In addition to iterating on the Steam Armored Knights, the Combined Knights also had a secret commission from the old king, which was to create their own air force.

In the battle that just ended, the navy and land of the Kingdom of Rothschild suffered heavy losses and are now temporarily united against the air force.

There is no rush to integrate the navy, because it is foreseeable that the navy will not be a significant part of the next few battles, even if the kingdom will inevitably develop its navy in order to regain the colonies in the future.

The top priority now is not to make the Air Force look special, and it needs to have an Air Force belonging to the King's power to work for it, at least not to let the Air Force seize that it has to rely on them for blackmail.

In this regard, Kirsten was naturally full of confidence, as long as she was not allowed to build that kind of air warship, she would have had her own ideas for the general air force.

Aircraft powered by a red mercury steam engine were soon built, but in order to compete with the steam airships used in the Air Force, Kirsten had to redesign an aircraft powered by an internal combustion engine.

This kind of aircraft is controlled by a single person, although it can only carry two small cannons and one aerial bomb, but this can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of our forces' dependence on the air force.

More research will be done in the future, but the next path is a different path than the mainstream air warships.

This is not Kirsten's concern, anyway, even if he creates this air force himself, it is bound to be impossible to convert it into his own power, which requires a lot of money, and what his side lacks the most is funds.

It's better to have the army, and the army has more people and spends less money.

The technical content of the air force is not high, not as high as the knight, and Ferlian Vinoer has more control over the army, so now the main goal is to take the army.

Since the Army has recently formed an Army Air Force, the dialogue with the Air Force has naturally become more hardened.

The traditional Air Force has no way of understanding why those small planes can give the Army the confidence to do so.

In fact, army officers did not have much confidence, just because this kind of aircraft has been proven to be able to support the ground and defend against the enemy's drones in the air, at least not as an ornament, and it can replace some of the tasks of the traditional air force by relying on the number of them, right?

The Army Department soon began training the new Air Force, and the gap was first replenished from the Holy Country, and some professional pilots of the Holy Country were exchanged for personnel and supplies.

In a short period of time, the army has set up an aviation brigade with a total of 200 pilots and more than 400 warplanes, and has opened up a field airfield on the front line for their use.

With the operation of the war machinery of the Kingdom of Rothier, a steel defense line has been built near the fortress of the Supreme Lighthouse, and the reinforced concrete fortress is not thick enough, and the outermost layer is frantically equipped with steel plate armor.

In addition to the steel armor, the important buildings are also equipped with the protection of the alchemy matrix, and it can be said that all the defenses that can be added are added.

In order to strengthen the anti-armor capabilities of the infantry, the kingdom of Rothschild developed a bazooka, and almost one soldier on the front line.

In addition to these, there are remotely controllable turrets, machine gun turrets that can be used to reduce casualties, and more sturdy bomb craters have been built in the trenches to prepare for enemy artillery scrubbing.

Originally, all those seaside towns were requisitioned, the houses were demolished and built into special war fortresses, and in order to improve the dispatch ability of the headquarters, steam pipes, internal communication systems, and differential machine auxiliary systems were added to the fortifications of the defense line.

The beach was covered with barricades, and the coastal waters were full of mines, and even the command could not count the location of each mine and the total number of them.

The people in the logistics department can only pray for the spirit lord to bless the damn robots to trigger all the mines, otherwise the aftermath will be a heavy and dangerous task.

The Supreme Lighthouse Fortress also increased the number of coastal guns, allowing the enemy fleet to suffer greater landing casualties.

There are a total of 45 divisions in the theater, of which 10 are armored divisions, 15 are mechanized infantry divisions, 5 all-terrain combat vehicle divisions, and 15 traditional infantry divisions.

In addition to this, there are fifteen divisions ready to support the front line at any time, which can be counted as reserve troops.

The central cities leading to the front line in the rear were also completely renovated, with more railway stations, warehouses, airfields, tank repair plants and barracks for soldiers being built, while civilian facilities were retained only for the corresponding personnel.

In the second week after the South Loya Empire stopped its offensive, the Rothel Kingdom reconnaissance fleet discovered the South Loya Empire's attacking vanguard fleet.

The navy immediately responded by setting up layers of blocking nets to intercept the enemy, sealing the port, and bringing all port defense units into combat readiness.

The coastal defense line was also quickly prepared, and the newly created air force began to conduct regular patrols of the coastal airspace, and the defenders began to prepare for battle.

The construction of the 320 mm heavy guns on the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress has been completed, ready to deliver heavy blows to Imperial ships that come within range of fire.

The soldiers on the steel line also immediately opened their arsenals and armed themselves with various equipment, and the field hospitals in the rear began to requisition white bedding and pillows.

。

Now we turn our attention to the South, where the war was not very intense.

Since this was once the last place of resistance of the Anti-Spiritual Alliance, it was naturally impossible for the Holy Kingdom to retain the ability to continue to resist itself after completely eliminating those forces that rebelled against it.

So in the years that followed, the Holy Kingdom used various means to try to make the countries of the South a nation without an army.

Until now, because the Holy Kingdom no longer cares about this place, the southern countries have to start facing the ancient threat, the attack of strange things.

The southern states without an army can only gather some elite police, the personal bodyguards of the nobles, and some mercenaries to form a joint army to fight the strange things.

Of course, it is difficult for such an army to achieve great things, but it can only rely on them in the early stage.

In addition to forming a combined army, the countries of the South knew that it would not be possible to raise an army from their own people in a short period of time capable of fighting a tough battle, so their ruling class sought military support from the Duchy of Dunlin and Gaul while struggling to build their own army.

The Duchy of Gaul needed to fight against the Southern Loya Empire together with the Kingdom of Rothsier, so it only sent a reinforcement force consisting of four infantry divisions, and the Duchy of Dunling cherished this opportunity.

To this end, they sent an army of sixty men from twenty divisions to the front line where the southern nations were fighting against the strange creatures.

The soldiers, dressed in bright blue uniforms, soon attracted the admiration of the girls of the southern countries.

Anyone who has stayed in a place with too much artistic atmosphere for a long time will also take a different look at those masculine warriors, even if they are not very handsome and their status is not very noble.

So something happened that was a matter of course, and the rotten life of the southern aristocracy had long been known to everyone in Middle-earth, and the soldiers were not surprised, and everything happened so smoothly.

It wasn't until the daughter of a great Southern nobleman was found out by her father that the matter had to be brought to the conference table. After all, he is a big nobleman, and no matter how messy he is, he should not come with a lowly soldier.

So the Duchy of Dunling made a deal with this great nobleman, making the soldier a nobleman, and randomly found a down-and-out but ancient family to serve as his successor.

This matter should have been done in secret, and in the end it would not have been known by too many people, but I just didn't know that because there was a problem in that link, this matter was spread.

And it is becoming more and more outrageous in the spread of some soldiers.

Good guys, the vast majority of soldiers who heard about this thought that they were fighting hard with their heads on the battlefield, at most they could only obtain a knight title, and the luckiest one could only obtain a knight title that could be passed down from the times It is the lowest noble.

Now tell them that they can become a nobleman even if they sleep with the daughter of a southern nobleman? How can this be without yourself?

Whether it's true or not, these soldiers are going to give it a try.

This led to an inexplicable conflict between the army of the Duchy of Dunling and the southern countries. In the end, the Duchy of Dunlin had to be forced to switch from direct military support to indirect support, that is, the provision of weapons, supplies and training, due to the joint announcement issued by the two sides of the Holy Civil War.

After this accident, the southern countries also realized from a strange aspect that they could only rely on their own strength, so they could only use iron-blooded means to let the combined army fight with new recruits.

This inevitably led to some recruits being used as cannon fodder, but most of them still experienced the baptism of war.

In this way, after paying the price of tens of thousands of casualties, the countries of the South finally controlled the onslaught of the strange objects, sealing them off in several huge fortresses.

Of course, the war in the south did not end there, this is the backyard of the other faction of the Holy Kingdom, they naturally hope that a unified country will appear in the south to provide support for themselves, so after secret discussions with the Duchy of Dunling, the puppet plan to support the southern countries to conquer the rest of the countries began.

Soon the South was also in the middle of war, and because of the small number of soldiers, it was only natural to call in more soldiers. The high number of recruits in the army leads to more unbelievable things on the battlefield.

If politics is just a game at the top, then war is a social redistribution in which those at the bottom are fortunate enough to participate. The longer the peace and tranquility becomes, the more complicated the fighting that breaks out.

They know a lot about power, but they don't know much about real war.

Today a nobleman may raise an army to rebel, and tomorrow the person who is not in a good mood will raise his arms and call for dozens of fellow villagers to rush into the government department and announce the change of government.

For a moment, both the Holy Kingdom and the Duchy of Dunling were overwhelmed by this chaotic situation. After a period of chaos, the countries of the South gradually understood the war, and the ruling classes of each country began to use iron and blood to control their own countries and calm the unstable factors.

Only then did the two foreign forces who came to their senses feel that everything was still in their own cognition, so they began to select agents with certain ambitions.
