When Chen Xing returned to Ice Blue City, there was a liaison officer Ai Yin beside him.

Things went smoothly beyond imagination. In just three days, he completed the integration of the armies of the two principalities, Baiye and Heque.

However, the number of soldiers is not enough. The first and second armies of White Night add up to more than 200,000 people. He Que’s Cyborg Army has 5,000 people. On the opposite side, the five southern countries’ coalition forces led by Sikong Shengjie alone have 80 people.

Ten thousand people, not to mention troops from various countries, the initial estimate is between 1.5 million and 2 million people.

Then the next task is to recruit soldiers, but this problem is quite a headache.

He is not short of money now, but he is short of soldiers.

Bai Ye has already provided the most elite troops, and any large-scale recruitment will affect the vitality of the country. Although Heqiao has a large population, they are all skilled workers and lack combat effectiveness. Even if they recruit a group, they can only do logistics work.

Moreover, if these skilled workers are sent to the front line, the productivity of Heqiao will decrease, and some losses outweigh the gains.

Needless to say, Ice Blue City is populated by dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Although there are many elites and high-level family guards, they will definitely not respond to the call for conscription. If these people do not have enough interests, they are

I won't go out and work hard.

Chen Xing summoned the think tank, but after discussing it for a long time, there was no good solution.

The think tank is composed of former officials introduced by Finance Minister Jade, including the former diplomat Earl Mark, the former director of the Security Department Earl Xu Feiyang, the former deputy director of the Archives Bureau Viscount Sheehan, and more than ten people. Its current main role is

Propose Chen Xing's ideas.

But Chen Xing knows that he cannot rely entirely on this group of former officials. They can only represent one of the forces in Ice Blue City. In order to maintain balance, he needs to win over all the factions as much as possible and let all the human and financial resources be used for him.

Moreover, this group of officials from the previous dynasty were relatively rigid-minded. They were influenced by the system of the previous dynasty. They followed the rules and were too constrained to provide some creative ideas.

A group of think tanks discussed for a long time, but there was no feasible plan.

For example, Count Mark proposed that he could go to Sanchahe City to recruit mercenaries, but he was immediately opposed by Count Xu Feiyang. Not only are mercenaries expensive, but they are also difficult to manage. When they go to the battlefield, they are just soldiers. If the situation goes wrong, they will run away.

Useless.

In fact, there is no need for Xu Feiyang to say that Chen Xing himself is a mercenary and knows this profession best. Unless they are a group of mercenaries with ideals and pursuits like the Expeditionary Force, they are just a group of ruffians and bandits.

This is actually not determined by morality, but by stance.

Mercenary is a profession that involves exchanging lives for money. The purpose is money, not glory, and there is no national background to support its glory.

To put it simply, it has no "root". It is like duckweed without roots. It doesn't matter where it floats, it will never be stable.

Unlike the regular army, even if they die on the battlefield, the country will take care of their posthumous affairs and take care of their relatives for them, so they have no worries.

But it's different for mercenaries. If the group is wiped out, there won't even be a brother to collect the corpses. The corpses exposed in the wilderness will be extremely miserable.

This also determines that mercenaries cannot fight wholeheartedly on the battlefield. If the situation is not right, they will immediately put oil on their feet.

The think tank couldn't come up with a result, so Chen Xing had to let them go back first and then ask Bai Ye Fenghua.

As the commander-in-chief who unified the south of Ambergris River in the previous life, she would definitely face the same problem, so how did she solve it?

Chen Xing already had a rough guess about what happened in his previous life.

In the last life, without the appearance of Chen Xing, Aqiaomu would have been trapped in that mercenary group. Without the experience of Crow is a Fire, she would not have snatched the opportunity of the drugstore, and it would be impossible for her to reach the guard level in a short time.

There will be no refuge

The thing about Triris.

Without Arqiao Mu in the Black Prison, Baiye Fenghua could successfully meet Cuilis, become the commander of Ice Blue City, conquer the five southern countries, and finally unify the entire south.

Sure enough, Bai Yefenghua quickly gave the answer.

In the name of the royal family of Ice Blue City, recruit new soldiers from Tezera and the ten city-states.

When Chen Xing heard this method, he was immediately impressed. Aren't Tezera and the ten city-states neutral? Neutral means not helping any party, not targeting any party, being impartial and standing in the middle.

But it is the ruling class that is neutral, not the people.

In the minds of the people of the Red Country, the royal family of Ice Blue City is also the object of their allegiance.

Recruiting troops in the name of the Royal Family of Ice Blue City is justifiable.

Even if Tezera and the Ten City-States were unwilling to do so, they could not object.

Because if they deliberately prohibit their own people from going to Ice Blue City, they are not being neutral, but being targeted.

This can be said to be the red-earth version of "the narrow emperor orders the princes".

Chen Xing immediately called a think tank, drafted a recruitment notice, and then posted it on major websites in Tezera and the Ten City-States.

For a time, the public sentiment surged, and countless passionate young people responded to the call, packed their bags, said goodbye to their families, and headed to Ice Blue City to do something great.

The Red Country is a martial artist, and these young men and women have been holding their breath for a long time, wanting to go out and make contributions, but unfortunately their country's position is neutral and they have no chance to go to the battlefield to change their destiny.

Chen Xing suddenly made an announcement in the name of the Royal Family of Ice Blue City. The announcement was justified and righteous. It was immediately spread to ten people and hundreds of people, and everyone was eager to give it a try.

"Major General Ling Tianqi, I heard that you had a brief encounter with Chen Xing in Bailong City."

Chen Xing's recruitment of a young man in the Principality of Tezera alarmed the Grand Duke of Zhennan, who summoned his ministers to discuss it overnight. When he learned that Major General Ling Tianqi of the Second White Tiger Army had been in contact with Chen Xing, he immediately ordered him to enter the palace for questioning.

"Yes, before my brother participated in the martial arts competition in Bailong City with the third lady, he had a conflict with Chen Xing over the hotel room issue." Ling Tianqi replied.

He did not call Nangong Lulu the third princess, but the third miss. This was because Nangong Lulu was the concubine of the Grand Duke of Zhennan and could not be named a princess. Only the children of the principal wife were princesses and princes, and the other concubines were young masters.

Miss.

"How is his strength?" Grand Duke Zhennan asked, seemingly not caring much about his third daughter.

Facing the Grand Duke of Zhennan, Ling Tianqi did not dare to hide anything and spoke truthfully, "His strength is a bit strange. I didn't feel that his strength was very strong at the time, but suddenly it increased several times, and he seriously injured me with one blow."

"What about character?" Grand Duke Zhennan asked again. For a high-ranking and powerful leader, personal strength is secondary, and character is the most important.

"He is a ruthless person." Ling Tianqi said, and then used sixteen words to evaluate Chen Xing.

"Careful in mind, decisive in action, and ambitious, he is definitely not a kind person."

"That's it..." Grand Duke Zhennan looked solemn. After pondering for a moment, he slapped the armrest of the throne heavily, "Don't worry about him for the time being!"

"My king is wise!" All the ministers bowed and kowtowed.

Everyone knows very well that the subtext of the Grand Duke is - let's not provoke him for the time being.

The day after Chen Xing's recruitment announcement was sent out, the Northern Alliance reacted and took action on the third day.

The two top iceberg beauties of Ambergris River, Lacey and Ye Yang Bailiu, joined forces to attack, and together with the super youth idol of the Princess Guards, they immediately set off a wave of recruitment in Tezera and the ten city-states.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"Like a knight's loyalty, not afraid of evil eyes..."

"This process has always been in my heart, like the armor on your chest, protecting me and making me feel distressed..."

"The strong knight will fight until the end, and the proud princess will go home, get ready and start again..."

In the dimly lit small restaurant, a Northern Alliance recruitment advertisement was played on an old, discolored LCD TV.

The sweet singing and dancing, the dazzling beauty, made the young people in the restaurant excited and ready to move.

"Princess Qingcheng is so beautiful. As long as I can kiss her little hand, I am willing to shorten my life by ten years."

"The great therapist is not bad either. She is dignified, virtuous, beautiful and generous. She is my ideal wife."

"If you can marry Ye Yang Bailiu, I can marry Lacey Maris."

"Okay, one for each of us."

"You two, stop daydreaming. Even in the next life, and the next life, and the next life, you won't even have a chance to kiss shoes."

"To be honest, now that you have the opportunity, go for it and live in a big house and get a beautiful wife!"

On the other side, several young women were also chattering.

"I want to be an officer!" "I want to buy designer bags!" "I want to wear brand-name perfume, wear natural furs, and then lead a poodle and dangle in front of those bitches every day."

"My dream is higher than yours. I want to join the Princess Guards!" "Look at your waist, save it. They only want young and beautiful girls." "So what, I was famous when I was in the factory.

"The factory flower." "Yes, yes, you are the most stinky!"

"When I make money, I will hire all the male publicists to celebrate my birthday with me alone."

"Shameless!" "Slut!" "I owe you a job!" "I just owe you a job, what's wrong!"

Countless young men and women who were carried away by their enthusiasm picked up their travel bags and flocked to the Giant Lizard City.

Immediately afterwards, the four princes from far away in the Green Continent also joined in, accusing the country-stealing witch with blood and tears, and called on everyone to support the orthodoxy of the Malan royal family.

Countless young men and women who claimed to be loyal and righteous people boarded the airship and crossed the ocean to the Green Continent to support the Fourth Prince's great cause of rejuvenation.

Being recruited by three major forces at the same time, Tezera, and the ten city-states were miserable.

Compared with the La Zhuangding on the earth, the Red Earth World is more thorough, because on the earth, men mainly join the army, but the Red Earth World has evolutionary medicine, and the physical fitness of men and women is not far apart. The La Zhuangding are not only young men, but also women.

In the military of various countries, women account for about 20 to 30 percent. Once large-scale recruitment occurs, only the elderly and children will be left in the area.

A large number of factories shut down and the streets became deserted.

The Grand Duke of Zhennan first realized that if the situation continued like this, all the young men in Tazera would be wiped out, and he quickly ordered the city to be closed and prohibited entry and exit on the grounds of "discovery of foreign espionage activities."

The ten city-states also implemented corresponding policies one after another, thus avoiding the economic collapse caused by the loss of military personnel.

In this game of "recruiting young men", because Chen Xing had the upper hand, although it was not as good as the Northern Alliance's beauty offensive and the bitter love card played by the fourth prince, he was the first to recruit 500,000 people and was the first to make a decision.

, the most motivated group of young people.

Overall, Chen Xing's benefit was the greatest.

This batch of new recruits will undergo a two-week training camp on the outskirts of Ice Blue City and then be sent to the battlefield.
