Prince William, the Governor of the Northwest Province, who sat in the four northwestern provinces, had the support of the Imperial Minister of War, Duke Cullen, and the military superiority of the Northwest Governorate was not possessed by the other major Governors.

The twelve standing legions in the battle sequence of the Viceroyalty in the Northwest were also assigned to the four Overseers, two of whom were newly promoted, two of whom were the confidants of Prince William, and two of whom were the generals of the army who had been trained and promoted by the Duke of Cullen.

General Clovis, who had been a confidant of Prince William since Bai Feng was the wing commander, and after a year and a half in the position of commander of the 38th Legion, he took his 38th Legion to the Northwest Metropolitan Mansion and became one of the four major overseers of the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Among the four legions under the command of the Clovis Overseer, there are not only the 38th Legion that he brought, but also the 66th and 83rd Legions, which have recently been transferred to the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and the 2nd Legion, which has been stationed in the Northwest Territories!

The Second Legion of the Imperial Army Department was one of the oldest and most famous legions in the Empire in terms of its name alone, and even so, the commander of the Second Legion did not sit in the position of Overseer, but instead succumbed to Clovis, who had only been the commander of the Legion for a year and a half.

Of course, on the one hand, this shows that Prince William attaches great importance to his confidant Clovis, and on the other hand, it also proves that the Viceroyalty of the Northwest has a lot of money, and the three generals who are listed as the Overseers alongside Clowe are General Bennett, General Marshall, and General Bates.

General Bennett, who was promoted to overseer of the Northwest Metropolitan Governorate, was originally the commander of the First Army Corps stationed in the Northwest Territories, and was also one of Duke Cullen's absolute henchmen in the Imperial Army.

Duke Cullen's henchmen and Prince William's henchmen are separated by a layer no matter what, and the transfer of the 59th, 60th, and 78th legions makes Bennet from Duke Cullen's absolute henchman to Prince William's henchman.

Bates, the overseer who commanded the 17th and 94th Legions, was the same as Overseer Clovis and was a confidant of Prince William, and it took only half a year for Bates to go from the commander of the 94th Legion to one of the four overseers of the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Overseer Marshall, who commanded the Fourth and Seventieth Legions, was Duke Cullen's absolute confidant, as was the Overseer Bennett, and he was originally the commander of the Fourth Legion stationed in the northern frontier of the Empire.

In addition to the 240,000 troops of these twelve standing armies, the city defense army of the four northwestern provinces was also not small, and the province of Calais, which was the core of the northwestern governorate, was the regular province of the three counties of the first province, like the province of Lille under its rule.

In addition to the province of Reims, which has four counties of the first prefecture, and the province of Noyon, which has five counties, the total number of city defense troops in the Northwest Metropolitan Mansion is about 50,000;

The Imperial War Headquarters, which had just disbanded its 22 standing legions and 300,000 recruits, had too many idle weapons and supplies to be used to form a new army, and although these weapons and equipment were of poor quality, they could be put to good use by the capital legions.

Among the four newly formed Metropolitan Governors, only the Northwest Metropolitan Governors were able to receive such strong support from the Imperial Military Department, and the other three Metropolitan Governors were simply wishful thinking if they wanted to obtain the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Military Department!

The Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Office, which was supported by the Imperial Military Department's weapons and equipment and military supplies, formed six Metropolitan Legions in one go for the first time, and these 60,000 recruits who were about to become soldiers of the Northwest Army Corps all came from the disbanded army of the Imperial Military Department that had not yet been repatriated to their hometowns!

Aside from the Eastern Metropolitan Governor's Office, which has five Eastern Army Corps, Prince William has built six new Northwest Army Corps before Prince Harry and Prince Philip have not even completed the expansion of the Metropolitan Guard.

The Northwest Metropolitan Governorate, which has the full support of the Imperial Minister of War, has a military advantage that cannot be compared with the other three princes, but the advantages of the other three princes are also not small, for example, Prince Harry's financial advantage.

Prince Harry, the Governor of the Southwest, who sits in the three provinces of the Southwest, has only seven standing legions in his Governor's Palace, and among the three Overseers of the Governor's Palace, Overseer Totila and Overseer Ferry are the confidants of Prince Harry, while Overseer Randolph is the general sent by the military department.

Randolph, who was originally the commander of the 25th Legion, led his headquarters and the 27th and 85th Legions to be stationed in the border area between the southwest of the empire and the Kingdom of Whitehorse.

As the commander of the 95th Legion, Ferry relied on the support of Prince Harry and the acquiescence of Charlemagne to take the most elite Third Legion in the southwest under his command.

The Ottila Overseers, who were most valued by Prince Harry, commanded the 76th and 79th Legions, which were the descendants of Prince Harry's painstakingly controlled, and their headquarters were in Lüsong Province, where they were always guarding Prince Harry's side.

Hammond, the newly promoted Imperial Finance Minister and the newly promoted Imperial Duke, is the maternal grandfather of Prince Harry, and with the support of the Imperial Finance Minister as a support, the future development of the three southwestern provinces and the growth of the Southwest Metropolitan Governor's Office, are you still worried about running out of money?

As long as there is money, the White Horse Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Southwest Metropolitan Prefecture, as well as the Principality of Kassel to the west of the Hundred Horse Kingdom and the Flying Feather Principality to the north, will become the trade objects of the Southwest Metropolitan Prefecture, and provide blood for the development and growth of the Southwest Metropolitan Prefecture.

Once the three southwestern provinces are truly rich, the Southwest Metropolitan Governorate will have enough funds to slowly expand more armies, build more sophisticated weapons and equipment, and even form knights and swordsmen!

On the whole, the main advantage of the Northwest Metropolitan Government is reflected in military strength, while the main advantage of the Southwest Metropolitan Government is reflected in the potential for development.

However, this does not mean that in the future, the Southwest Metropolitan Government will necessarily be stronger than the Northwest Metropolitan Government; countless bloody facts in history have shown that the forces with strong economic strength are not necessarily more powerful than those with strong military strength, and the key is whether or not economic strength can be transformed into comprehensive strength.

Compared with the Northwest Metropolitan Government and the Southwest Metropolitan Governorate, which have unlimited potential, the Northern Metropolitan Government and the Eastern Metropolitan Governorate, which always need to guard against foreign invasions, are undoubtedly much more miserable; fortunately, the armies of these two Metropolitan Governors are continued to be supported by the Imperial Military Department.

Otherwise, just a large army of up to sixteen legions would be enough to collapse the Northern Metropolitan Government and the Eastern Imperial Prefecture, but for the Prince of Pros, who had a slight advantage at the beginning of independence, how to support the five Eastern Legions was the real headache for him.
