"This is the way to integrate into the Byron Alliance, the way must be taken, the Andes and the Byron Alliance, the brothers born to a mother, have been separated for too long, no one remembers the intimate relationship between the two sides, hostility and rejection, it is the eternal habit of human beings, the general is here, I am afraid that he will be hostile and excluded by many parties, and I need to be fully psychologically prepared! ”

Before you know it, Lanxi Pear is once again immersed in the past glory of the ancient Andes Empire.

"I understand that I am mentally prepared. The corners of Sean's mouth curled slightly, revealing a standard eight-tooth smile.

The attitude of the Byronic towards the Andes, which he had fully learned a few years earlier, was not only hostility and rejection, but also a high servitude.

At that time, even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

But this time it was different, once again stepping foot on the land of the Manyu Army, he was no longer an individual, but the supreme commander of the Eternal Night Army, and behind him stood hundreds of thousands of Andes, and he would represent their face.

In this four-party meeting, although they are not the protagonists, the Eternal Night Group Army attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.

As I have said before, the strategic policy set by the Eternal Night Army is not a military invasion of the Byron Alliance, but economic plunder.

But economic plundering is only possible if the two sides establish stable diplomatic relations and reach friendly trade agreements.

Although there is an agreement between the Eternal Night Army and the regent Princess Sophia, it is a secret verbal agreement after all, and if it can't even meet the basic premise of the return of the Jacob River, the other party will not admit it at all.

Now not only have all the preconditions been met, but the princess regent has tasted the sweetness from the bilateral trade, and the goods exchanged from the hands of the Eternal Night Army do not even have to unload the ship, and they are all the way down the river and directly sent to the royal capital Valesta, such as honey, medicinal herbs, furs, ceramics, glass, canned fruits and other goods, all of which are selling hotly.

In particular, the dazzling ceramic glaze was highly sought after by lords and nobles.

This is thanks to the Witches' Secret Society, ceramics are exclusive to the Eternal Night Army, but glass is not.

The appearance of glass has a history of decades and has been recognized by the people of the Byron Union, especially the churches of the Holy See of St. Aether, who like to use colorful glass glass to show their uniqueness and luxury.

However, due to many reasons such as technology and transportation, the output of colored glass has not been large, and it is in short supply in the Byron Union.

As soon as they got started, they were facing a mature market, and with the current output of the Eternal Night Army, even the big market of the royal capital Valesta could not be filled in a short period of time, let alone other territories.

Ceramics are a free ride, and they are eye-catching enough, and those lords and nobles will use them as luxury goods in the most conspicuous position in order to show their taste.

That's right, until now, the positioning of ceramics is the same as glass, and it is a luxury that only people with value can afford.

It is simply not enough to reach the level of entering the daily necessities of thousands of households.

It's not a question of whether ordinary people can afford it, it's that the output is there.

This is also a certain degree of scarcity and preciousness.

The Eternal Night Army is building a new ceramics and glaze factory, and this time they are not eating alone, but a joint venture between Princess Sophia, Countess Angie Bena, and the Eternal Night Army.

One side contributes money and connections, one side provides coal mine resources and manpower, and one side provides technical and management guidance personnel.

This is the way in which the Eternal Night Group Army is using the method of equalizing interests to make the relationship between the two sides closer.

It is not possible to talk about giving profits or not giving profits, the Eternal Night Army itself does not produce coal mines, and the firing of ceramics and glass is a large coal consumer, so it must rely on the coal mines controlled by Countess Angie Bena at that time.

In these years, the cost of transportation is quite high, even with the Jacob River water transportation line, it can only reduce the transportation cost by one-third to one-half.

Rather than this, it is better to build the factory directly in the production area of the coal mine, all kinds of clay, sand and gravel, the quality of the Manyu military leader is no worse than the Andes Mountains, which were originally made by the mud brought out of the Andes Mountains.

In this way, the production cost is greatly reduced, the selling price remains unchanged, and the excess is naturally profit.

Princess Regent Sophia can't get around it, Sean of course knows that direct sales come in faster, but they don't have channels.

Not to mention whether the regent Princess Sophia is happy to let their merchant ships go directly into the hinterland of the royal domain of Lancelot, even if they do, it is still a question whether those Byronians recognize their goods, especially those lords and nobles.

Once you put up the banner of Princess Regent, it's different.

In these years, there is no power and money trading, the collusion between officials and businessmen, the royal power is supreme, and every grass and tree in the royal territory of Lancelot is the private property of the royal family, and Sophia has no need to harm her own people.

Therefore, in many cases, the royal family is an ironclad signboard, a guarantee of credibility.

In fact, not to mention the royal family and those grand duke families, even those small families that have been passed down for decades also pay great attention to family reputation, because this is the foundation for their family to continue to inherit and prosper.

A family with a flawed reputation will be spurned and ostracized, and no one will want to cooperate with him.

Of course, there is never a shortage of deception in the family, but it is only carried out in private and rarely put on the table.

Princess Regent invited Sean to attend the four-party meeting, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to turn the original private agreement into a superficial one.

The Eternal Night Army is also willing to facilitate this, because when the time comes, they will be transformed from outsiders to part of the Byronic League.

It's one thing for those Byronic people to recognize it or not, and it's another thing to have this big name or not.

When the time comes, it will be in their best interest to plot the swamp of despair.

In any case, this is a great thing of far-reaching significance for the Eternal Night Army.

For this reason, the Eternal Night Army mobilized a large number of troops, not only the Supreme Commander Sean himself, but also Andes Tiger, Tagore, Erikson and Ben Hebrew.

On the contrary, McGee, the important Skullcrusher, did not accompany him, but led his troops into the Twin Cities as a backup, and the forces of the Eternal Night Army were also gathering in the Twin Cities without a trace.

The Quartet is an ally that is about to conclude an alliance, and before the official convening of the meeting, a basic consensus has been reached in private, and the possibility of turning around and making a big move is almost zero.

But be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and of course you must be prepared for what you can prepare for the future.

What's more, things at the negotiating table often need military support.

If the Eternal Night Army didn't have three armies and twelve corps in their hands, the more good things they brought out, the more prying eyes they would attract, and the faster they would perish.

They no longer have an invitation to the Quadripartite Talks, but a letter of war before the full-scale invasion of Princess Sophia, the regent.

Sean had a clear understanding of this a long time ago, so even if they held a lot of good things in their hands at that time, they hid them and didn't dare to take them out to show off, for fear of causing death.

Now there are not so many scruples, the Eternal Night Group Army can now be called powerful, not only has enough force for self-protection, but also has enough strategic depth in the territory, with only one or two army leaders, it is difficult to shake their foundation.

Why do you say that there are twelve corps of the three armies?

In the past two years, the focus of the Eternal Night Group Army has been around the resumption of the Jacob River, but its development speed has not stagnated in the slightest.

With the explosion of the population base, of course, a new round of recruitment was carried out, and the Third Army Corps was established, so that the Eternal Night Group Army lived up to its name and entered a state of full strength.

At the same time, the Third Corps, which was stationed in the Northern Fortress, was transferred out to form the Northern Corps.

The particularity of the Northern Corps is not under the Skull Crushing Corps, and now the source of troops of the Eternal Night Group Army must be screened by them before it is the turn of the other corps.

In addition to the special personnel, because their main defensive direction is the steppe, they have a large number of war horses in their hands, and they are developing in the direction of the cavalry regiment.

What limits his strength now is the number of troops, and it is estimated that a second legion with an independent establishment will be established in the future.

The remaining two foreign legions are the old legions, the Skull Crusher McGee's Guards Skullcor Corps and the Independent Engineer Corps.

The Skull Crush Corps, because of the marriage with the Cliff Clan, has established a stable relationship, and the exchange of prisoners of war has been completed, with a relatively stable source of troops, and it has been fully established, as the heavy corps of the Eternal Night Group Army, the position of the first frontal combat capability is unshakable.

The Independent Engineer Corps was originally formed for the arduous task of restoring the Jacob River and blasting the barrage.

After the successful blasting of Barrage, it was not dismantled, but was reorganized into an independent demolition corps as a whole, continuing what they do best, researching black powder.

However, this time the research direction is not only mountain blasting, but how to apply it to the war, they already have a preliminary research direction, this is highly confidential information, except for a very small number of high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Group Army, the others don't even know where the independent demolition corps is stationed.

The Andes Mountains are so big, it's not easy to hide thousands of people.

Andes Tiger Rabindranath Tagore, Erickson, and Ben Hebrew have also completely joined the Eternal Night Army and have their own specific responsibilities.

After the further expansion of the Eternal Night Group Army, it is actually no longer appropriate to call General Sean, and now he is the supreme commander of the Eternal Night Group Army, but he no longer serves as a specific practice as before.

Having said that, he was originally a shopkeeper, only controlling the overall situation, not interfering in actual affairs, not so much that he was a general, but that it was more suitable to be a lord with the name of a general.

Since there has been no external title, Sean is unwilling to be called the king in the mountains, so there is no correct name, which will be one of the rare purposes for them to participate in the four-party meeting, to ask for a proper title from the princess regent, this two sides have basically reached a consensus in private, and it will be just a process when the time comes.

As a result of the breakdown of power, McGee the Skullcrusher was also the general of the First Legion, Andes the Tiger Rabindranath Tagore was the general of the Second Legion, and the Third Legion was formed by the former Chief of Military Staff Erikson.

During his mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe, Erickson fully demonstrated his ability and value, and the Eternal Night Army would no longer succumb to talent, and the vacated position of Chief of Staff was taken over by Ben Hebrew.

This position is really suitable for him to continue to shine, although it is airborne, but in terms of ability, there is no doubt about the Eternal Night Army from top to bottom.

It has to be said that a manager has a considerable influence on the style of a legion.

The three legions under the name of the Eternal Night Group Army can be called the three brothers of the same mother, no, to be more precise, it should be a copy divided into three, and the similarity is extremely high.

However, when they were divided into different corps commanders, in just two years, they began to develop their own unique style and culture, and the personality of the commander was quite similar.

McGee's First Legion, Needless to say, continues the style of the Cranial Crusher, paying great attention to the development and use of heavy infantry, many of them failed to enter the Skull Crusher Corps, but they were not too bad, and they were all stuffed into their own First Legion, the screening criteria of the two Corps are different, the Skull Crusher Corps is not qualified, and it is also a symbol of Hercules when it comes to the ordinary corps, and the only personnel of the heavy infantry.

In addition, McGee is a veteran of the Eternal Night Group Army, and he is thick-skinned, licking his face and running to the quartermaster department all day long, and he has the largest number of heavy armor in his own army.

Andis Tiger Tagore's second legion, under his influence, has a soft spot for all kinds of beasts, each guard has its own captivity of war beasts, among which tigers and bears are the majority, these war beasts are of course not ordinary beasts, but spell-like monsters produced by the Institute of Biological Anomaly.

They have formed a set of their own tactics around these monsters, which is not effective against hoplites like the First Legion, but against those cavalry, it is unexpected, it is one by one, which is actually verified by Tagore in the Kogel steppe.

When the military exercise first appeared last year, it attracted a lot of attention, which made many people very excited, among which the Northern Corps even sent a special team to exchange learning experience, after all, they have a natural advantage (the main base of the Institute of Biological Anomalies is in the Northern Fortress), and the enemy is mainly cavalry.

In this regard, it is a shame that they actually fell behind the Second Army.

It's not terrible to be embarrassed, but it's terrible to dare not admit it.

The Northern Corps did not have such bad habits, and they changed their mistakes and went against the current.

Compared with the First and Second Legions, Bull Eriksen did not do more tricks, but brought his stereotyped energy to the Third Army.

Stereotyped, most of the time a derogatory term.

But in the army, it is an out-and-out compliment.

Because it represents discipline, command, and prohibition.

He piled up the daily training of the Third Army to a terrible level, and when anything accumulates to a certain amount, a qualitative change occurs.

Among the three major army corps, when it comes to collective military literacy, the third army ranks first.

The four or five years of service as chief of staff left an indelible mark on him, which made him attach great importance to collective wisdom, not only paying attention to the training of officers at all levels of the Third Army Corps in military quality, but even setting up a corps-level staff department within himself to assist him in commanding.

Sean did not interfere with this kind of private sector matter.

As the supreme commander of the First Legion, this right should still be retained, and Sean also wants to see how far the other party can go.

The idea of the corps-level staff has long been there, but the talent reserve in the hands of the Eternal Night Group Army is not enough enough, and even if the general is pulled out in the army, it cannot be pulled out, and it is temporarily stranded.

It would also be a good thing if Bull Erickson could teach a group of qualified staff officers by hand.

Governing the army rigidly does not mean that Bull Erickson is rigid, if anyone dares to regard this as his character weakness, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

In general, the capabilities of the three legions are very complementary, and the combination of offense and defense has turned the Andes Mountains into a huge rock, as stable as a mountain.
