Chapter 267: Preparations for the Imperial Army and Navy

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin said in surprise: "Is that going to let our empire's navy and army do it themselves?!" ”

"Yes! But it's just a simple intervention...... The Imperial Navy and Army must also have actual combat experience in the tropics......"

After hearing this, the two military commanders were overjoyed, even if they let them intervene in a limited way, then everything would be simple!

Chairman Wu Dapeng told them to go back and reformulate the battle plan.

"The Empire is with us!"

The two saluted goodbye with great excitement.

President Wu Dapeng relaxed at this time and lit a cigarette leisurely.

The tobacco industry in the Federal Empire has blossomed in the new business district of Marbury...... Some tobacco companies have bought dry land here to grow tobacco...... As long as they don't sell within the confederation's jurisdiction, they will save a lot of money on taxes.

Compared to the Federal Empire, the taxes they gave to the Marbury Nation were really not worth mentioning.

Drinking tea, drinking coffee, smoking, and wearing federal empire-style clothes were first imitated by the nobles of the Marbury Empire, and then immediately imitated by some large merchants...... Then it was learned by some wealthy people.

Even Marbury's new districts began to be built in the guise of the new business districts...... At the very least, I learned to have a public toilet, a sewer, and a large bamboo garbage basket.

The smell and garbage of the old scene is gone.

However, the new business district is still a popular place for the wealthy, with a wide variety of goods and places to enjoy people...... I've heard that as long as the Federation Empire wants something on the main island, it will soon be available here in a few months.

Not only did the goods of the Federal Empire come here, but other merchants from the entire southern region of Tianzhu also came here to set up shops.

On Spice Street, almost all the shops are run by merchants in the southern area of Tianzhu.

With kerosene gas lamps acting as street lights, the entire new business district has become a city that never sleeps, and it is still bustling with people in the middle of the night.

At that time, the entire country of Marbury had begun a major conscription, but it still did not affect the prosperity there.

The daily cargo coming in and out of the new business district can be calculated in terms of almost 5,000 tons!

Business is an activity that benefits everyone: new business districts are growing, and tax revenues in the country of Marbury are growing...... Even the lowliest porters are earning money to support their families!

In support of the development of the Nankai region of Africa and the Free Islands of Europe, the country of Marbury can even replace the main island of the Union Empire in many ways, and even more convenient in some special places.

As the king of the Marbury Kingdom had taken the lead in the previous "unification" campaign, his territory and population had increased considerably...... He started out strange that the people of the Federal Empire could always quickly find good coal, copper, and iron ore in the places he had just "unified...... But he was soon relieved, the Federal Empire, they can even have the weapons of Lord Shiva, so it is nothing to find some mineral deposits casually.

The Indien Group of Companies of the Federal Empire gave considerable benefits to the king of the Marbury Kingdom every time they opened a mine, and often rewarded the Marbury army...... In this way, everyone is motivated to act as one.

Of course, the people of the Union Empire did not support the "unification" of all the southern places, but persuaded King Marbury to establish state-to-state relations with some princely states.

The reason for this is very simple, those princely states that want to have good relations have no resources in the country, and if they are "unified", they will take a lot of national welfare in vain.

The Confederation strongly supported the "unification" of the King of Marbury, but also strongly demanded that he reduce the taxes of the people...... It is also necessary to give relief to families who are too poor.

The young ambassador of the Federal Empire said: "If you want to be truly 'unified', you must make the 'unified' people live a little better...... Only in this way will we not worry about the future, which is a matter of people's hearts. ”

When the king of Marbury heard this, he seemed to understand...... On the one hand, he enjoyed the dividends of land expansion and population increase, and on the other hand, he had to pay a lot to appease the people...... Therefore, he is also not interested in the places where the Federal Empire does not support him to go to 'unification'.

Although some of the nobles in the country secretly expressed their dissatisfaction, King Marbury ignored them.

Which nobles can provide hairpistols, artillery, and ammunition?

Those aristocrats can provide a way out for the poor people, so that they can eat and earn money.

Those nobles were able to truly protect his throne???

If the Marbury Kingdom is in danger, those nobles will probably be the first to run away!

The Federal Empire will certainly not ...... Because they have built too many shops in the country of Marbury!

The king of Marbury also found that he did not have the advantage of being completely unified by following the arrangement, and he could also recruit excellent young men from other princely states to serve as mercenaries at a low price!

Haha, those people are far cheaper than recruiting their own citizens!!

The Federal Empire fully supported the military construction of the Marbury Nation, but that was all in return...... At first, the king smashed it with gold, silver, and precious stones, but later he found that it was possible to use labor and minerals, even cotton and linen...... However, it's all a cost.

So, it is some to be able to save.

King Marbury expanded his recruitment, which allowed him to quickly expand his army of 5,000 to 10,000.

The recruits were also given training by the Imperial Army's training company.

After Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin knew that Chairman Wu Dapeng had asked for military aid from the island, his confidence exploded directly!

The army of 5,000 men has only 1,000 firearms, which are still dominated by cold weapons...... I really don't dare to say that I can directly sweep the Central Plains...... But if more than half of the 10,000-strong army is firearms, and the limited involvement of the Empire's army and navy, then they will definitely win!

Major Du of the Imperial Navy once approached Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin, and he wanted to establish a Marbury Marine Corps, the scale of which did not need to be large, a thousand people were enough.

At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when this war is over...... Didn't intelligence say that the Delhi Sultan had already begun to form an army? ”

Major Du said: "According to the fastest speed, they can reach the preset battlefield in a month and a half at the earliest...... If we train as soon as possible, we should be able to train it, right? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin touched his chin and said, "If we want to train as soon as possible, we have to pick out the best Marbury soldiers...... And the best way to train them......"

Major Du smiled and said, "That's right! So we need to go to the Navy and pick a ...... in the Army."

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin glanced at him and said, "I want to provide you with the best weapons and equipment, right?" ”

Major Du patted Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin on the shoulder and said, "Yes, yes! Our navy and army are a family......"

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin had to accede to his request.

There is no way to do this, and Chairman Wu Dapeng has always emphasized that it is a limited intervention.

After another ten days, the military aid from the island arrived, a full twenty five-masted transports...... An Air Force company with six hot air balloons was also brought...... They were stationed directly in the barracks of the Imperial Army.

At this moment, the army and navy of the Federal Empire were complete.
