"This is the path that must be taken to integrate into the Byron Alliance. The Andis and the Byron Alliance, brothers born from the same mother, have been separated for too long. No one remembers the close relationship between the two parties. Hostility and rejection are the constants of mankind.
It has not become a bad habit. If the general goes here, he is afraid that he will be hostile and excluded from many parties. He needs to be fully mentally prepared! Leave this to me. Don't worry, I promise not to miss half of the useful things. I hope you come next time.
Can find more valuable treasures."
Unknowingly, Lan Xili was once again immersed in the past glory of the Ancient Andis Empire.
"I understand, I'm fully mentally prepared." The corners of Sean's mouth were slightly raised, showing a standard eight-tooth smile.
He had fully experienced the attitude of the Byron people towards the Andis people a few years ago in the Manyu military leadership. It was not only simple hostility and rejection, but also a sense of superior servitude.
Even though he was furious at that time, there was nothing he could do.
But this time it was different. When he once again set foot on the land led by the Manyu Army, he was no longer an individual, but the supreme commander of the Yongye Group Army. Behind him stood hundreds of thousands of Andis people.
What will be represented will be their faces.
Although they are not the protagonists of this four-party talk, the Yongye Army attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.
As mentioned before, the strategic policy set by the Yongye Army is not to invade the Byron Alliance militarily, but to plunder economically.
But if you want to plunder economically, the prerequisite is that the two sides establish stable diplomatic relations and reach a friendly trade agreement.
Although there is an agreement between the Yongye Group Army and the Regent Princess Sophilia, it is a secret oral agreement after all. If even the basic prerequisites such as Jacob Jiang Fuliu cannot be reached, the other party will not admit it at all.
Now not only have all the prerequisites been met, but the Princess Regent has also tasted the sweetness of bilateral trade. The goods exchanged from the Yongye Group Army do not even need to be unloaded. They are sent all the way down the river directly to the royal capital of Valais.
Products such as honey, medicinal materials, furs, ceramics, colored glaze, canned fruits, etc. are all selling very well.
Especially the dazzling ceramics and glazes are highly sought after by nobles and nobles.
This is thanks to the secret society of witches. Ceramics are an exclusive product of the Yongye Army, but colored glaze is not.
Glaze has been around for decades and has been recognized by the people of the Byron League, especially the church of St. Ethereum, which likes to use colorful glazed glass to show its uniqueness and luxury.
However, due to various reasons such as technology and transportation, the output of colored glaze has always been small, and the supply exceeds demand in the Byron League.
They faced a mature market as soon as they got started. With the current output of the Evernight Army, even the large market of the royal capital of Valesta could not be filled in a short period of time, let alone other territories.
Ceramics, on the other hand, took advantage of it, and it was eye-catching enough. In order to show off their taste, those nobles and nobles would use it as a luxury product and display it in the most conspicuous position.
That's right, until now, ceramics have been positioned the same as colored glaze, a luxury product that only those with wealth can afford.
It simply cannot reach the level of being used as daily necessities in thousands of households.
It's not a question of whether ordinary people can afford it, but where the output is.
This can be regarded as a certain degree of rareness.
The Yongye Group Army is building a new ceramics and glaze factory. This time they are not going it alone, but a three-way joint venture between Princess Sophia, Countess Angiebeina and the Yongye Group Army.
One side provides money and connections, the other side provides coal mine resources and manpower, and the other side provides technical and management guidance personnel.
This is the way the Yongye Group Army shares interests to make the relationship between the two parties closer.
Let’s not talk about giving away profits or not. The Yongye Army itself does not produce coal mines, and the firing of ceramics and colored glazes is a large consumer of coal. At that time, it will have to rely on the coal mines controlled by Countess Angie Beina.
Transportation costs are quite high these days. Even with the Jacobs River water transportation line, it can only reduce transportation costs by one-third to half.
Instead of doing this, it is better to build the factory directly in the place where the coal mine is produced. The quality of various clays, sand and Manyu Army is no worse than that of the Andis Mountains. This place is originally made of soil brought out from the Andis Mountains.
of.
In this way, the production cost is greatly reduced, the selling price remains unchanged, and the extra profit is naturally made.
The regent Princess Sophia cannot be avoided. Of course Sean knows that direct sales can make money faster, but they have no channels.
Putting aside the reluctance of Princess Regent Sophie to let their merchant ships penetrate directly into the hinterland of Lancelot's royal territory, even if they entered, it was still a question of whether the Byrons would recognize their goods, especially the main buyers.
Those noble lords.
Once you hang up the banner of Princess Regent, it will be different.
These days, there is no talk of power-money transactions or collusion between officials and businessmen. The royal power is supreme. Every plant and tree in the Lancelot royal domain is the private property of the royal family. Sophia has no need to harm her own people.
Yes or no.
Therefore, in many cases, the royal family is an iron-clad signboard and a guarantee of credibility.
This is also true. Not to mention the royal family and those grand ducal families, even those small families that have been inherited for decades also attach great importance to family reputation, because this is the basis for their family to continue to inherit and prosper.
A family with a flawed reputation will be scorned and ostracized, and no one will be willing to cooperate with it.
Of course, there is no shortage of intrigues in the family, but they are only carried out in private and rarely brought to the table.
The regent princess invited Sean to attend the four-party meeting, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to turn the original private agreement into an open one.
The Eternal Night Army is also happy to facilitate this matter, because by then, they will transform from aliens to a member of the Byron Alliance.
Whether those Byronians recognize it is one thing, but whether they have such a big name is another.
At that time, it will be greatly beneficial for them to plot the swamp of despair.
In any case, this is a great good thing with far-reaching significance for the Yongye Army.
For this reason, the Yongye Army mobilized its troops. Not only did the supreme commander Sean go there in person, but he was also accompanied by Andis Tiger Tagore, Ericson and Ben Hebrew.
On the contrary, the important Skullbreaker McGee did not accompany him, but led his troops to the Twin Cities. As backup, the forces of the Evernight Army also gathered in the Twin Cities without leaving a trace.
The four parties are allies who are about to conclude an alliance. Before the meeting is officially held, they have reached a basic consensus in private, and the possibility of falling out and going to war is almost zero.
But be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Of course, you must be prepared for the way forward.
What's more, things on the negotiating table often require military support.
If the Yongye Group Army did not have three armies and twelve corps in its hands, the more good things they brought out, the more prying eyes they would attract, and the faster they would perish.
What they now have is no longer an invitation to the four-party talks, but a letter of challenge before the full-scale invasion by Princess Regent Sophilia.
Regarding this, Sean had a clear understanding of this very early on. Therefore, even though they had many good things in their hands at that time, they still hid them and did not dare to show them out for fear of causing death.
There are no more worries now. The Yongye Group Army is now considered powerful. Not only does it have enough force to protect itself, but it also has enough strategic depth in its territory. It is difficult to shake their foundation with just one or two military leaders.
Why do we say there are twelve corps of the three armies?
In the past two years, the focus of the Yongye Group Army has been around Jacob Jiang Fuliu, but its development speed has not stagnated at all.
As the population base exploded, a new round of recruitment expansion was of course necessary, and the Third Army was established to make the Yongye Army worthy of its name and fully operational.
At the same time, the Third Corps stationed in the northern fortress was transferred out and the Northern Corps was established.
The special characteristics of the Northern Corps are not inferior to that of the Skull Crusher Corps. Now the soldiers of the Yongye Army must be screened by them first, and then it is the turn of other corps.
In addition to the special personnel, it is also because their main defensive direction is the grassland, they have a large number of war horses in their hands, and they are developing towards the cavalry regiment.
The current limitation on its organization is its military resources. In the future, it is estimated that it will establish a second legion with independent organization.
The remaining two outer regiments are the old regiments, Skullcrusher McGee's Guards Corps, the Skullcrusher Corps and the Independent Engineer Corps.
Due to the marriage with the Cliff Clan and the establishment of a stable relationship, and the completion of the exchange of prisoners of war, the Skull Crusher Corps has a relatively stable supply of troops and is fully staffed. As the heavy-armed regiment of the Yongye Group Army, its position as the number one in frontal combat capabilities cannot be shaken.
The Independent Engineer Corps was originally established for the arduous task of restoring the flow of the Jacob River and blasting to block it.
After the successful blasting of Lanjiangshan, it was not dismantled. Instead, it was reorganized into an independent demolition corps and continued to do what they were best at, researching black powder.
However, this time the research direction is not only about mountain blasting, but how to apply it in war. They have already had a preliminary research direction, which is highly confidential information. Except for a very few senior leaders of the Yongye Group Army, others have even
I don't know where the Independent Demolition Corps is stationed.
The Andes Mountains are so big, it's not easy to hide thousands of people.
Andis Tigers Tagore, Ericsson, and Ban Hebrew have also fully joined the Yongye Army and have their own specific responsible positions.
After the Yongye Army was further expanded, it was no longer appropriate to call him General Xiaon. Now he is the supreme commander of the Yongye Army, but he no longer holds the actual responsibility as before.
Having said that, he was originally a hands-off shopkeeper who only controlled the overall situation and did not interfere in actual affairs. Rather than saying that he was a general, he would be more suitable to be called a lord with the title of general.
Since there has never been a formal title to the outside world, and Sean is unwilling to call himself the king in the mountains, he has not corrected his name. This will be one of the rare purposes for them to participate in the Four-Party Meeting, to get a serious title from the regent princess.
The two parties have basically reached a consensus in private about banning the account, and it will just be a process.
The result of the power breakdown is that Skullcrusher McGee also serves as the general of the First Army, Andis Tiger Tagore serves as the general of the Second Army, and the Third Army was formed by the former Chief of Military Staff Ericson.
.
During his mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe, Ericson fully demonstrated his ability and value. The Yongye Army will no longer show its talent, and the vacant chief of staff position will be taken over by Ban Hebrew.
This position is really suitable for him to continue to shine. Although he is airborne, in terms of ability, there is no doubt about the Yongye Army from top to bottom.
It has to be said that a coach has a great influence on the style of a legion.
These three legions under the name of the Yongye Group Army can be called three brothers from the same mother. No, to be more precise, they should be copies divided into three. The similarities are extremely high.
But when they were divided into different corps commanders, in just two years, they began to have their own unique style and culture, and they were very similar to the coach's personality.
Needless to say, the first legion of Skullcrusher McGee continues the style of the Skullcrusher Corps and attaches great importance to the development and use of heavy armored infantry. Many who entered the Skullcrusher Corps failed to be selected, but the difference was not too bad, and they were all rejected by McGee.
He was stuffed into his first legion. The selection criteria for the two legions were different. The Skull Crusher Corps was unqualified. But for the ordinary legion, it was also a symbol of Hercules, the best person for heavy armored infantry.
In addition, McGee is a veteran of the Yongye Group Army and is very thick-skinned. He licks his face and runs to the munitions department all day long. He has the largest number of heavy armors in his army.
Under the influence of Andis Tiger Tagore's Second Legion, they had a soft spot for all kinds of beasts. Each guard kept its own war beasts, mostly tigers and bears. Of course, these war beasts were not ordinary beasts.
, but a magic-like monster produced by the Biological Anomaly Research Institute.
They have formed a set of tactics of their own around these monsters. This set of tactics is not effective against heavy infantry like the First Legion, but against those cavalry, it is a surprise, which is one against one. This is what Tagore originally said
It has been actually verified on the Kogel Grassland.
When the military exercise debuted last year, it really attracted a lot of attention and made many people very excited. Among them, the Northern Corps even sent a special team to exchange learning experiences. After all, they have natural advantages (Director of the Institute of Biological Anomalies)
The base is in the northern fortress), and the enemy is mainly cavalry.
In this regard, they actually fell behind the Second Army, which was really shameful.
The shame is not terrible, the terrible thing is not being able to admit it.
The Northern Corps does not have such a bad habit. It corrects its mistakes and goes against the current.
Compared to the first and second legions, Bulls Eriksen did not do more tricks, but used his rigid energy to lead the third legion.
Stereotype is a derogatory term most of the time.
But in the military, it is an out-and-out compliment.
Because it represents strict discipline and strict prohibitions.
He accumulated the daily training of the Third Army to a terrifying level. When anything accumulates to a certain amount, it will undergo a qualitative change.
Among the three major armies, the Third Army ranks first when it comes to collective military literacy.
His four or five years of service as chief of staff left an indelible mark on him, making him attach great importance to collective wisdom. He not only focused on the military literacy training of officers at all levels of the Third Army, but even established a corps-level military training within himself.
Staff, assisting him in command.
Sean did not interfere in such private sector matters.
As the top officer of a legion, this right should still be retained, and Sean also wanted to see how far the other party could achieve it.
The idea of a corps-level staff headquarters has been in place for a long time, but the talent pool in the Yongye Group Army is not sufficient yet. Even if they try to recruit generals from within, they will not be able to extract them, so they are temporarily stranded.
It would be a good thing if the Bulls Eriksen could teach a group of qualified staff step by step.
Rigidity in running the army does not mean that Bulls Eriksen uses rigid tactics. If anyone dares to regard this as a weakness of his character, he will probably not be able to live with it.
Generally speaking, the capabilities of the three legions are very complementary, and the combination of offense and defense turns the Andis Mountains into a huge rock, as stable as a mountain.
