Chapter 3205
Ten Thousand Armies' Zayne's condition during these few days was indeed as Charlie had guessed. He felt incomparably tormented.
He had originally thought that if their army suppressed and pressured Hamed's base by besieging him without fighting, this would definitely place huge psychological pressure on Hamed and his men. That way, it would not even take long for Hamed's internal forces to become disorganized or even defect from Hamed's army.
However, what Zayne really did not expect was that even after a few days had passed, not even a dog had run out of Hamed's base.
In this kind of siege war, what a person would fear the most was if the enemy was strong and united.
Once the enemy was not afraid, they would have continued besieging the enemy indefinitely until Hamed ran out of ammunition, food, or if he could not continue holding on any longer.
Over the past few days, Zayne's financial deficit had been alarmingly high.
His adjutant had looked for him and reported to him worriedly, "Commander, we currently have fifteen
thousand men, and their daily salaries and various expenses cost at least thirty to forty million US dollars. If this continues, at any rate, our money will not last too long anymore." 2
The Four War Kings of Ten Thousand Armies all adopted an independent accounting mechanism. This was equivalent to the fact that the four of them had a different branch company. They had to ensure that they could achieve financial self-sufficiency, and at the same time, they would have to ensure that they were making a profit. If there was a deficit, it could only be resolved internally.
When Zayne heard this data, he immediately had a very uncomfortable and dark expression on his face that was even worse than the expression he would have if his father died.
He ground his teeth and said, "It definitely cannot continue going on like this. Pass my order down that starting from today, everyone's salaries will be reduced by half as long as there is no war!"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
When the adjutant heard this, he said nervously," Commander, everyone has already been complaining a lot lately. If you deduct their salaries by half, I'm afraid that they will protest collectively!"
Zayne asked angrily, "These people are simply staying in the barracks all day long with nothing to do. They don't need to fight, and they do not need to risk their lives, yet they are still getting paid as usual. So, what else do they have to complain about?!" 2
The adjutant said awkwardly,
"Everyone has been feeling a lot of
negative emotions over the past two days. On one hand, everyone is extremely dissatisfied with the current food, and on the other hand, it is because of the problems with the condition of the
accommodations. They have sent a few representatives to complain to me about this matter, and they want me to find you so that you can help them to solve this problem."
Zayne had an angry expression on his face as he said," Explain to me clearly exactly what they are not satisfied with, one by one." 5
The adjutant hurriedly said, "In that
case, I'll talk about it one by one, then. First of all, it is the issue with food. Currently, aside from the middle and high-level officers, everyone else has the same food standard as the local government soldiers. The food suppliers are all the same too. The local food is really not quite suitable to our soldier's palates..."
"Our soldiers attach great importance to physical fitness, and so, their usual eating habits are a little more Western-American. They usually eat a lot more beef, vegetables, milk, and even peanut butter and ice cream every day."
As he spoke, the adjutant then said,
"As for the accommodation
problem, the main reason is
because everyone is not really satisfied with the current marching tents." "These tents were all pieced together by the government, and most of these tents have already been placed in the warehouse for a long time. It is a common occurrence for the tents to be leaking and for wind and rain to get into the tents, but since it is the rainy season now, the tents are also very humid inside. The feeling of living inside these tents is really terrible.”
"Furthermore, we cannot guarantee the problem of power supply at all. We cannot meet the common use of more than thirty thousand soldiers on both sides with the only few generator sets that we have. So, now, we can only take turns to use the power supply, and on average, each soldier can only use electricity for an average of not more than four hours a day." 2
"Therefore, everyone is now asking for a unified replacement of modular prefabricated houses and also for you to ensure a twenty-four hours power supply for them." 2
Zayne then cursed furiously, "Are these b*stards here for a war, or are they here for a vacation?!" 2
The adjutant said helplessly, "Commander, although they are here to fight a war, you should also know that they personally do not like to fight any hard battles either!" 6
