Chapter 185 Perfect
"Good morning! Legion Commander." Locke walked out of the city hall gate.
Outside the door, a guard officer said with a smile, "It was a wonderful night last night."
"Yes! Yes!" A guard opposite took over the conversation, and he said with a wicked smile, "That night, Fioer, you have been to the toilet several times. I wonder where you got so much shit and urine!"
Facing the two veterans, Locke felt a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly, but he quickly recovered. Maybe men are like this?
"Prepare some food," Locke told them, "Major Bridget and I will eat here today."
"Okay! No problem, the commander of the legion!" One of the non-commissioned officers saluted exaggeratedly, "Do you need a deer whip? The brothers below have sent some..."
"Ok! OK! I'll prepare now, as usual!" The non-commissioned officer saw Locke looking at him with a smile on his face, and he immediately surrendered.
"In the future, you won't need to do these things." Locke looked at them and said slowly, "You are soldiers, not my servants."
"Captain of the Legion, we..." The two non-commissioned officers tried to convince Locke, but were interrupted by him.
"Your task is to protect me, that's enough." Locke waved his hand, "Go and prepare."
The non-commissioned officer had to come to the kitchen on the side of the city hall, where the fat chef Crouch, at the Legion Command, was cooking here.
"Hey! Crouch, come and have a big meal this morning. The Legion Commander needs to make up for it." The non-commissioned officer grabbed the food on the table and said vaguely while eating.
"Oh? Why?" The fat chef was busy with a pile of flour.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." The non-commissioned officer grabbed an apple on the kitchen chopping board and started eating. "Last night, the Legion Commander finally became an adult!"
"Oh?!" The fat chef threw away the flour in his hand, rubbing his hands hard on the white apron surrounded by flour. "Who are you?"
"I'm afraid you won't believe it!" said the non-commissioned officer with a smile, "and Major Bridget!"
"Hi," Crouch turned around and began to get busy on the chopping board, "I thought it was with that elf."
"This is not the point! The point is, how should we end up after Captain Norlis comes back? And when he returns to the monastery, there is a future Grand Inspector." The non-commissioned officer threw away the apple core in his hand.
"What is this? Which nobleman doesn't have many lovers?" Crouch sneered, "The marquis I served before has more than a dozen women. Not only paladins, but also priests, soldiers, etc., but also other noblemen. That's it. Just get used to it!"
"Okay! Stop talking nonsense! Do something big. They had been struggling for a long time last night." The non-commissioned officer rolled his eyelids, "Look, my eyes are all black."
"Okay! We have the deer whip here and the turtles caught by the North River Coast, which are enough to replenish the Legion Commander." Crouch took out a turtle from the water tank next to him and was about to start his hand.
"No matter how you do it, the corps commander needs only the result." The non-commissioned officer urged, "Do it well, this determines whether you can stay here in the future?"
"The Legion Commander said that if there are servants to do these things in the future, we soldiers will not need to do them. Didn't you say you always want to stay in a stable place? The Legion Commander is safe enough, show your performance, I'll leave." The non-commissioned officer took away two apples casually, leaving behind the busy fat chef here.
Breakfast, in this world, only nobles and wealthy families can have three meals a day. The army also has three meals a day, because of the needs of combat. Ordinary people do not have the concept of breakfast.
Lock looked at the food made of deer whips and sea turtles on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Bridget sat aside with a smile, she held her chin with one hand and looked at Locke. "Look, your soldiers are so considerate about you. The dishes on this table are all for you to replenish your energy."
Lock sat down helplessly, inserted a white bread, cut it into small slices and ate it in jam, and then picked up the hot milk beside it and took a big sip.
"As I said, they must have known it a long time ago. Maybe it's spread outside." Bridget smiled wickedly and slapped the hot milk in the quilt, commenting on the matter, as if the protagonist was not her.
Lock looked up at her, then lowered his head and cut a deer whip, and ate it expressionlessly.
"I, Bridget, have a straight temper. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. That's it! Since I've done it, I will admit it! I won't be like some people who want to pretend they don't eat after eating." Bridget might have seen Locke's thoughts and spoke sarcasticly.
"Eat quickly, you're thinking too much. I said I'll be responsible, and I won't hide it. Since the matter is born, I will take on this responsibility." Locke looked up at Bridget's slightly sarcastic expression, "Don't worry, eat quickly, we're still busy these days."
Seeing Locke say this, Bridget calmed down and then he ate the food with peace of mind.
After everything was over, Locke summoned all the officers in Iva to discuss the next development plan.
"The goods we purchased have arrived. Now, it's time to speed up our pace." Locke said slowly as he looked at the officer below.
"In view of the fact that our heir to the Royal Lordaeron royal family and the noble parliament have all lost news. In order to fight against the various evil forces entrenched in our Kingdom of Lordaeron, and for our Iva to develop as soon as possible, we need to appropriately change the current rules."
Locke's words made the officers in the room quiet. They pricked up their ears and listened to Locke's words intently.
"I decided..." Looking at the officer staring at him below, Locke changed his words. The first item he had planned was ignored by him.
"I plan to recruit two more soldiers from the legion on the spot in Iva."
The officers immediately started to talk in surprise.
"Silent!" Bridget stood up and shouted, "Listen to the commander of the Legion!"
The legions stopped their discussions. Although they were very excited, they still looked at Locke with some concern. The expansion of the army was good news for them, which meant that everyone would be promoted to a higher level when they were on the military pay.
But there are 10,000 people in the two legions, and three legions have been recruited before, with 15,000 people. Can Iva provide for it?
"I'll give you a brief explanation." Locke looked at the officers who were worried about looking at him and said, "We have purchased a total of 90,000 tons of grain this time. Do you know what kind of number is this? It's enough for our military and civilians who have more than 10,000 yuan in Iva to eat for more than three years!"
"Our trade this time is not only about buying food." Locke continued to look at the officer below, "Many of you have also seen that there are not only other raw materials for production on the merchant ship, but also people!"
"Yes! I also commissioned those goblins to recruit a large number of craftsmen and refugees in the Storm Kingdom. Next, we will set up a special logistics area where different craftsmen are included in these logistics areas."
"We now have the raw materials for production. Next, our soldiers' weapons, armor, and uniforms will be continuously built from those special areas to arm our soldiers."
"In addition to those armaments, we will also have crossbows! Yes, crossbows! This thing will be realized soon!" Locke looked at the excited officer on the small face and said, "With them, our offensive and defense capabilities will be greatly improved!"
"This is not the point." Locke said with a smile, "We will have an air force soon!"
"In the future, when we fight outside, we will have the power to cover us. In the near future, we will also establish a navy! Let our Lordaeron's waters completely return to our hands!"
"So! Now is the period of our high-end development in Iva! Think about it! We have food! There are still a steady stream of civilians gathering around Iva every day. I have reached the time when I have to expand my army again. Only with enough troops in my hands can we defend the hard-earned results we have now!"
The officers finally couldn't help but cheer.
"Okay, for us to develop better. I need to further optimize our strength here." Locke took out a piece of paper from himself and opened it.
The officers immediately sat neatly.
"The three recruit corpses established before are now led by the corps commanders of the three infantry corps, respectively, responsible for the training of a recruit corps. Then, among the two established corps, one is the cavalry corps, which is formed by Major Hudson. The remaining corps is the technical corps, mainly serving the Air Force. This matter will be discussed later."
"The three infantry corps captains pulled out a company of 200 soldiers from their own corps, responsible for training the newly established first, second and third corps. All deputys temporarily took over the duties of the departed officers."
"In two months, I hope they can become qualified soldiers!"
"Today is a new year. I hope all the corps captains understand the importance of their mission." Locke looked at the corps captains with his eyes blinking. He continued, "If you do well, then you will be promoted and become a new corps commander! If you do not do well, then come back and continue the corps captain of the Fifth Legion!"
Lock continued to look at the paper and read, "In order to improve Iva's various work, the following departments were established."
"The security team was formally established, and the sheriff was also appointed by Captain Rulbes. Members were drawn from various legions to be responsible for cracking down on Iva's criminal activities."
"The Logistics Office of Iva is officially established, with the logistics officer Shilo and the adjutant being Major Cassian Gram. He is responsible for handling the logistics connection between the army and the town of Iva, managing the materials in the warehouse, inspecting and distributing the production of armaments, military uniforms, weapons, etc.."
"Major Gram, Inspector Hilo has a lot to do. I hope you can help him in this aspect of logistics as much as possible." Locke said to the major officer.
"Affect the order!" Major Gram said excitedly.
Major Gram was the original logistics corps leader of the Fifth Legion, but he was actually quite frustrated. He was always pressed by the inspector, but now he was not expected to be raised with the inspector.
"The Iva Comprehensive Management Office is established to manage the maintenance and construction of Iva's public facilities and to be responsible for all civil work in Iva. The person in charge is Hilo."
"The military irregular behavior picket team is established to picket soldiers and officers in charge of illegal behavior, and the captain is the inspector Shilo."
"The military court was established, with the officers of Shiloh and the jury members being officers above major. They were responsible for the trial of crusaders who violated discipline,"
"Soldier prison was established, and the prison officer Shilo."
"Create the Kingdom Security Department, Director Norlis."
