Heroes of Silver Moon

Panting, Galken leaned on his long sword and knelt on one knee, sweat dripped down his cheeks, his face was full of unwillingness, he still lost in this challenge.

It's not that he's not as strong as Boulder, he's a bit bigger than Boulder, and although he's both a high-level fighter, his strength is definitely stronger than Boulder's.

It's not that his agility is not as agile as Boulder's. Although he looks burly, Galken's agility is definitely above the level of a high-level fighter.

It's not that his sword skills are not as exquisite as Boulder's. Although his military education is not as good as Boulder's, he has been trained in martial arts by his father and grandfather for many years. His sword skills are definitely superior to Boulder's.

But why Galken still lost?

Because in the previous battle, his mind was already in a mess, and when he doubted his own ability, he was doomed to lose without a doubt!

"You lost!" Burd was also panting, but still stood in front of Galken and pointed his sword at him.

"Yes, I lost." Galken smiled wryly and shook his head. He never thought that one day he would lose to a kid who was nearly ten years younger than himself.

"The winner has been decided! Does anyone else have anything to challenge?" Hearing Galken's surrender, Harris immediately sternly yelled at the group of retainers and children.

The group of retainers who lined up neatly looked at each other in disbelief.

Galken is the second-grandson of the Knights of Silver. He is the oldest, strongest, and most prestigious among them. He did not expect to lose like this, to those outsiders brought back from the capital by Master Simon!

Could it be that they are not capable enough themselves, that's why Master Simon reused this group of outsiders? This thought came to the minds of all the retainers and children.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke out again, Harris went on to say: "If no one challenges again, then I will continue to announce the appointment!"

The group of retainers shook their heads silently, indicating that they no longer have any opinions.

"The job appointment continues, Galken, the squad leader of the first squad of the new army!"

Hearing his name, Galken quickly dropped the long sword in his hand, stood at attention and shouted, then ran to the corresponding position and turned to face the group of recruits.

"..., Blood Wolf, squad leader of Class Nine, Maslan, squad leader of logistics squad!" Following Harris' announcement, the backbone of the new army trained by Simon all ran to their positions one by one.

Seeing that all the backbone officers were in place, Harris nodded slightly, then opened the recruit list handed to him by Sewell, and began to assign the recruits squad by squad.

"Glennan, Class 1." Hearing his name being read, Glennan walked to the front of the queue, with a dazed expression, not knowing what to do.

The first squad leader, Galken, stood in his place and raised his hand to signal to come to him.

Looking at the officer who had just failed in the challenge, Glennan ran over in fear. Although the challenge just now failed, the pale golden grudge had already demonstrated Galken's strength.

"...,..." Following Harris' roll call, one recruit after another ran to the squad leader they belonged to, and the originally scattered gate gradually became orderly.

In the distance, Simon looked at the scene and nodded with some relief. Although it is due to the system, this group of backbones is indeed quite reliable, especially Harris.

As the first batch of students who graduated from the military department of the comprehensive college, Harris' command ability can definitely rank among the top five in the same batch, and his military ability is much higher than that of Alyosha and others.

And unlike Alyosha who turned to him midway, Harris only recognized Simon as the boss from beginning to end, which is why Simon entrusted him with important tasks.

Instead of taking care of the recruits, Simon returned to the Alpine Fort. Deborah had already completed the task he had given, um... it can only be said to have completed the task indirectly.

Originally, Simon's order was to ask Deborah to recruit manpower, purchase cotton, linen and other materials, and set up a textile factory to provide standard quilts for the new army.

But Deborah told him that it is very troublesome to get these things done well. It is easy to recruit people and purchase items, but it takes a lot of time to set up a textile factory.

If Simon's request for the standard quilt is not urgent, then he can of course take his time, but if Simon is in a hurry to get the standard quilt out, then he has to find another way.

After thinking about it, Simon still decided to rush out the standard quilts, because uniform clothing can increase the discipline and identity of soldiers.

So it only took a few days for Deborah to find Simon's old friend, the Royal Chamber of Commerce. They could not help but have a ready-made textile factory, and they could also be responsible for the entire production process.

For example, clothing design, purchasing raw materials, organizing people to sew quilts, etc., a series of processes do not need to worry about Simon, he only needs to be responsible for paying for it.

When he came to the simple study room that his father lent him, Simon saw three people who had been waiting here. One of them was Deborah, the administrator appointed by Simon, and Simon didn't know the other two.

"Master Simon, let me introduce you." Deborah said very naturally and calmly, as if she wasn't unhappy with the change of status.

"This is the head of the Southern Branch of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Baron Kilka." Deborah pointed to the gray-haired and well-dressed old man.

"Master Simon, hello." Baron Kilka smiled and nodded to Simon.

"Hello." Simon responded with a smile.

"This is the costume designer of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Karp." Deborah pointed to another middle-aged man with a cold expression.

"Lord Simon" saw Simon looking at him, and Garp hurriedly nodded to Simon in panic.

Unlike the Baron Kilka, he is just an ordinary civilian. When he meets a ruthless man like Simon, who can overwhelm the old nobles in the entire capital, he will inevitably feel a little panic.

"Hello." Simon nodded gently to Garp. For friends, he has always been more accommodating.

"The Baron Kilka and Mr. Garp came here this time for the standard clothes you need, my lord. You need to discuss the next specific matters with these two." Deborah said respectfully.

Simon nodded and smiled: "Okay, don't be more like a servant, just be normal!"

Deborah rolled her eyes, she was obviously speechless towards Simon, this man has absolutely no self-knowledge as a lord!

"Baron Kilka, Mr. Karp, you already know the general situation, that is, I want to make uniforms, bedding, and other military items of the same style for my soldiers.

Except for the size of the clothes, everything must be exactly the same, no specialization! "Simon looked at the two people in front of him and said.

"Well, Lord Simon, please forgive me, you should distribute standard leather armor to soldiers, not standard ordinary clothes." Garp said a little puzzled.

"Bastard, what are you talking about? Since Master Simon would do this, he must have a reason!" Baron Kilka immediately scolded in dissatisfaction.

As businessmen, they only take money to do things, and Karp's suggestion is obviously a taboo.

If it was a nobleman with a bad temper, he would probably either turn his face on the spot, or make a silent note in his heart, and after a period of time, let this talkative fashion designer die reasonably.

Although it was reprimanded on the surface, Baron Kilka was actually protecting Karp. You see, I have reprimanded this servant, so you have a lot of adults, so don't embarrass him anymore.

Although the words are not spoken, but basically this is what it means.

Simon nodded, smiled indifferently and said, "Yes, there is a reason for me to do this, you just need to use the money to do things."

"Okay, since you insisted on asking." Garp shrugged helplessly, he had already persuaded what should be persuaded, and whether Simon listened or not, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Okay, let's continue to discuss cooperation!" Deborah interjected at the right time, this is also to give both parties a step down.

Simon went to the desk and sat down, then opened the drawer and took out a book, opened it and put it in front of the three of Deborah, which contained his plan for the standard quilt.

Deborah took the notebook and flipped through it first, but her expression became more and more ugly.

"My lord, isn't this a little too outrageous?" Deborah asked with some pain.

Baron Kilka and Garp took the notebooks and looked through them one after another, their expressions suddenly became strange.

All because of the planning and design done by Simon in the book, each soldier is equipped with a total of twelve kinds of things.

The first type is a standard military uniform similar to the military camouflage uniform used in the previous life.

Just considering that the textile technology at this time was not so advanced, Simon made some modifications, replacing the original camouflage color of the military uniform with a dirt-resistant khaki.

Except for the color, the other places have not changed much, that is, the part of the chest badge and armband. Simon replaced the original sticky structure with a double-layer embedded button structure.

Although the structure is still very complicated, it is at least the level of clothing craftsmanship that this world can make.

With the original stick-on structure, even if you kill all the dressmakers and tailors in this world, they will never be able to make it.

There are two types of military uniforms, one is lighter and thinner for spring and summer, and the other is thicker for autumn and winter. Two sets of each are issued.

The second type is a round sunshade canvas hat.

Basically, it is similar to the camouflage hat on the Blue Star, and the color has also been changed to khaki. In the center of the front of the canvas hat, there is a military emblem designed by Simon. It is two long swords crossing upwards. Surrounded by a wheat ear on each side, they respectively represent force and harvest.

Sun visors are also divided into spring and summer and autumn and winter, and two of each style are issued.

The third type is very common marching boots. This Simon didn't make much effort, and directly brought a kind of leather boots that are more durable in this world.

The boots are also divided into two styles, and three pairs of each style are issued, and they are issued every year.

The fourth type is underwear similar to autumn clothes and sweaters. Two sets of each are distributed, and they are distributed again every year.

The fifth type is socks and underwear, and two pairs/pieces are issued every three months.

When they saw these two things, the three of Deborah were stunned. No, brother, you have to prepare these things for the soldiers because of Mao. Let them prepare such small things by themselves!

The sixth thing is the chest badge and armband that can be placed on the military uniform with several buttons.

The position, name and home address should be embroidered on the chest badge with needle and thread, and its function is the same as the nameplate of a certain eagle sauce army on Blue Star.

One is to facilitate the identification of friendly troops, and the other is to facilitate the confirmation of identity and the issuance of pensions after soldiers are killed.

On the armband is the military emblem of the new army, and the two characters of the new army are drawn.

The seventh item is a cotton coat worn in extremely cold weather, and each soldier is only issued one set.

The eighth item is a raincoat for rainy days, and each person is given a set.

The ninth item is a portable water bag, a dry food belt, and a bullet bag. Each soldier is issued a set.

The tenth item is a set of cotton quilts, pillows and sheets, two sheets and pillowcases, and only one set for the others.

The eleventh item is two marching rucksacks. There are similar items in this world. Simon improved them a little and used them.

The space of the marching rucksack should hold bedding, pillows, water bags and dry food.

The twelfth thing is two leather belts, one for trousers and one for waist.

After reading this little book, the three of Deborah were completely numb. If they really followed the things in Simon's little book, the cost would probably go up to the sky.

"Simon, are you sure you're not joking?" Deborah asked with a distorted face.

The salaries originally given to those recruits were already high. If these things were added, the annual cost of supporting only one soldier would not be less than ten gold coins. This is not counted as weapons and equipment. in the case of.

Judging from Simon's current level of "generosity", Deborah can't imagine, if weapons and equipment are included, how much will it cost to support a soldier of the new army?

"Of course not, the three of you do the math! How much is the minimum cost for this set?" Simon asked indifferently.

Since you want soldiers to work hard for you, of course you must do the best in terms of remuneration. Looking at Blue Star's war history, the troops with excellent remuneration have always fought bravely. He doesn't want to cultivate a group of stragglers.

Simon's goal is to try his best to rely on a certain iron army of Blue Star Modern. Even if he can't train the new army to that level, at least it must be a second-tier tiger army!

"This...I'm afraid I don't have five gold coins. I can't get this whole set!" Baron Kilka said with a wry smile.

Garp lowered his head and frowned slightly~www.readwn.com~ He didn't talk too much this time, and he knew it was time to bargain.

"Five gold coins! Why don't you go and rob, maybe the money will come in faster!" Deborah stared at Baron Kilka in dissatisfaction, and said, "Two gold coins!"

"What! Two gold coins! We can't even recover the cost of two gold coins, four gold coins! This is the lowest price, if you succeed, forget it!" Kilka also exclaimed.

"Huh, such a big order, you Royal Chamber of Commerce doesn't want it, there are Chambers of Commerce in the kingdom that want it, three gold coins, no more!" Deborah's face was full of disdain, completely gone. Respectful.

"This!" Baron Kilka's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. As Deborah said, for such a large order, there will definitely be chambers of commerce in the kingdom who will come to compete with them.

The reason why Simon found them first was purely because Simon was used to buying things from their royal chamber of commerce. If the price was not right, he might not be able to keep them at all.

"Three and a half gold coins! This is definitely the bottom line. It is impossible for any chamber of commerce to pay less than this!" Kilka looked at Simon solemnly.

Simon turned his head to look at Deborah who was thinking again.

Feeling that the price should be considered fair, Deborah nodded helplessly.

"Okay, deal! Order 1,015 sets for me first, and 115 sets must be delivered within a month! This is a deposit." Simon took out a gold coin from the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Handed it to Baron Kilka.

"Happy cooperation!" Baron Kilka smiled again.

Although this is the gold card of their Royal Chamber of Commerce, what he wants is performance and commission, and it doesn't matter if it's cash or not!
