The reason why El asked Wahiri for the 2,000 elite crossbowmen of the Central Imperial Guard was to train them to be qualified musketeers who could use musketeers skillfully and develop new tactics.
The first training of these 2000 Musketeers was not as effective as El's surprise - very bad.
They are not used to this way of moving forward in a row by listening to the drums.
And that orchestra is just a small orchestra with a bit of fame in Alianmuya.
It was Vahiri who offered them huge rewards that they could not refuse that they dared to enter the army and assist El.
This is their first time working with the military, so it is difficult for them to cooperate with these 2,000 musketeers.
In contrast, the musketeers also find it difficult to cooperate with the band.
No one can cooperate well, and the musketeers are not used to moving forward with the sound of drums, resulting in the training results of the first training being extremely poor.
But El was neither discouraged nor anxious.
After all, he had guessed this result long ago.
After talking to the musketeers, he asked them to continue practicing marching.
The first day after the musketeers entered this remote military base, they ended with constant practice and stroll.
This military base has been abandoned for a long time. Before it was abandoned, a total of 30,000 troops were stationed here.
In other words, the activity space of this military base is quite wide for these 2,000 musketeers.
As night fell, Elle announced that today's training was officially over and they were disbanded. After resting, Elle and Gabriel could finally go to rest.
...
...
When she returned to the room, El immediately began to untie the armor on her body.
While explaining, he smiled bitterly and said to himself:
"I can't wear this armor anyway..."
El was a quartermaster before.
Quartermasters are civil servants in the army and are responsible for managing the military's supplies. Therefore, those who are engaged in civilian work wear uniforms that belong to them, rather than armor.
So naturally El didn't even have his own armor.
El is now the marshal and the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front.
As the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, it would be too unreasonable if he didn't even have his own armor.
Therefore, Vahiri gave a set of white and red armor - the one El is taking off now.
After removing the armor one by one at the fastest speed he could achieve, El breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the bed beside him.
"It's still comfortable not to wear armor..." Elle lay on his back on the bed, moving his joints in his body, while sighing at the hardships and pains of wearing armor.
At this moment, El suddenly noticed Gabriel, who had entered the room with him one by one, and was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Severely hesitant.
He looked like he wanted to say something to El, but he didn't know whether he should say it.
“…Gabriel.”
El sat up slowly from the bed.
"A few days ago, I found you strange."
"It seems like you have something to ask me."
"If you have any questions, just ask me, don't worry about it."
Speaking of this, Elton took a moment.
Then he hung a faint smile on his face and changed into a half-joking tone.
"Just because of our friendship, if you are too polite to me, I will be sad."
El's words seemed to give Gabriel the courage.
The hesitation in Gabriel's eyes disappeared most of the time.
“…El.”
Gabriel said in a deep voice to El.
"You answer me honestly."
"Where did you get the money for developing muskets and making such a large amount of muskets?"
Several years ago... Gabriel remembered that the year when the Britannian Empire launched the "Aurora" offensive and launched a large-scale attack on their Holy Hillan Empire, El suddenly received a large amount of research and development funds for the Muskets Department.
From then on, El was always able to get a lot of money from time to time and invest it in the development of muskets.
It is precisely because El could always get a lot of money from time to time that the Musket Department has always had sufficient funds to invite better craftsmen and have more sufficient research materials.
Where did Elle's money come from? Gabriel had never looked at it in detail before.
He knew El was a very smart person.
Therefore, he took it for granted that El should have relied on his intelligence, such as doing some small business, and got so much money.
Until - a few days ago, Gabriel finally found something wrong...
On the day El was promoted to marshal and packed her luggage, El took him and more than a dozen rented carriages to Poggy.
Gabriel was shocked after arriving in Poggy Town... or the warehouse gate of the Musket Department in Poggy Town.
The warehouse door was wide open, and what caught Gabriel's eyes were "small hills" composed of slender wooden boxes.
The things contained in these wooden boxes are brand new flintlock rifles.
According to El, there are nearly 2,500.
The boxes of brand new flintlocks were transported from the warehouse and loaded with El's carriage and transported to the remote military base they were about to use to train musketeers.
It was not until this time that Gabriel realized something was wrong.
Gabriel just occasionally comes to the Musket Department to help.
When he came to the Musket Department to help, the work he did was also a bit of miscellaneous work such as moving things and cleaning.
How was the development of muskets and how many new muskets were made - Gabriel never asked about these things.
It was not until Elle brought him to the musket department to transport muskets that he knew that Elle's musket department had created more than 2,500 new muskets.
More than 2,500 flintlock guns - Gabriel dared not imagine how much it would cost to create such a huge amount of muskets.
The procurement costs of steel alone are already astronomical.
Although Gabriel was not very concerned about the development of muskets, he still knew some common sense about muskets.
The flintlock rifle is a new type of weapon that is all made of steel.
And there are a large number of complex parts.
It takes a lot of steel to create a flintlock rifle.
At the same time, the craftsmen in the musket department would definitely not be able to make such a number of muskets.
El must have hired a large number of craftsmen secretly to help him build a flintlock rifle.
And the employment fee for these craftsmen is another large sum of money.
Where did El get so much money?
In recent years, where did the money for the Musket Department to develop muskets, hire craftsmen, and make muskets come from?
