Chapter 346: The Golden Horn of the Tower, Easy to Defend and Difficult to Attack
The Kingdom of Simon is a coastal country, the geographical area of the country is not large, but the economy is very developed, and there are many wealthy people. After all, along the coast, there is also a large river leading to the inland, and the water transportation is very convenient, which is suitable for business.
However, the military strength of the Simon Kingdom is very poor, and it even needs to outsource its defense to the Sky Wolf Empire.
Of course, smart people know that it's not that the Kingdom of Simon doesn't attach importance to military affairs, it's that he doesn't dare.
After all, a small country with only three million people, still so close to the Sky Wolf Empire, how could it dare to resist the will of the Sky Wolf Empire.
So their national defense is contracted by the Sky Wolf Empire, and they only have the police in the country, not the army.
But there are losses and gains.
Although his defense was outsourced, he was also protected by the Celestial Wolf Empire. Some of the surrounding countries that were much larger than Simon's kingdom did not dare to trouble him. This allows the people of Simon's kingdom to do business with confidence and boldness.
I heard that the commercial taxes of the Simon Kingdom are quite high, and some of these taxes go into the treasury, and the other part is used to pay for national defense.
After coming to the Simon Kingdom, Luo Yin felt that the reason why the Sky Wolf Empire contracted the defense of the Simon Kingdom should not only be a matter of money, but also because the Simon Kingdom was the mouth of the Erm River.
The Rum River is even bigger than Royin thought, it is a deep, wide and beautiful river, which can accommodate many boats in parallel.
And most importantly, the Rum River is very long, it passes through many countries, and it is the most important water transport hub in these countries.
To some extent, the control of the Erm River controls an important external route for those countries.
If nothing else, let's just say that the toll through the Erm River is a lot of money.
Ten years ago, the toll of the Rum River was collected by the Celestial Wolf Empire, because this outlet of the Rum River was rented by the Celestial Wolf Empire.
However, when the rent expired, the Celestial Wolf Empire returned the Rum River. Now it's the people of Simon's kingdom who come to collect the tolls.
Three warships flying the flag of the Sky Wolf Empire slowly sailed into the mouth of the Erm River, although there were no cannons on the battleship, the shape of this ship was indeed a genuine battleship.
Therefore, when entering the Erm River, some merchant ships that were queuing up to enter hurriedly gave way and let the warships of the Sky Wolf Empire go first.
On the ship, Luo Yin didn't expect to hang the flag of the Sky Wolf Empire, and there was even preferential treatment for cutting in line.
In the past, when warships traveled, they flew the flag of the United Kingdom of Stokato. Passing through other countries will only make them a little nervous, but there is no such preferential treatment.
But now, seeing the situation where other ships got out of the way one after another and let themselves pass first, Luo Yin couldn't help but sigh:
"It's still the reputation of the Sky Wolf Empire!"
Of course, his ship is not a Sky Wolf Empire warship, but Luo Yin is doing business with the Sky Wolf Empire in the name of Iris Company, and there are legal procedures on the side of the Sky Wolf Empire.
Although it is somewhat outrageous to do business with warships, this is a matter for the United Kingdom of Stokato, and no one cares about it, and others naturally don't bother with it. As long as the battleship identifies itself when it enters the territory of the Sky Wolf Empire, and unloads the cannon or something, there is no problem.
….
To put it simply, although these ships of the Iris Company are warships, their identities are actually merchant ships.
Therefore, Luo Yin hung the flag of the Sky Wolf Empire, and he was not pretending to be the *** team of the Sky Wolf Emperor. Iris Company does business with two countries, isn't it normal to carry two national flags? I didn't use the Sky Wolf Empire Navy Flag.
They admit that they are wrong, it is their business, and it has nothing to do with Iris.
But Luo Yin obviously still underestimated the influence of the Sky Wolf Empire.
The ships at sea took the initiative to let Luo Yin cut in line, and more importantly, the Simon Kingdom didn't even charge tolls.
After seeing these warships with the flag of the Sky Wolf Empire, which were indeed produced by the Sky Wolf Empire Company, they were directly allowed to go.
Not to mention collecting tolls, or even registering.
The three warships swaggered into the Rum River, almost without pause.
Tolls are small sums of money, but this attitude is very refreshing.
The name of the Sky Wolf Empire is still easy to use!
Luo Yin felt that he had to borrow more of the name of the Sky Wolf Empire when he turned around, it was not this kind of fox and fake tiger power, it was really related to the Sky Wolf Empire......
After entering the Rum River, the battleship did not leave directly, but stopped at a pier.
Before the ship could be stopped, someone came to greet him, it was from the Kingdom of Simon.
They respectfully asked if they needed help.
Luo Yin did not get off the ship, but sent his men over and told them that the fleet was waiting for someone and would leave within one to five hours. At the same time, his subordinates brought the pass of the Ministry of Defense to let them take a look, although it was okay not to show it, but after all, the green pothos company was performing the mission of the Ministry of Defense for the first time, so it was better to be regular.
The Ministry of Defense's commission is not just a lot of money and a lot of money. What's more, there are a lot of mission-related accommodations that you can apply for, such as...... A temporary pass given by the Ministry of Defence.
During the mission, Luo Yin represented the Ministry of Defense of the Sky Wolf Empire, and the countries near the Erm River gave him face.
As for how much face to give, it depends on the prestige of the Sky Wolf Empire.
It seems not bad now, at least Simon Kingdom is very sensible.
After Luo Yin said that he would stay for a while, the people of the Simon Kingdom immediately emptied the dock and divided an area where entry was prohibited, and sent a few people to guard the perimeter, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.
There are not many people guarding the perimeter, but what is given is an attitude.
Although Luo Yin didn't need it, he didn't refuse the kindness of others.
And on the ship, the other companies and mercenary group members who saw all this looked at the people of the Green Pothos Company with even more awe.
It is worthy of being a company entrusted by the Ministry of Defense, which can make people give face like this!
In fact, they misunderstood, mainly due to the problem of the warship, which made the people of Simon Kingdom think that this was the regular army of the Sky Wolf Empire. That's why they behave so flatteringly.
If they knew that this was just a small private military company, they might be respectful, but they certainly wouldn't be so flattering.
However, Luo Yin didn't explain, so it's good to let them misunderstand.
The people of the mercenary group had contacted their people outside in advance, and those people had been waiting here for a long time.
said that it would take one to five hours, but in fact, it only made Luo Yin wait for half an hour.
….
After the weapons and equipment were delivered, under the envious eyes of those who sent them, the three battleships left the dock.
There are many countries that the Rum River passes through, and for each country it passes, there is a toll to be paid.
It's just that Luo Yin's battleship was flying the flag of the Sky Wolf Empire, and it was unimpeded all the way.
On the second and a half days of departure, Luo Yin finally arrived at his next destination.
This is a country called Palan, and Luo Yin docked the ship at the port here, which originally required trading coins to stop the ship. But obviously, the people in the port also regarded Luo Yin and them as the regular army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, and no one came to ask for the parking fee.
But there is no need to save this money, after all, someone needs to watch the ship, and you can't let people work in vain.
Luo Yin gave the people in the port a sum of money, not much, only three thousand wolf coins. This is the market price. Let them help watch the boat and not allow anyone to come close. If you stay too long, go back and give them another sum of money.
These people were suddenly pleasantly surprised, serving the army of the Sky Wolf Empire, isn't it a daily job? They even tipped!
Then you have to serve these old men well!
Regardless of the careful thinking of these people, Luo Yin took more than a thousand people and got off the ship in a mighty way, there were already many cars waiting in the port, this is the people of the Falcon Company.
Although no one knew anyone, after showing the relevant documents and confirming the identities of the two parties, Luo Yin's group got into the car one after another.
It will take another half a day to get to Tajinjiao.
Although Luo Yin didn't want to take the car, the Erm River did not pass through Tajinjiao, so he could only take the land route.
So, in this half a day, Luo Yin was tortured
Enough to choke.
Because these are military vehicles, there is no comfort to speak of. Although Luo Yin didn't squeeze into the big trucks with the mercenaries, it was very uncomfortable for these small cars to sit for a long time.
Luo Yin hadn't been so uncomfortable for a long time, and the last time it seemed to be before he met the dwarves?
Luo Yin suddenly felt that he should not bring Janet over, it would not be so uncomfortable with her massage.
Before nightfall, the destination is finally reached.
This is the fifteenth arrondissement of Ta King Point and one of the places where the Falcon Company is stationed.
The division of Tajinjiao is based on numbers, and the central area is a district, which expands outward in a circle.
So, if you just look at the numbers, the 32nd district seems to be quite far from the 15th district, but in fact, the two districts are adjacent. It is nothing more than the 15th district is inside, and the 32nd district is outside.
District 15 is much larger than District 32, and it is home to not only the Falcon Company, but also two other companies. If you don't count the government forces at Tajinhorn, there are tens of thousands of fighters from these private military companies alone.
The reason why there are so many people is that the area is large and more importantly, there are many mines here.
Some of the mines belong to the merchants of the Celestial Wolf Empire.
Although the other part of the mine belongs to Tajinjiao, it needs to pay a part of the management fee to the Sky Wolf Empire - this is not public, this is what Richard told Luo Yin in private.
So there have to be people stationed here, and they need to make sure that the mine can be mined smoothly.
Luo Yin met Freeman, the head of the Falcon Branch, a cow orc with muscular bumps, much stronger than ordinary orcs.
….
After he saw Luo Yin, he was very happy. He said that the logistics of the Falcon Company have prepared for Luo Yin, and Luo Yin and the others can rest here in the Falcon Company at night, and then go to the 32nd District to fight during the day, anyway, the two areas are adjacent to each other, which is very convenient.
As for the other supplies, needless to say, they have already been prepared.
If Luo Yin still needs anything, go directly to him Freeman and promise to make arrangements for Luo Yin clearly.
Luo Yin was very satisfied with the service attitude of the Falcon Group and felt that the 500,000 yuan a month was worth it.
Freeman didn't know Luo Yin before, and even if he didn't know Luo Yin's specific identity now, he only knew that Luo Yin was the boss of the pothos company.
But he knows one thing, and that is that his boss tells him that the owner of the pothos company is a billionaire! And he has a good relationship with the big boss of his own company.
The news of the billionaire alone was enough for Freeman to warm up to Luo Yin. Not to mention that Luo Yin also has a good relationship with their big boss.
However, Freeman is a person who pays attention to efficiency, and he has always stayed with Luo Yin, and after introducing everything that should be introduced, he left.
Luo Yin took a large group of dirt buns that had never seen the world and entered a large three-story building.
This is the residence left by the Falcon Company for Luo Yin, which is enough to accommodate more than a thousand people.
The people from the Falcon Company live next door, and the logistics are also next to it, so Luo Yin can get whatever he needs, which is very convenient.
Luo Yin briefly visited the Falcon Company, and I have to say that the big companies are different.
It's like a military base. Except that the land is rented, everything else is owned by the Falcon Company.
Not far away there is a city and a few small towns, all of which are under the shelter of the Falcon Company.
It's quiet and peaceful, not like a war zone.
But if you look into the distance, you will occasionally notice some bright lights and some small rumbling sounds.
It was the movement of a gunpowder explosion.
Takinghorn is a war-torn country – in fact, this is the case in many small countries, especially those with certain resources, where wars are commonplace.
If it weren't for Luo Yin, maybe the United Kingdom of Stokato would have fought with the Kingdom of Sott.
War is not a distant word. It's also the Sky Wolf Empire
Only within the borders of such a large empire can peace be maintained for a long time.
Luo Yin took a look at the basic information about Tajin Horn shared by the Falcon Company, and then called everyone for a night meeting.
Now that it's here, let's do it quickly. Have a good night's rest today and start the action tomorrow.
Luo Yin didn't have an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of his group, so he set a relatively conservative goal - to win the thirty-second district within a month.
In Luo Yin's opinion, a month is already a long time, after all, it is said that the terrain of District 32 is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and these terrains must be given some respect.
However, others didn't think so, and those people from the small company and the mercenary group suddenly looked serious when they saw Luo Yin's goal for the next month, and felt that this would be a tough battle.
There are not as many people as there are, and they are not familiar with the terrain, and they have to solve the battle within a month...... Isn't this a tough battle?
But they didn't worry too much, after all, there was a falcon company to provide logistics services, and if they really wanted to fight, they could still withdraw, which was the biggest guarantee.
Early the next morning, Luo Yin took people and drove the Falcon Company's car to District 32.
Most of the 32nd District was occupied by illegal organizations, but a small part belonged to the government army, and this part of the area was adjacent to the 15th District, so Luo Yin came quickly.
There are only more than 300 people left in the government army, and it is impossible to say that they have run out of ammunition and food, but they also look very miserable, and there are many people who lack arms and legs.
Seeing Luo Yin and the others coming, they suddenly felt like seeing a savior.
Luo Yin didn't talk nonsense with them, and first went to the tower to observe the terrain of District 32.
As far as the eye can see, it's all bare mountains. Although there are no woods, the mountains are winding and undulating, and the ravines in the mountains are criss-crossed, making it easy for Tibetans to be hidden.
This kind of mountainous terrain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.
