For the first time, Salama felt powerless. This situation is really an out-and-out dead end, although the soldiers of the Rus Empire are poorly equipped, and their discipline and morale are far inferior to those of the Crimean soldiers, but the number is too much.

If the emperor of the Rus' Empire wanted to, he could even arm more than 30 million soldiers in the country!

Of course, this kind of armament refers to the inclusion of all men from the age of thirteen to seventy, and is only issued with weapons and not responsible for equipment.

The equipment of the knights and squires of the HRE nobles is not simple, they are all wearing well-made plate armor or chain mail, and the worst squires also have plate armor, although the equipment of the farmers is poor, but they can still make up some of the equipment.

The only thing that seems to be easier to solve now is the centaurs, but the speed at which the centaurs come and go like the wind is also a big problem.

"Falong, if you were to solve the centaur problem for the time being, how many men would you need, and how much time would it take?" said Salama.

Falong's eyes lit up, and Shalama was going to take advantage of the surrounding countries not paying attention to the centaurs by surprise. The centaurs are east of the Crimea, and if they are fast enough, they won't be noticed until they are defeated.

"Give me 50,000 cavalry, and I promise to solve all the problems of the centaurs within two months!" Falong said in a big tone, "Don't worry, the veterans we can raise now who have been retired for five years plus those nomadic young men on the border who want to join the army can make up 20,000 people, and they are engaged in herding life even after they are discharged from the army, and their kung fu has not weakened at all." ”

The Crimean implements a conscription system, and although each soldier is a professional soldier, he can choose whether to remain in the army or retire after the expiration of his service period. Even retired veterans have a condition that they will be drafted into the military within five years if they need to, similar to the system practiced in many countries on Earth. When their homeland, the Crimea, was in danger, it was when they, the veterans, came into the scene.

Every veteran is an asset in the army, and they have a wealth of war experience and military skills. The role in the army cannot be ignored, just like a junior officer.

"Two months. "I don't want to eradicate the centaurs, I just want to be able to push the centaurs back so that they don't act rashly, for two months...... I don't know if the situation in the HRE Imperial Kingdom will last for two months, but I don't think there should be much of a problem. Halfa. ”

"In. Khalfa replied.

"How much equipment and horses do we have in stock?" asked Salama.

Since we want to expand the army, how can we do it without equipment.

"Since we had long anticipated such a day, we still have 50,000 sets of cavalry armor in stock. 100,000 sets of infantry armor!" added Halfa, "the weapons are too large, but they are enough to increase the army of 200,000, and we can buy horses from the herdsmen, but we have 30,000 horses left." ”

I don't know how many years of accumulation of weapons and equipment in the Crimean inventory are a family property! The annual maintenance cost alone is a problem, and many armors that have reached the end of their useful life -- no, no, they must have been sold directly to black-hearted merchants.

"If we put all the money into the production system, we can probably produce 2,000 sets of plate armor per month. Three thousand sets of chain mail. There are also others such as swords, which can be made in thousands a day, and spears are even faster. The only problem is the bow and arrow, after all, the bow body is made and needs to be dried, but we have our own stock and can also buy it. ”

The production of chain mail is actually not that complicated. Even an adult with no foundation can guarantee that he will be able to make a set of chain mail within a few days after getting the hoop. The only difficulty is the refining of iron rings! This is not comparable to the mechanical production on earth, and these iron huans still need blacksmiths to make their own zuò! But making zuò iron rings is enough even for an apprentice.

The production efficiency of an area with a population of five million is so low, and the level of technology in the Roland continent is ......

"Your Highness the Princess. "In half a month, I can gather all the men to attack the centaurs, and then I will create an eastern border for you that is free from enemy attacks!"

Shalama nodded, "Halfa." What do you think?"

Halfa smiled bitterly: "Since Your Royal Highness the princess has already agreed, my old bones can only do my best." ”

"Haha. Looks like another good show is about to begin. Falong said brightly.

It is false to say that he is not afraid of the coming all-out war, but Falong, as a military leader, cannot say anything to show fear on his face, on the contrary, it is precisely through this indifferent attitude to inspire people and boost morale!

"Halfa, if we make a six-meter-long spear, how much can we make at the fastest speed, and what is the cost price?" asked Salama suddenly.

Halfa frowned, he didn't expect Salama to ask such a question out of the blue.

"You're talking about the phalanx spears of the classical period. "Alpha also knows a little bit about weapons.

"Well, that's right. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know why you want this weapon. However, it must be noted that the spear phalanx is no longer applicable, and the spear phalanx is clearly behind in modern warfare, where classes are mixed and varied, if you want to count on the spear to deal great damage to the enemy...... In front of the cavalry who came and went like the wind, the spear phalanx moved as slowly as a turtle, they could not fight with the spear phalanx at all, and if they were attacked by a large area of projectiles, the dense formation of the spear phalanx was easy to be disrupted, and once the formation was disrupted, the spear phalanx was a hedgehog waiting for death. ”

Halfa knew a lot about the spear phalanx, and there were still pike phalanxes on the Roland continent, but only in a few locations, and only poorly equipped armies would choose the spear phalanx.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be out of the question, and who's to say these spears are for our own use?" said Shalama, "I've brought in some foreign reinforcements who can withstand the onslaught of Rose's grey cattle, but we need to provide the equipment." ”

"Foreign aid?" asked both Halfa and Faron curiously.

"You'll know it then, but you can't go into detail now. "Naturally, Salama can't say that the outside aid she invited is an undead creature, and it's not yet time to explain the situation. (To be continued......)
