Volume 2 Chapter 108 - Poor military logistics department (1/2)

The morning of leisure passed very quickly.

This time Xu Yi had many things to do in Anvilmar City, so naturally he didn’t have as much free time as he did this morning.

After having lunch with Still, Xu Yi and the people sent by the military headquarters brought Xu Yi to the military training ground not far to the west of Anvilmar City.

Actually the army headquarters wanted Xu Yi to come, but Xu Yi was always busy and found it hard to find time to come to Anvilmar City. Since Xu Yi finally had the time to come, the army headquarters wouldn’t miss this chance and had set a time with Xu Yi long ago.

When Xu Yi passed through the strict checks, he found an acquaintance waiting for him.

Of course it was major MacConley.

When he saw Xu Yi, major MacConley came forward with a smile.

“Hey, chairmanh Xu, you’re finally willing to visit, that really fills me with joy.”

Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “Major MacConley is being too polite. Actually I wanted to come a long time ago and this is a good opportunity, so of course I wouldn’t miss it.”

After the two of them exchanged greetings, major MacConley introduced Xu Yi to some other people on the training field.

Other than some officers, there were some instructors and a total of twenty normal soldiers.

After meeting Xu Yi, these people were very friendly to Xu Yi. Although it was their first time meeting, they already treated him like a good friend.

Xu Yi was a bit surprised. Why were these people so friendly with him? It had to be known that he was just a normal merchant and it was normal for him not to get along with military people.

“The issue is that chairman Xu is not a normal merchant.” Major MacConley laughed, “Those other merchants are people who only care about money that we military people look down on, but you are different. It is because you and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce have ensured that every brother can have a set of equipment. On the battlefield now, they can ensure that they have a greater chance of survival, so why wouldn’t these people be friendly towards you?”

“That’s right, before the people of the logistics department had been worrying about the equipment our brothers had all day, but we couldn’t solve it because we didn’t have money. In the end, once chairman Xu made a move, you easily solved the biggest problem. How can we not treat you like a brother?” Another officer of the logistics department said with a smile.

“Oh? I don’t seem to have this amazing ability, right? I actually solved such a large problem?” Xu Yi said in a surprised voice.

“Chairman Xu, do you know how poor the logistics department was before? Let me tell you, before this, in the entire army, other than the northern army that had to fight with those Sack Kingdom bastards every day who had full support, for the rest of the army, one in five didn’t even have a complete set of equipment! As for weapons…..Can you believe this? The brothers of the Leica Regiment were using iron swords that were over five years old? Those swords were rusty and just by touching them, they were almost turned into short swords!”

“It can’t be that bad, right…..” Xu Yi was a bit shocked.

If the equipment of the Lampuri Kingdom’s army was really as bad as they said, the battle strength of the royal army was a bit worrying.

If they really were to fight a war, they would be completely routed if they met some powerful enemies.

“Who says it’s not?”

Once it came to going to war, those officers from the army headquarters were like recorders, incessantly saying the same thing.

The group came together and kept complaining to Xu Yi.

For a while, they talked about a conflict that had happened before where because of their bad equipment, they couldn’t beat two thousand with three thousand. Not only did they lose the battle, there were over a thousand people who died, as well as being called waste by the nobles of the kingdom.

For a while, another officer told the story of when he was ambushed as a soldier. After he woke up from his dream, he grabbed beside him and could only find an iron rod.

Because they didn’t have enough equipment, he could only use an iron rod as a weapon.

Then another officer said…...
