In the past, Bruno would have never wanted to participate in a football league.
However, the signing of the Treaty of Valens meant that the expansion of the Idar Territory into the interior came to an end, and the eastern part of the empire officially entered a period of peace under the rule of the Stuart family.
At least for a long time in the future, until the situation in the interior of the empire gradually becomes clearer, the Principality of Idar will escape from the quagmire of the war and become one of the few forces in the Norman Empire that can be completely independent from the war.
one.
After all, after having the reputation bonus from beating up the Odins, no one would dare to come to the Idar Principality to make a presence known.
It should...not be possible, right?
But the peace in the eastern part of the empire does not mean that the Idar Principality can relax its vigilance in military construction. The Idar Army must expand, and the Idar Navy must also expand.
The Mann Fortress in the south and the Stranglethorn Valley area adjacent to the Conte Territory are easy to say. These are strategic locations that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, the long border line on the Valens Plains has also increased the defensive pressure of the Principality of Idar in vain.
Fortunately, Sam Layton is quite reliable. In addition to occasionally watching football games and relaxing, he and Sarah Coren are also particularly concerned about the recruitment of Army recruits and personally organize rounds of screenings.
Under the publicity of Idar Daily, the Principality of Idar once again set off a wave of recruitment to defend the country and join the army.
But this time...
Compared with the army, the navy's recruitment is more intense.
Idar's current foreign policy is very clear. The principality of Idar will pursue a military policy with defense as its core.
Therefore, for the vast majority of Idar people, if they want to gain military merit and achieve a jump in status and status by joining the army, the navy is undoubtedly the first choice.
Although limited by the current level of manpower and material resources in the Principality of Idar, the construction of wonders such as the [Venice Armory], which has an important bonus effect on the construction of naval ships, has not yet begun, but the three-masted shipyard in the Merlin District has already begun construction.
The construction of warships.
Time waits for no one!
The Farland Islands will not be the first overseas island group discovered by the Idar people, and the coral islands located in the territorial waters of Basel will not always be the farthest overseas islands from the Idar mainland.
Therefore, in the eyes of many Idar people who have signed up to join the army, only by joining the navy can they have the opportunity to expand the territory of the Principality of Idar and have more possibilities!
only,
With more wolves than meat, the Navy's strict screening standards are undoubtedly daunting.
As more and more information was disclosed, the "experts and scholars" of the Principality of Idar began to interpret the latest recruitment policy and the opportunities and possibilities of various arms in the Idar Daily, and the Idar Army returned to the public's attention.
within sight.
The eastern highlands of the Odin Empire and the Port of Dorn, located on the southeast side of the Forest of Warcraft, are both the locations of the Idar Concession stipulated in the "Valens Peace Treaty" and will also become the Idar Army's headquarters in the Principality of Idar.
important military bases outside.
Therefore, when the people realized that even if they became the army, they also had the opportunity to station outside the Principality of Idar, the young men of Idar who were not selected by the navy swarmed to the camp of the Idar Army.
forward.
The Idar people are not afraid of war.
The bonus effect of "rich moral integrity" brought by the quality concept is only part of the reason.
As the Principality of Idar has won consecutive victories in foreign wars, the self-esteem of the Idar people has continued to rise. From being forced to go to the battlefield by the nobles at the beginning to voluntarily joining the army to fight, there is almost no change between these two mentality.
How much time does it take.
Because war not only allows them to gain honor, but also makes their families live a better life!
Looking at those war heroes who are admired by countless Idar people, almost all the young people in the Principality of Idar will look envious, and will receive a medal of honor personally awarded by the Duke as their own goal and pursuit!
only……
While the recruitment of the navy and army was proceeding in an orderly manner on the land of the Principality of Idar, Mal Cullen, the commander of the navy, had already set sail for the north.
Unlike Sam Layton, as a naval commander, Mal Cullen has always been a guy who can't take any time off.
For him,
It is a very boring thing to huddle behind a desk and review the trivial matters in the military.
therefore,
From recruiting naval soldiers to logistical support, from ship maintenance to daily training, the vice-admirals of Idar Navy are responsible for most of the work.
Of course, this is what Bruno wants.
Unlike the Idar Army, once the Principality of Idar embarks on overseas exploration, it is obviously impossible for Mal Caron to coordinate the operations of the entire Idar Navy on the vast sea.
When the time comes, the current vice-admirals will become new naval admirals. They will take charge of warships alone, occupy new lands for the Principality of Idar, and explore the unknown overseas.
Therefore, Bruno is also deliberately cultivating new naval backbones, and ability and loyalty are undoubtedly the two aspects that Bruno values most.
As for Mal Cullen…
After the signing of the Treaty of Valens,
Under Bruno's instructions, this guy had already led his soldiers to the eastern highlands of the Odin Empire to explore resources and draw up a concession for the Principality of Idar.
…
"Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded in the mountain stream, and the bursting gravel hit the rock wall beside it, making a crisp crackling sound.
This is the Idar people exploring the mineral veins.
Since possessing the magic crystal bomb, the Idar people no longer have to wield the extremely crude mining tools of this era.
Explodes wherever there are mines, saving a lot of time and labor costs.
Although spring has arrived, on the eastern plateau located northeast of Odin's empire, the cold wind in the early morning still makes people shiver.
As the smoke and dust caused by the explosion gradually dissipated, Mal Caron tightened his cotton-padded clothes and said to the soldiers on the side:
"You two, take Master Goode to see if any mineral deposits have been exploded..."
"yes!"
The two soldiers happily accepted the order and walked towards the mountain stream with Goode.
Good's full name is Good Knight, and he is Master Andy's most valued student. Not only is he good at carving, he can also easily identify different mineral deposits and stones.
So this time,
In order to explore possible mineral deposits in the eastern highlands, Goode also came to this land belonging to the Odin people for the first time under Bruno's order.
According to the provisions of the Peace of Valens, the Idar people have the right to mine mineral deposits in the eastern highlands.
so……
If enough mineral veins can be found, then the Principality of Idar will really be developed this time!
