Recently, Chopin has really been a big two, because of the recruitment of various buildings, troops, and warships, plus the influx of 8,000 slaves, there are too many things for him to deal with.

At this time, the French Empire was still a monarchy, and the monarchy meant a monarchy dictatorship, and only with the consent of the king, could the policy be implemented.

Although the most important chief ministers in the country, the Minister of the Navy, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of the Army, all have people in office, which has relieved him a lot of pressure, but because of the recent occurrence of various things one after another, Chopin has to deal with an unusually large number of documents at this time.

In fact, not only Chopin, but also the rest of the cabinet ministers were not busy at all, and as for the middle and low-level officials in the city of Paris, they were also constantly toiling around.

The addition of more than 8,000 slaves can greatly increase the speed of the construction of the city of Paris, but how to reasonably distribute the work of these people and maximize the efficiency of this group of people is a big project, and in addition, there are also the accommodation of these slaves, three meals a day, how to let them build as quickly as possible without affecting the lives of the residents of the city of Paris, and other problems need to be solved, and the first few items alone are enough for these officials to be busy for an unknown amount of time.

As for Kit and Jiman, they are also busy at this time, and they can't wait to divide one person into two people, and among the several cabinet ministers, the busiest are undoubtedly the two of them.

Just the training, food, housing, and formation of a large number of newly added troops are enough for them to work for half a day, and in addition, there are a series of problems that need to be arranged and solved by them on how to better integrate these arms together and cooperate well during battle.

Although these newly recruited troops have quite good combat power, on the battlefield, the cooperation between the various arms is undoubtedly more important, and for the bloody collision that is about to begin, they must step up their training.

And just when these newly recruited soldiers were in full swing training and running-in, in the newly built schools, Chopin arranged for gentlemen to be stationed in them, hoping to unlock new technologies in the shortest possible time, and these new technologies are undoubtedly crucial to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

And half a month after Chopin's large-scale recruitment, in the newly built conference hall of the Palais des Bourbons,

A crucial meeting is in the midst of intense discussions.

"Your Majesty, according to estimates, it is estimated that there will be more than a month or so before we arrive in the capital of the Kingdom of Tianxin, and if all goes well, we will launch a general attack on Fudesen and them in the autumn. ”

A mid-level official swore based on the information gathered in this world.

Hearing the words of this middle-level official, several other cabinet ministers in the room at this time looked at Chopin with astonishing madness and heat.

They will not forget that more than half a year ago, it was because of Forderson's power that they had to flee away from the "chaotic capital", and now, it is finally time to repay their debts.

And for all the imperial soldiers, such a flight without a fight is undoubtedly one of the most shameful events, a humiliation that can never be beared, and such humiliation can only be washed away with the endless blood of the enemy.

However, compared to those middle and low-level officials at this time, the cabinet ministers in the room undoubtedly had more to think about.

At this time, the situation in the West Sea is that the "Iron Tower" kingdom has completely disappeared in the long river of history, and the "Shengyao" kingdom is crumbling, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will have to follow in the footsteps of the "Iron Tower" kingdom, and at this time, the strongest overlord in the West Sea is undoubtedly the "Tianxin" kingdom, and as long as you defeat the other party, it is not difficult to unify the West Sea, and then, you can use the west as a springboard and then expand to other sea areas.

And in the end, their goal is naturally to unify the Endless Sea, and although the path is extremely difficult, it ...... Not without opportunities.

"How's the supplies going? Ammunition reserves, are they sufficient?"

The three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and in terms of logistics, the issue of material transportation is undoubtedly the most important thing.

In addition, the transportation of lead bullets and artillery shells is also a crucial point in determining whether this war can be won or not.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, the area for growing food has been doubled again, and it is definitely enough for us to support a long-term war. At this time, the gun factory was also in full operation, and a large number of lead bullets and shells were also being manufactured. ”

Sherlay nodded, and said in a calm voice.

Things like the allocation of materials have always been the sole responsibility of the other party, Xie Erlei comes from a big family in the West Sea, and naturally there will be no lack of experience in managing materials and allocation, even if there are really difficult aspects to deal with, there will naturally be low-level officials to explain and help.

"Well, that's good."

Chopin nodded, then stood up violently, his fist slamming into the ground.

"So...... Get ready for a battle with Fordson, folks, unlike the enemies we've encountered in the past, they have not only elite warriors on their hands, but also difficult undead creatures like the "Knight of Judgment" and "Nightmare", and I don't know if they have any other means besides. ”

Chopin's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he said with an extremely solemn face.

Everyone nodded immediately, they naturally knew the meaning of Chopin's words, the unknown enemy is always the most terrifying, and Fudson, the overlord of the West Sea who has never met at this time, no one knows how many means he has.

Also, the Knights of Judgment and Nightmare are not easy to deal with, and the artillery and musketeers will play a vital role in this battle, so their safety must be guaranteed. ”

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Hearing Chopin's words, Kit's face suddenly became extremely solemn.

************

Compared with the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, what is displayed inside and outside Paris at this time is a hot passion.

Not only the soldiers of the French Empire, but also the residents of Paris also know the significance of the upcoming collision battle, and once successful, the French Empire will officially take the first step in the journey of conquering this otherworld, so this battle must not be lost.

Although they could not participate in the impending collision, the enthusiasm of all the inhabitants undoubtedly made the enthusiasm of the Imperial soldiers even more intense.

As far outside Paris, it's another view.

A large number of slaves were busy with logging, quarrying, paving roads, building bridges, building outposts, and planting wheat...... All the heavy and tiring work fell on these slaves.

However, these slaves did not dare to make any moves, because beside them were teams of heavily armed National Guards, and these National Guards might not be very impressive in battle when they went on the battlefield, but if they were to deal with these unarmed slaves, there would naturally be no problem.

If they do make any changes, these National Guards will be the first to deal them a fatal blow.

At this time, the situation on Drifting Island was different from the past, due to the addition of these 8,000 slaves, slave resources were not scarce, and the relatively chaotic situation caused by a large number of slaves, so Chopin made stricter and more cruel regulations for these slaves, and if these slaves resisted, they would be executed immediately.

And under the oppression of such an incomparably bloody and violent policy, the atmosphere of restlessness among a large number of slaves was gradually suppressed.

In fact, when the "Shengyao" Kingdom handed over their batch of slaves to the unknown lord in front of him, his mind inevitably became active, especially when he found that the number of soldiers under his supervision was extremely small, such thoughts rushed like a flood of embankments, and could no longer be suppressed.

And just when he was preparing for the escape plan with all his might, the soldiers who supervised them suddenly changed, and the number of guards increased sharply.

This made Byrne immediately hesitate, and in the following days, it was not that no one wanted to escape, but each attempt to escape ended in failure, and the next day, the camp where they rested would have several more headless corpses.

Looking at the flintlock pistols in the hands of the walking National Guards, a look of greed suddenly appeared in Bourne's eyes, but soon, this greedy look was suppressed to the deepest part of his heart, and under the urging of the soldiers around him, he still worked mechanically.

A few days earlier, he had seen a soldier raise the inconspicuous barrel of a black gun, followed by a roaring sound, and then a blazing flame erupted, and then a black pressed object no larger than the size of a peanut flew out, and then the man who had run more than ten meters away fell in response.

He had never seen such an unbelievable weapon before, but after seeing this with his own eyes, the jealousy in Byrne's heart was even greater.

He knew that the only thing he could do at this time was to endure and wait.

**************

At the same time, on the sea, not far from Chopin's drifting island, more than a dozen slender and slightly peculiar warships were riding the wind and waves, surging forward.

What is even more shocking and even unimaginable is that on this rough sea, there are five ancient trees in the sky, treading the waves.

Each of the five ancient trees is more than 20 meters high, enough to be surrounded by several people, and the dense branches and foliage are even more obscuring the sky and the sun, blocking all the sunlight in the sky.

On the deck of the slender battleship in the middle, there were several elves standing at this time.

"High Priest Phil, why should we accede to those guys' requests to help them deal with those enemies?"

At this time, it was a young girl in the middle who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

The skin on his body is as smooth and clear as white jade, his long flowing hair is spread out like smooth silk, and his golden eyes are like the brightest stars in the night.

"Felitins, don't you know what we're doing now, do we still have options? If we don't show all our strength this time, I'm afraid there will really be no place for us in the West Sea. ”

"I know, but ...... But it's just dealing with these human troops, is it such a fuss? Sent out all the Ancient War Trees. ”

Hearing High Priest Phil's words, the young girl suddenly became a little cramped, but she still retorted with a blushing face.

"Felitins, don't be careless, you must know that according to the news from Forderson, the enemy has a large firearm in his hands, and the power is extremely amazing."

"What's the matter, there are ancient trees of war, are you still afraid of them? Human trebuchets and ballistae have almost no effect on the ancient trees of war, where will they be our opponents. ”

The little girl crossed her mouth and waved her hand, quite a feeling of inevitability.

"Felitins, maybe you look down on those human soldiers, but you should know something about the 'Knights of Judgment' under Forderson, right? ”

"Hmm."

The little girl nodded with some trepidation, and her face, which was originally as hot as a red apple, inevitably showed a frightened look at this time.

After all, the shock that such a monster gave her was really unforgettable.

However, under Forderson, there is a stronger analogue called the Nightmare.

And the enemy who fought with us this time defeated a "Nightmare Ghost" and thousands of "Judgment Knights", and in addition, there were tens of thousands of elite warriors under Forderson, but they were still no match for those enemies, and the difference in strength between the two sides can be imagined. ”

The little girl nodded a little dazedly, and her original arrogance was gone, replaced by panic and fear.

"Don't worry, I've seen the strength of the "Nightmare Ghost", and the corrosive power of those guys is indeed a great restraint on the "War Ancient Tree", but even so, it is impossible to be the opponent of the "War Ancient Tree", and in the previous confrontation, what they dealt with was just a "Nightmare Ghost", and on our side, there are a full five War Ancient Trees, and one of them still has the blood of the Ancient War Tree "Migael". ”

"And Felitins, we not only have to win this battle, but also solve the opponent quite beautifully, only by sweeping with absolute superiority, we can get Forderson's attention, otherwise, we are afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future."

"Liwei?"

The little girl blinked, then her slender hands held her mouth and said thoughtfully.
