"Commander," Lei Zhen began cautiously after some thought. "Part of our military expenditure goes toward the soldiers' salaries."
"I know!" Luis replied, glancing at him with a smile. "Don't worry—I'll ensure the soldiers are paid in full."
In both the Izumo Province front line and the current Guang'an Prefecture coalition forces, monks who enlisted in the army received military pay.
However, there was a distinction: on the Izumo Province front line, military pay was issued as military merit, while in the Guang'an Prefecture coalition forces, it was distributed in the form of spirit stones.
Although the pay wasn't particularly high, with 100,000 soldiers in the Western Defense Zone, the total cost was staggering.
Still, the idea of embezzling military pay never crossed Luis' mind.
