The reason why El asked wahiri for the 2000 elite crossbow men of the central guards was to train them into qualified Musketeers who can skillfully use muskets and launch new tactics.

The training effect of the 2000 Musketeers' initial training was no surprise to el - it was very bad.

They are not used to this way of marching forward in unison listening to the drums.

And that band is just a small band with a little fame.

It was wahiri who offered them a huge reward that they could not refuse that they dared to enter the army and assist el.

This is the first time they have cooperated with the army, so it is difficult for them to cooperate with the 2000 Musketeers.

In contrast, musketeers are also difficult to cooperate with the orchestra.

No one can cooperate well, and the musketeers are not used to moving forward with the sound of drums, resulting in the poor training effect of the first training.

But El was neither discouraged nor anxious.

After all, he had already guessed the result.

After telling the Musketeers to keep working hard, let them continue to practice marching.

The first day the Musketeers entered this remote military base, they ended in constant practice.

This military base has been deserted for a long time. Before it was abandoned, a full 30000 troops were stationed here.

In other words, the activity space of the military base is quite broad for the 2000 Musketeers.

As night fell, El announced the formal end of today's training. After they were dismissed and rested, El and Gabriel could finally go to rest.

……

……

Back in the room, El immediately began to untie his armor.

While explaining, he smiled bitterly and said to himself:

"I can't get used to wearing this armor..."

El used to be a quartermaster.

Quartermaster officers are civilian officers in the army and are responsible for managing the supplies in the army. Therefore, they are engaged in civilian work in their uniforms rather than armor.

So El naturally didn't even have his own armor.

El is now a marshal and commander-in-chief of the far east front army.

As the commander-in-chief of the Far East Front Army, it would be outrageous if he didn't even have his own armor.

Therefore, wahiri gave a set of white and red armor - the armor that El is now taking off.

After taking off his armor one by one as fast as he could, El breathed out and lay on his back on the bed on his side.

"It's still comfortable not to wear armor..." El lay on his back on the bed, moving all the joints of his body, feeling the hardship and pain of wearing armor.

At this time, El suddenly noticed Gabriel, who entered the room one after another with him, and was looking at him with a complex expression.

There was a serious flicker of hesitation.

It looks like you want to say something to El, but you don't know whether to say it or not.

"... Gabriel."

El sat up slowly from the bed.

"I found you strange a few days ago."

"It feels like you have something to ask me."

"If you have any questions you want to ask me, just ask them. Don't worry so much."

Speaking of this, Elton said.

Then he hung a faint smile on his face and changed into a half joking tone.

"Based on our friendship, if you are too polite to me, I will be sad."

El's words seemed to give Gabriel courage.

Much of the hesitation in Gabriel's eyes disappeared.

"... el."

Gabriel murmured to El.

"You answer me honestly."

"Where did you get the money for developing firearms and manufacturing such a large number of firearms?"

Several years ago... Gabriel remembered that it should be the year when the British Empire launched the "Aurora" offensive and launched a large-scale attack on their holy Hiran empire. El suddenly got a large amount of research and development funds for the musket department.

In the years since then, El can always get a lot of money from time to time to invest in the research and development of muskets.

It is precisely because El can always get a lot of money from time to time that the fire gun Department has sufficient funds to invite better craftsmen and have more research materials.

Where did El's money come from - Gabriel had never studied it before.

He knew that El was a very clever man.

So he took it for granted that El should have made so much money by relying on his intelligence, such as doing a small business.

Until -- a few days ago, Gabriel finally found something wrong

On the day when El was promoted to marshal and packed up, El took him and more than ten rented carriages to Poji town.

Gabriel was stunned before and after arriving at bogi... Or at the warehouse door of the firearm department in bogi.

The warehouse door was wide open, and Gabriel saw "hills" composed of slender wooden boxes.

The things contained in these wooden boxes are brand-new flint guns.

According to El, there are nearly 2500.

Boxes after boxes of brand-new flint guns were shipped out of the warehouse, loaded into El's rented carriage and transported to the remote military base where they were about to train Musketeers.

It was only then that Gabriel found something wrong.

Gabriel only comes to the firearm Department occasionally to help.

When he came to the firearm department to help, his work was also some chores such as moving things and cleaning.

Gabriel never cared about how well the muskets were developed and how many new muskets were built.

Gabriel didn't know that El's gun department had built more than 2500 new guns until El brought him to the gun department to transport guns.

More than 2500 flint guns - Gabriel can't imagine how much it cost to build such a huge amount of muskets.

The purchase cost of steel alone is astronomical.

Gabriel didn't pay much attention to the research and development of muskets, but he still knew some common sense of muskets.

Flint gun is a new weapon made of steel.

And there are a large number of complex parts.

It takes a lot of steel to make a flint gun.

At the same time - the craftsmen in the musket department alone can't make such a number of muskets.

El must have hired a large number of craftsmen secretly to help him build a flint gun.

And the employment fee of these craftsmen is a lot of money.

Where on earth did El get so much money?

Over the years, where did the money for the firearms department to develop firearms, hire craftsmen and manufacture firearms come from?

Gabriel could no longer safely ignore this problem.
