Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 97 Candidates

After all, unlike the people-oriented society in the previous life, the current Norman Empire is a society based on aristocrats.

We are all nobles, so we can't see each other when we look up. My own family is still in a mess. You can't force me to go north to join the war...

Although there are many disgusting things that the nobles of the empire do behind the scenes, at least on the surface, everyone wants to show face, behave like a gentleman, and respect the dignity of the nobles.

Therefore, Bruno's letter is equivalent to a dose of vaccination in advance, which is to tell the regent council clearly that my life is very difficult now, and my family is in a mess. Don't call me during the war, just in case. If your home is stolen by pirates, you cannot bear the responsibility.

After all, although Bruno always said that he was a minor nobleman, the title of earl was actually not low.

Although he is not as good as those counts whose fiefdoms are located in the rich and prosperous areas in the interior of the empire, Bruno still has a little face.

After explaining the matter of writing the letter, Bruno became irritated about the intelligence system.

Building an intelligence system may not see much benefit in a short period of time, but if it is based on the long-term interests of Idar, the establishment of an independent intelligence agency is an absolutely unavoidable hurdle.

From a military point of view, if the Idar Territory can know the movements of all parties in advance, then in the event of a conflict with external forces, the Idar Territory's army can seize the opportunity to deploy in advance, and can even launch surprise attacks directly on the enemy's weaknesses.

From a business perspective, if we can master the information of various places in advance, we can take advantage of the information gap to obtain more benefits and money.

Moreover, Bruno is only planning to build a framework now, so it will not cost too much money and does not require too many manpower.

However, the biggest problem facing us now is...who should be in charge of this intelligence agency?

Although the intelligence agency is very important, as a lord, Bruno cannot personally handle everything. Otherwise, what kind of nobleman would he be?

As a noble, you should have the consciousness of being a noble. A leisurely and comfortable noble life is the standard for a lord.

At this point, Bruno felt that he was doing a great job and was perfect.

Therefore, the person in charge of the intelligence agency is particularly important.

Not only must he be decisive and calm in situations, but more importantly, he must be loyal to the Lord of Idar and obey Bruno Stuart, the Lord of Idar, unconditionally.

To be honest, in Bruno's impression, old Ford should be the best candidate.

However, Old Ford is old after all, and he is almost entirely responsible for the operation of several important pillar industries in Idar. A series of products such as seawater sun salt and spirits brewing are all under Old Ford's jurisdiction.

It would be inappropriate to put another burden on him at this time.

As for Shabi, Lobida, List and others, they all have their own errands and cannot spare time to be responsible for the establishment of the intelligence system.

And according to Bruno's idea, no matter what, the head of the intelligence agency must have military experience.

After all, the impact of the military on a person is extremely huge, and this impact will be reflected in all aspects.

Thinking of this, Bruno asked Liszt to find out the list of Idar's bandits.

That’s right, it’s the Bandit List!

The bandits of the Idar Territory not only have military backgrounds, but also have extremely high loyalty to the Idar Territory.

After all, when selecting bandits, the ideological review of the soldiers was a very important step.

Moreover, according to Bruno's previous conception, the bandit army led by Idar was a good candidate to recruit into the Idar intelligence system.

It occupies an extremely important position in the entire armed force composition of the Idar Territory.

Today, the military strength of Idar Territory mainly includes the following aspects:

[Idar’s standing army of 300 people]

[One hundred Idar Guards Cavalry]

[Fifty soldiers from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau]

[Fifty Idar Bandits]

In other words, the Idar Territory currently has a total of 500 armed forces. Except for the fifty soldiers of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau who cannot be mobilized at will, in the event of a war, the Idar Territory can use up to 450 combat forces.

Don’t think that four hundred and fifty people is a small number!

According to the normal military-civilian ratio of this era, in peacetime, the ratio of Norman Empire soldiers to ordinary people would generally remain between 1:100 and 3:100.

Due to the large influx of foreign civilians over a period of time, the current population of Idar Territory has reached about 20,000. In other words, the total number of troops that Idar Territory can currently maintain should be between 200 and 600. among people.

If we add in the miraculous feature of [increased food output by 15%] provided by the Hanging Garden, then the maximum number of troops that the Idar Territory can maintain is about 700 people.

Although it still sounds like not much, among the various nobles in the Norman Empire, it is actually quite a lot!

After all, in the eyes of many nobles, what is the use of raising so many soldiers when they have nothing to do?

If you have the spare money, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net It's better to buy a maid with blonde hair, blue eyes and a graceful figure from a slave merchant at a high price.

It doesn’t have to be something bad, at least it looks pleasing to the eye.

When he thought of this, Bruno felt that he was really an extremely upright guy, surrounded by a group of big and thick men all day long...

Although there is still a big gap between 500 people and 700 people, Bruno has no plans to expand Idar's standing army for a while.

Because Idar hasn't recruited the navy yet!

When he thought of this, Bruno suddenly felt like his head was getting big.

This is because, with the current population of Idar Territory, it is too early to rushly build a navy. If the benefits obtained from overseas cannot meet his original expectations, then the capital chain of Idar Territory will be extremely difficult. nervous!

But if pirates are allowed to occupy the French Islands and then harass the Idar Territory one after another, Bruno will never be willing to accept it!

Just one word, do it!

However, the number of people required by the navy is not a small number, it must be at least two to three hundred people.

And this was one of the reasons why Bruno chose to build a three-masted sailboat at that time!

Because the three-masted sailing ship can be regarded as the ship that required the least manpower in the age of sail!

Putting aside the random thoughts in his head, Bruno finally set his sights on the list of Idar's bandits.

On the first line of the list, there was the name of the current bandit leader...Krell.
