Volume 1 Chapter 471 Western and Eastern Group Army

The troops of the Southern Group Army of the Star Emperor Kingdom also slowly moved away from the audience, and Xingzheng once again stood up to Zhu Lai, and said loudly:

"The next troops to be reviewed are the troops to be reviewed by the Western Group Army of the Star Empire.

The establishment of the Western Army and the Star Emperor State initially set up the province of Yiding, the original purpose was to suppress the rebel army of the Silver Moon Empire, which originally belonged to the elves in the west of the Star Emperor State, and later the elves were assimilated by the Star Emperor State, and after the Western Army Group was retained, the main purpose was to defend against the attack of the Longquan Empire on the west coast of the Star Emperor State. ”

With the introduction of Xingzheng, the troops under review of the Western Group Army of the Star Emperor also moved.

Just like Xingzheng said, the main purpose of the Western Army Group of the Star Emperor is to defend against the attack of the Longquan Empire on the west coast of the Star Empire. It's just that because the Longquan Continent is much closer to the east coast of the Dragon God Continent than the west coast, the Western Army Group of the Star Emperor has more sailor corps that tends to be large ships that tend to sail in the ocean.

However, unlike the Southern Group Army of the Star Emperor, the Western Group of the Star Emperor was established with a strategy of dual heart on land and sea, and this army group not only has the best naval division corps in the Star Emperor Kingdom, but also has a powerful army.

Among the troops of the Western Army Groups, the army representatives of the Western Army Group were at the forefront. These armies were dressed in the standard armor of the Star Empire, armed with exaggerated-looking high-carbon steel short knives, and carried the Star Empire's standard recurve bow behind them.

Because the provinces where the Western Army Group is located were originally the territory of the Silver Moon Empire, which belonged to the elves, after the establishment of the Western Army Group, they learned the weapons and equipment of the Silver Moon Empire, and used bows and arrows that were more suitable for local combat as the standard weapons of soldiers. After so many years of continuous development, the standard recurve bow of the Western Army Group has made great progress in all aspects, and it is no exaggeration to say that the archers of the Western Army Group are one of the ace arms of the Star Empire.

And because now the elves have also merged into the Star Emperor Kingdom, and the Western Army is recruiting troops locally, most of the four million people in the Western Army have some elven blood.

The soldiers in between, holding short knives, although they walked in the same positive steps as the previous group army troops, but their every move contained a sense of elegance unique to the elves. But even so, no one will forget how powerful the fighting power of the elves is contained in this elegance.

The infantry was followed by the infantry's large armament.

The western part of the Star Empire is mostly forested and mountainous, so in order to cope with such terrain, the Western Army Group has developed a variety of weapons and equipment.

One of the most typical weapons is the large repeater, which is extremely mobile and especially suitable for use in canyons. In the military exercises of the Western Group Army in previous years, it usually encountered the terrain of the canyon, and the defender only needed to set up four or five large crossbows to block the attacker in the canyon, neither advancing nor retreating.

In addition to large repeater crossbows, in fact, the Western army group has a lot of weapons, but they did not take out those equipment for this military parade. Maybe it's because the Western Army Group adheres to the concept of hiding clumsiness, or maybe they don't need more financial tilt from the military department - after all, the Western Army Group has not encountered a major battle in 180 years, and even the Navy Corps has almost become a tool to clear out pirates.

However, don't underestimate the strength of the Star Emperor's Western Army Naval Division Corps just because it is idle all year round, no matter what, as the only group army with an ocean-going fleet in the Star Emperor's Kingdom, the Western Army still has the ability to fight in the territorial waters of the Longquan Empire.

And because the ocean-going fleet has already been established in a structured way, in fact, the annual financial appropriations of the Western army group are used for the improvement of equipment and the training of the soldiers of the naval division, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the naval division will not be weak.

The sailors of the Western armies wore special armor, which could play a very significant protective role, and was light and flexible, suitable for naval combat missions of the naval divisions. And because the ocean-going ships of the Western Army are stronger and larger than the close defense ships of the Southern Army's naval divisions, the more advanced weapons of the Dragon Society can also be equipped on them.

Behind the soldiers of the Western Army's Naval Division were the special ship models of the Western Army, and the people in the audience could clearly see the weapons and equipment on the models.

In addition to the close-in defense guns, which are more advanced than the close-in defense guns equipped on the ships of the Southern Army's naval divisions, they also have cannons applied to their ships, and even two-mounted and three-mounted main guns can be seen on giant ships.

These new ships should have officially entered the battle sequence of the Western Group Army of the Star Emperor in recent years or in the past ten years, after all, the Dragon Society only launched the "Support the Past" plan more than ten years ago, and after handing over these technical equipment to the Star Emperor State, it will take a lot of time for the Star Emperor to digest before the technology can be transformed into equipment.

However, the troops of the Western Group Army were seen in front of everyone, and the display of the new ships really represented the strength of the Western Group Army, and such a new type of ship had not been seen even in the Longquan Empire, which had developed ship technology.

Under the eyes of everyone, the troops under review of the Western Army Group slowly walked away.

And Xingzheng waited for the discussion in the audience to become much quieter before he spoke: "The next troops of the Eastern Group Army of the Star Emperor State will be reviewed."

The Eastern Army is the main army group of the Star Empire against the Longquan Empire, and has the most powerful coastal defense corps of the Star Empire, as well as the offshore defense fleet.

And because of the financial tilt of the Imperial Court of the Star Empire, the Eastern Naval Division Legion of the Star Imperial Kingdom is now the most powerful fleet of the Star Imperial Kingdom, and even the Imperial Court is about to transform the Eastern Naval Division Legion into an ocean-going fleet. ”

The Eastern Water Division Legion of the Star Emperor Kingdom, in fact, Ren Tianxiang and they had contact with it before - the Water Division Legion of Dragon City was actually subordinate to the Eastern Water Division Legion of the Eastern Group Army of the Star Emperor Kingdom, at that time, in order to prevent Chu Kexuan from launching an attack on Dragon City with the Longquan Empire Water Division, the Dragon City Water Division and the Mincheng Water Division received orders to conduct military exercises off the coast of Dragon City to secretly defend against the movements of the Longquan Empire.

The Eastern Naval Division of the Eastern Group Army set up more than 30 military ports on the eastern coast of the Star Empire, and Dragon City was actually just a medium-sized dock among them. When there is a movement of the Eastern Marine Division, the ships of the Eastern Marine Division will leave the dock and assemble.

Moreover, what Xingzheng said is also true, the Star Emperor is now leaning towards the finances of the Eastern Naval Division, preparing to establish the second ocean-going naval fleet of the Star Empire. There are precedents of Western armies and the technology that the Dragon will provide, and this is not something impossible to achieve.

And now the relationship between the Star Emperor and the Dragon King Empire is becoming increasingly tense, and the imperial court has also received the news that the Dragon King Empire is entrusting the Longquan Empire to build ships to strengthen its own fleet strength, in order to prevent the Dragon King Empire and the Longquan Empire from forming a crushing blow to the sailor fleet of the Star Emperor Kingdom, Emperor Xingheng announced the decision to establish the Eastern Ocean Fleet on top of the imperial court meeting after announcing the wartime regulations.

In fact, this is not that the Star Emperor State ignores the Western Group Army, but it is indeed in terms of geographical location, the Eastern Naval Division Corps has to bear more pressure from the Longquan Empire - the distance between the west coast of the Longquan Empire and the east coast of the Star Emperor can even barely pass through the coastal defense fleet, and the west coast of the Star Emperor wants to reach the east coast of the Longquan Empire, but it must have an ocean fleet.

Moreover, the terrain on the west coast of the Star Empire is complex, and there are only a few places where fleet landings can be carried out, and the defensive pressure on the Western Army Group is very small. Moreover, if the Longquan Empire really wanted to land on the west coast of the Star Empire, then their supply problem would also be a very big problem.

It is also these reasons that have created the current status of the Eastern Group Army, and there is no doubt that the Eastern Group Army has now become the main battle group army of the Star Empire on the same status as the Northwest Group Army and the Northeast Group Army.

The troops of the Eastern Army did not show much equipment to the people in the audience, but only selected soldiers who looked good and walked in a line on the avenue, and even these soldiers were not wearing armor, but only wearing army uniforms, indicating whether they were the army or the navy.

However, Ren Tianxiang was still puzzled by such a situation, but he was suddenly opened by Ren Tianling's explanation.

There is no doubt that the Eastern Group Army of the Star Emperor Kingdom is the main force of the Star Emperor Kingdom against the Longquan Empire, if it shows too much strength and is targeted by the Longquan Empire, it will be a huge loss for the Eastern Group Army.

Now the equipment displayed in the daily training and patrol of the Eastern Group Army is still the equipment that was displayed more than ten years ago when the Dragon Society had not yet started the "support the past" plan, and the weapons and equipment after receiving the technology of the Dragon Society have not been announced - for more than ten years, the Star Emperor has mastered so many Dragon Society technologies, and it is impossible that the new equipment has not been researched.

Then the intention of the Eastern Group Army is actually very obvious - they hide their equipment in order to put huge pressure on the Longquan Empire and the Dragon King Empire after the war starts, and relieve the pressure on the northern border at one time.

If the Eastern Group Army is really about to transform the Eastern Navy Corps into an ocean-going fleet as Xingzheng said, then this fleet can even make a detour to the Longquan Continent and directly attack the weak coastal defense of the Longquan Empire and raid the Longquan Empire itself!
