In recent decades, although the ruling class of the Lancelot royal family has been in turmoil, and the king and regent have changed several times, the conflicts have remained at the top, and no large-scale war has occurred.
Taking a closer look, the biggest turmoil in the Byron Alliance in recent years is inextricably related to the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
First, there was an uprising by the slave rebel army led by Man Yu, and then they fought for the Swamp of Despair with the Kingsley family. The two sides mobilized a total of more than 400,000 troops. It was already the largest armed conflict in the Byron Alliance in the past ten years.
A relatively stable life will inevitably bring the population into a stage of explosive growth.
There is no family planning in this world, and there are no DINK families.
The pursuit of bloodline continuation and family prosperity is the main tone of this era.
As long as the lords are not overly intelligent, they all know that population means productivity, military power, and scientific research power. It is the basis of everything and encourages fertility.
There is strength in numbers, this saying is absolutely applicable in this era.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army used his own development statistics for thirteen years to prove that on the Ashan continent, it is not only the Odin orcs who have good fertility genes. As long as the food is rich, regardless of the Andis or the Byrons, twins or even multiples will not be born.
It's not something rare.
Taking the above factors into account, the total population under the Lancelot royal family will not be less than 20 million, or even more.
Although the population of the other military leaders of the Byron Alliance is not as explosive as that of the Lancelot royal family, there are always seven or eight million. If you put them all together, a Byron Alliance can reach 100 million.
The two major Odin empires, the East and the West, are limited by their structural systems and do not have such a terrifying population base, but they still have tens of millions.
In comparison, the total population of four million led by the Yongye Army is really nothing.
But with these manpower, the value they create is quite terrifying.
The net trade profit of a Jacob River has already exceeded the total tax revenue of a Byron Alliance military leader at his peak, and this is not all of them.
It's no wonder that in the past year, even if the Yongye Army leader was in a state of war, he still had enough power to support the Duanya clan, and at the same time he could ensure the progress of a large number of internal infrastructure projects.
The leader of the Yongye Army can reach the present step by step from the mountains, which indeed has its own uniqueness.
Just listening to various reports lasted three days.
Although it is extremely boring, it is indeed very informative for those who can listen.
But these are just appetizers. The real meal will come on the fourth day when we talk about planning for the next year. At this time, it is time for the Military Staff Department to perform.
Kelman, the most energetic chief of staff, was the first to come on stage and said: "Everyone has a copy of the latest information. I believe that we have some idea of the complex relationship between the two great Odin Empires in the East and West and the Byron Alliance. I am here to tell you.
Without further ado, a simple summary is that the Theodin Empire has a wise and mighty king. His purpose is to create the glory that his grandfather did not create and restore the unity of the Odin Empire, but in the Tiger Clan.
Under the king's banner.
However, the orthodox royal court of the Odin Empire, the Lion Tribe Royal Court, was not strong enough and was fiercely fighting for power internally, giving the other side an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The Byron Alliance will not sit back and ignore this situation, at least the Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family will not sit back and ignore it. Once the Odin Empire is reunified, under the leadership of a wise king,
Sometimes the most miserable people are them.
Therefore, the Theodin Empire will inevitably go to war with the East Odin Empire, and the Byron Alliance will cause chaos behind it, stabbing the Theodin Empire's knife, making it impossible for them to successfully complete the reunification. As for when the war will start, what will happen to the Byron Alliance?
This is a stabbing method, everything is still pending.
These are not the most important things. What we need to analyze is the impact of this incident on us, and what actions should we take to maximize our interests?"
Andis Tiger Tagore, who had been in a drowsy state for the past three days, suddenly became energetic, widened his eyes and said: "Does the Military Staff have plans to participate in the internal war between the two Odin empires?"
"General Tagore thinks too much. We have little arms and legs. It would be nice if people don't cause us trouble. Even if we want to join the war, we must be able to mobilize troops!" Chief of Staff Kelman spread his hands.
"Since we are not participating in the war, how can we seek benefits? Are they taking the initiative to deliver food to our house?" General Tagore was greatly disappointed.
"It is not necessary to launch a war to gain profits, and the business methods are not bad at all." Chief of Staff Kelman said with a smile, "It is no longer advisable to directly send caravans to the Odin Prairie, but Lord,
The Archduke Cedric line has just been opened. With the help of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, a mutual market will be established there. Our goods can go directly down the river and then be transported to the border through the Valesta Chamber of Commerce.
, thus flowing into the Odin Prairie, because the safety factor has increased significantly, and the profits have also increased."
"I'm afraid this is just a small head!" General Ericson asked with a raised brow.
"That's right." Kelman nodded and said, "This is not our main topic today. This war is somewhat too far away for us. We can't do anything until the situation is clear, but Kogel
In the direction of the grassland, we can breathe a sigh of relief and focus our main energy on other directions, solving our internal problems first."
When this was mentioned, both the senior officials of the Crocodile Clan and Locke and Yale of the Cliff Clan cheered up and looked like they were listening, because most of the internal problems within the Yongye Army Leader were closely related to them.
Chief of Staff Kelman whetted everyone's appetite, and then said: "Our military staff has made a detailed summary of the major issues in the use of troops in the coming year. If you have any questions or want to add, you can interrupt me at any time. We are here
This is just a discussion, not an announcement of a strategic plan.
The first point is the border garrison in the Swamp of Despair. It is obviously too wasteful to station the main battle corps here for a long time. We suggest that we formally prepare to establish a local garrison corps this year. In addition to being used for border garrison, it can also assist nearby towns.
Public security management, assisting the main force in combat when necessary."
"This should indeed be put on the agenda. Now that the territory is so large, our main force alone is a bit stretched." General Ericson nodded in agreement, "However, the source of troops is a problem. We can select all the elites of the right age into the main force.
Corps."
It is true that the Yongye Army now has a total population of more than four million, but the population is getting younger. Nearly one million of them were born in the past ten years after their lives became stable.
In the future, they will definitely be the backbone of the Yongye military leader, but now they need to spend their energy to raise them, and they should not think about it for at least five or six years.
"On the one hand, the generals are selected from within, and on the other hand, the restrictions on women joining the army are further relaxed, at least in the local garrison corps. After all, their main task is to maintain public security and vigilance. General Ericson cannot use it to measure the main force.
They will be measured by the standards of the corps. If that is the case, they will no longer be called the local garrison corps, but directly called the Third Army." Chief of Staff Kelman replied.
"I'm overthinking it, Chief of Staff, please continue." General Ericson said he had no doubts.
"If there are no other questions, I will continue. There are many things involved in the local garrison. When it is actually formed, we will come up with a more detailed plan. It is also not the focus of our discussion today. The focus of our discussion today is later.
On two points.
The second point is the problem of the Klein tribe. It is now a cancer. If it is not completely eradicated, we will always have a group army that is affected by it. However, everyone is already very clear about the special situation of this tribe. There is no
We must fight a tough battle, otherwise even if we eat them, we will suffer heavy losses.
However, after the defensive battle in Brother Port, the wisdom of these guys has obviously upgraded. Now they not only ignore our temptation tactics, but are also shrinking as a whole. Not only do they not continue to expand outward, they even give up their original territory.
Most of them were gathered together, leaving us with nothing to do.
The third point is the issue of the Cliff Clan. I think Chief of Staff Ban Hebrew has more say than me, so let him talk about it!" Kelman transferred the right to speak to Ban Hebrew.
This once powerful figure among the Andis people seemed to have fully adapted to his current role. After everyone turned their attention to him, he said calmly: "The one from the Cliff Clan.
The situation is a bit complicated. Not only are the invading enemies special, but the reasons for the enemy's invasion are also very special.
The individual combat power of Kentana barbarians is terrifying beyond ordinary people's imagination. Every adult Kentana barbarian soldier has the strength of a pseudo-grand knight. On average, there is one grand knight in every ten people, and one in every hundred people.
Champion knights. The most frightening thing is that their physical limits are different from ordinary people. At the same level, their strength has a crushing advantage. Only a mountain Kentana barbarian who activates double giant strength can barely compete with the opponent.
One is longer and the other is shorter.
If you are facing them at the same level, if you have enough space, you can barely hold them back with your skills and speed. Once you are forced into a blind corner by them, you will face naked pressure.
The reason why the Cliff Clan has been able to endure for so long is not because they are strong enough, but because these Kentana barbarians are used to being unorganized, lack a strong voice, and do not form a large-scale army. Otherwise, they will disperse the Cliff Clan and attack them.
It's not a difficult task. Please don't get me wrong, Chief Locke and General Yale. I have no intention of slandering your clan's combat effectiveness. After all, we have fought against each other in person and know the strength of both sides. We are just using this for our own purposes.
Compare."
Yale snorted and said nothing.
Locke, the leader of the Duanya clan, said magnanimously: "Chief of Staff, you are overly worried. What you said is a fact. We have no reason to deny the facts. Besides, our self-esteem is not so fragile. Chief of Staff, just say it honestly."
, otherwise it will not be a good thing for us, the Duanya Clan, due to incorrect intelligence and misjudgments."
"It would be best for Chief Locke to understand this." Ban Hebrew nodded towards Chief Locke and continued: "The Kentana barbarians have not formed a collective and organized a powerful army now. That's because they
By relying on oneself, one can obtain enough living resources. Once we fully intervene, the situation will be difficult to say.
Because they attacked the territory of the Cliff Clan, it was not because they were greedy for the produce here, but because the climate on the Kentana Icefield was abnormal, and the large-scale sea hunting time they relied on for survival was shortened and could not sustain their yearly needs. We will
Rushing back to the Kentana Icefield is equivalent to driving them back to die. They will inevitably fight to the death. It is the instinct of all living things to hold together for warmth. When they face a crisis that they cannot solve individually, they will naturally and unnaturally gather together.
At that time, it will not only be a matter of whether we can drive them out, but whether we can withstand his joint counterattack!"
"Not for territory? But for survival? Then why don't you support us Crocodile Tribe people by giving them some food to help them survive the current crisis, and then won't they retreat on their own?" Bishop wondered.
asked.
They had personally experienced the way that the Yongye military leader used profit to soften people, and it was extremely sharp. Unknowingly, it pulled the hearts of the people he led to their side.
"Sorry, I forgot that this is the first time for you to participate in this kind of military meeting, and you don't know that clearly about the situation of the Kentana barbarians." Chief of Staff Ben Hebrew took the initiative to apologize, "We have discussed this method before.
It passed, but was rejected.
On the one hand, it is because the living customs of the Kentana barbarians are very different from ours. They are an out-and-out powerful society. If the master shows his kindness by giving away food, it is easy for them to interpret it as weak and can be bullied, and they may get worse.
Request more.
On the other hand, the Kentana barbarians gathered here are only part of them. Once they do this, they are likely to attract all the barbarians on the Kentana Icefield. Some of them have already made us miserable. If all of them are
I don’t need to say more about what the scene will be like.”
"That's it." Elder Bishop nodded and said, "I thought of things too simply. Chief of Staff, please continue."
"So, we can't appease here, we can't fight, we can only delay and remain in a stalemate." Ban Heibei, the chief of staff, spread his hands and said, "I am also at my wits end and can't think of a better solution. I hope I can use it.
This is a military meeting to brainstorm ideas and see if there are any better ideas."
"Of these two issues, the issue about the Klein tribe can be put aside for the time being. It is not advisable to confront these monsters that cannot be measured by common sense. We must make full use of our technological advantages to weaken and attack them. Over there in this arsenal
I have been thinking of ways to do it, and it will not be too late to discuss it again after the test results over there come out."
Sean, who had been listening, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said.
"The two main leaders of the Duanya clan are here today. Let's focus on the third issue and discuss it to see if there is an effective solution? It's not good for us to keep dragging on like this.
, which is also not good for the Cliff Clan. After all, this is a sore that keeps bleeding.
According to the intelligence we collected, last year alone, the Duanya Clan lost 723 clan warriors, and the entire Duanya Clan only had 100,000 people, and the full number of clan warriors only amounted to 50,000. If this continues,
In a few years, all the elite members of the Duanya clan will be wiped out."
Sean's last few words were obviously directed at the two leaders of the Cliff Clan, Locke and Yale, and everyone in the conference room focused their attention on them.
After waiting for three days, things finally came to an end. At this moment, Father Locke was in an extremely calm mood. He looked back at Sean and said, "What the Lord said is completely true. I wonder if you have any good opinions?"
Brann, the other main chief of staff, wanted to speak, but was beaten to the punch by Sean, "Chief Locke is a smart man. Let's speak openly. Our assistance to the Cliff Clan is not without a bottom line. In the past, we
Therefore, to assist you, we need you to serve as a barrier between us and the Kentana barbarians to prevent them from directly attacking our territory. Now that the renovation of our defense system is nearing completion, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it this year.
You continue to provide assistance."
"You are trying to burn bridges." Yale, the human bear, suddenly stood up and stared at Sean with wide eyes.
"Burning bridges?" Sean had just preempted what he should have said. This time, Brann's chief of staff did not dare to neglect and jumped out to block the sword's path. "Is General Yale's accusation too serious? It is also too unreasonable.
We are neither subordinates nor allies. At best, we are using each other. We provide assistance to you, and you help me block the Kentana barbarians. This is something both parties know well. We don't need it now.
Withdrawing aid is a matter of course. We are all rational and smart people, so don’t use naive reasons to make people laugh."
"You..." Renxiong Ye's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. In terms of sophistry ability, even if ten of him were tied up, they wouldn't be able to match Bran alone.
