"Well, it's interesting. It seems that you, Pauling, are still hiding it from me. Shake it out if you have anything, and don't let me hesitate." Wu Feng's face finally turned from gloomy to clear, His eyes were also wandering on the faces of Bao Lin and Ling Tianfang, as if he suspected that they were playing a double act for him.
"Your Highness, the Luzon in the south and the Hansen Alliance in the west have already adopted an aggressive attitude. The Luzon garrison in the Comini area has not been reduced because of the easing of the situation in Comini. On the contrary, it has A large number of the original Comini army has been integrated by the Luzon people, and is undergoing active training after reorganization in the territory of Comini. With the original level and foundation of the Comini army, I believe it will not take long to return to its original strength. State, it is obvious that Frederick wanted this army to become the main force of the Luzon Kingdom's Northern Expedition. Of course, the Luzon people's own army will also play the leading role. His subordinates have understood and calculated that the Luzon people are now in Komi The number of troops stationed in Nepal and Ruchar Province has reached 350,000, and at least 250,000 of these 350,000 troops can be used on the Indian battlefield."
"The Hansen Alliance to the west is also watching with eager eyes. Although the situation in the territory of the Yakuans has not been completely settled, there are already traces of Hansen Alliance troops in the territory of the Yakuans. They are nominally helping the Holy Spirit. The church guards missionary sites and protects missionaries and businessmen from those Niye extremists. However, judging from the scale of the troops stationed, it is showing an explosive growth trend. Fortunately, the middle and lower class people in the Yacuan people have strong feelings towards the Holy Spirit Cult. There's a lot of animosity and it gives us some time to adjust our approach."
"My subordinate's opinion is that now that the domestic war is over, if His Highness allows it, we might as well mobilize three to four army regiments to station in the Indian region and Northern Luzon respectively, and coordinate with three to four ranger regiments. I thought that we could completely reverse the situation and regain the advantage. There is also an Andean Corps in the Pamir area, and my subordinates thought that this should be a good breakthrough point. We can increase our troops in this area. We have not always acknowledged the Luzon people's The annexation of the Principality of Comini? Then the Andean Corps can openly use the Pamir to harass the Luzon people. If we station heavy troops here again and assume a posture of being able to go south at any time, we should be able to disrupt the Luzon people's plans. Deployment. Similarly, we can also use this method to deal with the Hansen Alliance. The reason why the Hansen Alliance is so arrogant now is that the focus of the Chidi people's strategy has shifted to the Famini Empire and its vassal small countries and city-states in the northwest. Now, after the great changes in the past two years, the Luobei people have hardly posed any threat to the northeast of the Hansen Alliance, so they can free up their hands to go west. If the Luobei people can attack their southwest border as usual, The region continues to cause trouble for the Hansen Alliance. I don’t think the Holy Spirit Church will be so smooth and easy in the Yakuan territory.”
Ling Tianfang and Su Qin couldn't help but look at the guy in front of them with admiration. This guy couldn't come up with such a sinister trick, especially the way to make the Luobei people repeat the nomadic intrusion every year. I am afraid that it will become a nightmare for the countries and city-states in the northern part of the Hansen Alliance, and the Luzon people are afraid that it will not be easy. The Andes Corps is familiar with the people and can maximize their capabilities, and the Pamir region will become their The most solid rear base. Even if the people of Luzon knew it, there was nothing they could do about it. Originally, Western Xinjiang did not recognize Luzon's annexation of Comini, and even if they wanted to argue, they could not open their mouths. The only thing that can be done is to solve it through military means, and this is what the Tanghe side hopes. It can at least disrupt the Luzon people's wishful thinking in the Tike territory.
"In addition, we can also actively contact the Niye Cult forces in the Yakuan region. Aren't the Niye Cult forces in the Western Region also under our control? By building a bridge through this line, I think Yakuan should become It is even more lively. Now the Niye religion in the interior of the Yakuan territory has been suppressed and has lost power in the upper class society. However, the Niye religion still has considerable power in the middle and lower classes. This is a good time for us to intervene. .Only relying on the middle and lower class people, the Niye Cult will be expelled from this area sooner or later, so joining forces with us should be a win-win situation. I believe they will understand this. As long as we can get the support of the Niye Cult, The Yakuans will not allow themselves to become the Holy Spirit Cult's family, and there is still room for fun in this struggle."
Pauling, who was in high spirits, could not help but feel high-spirited by the end. His voice even increased a lot when he spoke, and his eyes shone, as if he had seen that beautiful scene.
Seeing Baoling's appearance, Wu Feng was both angry and funny. This guy had a very good idea. He seemed to have completely forgotten that there were other enemies around him, as if the new empire no longer needed to take into account other enemies and only needed to fight with all its strength. If the progress is average, maybe one day I will go all-out westward, but not yet.
"Pauling, you have a big appetite. You want three to four hundred thousand troops. Well, there are also one hundred thousand cavalry to cooperate. Do you really think we have to rely on Indians for a living now?" Wu Feng said angrily: "You don't know what the Liberians are planning to do in the north, right? The Japanese still occupy our treasure islands, Kamchatka Island and the Cook Islands, and are still spying on the mainland. The Machikhans not only annexed the empire The territories of Ankun, the Kingdom of Jemelo and the Kingdom of Yuejing still occupy the eastern part of Sanjiang. These enemies that directly threaten the mainland of our empire are more fierce and vicious than the last. They have concentrated their forces on the central continent, so our foundation is even greater. don't want?"
"But Your Highness, it is precisely because our new empire is now in the process of being established that we are in great need of funds in all aspects. Look at the banks that have developed in India. Which one of them is not making a lot of money? Your Highness, don't you know? I have been traveling around India for so long, and I know that the Panja people are already rich enough, and I don’t need to elaborate on the wealth of the Hyderabad people. Which one of the Solian tribe and the Mish tribe is not the richest? Tik. Although the tribe and its vassal tribes are not good at fighting, they are not bad at accumulating wealth. Look at the fertile land of Ma Pingchuan. What can be grown there instead of wheat and cotton? These tribes have hundreds of years of history. Gold, Gemstones, diamonds, and jade are all local specialties here. Do you think they can't be rich? The only thing that makes my subordinates confused is that in such an environment, the people are not rich. All this wealth has been concentrated in their so-called Compared with the nobles here, the gentry and nobles in our empire are simply incomparable. If we can control this place, it will undoubtedly be an endless blessing to our new empire. The endless treasury can provide the most solid financial backing for all plans of our empire." Pauling put forward his opinion confidently.
Wu Feng became more and more suspicious that the guy in front of him was colluding with Ling Tianfang to play a double act in front of him. The lack of financial support for the new empire was a difficulty faced by every new dynasty when it was first established. India's wealth has always attracted people. Everyone in the military is interested in this, and this is what the military is most interested in. Just the acquisition of a side branch provides the best opportunity for the army's rapid expansion. Without the support of that fund, the army's major I'm afraid I don't even know where the main army is yet. Now that we are facing competition from our opponents, if we don't make a strong debut first, I'm afraid this battle will be even more difficult to fight in the future.
"Your Highness, I also think that Pauling's views and ideas are worthy of our consideration. Although we must safeguard our rights and interests in the empire, the empire is about to enter a new period, and the demand for funds from all aspects is huge, especially Our army and navy need a period of rapid development. If we can seize the favorable opportunity to fully enter the Indian region, we can not only gain huge benefits, but also take this opportunity to train our army, especially those who have not experienced a war or say Newly formed armies that need some combat training can be pushed into this area, whether it is Northern Luzon or India, whether it is fighting the Luzon people, or fighting the Hansen allies, let alone The Indians are willing to pay, but even if they don't, my subordinates think it's still worth it." Ling Tianfang didn't mind what Wu Feng guessed, he just stated his opinions according to his own thoughts.
"As for the domestic issues your Highness mentioned, we now have as many as a dozen legions, and we are also looking at the remaining armies of the empire that can be streamlined and reorganized. It should be said that there are still many in the Northern Army and City Guards who have certain capabilities. Instead of sending them back home, it is better to break them up into new troops that use some of the backbone troops drawn from our Western Xinjiang Army as a framework, and then send them to these battlefields. Go sharpen them, I'm afraid the effect will be much better than letting them go home directly, especially some veterans who have been there for many years. After they return to their hometowns, they will have nothing and no survival skills. They will definitely be full of resentment towards the new empire and will become a member of the empire. There are unstable factors, and allowing them to show their talents outside the region will not be in vain for them to serve as soldiers for a lifetime."
Ling Tianfang's words not only made Pauling nod repeatedly, but Su Qin, who had never expressed any opinions, slightly nodded his head in agreement. This was like pushing the Taiping Army to disperse and rebuild on the battlefields of Northern Luzon and India. Similarly, even if there is some dissatisfaction outside the territory, it will be easier to unite together when the place is unfamiliar. In this kind of mentality, the military's combat effectiveness will be more easily stimulated.
