Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 574 Empire and Empire

In the western part of the Qinghe Empire, a kingdom established by nomads, after being conquered by Di Feng's people, the king of this kingdom issued an order to let the Qinghe Empire's army go.

And this nomadic kingdom is a land area of ​​400 million square kilometers, but it is all plateaus, mountains, next door, and grassland landforms.

The entire kingdom has a population of only 5000 million, which is really nothing.

But because there is a mountain range on the border of the western plateau here, and on the opposite side of the mountain range is a large plain, where there are other kingdoms.

However, because it is relatively close to the Guangming Holy See Empire, it was not included in the rule of the Qinghe Empire. Instead, it relied on this mountain range to station troops to ensure the defense of the Guangming Holy See Empire.

In the entire steep mountain range with a height of more than 5000 meters, there are three valleys on the same level as the plateau, which are the key areas for entering and exiting this plateau.

Therefore, the Guardian Legion of the Qinghe Empire led two field armies to station here, quickly occupied three valleys, and built fortresses based on the terrain.

However, because this kingdom and the Liang Kingdom in the rear didn't have much convenient transportation, even with all their strength, the army marched more than 3000 kilometers, and it took two months to arrive here.

This kingdom is an important area because it covers a vast area, bordering the Red Dragon Family in the north and four other small countries in the west.

After the Guardian Legion arrived immediately, they occupied the north and south valleys with two field armies, and the Guardian Legion personally occupied the central valley.

The gap in these valleys is about three kilometers, which is nothing to a field army of 10 people. Immediately, the engineering mages accompanying the army cooperated with the legion engineers to start building fortifications.

At the entrance on the other side of the valley, various dark forts, trenches, traps, minefields, automatic sentry towers, anti-aircraft firepower, artillery positions, mountain watchtowers on both sides, command centers and other facilities are distributed in this area with a length of three kilometers and a width of enough. There are ten kilometers in the valley.

And behind this position is a city wall made of reinforced concrete and rune technology. This construction method not only enhances the defense of the city wall, but also resists magic attacks.

It is naturally impossible for the entire Guardian Legion of 10 people to be stationed in this valley. According to the plan, the Guardian Legion will build a permanent military base in an open plain [-] kilometers behind the valley with a water source.

On this side of the valley, a division of troops, plus a heavy firepower regiment, a support regiment, and a logistics regiment are used as a match.

In this way, the troops are divided into three parts, except for one division guarding the rear base, and the other troops take turns to garrison and train.

In this valley, inside the fortress, apart from training grounds, warehouses, military camps, underground fortifications, and fortifications in the mountains on both sides, there is also an airport and a small missile base with ten missile silos as a means of first-line firepower strikes .

And at the permanent military base, there is a huge field airport with four runways, as well as field hospitals, field repair factories, mage towers, large signal base stations, and some leisure facilities.

However, for such a huge military construction, various building materials are not enough for the Guardian Legion, and some precious materials still need to be transported from the rear.

The Guardian Legion searched in the surrounding mountains, found some minerals, built temporary cement factories, iron and steel smelters, and produced construction materials nearby.

At the same time, precious materials are transported from the sky through large transport planes to build signal base stations and mage towers.Here, with the floating platform in the sky, there is no problem with the signal on the entire battlefield.

Like the Guardian Legion, the two subordinate field armies also immediately occupied the valley and built fortifications.

However, because a field army has only 4 people, the headquarters of the field army is in the fortress behind the valley.

It's just that some military facilities and even some living and production facilities are built on the large flat land behind the valley.

Because of its remote location, there were not many living settlements around. Therefore, the entire field army reclaimed military ranches and farms, as well as some breeding farms and simple semi-finished food processing factories, as a source of supplies for the army.

And these production facilities do not need to be of the same high standard as military facilities. Soon, pig farms, poultry farms, mushroom planting bases, rabbit farms, dairy farms, general pastures, and large farms will be suitable around military bases. The region expands.

When the first batch of combat troops went to the front lines in various regions, as time went by, the missions headed by the kings of the twelve kingdoms completed their visit to the Qinghe Empire.

Realizing their own weakness, in order to have a good impression and position within the Qinghe Empire, the twelve royal families signed a series of agreements in Qinghe City.

Including, opening up to trade with each other, exempting from tariffs, opening up the economy, opening up the culture, and allowing merchants from the Qinghe Empire to enter the kingdoms to invest.

Border military joint defense, sold some land to the Qinghe Empire to build military bases.

In view of these kingdoms' obedience to the agreement, the Qinghe Empire dispatched its own engineering team and brought materials to build a high-standard road for these kingdoms.

At the same time, there is also a railway, but the ownership of the railway is in the hands of the Qinghe Empire.

The purpose of the Qinghe Empire in building roads and railways is to facilitate the transportation of supplies to the front lines.After all, it is impossible for all materials to be transported by the air force, which requires a lot of ground transportation.

The railway has become the key, and along the way, some important areas in various kingdoms, as well as some dangerous areas, will build some large and small military bases.

According to Qinghe Empire's plan, at least one regiment and at most one division will be stationed in these military bases to guard the transportation lines and deter these kingdoms.

After the agreement was concluded, the second batch of troops had already assembled and set off.Each kingdom sets up a war zone, and a combat command commands the troops stationed in the entire kingdom.

According to the size of the kingdom, seven or eight field armies are stationed, and as few as three or two field armies are stationed. Because of the imperial deterrent, these field armies are actually more of a defensive role in the future when the Holy See Empire and the Flame Empire attack.

With the second batch of troops stationed, each war zone established a general command to unify the command. The Qinghe Empire established the Western Twelve-Nation Joint Defense General Command. The lieutenant general served as the general preacher of the joint defense headquarters.

At the same time, each kingdom selects a general to serve as the deputy commander of the general headquarters, responsible for commanding the defense forces within each kingdom and the Qinghe Empire.

For example, the border troops, the local garrisons near the transportation line, these legions enjoy a small amount of subsidies from the Qinghe Empire. Of course, these subsidies are food and will not be given in cash.

As for the other troops of these kingdoms, they are still mobilized by the kingdoms.

The establishment of such a war zone is still beneficial to some kingdoms.

For example, the Liang Kingdom and the northern part of the Nomadic Kingdom are the territory of the Red Dragon Family. Although the Red Dragon Family Legion has been annexed by the Qinghe Empire, half of its territory is still the size of an empire.

With the Qinghe Empire not continuing to fight against the Red Dragon Familia, the strength of the Red Dragon Lord is slowly recovering, and the subordinates of the Red Dragon Familia also have family monsters whose strength has broken through to the gold level, or even the dark gold level.

Therefore, with the expansion of the Red Dragon Legion, the Liang Kingdom and the Nomadic Kingdom are under pressure from the north.

And after the defense of the Qinghe Empire, there will be three or five field troops stationed in key areas to defend against those monster legions.

Moreover, the Qinghe Empire will also support these kingdoms with a batch of weapons and equipment, and train a group of mechanized troops to resist the enemies in the north together.

In this way, these border kingdoms can let go of the situation that the enemy may break through the defense line at any time.After all, his own kingdom is also the territory of the Qinghe Empire, even if there is a problem, the Qinghe Empire will deal with it.

After the military base was stationed, while marching, the engineering soldiers carried by the field army completed the surveying and mapping of the marching route.

The data was collected, and road design schemes emerged. Under the joint action of the Qinghe Empire and other kingdoms, local workers were recruited, under the unified command of the Qinghe Empire, wages were paid, and a road and a railway were built at the same time.

Due to the large number of workers recruited and the large number of engineering teams dispatched, the construction site was built one by one every day, and the entire project was being completed quickly.

Moreover, because the Qinghe Empire recruits local workers and pays wages every day, and some poor kingdoms pay food, it can be regarded as letting the local people realize the prosperity and peace of the Qinghe Empire, and have a good impression of the Qinghe Empire.

When the agreement was signed, the Qinghe Empire had an agreement with the twelve kingdoms, that is, the kingdoms would no longer issue local currency, but instead use the rune currency of the Qinghe Empire.

The original currencies of each kingdom are collected by local banks or money houses, and then unified by the Qinghe Empire, and exchanged according to the currency exchange ratio of each region.

Now the Qinghe Empire’s currency has removed the high-value rune currency, and the general currency has begun to be converted into paper currency. Printing a piece of paper, given the size of the Qinghe Empire now, does not cost much.

In order to cooperate with the implementation of the currency, all the investments of the Qinghe Empire use the rune currency of the Qinghe Empire, and the official caravans of the kingdoms also use the rune currency.

In this way, seeing that the kings of all the kingdoms are using rune currency, the shopping malls opened by the Qinghe Empire Chamber of Commerce in the Twelve Kingdoms also use paper money, so that the common people quickly adapt to paper money.

After all, paper currency itself is also convenient to use. If it is exchanged into high-value rune currency, the currency itself has use value.

And in this way, the Qinghe Empire has mastered all aspects of military, currency, economy, culture, politics, etc. It is impossible to say that these twelve kingdoms are not part of the Qinghe Empire.

In this way, it can be regarded as a buffer stage. When the Qinghe Empire digests the Ming Empire, the twelve kingdoms will also be merged into the Qinghe Empire.

Everything in the Qinghe Empire is going smoothly, and because the Twelve Kingdoms have a big market to stimulate the economic and commercial development within the Qinghe Empire, the internal development of the Qinghe Empire has entered a new level.

In the farther west, the Holy See Empire and the Flame Empire are also constantly fighting.Facing the two empires, these kingdoms basically had little power to fight back, but part of the resistance prevented these two empires from taking over these kingdoms without injury like the Qinghe Empire.

In three months, the Flame Empire conquered five kingdoms adjacent to the empire, while the Holy See Empire annexed seven kingdoms, and their respective territories increased by about tens of millions of square kilometers.

However, due to large-scale wars, both empires suffered losses to varying degrees, as well as war expenditures and post-war control over the kingdoms.

Various circumstances have greatly increased the pressure on these two empires.

When the two empires took down the surrounding kingdoms and came into contact with each other, they suddenly discovered that the Qinghe Empire had annexed twelve kingdoms without making a sound.

Moreover, on the borders of each kingdom, there are a large number of Qinghe Empire legions. These mechanized legions, combined with solid fortifications, have blocked many rounds of temptations from the two empires.

After the attack was ineffective and after seeing the powerful firepower of the Qinghe Empire, the two empires stopped fighting, and because the Flame Empire and the Holy See Empire were in contact with each other, the two sides also needed to be on guard.

On the other side, part of the territory of the Elven Empire also borders the Flame Empire. In this way, together with the territory of the Red Dragon Family in the north, and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance bordering the Qinghe Empire in the east, many great empires border each other.

On the continent where the Qinghe Empire is located, the Qinghe Empire is located on the east coast, while the Flame Empire and the Holy See Empire are on the west coast. After that, the entire northern land no longer has any kingdoms, and many great empires are facing each other. a new pattern.

For such a new pattern, the major kingdoms have different ideas.

Inside the Qinghe Empire, Di Feng once again convened the entire cabinet to discuss matters at this stage.

"The ultimate goal of the empire is to dominate the entire planet. Now it is just the stage of the empire's cultivation. In this foggy world, if the empire thinks that the current situation is satisfied and relaxes, it will definitely fall into a passive position in the future."

In this meeting room, because it is not a formal meeting, it is just for everyone to discuss the future to a certain extent.

Therefore, everyone is sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting for a general discussion.

As the initiator of this meeting, Di Feng spoke first.

"Now, in the absence of foreign invasion, we will not send out large troops. But the expansion of the surrounding area cannot be stopped.

Now the west of the empire is blocked by the Lord of the Red Dragon, the Holy See Empire, and the Flame Empire. In the east, there are the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Atlanta Empire, which is not easy to develop for the time being.

The North Sea area in the north is cold and not suitable for large-scale marches, and those forces in the North Sea are not easy to deal with, and it is okay to slow down for the time being.

Therefore, what we can deal with now is the south. "
