"Yes, leader! I know that the Spanish churches and wine cellars are full of gold and silver jewelry, and even the priests' magical instruments are made of pure gold, because they are sure that God likes the colors of gold and silver!"

"Who knows where they come from? Perhaps it was brought from the New World. For nearly 300 years, most of the wealth that has provided the Spanish Kingdom in Latin America has been concentrated in churches, monasteries or the mansions of the nobles."

"How much is it worth? Sorry, sir, I can't count it. When I came here with my father before the war, I only knew that the value of a church in Zaragoza was comparable to the taxes of Marseille in the city of Marseille."

...

The painstaking conversation between the two conspirators quickly led to the soldiers' greed.

"Hey, Penduath, is that what the trainee lieutenant said is true? You were the only one who ran out of the monastery alive. Did you see it?" Silva whispered to his chief, despite the lack of respect.

"Maybe, I just saw a silver candlestick lying in the corner of the monastery. As for the rest, I didn't pay much attention to it. You should understand that I was running for my life at that time, but I didn't have time to take care of those things. In addition, damn Silva, please call me a corporal." The corporal touched his armband and complained to his fellow villagers, but more of a show-off.

"Okay, my fellow corporals, I no longer care about your extra 30 francs. You must know that there are countless golden and white treasures waiting for me to get them in the church in front of me." Silva Private laughed happily, hoping that he was exchanging the red-haired girl with gold and silver utensils with the merchant. He could not wait to fall on the woman's plump breasts.

"Okay, okay, I hope you are lucky and come back alive!" Penduas mocked his subordinates, but it did not hinder his inner fantasy: "How many francs can a silverware be exchanged for? How much is a gold plate worth? Well, if you work hard this time, at least your mother will no longer be too tired. She should have her own pearl necklace, the kind of red sapphire inlaid; and for my father, I want to buy a cellar full of brandy or rum, and let him lie on the barrel and sing Marseille every day; as for my younger brothers and sisters, new clothes, new shoes, and new toys; by the way, I need a new house."

After a while, the soldiers' whispers gathered into a big talk, and almost everyone was talking unscrupulously about how they should deal with those valuable things. The officers did not come out to maintain military discipline, and even a little indulgent, and they were hinted by the regiment commander.

The soldiers' enthusiasm was mobilized, but it was not enough. The goal required by the Desai regiment commander was: how to carry out efficient and orderly robbery while ensuring victory in the battle and obeying military discipline. The smart commander quickly thought of a solution to the problem. He found an officer with "rich experience in practice" to talk to and brainstorm.

Captain Delney, the acting battalion commander of the first battalion, was less than 40 years old and had gray hair, but his face was rosy and agile. In his spare time, he liked to tell the soldiers about his glorious battle stories. The soldiers also liked this kind and careless white-headed commander.

Captain Delney joined the Alpine army to fight on the Italian Peninsula. When General Napoleon was carrying 30 million gold francs, he was the first to complete the collection task, but the soldiers were too troubled and accidentally injured an Italian duke. After returning to China, Delney was forcibly retired by the military court, but with the guarantee of the old general Delsae, Delney allowed to retain the rank of captain and transfer to the reserve service. Until a few years ago, Captain Delney was re-summoned to join the army. Because it was Aiwu and U, Delney had a good impression of the old general Delsae's son.

Perhaps to learn from the painful lessons of the past, the white-headed Captain first hoped to set up a military police force, and to draw a platoon from each battalion to form a military squadron, responsible for maintaining military discipline in the field, but the military police force is not allowed to participate in any plunder. As for the distinction marks of the military police, the left arm is wrapped with yellow satin armbands.

Furthermore, no matter the officer or soldier, each person is allowed to keep one piece of trophy that cannot affect the continued combat. Other property must be uniformly handed over to the battalion company headquarters to be registered and processed by the military police. 30% of the auction proceeds belong to the soldiers themselves, 30% belong to officers at all levels, and the remaining part is classified as wounded soldiers, those who died, and the military police.

In addition, any soldier who hides excess property, fights with his companions, intentionally damages property, delays opportunities for war or refuses to obey orders will be punished to reduce or even be deprived of the qualification to distribute spoils. In severe cases, military law can be implemented by the gendarmerie!

As for the first company that rushes into a church, abbey or a wealthy mansion and guards, they will receive 15 to 20 minutes of rest. Of course, that is a legitimate robbery time, and it is under the permission and supervision of the gendarmerie. Other companies must be fully armed guards outside or continue to attack...

Regarding the candidate for the military police captain, Captain Delney recommended his fellow villager to the regiment commander, Captain Carls, 36, who worked as the chief of criminal investigation in the police station in Toulouse. He once arrested a criminal gang that colluded with internal and external forces to help wealthy children escape military service by using forged cases. Five officers, including a garrison colonel, were also sent to the military court. However, afterwards, Carls, who offended too many people, had to resign from the police station and switch to the army to be responsible for the supply of supplies in the regiment.

At the previous officer meeting, the commander Desay had also met Carls himself, and his appearance and behavior left a deep impression on him: a pair of sharp eagles appeared on his shriveled and thin face, which made people timid at first glance, and his nose was curved and pointed like an iron hook used by a butcher. At the meeting, Carls was always taciturn, always retracted and always wanted to retreat to observe others in the dark place. He also liked to eat melon seeds, and always had a few plates of sunflowers in his old but neat military uniform.

After a little thought, Desai nodded and agreed to Delney's recommendation. Except in Paris or the Emperor's Near Guards, the military police were not permanent institutions. They would automatically disband after the battle and their power was classified as the Military Law Department.

"Lt. Colonel Desay, there is one more thing. Does the distribution of trophy not need to be considered for superiors?"

"No need, because once you attack the core city, every division will have a happy time to rob, and our regiment will just take the lead. I believe Marshal Rana will understand that when he was in Egypt, he and my father did a lot of these things... Is there anything else to add? OK, now you will form texts and convey them to each battalion and company; by the way, draft a Captain Karls's appointment and authorize him to form a military police squadron."
