Chapter 330: Joseph's New Layout
In January of the 2nd year of the New Era, South America completely fell, and it has become a paradise for mutant creatures, with a large number of mutant creatures fighting and fighting, and humans are just a small race fleeing in confusion.
After a year, the world has changed dramatically from the apocalypse, the birth of mutant creatures, the unification of the Nord kingdom on the Brittany Peninsula, the establishment of various kingdoms in the Americas, and the extinction of various kingdoms in the Americas.
Looking down at the planet under the stars, the lights have slowly disappeared from dim to night, and most of the area is dark, only the Brittany Peninsula in Europe can barely maintain some bright lights, but this has also begun to attract the attention of some powerful creatures, especially when night comes.
The Kingdom of California was founded, the Kingdom of Kansas was founded, the Kingdom of Montana was founded, the Kingdom of Virginia was founded, the Kingdom of Texas was founded, the Kingdom of California was destroyed, the Kingdom of Kansas was destroyed, the Kingdom of Montana was destroyed, the Kingdom of Virginia was destroyed, the Kingdom of Texas was destroyed, maybe at first they were excited, but then it was completely unimaginable.
At the same time in Asia, a powerful hydra came from the abyss, and unlike other places, the inhabitants of that small land chose to submit rather than resist. Hydra came from Middle-earth, and only came to this land because he was driven by a strong man, but he didn't expect to encounter such treatment, so he was very happy to accept the submission.
The changes in the east Joseph naturally did not know, the place where he stayed the most every day was on the city wall, looking at the European continent was very confused, and he did not know where was the future way out of the Nord Kingdom.
The population of the Nord kingdom has exceeded one and a half million, and the two legions have increased to three, not counting the defensive legions under the jurisdiction of the four governors.
Three legions plus four defensive legions, a total of 700,000 soldiers, this is all the adult males of the Nord Kingdom, and the social pressure brought by recruiting soldiers is very heavy, but Joseph must do this, because this is the end of the world, the end of the world, the end of the world.
Every day, more than a dozen cavalry divisions will go out to detect according to the formation of squadrons. Most of the current population is brought back in the process, and although there are casualties every time, the benefits brought back at the same time are not only the population.
The situation of several cities in Nantes in the south, Vogels and Laval in the east was in Joseph's mind, and sure enough, as he imagined, the mutated creatures had moved eastward, although there were many left, but they did not pose any threat to the Nord Kingdom.
The cavalry division, which continued further east, had not yet returned, so Joseph was not very clear about the situation there, but understood that this was sufficient for now, because Joseph was ready to march eastward and at the same time take Nantes and form a real wall in Brittany.
In the military conference room, Joseph, who had returned to the new palace, held a military meeting for the first time. Heisenberg, Wilhelm. Otto, Renault. The three generals of Leclerc were present at the meeting.
"I am going to arrange for the 3rd and 6th Cavalry Divisions to go to Nantes and continue south along Nantes. Strive to reach the second line of defense of the Nord Kingdom by today's June. ”
"Second line of defense?"
Bach. Heisenberg was a little puzzled, the defense line of the Brittany Peninsula was easy to form, but what about the rest of the world? Is it necessary to build a horizontal wall in addition to a longitudinal wall?
"The Normandy Maine Eco Park, which is an area that we need to avoid, can directly take the cities of Le Mans, Tours, Poandier, La Rochelli, and thus form a second line of defense."
Looking at the red line drawn by Joseph on the map, if the previous Nord kingdom was a triangular defense line with Rennes as the corner, then now it is to connect Le Mans due east on the original basis, and then connect the cities of Tours, Poitiers, and La Rochelli in an arc, completely enveloping Nantes in it.
The main targets of this line are the Maine Ecopark and a small ecopark north of Povaltier. If Joseph's plan is completed, then the territory of the Nord kingdom will double out of thin air, reaching about one-tenth of the territory of France before the end of the day.
Of course, where only the sergeants and barracks were housed, the real population of the Nord kingdom was still in the Brittany Peninsula. It will not be until the five million citizens of the pre-war period are restored to the region.
The main purpose of setting up a second line of defense is not actually to increase the territory, but to deepen a buffer zone, and add a new line of defense, and the mutated creatures that will move east in the future will return. They were also able to hold on for a little longer.
Thinking about these questions, Bach. Heisenberg, Wilhelm. Otto, Renault. Leclerc no longer hesitated to agree to Joseph's plan, hoping to get the task into his own hands.
Future...... Joseph would have arranged for a general to be stationed at the outermost line of defense. This is a good opportunity to make a difference, whether it is Bach. Heisenberg or Wilhelm. Otto may have just taken up the post of Commander Renault. Admiral Leclerc, they were all very eager to get this chance.
Shaking his head, Joseph finally smiled wryly and assigned the matter to Renault. Leclerc, because at this time he needs some credit to stabilize his position, it is not a good thing to blindly let his generals make achievements, and it is the right way to suppress it appropriately.
Bach understood Joseph's purpose in doing this. Heisenberg and William. Otto was very clever and chose to remain silent, their military power was strong enough, once they were suspected by Joseph, there was only a dead end, and they were not willing to do such a thing.
Bach. Heisenberg and William. Unlike the three governors who had just been canonized by Joseph, Otto had a legion in their hands, but in fact the real strength of that legion was equivalent to a division of the field legion, or even slightly inferior.
"Renault. General Leclerc, I would like Brigadier Flender to be your deputy, what do you think? ”
Although Flender has the status of a member of the royal family and even the title of a prince, he is now only a brigadier division commander, Joseph understands very clearly, hoping to use this opportunity to make Flender the deputy commander of the legion, and may be able to lead the army alone in the future.
Something like this Renault. Naturally, Leclerc couldn't and didn't dare to refuse, which was not a good job, because he needed to keep Flender safe and give him the most credit, which was very difficult.
Because of his identity, Flender's strength is already at the peak of most of the great swordsmen, and he only needs to refine his sword skills to become the second sword master of the Nord Kingdom. But even so, he lacked some determination to die and a fighting mood when facing some strong enemies, which may be the disadvantage of being born in the aristocracy.
In terms of force, he will win the military competition again and again, but in terms of fighting to the death, he is far behind, because no one will ever give him this opportunity, and this is exactly the same as Joseph.
The meeting dispersed, and after a glance at Kate Joseph, who was looking at the west, he couldn't help but come to her side and put his arm around her slender waist and said: "You have to believe Charlie, maybe he is not a qualified emperor, but he will be a qualified governor, especially a governor in a relatively stable place." ”
Charlie has always been very military and he is not proficient, but this is just right for the current Western Territories, which is the root of the Nord kingdom and the home territory of the Nord kingdom before the end of the world.
There was no need for a strong military force, what they needed was peace and stability, and what they needed was to be able to provide a constant stream of logistics, which was the main reason why Joseph placed him in the west as governor.
The northern and southern lines of defense are different, and their main responsibility is not to develop the economy but to defend the sea in case sea creatures come ashore to attack humans, so the governors of the two places must be proficient in some immediate command skills. This is shared by both Morris and Smith, who had a close collaboration when Smith was Prime Minister of Nord, and now they are the guardians of the South and the North.
After the end of the world, the House of Commons and the House of Lords of the Nord Kingdom have been paralyzed, especially the House of Commons, and the citizens no longer have any rights, all rights have been taken over by Joseph, and the House of Commons exists in name only.
"I wanted to believe him, but I couldn't help but worry."
This is Kate's truth, to which Joseph cannot answer, because he is not in the same mood?
At the same time, Flender, who was rubbing the alloy knife, was slightly distracted, and it was not until the arrival of the adjutant that he came back to his senses, and under the service of the adjutant, he put on the military uniform representing the brigadier general, and the two went to the corps headquarters to meet the corps commander Renaud. Admiral Leclerc awaits a new mission.
"General!"
It was a very respectful military salute, and Renault was looking at the map at this time. Leclerc looked up, and when he saw that it was Flender, he couldn't help but smile kindly.
"Brigadier General Flender, are you interested in a mission here?"
Interested? Because of his identity, the commander never asks himself about the task, avoiding some ordinary logistics tasks and boring refusal, and what is the reason for this today?
"Obey all orders from His Excellency the Legion Commander."
Sure enough, seeing that everything was as he expected, Renault. Leclerc couldn't help but smile lightly: "I hope you can go to Nantes and take the city of Nat and follow the cities of Nantra Rocelli, Niort, Poandier, this is the layout of His Majesty's new defensive line, you can take a look." ”
Talking to Renault. Leclerc put the map in front of Flender, looked at the red lines on it and the cities on the lines, and Flender instantly understood Joseph's purpose in doing this.
"Isn't it a little tense for such a long line of defense?"
Naturally, it is impossible to place a safe army in the new defense line, and there will inevitably be some people who will stay in Rennes and wander around, such as cavalry divisions like themselves. In this way, it is estimated that the soldiers who are really defending the first line will not exceed 200,000, which is obviously a little tight compared to the old defense line.
