Chapter 642: Maginot Line (II)

The so-called Lower Maginot Line starts from the edge of the coastal mountain range in the northwest region of the Central Continent at the junction of the Northwest Regions of the Central Continent and the Western Regions in the north, reaches the coastal end of the eastern part of the territory of the former Bona Union in the south, and extends 10 miles inland to the former Bona Alliance, and enters the Fort of Marli in the forest area where the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent meet.

In Sun Lin's plan, Sun Lin will use the tall Sunset City Wall and Water Chestnut Fort, and even the Star Fort to close all the coastal lines of the king's inland sea in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, and place all the war equipment produced by the Great Empire in the future, such as No. 1 artillery, counterweight trebuchets, and giant crossbows to defend the city, in this direction where the idea alone can make all the generals feel a trace of fear.

In addition, Sun Lin will put in addition to the 300,000 Sunset Infantry Army sent to the junction of the Western Regions and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent and the 270,000 cavalry sent to the Southern Regions of the Central Continent, all the Sunset Immortal Army that participated in the Conquest of the Western Regions of the Central Continent before, with a total number of about 600,000 (including the Watt Warhammer troops of the Watt clan and the merchant alliance of about 100,000 merchant alliances, as well as the alien army of about 4 or 50,000 combined with the Bear Monster Warriors and the Snake Man Warriors). The griffon knights, including more than 12,000 men, were all pressed against the Maginot Line.

Of course, just like this is not enough, because Sun Lin has a hunch that what he has to face will be the three old empires in the Central Continent with more than 2 million in their hands, all kinds of well-equipped and extremely strong combat effectiveness, and an offensive army with many war monsters and strong alien warriors, even if some of the more than 2 million troops will be assigned to the upper line, the Maginot Line and the other two battlefields, but the number of troops left behind is definitely more than 1 million troops, and it is not just 600,000 troops. It can be stopped by a strong lower maginot line, let alone when the enemy is attacking. What percentage of it can be built?

Under such circumstances, Sun Lin decided to carry out a large-scale recruitment of troops, among them, located on the western continent, because the Atlantans are the majority, and the Xiyi people have already expanded once before this, so Sun Lin asked the Western Continent's Sunset Army to train a force with a number of between 50,000 and 80,000 before June next year, set as 6 Atlantan Crescent Spearmen Auxiliary Corps. And this army is also in the continental region of the territory owned by several great empires on which the sun never sets. The easiest and cheapest part of the mainland to train soldiers.

Although the Western Continent has been scorched to the earth continent due to several counterattacks by the Atlantans before this, coupled with the invasion of the Water Qilin Empire, the good thing is that in so many wars, a large number of foundry factories, armor factories, and arsenals in the Western Continent were preserved at the end of the war, and most importantly, many Atlantan craftsmen also survived. Under such circumstances, if these factories were to operate at full capacity in the coming months to produce an army of no more than 80,000 Atlantean spearmen, then 80,000 Atlantaic spearmen would be put into the battlefield of the Lower Maginot Line. It will be a force armed to the teeth.

As for the situation with the training of the troops. Although these 80,000 or so Atlantan crescent spearmen must be a group of soldiers who have not experienced life and death on the battlefield, but there are nearly 3 quarters or so of drills, even if the Atlantan crescent spearmen do not have the help of the system, under the devilish training of the officers who never set, the Macedonian phalanx and the operation of the war machinery against the sun will definitely be mastered by the Atlantan soldiers, and these Atlantan spearmen themselves are the second-line troops of the army on which the sun never sets. In these 3 months or so, according to the system's explanation, it should be able to be raised to the level of Bronze Star Level 3 or even Silver Star Level 1, which is a surprise for Sun Lin and even the entire Lower Maginot Line.

After the conscription plan for the Western Continent was formulated, it was the turn of the Northwest Continent that followed. This mainland area has become the backyard of the great empire on which the sun never sets: because Sun Lin has the idea that soldiers are not expensive, the conscription in the northwest continent is only about 50,000, including the Mishaal Heavy Regiment with 3 regiments and 20,000 Lancet hammer soldiers on the 2nd line.

As for the reason why this piece of Northwest Continent should have the largest number of conscripts in all the conscripted continental regions of the Great Empire, the final conscription number is less than 50,000, in fact, because the Northwest Continent is not suitable for building a large number of arsenals, and the number of arsenals that can only be built in this continent can only provide a full set of equipment before the arrival of September next year can only reach 50,000 pieces at most, so the Northwest Continent can only recruit 50,000 soldiers in the end, which is also mixed with about 20,000 second-line troops.

It is worth mentioning that there is a continental region in the territory of the Great Empire that recruits the same number of troops as the Western Continent, of course, this continental region is not the first place that all the New Delhi Peninsula that comes to mind, this place where the strongest infantry soldiers who never set the sun are recruited and trained, because the New Delhi Peninsula in Sun Lin's intention will recruit 50,000 orc warriors who will never set the sun, and about 40,000 members of the Swiss Guard, plus at least 3 griffin knights with the strength of the air cavalry regiment.

In fact, this area of the continent is the North Continent that all the generals of the Sun Never Set felt incredible when they first learned about the situation, to be exact, the Reykjavik City of the North Continent: with the unification of the North Continent by the Vampire Empire, the Mo Forging Race has been driven out of the North Continent and has become a vassal nation of the Sun Never Setting Empire, while the Snow Elves have been reduced to slaves, half of which have become the collection of vampire nobles, and the other half has flowed into some markets of the Sun Never Set Empire, And frequently appear in the red light districts of many large cities in the empire.

As the most useless northern humans, they embarked on a wandering life in the vampire empire for about 2 years: because the vampire empire destroyed Blackbeard's marriage with Alice before these guys, and Sun Lin himself also thought that before accepting it, it was necessary to let the blizzard in the northern continent erase the arrogance of these northern continent humans, and the vampires were not very cold to these northern continent humans themselves, so when all the human countries in the northern continent perished, Although the Vampire Empire did not kill the humans in the Northern Continent among the human countries, it chose to deport them to the depths of the Northern Continent, where the weather was in a state of snowstorm for 20 hours a day.

In the end, after about two years passed, nearly 4/5 of the original Northern Continent humans with more than 2 million people died, and among the remaining 5 Northern Continent humans, some of the brave and extremely lucky Northern Continent people passed through the depths of the Northern Continent and came to the northern region of the Central Continent where at least people could live, while more escaped from the depths of the Northern Continent to the coastal area of the Northern Continent, and finally arrived at the city of Reykjavík, exchanging their future eternal freedom for the Empire on which the sun never sets.

For these people who no longer have the arrogance that the humans of the Northern Continent originally had, the Sun Never Sets Continent is willing to accept these warriors who can become Reykja archers after a short period of training, and this is also for the great empire that the sun never sets can recruit 50,000 Reykya archers who obey the words of the sun from a large city-level Northern Continent city.

And in the continental region of the territory owned by the Sunset Empire, except for Dugu City, which is located in the northeast continent and is still at the small city level, and the Western Regions of the Central Continent, which itself can no longer provide any troops, the number of troops provided is the smallest, but the most elite troops provided are the northwest regions of the Sunset Middle Continent: the Sunset Military Department in this continent received Sun Lin's request that it must provide two heavy infantry regiments of Dick Tomahawk Infantry Regiment and 100 Beamon Behemoths!

Although this request is very exaggerated, it is not impossible to achieve: at present, Sun Lin has upgraded the Beamon Lair to a high-level Beamon Lair, that is, the kind of Beamon Lair that has been attached to the Beamon Behemoth Research Institute. And due to the existence of the Beamon Giant Beast Research Institute, the current basic combat effectiveness and reproduction ability of the Beamon Giant Beast is constantly improving: after the Research Institute let the Beamon Giant Beast eat a moon fruit produced in the Crescent Moon Empire of the Southern Continent of the King Continent and known as the holy fruit of the elf race, it was found that the Beamon Giant Beast that has been used for a long time will mutate, although its size has not changed, but the sharpness and hardness of its claws will surpass the high-grade patterned steel weapons carefully forged by the craftsmen who never set. Of course, the side effect is that the original brown body hair of the Beamon Behemoth has changed to a silver-gray color, and the research institute has also developed an aphrodisiac drug that can make the Beamon Behemoth come into heat.

In this case, coupled with the fact that when the intermediate Beamon Lair is successfully built, the Intermediate Beamon Nest has the ability to accelerate the growth of the Beamon Giant Beast, and this ability is strengthened several times when upgrading to the advanced Beamon Nest, so it is not a problem for the sun to set if you want to get 100 Beamon Beasts, or even 200 or 300 Beamon Beasts.

However, if you want to expand so much and the number of troops equivalent to the strength of an expeditionary force in the New Central Continent, the cost of money is absolutely sky-high, and the same self-construction of the Lower Maginot Line, even if you don't use gold coins and war values to build it, the cost is also sky-high, so when Sun Lin proposed the rough plan of the Lower Maginot Line at the beginning, this plan was affected by the rights of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Western Regions of the Central Continent due to financial problems, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs said, Even if the rest of the empire were to stop the construction of grassroots facilities and urban development, the money saved would not be enough to cover two-thirds of the cost of the Maginot Line.

However, Sun Lin already had a plan for this, and at the same time as proposing the plan for the Maginot Line, Sun Lin also proposed: "Due to the successful development of the improved Mo Forging Crossbow, I have decided that from now on, the Ministry of Commerce of the Sun Never Sets Great Empire has the right to sell the early Mo Forging Crossbow to the allies of the Sun Never Set Great Empire."
