Renard deliberately rode very slowly, waiting for Heidi to send someone to chase him back, but he waited for Robertson.

Robertson smiled bitterly: "Thanks to you, I have completely offended several housewives this time." ”

Then he began to complain, saying how hard he had worked in the past few days when Lei Ye was away, and how he had said good things for him just now.

After listening to him babbling for a long time, Renard asked, "Ten days ago, I asked the army to assemble, how is the situation now?" ”

Seeing that he was down to business, Robertson hurriedly straightened his attitude and replied: "The First Firearms Regiment, the First Cavalry Regiment, the First Infantry Regiment, the Second Infantry Regiment, and the Third Infantry Regiment have been assembled and can enter the battle state at any time. ”

"The Second Cavalry Corps has fully taken over the defense work of Nanhuang County, and the Second Firearms Corps, the Third Cavalry Corps, and the Fourth Infantry Corps are cooperating with the Second Firearms Corps, the Third Cavalry Corps, and the Fourth Infantry Corps. ”

"Militias were also formed in the villages, towns and cities, supervised by reservists, to ensure that there would be no problems with the territory during the expedition. ”

Renard listened to his report, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "During my absence, how are the several new armies formed, and is there any progress?" ”

Hearing this, Robertson showed a smug look on his face: "Because there are many people who have signed up to join the army, and the firearms corps has very low requirements for personal strength, so there are now two divisions that are fully established, and it is estimated that it will be able to become an army in two months." ”

"The people are all carefully selected by General Ray Dawang, and although the progress is a little fast, there should be no problem in terms of quality. ”

"The Third Cavalry Regiment has only recruited two regiments at present, and the cavalry regiment has high requirements for individual strength, which is already considered fast. ”

"The Fourth Infantry Corps is currently two divisions full, and it is estimated that it will be able to form an army in another half a year. ”

Renard looked at the other party in surprise when he heard this, and asked, "Why is it so fast, I remember that before leaving, there were only three regiments full, and in just over half a month, three regiments popped out of thin air?"

The firearms army does not require any personal strength, and the speed of recruitment is reasonable.

However, infantry has requirements for personal strength, at least low-level martial artists, how can it be possible to recruit three regiments in just twenty days?

You know, that's more than 2,000 people, not more than 2,000 cabbages.

Renard's expression suddenly became serious: "Are they going to catch the strong man?"

As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail.

Now there are frequent demonic disasters, and when you are a soldier, you have to go to the battlefield, and you have to fight with the devil, even if the army is treated well, after all, it is not as important as your own life, so there are not many people who join the army.

After strict screening, it is already the limit to be able to recruit 300 people per month to enlist in the army.

Now that the Second Firearms Legion is recruiting, and the Third Cavalry Legion is also recruiting, how can you let the Fourth Infantry Legion snatch so many people?

After eliminating all the impossibilities, there is only one answer: someone has violated the ban and caught the strong man.

In fact, it is not uncommon to catch strong men, for example, when two lords fight, they always have to catch some farmers to make up the number.

However, this kind of behavior is absolutely forbidden in Southern Wilderness County, and Renard wants elite soldiers, not a number of garbage.

Seeing that Lei Ye was angry, Robertson hurriedly denied it: "Your Excellency the Governor is angry, and no one has arrested the strong man." ”

When Renard heard this, his anger decreased slightly, and he asked with a cold face, "What the hell is going on, where did these soldiers come from?"

Robertson hurriedly explained, "Do you remember the Navy without an end in port?"

Reynard was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head: "Damn, if you don't say that I almost forgot about them." ”

After the 3,000 navy was captured, they were put in the hands of the Terminating Harbor, where Duke Edmund's army and Cumberland's 3rd Infantry Division took over the defense.

Because Nanhuang County had just been unified, people's hearts were unstable, and Lei Ye was busy expanding the army, so he forgot about these people.

Renard asked, "Are you saying that these three infantry regiments were formed by the Royal Navy?"

Robertson nodded: "You let Rear Admiral Cumberland lead troops to garrison Endless Harbor, and at the same time reorganize the navy." ”

As a result, after he went, he found that these people had no experience in sea warfare at all, and even many of them did not know how to water, and they had been training for more than half a year, with little success. ”

"Not long after you left, Rear Admiral Cumberland reported the matter to Mrs. Heidi, and he meant that instead of wasting time on this waste, it would be better to rebuild a navy. ”

“

Mrs. Heidi accepted this suggestion and incorporated the navy into the new army, more than two thousand of whom went to the Fourth Infantry Regiment. ”

"Now the recruiting department is recruiting skilled sailors and captains to prepare for the reformation of the navy, because of the good salary, in just two weeks there have been 474 people officially enlisted, and nearly 1,000 are being investigated and evaluated. ”

Hearing this, Renard finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, but a new question was placed in front of him: "How many warships are available in Endless Harbor now?"

Robertson had long known his work well, and replied: "Not much, the original battleships of the navy have been in disrepair for a long time and have long been unusable, and now only six small ironclad ships are still in normal use." ”

"However, this kind of ironclad ship can only sail in the coastal waters, and it is okay to deter pirates, if it really fights, I am afraid it will not take any advantage. ”

"In addition to these six ironclad ships, there are also some seized smuggling ships, these smuggling ships are not bad in combat, they can sail far, but they can only deal with the pirates of the guys. ”

Is that so? Renard rubbed his eyes and felt that things were very tricky.

As a modern man, he clearly knows the importance of sea power, if he does not have a strong navy, then the entire southern coast of Arthur's kingdom will be the world of pirates.

In the past, the navy and pirates were in tandem, and the two sides were able to get along peacefully.

Now that the navy has been scattered and the pirates have no place to settle down and supplies, they will definitely make trouble.

After thinking about it, Lei Ye said: "You go to Lady Julia now and ask her if she can buy some warships from the Principality of Fitli, the number does not need to be too much, ten is enough, preferably a fast ship used to exterminate pirates." ”

Robertson nodded yes at once, then turned around and flew back towards the City of Plenty.

When the other party walked away, Renard still frowned, there were too many things for him to deal with now.

The Northern Expedition to Kale County was imperative, the recruitment of new troops could not be stopped, and the rebuilding of the navy was a top priority.

Heidi couldn't count on him, after all, the other party's work was more complicated than his.

Renard sighed, and suddenly remembered Sylvia, who was far away in the royal capital, if the other party was there, with her mind and intelligence, she should be able to help herself a lot.

Thinking about it, Meredith City came into view.
