Three months later.

The spring is sunny in Liucheng, and it is already 3019 years in the mainland calendar. And this small city, which has less than 50,000 residents, is now bustling with activity. The arrival of a large number of troops has broken the tranquility of the small town.

And this willow city is the location of the guard general's palace of Dipu. He was also sad enough, because the Earl of Daniel had set up the command post of the Northwest Army nearby, the capital of Newton County, the largest city in the three northwestern counties. Therefore, the general's palace of Dipu was not allowed to enter the city of Wiven, which is the so-called rule that the king does not see the king, to prevent the conflict of rights between the two generals. But it can't be too far away, and you need to do a good job of the secretary and housekeeper of the Northwest Army. So in the end, it can only be arranged to this small city with convenient transportation.

After coming to the three northwestern counties, to be exact, after coming to Wivin City, Dipu participated in several regular plays. For example, welcome banquets, dance parties, etc. And the reunion with Count Daniel after a long absence is even more talkative, and the two happily hug, greet, and praise each other...... , it's disgusting anyway. However, under the affection on the table, Dipu has almost torn his face several times with the Northwest Army and the local officials of the three counties.

Due to the appearance of the Demons in Dawn City, the Empire has begun to collect a special war tax. Even the Holy See raised its religious taxes and prepared financially for a full-scale war. The existence of the Northwest Army made all the war taxes of the three counties in the northwest fill this hole. Therefore, the Imperial War Department also put forward a request to the Northwest Army - it cannot continue to exist in this state of force, and it must be within a year. The training was full of three infantry divisions and one cavalry division, with a total of 20 regiments. Nearly 100,000 troops. Moreover, it is a field unit that can go to the battlefield at any time.

But what is the current situation of the Northwest Army?

The original team of the Northwest Army was the 50,000 people who went to the expeditionary force of the Beamon Kingdom. After arriving at the front line of the Red Lion Principality, they converged with twelve local regiments in the three northwestern counties. And also. The wing of the Jewel Flower Knights stationed in the Kingdom of Tro left a large number of symbolic troops, and the other two brigades and the troops directly under the wing were also incorporated into the Northwest Army.

In addition, there are also miscellaneous people who fled back from the Red Lion Duchy, and the Red Lion Grand Duke Van Bock returned 50,000 or 60,000 imperial troops, and all the troops combined, there are nearly 200,000.

But later, the empire implemented the "great transfer" strategy of Empress Trisy, and transferred the vast majority of the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army to the Hiss army of the great general Anton. Those who remain here are some of the belly troops.

What kind of troops did the Northwest Army have now? Four regiments of 20,000 local troops in the three counties were left behind. And there was not a single cavalry regiment. The three counties supported three more local regiments, resulting in the three counties being completely empty, and the mobile troops of each county were left with only one county guard's personal guard regiment. And this time, the personal guard regiment of Dipu was made up by the three counties.

In addition, the 20,000 scattered troops who returned from the Red Lion Principality remained and began to regroup. Count Daniel left behind a core force of more than 10,000 people. The Jewel Flower Knights left a brigade of nearly 10,000 people. The total sum is more than 70,000 or less than 80,000.

With such a small number of troops, it must be overstretched to face the entire Red Lion Principality. Fortunately, the Red Lion Principality has no desire to expand. In this way, the two armies confronted each other along the border. However, even so, it is impossible for the empire to pin its hopes on the noble hands of the Red Lion Principality, and the strength of the Northwest Army does need to be strengthened. So the two support armies arrived.

One is the 20,000-strong army of the coming kingdom of Bimon. This force was sent after the Empire and the Kingdom of Bimon signed an additional agreement. The kingdom of Beamon already had an army of 50,000 in Auroville. And the troops over there are after a long period of fighting. The old units will definitely have to be withdrawn for rest and recuperation, and the new units will also have to be replenished. And here in the Northwest Army, it is not too far from the holy cities of Yada and Dawn City. It happened to become a resting base for the rear, which could better supplement the insufficient strength of the Northwest Army. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone;

The other is the reinforcements sent by the Kingdom of Tello. This support army is more interesting, giving full play to the characteristics of the "land of mercenaries" of the Tello Kingdom. King Philip II assumed the role of leader of the Union of Lords. Let the lords of the kingdom bear the military expenses proportionally, and recruit 20,000 troops from the mercenary groups and the private armies of the major lords. It was also led by an old acquaintance of Dipp, Count Sivir, who had returned from injury.

When they met Count Sivir, they were really surprised. After the lively greetings, Tip gave Count Sivir a few healing pills and magic potions. However, the subsequent introduction made Dipu half angry.

Among these 20,000 troops, there were actually 3,000 mercenaries sent by the Black-Eyed Leader to make money. Dipu calculated the relationship: the kingdom paid the bankers, and after the bankers made the difference, they gave the balance to the black-eyed collar. I knew that this was the case, and I wouldn't talk to the king and my husband directly?

Anyway, it's already done, and I can't care about it. At present, the most important job of Dip is to assist Count Daniel in completing the reorganization of the Northwest Army.

Here, do the math again. If the nearly 100,000 field troops were successfully organized, it would be impossible for the border not to leave defensive troops. Beamon's troops can't be counted, and they have to fight Beamon's forces in Dawn City. The only division that can be counted is the one division of the Tello Kingdom.

And the Imperial War Department is not without taking into account the actual situation here. In the Battle of Hiss, Heidelberg and Willy's division suffered too many losses, so it was about to be reorganized and replenished here. This solves another division. But the remaining two divisions, then it must be solved by Count Daniel and Dipu themselves.

So the work was divided, and the reorganization was, of course, the responsibility of Count Daniel, and the replenishment of troops and the supply of supplies were the responsibility of Dip, the general of the guard. So all the problems were piled up on Tipu's head. Where did the soldiers come from? Where did the materials come from?

But no matter how difficult it is, the problem needs to be solved one by one. First of all, there are the soldiers, and there is only so much war tax? What about the salaries of the recruits? Dipu quarreled several times with the envoys sent by the county guards of the three counties, and finally reached an agreement -- to settle the matter by means of hard labor. Every six months, each of the three counties sends 20,000 people to serve in the military, and they are rotated every six months.

In this way, local production will not be affected, and more than 100,000 soldiers who have received basic training will be gradually trained and selected within a year or two. After all, the three counties in the northwest are in the interior, even if the demon clan invades a year later, it won't be able to pass for a while, and the time is completely enough. And the biggest advantage is that these soldiers who serve in the military do not need to be paid.
