18th century total war

Chapter 65 Preparation
"It's no wonder that almost two months have passed, and there is still no army coming to attack the city of Rennes that I occupied.

The armies of Finistère Province and Amor-Maritime Province seem to have made a lot of money. "

Just after listening to the information provided by Manid, Li Wei laughed and complained.

"The miscellaneous army formed by the local provinces is such a virtue. They come from different regions and organizations. The commanding generals above are all temporarily parachuted, and there are many army leaders below. It is difficult to deal with even using military law. After all, those There are more or less "financial masters" behind the military leaders, so it is not easy to offend.

However, before I came, the Paris government had already issued a military order. Even if the troops of these two provinces violated the law, they did not dare to delay for too long. It is estimated that they will enter the province of Ille-Vilaine next month and fully attack Rennes The city came here. "

Manid talked about the results he had speculated.

Now Manid's thinking is naturally from Li Wei's point of view, without the slightest sense of disobedience. If hesitant thoughts arise, they will be immediately smoothed out by strong psychological hints.

"Next month?
I can train another batch of new recruits. "

Hearing this sentence, Manid couldn't help but become very curious.

"How did you get the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion to give you unreserved loyalty?"

Li Wei's face turned cold instantly, and his tone was indifferent: "It's best not to inquire about things you shouldn't know."

Manid straightened his figure and replied very seriously: "This subordinate knows."

"Well, go out and prepare for the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Military Intelligence. Just make a list of how much money and human resources you need.

Don't worry, I won't expose what you've done for me until you take your parents back. "

"Thank you sir for being perfect."

"But I'm curious, why did you only bring back your parents, but not your wife and children?"

"My lord, for people like me, the Paris government will send people to watch over my family. Once I bring all my family members back, I'm afraid they will be arrested before they leave the Paris area.

Being able to bring back my elderly parents is already the limit of what I can do.

After all, in the eyes of those big shots, the inheritance of offspring is more important than my own parents, which is why I dare not take back my wife and children. "

Manid smiled bitterly.

On this point, Li Wei is noncommittal. In the upper class of Europe, the phenomenon of patriarchy is equally serious.

Because direct men often mean the stability of inheritance rights!

Only under the premise that no boy can be born can the daughter be forced to inherit the throne.

And the families that do this are often the fat in the eyes of other families. As long as their children marry the high-ranking woman home, it is equivalent to inheriting the wealth of that woman's entire family!

The family history of the famous Habsburg family in European history is based on this method, step by step, and promoted to the top European giants.

The upper-class society favors boys over girls, and the cultural gap between the East and the West is not that big.

Even in the 21st century, rich and powerful families also have a very serious patriarchal phenomenon. This cannot be smoothed out by personal ideas and slogans of equality between men and women.

After Manid left, Li Wei called Lesarit, who had been promoted to the commander of the Black Dragon Corps Skirmisher Battalion Major.

After being 'influenced' by the training camp, Lesarite, who was already cold-tempered, looked even more 'cold', exuding an aura that no strangers should enter.

"My lord, what do you want from me?"

Lesarite asked in a slightly blunt tone.

Li Wei looked at Lesarit in this appearance, and frowned slightly, because he knew that Lesarit had become like this because the instinctive emotional resistance was too strong during the brainwashing process in the training camp, so he was brainwashing The proportion of emotion that was erased at the time was too high, causing Lesarit's lack of human emotion to be more serious than other soldiers!

Lesarit is not the first case, but there are not many cases like Lesaritt. Generally, only those who have far superior willpower or have obsessions that run counter to the brainwashing effect of the training camp will appear. A lot of emotions have been erased, and it has become a situation where people are neither human nor ghost.

The lack of emotion to this extent is not as simple as the deterioration of interpersonal skills. If this kind of person is thrown into the society, it may not be long before he will become a cold-faced murderer!

Because for Lesarit, who lacked most of his emotions, the only strong emotions that could make him feel alive were fighting and killing!
Fortunately, when serving Li Wei, Li Wei can use military orders to restrain him forcibly, so that he can suppress the agitated murderous thoughts in his heart, and at the same time, the life in the military camp can also prevent the other party from having strong irritability.

It must be said that the brainwashing effect of the training camp is perfect and is based on the destruction of human nature.

If the soldiers trained in the training camp were not loyal to him, Li Wei would also feel uncomfortable with this kind of emotionally deficient person.

In Levi's eyes, it is better to enlighten Manid's brainwashing method. Unfortunately, that level of brainwashing is not thorough enough. It is okay to let Manid serve, but it is estimated that letting Manid go to the battlefield to fight to the death for Li Wei. Manid was the first deserter...

This is not a question of loyalty or not, but that Manid, who has been enlightened, still has human nature, and human nature has weaknesses, such as greed for life and fear of death!

If a person loses even his humanity, then this person is the real source of terror, and he is a bomb that explodes from time to time.

Of course, people who lose their humanity are generally labeled as mentally ill.

"Can the Skirmisher Battalion go to war now?"

"Return to your lord, all members of the skirmisher battalion have received a full amount of muzzle-loading guns, and they can fight for your lord at any time!"

Lesarit replied sonorously, only on this kind of problem, Lesarit would show obvious mood swings, instead of playing the role of a patient with facial paralysis...

"Well, very good, it won't be long before our enemies will enter the province of Ille-Vilaine and march towards the city of Rennes where we are located.

I hope you can lead the skirmisher battalion to detect the enemy's traces, and use the terrain along the enemy's march to harass and harass the enemy.

Your combat mission is to delay the enemy's marching speed as much as possible, and it is best to stop the enemy's advance. The more time you gain, the more beneficial it will be for our next strategic plan.

But the premise is not to sacrifice too many sharpshooter skirmishers!
When the enemy forces enter the outskirts of Rennes, you return with your skirmisher battalion. "

"Yes, my lord."

After receiving Levi's signal, Lesarit immediately turned and left the office without saying a word of extra nonsense.
