To put it bluntly, the Eternal Night Army was successfully diverted this time, and the credit for the Eternal Night soldiers who led the escort on the front line was only thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent was on these obscure administrators led by Marshall.

Without them, the soldiers of the Eternal Night would not have been able to bring even a single mountain dweller to their destination.

For a rainy day.

It is a fine style formed by the Yongye Group Army from the beginning of its establishment.

In particular, food shortages are a major matter that involves the foundation of oneself.

Not to mention the two-month food shortage, as a force, if it does not have three or two years of grain reserves in its hands, it will not be considered a success, and it will be difficult to have a sense of security.

Because no one knows what the harvest will be in the next few years, once there is a famine.

In the case of a serious shortage of food, it is difficult for even the Eternal Night Army to pat its chest and say that it can survive.

Since the establishment of the Eternal Night Army, it is now in its fourth year, but there has never been enough food in its hands.

It's not that the year is too bad and the harvest is too small.

When it comes to the output of these years, it is not comparable with the fertile plains of Asia Minor, but it is not comparable to that of other military leaders, and it is absolutely worthy of a bumper harvest.

However, the speed of development and merger of the Eternal Night Group Army is even faster and frightening, and it is no longer one step a year, but four or five steps at a time.

The steps are big, and it is easy to pull the eggs.

This time against the mountain Kentana barbarians fought back in self-defense, and this was the case with the annexation of the Walled City Alliance.

But let them choose again, and they still do it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they don't take the opportunity to take down the Walled City Alliance, they will only face a more troublesome situation.

Once he breathed his breath, the old fox of Ben Hebrew was definitely not so easy to succumb.

If you can't breathe down, the refugees who were directly forced to a dead end by Sishui City will collapse, and the Eternal Night Group Army will have to come forward to clean up the mess.

"Two months, not too long, hunger used to be a common thing, now the people have more surplus food in their hands, it's really not good, implement that, the military rationing system, everyone tighten their belts together, and it's over, it's like this before. McGee, the skull crusher, patted his belly with a big grin and said, "You see, there is a lot of oil and water now, let alone two or three months, even if it is half a year, it may not be able to squeeze it dry." ”

This speech caused the high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Group Army present to roll their eyes, this guy is a good hand at fighting, and once it comes to this kind of people's livelihood problem, he is a vegetable melon.

It's just that this Mr. Caigua has no consciousness at all, and he will speak enthusiastically every time.

Every time it is refuted as a negative statement, I still enjoy it, and this time it is the same.

It's almost four years since the establishment of the Eternal Night Group Army, and it's a hell of a person who eats a big pot of rice in the village when he eats in the village.

"The rationing system for officers, unless the dead people are exterminated, it must not be easily activated, the food and property in the hands of the people are all saved by their hard work, bit by bit, they are the property that has been taxed to us and is protected by the law, if we collect it casually, what is the use of the laws we have formulated? Where is our credibility? Why should those who receive civil affairs believe us again?"

At this kind of meeting, Chade, the head of the Military Procuratorate, who easily did not speak, spoke as soon as he spoke, and his expression was as solemn as he could: "Adjutant General McGee, your thinking is very dangerous, and you must correct it in time, otherwise once you make a mistake, it will shake the foundation of the Eternal Night Army." ”

"Huh?" McGee was a little dumbfounded, he was usually scolded in this kind of meeting, which was a common thing, and he had long been used to it.

In his own words, among a group of smart people, there are always one or two stupid people with an active atmosphere, since they don't want to be this stupid, he did a good job, anyway, he knows that he is straightforward and fast-talking, and he speaks without brain, but he didn't expect that this time it seemed to touch a sensitive part and was put on the line.

Finally, he touched his bare head: "I'm just a proposal, if it doesn't work, forget it, didn't you say brainstorming?"

"I'm just reminding Your Excellency the Adjutant General of the dangers of this proposal to prevent mistakes in the future. Chad also knew that the other party was a mess, said it on the front foot, forgot it on the back foot, and did not entangle with him on this issue, "Although the division of labor is different, I always believe that in this kind of thing, throttling is only one aspect, and open source is the most correct solution." ”

"That's right, the situation we are facing now is nothing more than two means of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, this part of throttling, I have drafted a draft in my hand, everyone circulate it, let's see what needs to be supplemented, food is different from the capital budget, it is not just a piece of cut, reduce the efficiency and carry it, therefore, throttling this piece, it is difficult to have a big discrepancy, if you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing, right? Soldiers are our basic guarantee, and it is our obligation to feed their stomachs. ”

Marshall was obviously prepared before the meeting, and while handing over the draft he drafted to everyone for circulation, he said: "So, the focus of our discussion today is open source, I will start first, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and rely on the water to draft the water, the mountain has raised us for so many years, this time I have to rely on her again to help us solve some difficulties." ”

Marshall paused slightly: "Last year's rat and rabbit infestation, although it caused a certain reduction in food production, but it is also a good source of meat supply, this year I am afraid that it will not stop, we should sum up last year's experience, the whole people mobilize, especially those energetic half-sized children." ”

"They catch birds and dig rat holes, are a good hand, in recent years, a lot of digging rat holes fried nuts, followed by a small fortune, a fat flow of oil, but there is no organization and no discipline, after all, it is a small fight, last year we neglected them, this year we paid attention to them, sent people to organize them, divided the land of the set and swept the rat hole, this matter, if they are used well, maybe they can top half of the main force, not only to maximize the harvest, maybe it can also suppress the rat and rabbit infestation. ”

"I think this is a good idea, those half-sized children, full of energy, do this kind of thing, the most suitable, not only can they make some gains, but also train them, in one fell swoop, this matter is worth advocating, after everyone goes back, send those old hunters, take these baby soldiers, and do a big job." Sean complimented with a smile.

"After talking about the mountain, let's talk about the water, before we relied on the inland lake, this treasure land, has not been able to make full use of it, because we do not have a boat in our hands, now not only the boat has it, the boatman also has it, we have to make full use of it, not the fishermen's kind of petty fight, we have to pull a big net, pull fish on the lake. Marshall said with a heavy fist swing.

In the self-defense counterattack against the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains, the Eternal Night Army had another big gain.

That's the dockyard and the ships of Gegild.

Sishui City is half by the mountains and half by the water, so many years, there are not a few large and small fishing boats accumulated in his hands, when the Ben Hebrew dove occupied the magpie's nest, he failed to take all the most valuable ships in Sishui City, and more than half of them were taken away by Gegild.

It was with them that Gegild brought in the Cliff Clan warriors from the East Gap.

In the self-defense counterattack, the Eternal Night Army specially dispatched half of the corps to raid Gegild's lair, capturing them all, and nearly 400 large and small fishing boats.

As for the boatmen, there are no skilled hands in the Eternal Night Army, but among those war refugees, they were all intercepted in the process of diversion, and they are not only the main fishing force of the Eternal Night Group Army in the future, but also the main force of the formation of the naval army.

Now that preparations and training are underway, the arsenal is also rushing to make fishing nets, and the surface of the lake is thawing in the spring, and the Yongye Group Army is preparing to pull fish on a large scale.

The Andes mountain people, led by Sishuizhai, have relied on the Andes inland to survive for many years, but with the backward fishing technology they have mastered, the use of the Andes inland lake is quite limited.

Sean once personally inspected, not to mention artificial fishing, even ducks and geese do not know free-range waterfowl, and the fish and shrimp in the water are even more terrifying, and they are often a person's length.

The soldiers of the First Corps of the First Corps stationed here had nothing to do with fishing, and the various fish they harvested were more than enough to feed their own corps.

In the past, there were no tools, but now that there are tools, the Eternal Night Group Army naturally has to vigorously develop them.

The use of the Andes inland lake by the Andes mountain people is limited, and the biggest factor is because of the tools, ordinary fishing nets in front of those big fish, but some of them are not enough to see, and they will be torn up at every turn.

The Eternal Night Army has an innate advantage in this, they are already very proficient in the use of bird-catching spider silk, and they are integrated into the fishing nets, even if they are mutated bosses such as the Octagonal Bull and the Razor Boar, they are all deflated.

The anesthetic applied to it is important, but the fact that the traps are strong enough is also one thing.

As for whether the large-scale pulling of fish will cause devastating damage to the ecosystem of Andes Inland Lake.

Sean didn't have any worries about this at all, compared to the Andes Inland Lake, which occupies one-third of the Andes Crater, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people in the Eternal Night Army, and even the hundreds of thousands of people in the Walled City Alliance, it is impossible to eat the Andes Inland Lake.

Even with the means of the Eternal Night Army, the use of Andes Inland Lake at that time was less than one percent.

What's more, once the Spring Thunder Project is activated, most of the creatures in Andes's inland lake will be downstream, and if they don't make full use of it now, they will be cheaper for those Byrons downstream.

This entry will not only alleviate the food crisis of part of the Eternal Night Army, but also make the nutrition on their table more comprehensive.

The catch was only incidental, and what the Eternal Night Army valued most was the small dock and the shipbuilders inside.

In the Spring Thunder Plan, ships are an indispensable link.

After the resumption of the Jacob River, the Andes Crater was directly connected to the plains of Asia Minor, and went upstream, directly into the Andes Inland Lake.

At that time, the imperial capital of the ancient Andes Empire was located in the Andes Crater, why was it still able to control the entire territory of Ashan?

The two rivers have contributed a lot.

One is the Jacob River, which leads directly to the plains of Asia Minor, and the other is the Desperate Nu River, which leads to the Swamp of Despair, which was naturally not called that at the time.

The origin of the two great rivers is the Andes Inland Lake, they are like the two major arteries of the ancient Andes Empire, down the river, the army of the ancient Andes Empire, can appear in most of the prosperous areas of the empire in just a few weeks.

When the time comes, whether it is to defend against the peeps of the Byron Alliance, or to plot the swamp of despair, to look up or collude with the plains of Asia Minor, to trade, naval ships, are indispensable.

Especially the conspiracy despair swamp, the environment here, for a short time, is still the water environment as the theme, and the role of the ship is far greater than that of the war horse.

One of the things Sean meets with Princess Regent Sophia is that it requires a large number of shipbuilders.

Of course, at that time, it was not only for the Spring Thunder Plan, but also for the preparation for the attack on Sishui City.

If you want to plot the Four Waters City, you can't do it without the cooperation of the water army.

The world is unpredictable.

A sudden invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians had such a great impact on the Andes Mountains and the Army of the Eternal Night.

Not only has the Walled City Alliance become the bag of the Eternal Night Army, but the internal supply and demand of the Eternal Night Army has also changed.

Originally, the most urgent thing for the Eternal Night Group Army was excellent shipbuilders, and the grain was not so urgent because of the bumper harvest of the Eternal Night Group Army for two consecutive years, and it could be slowly figured out.

Now it's completely upside down.

In addition to the captured docks and ships of Gegild, there was no shortage of shipbuilders and fishermen in the city of Four Waters.

The dockyard in Gegild was only a small dock, and it was not enough to make small fishing boats, large merchant ships and warships.

However, the Eternal Night Army did not plan to eat a fat man in one bite, and even if Sophia asked for a shipbuilder, it was used to prepare wood in advance.

Now it's not so urgent, the craftsmen in the dockyard are enough to do the job.

As long as the timber is ready, it only takes a few master craftsmen who are proficient in building large ships to start work directly.

Moreover, the Eternal Night Army has never been in the habit of relying entirely on others, whether it is looking for Sophia to ask for shipbuilders, or the shipbuilders who took over from Gegild, they are at most playing the role of teachers, and when the time comes, the main force of construction must be the subsidiary engineer regiment of the Eternal Night Army.

I believe that with the quality of the Engineer Regiment attached to the Eternal Night Group Army, it will not take two years to hollow out the skills in their hands, and the rest will be better than the blue.

The kind of shipyard that is pure handicraft workshop is not looked down upon by the Eternal Night Army, and the large shipyard that makes full use of various tools is their ultimate pursuit.

In fact, the water saw technology of the Eternal Night Army is very mature.

A water saw factory operated by more than a dozen people, rotating 24 hours a day, cutting timber at a speed that is enough for half of the attached engineering regiment to pull the saws day and night.

"The catch does solve some of the problem, but the mountain roads are rough and difficult to navigate, and before they can be transported, they stink, especially in the northern forts. ”

Erikson, chief of the military staff of the Military Staff, said.

"We didn't have a plan in the north before, because the Walled City Alliance has attracted too many of our troops, and now the threat is greatly reduced, can we take advantage of the mobility? Find some wild food subsidies from the Kogel grassland? If the northern fortress can solve its own supply problem nearby, our logistical supply pressure will be reduced by a large part. ”

Although Eriksen was born from the Odin orcs, he was not merciful when he counted those Odin orcs.

In addition to the concept of loyalty to an object, it is necessary to share the worries of the object of allegiance.

The relative division within the Odin orcs also has a lot to do with it, in addition to the opposition between the Eastern and Western Odin Empires, conflicts within the empire and between tribes are also commonplace.

On the Kogel grassland, the three tribes of silver wolves, evil wolves, and gray wolves, fighting to the death and swallowing each other, are the best examples.

This is a common problem of nomads.

Typical land is vast and sparsely populated, many times, riding a horse for half a day, you may not see half a figure, running from south to north, even if you don't get lost, you have to run for months.

Their royal court is in a state of constant movement again, and after many tribes have conflicts, if they want to find a royal court ruling, they have to go back and forth, and several years have passed, and the daylily is late in three autumns.

Back and forth, only when the two sides can't hold on, will they find the royal court, if they can solve it with their own swords, they will solve it themselves.

At that time, even if the royal court knew, at most it would punish them for some cattle and sheep.

The contradictions between the tribes can still be reconciled, and the contradictions between the Eastern and Western Odin Empires are basically impossible to reconcile.

The two sides not only fought over the pasture, but also belonged to the two royal courts, and the fight was even more fierce.

And Erikson was born in the West Odin Empire, and he only has hatred for the East Odin Empire, no good feelings, no advice, and no psychological burden.
