The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Garden, the Royal Hunting Ground, and the Artificial Lake are all available. Although the scale of the building is slightly inferior to that of the Grand Palace of Constantine. But the actual cost is still excessive. And it's even more polished. The entire complex is in the Baroque style.

The exterior decoration is extremely gorgeous. It's like a dream. The interior of the palace is decorated with curtains made of precious gold, jewelry, porcelain, majolica, silk and other precious fabrics.

Of course, these things are all ancillary products of the palace in the system setting, and they can't be sold outside. It can only be pretended.

On top of that, what made Egir even more excited was the furnishings of Aurora's bedroom, which he had been looking at for a long time, especially the large velvet bed. This time, I also have my own room. A gleeful Egil rolled around on the bed with Artoria in his arms for a long time before he finished the calculation.

Of course, such a large palace complex needs a lot to maintain its normal operation, even if it is only calculated by counting the more than 800 Tang maids, the annual salary of the maids is in the thousands. In addition to this, the cost of food, and utensils, added up, the annual cost of maintaining the palace ranged from 5,800 to 6,500 gold coins. It's comparable to the salary of a Viking warrior in a team of three or four thousand.

But it's all worth it. Maybe before that Egil can suffer a little. It doesn't matter if you live in a pigsty or a barracks or just a whitewashed house. But now, Egil is the emperor, the emperor the emperor, the emperor...... Even if it can't be compared with the poor and extravagant monarchs of the East, or even with the Sultan Nonglifa of the Middle East. But you have to have a face.

The turtles of the Holy Roman Empire are not considered.

After changing the working environment, I sat in the study with large floor-to-ceiling windows, which was well-lit but not dazzling. Egil felt that his mind was much quicker. Transactions are processed a lot faster. Originally, when he was in Brandenburg, the program for reforming the army of about 70 percent had already been completed, but it was finally completed in the last few days. And according to this plan, Egil was convinced that his army could become the most powerful in the whole world.

The entire military reform regulations were formally written on 11 March, and were published the next day, 12 March.

According to the regulations of the Military Reform, the whole of the Norman Empire was divided into three major military districts: the Western Military District, which included England and Brittany, and Normandy, the Central Military District, which included all of Scandinavia, and North Saxony, and the Eastern Military District, which included New Scandinavia, Livonia, Prussia, and Pomerania.

The Western Military Region is aimed at France, or it may also be Burgundy, although now Norman and Burgundy are quasi-allies, while the Central Military Region is obviously aimed at only one target, that is, the strongest country on the European continent in the traditional sense, the Holy Roman State.

Compared with the other two, the Eastern Military District, which has a bit more enemies to face. Lithuania, the Polish Autonomous Government, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Zaporozhye Khanate, the Eastern Roman Empire, and even more recently, the royal caravans sent by Egil brought the news that the Cumans were ...... I don't know what they think. But the truth is that they have already come. And with a large number of troops, they kept rushing towards the west. Their vanguard was already engaged in war with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, as well as with the Zaporozhye Khanate. Perhaps this is why the Muscovite principality, the ambitious female grand guild, so easily agreed to Artoria's harsh terms of peace.

These guys aren't good men and women. The Grand Duchy of Moscow, needless to say, was already at war with the Norman Empire twice in a row. And it's bigger and bigger each time. They have an advanced military system. There were ambitious leaders who wanted to open up territories, fierce northern Rus', and Slavic warriors. Egil was sure that, if nothing else, there would be another war between him and the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

And Lithuania, not to mention this, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Egil was the first to destroy the girl when he freed his hand. ,

The Zaporozhye Khanate, to let this, the shameful state of the tragic Cossack hooligans, exist on this earth, is simply an insult to God. It's not because they occupy the Crimean peninsula, the strategically important outlet to the Black Sea, that they want to fight them!

Eastern Rome, needless to say, the whole of Europa is too small. There is no room for two overlords.

So Egil's desire to make Eastern Europe his dragon prosper seems to be a problematic one......

The specific setup of the three major military regions is a little more complicated. Because Egil is completely at ease with the others, it is said that the commander of the military district, or the governor, or this and that, the commander-in-chief is not set up, and the actual commander of the three military regions is still only one...... "That is the holy and great Agir Majesty." The setting of the military region only added three more titles to Egil's hat: commander-in-chief of the eastern, central, and western military regions. That's it.

And the military strength of the individual military districts is as follows: the Western Military District, the British Isles in the north, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are not left alone. Because that's the territory of Northwest Britain. Nowadays, those places, though largely influenced by the Empire. However, in the rural areas, the conservative feudal system was still practised. And the officials who served in the various cities, although nominally loyal to Artoria. But in fact, it was all exchanged by Egil through the system, or recruited from universities and institutions, and then recommended to his wife. So who is really inclined in the heart...... I can't go into too much detail about this.

In England, the original garrison had been transferred to Britney. In Britain proper, there was no longer a regular army, only a small number of second-line militia units. These militia units train in their spare time, and make peace when they are busy with farming, so they do not delay both. There are no maintenance costs.

To the north-west of France, the two regions bordering Burgundy and France, Normandy and Britney, each had a complete garrison of 5,500 regular troops. They were commanded by General John and General James.

Central Military District. Throughout Scandinavia, there were also no regular armies, of course, as a local, as well as a gathering place for the Normans. Tens of thousands of elite reservists can be pulled out of Scandinavia at any given moment. With the right equipment and a little training, they can become qualified hoplites.

In southern Saxony, Egil also recruited the first civilian general, Sulla, from the university. This military academy general has higher command attributes than other generals, and the knowledge of ballistics, architecture and engineering that he systematically learned in the military academy also makes him a tiger in urban defense operations. The fly in the ointment is that this nerdy general has a somewhat weak physique, and is not suitable for personally participating in the battle at the front of the array.

But that's not too important. Egil doesn't need him to be on the front lines either.

In fact, all Egil needed was that he could secure Hamburg, the bridgehead of the Holy Roman Empire, the largest and best fortress in North Germany. For this, Egil gave him more than half the army of the other garrison generals...... A total of 8,500 elite soldiers trained in Oslo, of which 1,000 were professional cavalrymen and 1,500 were giant shield crossbowmen armed with the latest pulley crossbows. The remaining 1,000 were Norman infantry...... This classic elite hoplite after the second reform.

Egil and his knights and commanders had done many exercises. They found that if there was a full-scale war between the Norman Empire and Germany, the other side would gather all the forces of the entire country to attack. Then the cities of Lübeck and Bremen could not be defended in any way.

However, it is a bit more than worth it to completely fortify them. So Egil finally made a decision. No development funds will be invested in these two cities for the time being. Instead, it was to develop the fortress of Hamburg with all its might. As long as at the beginning of the war, it is a victory to ensure that Hamburg is not lost, and the 1,000 cavalry under Sula Nunnery can also enter the opponent's territory at this stage to destroy. Further delay the advance of the enemy army. In order to make it easier for the empire to calmly deploy counterattack forces.

This is the specific situation of the central Lan district. In the Eastern Military District, this problem is further complicated: as the one that faces the most enemies, the Eastern Military District has significantly more troops than the other two. The three old garrison generals, the former Scandinavian defender, the current Pomeranian garrison general Andersen, the Prussian garrison Hans, and the Livornian garrison Ivan all had a complete corps in their hands. The Second Cavalry Corps under General Qi Teng, which was formed last year, patrolled back and forth in these places as a mobile force.

The Second Cavalry Legion, after being replenished and restructured, had a total of 2,000 melee cavalry and 2,000 lightly armed cavalry. Extremely combative. And General Ziten was also trusted by Egil and gave him the right to be arbitrary. That is, to a certain extent. With 4,000 elite light cavalry, General Qi Teng can wage some skirmishes on his own. Plundering of various bandits and nomadic tribes in southern Poland, Ukraine. Or take the initiative in the event of a war with one of the countries of the East...... ）
