Chapter 779: Blood tax

Chapter 777 Blood Tax

The name of the Knights, of course, can’t really be the same as the iron cans

that rode horses in the Middle Ages.

In fact, even if they want to go horseback riding in retro style, there are no

horses for them to ride in this environment.

Although, in a sense, this kind of regional armed forces does require

mobility, horse riding is also a solution to the problem when cars or other

modern means of transportation are lacking.

However, what Chen Xin prepared for these "riders" were snowmobiles and

snowmobiles, of course, they were all versions with isotope thermoelectric

batteries.

The current Yan Guo has already fully grasped the isotope thermoelectric

battery technology provided by Chen Xin, and can produce this kind of "nuclear

power" transportation.

In fact, this kind of domestic transportation that almost never needs

refueling is widely used. Nuclear-powered snowmobiles with protective clothing

are the first choice for most people who need to travel for short distances.

Although driving is OK, there are more cars. It is still applied to long-

distance travel.

After all, it is light, flexible and easy to use. Under the premise of

commuting short and medium distances between one or two people, snowmobiles

are really easy to use.

Chen Xin did not intend to provide land cruisers to these knights. In fact,

they did not even have a mobile base that could not fly. They only obtained a

small-scale mobile board house and functional shelter from the European aid

fleet. Barracks.

As for snowmobiles and other vehicles, as well as the weapons equipped by the

Knights, except for a set of exoskeleton that enhances combat capabilities and

protective clothing that can deal with extreme cold environments, the weapons

of these Knights are still ordinary firearms, and A few heavy weapons.

This is mainly due to the consideration of the combat function of the Knights.

After all, they are only facing ordinary armed elements, not alien creatures

that can eliminate 9mm caliber bullets.

According to the plan discussed by Chen Xin and various autonomous cities, a

knight group will be responsible for maintaining the order of three to five

autonomous cities based on the city's scale. The main thing it needs to face

is armed elements with a certain amount of force.

Since it is fighting against people, of course, heavy weapons such as

electromagnetic rifles and heavy machine guns are not needed.

The main reason for leaving them with some heavy weapons is to prepare for

emergencies. Usually these knights can only use ordinary firearms and throwing

explosives.

The expenses of the Knights are mainly provided by the cities they are

responsible for. These cities pay certain funds to the Knights on a regular

basis and are responsible for providing daily supplies. The Knights need to

maintain the peace and stability of these cities as much as possible.

With the Knight Order, a public security system composed of the Joint Security

Maintenance Force, the Autonomous Militia and the Knight Order has been

formed.

In this system, the joint security maintenance force is naturally the main

military force. With sophisticated weapons and equipment, they are responsible

for surrendering large-scale armed separatist forces, have good

maneuverability, and can be responsible for a considerable area.

It is not stationed in a certain city at ordinary times. Instead, it uses land

cruisers as a base and uses regular patrols as the main mode of activity.

The militia is the main force for maintaining public security in the city.

They are not equipped with weapons. They only have a small number of police

pistols and other light weapons. They are scattered in their respective

cities, doing the work of the former police, and are responsible for

maintaining city security.

As for the knights, they are a supplement between the two. They have a certain

amount of armed force, mainly as a supplement to the joint security

maintenance force.

After all, the joint security maintenance force is limited to the size of the

force and the way of action. Their main job is to clear and deal with the

larger-scale armed separatist forces, such as remote areas or smaller-scale

armed forces. It is obvious that they are of little use.

The Knights’ Order happens to be an effective supplement to the joint security

maintenance force. They can be stationed in a certain area for a long time,

and they can patrol the main cities and residential areas in the area, or even

be dispersed in multiple cities, and cooperate with the militia. It can

effectively maintain law and order in the area.

It is precisely because of this advantage that the plan to establish a knight

order has won the support of various autonomous cities.

Soon, several knights were established with the support of these autonomous

cities, which also effectively improved the local public security environment.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the security forces, the militia, and the

knights, the areas that were originally chaotic and severely armed have

quickly stabilized. The establishment of various autonomous cities has made a

large number of people and resources that were not officially controlled by

European countries. It was reused and became a powerful support to the

frontline.

After all, neither the European officials nor Chen Xin will allow such a large

force as an autonomous city to drift outside of this war against alien

creatures.

Although the officials of various countries cannot effectively control

autonomous cities, they can only pinch their noses to admit their existence,

but this does not mean that the officials of various countries really have no

way to use autonomous cities.

After all, is the original legal ruler of each country. If the officials of

the countries that control the armed forces of the army are really pressed,

there is no problem at all if they bite their teeth and mobilize the army to

stab the autonomous city to kill chickens and monkeys.

Therefore, as a price for the official recognition of urban autonomy by

various countries, each autonomous city needs to pay taxes to the officials of

each country to support the frontline battle against alien creatures.

Fortunately, each autonomous city also understands, UU reading www.

uukanshu.com's own birthday is largely dependent on the front line resisting

the attack of alien creatures, so there is no objection on this point.

Autonomous cities need to pay taxes to support the front lines, and the

Knights are no exception.

Although they cannot be regarded as an army, they are also military

organizations. Although these knights only accept the support of autonomous

cities and have no source of income themselves, they also need to pay taxes.

It’s just that what they need to pay is not the resources like autonomous

cities, but they need to send some people to directly participate in the

frontline operations.

The battle against alien creatures naturally requires dead people, so this way

of paying taxes is also called "blood tax".

According to the regulations, after the establishment of each knight group, a

quarter of the manpower needs to be sent to the front line to participate in

the battle against alien creatures every three months, and then a quarter of

the manpower will be sent for rotation after three months.

In this way, a knight order is basically equivalent to a year, everyone needs

to go to the front line to serve for three months.

Originally, Chen Xin and the officials of various countries thought that the

Knights would oppose this request, but they did not expect that after the

requirement to collect "blood tax" was passed on, the various Knights did not

show much resistance.
