Chapter Ninety-Five: Fort Clarion Garrison
When the news that Fort Clarion had been dropped by Lelouch overnight spread under the deliberate spread of the church, the whole of the heaven-given land, and indeed the whole of Middle-earth, boiled.
The common Terrans cheered for this, and the crowd gathered together, chanting Lelouch's name from side to side, while the nobles looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces did not know whether they wanted to cry or laugh.
And Elon, who was far away in the magic tower to recuperate from his injuries, was said to have been killed on the spot by the Lord of Mordor at the first time, and the second wave of troops that had originally been assembled to half of them began to reorganize, because their combat objectives had changed from White City to Horn Fort, and the scale of the number of people was further expanded, and the heavy equipment forged by the dwarves of the Sacred Mountain Range was greatly improved.
In fact, the Lord of Mordor was not angry that he wanted to attack the Horn Fort, in the eyes of the Lord of Mordor, although the Horn Fortress was extremely dangerous, but in the face of the absolute power of Mordor, with the war potential of the human race, it would not last long, what made the Lord really angry was the political factor, although the Lord himself did not know how the Horn Fortress was taken down overnight, but this undoubtedly gave a prominent example to other forces that were resisting or wanted to resist, and the Lord could almost foresee that it would not be long before there would be a large-scale riot under his rule。
And what the Lord of Mordor is angry about is the imminent riot this time.
Similarly, Lelouch was waiting for this uprising.
The final link in Lelouch's plan for the entire Battle of the White City is to cause a great rebellion and let all the forces that are not satisfied with Mordor's rule rise up against Mordor, which is not a lofty ideal for Lelouch, only because of this, he has another precious time to recuperate.
When Baicheng was still discussing the next step and the ownership of Fort Clarion, Lelouch had officially moved his base camp to Fort Clarifolia, and at the same time began to relocate the people of the Limburg Triangle, which had begun to be slightly crowded, to relocate more reasonably, and the few villages in the original territory began to conduct a population survey, so to speak, almost in an instant, Lelouch had already regarded this place as his sphere of influence, in fact, strictly speaking, the human race has six major realms, east, west, north and south, the central area of Baicheng, and the former Horn Fort garrison area。
It's just that with the fall of Fort Horn, the garrison area was selectively forgotten, and this forgotten land was noticed by Lelouch who made a plan at the beginning, in Lelouxiu's view, this place as a military industrial area of the human race, a fortress defense area, has an extremely important strategic value, and his land is also extremely fertile, after nearly a hundred years of abandonment or cultivation, the land here can almost be described as rich flowing oil.
In Lelouch's view, in addition to the small population, this place is simply a treasure of feng shui, and as for the population, with great fame and the church's dedicated assistance, Lelouch can foresee that his new territory will usher in the biggest population explosion in the short term, and even Lelouch has asked Al to go to the south to dig people, because the south is relatively stable, so the population density is extremely high, and the per capita cultivated area is quite small, as long as they can believe in their own safety, then the largest population migration in Middle-earth may be about to happen。
In recent years, in order to meet the imminent population explosion, Limburg has reserved a large number of materials, among which all kinds of grain and farming tools are the main reserves, and then it may be the plank resources of the model house, and the population that has become relatively dense can also provide a relatively objective team of workers.
Lelouch doesn't care about the ownership of Fort Horn that Baicheng is still discussing, he doesn't care about three seven twenty-one, first cook the raw rice into mature rice, and Lelouch doesn't believe that anyone in the nobles of Baicheng dares to take over Fort Clarifolia, you know, whoever takes over Fort Clarion means that he has to confront Mordor head-on, and those who have the ability to rely on Fort Clarion to confront it head-on, have little interest in Fort Clarifolia, those who are interested, but have no confidence to resist, plus the help he entrusted Richard, it is very likely that Fort Horn will finally be handed over to Lelouxiu as a compromise between the forces of all parties"Temporary storage".
And the situation in the White City is indeed going on according to Lelouch's vision, after two days and two nights of fighting, Lelouch has naturally become the new owner of Fort Hornhorn, although it is not explicitly mentioned, but even the entire garrison will also become Lelouch's territory, but in order to limit Lelouch, Lelouch's title is still only earl, and there is no duke, or even a grand duke.
However, Lelouch didn't care too much about these false names, in Lelouch's opinion, real strength is the most important, compared to the duke's false name, Lelouch cared more about the population he urgently needed, when it would arrive, in order to make up for his huge manpower gap as soon as possible, Lelouch even planned to send a newly formed legion to the depths of the sheltered mountains and various forests to forcibly capture those black households to fill the population.
Suddenly got such a large area of territory at this time Lu Luxiu realized what it means to use the time to hate less, further expansion of the army of VIPs, industrial areas to expand VIPs, the development of new territories, infrastructure construction VIPs, especially the scale of this infrastructure construction, is still very large, if you want to get rich first to build roads, there is no developed infrastructure, no matter how much it is empty talk.
"My lord, the preliminary data of the garrison has been sorted out. ”
Kennon, who had just been transferred to Fort Horn, reported to Lelouch with a thick circle of scrolls.
Lelouch's new office is in the top tower of Fort Clarifera, which is almost five hundred meters above the ground, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is sitting on a hill, and the scenery here is indeed good, the sun shines through the screen window, the bright hall is quiet with several guards knights, the marble floor is smooth and clean, the attendants walk in and out from time to time to pass Lelouch's orders, and Lelouch sits behind a large table, which is full of various scrolls, and Lelouch's hands are constantly writing and drawing on it.
The hall was quiet, and there was no superfluous sound except for the grinding of the tip of the pen against the paper.
"Well, let's talk about it. ”
Lelouch motioned for Kenon to continue, and Kenon reported:
"Our new territory is nearly 100,000 square kilometres, nearly two-thirds of the north, five dilapidated cities, seven castles, and nearly a hundred registered villages, but I estimate that there may be less than fifteen people at the moment, and as for the population, it is expected to be no more than 30,000 people. ”
Kennon's report made Lelouch frown slightly, although he had prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, to be honest, 30,000 people seems like a lot, but if you really use it, you will not even bubble up when you sprinkle it on the vast land.
Lelouch motioned for Canon to continue:
"In terms of materials, although the territory can almost be said to be zero, but Fort Horn unexpectedly found a large number of materials, whether it is food, or weapons and equipment, the amount is very scary, food is expected to be enough to support the consumption of 200,000 people for three months, weapons and equipment can arm 50,000 people, I estimate that Mordor in order to supply the nearest supplies. ”
The seizure of materials made Lelouch frown slightly, although he also had much more food than this, but the weapons and equipment of the 50,000 people made his eyes shine, the weapons and equipment of Limburg were extremely demanding of quality, so the manufacturing speed was not particularly fast, and only under the guarantee of industrialization and assembly lines could he meet his military needs, although these 50,000 pieces of iron armor could not be looked down upon, but it was a good favor.
"Well, all of that food can be used to give relief to the new immigrants, and we are not short of food at the moment, so it doesn't hurt to be generous, and the 50,000 pieces of equipment, give me all of them to Grand Duke Richard, they just fought a big war, and this batch of materials will greatly enrich their strength. ”
Kenon quickly jotted down Lelouch's arrangement, expressed his understanding, and then continued:
"After we counted our own materials, we formulated the next development policy according to the main line you proposed. ”
This so-called development policy is actually somewhat similar to China's five-year development plan during the Earth period, except that in this case, Lelouch shortened this plan to one to two years.
Kenon went on to say:
"According to the established main line, we will focus on population growth and migration in the next six months, for which we have prepared enough food and production tools to survive the development gap of this half year, and at the same time, in two months we will enter the winter, we will get more than 150,000 idle labor from Limburg, if it is not for the large amount of manpower for winter military training, our manpower is enough to reach 250,000. ”
When he said this, Kenong's tone was obviously with a hint of pride, yes, who would have thought that a small city with less than 5,000 people could develop to the current scale, and Lelouch's early development plan began to show his role, that is, such a large-scale employment, in the case of stopping agricultural production, can actually ensure sufficient material supply, although the main consumption is food and infrastructure tools, but it still shows Limburg's strong economic strength, and as the direct executor of all this, Kenon certainly has reason to be proud。
Lelouch also felt very happy and proud in his ears, this sense of accomplishment of construction, almost every leader can not resist the temptation, and there is no need to resist, Lelouch rarely satisfied picked up the water cup and drank a sip of water.
"Very good, keep talking!"
