"What's going on with the Province of Cleveland now?"
Aslan asked as soon as Arthur entered Aslan's office.
This is also the result of the close relationship between Aslan and Arthur. If other governors came to report on their duties, Aslan would only read the documents and listen to the other person's explanation.
"The main city of Cleveland has a relatively solid foundation and has returned to normal order. The redundant people have been relocated to other main cities. A large number of farms have been built in various places to accommodate many idle people. The manufacturing industry has also begun to take shape. I believe that in the near future, Cleveland will
The province will definitely become an important manufacturing province in the empire." Arthur said with pride.
Aslan nodded, this was similar to what he had been paying attention to.
"I came back this time to prepare for you to take charge of the troops and attack the Ottoman Kingdom from both sides with Artoria." Aslan put down the teacup in his hand and said.
Arthur stood up suddenly, bowed respectfully and said, "I promise not to disappoint His Majesty."
Aslan smiled and nodded.
Three days later, without anyone noticing, Arthur led the Third Army of the United Army and twenty divisions of the National Defense Forces to go on an expedition on the grounds of external training.
The First Army of the United Army, commanded by Gawain, faced off against the Free Magic Alliance at the Weimar Federation border, while the Second Army and Artoria were stationed at the border of the Ottoman Kingdom.
Each group army has four corps, and each corps has three divisions, for a total of twelve divisions, generally five to seven infantry divisions, one armored division, two mechanized divisions, and the rest are motorized infantry.
Division composition.
To put it simply, the Merox Empire has not yet been able to mechanize all its troops, so it can only use transitional troops such as motorized infantry divisions.
Motorized infantry refers to a unit that rides on vehicles to maneuver and fight on foot. It is characterized by fast movement before the battle begins, adaptability to various terrain conditions, and flexibility. However, there is no necessary cover during the battle, and the battle develops slowly.
This is a transitional organization adopted by economically underdeveloped countries. Usually motorized infantry divisions are organized into tank regiments, motorized infantry regiments (if **** regiments, air defense regiments; motorized infantry regiments are organized into motorized infantry battalions (if *
**** barracks; a motorized infantry battalion is organized into a motorized infantry company (if a **** army company is formed); a motorized infantry company is organized into several infantry platoons and car squads.
Aslan did not go out with the army, but made the final arrangements in the palace. Wilson and Essien fully supported Aslan's personal expedition this time, but they secretly went to Nomeli many times and asked Nomeli to do it.
Keep an eye on Aslan and never let him rush into the battlefield and fight.
To this, Nomeili responded in the affirmative.
If Aslan dared to enter the battlefield without her consent, Nomeli would dare to break Aslan's legs and make him stay in the headquarters.
It was already a week after Arthur set off by the time Aslan arrived for the expedition.
The Third Army led by Arthur has always been a garrison in Merlocks Province. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to complete the mobilization within three days. That would be nearly 600,000 troops.
The troops led by Aslan only have the strength of one corps of the United Army, plus ten infantry divisions and five motorized infantry divisions of the National Defense Forces. Their main task is to ensure the rear of the front line and the supply line of the army.
At Uhura City Airport, Aslan and Nomeli got off the special plane, accompanied by three military transport planes, which happened to be carrying an aviation magic force. Once the enemy was discovered, they would be able to attack and protect His Majesty as soon as possible.
Mrs. Sharon stood in the airport in outstanding posture. She did not prepare any welcome team, only she and a few close friends came with her.
"See Your Majesty!"
When Mrs. Sharon saw Aslan approaching, she took the initiative to salute and said.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Aslan smiled and nodded, striding towards the airport.
"Tell me about the current situation?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Sharon knew that Aslan was serious this time, and she did not dare to get angry. She said seriously: "General Arthur has led the third army into a combat position, and Princess Artoria's army has entered the Ottoman Empire.
Within the kingdom, the Ultra tribe is fully cooperating to hide."
Aslan nodded. With the size of the Second Army, it would be impossible to hide it without internal support.
After all, the Second Army led by Artoria included, in addition to the combined army of the four armies, fifteen infantry divisions of the National Defense Force.
"Don't be careless. Even if the Ultra tribe cooperates fully, it will only delay time. It will be discovered sooner or later." Aslan sat in the car and looked at the greatly changed Uhura City from the car window and said: "Snow
Lun, you have done a good job, but I wonder how many troops you have on hand now?"
Mrs. Sharon said without any secret: "On the surface, Uhura City has a full infantry division, but it usually works in three shifts."
Aslan couldn't help laughing.
A full infantry division with three shifts means that the other two divisions are hidden on weekdays and will only appear when they are on duty.
"Can combat effectiveness be guaranteed?" Aslan asked.
Mrs. Sharon said proudly: "Not lost to the National Defense Forces."
Mrs. Linda curled her lips. Judging from her experience, they were at least at the elite level of the empire. The four elite regiments of the Kingdom of Cleveland were no more than that.
After all, Mrs. Linda still doesn't understand the United Army.
In addition to strict military discipline, the United Army's minimum requirements for enlistment are professionals. If the four major legions of the Kingdom of Cleveland were elite troops back then, then the United Army is a super elite force.
"This is not enough. I want you to make a big move to attract the attention of the other two tribes and buy time for Artoria." Aslan continued.
Mrs. Sharon pondered for a while and then said: "The Tiev tribe should be able to pull out 40,000 strong warriors."
Mrs. Linda's eyes widened, she wanted to say something.
"Sharon, are you crazy? Show all your cards."
Aslan pondered for a while.
"A hundred thousand troops are not enough!"
"The Yeluke tribe should also have 10,000 or 20,000 strong warriors." Mrs. Sharon added.
"Any more?" Aslan asked.
Mrs. Sharon shook her head.
"One hundred and twenty thousand! It's barely enough for fun." Aslan said lightly.
Mrs. Sharon looked at him doubtfully, while Nomeli looked out the window angrily. The sky in the Ottoman Kingdom was particularly blue and dazzling.
The next night, the 120,000 troops summoned by Mrs. Sharon, accompanied by 100,000 herdsmen, known as the 200,000 troops, directly killed Uhura City and attacked the tribes stationed on three sides of Uhura City.
They are all tribes sent by the three major tribes to monitor Uhura City. Each tribe has hundreds of thousands of people, and can easily arm tens of thousands of troops.
