Macho Wars

With full of humiliation and embarrassment, Andrew stumblingly left the Imperial Study Room, and Solidar, who came with him, looked back at his leaving back, and felt sympathy for him.

"Your Majesty, will the beating be overdone?"

"Do you have any expectations of him? We actually don't lack the kind of noble children who are above the top. If the public opinion does not need his status, this kind of person would be the top lieutenant platoon leader!"

"Uh……"

Soldier scratched his cheek awkwardly, and did not refute Firavi's evaluation of Andrew.In fact, as the immediate boss of the other party, he has more contact time, and he also knows that Andrew has a few kilograms, which belongs to the type of "reading the book to death". He has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he does not know what to do. To apply it reasonably in practice will only be rigid and mechanical.

This kind of nerd is a bit reluctant to be a staff member. The most suitable position is a copywriter. Let him lead the war in person, and it would be a disaster!

At first, Solid wanted to call Andrew a little, after all, this kid was still very young.But helplessly, the other party was stubborn like an old man, and he couldn't listen to Solid's kind advice at all.

Solid now only hopes that Andrew can be ashamed and courageous, and don't be crushed by what Firavi said just now.

After Andrew left, Firaway discussed some military matters with Solid.At present, the military strength of the Western Empire on paper seems not to be weak. The total number of the standing army is approaching two million, more than twice the number before the outbreak of the civil war. However, the quality of personnel varies, and more than half of them are "local forces."

Most of these local armies were miscellaneous troops formed by nobles in various places during the civil war under various banners. They did not listen to the orders of the Firavi Central Committee, and the composition of the soldiers was very complicated.

The better ones include veterans, local reserves, and the remnants who were disbanded in the original army. These people have received formal training anyway, and their military literacy is fairly decent.

Even worse, those ordinary civilians who were lured into the barracks by the intimidation and profitability of local aristocratic forces, many of them were strong soldiers who were forced to recruit, not voluntary, and did not receive much military training. The actual combat power is worrying, but these People are at least a "good family son" from an innocent background.

Some local troops have blindly expanded their military strength, and even the gangsters and even the prisoners in prison have pulled out to fill their numbers.The combat effectiveness of this kind of scum unit is much scumbag, but the ability of the side who is in trouble is breaking through the sky.

Firawi had the intention to rectify this chaotic situation, but he had no choice but to have limited capital. The central government of the Western Empire had already suffered serious financial deficits, and the separatist regimes in various regions further damaged the sources of tax revenue, thus forming an obvious vicious circle.

Unless Philavius ​​is willing to fight the second round of civil war again, fighting the risk of being attacked by groups, and directly suppressing the vassal by force, he can only endure it first, and then try to figure out a solution later.

At present, the area that Firavi can actually control only accounts for about 40% of the empire, but fortunately, most of them are developed heavy industrial areas. The lifeline of the country is still in his hands, so time is on his side.

In order to effectively suppress the vassal forces and the local forces they rely on to protect themselves in the future, Firavi decided to implement military reforms and reorganize the 700,000 direct troops in his hands.

The first test subject of this new army reform was the First Guards Army commanded by Solid.The former imperial imperial army has been drawn to the New World by the Eastern Empire. Firavi, who entered the capital of the imperial capital, did not continue the old name, but built a new army based on the 7th Armored Division he once personally led. military.

The entire First Guards Army consists of four divisions and two brigades, with a total strength of 110,000 people. It has under its jurisdiction a heavy armored division, two mechanized infantry divisions, a rapid-reaction infantry division, an aviation brigade, and a heavy artillery brigade.

Firavi placed high hopes on the First Army. Not only did he hope that they could become the shield of the imperial capital and protect the safety of the empire's center, but also that they could become the sharpest sword in his hand to deter enemies from all directions.

However, Solid, who took over the First Army, discovered that the set of military reforms Firavi was planning to implement had a strong sense of sight everywhere.

According to the full set of plans formulated by Firavi, they will need at least three years or so, not only to complete the reorganization of the entire central line of troops, but also to revive the people's livelihood and economy damaged by the war.And once the preparatory work is completed, the opposing vassal force will be insufficient.

Both the monarch and the minister were discussing military reforms. At this time, there was a quick knock on the door again. A messenger walked in quickly and delivered an urgent confidential telegram to Firavi.The head-up sign of the telegram indicated that it was an emergency communication from Dongqin, and it was usually an important matter.

So Firavi hurriedly started to read the content, but the more I watched, the more frowning became.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Dong Qin?"

"The Empress Dowager Shuang made a sudden visit to the New World, heading towards the east."

"Is there anything weird?"

Solid knew that at present, the other three great powers besides the empire had all publicly supported the Eastern Empire, and the Kingdom and the Federation had just fought a fierce battle with them not long ago.Although the Eastern Qin did not meet with them in battle, the trade exchanges with the Eastern Empire were very active. Last year, it completed a military trade order that attracted many countries’ eyes. The Eastern Empire exchanged goods with goods. Fifty planes, with relevant pilot training included.

For the Western Empire, fifty biplanes were nothing at all. They also had a full set of manufacturing drawings on their hands, and they formed a development team far larger than the Eastern Empire.Thanks to the well-developed local industrial foundation, once they start mass production here, the number of fighters will soon surpass that of the east.

But the problem is that airplanes are easy to build and pilots are difficult to maintain.The Western Empire currently has nearly a thousand aircraft of various types, but there are fewer than 300 pilots, and they have also been slammed by high-level apprentices trained by the Eastern Army's famous divisions.

For this reason, Firavi invested a lot of money. He told the spies currently active in the eastern empire to give priority to the pilots of the anti-eastern army, as long as they are willing to take refuge in the western empire, titles, money and women, everything they have!

Solid didn't know what had happened to Dongqin, until Felavi read the telegram and handed it to him, Solid finally figured it out.

"Three defenses project? What are the Dongqin people doing?"

"Air defense, disaster prevention, and biochemical defense. Although it is not clear how large the three defense projects of the East Qin people are, it is obviously preparing for a full-scale war, and it is a comprehensive local defense. The problem is the military strength of the East Qin , Who are they trying to guard against so much?"

Chapter 673

Large-scale paramilitary projects require a lot of manpower and material resources, so once the construction is officially started, the disturbances must not be hidden.So it didn't take long for more than half of the countries in the entire God-given Continent to discover "abnormal" actions on the East Qin side.

Other countries with better news learned that the Queen Mother Shuang, who is currently in power in the Eastern Qin Dynasty, had been visiting secretly and was heading to the New World on a cruiser. The destination was self-evident.

Combined with the current international situation, this series of actions by the East Qin will inevitably cause some people to have some groundless guesses.

In the Eastern Empire at this time, Dragon, who had just handled many important domestic tasks, was preparing to set off for the Zerg refuge located deep underground.One came to meet with Klin Du, the second came to visit the shelter, and the third came for a little personal business.

The difference between state affairs and family affairs is less important, Dragon is clear, but as long as it does not affect state affairs, he will not ignore the family affairs.

So in the selection of the entourage, Dragon took a whole reinforced platoon in one breath, full of number fifty.Seventeen of the guards, led by Dragoon’s personal Tafi, and some experts, scholars and researchers, Fumi, like Ruhr and his android maid, mixed in the team as “facilitators” .

Originally, most people were strongly opposed to Dragon going into battle in person. After all, they knew very little about the Talaki Zerg hidden underground, and it was difficult to determine whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend based on the previous few calls.And Dragon is the actual supreme leader of the Eastern Empire, and it is unwise to let him take risks.

But Dragon felt that his personal visit was a show of sincerity, and astronomers from many countries have proved that there is indeed a huge comet coming straight to this planet, but they are unable to do anything, so the Eastern Empire and the entire human race This race needs the help of the Talaki Zerg and the underground shelters they build.

On the day of departure, the entire visiting team boarded a Zerg’s ground boat in a secret military base in District 9.The structure of this thing is very magical, it is impossible to see what material it is made of. There are a lot of magic runes from the inside to the outside, and it seems to be a living "living thing" when touched by hand.

When everyone entered from the entrance, they were surprised to find that there was an independent gravity environment inside.The hollow cavity is cylindrical, and it is perpendicular to the ground like a vertical shaft. However, as long as a person enters inside, he can stand firmly on the inner wall of the passage and walk to any position at will.

Dallosi, who has experience in riding, told everyone that as long as you don't let your feet leave the ground at the same time, you don't have to worry about falling suddenly.

It is worth mentioning that although the military has sent people into the earth boat to inspect it more than once before, no one except Dallossi can move this behemoth even a bit.

The inside of the whole ground boat is a large and spacious cavity. There are no mechanical structures, or instruments like consoles or cabs, but as soon as Dallosi comes in, this thing will be controlled by her mind.

Out of consideration, Dragon allowed Dallosi to go home to visit his relatives accompanied by Jack.As a result, the silly old lady came home and saw the parents who had been waiting for so long. She took off her hat and exposed the cat ears on top of her head. Then her mother almost fainted in the first sentence.

"Dad, mom, and daughter, I'm no longer a human being."

The bad thing is that Jack, who went back with him, had the foresight, and immediately took out the emergency medicine from his arms, so that nothing major happened.

Under Jack’s supplementary explanation, Dallosi’s parents finally reluctantly accepted the reality, and at the same time the two elders were still very moved. After all, Jack can accept even Dallosi like now. This "sincere" feeling makes They feel very relieved.

"Daughter, please."

"clam!?"

In short, the matters on the ground were temporarily handled, and Dragon personally led the team to visit the Zerg Refuge. The whole team kept everything simple and only carried some equipment and materials that they thought were necessary.

After the Earth Xingzhou started, everyone inside was very nervous at first, but only felt a slight vibration, and then there was no movement.If it hadn't been for Dallosi to say that they were going deep underground, everyone would have thought they hadn't even moved.

Dallosi explained before that the earth travel boat runs by earth magic, and has two modes: digging and sneaking.The former is used for engineering operations and operates in a manner similar to that of a shield machine, capable of digging the tunnel at high speed, while simultaneously making the tunnel wall rocky with the simultaneous construction magic.

The sneak mode is to act as a vehicle, so that the huge ground boat can travel freely in the ground like a submarine in the ocean. The travel speed is seven times that of the excavation mode, and the speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour.

It is worth mentioning that in the stealth mode, the ground boat will only leave a 100-meter-long tunnel at the initial stage. Once it is fully operational, it will be integrated with the earth, making it difficult for the military to find a trace. track.

However, although the operation of the ground boat is very magical, for the people riding inside, after the initial excitement, it gradually becomes a bit boring.
