After returning to Belgium, Carabis did not immediately contact the Germanic barbarians, but first found the Tragic Dead; Calabes had previously passed on all the information he had learned from the officials appointed by Flavis to the Tragic Dead, who did not dare to delay such a major event in the slightest, and quickly sent the information back to Syracuse.

Oscar, after receiving information from Calabes, was not surprised, but only sighed at the meticulous planning of the three Roman empires; After that, Oscar asked the Mourners to convey an order to Karabes, that is, Oscar could allow Karabes's army to enter the Iberian Peninsula for the time being, but Carabes must hand over eleven eagle flags to Oscar!

That is to say, it doesn't matter exactly how Carabis fought Oscar, but Carabis must annihilate all the six legions deployed by Julius's empire on the land of Gaul and the five legions sent by the Roman Empire; As long as the eagle banners of these eleven legions were in the hands of Oscar, the end of the Ulius Empire and the Roman Empire was almost coming.

For Oscar's order, Carabis accepted it without even thinking about it; As long as the five legions of the Roman Empire came to the land of Gaul, and when the army of twenty legions marched into the Iberian Peninsula, how could these five legions escape from the encirclement of the fifteen legions under the command of Carabes?

As for the six legions of the Julius Empire stationed in the land of Gaul, the land of Gaul was the territory of Carabes, and it was impossible for these six legions to hide every move of Carabis in the land of Gaul; As long as the timing is right, Carabis can easily pack up all six legions of the Julius Empire, and then it will be time for the Augustan Empire to start a full-scale counterattack.

After the Tragic Dead conveyed Oscar's orders to Karabes, Karabes had the Tragic Dead put in touch with the coalition forces of the Germanic barbarians assembled in the Agridiggumat region; Two months later, Carabes was to hand over 60,000 captives from the British barbarians to the Germanic barbarians, who had to send troops to meet them in Upper Germania.

With these two things settled, Calabes began to prepare for the expansion of his army; This time, Flavis directly sent the standard weapons and equipment of the regular legions of the five legions of the Julius Empire to Calabes, and the military salaries and materials needed to form a large army were piled up into several hills in Alesia City.

In the face of such a large amount of weapons and equipment, Karabes decided that the new five legions would no longer be composed of the old legions, but would uncharacteristically form the five new legions based on the regular legions of the Julius Empire.

This was because Carabis knew that the enemy he was about to fight was no longer a barbarian army, but a Roman army with a well-armed and heavily armed infantry; Therefore, he must make new adjustments in this regard to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army under his command.

Among the ten legions under Calabis's current command, except for the first legion, which is large and powerful, the other nine legions are almost all lightly armed legions that are only suitable for fighting in the barbarian jungle; Such an army would have been able to fight in both Gaul and Germanic lands, but would have been ineffective in entering the plains to engage the Roman army.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, and in order to better cope with future high-level wars, Carabes had to abandon his previous model of forming an army and adopt a Roman way to form the five recruit legions under his command.

Even Flavis knew this, otherwise he would not have been able to send Carabes five regular regiments of the Empire of Julius at one time with the standard weapons and equipment for the first time in history; He understood that the enemy that Calabes needed to face this time was no longer the barbarian army in the jungle, but the elite and powerful Emperor Augustus ** team of the army, which was why he sent so many sophisticated weapons and equipment to Calabes.

Of the eight lightly armed regiments that existed under Calabes, all the soldiers were Gallic warriors who were accustomed to fighting lightly; Rather than having these people change their original combat methods with difficulty, it is better to directly form a new army to intensify training.

The six provinces of Gaul plus the Belgian regions, with a total population of more than five million; The army under the command of Calabis is only less than 120,000, and it is not difficult to recruit another 50,000 troops, it only takes a month or two for Calabis to recruit soldiers from five legions in his own territory, and then he can start training them for half a year.

However, there was another problem that Calabis had to solve as soon as possible, and that was the question of the garrison of the land of Gaul and the island of Britain; The land of Gaul was now stable, but there was no guarantee that there would be no unrest, let alone the three regions on the island of Britain, and as soon as Carabes' army withdrew, they would definitely rebel.

Even if Carabis had taken sixty thousand captives from the island of Britain, it would not have been possible to completely destroy all the resistance of the British barbarians; The Ulius Empire only made arrangements for the garrison on the land of Gaul, and there were no arrangements for the three regions on the British Isles, but Calabes had to find a way to solve it.

The commanders of the various legions under the command of Calabes would only do what they were told, and it would be too difficult for them to find a solution to such a problem; What's more, they have become accustomed to obeying Karabes, and Karabes is also accustomed to treating his army as his own word, so this problem is naturally solved by Karabes.

In fact, Karabes's solution to this problem was also very simple and crude, which was to suppress it by creating new armies to garrison these areas; In Carabes's opinion, since he needed to lead the forces of fifteen legions to the Iberian Peninsula, why couldn't he form some local garrisons in addition to these fifteen legions?

Calabes immediately convened an army council in the city of Alesia, in which the five commanders of the Eleventh to Fifteenth Legions to be formed were also appointed by Carabes; They were chiefs from various tribes of the Gallic barbarians, and they were also generals who had served in the army of Calabes for at least three years, and Carabes had no doubts about their loyalty.

Among them, the commander of the 11th Army was General Ayaces from the Aquitani region, the commander of the 12th Army was General Aresus from the Amaurica region, the commander of the 13th Army was General Luco from the Narpung Gaul region, the commander of the 14th Army was General Parbon from the Greater Gaul region, and the commander of the 15th Army was General Comosigus from the Belgian region.

The appointment of these five commanders was only the beginning of a meeting in which Calabess formally announced the formation of a garrison in Gaul and the Isle of Britain; Each of the six provinces of Gaul and Belgium will have one garrison, while each of the three newly occupied British islands will have two garrisons.

This garrison would be much larger than the one in the regular army, and each garrison would consist of a thousand samurai and a thousand cavalry; The six garrisons stationed on the island of Britain were numbered the 1st to 6th Garrisons, while the seven garrisons stationed in Gaul and Belgium were numbered 7th to 13th.

Each of these newly formed garrison brigades will have a captain and two deputy captains who will command the infantry and cavalry respectively; Later, Carabes also set up a garrison headquarters on top of the garrison brigade, and all garrison brigades throughout the British Isle were under the unified command of the London garrison command, and the commander of this command was General Tangured.

The seven garrisons in the six provinces of Gaul and Belgium will also have an Alesian garrison command, which will also command the garrisons of the seven provinces, and the commander will be General Bava.

According to Karabes's plan, Karabes needs to form thirteen garrison brigades in the next nine months, and the thirteen thousand infantry and thirteen thousand cavalry of these thirteen garrison brigades will assume the heavy responsibility of guarding the place; The generals and captains of these garrisons were also loyal to Karabes, which strengthened Karabes' control over these areas.

However, Karabes had no intention of assembling the thirteen garrisons in nine months; In the previous battle, there were more than 5,000 wounded soldiers under the command of Karabes who had not been incorporated into the various legions, and now they were just drawn out by Karabes to form a new garrison brigade with their veterans with good combat effectiveness as the core.

With the formation of five recruit corps and thirteen garrison brigades on the agenda, the generals under Calabes began to get busy; Even the generals, who were not involved in these affairs, also felt the tense atmosphere of the approaching great war, and changed their previous fatigue and laziness and hurriedly trained their respective regiments, and the entire land of Gaul quickly entered into intense preparations.

In the last decisive battle in London, the First Army's equipment brigade played a vital role, but it was still lacking in size; In addition, the hoplites of the 5,000 men of the First Army could play a smaller and smaller role in a large-scale decisive battle, so Carabis carried out a large-scale expansion of these two units of the First Army.

The original fleet of 3,000 men was expanded to 5,000 men, and all the twelve catapults were eliminated by Calabes, but the forty-eight ballistas were increased to a hundred; The hoplites of Aminos have also been expanded to 10,000 men, and their combat effectiveness has increased exponentially! 8
