Chapter 814: Respective Deployments
Unlike the dreary royal meetings of the Eternal Empire, discussions and arguments are in full swing in the royal palaces of the Empire, with military and political officials from both countries pointing to the map of the Eternal Empire and arguing about the areas to be occupied by the two empires.
Wang Yong did not participate in the argument, but came to Stephanie with Zach, and the three of them chatted without a word, watching the officials blushing and spitting with thick necks, while the three of them drank the drinks brought by the maid, leisurely watching from the sidelines.
After several hours of fierce debate, it was not until late at night that the two countries reached a preliminary agreement, cutting the Eternal Empire from the southwest to the northeast, with the Aier Empire occupying six provinces in the north of the Eternal Empire, including Barren and Chel, while the Lawson Empire was divided into five relatively large provinces in the south of the Eternal Empire, including the imperial capital, such as Farah and Luton.
As for the three provinces to the east of the Eternal Empire, the two countries have not discussed for the time being, because according to the report of the black hand, the Duchy of Victor has already increased its troops on the border with the Eternal Empire, and it seems that it also wants a piece of the pie.
The Duchy of Victor is composed of more than a dozen kingdoms, and its strength should not be underestimated, which is stronger than the current Empire of Elder and the Empire of Lawson combined, so the Empire of Elder and the Empire of Lotin do not want to anger this behemoth, and use the three provinces as a buffer to leave to the Principality of Victory.
In this meeting, the Lawson Empire also made a request, that is, to exchange a part of the land, because the Lawson Empire does not border the Eternal Empire, so even if it occupies the land of several of its provinces, it cannot be connected to the mainland to govern together, so the Lawson Empire intends to exchange the vast grasslands that have been at war with the Aier Empire for many years and border the provinces of the Liep Empire in exchange for the Daili Province of the Aier Empire, so that the territory of the Luosen Empire can be connected to the city.
Stephanie did not respond to this proposal, but asked the envoys of the Lawson Empire to tell Glinton that the province of Dalli bordered the capital of the El-Emperor, and that the matter of exchanging territories was very important, and it was better to occupy the Eternal Empire first and then negotiate it.
Wang Yong looked at the map and couldn't help but agree with Stephanie's decision. Because if the province of Daili is exchanged for the Luosen Empire according to the requirements of the Luosen Empire, then not only the imperial capital of the Aier Empire will be exposed to the borders of the Luosen Empire. And most importantly, in this way, although most of the borders of the Empire of Ir are only bordered by the allies of the Lawson Empire, it can be said that there are no worries.
But from another point of view, if the Al Empire wants to expand its territory again, it will only face the behemoth of the Duchy of Victor in the east, but the Lawson Empire has an absolute advantage in this aspect, because if it is according to the previous division of the Eternal Empire. The Luosen Empire will be surrounded in a concave shape on the west, south, and north sides of the three kingdoms of Eurasia, Ula and Lanyi, so that the extended border line will definitely not be stable, and the only solution is to deal with the three kingdoms.
If that time comes, the Air Empire will definitely be involved as an offensive and defensive ally, but it will also face the embarrassing situation that the occupied land does not border the mainland, so Stephanie feels that these two things should be handled as one thing, and after occupying the Eternal Empire. The two countries are holding talks on the basis of this issue and are trying to find a solution that is satisfactory to both sides.
Next, Iron Mask reported the basic movements of the surrounding countries of the Eternal Empire to Empress Stephanie, and then based on the current situation of the Eternal Empire. The Empire will dispatch 31,000 royal heavy cavalry and 20,000 light cavalry, plus 10,000 hoplites and 10,000 light infantry, to assemble outside the imperial capital within five days.
The Lawson Empire, on the other hand, divided the 100,000 troops outside the Imperial Capital of the Elder into two, and dispatched 50,000 elites to merge with the army of the Elder Empire. The other 50,000 troops were driven back to the Losen Empire to strengthen the defenses of the borders of the two kingdoms of Ulla and Lanyi.
The specific time for the two countries to send troops to raid the Eternal Empire has not yet been determined, after the preparations of both sides have been completed. If there are no accidents, feel free to act.
In these five days, the two empires not only have to mobilize enough troops and supplies, but also raise the magic crystals and crystals needed this time as quickly as possible, and the two empires must also prepare a large number of administrative personnel and certain local troops to maintain law and order in the occupied areas and the implementation of government decrees.
Since the distance of the Lawson Empire was too far to complete the transportation of logistics supplies, Zack paid the price of two hundred magic crystals and asked the logistics and transportation department of the Seaside Province to go to the Lawson Empire to transport a large number of supplies to the expeditionary camp near the Elimperial Capital.
Wang Yong agreed to this lucrative request without hesitation, and asked Zach to inform Greenton to prepare as soon as possible, and the logistics team on the waterfront would pass in three days.
Wang Yong and others did not participate in the preparations between the two countries, but returned to the coastal province with the high-level coastal officials who came to watch the ceremony, and held an emergency meeting to study the next action plan.
There is a lot of work that needs to be prepared in the coastal province, in addition to helping the two countries transport a large number of materials, but also preparing a large number of debugging personnel who have been related to the teleportation array, and in order to prevent the secret of the teleportation array on the spatial coordinates from being leaked, the safety of those responsible for the debugging of the teleportation array must be sufficiently guaranteed.
Also, according to the previous agreement with Stephanie, the Coastal Province will also send troops to attack the Barron Province of the Eternal Empire, and turn the coastal area into a coastal territory as a strategic buffer, so after Ryan hands over the defense command of the Imperial Capital Palace to Ted, he will lead the volunteers of the Coastal Province to the Eternal Empire, and the Coastal Province will also send corresponding administrators to take over the land occupied by the Coastal Province.
In fact, Wang Yong and the others were not very worried about this war, because they were close to each other, so they knew the current situation of the Eternal Empire's Barun Province best.
Although there has been no large-scale riot in Barron Province today, it is already panicked, and because the Hengsan Canyon bordering the Seaside Province has been blocked, the Eternal Empire, which is overstretched, has not allocated troops to Barron Province for defense, so in addition to the field troops close to 10,000, there are also several city defense troops in Barron Province, and the total strength is less than 30,000, and the Seaside Province is also a tactical sneak attack with a central flower, so it should not be difficult to capture Barron Province.
