Compared with the doctors who have worked hard to solve many problems of artillery and horses, it seems easier to supplement food and soldiers. The Mias area is located in plains and basins. Because it has not fought with the Spaniards for many years, agricultural production has not been damaged, and the supply of grain and meat is relatively sufficient. Almost every household has surplus grain and jerky for the legion.

When discussing military rations with Sandero, Milière and others, General Andrew, who was clearly rewarded and sympathetic to his subordinates, advocated that the three armies would move forward before the three armies could move. In his opinion, soldiers could only fight well and win battles if they were full and warm. Andrew had heard of the perfect logistics support system of modern warfare in his early years. He was extremely envious of the supply method of the trinity of the land, sea and air. Therefore, in his suggestion to Sandero, the actual general quarantine officer of the Legion, mentioned that the army quarantine department was required to develop iron canned foods, dehydrated vegetables, and even compressed biscuits for the soldiers to facilitate transportation and storage.

As a result, Sandro, who was on one side of the bag, was not slugging his mouth for horse problems. It was the profiteers taking the opportunity to raise the price (in advance, Andrew suggested that the army forcefully extort the matter, but Sandro believed that the general's approach was tantamount to killing chickens and getting eggs, which was even worse). As soon as he heard Andrew's ridiculous suggestions from Feifei, the old housekeeper said nothing but refused the commander's request without hesitation, and asked Andrew to leave his office without hesitation to disturb his work.

In Sandero's opinion, providing soldiers with 8-day rated food guarantees and the normal operation of the transit warehouse can normally ensure the military rations of the 50,000 troops. As for the things the general mentioned, one is that it is unnecessary, the second is that the money is consumed too much, and the third is that the soldiers do not want to eat it.

General Andrew, who wanted to fully utilize his imagination and creativity, felt bored after hearing this reply and ran out in shame. After 20 minutes, when he walked to a place on the left of the military camp, he was attracted by the lively military music. He walked over quickly and found that there were crowds of people and flags. Andrew saw more than a dozen officers busy at the desk, and opposite them were a group of neatly arranged people, which were the recruits waiting for the officers to issue military uniforms and weapons.

The recruitment of recruits was over the day before yesterday. According to the plan, Andrew originally recruited 10,000 soldiers, but more than 30,000 people came. It was a good thing to have a large crowd, but Captain Pierce, the deputy of Colonel Shush, was exhausted. The boss of the young officer, Colonel Shush, decided to give up the recruitment and training of recruits after a secret talk with General Andrew that day, and left them to his assistants to take charge of them. He went there and carefully selected and trained his special forces brigade according to the commander's requirements.

Captain Pierce did his duty and selected the recruits without complaints, selecting a suitable soldier from the three candidates. Denadi and Levana were the lucky ones. After some inquiries and physical examinations, they, who had been hunters, successfully entered the recruits' camp, and were standing together, waiting to receive their uniforms and equipment.

Denadi and Levana are both young people under 20 years old. They have grown up together since childhood and both come from the same village nearby. Denadi, who is of medium size, is extremely active, has blue eyes and blonde hair. The Levana is tall and big, and seems to be because of his older age, and he looks much more stable. Because there are quite a few people in front of him, the two of them gather together and whisper to pass the time when they are idle.

"Brother Levana, look at the green uniforms they hold, they are not good-looking at all. Isn't our legion blue?" Denadi said to Levana behind him. It seems that he is also extremely disgusted with the green uniform.

"I heard others say that this was an order issued by Commander Andrew himself. As for the reason, I don't know much. Some people say that Paris did not issue military pay for the legion. The commander had no choice but to take out his pocket, but he was poor because he didn't have much money. He could only let all the soldiers dress in cheap green or yellow uniforms. Look, the uniforms of the officers were also green." Levana, who was called "big brother" by the person in front of him, replied in a low voice. He was nervous and still looking around, and found that others around him were talking quietly like him, and then he said carefully.

"Poor? Brother, are you kidding? Who knows that General Shanyue is the richest commander? We came here from Saint Garda from all over the world just to get rich. I'm not here!" Denadi, who was outspoken, shouted loudly, and ignored the surrounding occasions.

"Shh, you can't be quieter," Levana was startled by the shouts of his villager. He first gave an old punch to Denadi as a warning, and then looked around again. Seeing that the officers were just busy counting and distributing various items, they didn't notice their topic, they felt much more at ease. He lowered his voice again and continued in anger: "Damn bastard, do you want the whole army to know that we are discussing that the commander has become a pauper?"

"Haha, don't worry, my friends, Commander Andrew's purse is always filled with gold coins. In other legions, soldiers' treatment is 2 to 3 francs per month, but here is 5 francs. Yes, it's very good. Moreover, the war is about to begin, haha, the opportunity to get rich is here. Didn't the officers say that after each battle, his personal spoils belong to him. The Military Control Department also organized a commercial group to auction on-site. Putting the coins in his pocket is always easier than if we resist something that we don't know if it can be exchanged for money on our shoulders." The above speech came from behind Levana. When he turned around, he found a garlic nose, who was also a recruit, looking at himself and Denadi with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Shavet, and I am from Laroche." Garlic Nose, who was in her early 20s, reached out and took the initiative to introduce herself.

When Levana shook hands with his new partner, he also introduced himself frankly: "Hello, Chavet, my name is Levana, he is Denadi, and we both come from Saint-Godand. You are from Laroche, is it Laroche in Vandy County? Then you want to introduce..."

Levana didn't finish her words, but was interrupted by Denadi behind her. He asked in the previous sentence of the garlic nose: "Brother, it's the Brothers of Chavet, tell us: the commander's gold coins, and the good things about the general and the Spanish princess."

Levana shrugged apologetically, and he also hoped that Shavet could tell the story of General Andrew's rebellion in Vandy. Shavet was an honest man. Under the urgent request of two new friends, he told everything he could know. There were many things that Shavet himself didn't know, and most of them were just rumors.

Chavet, the lucky rebel soldier on the Brittany Plain, surrendered to the Republican Army with his boss and Lieutenant. Because he was an ordinary Wandering peasant, he was released home after two days of imprisonment, and the officers of the prisoner-of-war camp gave him ten francs as a means of money.

When he returned to the village, Shaweit found that everything in front of him had become ruins, with ruins everywhere and wild dogs rampant. Not only did his parents and brothers disappear, but even a living person in the village could not be found. After years of war, the people in the village either died in battle or fled to other places. After waiting alone in the village for four or five days, the sad Shaweit still couldn't see anyone. In desperation, he had no choice but to return to Laros City, hoping to find a career in the city to make a living.

Outside La Roche, Chavet met his old superior. The lieutenant had changed into a blue uniform and became a captain officer of the National Self-Defense Forces of the Vondee under the leadership of Father Benier. The captain warmly received Chavet and invited him to a tavern for a big meal. After learning about Chavet's experience, the captain told Chavet that the situation in the Vondee had calmed down with the joint efforts of General Andrew and Father Benier, and now all refugees have returned to their homes smoothly. Because Chavet's village is located on the edge of the rebellion, various rebels and the Republican army have frequently fought there for several years, and most of the refugees fled to other places to settle. The captain suggested that Chavet stay in La Roche for a few days first so that he could help find information about Chavet's parents and family.

But after more than ten days, despite the captain's efforts to help, there was still no information about Shavet's family. Fortunately, Shavet had anticipated the cruel reality at this time, and his reaction was normal under the care of the captain. The kind-hearted captain wanted Shavet to stay in his own self-defense battalion to play, at least to make a living, but Shavet refused. That was because he didn't want to bother the captain anymore, and he was unwilling to stay in the old place so that countless sad things could be recalled.

So, Chavet made a decision that he would sigh in the future. He decided to leave Laroche City and leave Wandai. Chavet, who had never been to another place, wanted to go out and make a chance to find his lost family.

Before leaving, the captain gave Chavet some francs and roads that he could use during his journey. After thanking the captain for his help, Chavet resolutely made a long journey on the tower. He first arrived at the city of Royan on the side of Biscay, and then headed south along the Garon River, and stayed in Bordeaux, Langong, Agen, Toulousz and other places. In early May, he arrived at the city of Mias, the base camp of the Pyrenees. At this time, Chavet was penniless, and he was hungry and could only think of doing short-term work. With his strong physique and skills in doing farm work in his early years, Chavet quickly found a job and helped the farmers who lack livestock.

One day, when he pushed a ox cart full of grain and sent it to the quarantine department of the Pyrenees Army, in front of the army's camp, he saw countless people gathering there for the quota of the army. Shavet was not moved at all and didn't want to sign up at all. That was because he was tired of military life, and just wanted to work and earn money casually and raise enough money to continue on the road. After selling the grain, Shavet wanted to rush home, but a familiar voice stopped him.

The person who called him was an officer. Captain Pierce, who was actually in charge of the recruitment of the entire recruitment of recruits, was also the administrator of the former captive camp of the Wandai Army. Pierce could tell at a glance that the strong man driving the ox cart was the rebel soldier he had released before. So he greeted Shavet like an old friend. In the eyes of everyone's enviousness, Shavet of Muna was specially invited by the captain who recruited the recruits to talk.

Captain Pierce obviously admires Chavet. First, his magnificent figure is a good material for serving in the army, and his experience as a soldier; second, his filial piety can travel thousands of miles to find his family; third, his honesty and simplicity have been seen in the prisoner-of-war camp. Chavet took the initiative to appease and help other rebel soldiers and actively cooperate with Captain Pierce's management. As early as when he was in the Vendé Prison War Camp, Pierce hoped that Chavet could stay and join the army and serve for revolutionary France, but Chavet refused on the pretext of going home. Now, Pierce made this request again, and he hoped Chavet could consider it.

Pierce encouraged Chavet and told him that Commander Andrew would start a war against Spain soon, and follow the mountain general, and eat delicious food and drink spicy food. As for Chavet's family, because they have been separated for many years, they are simply looking for needles in the seabed and have no way to talk about it. It is better to serve in the army. When they are promoted and wealthy in the future, if Chavet's family is still in the world, they will definitely know where they are and will definitely come to surrender.

“…

Look, so many young men came to join General Andrew's legion. Haha, which legion in France is so attractive. You must know that this is a 3:1 choice.

…

Well, there is no need to reply to me first, you can go home and consider it. Don’t worry, within 3 days, I will reserve a place to join the army for you.”

What he said was very reasonable. Xia Weite nodded and turned around without saying a word. Behind him were jealous gazes that could kill people.

Chavet, who returned home from his employer's house, was always depressed. He was repeatedly thinking about Captain Pierce's conversation. Indeed, if he continued to search for his family without any purpose, there would be no hope. Even if he found out how he was helpless and penniless, he would not be as good as joining the army as the two captains said, and he might be lucky and be able to become an officer. After he became famous, he would continue to find his lost relatives.

Thinking of this, the thought decided. The kind-hearted Chavet went to the boss, explained the matter in its original place, and voluntarily gave up his daily wages. The employer of Chavet was the "old brother" who was fooled by Andrew. When they were in the Legion camp that day, they gave up asking for animals because they were grateful for Andrew's sincerity and returned the compensation. Andrew was not such a stingy person. After reading too many 21st Century news copying, he knew how to spend a small amount of money to do big publicity. Andrew resolutely took the guards to send the money back door to door. If any farmer did not agree, Commander Andrew would not leave. After a few repetitions, everyone accepted the compensation. At the same time, General Andrew's reputation of loving the people as his sons also spread.

After hearing Shavet's honest words, the old farmer no longer tried to keep them, took out the excess grain and jerky and handed them to Shavet's hands, and ordered him to take them to the legion, explaining that the people thanked General Andrew for their care and hoped that Shavet would win more battles in the Pyrenees Legion, and so on.

Chavet, who came to the military camp, was also assigned to the recruit company with Levanna, Denadi and others (at the beginning, Captain Pierce wanted him to join the ranks of veterans, but Chavet insisted on joining the recruit company because he had never received formal training, etc.). While queuing, he still couldn't stop talking about the conversation between the two.

By Levana, when Denadi lamented General Andrew's affair, Denadi had already walked to the quarconian officer and began to collect various equipment.

"Name?"

"Denardi!"

...

"Two sets of combat equipment, two pairs of mountain shoes, one rifle... Take a look, and you sign here, if you can't write, just press a handprint."

"Second lieutenant, where is my ammunition and bayonet? I am a good hunter in the village. I can shoot and use bayonets!"

"Well, don't worry, you will be sent out after the training is over. Say it casually, if you want to fight and cause trouble in the military camp, it's best to use your fists to settle the matter. Colonel Xiade's gendarmerie will just lock you up for a few days. If you have ammunition and bayonets, please be careful of your head. Remember, the next one!"

...

"Name?"

"Levana!"

...

After two points, the third party of Shavet, Levana and Dena, who had become good friends, all received their own equipment. When they were about to leave the venue, a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of them. Commander Andrew came!

"Long live the commander!"

"Long live the commander!"

"Long live the commander!"

...

Cheers and applause immediately sounded in the venue. The officers and the recruits surrounded them together, pushing Shaweit and others to General Andrew.

The commander greeted his subordinates with laughter and shook hands with everyone enthusiastically. If he met a few familiar officers, he would come forward and pat their shoulders, beat the other person's chest, and give him a few words of motivation at the same time.

When Andrew turned to Shavet and the other two, his formerly amiable face suddenly became serious. He signaled the people around him to stop the noise and pointed at the stunned recruit Denadi and asked: "You, the recruit citizen, tell the commander, the purpose of your service to the officer is true and not hypocritical!"

"Report, report, report, commander, me, me," Dernadi was obviously too nervous. He didn't know why General Andrew asked him this question. Did the commander hear what we were talking just now? When he thought of this, Dernadi immediately changed from nervousness to fear. While he was speechless, his hands and feet were trembling constantly.

"You want money, so join the army, right?" General Andrew replied, and then asked Levana, who was stunned by the side, "Now you will tell me your purpose of joining the army!"

Levana was also nervous, but fortunately, he could stammer and say his thoughts while nervous, "Report, report to the commander, I came to the legion because the legion commanded by the general is well treated and has high benefits, so he can win a battle!"

"Yeah!" Andrew hummed without comment, and finally pointed at Shaweit and asked, "Where are you, a strong soldier, it seems that you are a foreigner, why did you come to the military camp for?"

"Report to the commander, for honor, he is the legion, the commander, and himself!" Shaweit said loudly without reservation. He had seen the rain of bullets and bullets, no longer afraid of anything, including General Andrew, who made everyone scared.

"Oh, interesting! What's for yourself? Also, report your name, recruit citizen." Andrew tilted his head, looked at the recruit Chavet and continued to ask.

"My name is Shaweit, and I am from Wangdai. The purpose of joining the army is to be a general, just like the commander, so that I can become famous all over the world!"

Shaweit's words were obviously too shocking. As soon as he spoke, the people around him started to whisper after being silent for a long time, and some were still sarcasticating Shaweit without any hesitation.

Andrew wrinkled his head, stopping everyone's discussion and ridicule. His serious expression gradually faded, and a hint of praise appeared in the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed Shavit's right hand and raised it above his head, as if the referee in the boxing ring was pulling the winning boxer around for a while, and then whispered to the onlookers:

"Good, Shavet! This is a really good soldier! Money and honor belong to the legion, also to soldiers, and even more to enterprising officers. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! Only when you become a general can you have more money, happiness and honor. Haha, the standard for my improvement of subordinates is mainly ability and military merits, especially the latter. Only the blood and corpses of the enemy are the biggest cornerstones for you to ascend to the general position. And now, please ask Captain Pierce to come out," Andrew called the recruit training officer who rushed to hear the news and continued to order: "Now, please arrange a good position for us, the soldier who wants to be a general, squad leader or platoon deputy."

...
Chapter completed!
