    It was already three o'clock in the morning when he got up again after lying down before dawn. Fortunately, he had already taken a nap before taking action, otherwise he would definitely be in a negative state under the influence of lack of sleep, even with Bolum's financial resources.  Possibly all the soldiers in the barracks were given 'comfortable' sleeping bags.  ¡·¤·Although as Barrett, no one would refuse if I applied, but I am not here to show off my privileges.  "Thank you, Mr. Bolum. The captain has already told us that if it weren't for the report you submitted, we would have had no chance to participate in last night's operation." Just after leaving the house, three Aboriginal guards came towards us.  The members saluted and thanked Barrett.  Although military action is bound to be accompanied by risks, it is also the only shortcut to promotion and wealth in this system.  Of course, in this world where great power belongs to oneself, the improvement of strength will also bring changes in status.  But for most people, the latter is more difficult than the former.  If you never go on a mission, you can slowly gain seniority in the army.  At that point, although it is no better than thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, there are still dozens or hundreds of people fighting for a position.  More importantly, because it is not as clear and detailed as military merit, the subjective judgment of qualifications is too big.  As a lord, Earl Boreham naturally hopes that his subordinates will all be 'Zhuge Kongming' who enforce the law impartially, but the reality has always been far from the ideal.  Everyone knows the truth that "when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are careful, there are no disciples." So as long as people underground don't make it too obvious, they usually don't care too much about it.  This gives some related households room to move.  Although they can't promote people who are not qualified, if you meet the conditions, even if you are better, you can't compete with those who have connections.  Only when there is a clear gap between people who are really good enough that they need to take greater risks when doing something, they will not be disturbed by this.  And even those soldiers who were pushed out, although they will inevitably have some resentment in their hearts, they still feel that this is human nature.  In this Western Continent where power, authority and responsibility can be passed down through blood, this is not even an unspoken rule, but is clearly stated on the table.  Of course they understand, but that doesn¡¯t necessarily mean they are willing to endure it silently.  And any opportunity to make achievements is an effective help for them to break this cage. Although the city's main guard belongs directly to the earl, it is relatively fair.  But the team members here will always return to the grassroots one day. Now they can make contributions first and let the leaders notice their performance. When they return, they will be able to get a better foundation for promotion than others.  It is for this reason that all participants in last night's operation are grateful to Barrett.  Although this kind of gratitude is very pure, Barrett does not intend to use it to support his hopes.  Because he knew that his foundation was not here, and more importantly, he did not want the earl to feel that he would start forming cliques as soon as he entered the system.  So he immediately waved his hand: "After intensive training for such a long time, you should also go out and test your training results. As your instructor, this is my duty." "It's a pity that those guys last night were really  It¡¯s too rough. It¡¯s not enough for us to practice.¡± The Aboriginal guard on the left said while moving his arms.  The man next to him looked at Barrett with regret and said, "It's a pity that you won't stay with us for long, instructor. I'm afraid we won't be able to find an instructor responsible for you in the future."  As soon as they finished speaking, there was a burst of scolding from behind the two of them: "If you two are complaining about this or that, don't come and ask me if you encounter problems in the future." Barrett followed the sound and immediately  I saw a strong man with a bald head yelling and cursing there.  The official instructor of the City Guards nodded to Barrett after seeing him.  It seems that he must not be angry that he stole his limelight during this period.  After all, unlike the official instructor, Barrett will not stay in the city guard for long.  Even ordinary soldiers know this, let alone the instructor who has been in the army for many years.  You must know that the City Lord's Guard is the siege force directly under the lord. Because of its small number and avoidance of suspicion, except for the captain, the remaining officers are all selected internally.  As for the airborne deputies with no real power, they are not actually included in the establishment of the city's main guard.  Most of them are collaborators who join temporarily for a certain task.  These temporary additions are either as powerful as Barrett.  Or there is some rare skill.  However, they will leave after the cooperation between the two parties is over. The previous false posts were just to show respect for them.  So after hearing the voice, the three aboriginal soldiers immediately turned around and smiled with the instructor who heard the previous conversation. Although Barrett's strength and teaching level are stronger, after all, he will not  Long stay.  Wait until he leaves?These ordinary soldiers still have to ask that bald man for advice!  Naturally, I didn't dare to offend him.  Looking at the scene in front of him, Barrett walked away quietly.  According to the previous agreement, he must now go to the city hall to meet Earl Boham and give a detailed report on the operation last night.  As if because he had been given instructions in advance, Barrett was quickly led to the Earl.  Reality described his battle experience last night in detail, and then Barrett sighed slightly unwillingly: "The general process is like this. It's a pity that I couldn't draw those damn guys out." Although Barrett showed up openly,  The reason is to train the team that has undergone intensive training for a period of time, but only a few people know that it is just a side event. The real purpose is to lure out the assassins who target Barrett's life.  Unfortunately, although the side work was completed well, the main business seemed to have completely failed.  "It's also a good thing to bring out those guys. At least it proves that the system that got the relevant information last night has not been penetrated by those damn Lucia." Compared to Barrett, the current Earl Bolum naturally looks at  More comprehensive.  After hearing this, Barrett touched his chin and shook his head: "Not necessarily. Maybe the assassins felt that the preparation time was too short and the success rate of hasty actions was low, so they chose to give up. It doesn't necessarily mean that  There are no eyes and ears for them in the system. "But this way the possibility is much smaller. And you didn't clean up a lot of nails last night, but you, Barrett, caught a big fish. "It's because of last night's action.  Earl Boham is in a pretty good mood today.  Barrett, who heard this, also became interested: "Has the female mage I captured spoken?" "You don't need to doubt this. There are professionals in this field in the territory. Their business  The level is definitely beyond your imagination." Earl Bolum said this, and then turned the topic back to his main work: "That lady is the person in charge of intelligence for the royal family here.  The proprietress of the tailor shop. "The royal family? Are they still trying to cause friction at this time?" Barrett's voice immediately rose 8 degrees.  Immediately afterwards, Earl Boham waved his hand to signal Barrett not to be so excited: "It shouldn't be enough to cause friction. This is just a few verbal curses. But the lady has already been in Poitou.  After staying there for a few years, there is still something on hand. It is indeed a good thing to dig her out now. " "Isn't it possible that the information they obtained should be sent back to the royal family immediately?  Is that there? "Barrett has only been exposed to the Bolum intelligence system and the intelligence system from more than 200 years ago, so he always feels that there is something wrong with this.  Earl Bolum, who was interested in training him, smiled and began to explain: "In order to ensure their own safety, these latent intelligence agents will not upload all the collected intelligence. Grab something in your hand.  It prevents them from being used up and thrown away, and at the same time, they have a life-saving bargaining chip if they are exposed. What's more, they sometimes take private jobs by taking advantage of their own resources. " The majority of expatriates in this world take private jobs.  Something that cannot be avoided.  People's hearts are always satisfied. It is impossible to expect a person's professional ethics in an environment with conditions and benefits.  To be added tomorrow Baron Abercrombie Cokery Garfield was of medium height and had a broad forehead.  That thick black hair has not lost a few stems.  Only the sunken hollows on his dark cheeks and the deep wrinkles on his plump forehead revealed the secret of his age to everyone.  A big nose, a slightly wider mouth, and a pair of flexible, bright and energetic eyes.  The bright and shining eyes are full of confidence, perseverance and optimism.  The entire reporting process went very smoothly and was resolved within a few minutes.  Then the nominal supreme commander of the fortress, Baron Abercrombie Cokery Garfield, returned to his pile of documents.  On the first day after arriving here, Val Knight did not take a few people to familiarize themselves with their respective positions, but gave them a day to rest and adjust.  In addition to Crispian, Aldred and Pont were already waiting for Georgie to spend some time in Brandenburg.  On the contrary, Green, who was supposed to be the most at ease, was actually tied up by family affairs, and was unable to get here for a while.  "That's not the case! Green is not the heir of the family, how could he encounter such a situation." Not only Georgie, who had just arrived, was confused, but even Ben couldn't figure out what was going on here.  The one closest to Green¡¯s territory is Aldred, and he only gave an unclear answer: ¡°I passed by his house when I came here.??, even though I asked him why, he refused to tell him.  But judging from the explanation he gave, although he will be a little later, he will definitely make it over.  " Although there is one person missing, the few people who rarely meet are in good spirits. Ben, who can be regarded as a half-landlord, led a few people to visit non-key parts of the entire fortress. At the same time, Qiaoji  I also learned that those bungalows with palm-sized vents were actually brothels. It turned out that in addition to the street girls standing in wedding dresses on the road, there were also similar health workers inside the fortress.  It's boring and boring, and the soldiers' duty rotation day and night also puts a lot of pressure on them. They must have a better outlet for this pressure. Otherwise, being passive and slacking off is just a less serious situation.  The most troublesome thing is that it will make the soldiers become irritable, and they will inevitably have disputes with each other. In serious cases, they will even fight with each other, such as playing chess, arm wrestling, and practice games.  The game method cannot solve this problem very well. Only certain industries can alleviate this symptom to a certain extent, so this is indeed a real mental health service for those soldiers at the bottom.  . The manager of the fortress, Baron Abercrombie Cockery Garfield, believes that this business can not only solve the problem of guarding soldiers, but also bring a certain amount of tax revenue.  He said, but they gave encouragement and support behind the scenes. As for the leaders of their respective armies, they also turned a blind eye to the prostitution behavior of their soldiers. After all, it may be caused by these over-experienced young men.  Compared with the trouble, this kind of voluntary behavior is considered a good thing. This is a bit like the Celestial Empire before time travel. The entertainment industry was developed in places where there were many factories because of the pressure of life and the boring work of those industrial workers.  , not much worse than the soldiers in Brandenburg, coupled with the physiological needs after reaching age and the serious imbalance of gender ratio in heavy industry, it becomes the leisure time of these working class people.  The best place to relax. During the period of severe crackdowns, the production efficiency of these factories will drop significantly. Someone once said that if there is anyone who least wants these specialty service industries to close down, it is the big industrial bosses.  It's not because they like these special service industries. They have better private cars and don't need to squeeze into the buses with the people below. But without these service personnel, there will be big trouble in the factory.  A severe crackdown in less than a month would cause slight fluctuations in output or finished product qualification rate. If it were completely banned, it would be okay. In fact, given the population structure of the country at that time, unless foreign brides were introduced on a large scale, the characteristics would be completely banned.  The service industry will cause the crime rate to soar, and the government's maintenance costs will also soar.
