Cui Wenxiu fell into deep thought, the current chain reaction has not yet been transmitted to the Indorian war situation, but I believe that it will not be long before the Luzon people will be busy, and how many troops will be maintained by the Luzon people in the land of South Indean remains to be seen before a conclusion can be drawn, but Cui Wenxiu believes that it is impossible for Frederick and Crouff to maintain the current number of troops in South Indean, and it is already an extreme number to maintain about 200,000 troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

200,000 troops sounds like a lot, but it is a little difficult to maintain the current unstable South India Dean, once the negotiations between his side and the Hansen Alliance are implemented, then there will be about 200,000 infantry that can be freed up, plus two or two ranger regiments, and there are also four ranger regiments formed by the Luope people, the strength is already completely capable of fighting a full-scale war, not to mention that His Majesty also has the intention of sending the Tiger Guard Legion and the Eleventh Army here in his letter, then the total number of troops that can be controlled by himself will exceed 800,000, accounting for almost half of the total strength of the empire, this is undoubtedly a special honor for a general who commands troops abroad, which is enough to prove the degree of trust that His Majesty the Emperor has in him.

But Cui Wenxiu doesn't think so, it is not easy to command such a huge army, especially since most of the troops sent here are the original second-line troops, like the four ranger regiments of the Luope people are all recruited from the nomadic tribes of East Tengger County, not completely transferred from the original Luope people's main rangers, most of them are novices on the road and need to be honed urgently; However, after a long period of experience of a comfortable life, the fighting strength of the original army has long since disappeared, and the prestige and murderous aura of the original army when the army was founded has long been gone, except for the strength of the divisions and regiments of Huangfu Tiancheng, which is still unexpectedly strong, and several other divisions and regiments even Huangfu Tiancheng himself have to admit that the combat effectiveness still needs to be improved; the 11 th Army Corps should be said to be worth mentioning in terms of the composition of the troops, after all, they are all composed of some veterans who can fight habitually, but this has also become a burden for it, and it is even more difficult to blend this elite force selected from the surrendered army into a group, which is even more difficult than training a new army, especially the requirements for middle and senior officersA group of officers who are difficult to convince can never train this army into a real hero, and the newly appointed Mu Lige may face such a problem.

In this case, Cui Wenxiu even had some doubts about whether His Majesty the Emperor intended to push these troops onto the battlefield of Indean, on the one hand, it was for training, and on the other hand, it was also to reduce the pressure on the empire's finances, the consumption of this 800,000 army a year was an astronomical amount, and if it was rich again, if it really wanted it to bear this expense, I am afraid it would have to plan well, and all the departments of the Indean Kingdom have not yet rightfully attached themselves to the empire, and if they want to willingly pay such a huge amount of expenses for the imperial army, it will take some work。

Cui Wenxiu doesn't like the taste of Indean black tea very much, but its rich flavor can keep a clear mind for a long time, Cui Wenxiu prefers to taste this kind of strong black tea during working hours, and it is more suitable for the famous green tea of the empire in his spare time.

The crisis of the Luzon people is coming, and it is not only on the battlefield of Indo-Luzon, the East Luzon issue is estimated that Frederick should have some plans, but he probably did not expect that the Pasha people would reconcile with the peninsular alliance so quickly, so that the Luzon people are only afraid that the idea of resolving the East Luzon issue after stabilizing the situation between Comini and South Indo-Dean will only be delayed indefinitely, hoping that this guy Gillette can seize this opportunity, maybe it is time for him to appropriately increase his military investment in East Luzon and Pamir, so that he may be able to create better conditions for the upcoming battle of South Indo-Dean。

Gillette stood proudly at the head of the city, looking down at the people who were busy on the land like ants, although there was still a long way to go before a city was formed, but the pride of being able to witness a new city appear under his feet was enough to show off to future generations.

The road construction from Liushan Taizi to here takes up too much labor, which makes Gillette very regretful, and the construction speed of this upcoming central city of East Luzon has also slowed down a lot, but this is necessary, the road is not smooth, and all the projects in the later period will be seriously restricted, which Gillette is still clear, but because of this, it has affected the construction of this new city or makes Gillette can't help but sigh.

The lack of sufficient labor force has become the biggest problem that plagues Gillette and Pei Yuanfeng, a senior staff member of the Northern Luzon Governor's Office who was sent here by Kong Yunzhen to be responsible for the construction of Kuiyangfu City, the news from Beiyuan County and Yanyun County that the recruitment of immigrants in the north of the empire is going quite smoothly, and the fertile soil that can provide a large amount of wasteland here is more attractive to landless farmers than their nostalgia for their hometown, it is said that more than 100,000 farmers have signed up at the immigration recruitment points in the two counties, and have begun to move to North Luzon in an organized manner, but after all, there is a process, and these immigrants have not been able to reach here in a short time, let alone become the labor force that Gillette and Pei Yuanfeng crave, and they had to continue to wait.

Gillette is not a political officer, he is more concerned about the construction of the city, the Luzon people will not always turn a blind eye to the East Luzon side, now they have to take a defensive position because of the limitation of strength, but as soon as the situation between Comini and South India is stabilized, the Luzon army will continue to advance eastward, and if he does not have a solid rear base, it will inevitably be quite passive, and to establish a reliable rear base, the city fortress is indispensable, which is why he is even more eager than Pei Yuanfeng。

Gillette was not confined to the initial restraints, and the Luzon were clearly unable to respond more to their extended offensive, especially after their raids had been completely broken by themselves, and their commanders took a more conservative approach, and the army was almost reluctant to take another step outward, except for the fifty miles around Manlon, even when Gillette was deliberately showing weakness, much to Gillette's regret. With the support of expansion, he has quietly moved the location of Kuiyangfu City to the south for more than ten miles, the location here is more suitable, by the mountains and rivers, a stream passes by the city, and the location of the dam between the hills is also more suitable for urban construction, from here you can overlook the southeast town of Luzon Semarang, the two places are only 160 miles away.

When the news of the defeat in the southwest of the empire came from the Di Bao, Gillette also realized his opportunity, the Luzon people will be more held back by their old enemies to the south, the Pashas, then it seems that his own steps should be bigger, and the future East Luzon territory is more solid, especially when Cui Wenxiu's idea of ending the West Indo-German campaign was introduced to the commanders of the various divisions in the theater, Gillette deepened his own thoughts, if the Luzon people were unwilling to withdraw their troops from South India, then he could make them pay a greater price in this area。

Pei Yuanfeng didn't think as much as the general Gillette beside him, as the organizer sent here by the governor, he also knew that if he did a good job, maybe the next position of the city guard of Kuiyang Mansion was waiting for him, and now all this seemed to be gradually becoming a reality with his own efforts night and night. Nominally, he is a senior staff member of the Governor's Office, but the name of the senior staff is not specified in the imperial official system, but is called a political staff officer, which can only be regarded as an ordinary official in the local political axe system, and even the deployment directors at the provincial level are not as good, at least this level of officials The Imperial Government Council has already filed with it.

Pei Yuanfeng very much hopes that this opportunity can become the cornerstone of his career to take off, all of which depends on his own performance, so while he is trying his best to maintain a good relationship with the garrison, he is also actively planning how to make this land as prosperous as other prefectures and counties as soon as possible. He had already mobilized all the connections available to him to start attracting businessmen to invest in East Luzon, urging the surveying and mapping officials to measure and plan the arable wasteland as soon as possible, waiting for the immigrants to start production as soon as they arrived; the road project from Liushantaizi to Fucheng was his lifeblood, and he slept on the construction site of this road almost half of the time, and even the officials at all levels below had to admit that the style of this unremarkable preparation supervisor was something they had never seen before.

The survey and mapping of large tracts of barren mountains is also carried out in an orderly manner, what makes Pei Yuanfeng excited is that under his own encouragement and invitation, several large plantation owners in Vito Province have begun to show interest in this area, tea mountains and rubber plantations are the beautiful prospects outlined by Pei Yuanfeng, the soil quality and climate here are undoubtedly the best growing places for these two cash crops, and the only thing lacking is labor and investment, and when immigrants arrive, it will become a new hot land for business, Pei Yuanfeng firmly believes.

With the establishment of the empire, the change of the official selection system has made many officials who were unable to stand out under the official selection system of the Tang River Empire begin to emerge in the local area, they have enthusiasm, talent and more pursuit and **, it is the dynamic selection mechanism of the empire that allows them to have a place to use, imperceptibly, moisturizing things silently, and this little change has converged into the empire's current name.
