Cosma Empire
Chapter 111
Sometimes Mr. kesma is really interesting, because he doesn''t seem to be a duty farmer at all. It may be misunderstood to use the word duty here, but that''s the truth.
For example, when durin, who has been "prosperous", took out 5000 yuan to ask Mr. kesma for a "small favor", he may have never seen such a large sum of money in his life. Mr. kesma was not excited in a trace, and his hands didn''t even tremble, just like the table was not 5000 yuan, but 50 yuan, or five yuan. His eyes only stayed on the stack of banknotes for about 0.5 seconds, and returned to Turin''s face without any nostalgia.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Mr. kesma moved his ass back, making his back more close to the back of the cane chair and straightening his sitting position.
Du Lin is organizing language. His wanderings in the city during this period have made him understand a truth. Sometimes the word truth contains more content than the literal interpretation of the word. In short, money, subordinates, power, status, reputation and other things that can be turned into practical interests can be described by the word truth. When two people''s social class and soft and hard strength are almost the same, the "truth" can be "said" by mouth. At other times, as long as there is inequality in one aspect, it is likely that the "truth" is not said, but done.
How to improve their level of "reasoning"?
Dooling has considered many aspects, such as becoming a white glove for a big man like wood and godall, or becoming a "scavenger" specializing in dirty work, but these ways not only need him to have stronger strength and power, but also need the accumulation of time. It takes a long time to trust a person. On the contrary, it takes only a moment to destroy them.
What Dooling needs is a solid foundation, not a water Pavilion.
He wanted Mr. kesma to help buy off another sheriff in town - who could be read as Sheriff. During the patriotic war, that is, the civil war, in order to effectively resist the pervasive federal army, the Empire followed the suggestions of the then prime minister and gave all localities the power to form guard forces, especially in the countryside, such as towns or villages. The ultimate executor of this order is the Sheriff of each town, who will become the leader and commander of the local guard. And the Empire opened another authority for these sheriffs.
They can buy standard rifles, even war machines and weapon platforms at the armament bureau with low prices.
This policy had a miraculous effect in the war. It was proved that the richer the people were, the more afraid of death. At that time, in the early stage of the war, the nobles still occupied a large area of the Empire, and they were the landowners in the practical sense. At the same time, they also pushed these nobles to the forefront of the war, or "donate money" to the sheriff to form a local guard, and buy weapons and other higher-level armed forces for them to resist invaders that may appear anytime and anywhere.
Or he will honestly flee to the imperial capital, and then receive the tragedy that the territory is swept by the war and the wealth and real estate are plundered and destroyed.
So at that time, many nobles bit their teeth and took out a lot of money to arm the local guard. Many local guards in noble territories with a long history were even more armed than the regular army of the Empire.
But!
They were trapped.
With the new decree issued by the Imperial Emperor, the special conscription bill during the patriotic war, passed in the imperial capital, a large number of local guard forces armed to the teeth were transferred and reconstituted into a regular army, that is, the Empire fought with the army assembled by nobles at no cost. Although many nobles have a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction, considering the consequences of the failure of the war, they can only break their teeth and swallow their stomach, and show an expression of "I am willing to give everything for the Empire".
After the end of the war, a large number of troops formed by nobles and guards and provincial elegant people were lost on the battlefield, which calmed down the class contradictions that were about to break out. At the same time, according to the conspiracy theorists, the imperial royal family colluded with the new party, betrayed the nobles, and completely ended the feudal imperial dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years. The reason for all this is that during the war, the imperial royal family forcibly plundered too much wealth and materials from the nobles through such policies and wartime special laws, which made the nobles dissatisfied.
No matter what factors influenced the causes and results, in short, the decree issued by the local guard during the war seems to have been forgotten. It has not been cancelled because of the end of the war, and can still be implemented in accordance with the decree at that time.
This involves another problem. Since there is a loophole to drill, are those tycoons and adults all drilling this loophole?
The answer is No. although the wartime special law has not been abolished, many restrictions have been added to this law after the post-war new party came to power. For example, in non wartime, local guard members in each town are not allowed to exceed seven, weapons and equipment shall not exceed three rifles, and it is not allowed to purchase and place any war machines and weapon platforms, There are strict restrictions on these powerful lethal weapons. At the same time, the imperial police investigation bureau has agents patrolling the whole empire, and the local gendarmerie is also investigating such violations.
So no matter how much money those big guys spend, it''s meaningless. It''s better to feed a group of tough enough thugs.
But this law really has no further loopholes to drill?
In fact, this is not the case. According to the provisions of the rights and obligations of non wartime local guard, when "dangerous" beasts appear around towns and villages, it is necessary for the guard to take the initiative to eliminate these "dangerous" beasts in order to ensure the safety of citizens'' private property and civil rights are not infringed.
Sometimes, there are no dangerous animals coming and going, has the final say by the sheriff.
Seven people are not many, but if these seven people are strange soldiers and have three rifles, the effect can be achieved is by no means as simple as "seven people".
Think about it. It''s clear that the two sides are evenly matched, and even Doolin is a little close. At this time, suddenly, a seven person team who spends every day in military training attacks from the other side''s back with rifles, which is absolutely fatal!
