Chapter 53 The Battle of Waterloo (1)
Zheng Xu quickly signed up, and he also saw the reward from 2 to 32, but he didn't take it seriously. He felt that it must be a gimmick, and he didn't come specifically for that.
In order to ensure that the ingots are enough and save trouble, he recharged another two million. Although this is a big number, compared with his extravagant cousins, their spending for a high-end dance far exceeds this number.
This is just a small matter, the big end he spent is still behind.
"Young Master, these are two gentlemen from the Institute of Military History, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu. They have had extremely in-depth research on the military history of various countries and will definitely be helpful to you." A housekeeper in his sixties bent down and said to Zheng Xu.
Zheng Xu looked at the two men standing behind him, both of whom were half-white-haired old men. Although the clothes were clean and neat, they could tell at first glance that they were miscellaneous goods. Maybe the other party was low-key, but they definitely wouldn't have much money, otherwise they wouldn't agree to such a three-month employment.
"Well, let's live in my house. The treatment has been negotiated before. If you have any questions, I will notify you by phone. This is the case first, you can go out first." He didn't get up, but said a few words there.
The face of Mr. Xu twitched. The Mr. Chen next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, and he swallowed the words he didn't say back. Like Mr. Chen, he just nodded in response.
The old housekeeper had long been accustomed to Zheng Xu's temper, so he nodded and took the two gentlemen out of Zheng Xu's bedroom.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, our young master, is young and has poor courtesy, please don't be blamed." The old housekeeper apologized repeatedly. It is not easy to find someone who is proficient in the military history of various countries, especially in such a short time, he doesn't want the two of them to leave in anger. He will be the one who is troubled by then.
"Forget it, wealthy families always have their own rules. We are at ease when we work and get money, and we don't have to pay attention to any etiquette." Mr. Chen said first.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your tolerance. The two have already arranged their residences. You can have dinner with me every day. If you feel inconvenient, please inform me about it." As he said that, the old butler sent the two gentlemen to the room on the first floor.
Two gentlemen who studied military history stayed in the guest room. Soon, Mr. Chen came to Mr. Xu's guest room and they started chatting.
"Old Xu, you are really a person who is half-buried, and you are calculating about something with a child," Mr. Chen said.
"Oh, we worked hard for half a lifetime to study, but in the end we could only become tools for the powerful to play and entertainment. It's really a waste of people." Mr. Xu was a little resentful.
"What's the solution? Staying in that kind of clean yamen, the annual salary and benefits are not enough for a meal for others. If it weren't for the welfare of a family in the early years, it would be even more unbearable now. Your daughter wants to go to college and get married in the future. If you don't make some extra money now, when will you wait? Besides, we are much better than those guys, so we can only make a living by relying on our ability. No one can say anything. There is anything ugly." Mr. Chen was open-minded.
"That's the reason. Two months are one million. You can't find this job, but at least you can give me some face. If you say hello, you will only treat us as servants who can call us around," Mr. Xu also understood that he just couldn't hold on to face.
"There is no one who doesn't get angry about making money. In the institute, everyone calls me a teacher, but the money is just that little, and it won't increase once a few years."
………………………………………
Zheng Xu didn't pay much attention to the two military history researchers invited by high salaries, just hoped that the other party could tell him some historical details, provide some reference materials, and expect him to check and analyze it on Baidu. That would definitely be impossible.
As for why not invite two military advisers over, of course, it is because he wants to play by himself, not by letting people play.
After the game's announcement on "Storm and Cloud Battlefield" was released, 24 hours passed quickly.
"The first battle on the battlefield of the wind and clouds: Battle of Waterloo, the two sides participated in the battle: French army, anti-French coalition. French leader: Emperor Napoleon; anti-French coalition leader: Duke Wellington, commander of the British-Dutch coalition, and commander of the Prussian army, Marshal Blüchel. Victory and loss signs: the main force of the French army was defeated or the main force of the anti-French coalition was defeated. The battle started on June 16, 1815."
"Player's personal victory sign: persist in survival to the victory of our camp"
"Start the role-playing campaign: French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, with a base price of one million yuan. If no one is running for the role, the intelligent NPC will automatically take over, and their body, personality, background, knowledge, and decision-making habits will be consistent with history, and the specific commands will change according to the actual situation."
Zheng Xu's emotions suddenly rose. Of course he had heard of the Battle of Waterloo, but he didn't understand the specific process. He just knew that the French army was defeated. Napoleon was even more famous. Of course, it was a lot of fun to be able to play such an emperor who was famous in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
He took the landline phone next to his hand and dialed a number.
"Let those two people come over, I want to ask them something."
"I know, Master"
It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and at this time, they were still having supper, but since the employer had spoken, he had to put down his chopsticks and rushed over.
"It may take some time to move a seat for the two gentlemen," Zheng Xu remembered something this time and ordered the housekeeper next to him.
"Well," the old housekeeper soon asked someone to bring in two high-back chairs and place them behind Zheng Xu.
"Okay, you can go out"
After the old butler retreated, Zheng Xu spoke, "Two gentlemen, have you studied the Battle of Waterloo?"
"Of course," said Mr. Chen, "this is a battle that determines the situation in Europe, which took place in 1815..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the extra things first. Tell me about the role Napoleon played in the entire battle."
Mr. Chen stopped, but soon came to his senses. Of course, he knew which Napoleon the other party was talking about. "Napoleon was the French emperor at that time. He had just regained the throne and was the supreme commander of the French army in the entire Battle of Waterloo. He decided the fate of the French army in that battle."
After understanding some of the employer's character, Mr. Chen stopped talking nonsense and only talked in the simplest and clearest words.
"Okay, tell me, if you became Napoleon, can you turn defeat into victory in this battle and defeat the anti-French coalition?" Zheng Xu asked again.
"Impossible" was beyond Zheng Xu's expectations, and the two gentlemen said almost at the same time.
"Why?" Zheng Xu was very surprised. He already knew so many things. Can't he change the ending if he predicted the future?
"It's very simple. We are all modern people. Although we know most of the process and endings, we have no experience in commanding soldiers in that era to fight, and we don't have the courage and character. Let us be Napoleon and we will mess up the army on the first day."
