King’s Kingdom - Chapter 276

The current military strength of the Lanyin Kingdom is also justified, not to mention the top of the entire Dragon Continent, but it can also be photographed. There are close to 30,000 elite regular troops armed to the teeth, and wherever they are placed, they can influence the situation. stock strength.

Although the Northern Empire is powerful, its war potential has actually been overdrawn by this famine. In addition, the previous expedition to the Lanyin Kingdom has been bleeding heavily, and the emperor has been changed to conduct a political shuffle.

Therefore, the current Northern Empire is not very weak, but it really does not have the arrogance of trying to annex the Lanyin Kingdom three years ago.

If it wasn’t for Tambadri’s **** promotion mechanism to create a veteran who had been tempered on the battlefield, and the pressure from the southern empire and the western countries was too great, I am afraid that the central empire would have rushed to bite the northern empire. of flesh and blood.

It can be said that the current Northern Empire is a fat man who is strong on the outside and works **** the outside. It looks very strong, but the inside has long been corrupted.

Of course, at least on the surface, this country is still strong, at least not so weak that it can be bullied by anyone.

However, as the country closest to the Northern Empire, the Lanyin Kingdom knew exactly what it was, and the internal turmoil caused by the food shortage has not yet been completely subsided.

Although many of those refugees have been incorporated into the army, after all, the army recruits strong men, and these people’s lives are saved, but what about the women, the elderly, and the children?

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the elderly are a burden to society, but what about women and children? Children are the future of a country! Women are more productive than men, and they can also give birth to babies and continue the nation and race.

Can these people not be properly accommodated and just recruiting men into the army solve the problem?

Besides, strong men join the army, and a large number of old people, children, and women starve to death. What will happen to agricultural production next year?

If your production activities are not good, what is the use of just having a strong army? It can’t support military operations at all. If there is a gun but no bullets, isn’t it just a fire stick?

Theodosius has always believed that war is a continuation of politics, but the status of war in this world is higher, or that war is a part of politics, and it is another form of politics.

This kind of state violence requires the full support of the people and the government behind it. Arrows, armor, weapons, food and grass, war horses, clothing, tents, fuel, all of which require the guarantee of productivity, otherwise the combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 30% .

In particular, the army of the Lanyin Kingdom can have such a top-notch combat capability, in addition to having a good source of troops and training enough, the most important point is that the logistics support is in place, and the weapons and armor are excellent.

Without weapons and armor, the combat effectiveness of the Lanyin Kingdom army would have to be at least halved, which shows the importance of national strength to an army.

And the most confident point of Theodosius is that the Northern Empire is now not only a problem with domestic productivity, but their army is no match for the Lanyin Kingdom.

When he didn’t come back, the Linked Army could rely on discipline and the formation to make the opponent dare not act rashly. From this, it can be seen that the fighting power of the aristocratic private army is just like that. If it really wants to fight, it will not necessarily be stronger than the Linked Army. many.

If a full-scale war was really going to be fought, Theodosius could not have left more than 100,000 conjoined troops unmoved, and only brought regular troops to fight.

After discussing with the ministers, it was decided to launch an attack on the Northern Empire, so the entire government got busy.

The first thing is to transport a large amount of food to a fortress called Changjianbao in the twelve southern counties for storage. In addition to food, there are various strategic materials, such as arrow shafts and arrows, military tents and armors.

Fortunately, the scale of Changjian Castle is quite decent, and finally it can accommodate so many materials, more than 50,000 tons of wheat beans and other grains, more than 4,000 tons of jerky, and more than 20,000 old sheep.

These grains are not a small amount, the grain and grass are good, and the meat is really worth a lot. The more than 4,000 tons need to kill more than 50,000 sheep to get it together. Many of the jerky is already Inventory from several years ago.

This is almost all the meat reserves of the entire Rhine Kingdom, which is enough for the army’s food consumption for a whole year.

Before that, the Rhine Kingdom had not experienced a war that required a year of fighting, but Theodosius felt that as long as a war was launched, a full-scale war would be waged. Including the Linked Army, the food is estimated to be enough for seven or eight months.

The sound of a cannon is not a joke. Grain is nothing to the current Lanyin Kingdom, but meat is relatively scarce, to be honest. After all, it is quite difficult to store it. You can only raise cattle and sheep, and then wait until old age. After they are unable to produce milk and hair, they are slaughtered.

Moreover, according to the current grain output of the Lanyin Kingdom, raising livestock is not a problem at all, but the royal family only has more than 70,000 sheep, and now they have to catch more than 20,000 sheep to prepare for the next war, and limit the number of cattle and sheep. The only factor is the fertility rate.

Before Theodosius came to power, the Lanyin royal family had only seven or eight thousand sheep and four or five hundred head of cattle. Now there are so many cattle and sheep because of the victory in the war against the Northern Empire three years ago. Obtained a larger base of cattle and sheep, and then purchased cattle and sheep from the private sector, and only after breeding can the scale of today.

Of course, cattle and sheep were slaughtered non-stop during this period, because it is impossible to feed the army only food for them, and protein-rich meat and milk must also be in place.

Coupled with the premature birth of cattle and sheep, and diseases, these various factors have led to the fact that the number of cattle and sheep in the Lanyin royal family can only grow at a low speed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

In addition to the logistics department, the blacksmiths are also working intensively to create high-quality gun heads, long swords, arrows, and repair the armor that was damaged in the war.

Although the dwarf craftsmen are working hard to build mithril armor, speaking at the current speed, it is impossible to fully change their clothes before the battle. They can only change the elite troops into mithril armor first, and then let the rest Troops continue to use only old-fashioned equipment.

This is also helpless.

That’s it, it was Theodosius’ prediction that he didn’t intend to start a war in the near future, otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to change the clothes of the elite troops.

That’s right, Theodosius doesn’t plan to go to war any time soon.

Even if it is to fight that, it will have to wait until after May or June, when the spring ploughing is coming to an end, and the dwarf craftsmen have built a sufficient number of mithril armors for the elite soldiers to use the new equipment.

After the spring ploughing is over, the Linked Army can also participate in the war. After all, although these people have a certain combat effectiveness, they are only a kind of peasants and soldiers in the final analysis. They are very prepared and cannot participate in the war at any time. In that case, agricultural production will be destroyed.
