The tour ended.
After returning to his residence, the Central Prefecture's Marquis tossed and turned in bed. He was really shocked by the scene during the day…
The strength of the Northern Borderline was far beyond his expectations. So far, his mind was filled with the scenes of the Northern Battlefront Army training.
"Summon the Central Plains cabinet for a meeting!"
Finally, the Central Prefecture Marquis couldn't sit still anymore and ordered his subordinates.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, many high-ranking officials of the Central Plains gathered together.
"Lord Marquis, you summoned us?"
"Not bad." " Yes." The Marquis of Zhongzhou nodded." Do you think our Zhongzhou army can be trained to be as strong as the Beijiang army?"”
"This…"
Everyone was speechless.
"Lord Marquis, I'm afraid not." " On the surface, the Northern Battlefront Army is very powerful," General Mo said directly." But this system may not be suitable for Zhongzhou. Only the Northern Borderline can train such an army."”
"Why?" The Central Prefecture Marquis asked.
"First, we need to establish a screening system. But Lord Marquis, have you ever thought about how to make those martial artists willingly take the test? To be selected as a reserve?" General Mo answered his own question.
"Moreover, if we want to select soldiers, we must first establish a selection mechanism and system. This system will definitely cost a huge sum of money. Moreover, the issue of the soldiers 'salaries after the selection will probably be very difficult to solve!
"Moreover, even if our Central Plains is willing to spend money to establish a similar system and increase our salaries, I'm worried that we won't be able to recruit enough people.”
General Mo sighed." It's difficult for us to complete this screening mechanism alone. How can we build an army comparable to the Northern Battlefront Army?"”
"That's right, Lord Marquis. We can't do it.”A scholar sighed." Such a huge investment will drag down the economy of Zhongzhou. It will fall into an endless cycle of militarism. Zhongzhou will be dragged down!"”
The Marquis of the Central Prefecture was furious,"As long as we work together, we can train such a powerful army!"”
Everyone looked at each other.
At this time, Gao Zhijin said," Lord Marquis, please calm down. How much do you think it would cost to train a Northern Battlefront Army?"”Gao Zhijin suddenly asked.
"Ten gold?"
"No!" Gao Zhijin said," I've studied the whole system of the Northern Borderline before. If we want to train soldiers similar to the Northern Battlefront Army, according to the situation in Zhongzhou, it will cost at least 100 gold coins. Moreover, it may cost at least 10 gold coins per month to maintain the training of a soldier, including the salary. Even if the people in Zhongzhou are willing to pay, they can't afford such an investment.”
At this moment, the Marquis of Zhongzhou woke up. If what Gao Zhijin said was true, their Zhongzhou economy would really be dragged down!
"Lord Marquis." " If Zhongzhou wants to train soldiers like the Northern Battlefront Army," Gao Zhijin said," they must first invest in the Martial Arts Association. Then, they must purchase a large amount of food and train professional doctors. Most importantly, they must pay a high salary.
If it weren't for the high salary, no one in Zhongzhou would be able to endure such high-intensity screening and training as the Northern Borderline. According to my assessment, the salary should be at least three times higher than the original salary to ensure that the soldiers would be willing to accept such high-intensity and cruel training and screening.”
" In addition, the Northern Battlefront Army's training is very intense. I've studied the food of the Northern Battlefront Army. It seems that there are special nutritionists among them who study reasonable food to enhance the physical fitness of the Northern Battlefront Army. In this way, the consumption of the army's pay will definitely increase, maybe four or five times more than before.
" In addition, because of the high-intensity confrontation, the weapons in the Northern Battlefront Army are actually damaged very badly. The North borderline is rich in steel. They can develop and forge their own, but we have to import them in large quantities..."
" Therefore, I think that with the strength of Zhongzhou, we don't have the conditions to train the soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army," Gao Zhijin said.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis sighed... he was much more clear-headed now.
"Lord Marquis, even if our Central Plains tries to imitate the Northern Borderline and train elites at all costs, we are still far from reaching the level of the Northern Borderline.”General Mo said.
"Why?" asked the Central Prefecture Marquis.
" It's because the people of the Northern Borderline regard it as a lifelong honor to become a member of the Northern Battlefront Army. The Warrior Association has sufficient resources, and many warriors of the Northern Borderline are willing to come here to take the examination to become a member of the Northern Battlefront Army. We don't have such an atmosphere and soil in Zhongzhou.”" Besides, the training methods of the Northern Battlefront Army are too ridiculous," General Mo said." Even if we pay them a high salary, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to carry it out. It's normal for deserters to appear."”
"Why is it that the Northern Borderline can do it, but our Central Plains can't?”The Central Prefecture Marquis was extremely unwilling.
At this moment, he finally understood that even if he knew that the Northern Battlefront Army was very strong, even if he knew how the Northern Battlefront Army was born, he could not replicate it...
Training the Northern Battlefront Army in the Northern Borderline had a mature system and cost very little! However, in Zhongzhou, it would cost ten times more, and the soldiers trained were far less than those of the Northern Battlefront Army.
This made the Central Prefecture Marquis feel defeated.
