The snow in May came and went quickly, and the cold wind was howling for the first few days, and then it was sunny for several days. ()

As the temperature warms up, the scorching sun shines on the dreary air. The fat man is guided by Nabrien, a Jones officer who is familiar with the terrain. With a few cavalry guards, he went all the way north along the Hurathai Mountains. In the hills in front of the child, a gray mountain appeared in front of the fat man's eyes,

"My lord, this is the village of Fetté Kogo," the guide Nabryan said, pointing to the village, "I used to be here three years ago. If you want to cross the Fetai Wilderness to get to Kugit in the north, this is the way to go. If you keep the ancient song of Feitai, you will be able to cut off this road."

The fat man looked carefully at the surrounding terrain and realized that Nabryan was right, this was indeed the best place to guard the mountain pass. The only access to the valley makes it stand out

The higher hills are like a dragon rising abruptly, lying in this field, a wide valley gorge extends into it, like a huge gate to divide the mountain range into two, the shadow of the village can be vaguely seen on both sides of the gorge, and dozens of simple wooden landlords lean there crookedly to the west.

"Well, that's good!" the fat man nodded with satisfaction, and said to the recorder beside him, "You record all the areas we just passed, and immediately hand over the records to the business alliance of Jones Territory when you go back." Ask them to be ready to set up a trading post here"

When Nets returned to the camp, the fat man saw Oliumgen, the staff officer of the Legion Headquarters, whom Nets had transferred from Zhivadin. Holding a drawn scroll in his hand, he walked over and saluted respectfully: "Grand Duke! This is our western combat training manual based on the Hutak landform!"

"Oh, so fast?" the fat man, with a slight pale, took the scroll from Oriumgen's hand, looked at it carefully, and after asking a few questions about the differences in the landscape and how to deal with them, he stamped his seal with his heraldic ring

This is the forthcoming Western Operations Manual.

The terrain of the Hutak region has the characteristics common to the west, the terrain is flat and narrow, and the forests and hills are mixed with large ones, like a fishing net full of breaches, this complex western terrain is a new problem that the Samorian army, which has always been accustomed to fighting in the plains and mountain castles, has to face.

The fat man sent someone to make a standard map of the topography of the entire Hutak territory, and sent it to the squadrons that were practicing on the northern border of the Jones territory, and asked the legion headquarters to make a copy of the western wasteland combat essentials according to this terrain and the experience of the local mercenaries, and after signing it himself, he would also send out the squadrons to adapt to the western war that was about to break out with Northern Stian.

Already on the border line are the 6th and 8th Banner Regiments of the Northern Army and the 3rd Banner Regiment of the Mountain Corps. Together with the 6,000 cavalry of the Guards who occupied Hutalenku, the total strength gathered by Samar this time exceeded 10,000 men

In a letter to Maomodayin, the fat man promised to hand over this important area to the Maomo family. In fact, it is for the sake of future grand strategic considerations,

Samor's primary enemy is Northern Stian, there is no need to waste his precious forces in the west, the fat man considers sending troops to garrison this unfamiliar land with him, and face a possible counterattack from the west at any time,

It is better to find out the terrain and then deliver it back, which can not only sell the Maomo family a face to eliminate the wariness of Samol in the west, but also gain the initiative in the future western campaign.

In the letter written by the fat man to Mao Moddyne, the fat man first expressed his respect for Mao Moddyne and showed that he did not covet the west.

The reason why Hutak sent troops was entirely for the sake of the Jones Territory, and to mention to Mamoday, the ruler of the west, in order to promote the liaison and development between the two sides and avoid similar misunderstandings again, Samore was willing to open all his territorial checkpoints to the west.

As long as the goods are shipped from the Western Union, they can enjoy the same tax exemption treatment as the Business Alliance. Naturally, the goods of the commercial alliance should also be exempt from vulgarity in the west

The fat man believes that the Momo family will agree to this, not only because of Samoor's strength, but out of their own interests, even if the Momo family wants to stop it, the short-sighted western lords behind him will urge the Momo family to agree to this request that can bring them benefits

This is the first step of the fat man to wage an economic war, a typical high-sounding lure, with a deadly edge hidden in the bright gold coins,

The fat man has already chosen a location. Feitai Koge Village!

This desolate hamlet will soon become the most prosperous town in the west, and will become the base camp for Samar to penetrate the economy of the west, and this time the fat man is ready to transfer Lidacus, who is good at housekeeping,

Let this guy who dreams of building great military feats play his best here. Mobilize materials and sit in the ancient song of Feitai. Assist yourself in directing this unseen war.

In this era of land, no one cares about the invisible invisible killer of economic war.

As long as the commercial network in the west is opened, the loss of the business alliance will be able to jump to the blockade of the ten northern regions of the country, and directly turn into a knife grassland from the front of the line. Because of the decline of Kyoto, the northern trade routes, which had lost a lot of money, would become a play of chess

This is the most important part of the fat man's plan, the fat man has made two calculations, ready to start a war in the west and the north at the same time, of course, one is visible, the other is quiet, war does not have to use a knife

After investigating for a while, the fat man found that the west was remote and closed, under the development of decades. has formed its own small economic system. But compared with Samor's developed business system, the weak economic cycle in the west is simply the difference between weak babies and adults,

He only needs to push it lightly to make it have no chance to stand up! Now he only needs to use his commercial hand to tear open the hard shell of the closed west and let the commercial tentacles of the developed commercial alliance reach into it, and he can completely control this land in his own hands

The economic backbone of the West was the rudimentary fur industry, and the basis of the military in the West was the mercenary culture. The fat man has already made preparations and will make every effort to mobilize the strength of the entire business alliance to open up the northern business line within two months, fully penetrate all corners of the western economy, and fight an economic war

It is impossible for such a monotonous small economy in the west to compete with a highly permeable business alliance. Stimulated by favorable conditions, a large number of expensive luxuries from Samore would quickly occupy the lives of the nobles in the west, holding banquets, obtaining beautiful women, showing off treasures, and this was the common problem of all nobles. These require a lot of gold, and this is the biggest shortcoming in the west.

Soon, they will find that their small economy in their humble territory will not be able to support their luxurious life, their wallets will quickly dry up, and the only way out is to cooperate with business alliances. Either form a caravan, become a member of the business alliance, and live a prosperous life from now on, or go bankrupt and fall into ruin. Stuck to the land of poverty and addiction,

The reason why the aristocracy is aristocracy is because they are all a group of very realistic people, and the unrealistic ones have already been eliminated! It will not be long before the economic magic hand will naturally tie these western lords to Samor's chariot and make Samoor's interests the most important interests in their hearts

The second condition put forward by the fat man in the letter was that he hoped that the Maomo family would allow the caravan to hire mercenaries from the west, which was proposed for the mercenary culture in the west

The fat man believed that with the opening of the western trade route, a large number of caravans would be like cats that smell fish. Coming to the west, there is a natural permafrost, flat and wide terrain, and the geographical conditions are extremely favorable. Even the road repair is saved,

According to the calculations, the "business alliance will mobilize at least 20,000 businessmen to the west, and the number may be even more under the impetus of Samoor's preferential western policy."

A large number of western mercenaries are exactly what these caravans need, and when the time comes, the mercenaries will become the caravansera's guards, and the lords will become the interests of Samor, and the west will be far from the western part of Samor?

The fat man was thinking about his wishful thinking here, but the main hall of Saran City was bleak

Hukochili walked into the hall wearing fine armor engraved with a white thorn coat of arms. Heavy footsteps stepped on the hard floor of the hall, making a low muffled sound,

A long table of heavy nanmu more than 20 meters long occupies almost the center of the hall, and hundreds of nobles wearing various coats of arms sit on either side of the center line like stars and moons.

Seeing himself enter, more than a hundred black heads turned around, and countless pairs of eyes looked at him with various meanings, even with the courage of Hu Keqili, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, "Hell, did you inadvertently break into a large meeting of the western lords?" The corners of Hukochili's mouth twitched slightly,

Hu Keqili recognized Mao Mo Dain at a glance, it was rare to see such a sharp old man, not to mention that he was still sitting on the main chair in the hall, even a fool knew that this was the master of the west, the patriarch of the Mao Mo family

"Hello, Venerable Lord Mamodayin. I extend my sincerest greetings to you on behalf of Lord Regent of the Kingdom!" Hukochili placed his palm on his chest and made a knightly salute, "Lord Regent is so angry!" It's a return gift,

"I don't know what kind of reply did Lord Mao Mo have to the regent's mentions? Hu Keqili raised his head, and looked at Mao Modain without fear, and a killing aura formed by the perennial battle came to his face, attracting the sideways glances of many lords, and many older ones frowned,

The bloody aura on this Jonst's body was too thick! It was as thick as a never-ending cold floating in the air, and it was impossible to have such a murderous aura without killing hundreds of people on the battlefield

"Ahem, I don't know what happened to the Jonster envoy coming to my Saran City this time, just talk to me about anything!"
