The people of Luzon are no longer strangers there. Although the Principality of Comini has been annexed, most of the troops of the Principality of Comini have also submitted to the newly established Kingdom of Luzon. After all, blood is thicker than water. When Comini When the principality has become history, the mentality of fellow Andeans is still enough for the vast majority of Comini people to accept the reality. Of course, this does not include some extremists and soldiers who hate the feeling of betrayal.
Cui Wenxiu had already analyzed the current strength of the Luzon Army many times on the way to assuming the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Central Continental Front. After the expansion of the Luzon Grand Duke's Army, it would be around 500,000 people. This is already the limit. The number is up, and the Comini army was originally about 400,000. After this annexation war, the power that truly came into the hands of the Kingdom of Luzon was about six out of ten. In other words, there were more than 250,000 troops. The Comini army was recruited by Frederick and Kloof through various means, and the King of Luzon's army theoretically reached a record number of 750,000. However, after being reorganized after the war, Cui Wenxiu concluded that if the Luzon Kingdom could retain 650,000 troops, it would already be a considerable number.
The military is not something that can only be determined by a wise commander. It requires real economic strength to back it up. With the current national strength of the Kingdom of Luzon, even if it annexes Comini, supporting an army of 650,000 will be a struggle to maintain. The ending, and they still need to spend a lot of time digesting the oily but somewhat choked bones of the Comini block. But now that they control the five provinces of Tik, the situation is very different. The Tik people control the southern five provinces, which are famous rice, sugar and jute producing areas in the Indian Kingdom. Rice production accounts for the total of the Indian Kingdom. The output is more than half, the sugar output is also more than half of the kingdom's output, and the jute output accounts for 70% of the entire kingdom. Jute is the best raw material for ship cables, sail ropes and other durable braids, and is widely used in Exporting to the southern region of the mainland can be exchanged for a large amount of money. It was also the original most important export material for the Tik people.
The Indian nation is influenced by the teachings of the main religion, Romanism, and the idea of resignation is quite popular among all ethnic groups in the entire Indian region, especially in the eastern region. According to Cui Wenxiu, if the people of Luzon work hard, It would take less effort to establish a foothold in this territory, and it might even be easier than annexing and integrating Comini. This is also what Cui Wenxiu is most worried about.
If the Luzon people gain a foothold on this land, then this land will provide generous returns to the Luzon people. The export of jute will provide them with sufficient development funds, and the huge rice production will be even more important. It can provide sufficient food security for the Kingdom of Luzon, which is undoubtedly bad news for the empire. Therefore, Cui Wenxiu personally believes that dealing with Luzon talents is a top priority. Compared with the Yakuan area where Niyeism is believed, the Hansen Alliance and the Holy Spirit Cult have all the advantages. But if you want to completely bring the Yakuan region under your control, you still have to spend some money. Moreover, with its own side to contain and secretly support, the Yakuan region will not be so easy to calm down. The stubborn temper of the Yakuan people will allow the Hansen Alliance to try and find out that some Indians are not as weak as they imagined, so that It is also a good thing that the Hansen Alliance and Niye teach people to fight each other and consume the energy of the Hansen Alliance. Of course, it is a basic bottom line that the Hansen Alliance must not be allowed to have an absolute advantage.
After deciding on the strategy of dealing with the Luzon people first, Cui Wenxiu also knew that the Luzon people were not as simple as the Luzon people before. They had two military experts, Frederick and Kluf, to work hard. The Luzon army's reorganization of the Comini army went very smoothly, and it is said that Frederick's brother Yulan has basically recovered and started to help his father Brundtland handle political affairs. The two brothers have a very good relationship, Yulan Now I fully support my brother's expansion policy. Brothers are united and can make a difference. This sentence seems to be well interpreted in the Kingdom of Luzon.
Cui Wenxiu believes that if he wants to defeat the Luzon people who have a certain advantage in South India in the Indian region, he must work hard on Luzon itself and their connection with the Komini region. He has set his sights on The Patamao area south of the Pamir region is the throat of Luzon mainland connecting to the Komini region corridor. If we can capture the Patamao area, we will undoubtedly seize the throats of the Luzon people, not only cutting off the Luzon mainland. Connecting the corridor to the northern area of Komini, the entire corridor area is actually under its control.
Therefore. When the situation was so tense, Cui Wenxiu would not go to India to take charge first, but instead went to Northern Luzon to inspect.
"Master Cui, this is Pamir Town, the central market town in the Pamir region. To the west is the endless green sea swamp. Boating can also be done in this lake and swamp. There are both Andes and many people living in this area. They are ethnic minorities, but their population is less than 100,000. From here to the northwest along the edge of the lake, about eighty miles away is the Mingzhu Town of Shuangdui Prefecture. From here, sixty miles southward, you can see Patmao City in the distance. We start from It's about 180 miles from Huoshan Mansion, and this Sangui zone is the general scope of the Pamir region."
Kong Yunchen, the new governor of Northern Luzon, is probably not very familiar with the Pamir region. After all, he has only taken office not long ago. For this region that does not even have a city, it may be quite important from a military perspective, but from an economic development perspective Generally speaking, the light and heat conditions here are no worse than those of the other three prefectures in Northern Luzon, but the backward transportation conditions, rugged terrain, and sparse population are considerable constraints for this area. Naturally, it is difficult to attract the governor too much. Pay more attention. As the new Governor of Northern Luzon, this is the second time Kong Yunzhen has come here since he took office. The first time was a courtesy visit at the beginning of his term.
"Well, Mr. Kong, the Pamir region seems to be quite barren, with a sparse population, complex ethnic composition, and rugged geographical terrain. This region is probably the difficulty in the development of Northern Luzon now." Cui Wenxiu held the binoculars in his hand I didn’t give up, but as the vast expanse of the lake and swamp area gradually moved towards the undulating hills in the south, the climate here was close to that of a tropical climate. However, because the terrain was slightly higher, it didn’t feel as humid, hot, and sunny as a tropical climate. Although it is strong, it is a bit dryer.
"Master Cui, to be honest, this Pamir may be very important in the eyes of the military, but from the perspective of economic development, it is a typical piece of useless land. The natural conditions are not good, and it is located in a corner. The Green Sea Swamp blocks the west. Now, the Patamao area is in a hostile state with us. Relatively speaking, it is very closed. Except for the Shuangdui and the volcano in the north, the road conditions limit its access, so my initial plan is not If we list this place as a primary development area, the conditions of Huoshan Mansion are much better than here. The same investment in Huoshan Mansion can receive at least double the return." Kong Yunzhen did not hide himself. true thoughts.
"Haha, that's right. The Volcano Mansion is indeed in a unique location and is suitable for development. However, I still want to remind Mr. Kong that although the Governor is a civilian official, he is also obliged to assist the garrison in national defense preparations. The Pamir region is in a strategic position I believe I don’t need to elaborate on the importance of this. One thing I can tell Mr. Kong clearly is that in the Central Continent Theater, where I now control hundreds of thousands of troops, if you want to have a good fight with the Luzon people, your North If Luzon County wants to develop two more lands, I'm afraid it will fall in the Pamir region." Cui Wenxiu put down the telescope in his hand and handed it to the staff officer next to him, smiling half-seriously.
"Oh? Isn't Mr. Cui's main target this time the Indian side? Will he also do some business in the Luzon homeland?" Kong Yunzhen was interested when he heard that he knew that he was appointed as the leader this time. The Governor of Northern Luzon County is afraid that he will not be transferred in three to five years. In other words, if he does not make some achievements in Northern Luzon, he may have to stay in Northern Luzon. But now the territory of Northern Luzon is only so big. Although the natural conditions of the four prefectures in Northern Luzon are good, after all, the development time is too short. This area was originally the most barren area in Luzon. After several years of development, the economic level has been rapid. The improvement is just that there is still a long way to go compared with other inland areas of the empire. Of course, he hopes that his county can have two counties with better economic foundations, so that he can have much more room to play.
"Hey, Mr. Kong, the law of war is unpredictable. To attack the Luzon people's power in the Indian area, it does not have to be carried out in the Indian area. Isn't it in the military book to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao? As long as we defeat the Luzon people here If it hurts, their arrogance in India will naturally decline, and their main force will be attracted to move eastward. By then, we will have more options to choose from in India." Cui Wenxiu laughed loudly: "What I just said about adding two more provinces to your Northern Luzon County is not groundless. Both Patmao and Manlong are directly within the attack circle of our army. According to the current situation, as long as we are willing to plan for these two places, ,Everything is possible."
The current garrison in the Manlong area is quite weak, which is also one of Cui Wenxi's focuses. If an attack can be launched here, almost the entire central and northern parts of Luzon will become the frontline of the imperial army, forcing the main force of the Luzon army to move eastward. .
