Cosma Empire

Sometimes Mr. Cosma is really very interesting, because he doesn’t behave like a peasant with a score. It may be misunderstood here, but this is the case.

For example, when Durin, who had already “flyed up”, took out 5,000 pieces to ask Mr. Cosma to help him with a “small busy”, Mr. Cosma, who had never seen such a large sum of money in his life, had no excitement, his hand There was no trembling in the trembling, just like the five thousand pieces on the table, only fifty pieces, or five dollars. His eyes only stayed on the banknote for about 0.5 seconds, and he returned to Durin’s face without any reluctance.

“What do you want me to do for this farmer?” Mr. Cosma moved his buttocks back, making the back fit more closely to the back of the wicker chair and correcting the sitting position.

Durin is organizing language, and the time in the city makes him understand the truth. Sometimes the word contains more than the literal interpretation of the word. In a nutshell, money, men, power, status Anything that can be turned into actual interests, such as prestige, can be described by the word truth. When the social class and soft and hard power of two people are almost the same, the “reason” can be said “speaking”. At other times, as long as there is a certain aspect of unequal, it is very likely that “reason” is not used. But do it.

How to improve the level of “reasoning”?

Durin has considered many aspects, such as white gloves that become a big man like Wood or Gothor, or become a “clean-up” dedicated to dirty work, but these roads not only require him to have stronger strength and power, but also need The accumulation of time. Trusting a person is not a matter of three or five days, or three or five sentences. It takes a long time to accumulate. The opposite is that it takes only a moment to destroy it.

What Durin needs is a solid foundation, not a pavilion on the water.

He wants Mr. Cosma to help buy another sheriff in the town – he can be read as a sheriff. In the Great Patriotic War, that is, during the Civil War, in order to effectively resist the Confederation army that no hole can’t enter, the empire complied with the recommendations of the ministers of the then prime minister, giving the local authorities the power to form a guard, especially in the countryside. For example, the town, or the village. The ultimate executor of this order is the sheriff of each town, who will become the leader and commander of the local guard. And the empire has opened another authority for these sheriffs.

They can use low-cost money to buy standard rifles in the Armaments, even war machines and weapons platforms.

This policy has played a miraculous effect in the war. It turns out that the richer the more people, the more afraid of death. In the early days of the war, the nobles still occupied the land of the empire, they were the land in the real sense. the Lord. At the same time, these nobles were also at the forefront of the war, either “donating money” to the sheriff to form a local guard, and for them to buy weapons and other higher-level armed forces to resist intruders that may occur anywhere, anytime.

Either honestly fleeing Imperial Capital, then frustrated to receive territorial wars that were swept by war, wealth and real estate being looted and destroyed.

So at that time, many nobles had bitterly bitten their teeth and used a lot of money to arm the local guards. Many local guards on aristocratic territory with a long history were even more armed than the regular army. .

but!

They are pitted.

With the new decree issued by the Emperor of the Empire, the Special Regiment Act during the Great Patriotic War, passed through Imperial Capital, the local guards who were heavily armed to the teeth were reorganized and reorganized into regular troops, that is, the army assembled by the aristocrats with money. Go to fight and don’t have to pay any price. Although many of the nobility have a lot of grievances and dissatisfaction, considering the consequences of the failure of the war, they can only smash their teeth and swallow their stomachs, but also reveal a “I am willing to pay for the empire.” Everything’s expression.

After the end of the war, a large number of troops from the nobility and the Guartian and provincial sages were on the battlefield, so that the class contradictions that had already erupted had been quenched in an instant. At the same time, according to the conspiracy theorists, the imperial royal family colluded with the new party to sell the nobles and completely ended the feudal imperial dynasty that had lasted for hundreds of years. The reason for all this was that during the war, the imperial royal family toughly plundered too much wealth and materials from the hands of the nobility through such various policies and special wartime laws, and the aristocrats were already dissatisfied.

Regardless of the factors and the factors that have been affected, the local guards, which were issued in wartime, seem to have been forgotten, and have not been cancelled because of the end of the war. They can still follow the laws of the time. carried out.

There is another question involved here. Since there are loopholes to drill, are the tycoons and big men all exploiting this loophole?

The answer is no, although the special laws and regulations in wartime have not been abolished, but after the post-war New Party’s debut, there have been many restrictions on this law. For example, in the non-war time, the local guards in each town are not allowed to exceed seven. Individuals, equipped with no more than three rifles, are not allowed to purchase or place any war machine and weapon platform, and have strict restrictions on these weapons. At the same time, the Imperial Police Investigation Bureau also has agents to patrol the entire empire, and the local gendarmerie is also scrutinizing such violations.

Therefore, no matter how much money the big guys spend, it makes no sense. It is better to have some money than to support a few beggars.

Can this law really have no further loopholes to drill?

In fact, this is not the case. According to the “Non-wartime Local Guards’ Rights and Obligations”, when the “hazardous” wild beast appears around the town and the village, it is necessary for the guards to ensure the safety of citizens’ private property and the civil rights. Violations require active annihilation of these “hazardous” wild beasts.

Sometimes, there is no “harmful” wild beast, and the sheriff has the final say!

There are not many seven people, but if these seven people are as squadrons and have three rifles, the effect that can be achieved is not as simple as “seven people.”

I think that the two sides are even matched, and even Durin is a little bit worse. At this time, suddenly there is a seven-person squad who spends every day in militarized training with a rifle and attacks from behind each other. This is absolutely terrible!
