog, is going crazy.
Xia Ya smiled and touched his nose: "Needless to say, let's get down to business."
What did Green say after reading my letter?"
"What else can I say" Dax pursed his lips and leaned back in his chair lazily and stretched: "I can only say, my boss, that you've proven one thing once again: your shit luck is really fucking against the sky."
The Besta Military Region was actually hooked up by you on this line, anyway, after several of our analysis, it would still be very beneficial to us if we could establish a good relationship with the Besta Military Region at this stage.
So Green kicked me to your side, and asked me to assist you in this mission."
"I was expecting to send that Reinhardt guy."
Char muttered.
Dax immediately made a sad look: "Boss, you actually look down on me so much, my God, don't forget how much credit I have made for you, should my salary also be increased a little, or give me some special expenses, the last time I went to contact those intelligence networks, it cost a lot of money, the hateful Green always puts forward all kinds of excuses to refuse to reimburse me" Char snorted and glanced at this guy: "I have seen the list of special funds, such as going to drink flower wine with people from the Chamber of Commerce, or buying jewelry for Mrs.
So-and-so, do you think I will reimburse you?"
"It's all useful."
Dax shrugged his shoulders: "You know, to get through some local relations, if the local generals and officials are too difficult to handle, they might as well start with their wives, you know, few women can resist the charm of jewelry."
I'm all for our cause.
Besides, I almost hurt my stomach when I went to drink flower wine. ” "Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Char waved his hand: "Speaking of business, did you bring anything that interests me when you came this time?"
Dax sighed and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell, when you meet such a stingy boss, Lao Tzu's life is really not good." ” As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms and threw it in front of Char: "This is what I got through some connections before I came, because the time is too tight, so the information is just some skins, and you must already know a lot of the content in it, if you give me a little more time, and a little more money, I promise to dig out any secret information you want to know Haha I heard that the governor's wife is very beautiful, even if you want to know what color her favorite underwear is, I can find it out for you" "Shut up" Char shouted in annoyance, "who, who the fuck wants to know what color her underwear is" Dax shrunk his neck and snorted in an inaudible voice, "I'd love to know" Although this guy Dax always annoys Char a little, I have to admit that this guy's efficiency is really first-class.
The booklet he brought with him was a list of all the members of the current core group of the Besta Military District.
Age, position, but also resume, and even some personal preferences are listed.
Although this information is not as detailed as the portrait album that Char read from the Governor's wife that day, Dax can be considered capable enough to do this, after all, he seems to have neglected the collection of intelligence before.
It seems that this guy should really be given a little more money.
Char was secretly calculating in her heart.
"In terms of strength, the real strength of the Besta Military Region is actually much stronger than it seems.
The Governor's wife had been in power for several years, and had been pursuing a strategy of hiding wealth from the people, a strategy that had not been effective in the first two years, but by the beginning of her third year in power, the benefits were gradually apparent.
First of all, the political strategy of the previous years is worthy of the Chamber of Commerce and trade of the people of the Besta Military Region entered a period of prosperity, and the commercial activities of the people developed, so that from the third year onwards, their taxes began to increase significantly.
To put it simply, boss, this woman is very rich, and she is much richer than you, and almost the top ten chambers of commerce on the mainland have set up important branches in the Besta Military Region, and the Besta Military Region has a good relationship with these chambers of commerce.
Relying on the rich financial resources, the Besta Military Region is armed with 20,000 regular troops, please note that these 20,000 regular troops are all armed according to the standards of the Imperial Central Standing Corps, whether it is training, military salaries, equipment, they are all equipped according to the standards of the Imperial Central Army, in addition, their local garrison and garrison force also exceeds 8,000.
In addition, I found an interesting information, in the past three years, the Besta Military Region has purchased ordnance from several fixed chambers of commerce almost twice a year, including important strategic materials: weapons and armor are purchased twice a year, and the purchase transaction volume exceeds two million gold coins, that is, in the past three years, the Besta Military Region has invested six million gold coins in the procurement of strategic materials According to the standards of the empire, it takes two million gold coins to arm a central standing army corps, They have enough supplies to arm two or three more corps, so hehe, how to say it, this woman is very ambitious" "In addition, the peasant and military system of the Besta Military Region has existed almost in name only when Governor Yuri was young, and they have abandoned the peasant soldier system with great cost and weak harvest, and adopted a semi-military reserve system, which is very close to the reserve system of Landis, and I have reason to believe that the military construction strategy of the Governor's wife is largely borrowed from the reserve strategy adopted by the Kingdom of Landis.
In the past three years, they have spent more than one million gold coins on the training of the reserves, although I can't accurately judge how many reserve soldiers they have cultivated, but according to the proportion of this cost investment, I think that under the premise of spending one million gold coins, if the governor's wife is not too idiot, or if her people are not too corrupt, if most of this money is really spent where it should be, then there will always be some effect.
According to this inference, they probably have more than 40,000 reservists.
You know, the total population of the Besta Military District is less than a million, so this ratio is already very high.
To put it simply, to describe the strength of the Besta Military District, it can be summed up in such a sentence that there are rich and soldiers, hehe" Char sat there, quietly listening to Dax's introduction, he touched his brow: "That's all, what else to continue." ” "Others, it's my own inference."
Dax sighed, and he closed the booklet, "It's too short for me to get any more information, but I think my reasoning below has some truth."
Although the Besta Military Region has quite strong potential strength, it also has several huge drawbacks.
The first question is the food, as I said just now, the total population of the Besta Military Region is less than a million, and they now have an army of nearly 30,000, and I deduce more than 40,000 reserves, and if you add the mess of 7788 similar to auxiliaries and tax soldiers, their military population is about 100,000.
Please note that this number occupies one-tenth of their total population, according to their total population estimates, the total population is one million, so make a simple inference: half of men and women, and then the old and weak remove half of the population of the Besta Military Region, theoretically speaking, the total number of men in the prime of life will not exceed 300,000, and 100,000 of them have been used in the military, so the next situation, needless to say, you should also be able to think that the number of people engaged in agriculture has greatly decreased Over the years, Almost every year, they need to purchase large quantities of food from abroad, and their own productivity is not enough to meet local demand.
In terms of food consumption, they have always had two most stable sources before: one is the Corsican Military District, and the other source is the procurement of several military districts in the southeast Then, now the problem comes: the Corsican military region has been occupied by the Odin, I am afraid that with the ability of those barbaric Odin, no matter how fertile the land falls into their hands, I am afraid that it will also be abandoned, and the Odin people are not good at farming, so in the future, at least the Corsican side will not be able to continue to provide food to the Besta military district.
The other military regions, the Besta Military Region, have announced their withdrawal from the Red Roundtable Alliance, so the other military regions, at least will not openly sell grain to them, so finding a new grain procurement channel as soon as possible is a problem faced by the Besta people.
The second problem lies within them: the heirs Governor Yuri is over fifty years old, and when he was young, he was fierce and fierce, and he could not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and I don't think that this old man, who is over half a hundred years old, can still make a man.
Although this Governor's wife has done a very good job over the years, you must know that after all, she is a woman, and for the Yuri family, she is an outsider after all.
Although she has subdued some people's hearts, there are always some old courtiers of the Yuri family who still hold orthodox ideas, so" "You mean that guy Lear."
Char nodded: "I've already seen this Lear, he should be a powerful character." ” "That's right."
Dax nodded: "But this Governor's wife is even better, since last year, although that Mr.
Lear has gained some opportunities with the support of many old courtiers, and the Governor's wife seems to have been pressured to give some power to this Lear, but in general, most of the regular army is still firmly in the hands of the Governor's wife, and the most important problem is that the Governor Yuri himself still seems to trust his wife very much, and to be honest, I have always been very puzzled about this. ” Char smiled wryly and agreed.
Dax sighed: "This Governor Yuri seems to love his wife a little too much, and the degree of trust I think is far greater than that between ordinary couples.

Even if he loves a woman again, at least he has to think about the future of his family.
Moreover, according to the information I have gathered, it seems that this Governor Yuri should not be the master who secretly loves beauty and does not want the country.
I mean, he was a merry seed, but at least, when he was younger, he showed some ambition and a sense of responsibility for his family.
Now, how to say it, he almost gave the entire Yuri family inheritance to his wife.
This level of generosity, to be honest, at least for me, I can't do it.
After all, the Besta Military Region is the foundation of the Yuri family, and in a way, this is not the private property of Governor Yuri, but the inheritance of a family.
In this way, Governor Yuri seems to be overly generous to his wife, but he is too irresponsible to his family. ” Char's eyes lit up: "Do you mean there's something in it?"
"I can only make some guesses about things without evidence.
Perhaps, Governor Yuri's generosity is a kind of guilt and compensation You know, in the relationship between old husband and young wife, the husband often treats the young wife with extra kindness out of guilt and compensation, hehe" Dax laughed a few times in an ambiguous manner, then coughed a few times before he said in a straight voice: "In any case, the current position of the Governor's wife is very secure, provided that this Governor Yuri's trust After all, Governor Yuri himself is the real owner of the Besta Military Region, and the Governor's wife is just a custodian."
If the Governor of Yuri suddenly distrusts his wife, we can imagine that she can fight for power with her nephew, but she cannot fight with her husband, because if she dares to show the slightest intention to work against her husband, then the prestige she has painstakingly built up in the past few years will collapse in an instant, that is to say, the position of the Governor's wife is based on the trust of Governor Yuri himself, which seems to be very secure, but it is also very dangerous."
"Another issue is the health of Governor Yuri himself.
After all, he is an old man who is over half a hundred years old.
And I heard that when he was young, he didn't have a lot of wine.
Boss, I can bet that in this world, if a man spends too much time drinking, then he will not be able to live long.
Even if Governor Yuri still trusted his wife, if he suddenly kicked his legs, the position of the governor's wife would be very awkward.
Her legitimacy over the Besta Military Region comes from her husband, and if he dies, she has no reason to continue to rule the Military Region, at least in terms of identity.
However, it seems that there is no need to worry about this problem for the time being.
According to the information I have checked, the governor of Yuri was in very poor health in previous years, and at least in the third year after their marriage, he almost died of illness twice, but fortunately he survived.
Strangely, from the fourth year onwards, the health of the governor of Yuri has gradually stabilized, and although it is still a large pot, there is no longer the danger of dying at any time.
Obviously, the Doge's wife was well aware of her own situation, so she was very attentive and concerned about her husband's health, and the Governor Yuri lived in seclusion and lived the most comfortable life, and the Doge's wife invited at least three famous physicians from the mainland to take care of the Governor Yuri.
However, no matter how you say it, he is also an old man in his fifties, and even if he maintains it well now, this problem will be exposed in the next few years.
Once Governor Yuri dies of illness, but there is still no heir, the identity of the Governor's wife will immediately become very embarrassing, and I have collected an interesting thing, just the year before, the Governor's wife, when her prayers were fruitless, had on some occasions revealed that she was considering adopting a child, but as soon as this intention was revealed, she was opposed by almost all her subordinates, even those who were very loyal to her, and the matter was abandoned. ” Dax finally finished all his words, his analysis was clear, and Char nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Green's decision to send you here is indeed the right one, Dax, you have done a great job." ” "Then is it okay to consider a raise," the guy smiled cheekily at Char.
Char sighed, looked at Dax, and said earnestly: "How come I have never heard of such a thing as a salary increase" Marry the Doge's wife for a short time, but still maintain contact with that Lear, it is enough to keep this contact to a limited level of affection.
This is the conclusion that Dax made to Char after his analysis.
The two are of the same opinion: at least until the death of Governor Yuri, no one will be able to shake the dominance of that woman in the Besta Military District.
"They need us."
Another point of view put forward by Dax is: "The problem of food must be solved, since it is impossible to purchase it from the outside world, then the only choice left for the Besta people is: they have so many elite troops in the war, and they have hoarded so many supplies and reserves, these forces are not hoarded and played at home, and next year, the Besta people will have a headache for the food problem, at that time, their only choice is to start a war, to wage war against their neighbors, to invade, to plunder."
And at this time, they need us, whether they are waging war against Corsica occupied by the Odin or somewhere else, they need our cooperation, we can help them contain Manninger's power and share their pressure. ” Just as the conversation between the two was over, someone from outside suddenly came to inform that General Lear had sent someone to ask to see Marshal Char and sent a gift.
Char has experienced a lot of such things in the past two days.
Both Lear and the Doge's wife were very enthusiastic about themselves, and they lived here and received gifts from both parties almost every day.
The Doge's wife had mostly sent some fine food and clothing, and Lear had sent more manly gifts, such as some well-made swords, or a new fine bow, or a barrel of fine wine.
As for the solicitation intentions expressed by both parties, Char's principle is: those who come do not refuse He didn't hesitate to smile at anything he sent.
After receiving the notice, Char and Dax walked out of the chamber and outside.
The one who came to give the gift was a personal soldier captain under General Lear, this guy had met Char many times in the past two days, and had drunk a few times together, both sides were very familiar with each other, and the other party bowed Char very respectfully, and left a gift.
It was a large box, but it contained a well-made saddle and stirrup, as well as a bridle.
The harness was evidently expensive, the stirrups and bridles were of pure gold, and even the bridles were of fine cowhide.
After Char smiled politely, after sending the captain of the pro-soldier away, as soon as he came back, he saw that this guy Dax had already moved the box into the conference hall, and this guy grabbed a pure gold stirrup with an envious look, and the expression on his face seemed to be about to drool.
Seeing Char come in, Dax grinned and said, "Boss, this thing is not bad, I said, I posted a lot of private money for those materials before, even if you refuse to reimburse, these things will be rewarded to me as compensation, how about it?"
Char glared at this guy, but obviously this Dax had no fear of Char, in the face of Char's glare, he was still a hippie smile, Char finally sighed: "Okay, don't make this disgusting look, you can take it if you like." ” Dax immediately smiled happily, and after taking the harness out of the box, he was about to ask someone to lead a horse to put it on.
Dax suddenly stopped moving, looked down at the inside of the box with a straight face, the original smile on his face was all gone, his brows were tightly locked, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, staring carefully at the box.
"What's wrong" Char's heart moved, and she immediately walked to his side.
Dax took a deep breath: "There's something in the box" Char looked inside, but the box was empty, and there was something somewhere Dax sneered: "My lord, you can't see the bottom of this box, there are some words carved on it with a special thing, and the material used to engrave the words is special, and it is also engraved with twill, so unless you are a knowledgeable person, you can't see it at all." ” As he spoke, he pulled Char to stand next to the box at a different angle: "You stand here, that's the angle, bend down a little more and see the inside of the box, carved a line of small characters" Dax smiled complicatedly: "It's a very standard Lantis intelligence officer's method, it seems that this General Lear is also very knowledgeable, and he actually understands this method." ” `` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
