Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As Daxia's attitude towards war changed, Daxia's army began to take action.

The first was in Southeast Asia. On this day, people in the southwest of the empire suddenly heard the whistle of an army gathering and the sound of soldiers running quickly on the street outside.

Soon, the originally busy train station was blocked by the imperial military, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were transported to the station.

The soldiers lined up neatly and prepared to board the vehicle.

Already in the distance, the tanks of the Imperial Armored Forces were driven into the freight cars with the assistance of engineers and railway dispatchers.

On this day, the people in the southwest of the empire seemed to have guessed that the empire was about to take a big action. They squatted on the streets near the train to send their blessings to the soldiers of the empire.

Under the cheers of the common people, the soldiers boarded the train bound for South Asia.

After the empire conquered the countries in Southeast Asia, in order to better control these areas and to facilitate the economy between regions, it invested in the construction of railway lines connecting countries in Southeast Asia.

These railways can facilitate people's travel or the transportation of goods in peacetime. But once war comes, these railways will become troop transport lines and arteries for the transfer of military supplies.

With these railways, the soldiers of the empire can travel directly from Chengdu, the important city in the southwestern part of the empire, to major cities in Southeast Asia within five days.

This greatly strengthened the empire's control over Southeast Asia.

Moreover, all the way here, the soldiers took the train and no longer had to rely on their legs to walk to Southeast Asia as before.

For example, this train departing from Chengdu arrived at the border of the Empire and Toungoo Kingdom from Chengdu after two days and two nights of travel.

In two days, they can reach Mandalay.

In Mandalay, soldiers from Southeast Asian countries have begun to gather in Mandalay. This time the empire mobilized 50 soldiers from Southeast Asian vassal states.

These 50 people were not selected from one country, but were sent jointly by the five Southeast Asian countries.

Each country sends troops in proportion to its domestic population.

Among them, the Khmer and Chenla countries sent the least troops. Due to their small land area and small population, these two countries were only allocated 50,000 quotas proportionally.

As for Annan and Toungoo Kingdom, as the most populous countries in Southeast Asia, they were allocated 15 troop quotas.

In the end, Siam has only 100,000 places.

According to the agreement between the empire and the subject countries, the soldiers of the subject countries who cooperate with the empire in fighting are provided by the Imperial Military Department, and at the same time they can receive one-third of the salary of ordinary soldiers in the empire.

In addition, all materials captured on the battlefield can be owned by individuals.

Therefore, from the perspective of the tributary countries in Southeast Asia, fighting with their overlord country is actually a very beautiful thing.

In today's terms, if you lead a flight, you will win, and you will make money.

Therefore, from the perspective of the subject country, fighting with Daxia is a very good opportunity to make money.

Those soldiers who belong to the country are not opposed to war.

At the same time, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the subject countries, the empire sold some obsolete weapons and equipment to these subject countries at low prices.

And these weapons are not outdated in the world, they are probably half a generation behind.

For example, the common weapons used by soldiers of these vassal countries today are bolt-action rifles, which were improved from the Mauser firearms of the Hans Empire. It uses 7.62mm bullets with 5 rounds in the magazine. It has very high accuracy within a distance of 800 meters.

The artillery used by the subject countries is also the Empire Type 11 120mm howitzer produced by the empire.

This type of artillery is still used even by the empire, but the number is more than that of the respective countries.

It can be said that in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the soldiers of Southeast Asian countries can compete with the Rakshasa Empire during World War I.

It’s just that their economic strength is relatively poor, which is holding back other countries.

However, life now is much better than before, so people in these Southeast Asian countries are very satisfied with Daxia and their current life.

They know very well that the life they have now is given to them by Daxia, and the Southeast Asian countries also support Daxia's requirements.

At this time, the soldiers from various Southeast Asian countries gathered in the Mandalay area were also the most elite group of soldiers from each country.

These soldiers have been taught for many years under the guidance of Daxia instructors. So the combat effectiveness is very amazing.

It seems that because these people live in the jungle with a relatively harsh environment all year round, these soldiers are very brave and good at jungle combat.

As the military column from Chengdu stopped at the train station in Mandalay, the soldiers of Daxia's Southeast Army began to get off the train and then assemble.

Under the leadership of the officers, Daxia's soldiers began to head to the military camp outside the city.

They need to wait and adapt here for a few days, and wait for subsequent reinforcements.

When the Taungoo people in Mandalay saw this group of soldiers, who were generally around 178cm tall, with fair skin and resolute faces, wearing clean and tidy military uniforms, appearing in neat lines on the streets of Mandalay.

The people in Mandalay began to cheer.

At this moment, the people of the Toungoo Kingdom suddenly felt a sense of pride.

Don't think this is possible. In Southeast Asia, Daxia's influence is all-round and long-term.

From the Han and Tang Dynasties, the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty on Southeast Asia began. Until now, more than two thousand years have passed, and Southeast Asian countries have always looked at Daxia with admiration.

Thousands of years of status as a vassal state gave Daxia a high degree of power here.

To put it simply, the countries in Southeast Asia have always regarded Daxia as their "father country". They do not reject Daxia's rule and even feel honored.

I am proud to join Daxia.

This is not like being instigated by some people in later generations to make people in Southeast Asia go against Daxia every day.

To give a simple example, for the kings of Southeast Asian countries, they can only hold the position of king if they are canonized by Bactria.

Even if you, the king, have no blood relationship with the previous king, for example, you started as a rebel.

But as long as you can be recognized and canonized by Daxia, then you will be a legitimate king.

Vice versa, even if you are the biological son of the previous king, as long as you do not get the approval of Daxia, then sorry, neither this country nor the surrounding kings will recognize you.

Yes, in this time and space, Daxia's control over the Southeast Asian vassal countries is so strong.

And these vassal countries, from top to bottom, were actually envious of Goryeo, the kingdom that was originally the first son of Daxia.

Because the entire Goryeo has joined Daxia and became a province of Daxia.

This makes Southeast Asian countries envious.
