v3 Chapter 164： Traffic jam (1/2)

When I left the city government, it was close to noon. {

Xu also glanced at the sky and thought that he had just returned. Today’s lunch said that he would return to the Stars Manor to enjoy it with Steele. Then the rest of the time is not enough to visit some of the scheduled people. Had to go to the carriage and go to the Stars Manor.

As the body swayed back and forth along the road with the carriage, Xu also thought about the answer he had just received from Severini.

In theory, the private army owned by a nobleman can be infinite, because the Royal Parliament and the Royal Aristocratic Parliament have never had any special restrictions on this aspect.

Because if you carefully analyze the structure of the Kingdom of Lampari, you will find that the entire Kingdom of Lampari is actually composed of a large aristocracy.

The royal family is actually the most powerful aristocratic family in the kingdom.

The army owned by the royal family is also the strongest and strongest in the kingdom, so the royal family can always control the greatest power in the kingdom. The patriarch of the royal family can be the king of the kingdom.

If one day the royal family can't maintain this absolute advantage, then it is very likely that it will be overthrown by other big aristocratic families, thus changing the regime.

It should be said that this is not unusual in the history of the earth, but it is not as naked as it is in the Kingdom of Lampari.

On the entire Sainz continent, except for some small principalities and ultra-small kingdoms, all other countries, including the Candela Empire and the Marlow Empire, are basically this kind of political system, so Xu’s problem lies in It seems that Sevigny is not a problem at all.

Of course, the infinite aristocratic private army can only exist in theory.

First of all. It is also the most important issue. It is the cost investment.

I want to form my own private army. Of course, it is impossible to say that if you just want to get together and build a group of people, you can be considered a private army.

For the army, there is no fighting power, and that is the rabble.

If you want to have combat power, the first one must have enough quality soldiers.

The population of the Kingdom of Lampari has not been much, and the living conditions have not been very good. Therefore, the physical quality is qualified, and the number of candidates who can serve as soldiers is not sufficient, resulting in a small number of troops in the Kingdom of Lampari. Even the most powerful town of the Northern Army, it is only more than 30,000 people.

The second one is adequate logistics.

In addition to their own qualities, a qualified soldier must possess weapons and equipment to form combat effectiveness.

And to ensure that this soldier has such combat power, must also have the corresponding supply, at least let the soldier can eat full stomach.

The investment cost on this is undoubtedly very scary.

The current kings of the Lampari Kingdom are only about 50,000 in total, but each year the kingdom's financial investment in military spending must be at least 300,000 gold coins.

And such investment is still extremely low.

Not only is it far less than the Sark Kingdom, but even a few small countries around. For example, the Principality of Drake is very different.

No way, the Kingdom of Lampari was so poor before.

so. To have an unlimited private army, you must first have unlimited capital investment.

This is of course impossible. Therefore, even in the Kingdom of Lampari, even the most powerful Stark family except the royal family, the private army on the bright side is only 3,000 people.

Of course, in fact, there are not many accurate answers to the number of private soldiers in the Stark family.

But even if you make the most daring calculations, it is about 5,000.

Because even if the Stark family is willing to invest, it will also involve another very important issue besides the cost input, that is, the suppression from the royal family.

Since the political system of the Kingdom of Lampari determines that the royal family must be the most powerful family, then in order to maintain this advantage, the royal family will of course strictly limit the private army owned by other nobles in the kingdom.

Despite being limited to the unwritten agreement between the nobility and the traditions of the Sains continent, the royal family could not force the aristocratic parliament to pass a resolution that clearly defined the private army owned by the nobility in the kingdom, but as the family that holds the greatest power in the kingdom. The royal family certainly has countless ways to do this.

For example, Lampari XIII once issued an order to protect the kingdom and asked the major aristocrats in the kingdom to send a certain proportion of private troops under their own name to the Zhenbei Army to fight against the Sark Kingdom.

The proportion of casualties in the Zhenbei Army is very high. If the private army is sent in proportion, then obviously the more private troops, the greater the losses suffered by their families.

Then, in conjunction with the other series of restrictions of the royal family, the nobility in the Kingdom of Lampari gradually stabilized the number of private troops under his name.

A large family of three thousand, like the Stark family, is already the highest standard in the kingdom.

The famous big family in other kingdoms, the private army is probably about two thousand.

And the viscount of such a district like Xu...

Want to have a private army? Are you crazy?
