Chapter 436: The military discusses the sword

In recent decades, although the ruling class of the Lancelot royal family has been turbulent, and the king and the regent have changed several times, the conflict has stayed at the top and there has been no large-scale war.

Counting them up, the biggest upheavals in the Byron Alliance in recent years are inextricably linked to the Eternal Night Leader.

First, the slave rebels led by the Manyu Army revolted, and then fought with the Kingsley family for the Swamp of Despair, with a total of more than 400,000 troops on both sides, which was already the largest armed conflict between the Byron League in the last ten years.

A relatively stable life will inevitably lead to a stage of explosive population growth.

There is no such thing as family planning in this world, and there is no Dink family.

The pursuit of bloodline continuity and family prosperity is the main tone of this era.

As long as the lord who is not in arrears of IQ knows that population means productivity, means military strength, means scientific research strength, is the basis of everything, and encourages fertility.

There is great power in numbers, and this saying is absolutely incomparably applicable in this era.

The leader of the Eternal Night Army used his thirteen years of development statistics to prove that on the continent of Ashan, it is not only Odin orcs who have good genes, as long as the food is rich, whether it is Andes or Byron, twins and even multiple births are not uncommon.

Taken together, the total population under the reign of the Lancelot royal family will not be less than 20 million, or even more.

The other military leaders of the Byron Alliance, although the population is not as explosive as the Lancelot royal family, there are always seven or eight million, and all of them are all over, and one Byron Alliance can go to 100 million.

The two major Odin empires in the east and west are limited by the structural system, and there is no such terrifying population base, but there are still tens of millions.

In comparison, the total population of four million under the command of the Eternal Night Army is really nothing.

But with these people, the value they create is quite terrifying.

The net profit of trade on the Jacob River has already topped the total tax revenue of a military leader of the Byron Union at its peak, and this is not all they have.

It's no wonder that in the past year, even in a state of war, the Eternal Night Commander still has the spare strength to support the Cliff Clan, and at the same time, it can also ensure that a large number of internal infrastructure projects are carried out.

The Eternal Night Leader has been able to go from the mountains to the present step by step, and it does have its own uniqueness.

It took three days to listen to the various reports alone.

It's boring, but for those who can listen, it's really insightful.

But these are all appetizers, and on the fourth day, when it comes to planning for the next year, the real thing is the main dish, and this is the time for the military staff to perform.

Kelman, the most energetic chief of staff, was the first to come on the field and said: "The latest information, everyone already has a copy, I believe that about the complex relationship between the two major Odin Empires and the Byron alliance in the east and west, I know how much I know, I won't say more here, a simple summary is that the West Odin Empire has produced a wise and powerful king, his purpose is to create the glory that his grandfather has not created, and to restore the unity of the Odin Empire, but under the banner of the Tiger King."

However, the orthodox royal court of the Odin Empire, the lion royal court, did not give strength here, and the internal struggle for power and profit was fierce, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.

And the Byron alliance will not sit idly by in this situation, at least the Lancelot royal family and the Strachrich family will not sit idly by, once the Odin Empire is reunited, under the leadership of a wise king, it will be them who will have the most difficult time at that time.

Therefore, the West Odin Empire will inevitably start a war against the East Odin Empire, and the Byron Alliance will mess up in the back, stabbing the knife of the West Odin Empire, so that they have no way to successfully complete the unification, as for when to start the war, how the Byron Alliance will stab the knife, everything is in a pending state.

These are not the most important things, the things we need to analyze are, the impact of this matter on us, what actions should we take to maximize our interests?"

Andis Tiger Tagore, who had been in a drowsy state for the past three days, suddenly came to his senses, and said with wide eyes: "Could it be that the Military Staff has a plan to participate in the internal war of the two Odin Empires?"

"General Tagore thinks too much, just our little arms and legs, it's good if people don't trouble us, even if we want to participate in the war, we have to be able to draw troops!" said Chief of Staff Kelman.

"Since we don't participate in the war, how can we make profits? Could it be that people take the initiative to deliver food to our house? "General Tagore was disappointed.

"It is not necessary to wage war in order to make profits, and the sharpness of commercial and commercial methods is not bad at all. Chief of Staff Kelman said with a smile, "It is no longer advisable to send a caravan directly to the Odin steppe, but the lord has just opened the line of Archduke Cedric, and there will be a mutual market with the help of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, and our goods can be transported directly down the river, and then transported to the border line through the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, so as to flow into the Odin savannah, because the safety factor has increased significantly, and the profits have also risen." ”

"I'm afraid this is just a small head!" General Erikson asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's right. Kelman nodded and said, "This is not our main topic today, this war is somewhat too far away for us, and we can't do anything until the situation is clear, but in the direction of the Kogel steppe, we can breathe a sigh of relief, focus our main energy on other directions, and solve our internal problems first." ”

When it came to this, whether it was the high-ranking of the crocodile clan, or Locke and Yale of the Cliff clan, they were all in good spirits and showed a look of listening, because most of the internal problems of the Eternal Night Army Leader were closely related to them.

Chief of Staff Kelman adjusted everyone's appetite, and then said: "Our military staff department has specifically summarized the relatively large points in the use of troops in the coming year, if you have any questions or want to add, you can interrupt me at any time, we are only here to discuss, not to announce the strategic plan."

The first point is the matter of stationing the border line of the Desperate Swamp, and it is obviously too wasteful to station the main combat corps here for a long time, and we propose to formally prepare for the establishment of a local garrison corps this year, in addition to being used for garrisoning the border line, it can also assist the nearby towns in public security management, and assist the main army in operations when necessary. ”

"This should really be put on the agenda, now that the territory is so big, our main army alone is a bit stretched. General Erickson nodded in agreement, "But the source of troops is a problem, and all the elites of the right age can be screened into the main corps." ”

It is true that the Eternal Night Commander now has a total population of more than 4 million, but the age is very young, and nearly a million of them were born and raised in the last ten years after their lives were stable.

In the future, they will definitely be the backbone of the Eternal Night Army, but now they need them to spend energy to raise them, at least for five or six years.

"On the one hand, the generals are pulled out, and on the other hand, the restrictions on women's participation in the army are further relaxed, at least the restrictions on local garrison corps, after all, their main task is to maintain law and order and vigilance, and General Erickson cannot measure them by the standard of measuring the main corps, if that is the case, they will not be called the local garrison corps, but directly the Third Army. Chief of Staff Kelman replied.

"It's that I'm thinking too much, so go on with the Chief of Staff. General Erickson said he had no doubts.

"If there are no other problems, I will continue, the local garrison corps involves a lot of things, and when it is really formed, we will come up with a more detailed plan, and it is not the focus of our discussion today, but the focus of our discussion today is on the latter two points.

The second point is the problem of the Klein tribe, it is now a cancer, if it is not completely eradicated, we will always have a group army force involved by him, but the special situation of this tribe, everyone is very clear, there is no way to fight a tough battle, otherwise even if we eat them, we will suffer heavy losses.

But after the wave of defensive battles in Brother Port, the wisdom of these guys has obviously escalated again, and now they not only ignore our lure tactics, but also shrink as a whole, not only do they not continue to expand outward, but even the original territory has given up most of it, gathering together, so that we have nothing to do at all.

The third point is the issue of the Cliff Clan, and I think the chief of staff of Ben Hebrew has more say than I do, so let him speak!" Kelman handed over the voice to Ben Hebrew.

This powerful person, who once had a name and surname among the Andes, seemed to have fully adapted to his current role, and after everyone's eyes turned to him, he said unhurriedly: "The situation on the side of the Cliff Clan is a bit complicated, not only is the invasion of the enemy special, but the reason for the invasion of the enemy is also very special.

The individual combat power of the Kentana barbarians is more terrifying than ordinary people can imagine, every adult Kentana barbarian soldier has the strength of a pseudo-big knight, on average there is a big knight in every ten people, and there is a champion knight in every hundred people, the most terrifying thing is that their physical limit is different from that of ordinary people, in the same level, their strength has a rolling advantage, and a mountain Kentana barbarian who activates double great power can barely compete with the other party.

The opponent against them at the same level, if you have enough space, you can rely on skill and speed to barely hold them down, once they are forced into a corner, they will face naked rolling.

The reason why the Cliff Clan can carry it for so long is not that their strength is strong enough, but that these Kentana barbarians are used to being scattered, lack a strong voice, and do not form a large-scale army, otherwise it is not a difficult thing for them to break up the Cliff Clan, and please don't misunderstand Patriarch Locke and General Yale, I have no intention of slandering your clan's combat effectiveness, after all, we have personally fought each other, and we have a good idea of the strength of both sides, just use this for comparison. ”

Yale snorted and didn't say anything.

Locke, the patriarch of the Cliff Clan, said generously: "The Chief of Staff is too worried, the situation you said is a fact, we have no reason to deny the facts, and besides, our self-esteem is not so fragile, the Chief of Staff can be honest, otherwise because of the wrong intelligence, it will cause a wrong judgment, and it will not be a good thing for our Cliff Clan." ”

"Patriarch Locke could best figure this out. Ben Hebrew nodded at Patriarch Locke and continued: "The Kentana barbarians have not formed a collective and organized a strong army now, it is because they can obtain enough living resources by themselves, and once we are fully involved, the situation will be difficult to say.

Because they attacked the territory of the Cliff Clan, not because they coveted the output here, but because the climate on the Kentana Ice Sheet was abnormal, and the large-scale sea hunting time they relied on for survival was shortened, and they could not maintain their living needs for a year, we drove them back to the Kentana Ice Field, which is equivalent to driving them back to death, they will inevitably resist desperately, huddle together to keep warm is the instinct of all creatures, when they face a personal inability to solve the crisis, they will naturally and unnaturally gather together, and then it is not only a question of whether we can drive them out, but whether we can resist his joint counterattack!”

"Not for the sake of territory, but for survival? Then why don't you support us crocodiles in the first place, give them some food, help them tide over the current crisis, and then they will retreat on their own?" Bishop asked suspiciously.

The Eternal Night Army Leader used the means of softening people with interests, but they had personally understood it, and it was sharp one by one, and before they knew it, they pulled the hearts of their own people to their side.

"I'm sorry to forget that this is the first time you've attended such a military conference, and you don't know all that well about the state of the barbarians in Kentana. The chief of staff of Ben Hebrew took the initiative to apologize, "This method, we have discussed before, but it was vetoed.

On the one hand, it is because the living customs of the barbarians of Kentana are very different from ours, they are an out-and-out powerful society, and it is easy for them to understand that they are weak and can be bullied, and they may become more demanding.

On the other hand, the Kentana barbarians gathered here are only a part, and once they do this, it is likely that they will attract all the barbarians on the entire Kentana Ice Field, and some of them will already make us scathed. ”

"I see. Grand Elder Bishop nodded, "It's me who thinks things are too simple, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff continues. ”

"So, here is to pacify but not to appease, to fight or not, can only be delayed and stalemate. "I'm also running out of skills and can't think of a better solution, and I hope to use this military meeting to brainstorm and see if there are any better opinions." ”

"Among these two issues, the issue of the Klein tribe can be put aside for the time being, and these monsters that cannot be measured by common sense, it is not advisable to fight hard, we must make full use of the advantages of technology to weaken and attack them, this arsenal has been thinking of a way, and after the test results over there come out, it will not be too late to discuss. ”

Sean, who had been listening, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said.

"The two main leaders of the Cliff Clan are also here today, let's focus on the third issue to discuss and see if there is an effective solution? It's not good for us to always drag it out like this, and it's not good for the Cliff Clan, after all, this is a bleeding sore.

According to the intelligence we have collected, in the last year alone, the Cliff Clan has lost 723 clan warriors, and the entire Cliff Clan is only 100,000 people, and the clan warriors are only 10,000 and a half. ”

Sean's last few words were obviously directed at Locke and Yale, the two leaders of the Cliff Clan, and everyone's eyes in the conference room fell on the two.

After waiting for three days, the matter is finally coming, but at this moment, Daddy Locke's state of mind is extremely calm, and he looked back at Sean and said: "What the lord said is completely true, I don't know if the lord has any good opinions?"

Branne, the other main chief of staff, wanted to speak, but was preempted by Sean a step ahead, "Patriarch Locke is a smart person, let's open the skylight and speak brightly, our assistance to the Cliff Clan is not bottomless, the reason why we assisted you in the past was to need you as a barrier, between us and the Kentana barbarians, to prevent them from directly attacking our territory, and now the renovation of our defense system is nearing completion, I am afraid that we will not be able to continue to provide assistance to you this year." ”

"You're crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Yale stood up abruptly, staring at Sean with wide eyes.

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" Just now Sean preempted what he should have said, this time Bran's main chief of staff didn't dare to slack off, and took the initiative to jump out to block the sword, "General Yale's accusation is too heavy?" It's also too nonsensical, we are neither subordinate nor allies, at best we use each other, we provide assistance to you, you help me block the Kentana barbarians, this is something that both sides know, now we don't need it, withdraw the aid, that's also a matter of course, everyone is rational and intelligent, don't come out with too naïve reasons to make jokes. ”

"You ......" Yale's face turned red angrily, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, in terms of sophistry ability, ten of him were tied up, and he was not the opponent of Brann alone.
