Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters fixed collar capital
"Yes, Lord, this issue cannot be postponed any longer. Our leader of the Yongye Army is quite famous, but we don't even have a leader of our own. It's really a joke."
"A snake cannot survive without a head. The same is true for a territory. Having a common territorial capital can enhance the centripetal force of the territory's people."
"This is not only our intention, but also the wish of the soldiers and the people below. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the capital of their own."
"This issue should really be taken seriously, and it must be settled this time no matter what."
The senior leaders of the Yongye Army tried to persuade Sean, taking the problem of the capital to a whole new level. It seemed that without the capital, the Yongye Army would not be able to continue to develop and expand, and they would have no shame in going out to meet people.
Sean smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, no need to say any more, I understand what you mean, when did I say that I will come even if I don't establish a collar? This is one of the issues of this military council. Since
We’ve all mentioned it, let’s talk about it, where is the appropriate place for our collar?”
"Choose to expand the existing city? Or prepare to build a new one?" Marshall was the first to ask. This matter has the greatest relationship with him. Regardless of whether to choose to expand or build a new city, a large amount of funds will be allocated.
Their wealth is staggering, but their expenses are equally horrific.
Scientific research on various black technologies requires money, military expenditures require money, various benefits and benefits set by military leaders require money, major infrastructure projects require money, and the training of students in the academy city requires money... Anyway, as long as there are personnel transfers, as long as there are projects,
You have to need money.
Now Marshall is like a miser, keeping a close eye on the treasury of the Yongye Army, carefully calculating every income and expenditure, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will easily have a fiscal deficit.
"This is yet to be determined. I want to hear your opinions first." Sean did not answer Marshall's question directly. "Everyone can speak freely about this matter. There is no absolute right or wrong, but you can't talk nonsense. At least give a few recommendations.
This city or the reason for choosing this place to establish territory, who will start now?"
"I'll go first." Marshall, the administrative and financial manager of the Yongye Army, said first, "I think the Twin Cities are good. It is the first large city built by our Yongye Army, and its infrastructure is very complete in all aspects.
Needless to say, it is now regarded as a postcard and a symbol of our Yongye Army. Not to mention its economic importance, this is our largest transit and economic center."
Marshall's superficial meaning is also the most obvious. The subsequent expansion project is determined to be minimal and cost-effective here.
"Twin Cities cannot do that. Its geographical location is too far forward. It is more like a gateway than a territorial capital. Even if the territorial capital of a territory is not the center, it should at least be close to the middle, right?" Kyle
Chief of Staff Mann was the first to object, "It's too casual to settle here."
"The Twin Cities are not the center of our territory now, how do you know they won't be in the future? Once our lord marries Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, this will be the most critical point connecting the two territories. The reason why the generals of other territories choose this location
The central location is for the convenience of control. No matter which corner of the territory you reach, the speed is the fastest. Our territory does not have such worries. It will not take long to go upstream." Marshall insisted on his opinion and supported the Twin Cities.
, because of the large amount of wealth it created, he has a good impression of this city.
"Your reason is somewhat tempting, but I still don't think the Twin Cities is a suitable choice. Its geographical location determines its irreplaceable economic status. Whether it becomes a territorial capital or not, the difference is not big. On the contrary, it is
Terrain is a limitation. When the population is small, the surrounding land is barely enough. What happens when the population increases? Think of the Valesta of the Lancelot royal family. With just the twin cities, even if they desperately expand, how can they accommodate such a large amount of land?
Large population?”
Chief of Staff Kelman glanced at Marshall sideways and said, "Or does General Marshall have doubts about the development potential of our territorial capital? Does he think we don't have the ability to build such a super city?"
Marshall opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said: "My vision was too narrow. I only saw immediate benefits. I didn't expect that in the future, the topographic limitations of the Twin Cities would indeed be a big problem that cannot be avoided. Chief of Staff Kelman
What’s a better option?”
"I can't talk about better options. I personally prefer Brother Port. Although it is in the early stages of construction, its geographical location is absolutely nothing to say. The two rivers intersect, the terrain is flat, and the area can be infinitely expanded to three sides. The Swamp of Despair must be our future development.
If it is set as the center of gravity, it will definitely speed up the process in this regard, thus driving the development of the entire Swamp of Despair."
This proposal by Chief of Staff Kelman, not to mention the senior officials who were from the Crocodile Tribe, was not expecting it. The elders of the Yongye Army also looked at it with suspicion.
They had previously considered the capital of the Yong Ye Army, but they had not jumped out of the Andis Crater. Not only was this their starting point, but also because the geographical advantages here were good enough, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
His proposal was outside the box.
But this is in line with his past way of thinking that doesn't take the usual path.
One thing he probably didn't say clearly was that it would be easier to win over the people of the Crocodile tribe if the generals were stationed here, which further reflected the determination and sincerity of the Yongye military leaders towards the integration of the two sides.
“I have to say that Chief of Staff Kelman’s proposal is very bold and very forward-thinking.” Chief of Staff Brann praised a few words and then changed the topic, “But it is precisely because it is too bold and too advanced that it actually
Unsuitable. No one can deny the unique geographical advantages of Brother Port. It will inevitably become the second twin port of the Yongye Army, a cargo distribution center on the Donau River, and a key point for radiating the management of surrounding territories. This was originally
We gave it full consideration when choosing its location, but if we choose it as the territorial capital, it has a fatal flaw."
"I would like to hear the details." Chief of Staff Kelman looked like he was listening.
"Security, as the future political, economic, and cultural center of a territory, the security of the territory should be ranked first. The transportation in Brother Port is too convenient, and there is no danger in the surrounding areas. Once it develops and grows, it will inevitably need a group army.
Only by permanently stationing it can we protect its safety. By then, this will be a waste of our military strength. The second issue is the construction plan. If we want to fully develop the Swamp of Despair, it will take at least four to five years. We can't build it well.
Just throw it away. Therefore, I think Brother Port can become one of our core cities, but it is not suitable to become the territorial capital." Brann said in conclusion.
"Safety issue? Security issue! This is indeed the key point, but I didn't take it into consideration." Chief of Staff Kelman asked, "So Chief of Staff Brann's ideal location for the territorial capital is still in Andis.
Within the crater?”
"That's right." Chief of Staff Brann said with a smile, "Our ancestors, the Ancient Andis Empire, have never faced similar choices. They chose the Andis crater as their capital, and they didn't use all the advantages.
Did I say too much? There are many comments in the history books that it is possible to control the two major arteries of the Jacob River and the Donau River, and the Andis inland basin can become a world of its own. As long as it controls the two major natural dangers of the Twin Cities and the Death Channel
, now at most we can add another ruins fortress group, and we can sit back and relax, we don’t even need to keep the city defense troops, we can just start building next to the old site of the imperial capital, and even the name is ready-made, how about New Bressan?"
"Can I understand what Chief of Staff Bryan is implying?" Chief of Staff Kelman joked, "I find that Chief of Staff Bryan is the most ambitious among us."
"This is what you think about. It has nothing to do with me at all." Chief of Staff Brann garbled his mouth and denied it.
"The Ancient Andis Empire has been destroyed for more than three hundred years." Skullcrusher Mikey said casually next to him.
"Can you speak?" Sean couldn't help laughing and scolding, "If you can't speak, just shut up. No one will think you are mute. The demise of the Guandis Empire was purely due to self-inflicted suicide. It caused public resentment, let alone
Just built inside a crater, even if it floats in the sky, it will still be knocked down, or do you think we will follow in the footsteps of the ancient Andis Empire?"
"I'm just telling the truth. I didn't say anything else. It's because you are too sensitive and have too many associations." McGee said with an innocent face.
"Just stay there, a dog can't spit out ivory." Sean said angrily, no longer talking nonsense with him.
This guy is purely idle. When it comes to this kind of thing, he basically can't do anything like those with strong limbs and simple minds. He can only stare and listen.
The last time Skullcrusher McGee woke up the senior leaders of the Yongye Army with his words, it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. It was not like Sean's compliment, that he really had his brain enlightened and reached the level of Chief of Military Staff.
At best, he has attended many military meetings held by the Yongye Army, listened more, gained more knowledge, his thinking is not so rigid, he knows how to think, and occasionally he has a flash of inspiration.
But don't expect them to formulate complete military strategies. They don't have the brain capacity.
However, after the gag made by Skull Crusher McGee, the red-faced atmosphere that had just been fought was obviously relieved a lot.
"What do you think of my opinion? Is there any objection?" Chief of Staff Brann asked as he looked around the crowd.
"You have even moved out the Ancient Andis Empire, how can we refute it? After wandering around, it is more appropriate for our territory to be placed in the Andis Basin, next to the Andis Inland Lake." General Ericson
He smiled and said, "In terms of safety, future development planning, and transportation convenience, it can be said that everything is taken care of. The only thing I don't agree with is the location. The original site of the ancient Andis Empire capital is indeed a good choice, but it has become a
The huge lake divides the surrounding terrain into three, and the construction of the territorial capital seems too piecemeal. It is better to move fifty kilometers eastward and start construction directly on the edge of the Andis inland lake. Of course, we can roughly circle the area.
At that time, professionals like Mr. Ferdinand need to take action. If the foundation is not suitable, all our talk will be in vain."
"I also agree with the location next to Andis Inland Lake."
"I agree!"
"I agree too."
"Where is your lord? Do you have any better ideas?"
All eyes turned to Sean, who had to make the final decision on this matter.
"You have eliminated all the options, and the remaining ones are the best. I also vote for Chief of Staff Brann's New Bressan." Sean said with a smile.
This result did not exceed his expectations. In his psychological expectation, the first choice for the territory of the Yongye Army was near the Andis Inland Lake. As they analyzed, the geographical advantage was too obvious.
Not only is transportation convenient, but the most important thing is that security is guaranteed. Maintaining a city defense force of 50,000 people like Valesta's all year round, but unable to mobilize it at will, is quite expensive.
Although there is no way for the Yongye Army to completely eliminate this area in the future, it can be significantly reduced, which will save a considerable part of the military expenditure.
In fact, not only the future territorial capital, but also the entire towns within Andis Crater have such advantages.
As long as these four key points, the Twin Cities, the Death Aqueduct, the Northern Fortress and the ruins fortress complex, can be held in check, no enemy can launch a surprise attack on the Evernight Army-led town in the Andis Crater from the outside.
All they need to consider are internal security issues and the increasingly frequent incidents of wild beast mutations.
For the former, a police system adapted from the Militia and Self-Defense Forces is sufficient.
The latter has a mountain patrol team, and in the near future, the mountain Kentana barbarians represented by the Cliff Clan will join.
This is a main war race. Letting them open up wasteland and cultivate land will undoubtedly be a waste of natural resources.
Yes, they are indeed very powerful, but when it comes to cultivating land, they are no better than an old farmer paired with a well-trained four-horned mountain ox.
In Sean's psychological positioning, the mountain Kentana barbarians who are about to join will be the main battle race of the Eternal Night Army.
Intermarriage with the Andis and Crocodile tribesmen is allowed, but there is no plan to encourage it through preferential policies.
It is still necessary to keep their bloodline pure.
There are many ways to integrate races. It is true that intermarriage is the simplest and most direct one, but at the expense of losing combat effectiveness, it is a bit more than worth the gain.
As long as both parties can realize the benefits that the other party brings to them, they will naturally be very happy to accept the existence of the other party.
Among the two options that Sean gave to the leader of the Rock clan of the Cliff Clan, the option of dividing a new settlement for them in the mountains and forests has its own meaning.
Firstly, the half-farming and half-hunting life makes it easier to maintain the savagery in their blood. For soldiers, this savagery is an excellent quality, allowing them to dare to fight and fight.
Secondly, as a supplement to the mountain patrol team, or to be more precise, they are natural members of the mountain patrol team. The incidents of wild beasts returning to ancient times and mutinous changes have not stopped as time goes by, but have become more and more intense.
They are no longer limited to the surroundings of the northern fortress. They can be found throughout the Andis Ring Mountains. This also proves in disguise that the increase in the energy concentration of the environment's spells has exceeded a threshold - the biological design of itself.
A certain threshold, in order to adapt to the changes made in the coming new environment, the instinct of this creature is engraved in their blood and genes.
In the process of returning to ancient times, they will need a lot of food, which will cause them to behave abnormally and hunt prey that is not within the normal hunting range. Some even have unbelievable situations such as crossing the diet, and the probability of attacking people is high.
The amplitude increased.
The leader of the Yongye Army has been artificially hunting and suppressing them, but most of the mountain patrol teams are operating around villages and towns. Those deep in the mountains and old forests are unable to do anything. Firstly, they are limited by the number of people, and secondly, they are limited by their combat effectiveness.
Outstanding young people have been given priority to enter the main army of the Yongye Army. Those who are slightly less qualified have also been selected by the attached engineers. The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat effectiveness is really limited.
Due to their racial superiority, the Mountain Kentana barbarians, even those who are minors and women, possess above-average combat effectiveness. Regardless of their mental abilities, the Mountain Kentana barbarians in their teens are on par with ordinary adults.
What limits their population is not the difficulty of reproduction, but the lack of supplies. With the Yongye Army having sufficient supplies, it won't be long before they will enter a population explosion state. All the senior leaders of the Yongye Army are very confident about this.
.
As long as this force is controlled, the interior of Andis Crater will be impregnable.
Races with simpler minds are easier to master. On this point, Sean has already mastered it.
"Haha, your lord not only agrees with my choice of location, but also with my new name." Chief of Staff Brann laughed.
"It's just a name. It's not up to us to decide what the specific meaning is. Even if we name the new Bastille, we can give it a name. It is the place where we started, and it symbolizes our rebirth from the ashes!" Sean
I don’t attach much importance to the name. “New Bressan, although it may be criticized as being compared with the Ancient Andis Empire, we have always been considered to be the remnants of the Ancient Andis Empire, which is consistent. Ancient Andis Empire
The rule of the Dis Empire in the later period was poor, and the people under its rule were in dire straits. We must respect and pay attention to this history, but it does not mean that if we call it this name, we will repeat the old mistakes. On the contrary, it will remind ourselves not to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.
