Text Chapter 207 Recruitment Begins

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A few days later, after a series of propaganda by Zhang Tie and Song Hu, Europeans in the entire Manhattan area knew about the empire's conscription.

    Because this recruitment is aimed at Europeans living in Manhattan, these Europeans are very concerned about it.

    The salary of twelve Dalongyang silver coins a month is almost as much as the salary of thirty or forty dollars in Mediterranean silver coins. This can definitely drive people crazy.

    You know, the soldiers in the Mediterranean area now only get a salary of five or six silver coins a month, which is about two big dragons.

    And they may not be paid on time every month, which is already the norm in European countries along the Mediterranean.

    But the soldiers here in Manhattan are different. Not only do they pay their salaries on time every month, they also pay some benefits from time to time.

    This makes many Europeans here very jealous.

    It¡¯s a pity that the empire had no intention of recruiting European fighters earlier, which made many people very disappointed.

    But it¡¯s better now. Now the empire has changed its policy and begun to recruit Europeans as soldiers.  However, the number of people is a bit small, and the quota is only a mere 1,000 people.

    It can be seen how fierce the competition is.

    However, considering the high salary and the fact that you can become an imperial citizen after serving as a soldier for three years.  This time the conscription still attracted many Europeans, and they were all waiting for the conscription to start.

    Basically, after the recruitment banner was opened in Parma, many European families would hear this voice: "I heard that there is a recruitment today. I told you that the salary of being a soldier here is good. How about you go and give it a try."

    ¡°These are what wives say to their husbands, and the husbands keep nodding, and then start preparing.

    The reason why these wives asked their husbands to apply for military service was not because they did not know the dangers of being soldiers, but this kind of thing was the same in Europe.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? but? but? but? but the salary they gave me was so much, was that people really died for money and birds died for food.

    And after serving as soldiers for three years and becoming imperial citizens, the families of these Europeans can enjoy various citizen benefits, and even their children can attend school.

    You must know that it is impossible for children from non-citizen families to learn knowledge in Manhattan schools.

    Nowadays, there is propaganda every day in Manhattan, and the slogan that knowledge changes destiny is heard by these European families living in Manhattan every day.  Over time, they will also think about it for themselves, and feel that the truth behind it is correct.

    Yes, knowledge changes destiny.

    But the problem is that many of them do not have the citizenship of the empire, and it is impossible for their children to go to school.

    Therefore, how could they, as parents, not work hard for the future of their children?

    The worries that parents have about their children are the same in this era and in future generations. There is not much difference.

    Many Europeans left their homes in a hurry and headed for the recruiting places.

    Parma is not worried at all that he will not be able to recruit troops. As a European, he knows very well what he thinks about his compatriots.

    These people even dream of becoming soldiers of the empire, just for the salary of twelve dragon oceans a month.

    For money, these guys don¡¯t care about danger.

    As long as you have money and are paid monthly, everything is easy.

    Otherwise, see why there are so many mercenaries on the European continent.

    This is not without reason.

    In the European mind, it is better to die in battle than to starve.

    ¡°Besides, serving as a soldier for the empire means not only getting your salary paid on time, but also countless hidden benefits.

    This is much more attractive than being a soldier in Europe.

    At the same time, most of the Europeans living here in Manhattan have military experience in Europe.  They are not the kind of novices who have never seen blood, so these people are the best soldiers.

    Basically, these people can be put into combat without much training.

    When many people came to the recruitment office at the port terminal, they found that many people had arrived earlier than them.

    At this time, the recruitment office was already crowded with people and very lively.

    "Everyone line up, don't get confused." Palma sat there and shouted loudly.

    Europeans living here in Manhattan all know who Palma is and who his backers are.

      Therefore, when many people see Parma, they have flattering smiles on their faces.  Although they will criticize Parma behind their back, there is always no harm in flattering them at this time.

    "It's a pity that these people are using their hot faces to put their cold buttocks, and Parma didn't pay attention to these guys at all.

    It¡¯s true when you think about it. What is Parma¡¯s status now? He is a slave of a big noble.  He is already rich and handsome, so he doesn't have to pay attention to these ** compatriots.

    "You are qualified and can take the re-examination."

    After sizing up the applicant in front of him, Palma took out a piece of paper, stamped it with a wooden seal, and handed it to him.

    This applicant is tall and looks very powerful. At first glance, he is a good candidate for military service.  Such a person must not be let go, and Parma immediately gave him a qualification form for the re-examination.

    Parma¡¯s recruitment is not just for anyone. He has to carefully select the best people among them.

    This was also specially explained by Zhang Tie and Song Hu.

    As for Parma, he also hopes that the legionnaires he can lead in the future will all be very capable.

    Therefore, when he selected his own soldiers, he became more picky.

    Those old and weak guys were rejected by Parma and asked to leave here.

    When Palma looked at the old men in their seventies and eighties who were all coming to apply for the army, he really couldn't complain about them.

    ¡°You said you¡¯re so old yet you still want to apply. Isn¡¯t that a joke?

    ¡° Parma will definitely not want these people.

    I have been a soldier, a soldier of the 8th Spanish Infantry Regiment, and I think you need me.

    ? ? Okay, okay, we are not a nursing home here. How old are you this year?

    I amseventy-two years old.

    ¡°Already seventy-two years old, I beg you to leave.

    Sir, can you look at me?

    Where is your left leg?

    ¡­¡­

    Conversations like this are constantly taking place between Palma and the candidates.

    There are no longer a few such weird applicants, but they are by no means the majority.  Many of the applicants are still young and strong.

    And Palma¡¯s legion personnel establishment is also slowly growing, and qualified soldiers continue to take part in re-examinations.

    A legion of one thousand people is not too much to be honest.

    But if you look at it in Europe, it can be considered a relatively large army.

    You must know that a war involving more than 10,000 people after leaving can be regarded as a war.

    Although it is winter, a simple military camp was set up in the western suburbs of Manhattan.

    This is the temporary residence of Parma's legions, where they will conduct short-term training and a series of brainwashing education.

    Then, when the war between the Iroquois and the French broke out, Parma and the others could march.

    After the recruitment was completed, both Zhang Tie and Song Hu went to the military camp to inspect.

    The quality of soldiers in this era is still good, especially those European guys who are all very muscular and have absolutely no physical fitness.

    This thousand-man regiment has one hundred sharpshooters, two hundred archers, two hundred two-handed swordsmen, and five hundred spearmen.  And each person is equipped with a pair of half-body armor, which can be said to have greatly improved defense.

    At the same time, in order to control the ideological dynamics of these people, Zhang Tie also sent 20 genetic people to serve as political commissars.

    What they have to do is very simple, that is, chat with these soldiers and stuff them with quilts when they sleep at night.

    ¡°If the soldier said that he was having difficulties at home, these political commissars would report it, and then Song Hu¡¯s military headquarters would solve the problem for the soldiers.

    After resolving the difficulty, the intelligence officers would, intentionally or unintentionally, visit the soldier's family in the military camp and tell the story in public.

    You must let everyone know when you do good deeds. Lei Feng also keeps a diary, doesn't he?

    Although Song Hu's methods are a bit dirty, the effect is definitely not average.

    These Europeans who were drafted into the army were so moved that they would die immediately without blinking an eye.

    People, don¡¯t they just want respect?

    The empire¡¯s military is full of human touch, something they have never experienced before.

    Although during training the political commissar??Every one of them was extremely stern, but their actions during the ward rounds at night were all seen and felt by the soldiers.

    The entire legion, according to the political commissar, is their second family.

    And they are all brothers who can rely on each other on the battlefield, the kind of comrades who can trust each other's back.

    Everything is something these Europeans have never experienced before, and it is also something they have never felt.

    However, they like everything here and the atmosphere inside the legion.

    Especially those soldiers who had difficulties at home and were solved silently by the political commissar and the military.

    Their centripetal force towards the Legion and the Empire has become even stronger.

    "Hey, these methods are all leftover from our old-timers' play. Now they are not easy to use against these Europeans who have little experience."

    After listening to the intelligence personnel¡¯s report, Wang Hu turned to Zhang Tie and smiled and said.

    On this day, Zhang Tie came to Wang Shan and happened to encounter intelligence personnel reporting information about Parma and this legion.

    Zhang Tie smiled when he heard this: "The effect is good. I heard that the soldiers of this corps have developed a sense of honor for the corps and their loyalty to the empire is already very high. Then I think for some families in need, our  The help must continue, and it doesn¡¯t necessarily mean giving money, but we must take good care of it, at least as it is now.¡±

    Song Hu nodded, he agreed very much with Zhang Tie's proposal.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
