Chapter 533 Army Expansion, Definition of Genius
If you want to swallow Xiyuanzhou, which is more than eight times the area of ​​Wancheng Kingdom, you must have enough troops.

Therefore, in Wancheng's country, dozens of practice academies, all students who have advanced to the fifth grade have received warm invitations from the national defense recruitment department.

An invitation to join the Wehrmacht.

The remuneration offered is extremely high.

Linked to the cultivation level, even a monk in the early stage of condensate can get an income of 100 million a year after joining the National Defense Forces.

The post-condensation stage is 200 million.

If you are an immortal in the period of solidification, even in the early stage of solidification, your income will increase linearly to 1000 million per year.

And these incomes are only the most basic service salary.

Excluding mission subsidies, military rank bonuses and the most anticipated "Military Merit Reward".

Of course, if unfortunately injured or killed in battle, the state will also give him or his family a pension sufficient to live on.

However, because the Wancheng Kingdom has advanced weapons, the army is extremely elite, and the casualty rate is extremely small, there is no need to worry about large-scale casualties at all.

For example, the Third Fleet that swallowed Nanyuanzhou, in the three-year military operation, the death toll was only 33 people, and the danger of joining the army was extremely low.

So, listening to these eloquent introductions by the conscription staff, even Zhou Ming, felt his heart skip a beat for a moment.

"The treatment of joining the army is really good, isn't it?"

Zhou Ming was secretly speechless.

If the National Defense Force expands the number of soldiers from the previous 30 to 50, taking the median and calculating the average annual income of each soldier of 200 million, the annual military expenditure of Wancheng Country, only the salary of personnel, will be Spending 1 trillion Lingcoins?

It does not include the cost of equipment purchase and daily training consumption.

If a war breaks out, the spending will increase exponentially.

Can the treasury of Wancheng Kingdom really support such a money-burning activity?

Zhou Ming nodded, he could really support it.

Because Wancheng's domestic refining factories, alchemy factories, major investment and construction banks, a large number of infrastructure, foreign trade exports, and countless profitable units are all state-owned... These units can generate trillions of profits every year. GDP contribution accounted for 45% of the country.

It is said that in the treasury of Wancheng Kingdom, property worth more than 50 trillion spiritual coins has accumulated, and there is even nowhere to put it.

However, money shortages often occur among the people... It shows that a large amount of money is stored in the treasury and does not participate in market activities, thus damaging the healthy development of the real economy.

However, if the money is spent lavishly, it will easily induce corruption among officials, and inflation among the people will also be extremely serious, leading to rising prices.

And through the export of commodities to foreign continents, nearly 1 trillion Lingcoins enter Wancheng Country every year. If these funds cannot be effectively "managed", it will also cause inflation in Wancheng Country.

Therefore, the treasury of Wancheng Kingdom has played the role of a "reservoir" to curb the rapid rise of prices.

It's just...the 50 trillion spiritual coins have to be spent, and it can't have a big impact on the normal life of billions of people.

Military expenses.

Increasing military spending is a better solution.

Therefore, Wancheng Kingdom's expansion of the army has taken into account the problem of overabundance of treasury funds.

But this consideration is only secondary.

The most important consideration is to serve external expansion.

The area of ​​Xiyuan Continent is more than four times that of Nanyuan Continent. To conquer Xiyuan Continent, one fleet is not enough, at least four fleets must be sent!

But the country needs to retain strength to defend, so it plans to recruit 20 troops and add two new fleets.

Therefore, it can be seen that in Daxian College, the recruitment department of the National Defense Forces is in full swing for the recruitment of fifth-grade students, and the treatment is extremely attractive.

The fifth grade is an internship year. Students can go out to find a job or join the army. It's time to think about their future.

And the guaranteed minimum annual salary of 100 million or 200 million is a salary that is impossible to get in any job in society.

For example, the most popular high-paying job—Royal Airliner pilot, the annual income is only 80 to 150 million, which is said to be very hard.

Joining the National Defense Forces is not only not very hard work, but the salary is higher than that of pilots, and there are various vacations and benefits.

What else do you need to think about?
In Zhou Ming's class, there are more than 40 students, 32 of whom joined the National Defense Forces.

Even brothers like Chen En, Zhang Yu, Lei Zuo and Lei You seemed to be considering joining the National Defense Forces.

Zhou Ming quickly stopped them and told them not to join the army.

"Why not, boss, my family is just farmers with average conditions, unlike your young master Bai, I have to think about my future." Chen En said, in fact, he has his own plans, and he doesn't want to rely on the boss forever.

"Yes, boss, we can't always rely on you." Lei Zuo also said.

"If you just want to make more money, whether it's filming or setting up a transportation company, I can make you earn more than [-] million yuan a year, but I suggest that you better not join the army. This is not a job with absolute security. War is not a game, and sooner or later there will be casualties, even heavy casualties, I hope you will think carefully before making a decision."

Through a mysterious channel, Zhou Ming knew that Wancheng Kingdom will soon attack Xiyuanzhou, and it is still in the preparation stage of sharpening the knife. The target of the civilian army is also set at 4000. Basically, everyone has a chance. If the preparation is sufficient, it may not be a delusion to win Xiyuanzhou.

But what about projected losses?

It will definitely be bigger than conquering Nanyuanzhou, and may even exceed the capacity of Wancheng Kingdom.

And this is not necessarily a bad thing. Only when you understand the risks of war will you treat it with caution.

Only after a few failures can those over-burned desires for aggression be extinguished.

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Chen En and the others thought carefully.

The boss's opinion is always right... This is their habitual judgment.

In addition, they followed the boss for seven or eight years from the middle school to the college of higher learning, and they are very clear about the boss's personality.

Follow him, he will never let you suffer.

On the contrary, you can get endless benefits.

For example, the secret books of exercises in middle school.

Several films were made in Daxian Academy, and each of them received at least [-] million yuan in salary.

Coupled with all kinds of favors, they found that the longer they followed the boss, the more things they got, and the more they felt indebted.

They said they were going to join the army, but in fact they really didn't want to owe the boss any more favors, otherwise they felt that they would never be repaid.

Recently, the boss told them that after graduating from the college, they can go to Xianshan to travel together, make a few movies, or start a transportation company. Wouldn't it be great?
This is much better than having to stay in the army for ten or 20 years as soon as you join the army.

Much more free.

"If you are a brother, you will be a brother for life. If you are willing to follow me, I will show you more scenery."

Zhou Ming looked at them with gentle eyes, warming their hearts, and nodded involuntarily.

"Well, we're still not joining the army."

Chen En and the others canceled their plan to join the army.

However, Luo Xiaopang and Jin Songming, who were studying at Jinyan College thousands of miles away, because Zhou Ming had little communication with them, they couldn't bear the temptation of recruiters, and they all joined the National Defense Forces and have already served in the army , The letter I wrote was full of excitement and praise for military life.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to wish them happiness and peace.

So, what is Zhou Ming's next plan?

Go back home and get married.

The old man who is over 20 years old is really dying. His biggest wish is to hold his great-grandson in his arms before he dies. The family also wrote to remind him more than a dozen times. Zhou Ming, [-], had to go back to his hometown to participate in the incomparable competition. Grand wedding.

This wedding attracted the attention of the whole country, and more than one million guests came to attend the wedding.

Among these guests, some came to send blessings, some came to admire the beauty of the fairy, and some were so jealous and angry that they came to find fault with their swords.

In order to prevent accidents, Zhou Ming ordered people to set up a huge arena, intending to challenge 100 "Heroes of the World". Any young genius who thinks he is a hero can come to the stage to challenge. If anyone can defeat him, then he will give up marrying Fairy Mu, no longer interact with her.

And the duration of this challenge is only three days.

In other words, within three days, he had to defeat a hundred geniuses of all kinds who challenged him.

As soon as Zhou Ming's words were released, the whole country was shocked and in an uproar.

"Challenge a hundred geniuses, who do you think you are?"

"Bai Feiyang, what do you think of a hero in the world? A random soldier who can be defeated at will?"

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

"The number one madman in Wancheng Kingdom!"

"I want to challenge him, I want to make him unable to step down!"

"Bai Feiyang, I must defeat you! Fairy Mu is mine!" Chao Yuanhao, who had once been defeated by Zhou Ming, gritted his teeth.

Even Mu Feiyan, who was far away in Xingtang City, wrote a letter, and said in the letter worriedly: Feiyang, you said that it is enough to challenge ten, one hundred, you are too Menglang.

Even though Mu Feiyan knew that his true cultivation had reached the mid-stage of solid alchemy, defeating a hundred geniuses in three days, no matter how thick his aura and soul power was, would not be enough to consume.

But Zhou Ming's words have been released, and the geniuses from all over the country are rushing to Xuanqing City, there is no room for taking back those words.

Therefore, under the attention of the national media, this world-renowned group arena match was launched with great fanfare.

On the first day, 33 challengers were knocked off stage by Zhou Ming in less than two hours.

On average, each challenger persisted for less than 4 minutes, and about half of them were killed in seconds.

Those challengers who were instantly killed were unanimously scolded.

"You're not a genius, why are you on stage?"

"Insta-kill with one move, what kind of geniuses are you guys? Don't waste precious spots!"

"I hope you all have a little self-knowledge. If you think that Bai Feiyang will not insist on more than ten moves, just stand in the audience and watch the battle."

On the second day, the average strength of the 34 challengers was obviously stronger than that of the first day, but they were all kicked off the stage within more than three hours.

On the third day, more than a dozen highly anticipated and well-known "geniuses" appeared on the stage. They all had certain real materials, and 6 were immortals. Among them was Liu Changguan, who fought against Bai Feiyang For three hundred rounds, it was almost a draw. In the end, due to lack of soul power and lack of moves, he had to surrender.

The other 5 immortals all lost near the hundred moves.

Those whose cultivation base is less than the solid core stage will all lose within thirty strokes.

In this way, Bai Feiyang completed the challenge of a hundred talents and stood at the end of the ring.

A hundred battles are victorious, and the world crashes.

Since then, people have had a new definition of genius:
Those who persist in Bai Feiyang's hands for less than a hundred rounds are all mediocre!
