Realm of Power

"How can we, as vassals, watch the war of the suzerain country? I, Benin, am willing to send 30,000 troops."

"Although Samoa's country is weak, it can still get 20,000 troops." "We, the warriors of Cosmo, are never afraid of fighting. As long as His Majesty's flag is directed, we, the Cosmo people, will definitely be at the forefront, with 15,000 Cosmos." Elite is definitely not comparable to those other brands! "

The important ministers of the eight central countries rushed to shout one by one. The emperor of the empire was really generous this time. Even if one of the four Martinliya provinces was given to the Kingdom of Steyr, the other three provinces were enough to give the other seven provinces. The kingdom has broken its head. You must know that now as a small It is basically impossible for a power to rise or expand. In the face of real interests, joint boycotts and resolute refusal to send troops have long been thrown away. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, I'm afraid that if I go back, I'll be beheaded by my own king.

Soon, the total number of troops sent by the eight central countries exceeded 200,000, but the black-haired emperor still looked a little dissatisfied, adjusted his sleeves, and snorted coldly, "It seems that I still overestimated the number of troops from the eight central countries." Ambition, are you satisfied with just a small province? You must know that the troops you send are protecting your own land, and this is just the beginning. You should know Martin The Western Front of Liya has been torn apart by the empire. Even Martin Liya's Silver Fox army of 100,000 people is gone. The main force of Martin Liya's army is still in the Order State, which is thousands of miles away from the Western Front. What is before you It is a vast land. Your army can move forward from the current area and seize more land and population. "Your Majesty is saying that if we send troops, the area we occupy will also be ours?"

Even Jia Ankailu's voice trembled with excitement, his old eyes flashed red, and people from several other countries invariably breathed a lot heavier. The entire continent knew that the empire had torn apart the Western Front of Martin's Liga. What's more, Martin Liya no longer has a heavy troop group on the Western Front. As long as the armies of the eight central countries drive over, it will be easy to just stand on the ground and grab people. What Jia Ankailu is most worried about is Even if the new king ascends the throne, he regrets that he has launched a reckoning with himself. Now the opportunity for change is right in front of him. He uses the army of the Kingdom of Steyr to seize the land, and then uses his power to grant all these lands to himself. Even if the new king ascends the throne, for these The fiefdom far away from the kingdom can only stare blankly, but my family has received such a rich fiefdom, which is not even inferior to the original territory of the Kingdom of Steyr. What is the difference between it and an independent country! "I said that the empire has never been stingy, and the land in Martinliya does not meet the needs of the empire. You also know that what the empire needs is trade. There are not even roads on the Martinliya prairie. What is the use of the empire? You can conquer it. No matter how much, just take it." The black-haired emperor glanced at the astonished faces of the important ministers of the eight central kingdoms, nodded generously and smiled.

What he said was not a lie. Although the Martinliya region is fertile and the materials are not bad, it does not have any infrastructure, not even a city. If the empire wants to develop the Martinliya region, the investment required is too much. It is too big, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see results in less than ten years. Instead of the empire investing heavily in it, it is better to hand over these areas to the eight central countries, which can not only stimulate the central The eight countries sent troops, and also saved a lot of infrastructure investment. As for land, the empire is not short of land. According to the influence of the empire, even if it is handed over to the eight central countries, in at most five years, the resources on these lands will become Imperial Bank's Collateral "Our Kingdom of Steyr is willing to send 60,000 troops!" Giankailu shouted hysterically, his voice shaking the ceiling, and there was no trace of hesitation on his face.

"Benin is willing to add another 20,000 troops, for a total of 50,000 troops. They can be deployed within three days." His voice trembled with excitement.

"The Kingdom of Cayman has sent 60,000 troops, and they can start tomorrow." Just like Jia Ankailu, the faces of the ministers of other kingdoms were completely surprised at this moment. The empire directly placed a super big cake in front of everyone, and also I don’t know how to grab it or get it. I’m not too stupid. I can capture as many as I want. My own, do you know what this means? It means that the eight central countries have a chance to truly become a force. It means that as a small force, they will be supported by the empire instead of being suppressed by the empire. It means that the empire has already formed a camp. The identity of the boss is announced and he supports the younger brothers to make a fortune.

After sending away the people from the eight central countries, in a study room in the villa, Salton looked at the statistics handed over by the emperor with a shocked expression. Scarlet Erdo had not yet recovered from the news of his appointment. The sun is already in the afternoon, the temperature is beginning to drop, and the pace of winter is clearly felt.

"How did His Majesty get the eight central countries to deploy so many troops? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to believe it even if I were killed."

Salton put down the statistics sheet in his hand with a pale face, and said with a slightly trembling voice. According to his expectation, even if the emperor came in person, the eight central countries would not dare to refuse to send troops, and they would be able to gather 200,000 people, which would be enough. And now the numbers reported on the statistics sheet make even him, a veteran battlefield veteran, feel like the sky is falling." It seems that I underestimated the ambitions of the small Barrow forces in southern Europe for expansion and rise." The black-haired emperor also smiled bitterly. After the final statistics, the total number of troops dispatched by the eight central countries far exceeded the 250,000 predicted by the emperor. People, even the emperor himself was a little scared. He didn't expect that the eight small central countries had such a rich family fortune? In other words, the eight central countries have given up their wealth this time, and have not even retained their garrison troops. Anyway, they have decided to break up with the Martin Liya people. They will send out 30,000 troops, and they will send out 50,000 troops. Who can The more troops you send, the more points you can get in this big battle!

This is mainly because Fatty underestimated how strong the small forces in Southern Europe's Barrow are for expansion, and how difficult it is for small forces to expand. Now that they have such an opportunity, they naturally have to gamble on selling iron. The opportunity may only come once in more than a hundred years, who is willing to miss it?

After nearly a hundred years of large-scale conquests and annexations, Barrow in southern Europe has become more powerful with the Kingdom of Fezer, the Ero Empire, the Order State, the Kingdom of Harvey, the Kingdom of Ikar, the Kingdom of Martinliya, the Kingdom of Kalisu, and the Kingdom of Aden. After stabilization, the environment for small countries mixed in between these large forces and regional powers will be quite harsh. In order to fight each other for spheres of influence, these small countries are often affected, and the chances of avoiding it are slim. Countries that refuse to take sides are often the targets of attacks from both sides, and the results of taking sides are not much better. Not only do they need to send troops to participate in the war, but also You won't get anything if you win. If you fail, it will be even more miserable.

In the past thirty years alone, more than twenty-seven small forces have been annihilated in the battle between powerful countries, or were annexed by powerful countries. Not to mention that a small country's desire to rise often means that it needs to expand its living space, and as a nearby country A big country is naturally often the biggest opponent of the rise of small forces.

It's like discovering someone in your own vegetable garden who may compete with you in the future. The first choice any force makes is to completely eliminate this hidden danger. Therefore, every time a small country rises, it means a battle with the enemy. The brutal war between major powers is a desperate struggle for living space, otherwise they would not be qualified to step onto the stage of continental hegemony. Such a rise sounds so ambitious, but unfortunately the reality is often extremely cruel.

Just a few months ago, Kalisu, known as one of the regional bullies, wanted to expand his living space and gathered troops in an attempt to go north. Although the total area of ​​the Kalisu region is only four to five hundred miles, it has grown in recent years. Under the drastic military reforms of 2006, all resources were directed towards the military. In just over two years, the Kalisu Kingdom's military strength increased from just over 80,000 to more than 200,000, with nobles loyal to the royal family serving as military personnel. In the middle of the main body, all the old and weak people were eliminated, but It can be said that a major blood change has been truly achieved, and it has also received the support of the nearby powerful Martin Liya people. It is the capital to rise to become the overlord of one party, but in such a short period of less than a month, under the strong attack of the empire Down, the royal capital fell The king was killed, the army collapsed, and he was stabbed in the back by the Martin Liya people who originally supported him. The entire 100,000-strong Confederate army was wiped out. In the blink of an eye, a small powerful country with an army of 200,000 was separated between the empire and the army. Martin died under the attack of the Liya people.

And just a month ago, the Hokuriku nobles who also inherited the elite and financial resources of the former West Coast Overlord Feize suddenly went south. It was also a battle for living space. They only held on for half a month before the empire wiped out the entire empire. All the high-ranking Hokuriku nobles were beheaded, and 60,000 bloody heads were left in the mud. Fourteen days later, the Hokuriku nobles were collectively drowned in the lake by the imperial army in Ellensburg, completely becoming a historical term.

The brutality of the empire shocked the whole of southern Europe.

What does it mean to kill people and destroy a country at every turn? This is the precedent for small forces that want to rise. After the bloody lesson, who dares to talk about rising and expanding now? Even if the empire is out of reach, the powerful countries in their own territory will also come to kill. Now the empire and Martinliya are killing people in Nan Oubaro, and no one knows whether they can win. Martinliya people are famous for their tyranny. The old Nan Oubaro tyrant has already warned them that anyone who assists the empire during the war will be liquidated after the victory of this North-South War. Therefore, most of the small forces remain neutral, but what if the winning party is the empire? Martinliya people can pat their butts and run back to Martinliya Prairie, leaving a group of trembling small forces dumbfounded. The empire swept across Northern Oubaro and annexed the surrounding areas of the northern coastline within two years. Nan Oubaro has lost even the gate. What should these small forces do? "You said, if the Empire announced to the entire South Europe Barrow that as long as they are willing to send troops to Martinliya, the Empire will recognize everything they have gained in Martinliya, what do you think will happen?" The fat man seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile with a slight smile on his face, "Hasn't Martinliya always been encouraging the countries of South Europe Barrow to blockade the Empire? We can also try the same method. This matter is handed over to your West Coast Governor's Office. Immediately issue this notice." "Yes, I understand!" Salton nodded and said, "Take a look at this. This will be the legion you are going to command. My Lord Scarlett is the commander of the Southern United Army of the Empire. Although it is a joint force of the eight central countries, it is nominally under the command of the Empire." The fat man handed the statistical sheet to Scarlett, paused and said, "And I am also going to transfer an acquaintance of yours to serve as deputy legion commander, Estante, I believe you will not be unfamiliar with him." "Estante?" Scarlett stretched out his hand. He reached for the statistics sheet and frowned slightly. He recalled the name in his mind. It was very unfamiliar and he had no impression of it at all. It was a Nord surname, but it shouldn't be his friend. "Estante is the former Nord general Noras. The Scarlet Legion Commander will not forget Noras, because Noras once resisted His Majesty in the south of the Nord, so now he has changed his name to Estante," Salton reminded in a low voice beside him, "Noras! You mean Norras didn't..." Scarlet Aldo's body shook. He and Norras were childhood friends. When the Nord Kingdom Army raided the south of Vikia, the two served as vanguard officers together. Later, Norras was transferred back to the country by His Majesty the King because he made unfavorable remarks about the battle situation. But before being transferred back to the country, Noras once reminded Scarlet Aldo to be careful, and also predicted that this raid would be a disastrous defeat. It's just that he didn't really listen at the time, otherwise there would be no possibility of being abandoned by the base camp later! When the Nords were destroyed, Noras continued to resist in the south of the Nords. Scarlet Aldo always thought that Noras might have died in the battle. "Estante's transfer order has been issued, and I believe it has reached the west coast by now. It's really enviable to say that Commander Scarlet and Estante may be the youngest pair of generals at the level of legion commander in the empire." Salton smiled and sighed. "And it's impossible for the two of them not to cause a sensation in the whole of Obaro this time. They were once the golden partners of the younger generation of the Nord Kingdom. They commanded an army of 450,000 from the eight central countries. Even in the Imperial Army, except for His Majesty, no one can command such a large number of troops at one time!" 450,000! "When Crimson Erdo heard this number, his eyes bulged, and he quickly looked at the statistical sheet in his hand, which listed the number of troops sent by the eight central countries and the time of their dispatch. Crimson Erdo immediately felt that the list in his hand was as heavy as iron. This was an army of 450,000. Even if only one-third of them were capable of fighting, it would be enough to plunge any country into disaster. I really don't know how the emperor made the eight central countries give so much of their hearts and souls.
