Taxes paid by the population of five million, business taxes from former merchants, and the trading houses opened by the Salama family on the Roland continent...... All these expenses add up, and the Shalama family has raised a standing army of 50,000 men in the Crimean region!

Of these, 30,000 were cavalry, 20,000 were infantry, and if you count the wartime baggage troops, the number of combat troops in the Crimean region can be even more!

In fact, if it were not for the need for infantry in battle, in fact, the Crimean region could have turned all the troops into cavalry units that came and went. After all, it is impossible to rely on cavalry units to solve battles such as siege warfare and protracted warfare, and it still depends on the infantry after all. Just like the war on earth, tanks and armored vehicles are powerful, but in war, you can't just rely on these heavy armor, infantry is equally important!

But even so, relying on the vast plains of the Crimea, the infantry in the Crimean region were also horseback infantry, riding horses when they were moving quickly, and dismounting when they arrived on the battlefield. This high mobility is able to take the enemy by surprise!

This is also the reason why the lords of the surrounding area are afraid of the Crimea. They don't want to be fighting the enemy when suddenly their hometown is surrounded by a group of cavalry!

But now it seems to Shalama that perhaps the troops in the Crimean region can be completely replaced by cavalry, because the infantry units are ......

I just don't know if my soldiers can accept it......

Salama shook her head, a little headache at the matter. At the beginning, he simply saw that Chu Nan could bring great benefits to his war path, but he ignored whether his soldiers could accept that his comrades-in-arms around him were skeleton zombies.

The Crimean region is less influenced by the ideas of the Church, so there should not be much of a problem. Salama comforted herself. Rely on the orc tribe. On the one hand, the Crimean region is deeply influenced by the Roland Continental Cross Church, but the influence of orc culture cannot be ignored.

It's like the armor of the Crimean region. The Cretans had a much stronger aversion to undead creatures than the Crusaders. However, it is still not possible to accept it calmly, after all, such a thing is not something that can be easily accepted by any living person. Except for necromancers, who are meant to do this in the first place!

But on the whole, it's much easier to accept.

Think about it, let the undead army who are not afraid of death make a large army, the mighty impact is in front, and then let the human cavalry maneuver flexibly, so that it can be invincible! But the premise is that Chu Nan can summon a sufficient number of undead creatures!

"Halfa, even if I don't put on such an offensive posture, can choosing a peaceful attitude change the fact that war is coming?" asked Salama rhetorically.

"This ...... Not really. Halfa knew that Salama was going to argue with herself. "Even if you don't put on such a posture, it won't be long before there is a problem somewhere in the capital, and war will still come. ”

"Hmm. Salama nodded, "Since something will happen sooner or later, what are we afraid of?"

"But Her Royal Highness Princess, although I said that, it is also a little time to be able to buy a little more time, and we should accumulate more strength before the two sides tear their faces. Khalfa said. "Although we in the Crimean are rich in land, prosperous in commerce and trade, and have a lot of armor, we still have to challenge the surrounding area alone. Wait until we go to war with the nobles. The centaurs in the east and the Rus Empire in the north will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and they will definitely come to intervene at that time, so that we will be passive!"

If the war really starts. The centaurs who have been invading the border all this time will certainly not let this opportunity go. And the Rus' Empire in the north can also casually make up some reasons to enter the war, and then the war will start in all the surrounding areas!

"Halfa. After so many years, your cowardly temperament has not changed!" Fa Long, who was wearing a military uniform on the side, said unceremoniously. "Isn't it just a war, I don't believe that my sons and daughters have been galloping on the battlefield for so many years, and they will be able to be defeated by these farmers around me!"

He is the commander of the soldiers, a marshal without the title of marshal, and if the Crimea is an independent country, Falong is definitely a well-deserved national marshal.

As a qualified soldier, Falong's aggressiveness is not comparable to that of civilian officials, what they care about is not the diplomacy of the surrounding area, but the war, how to fight, how to win the war!

"Falong, it's not a question of cowardice or not. If we say that I will never be afraid of war, but if we fight a full-scale war, we will fall into passivity. ”

Speaking of war, Khalda will never be afraid, no matter how peaceful a person is, he will never hate war after ruling the Crimean region, and in the Crimea, a land of four wars, war will happen every year, if you are afraid of war alone, then there is no need to make a fire in Crimea.

"Expand our army any further! With more troops, we can fight more battles, anyway, the people of our Crimean region have grown up in border wars, and if they want to recruit soldiers, they can recruit a group at any time, and they only need a little training, and with their inherent military skills, they will soon become a fighting army!" Falong is good, he blocked it back with a straight sentence, he wished that the more soldiers under his command the better, but it was not that he had any arrogance, but he simply wanted to fight more battles.

The people of the Crimean region, if you have to describe them in one word, are a very appropriate fighting race, they are good at hand-to-hand combat, they are also good at bow and arrow hunting, they can fight on foot but even on horseback, and because of their high latitude, the people of the Crimea are extremely hardy. If you have to find a disadvantage in these points, it is that the people of Crimea are not good at mountain warfare, after all, the plains of Crimea are endless, and there are no hills and mountains for them to fight.

"What you said is simple, it takes money to expand the army, more money. We practice a standing conscription system in the Crimea, and every soldier is responsible for everything from equipment to logistics, and a lot of money is needed for this. ”

"How much money do we have in our treasury, Halfa?" asked Shalama at this point. After all, Salama has not been here for a long time, so she still doesn't have a good grasp of the situation in Crimea. (To be continued......)
