Alien Empire Total War

Time will soon enter March.

By the time of March, under the command of Charlie, his army had taken control of the entire province of Provence and Bevin, as well as the southern part of Devon to the north of Provence, with a total of ten major cities that were systematically recognized. .

Among these ten major cities, except for Proden City, which is set as the capital, which has a barracks and an artillery foundry, the rest of the cities are the initial army barracks. Charlie needs to spend money to upgrade the barracks and build an artillery foundry.

At the same time, because the two provinces were not deeply influenced by the National Assembly, and after being recognized as system cities, the happiness of the civilians on the panel remained above the green face, so Charlie didn't have to worry about security problems in the territory.

It is worth mentioning that after the system recognizes a city as a system city, the residents in it will be subtly affected to varying degrees. As long as the happiness level in the public security column on the city panel is not lower than 0, then no matter what Charlie has come up with. No matter what kind of operation, it will not lead to riots affecting public security in the area.

In other words, the system completely locks the rioting behavior of the citizens according to the happiness of the residents!

Yes, it's a game.

After the break with the National Assembly, the taxation of the two provinces was also exempted from the share paid to the central government, and all went into Charlie's pocket. The sailors of the two provinces with a population of more than 3 million are not a small sum. Even if the money that came up was converted into gold coins, Charlie could earn a dozen or two hundred thousand.

This money is indeed a huge sum of money for the current Charlie, because after the break with the National Assembly, there is no big deal to share the salaries of the soldiers of the Fourth Army for Charlie, and he will use his own money to pay the soldiers. , the salaries of more than 90,000 soldiers in an army are not a small sum. The sum total of them is more than 200,000 gold coins a month!

It means that all the tax revenue from the two provinces under Charlie's control will be used as military expenses. For the rest of the expenses, he can only rely on the hundreds of thousands of gold coins stored in his system warehouse.

The heavy military expenditure not only did not cause trouble to Charlie, but became the biggest driving force for his external expansion. Under the order of Charlie, the first division, which was previously stationed in the west, took the lead in attacking the adjacent Mingsi province. The fourth and fifth divisions followed closely behind, and they were ordered to bring Mince under control before the First Army of the National Assembly moved south. outside the province of Provence.

At the same time, Charlie also refurbished the twenty-four warships through the system. The so-called refurbishment here means that the system trains sailors to replenish artillery and ammunition for the warships. It only takes a month for the fleet to return to the battlefield.

The National Assembly also has a fleet in Mins Province. In order to deal with that fleet, Charlie can only pin his hopes on this fleet that has just been captured.

……

Inside Proden City Hall.

Charlie's trusted chief of staff, Baldwin, stood tall and tall in front of the desk, and on the table between him and Charlie lay a military map of the southern part of the Rumont Republic.

On the military map, the conspicuous red circles several cities, indicating that the signs of our own troops are also standing on it. From this sophisticated military map, we can see that the troops under Charlie's command are mainly distributed in three regions.

The 1st, 3rd and 4th Divisions crossed the provincial border into Mins Province, captured a city in the eastern part of Mins Province, and continued to advance, but they were also resisted by the local troops of Mins Province, like In the past, they rebelled against the Proden military government, and the youth of Mins Province once again took up arms to form a national army to fight against the rebels in their eyes.

The funny thing is that many people on both sides of the war have had the experience of fighting side by side, but they have left this friendship behind, and now they are their own masters and have no relationship.

Although the National Army in Mince Province has assembled again, this time they are not facing the Proden military government rebels who had low combat effectiveness a year ago, but the elite divisions who have experienced many battles, both in number and quality. In the case of a disadvantage, the National Army was beaten steadily, and more towns were soon lost.

In the northern province of Devon, the 7th and 8th divisions formed by the locals did not suffer any resistance from the locals. They relied on their identity as locals to get along with the local people, which also dispelled the civilians' concerns about this army.

In this era, regional relations are still far higher than state relations. In particular, this army can avoid harassing civilians and has a high degree of discipline, which further deepens the popularity of local civilians towards them. , the 7th and 8th divisions took over the city of Nawa, the capital of Devon province, very smoothly - the mayor of Nawa fled here long before the "rebels" came.

The mayor of Nava City, who escaped, did not take the last month's tax money stored in the bank with him, so the money was accepted by the army that entered the city. When the news reached Charlie's ears, he also let him Happy a lot.

And in the east, after stabilizing southern Belvin Province, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, along with the subsequent reinforcements of the 6th Division, headed north along the broad stone-paved avenue to engage the regrouped National Army in Alton Province. The army is also a veteran who has withstood the test of war, and their regrouping is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the progress of the war on Alton's side can be described as slow compared to the other two places.

In addition to these eight infantry divisions fighting on the front line, the Seventh Brigade of Charlie's direct line has become an actual Guards Brigade, and they are stationed in Proden City to guard Charlie's safety. The Ninth Division, Tenth Division and Eighth Brigade, which were adapted from the National Army, were dispersed in army barracks in other cities to receive systematic training.

As for the 1st Cavalry Division, Charlie hasn't figured out how to arrange them yet, so he just keeps them stationed on the outskirts of the city.

"General, according to the information from Ankerton, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the First Army of the National Assembly are heading south. If there is no accident, they should enter Mins Province in early May."

"In addition, the fourth and sixth divisions of the second army and the fourth brigade of the third brigade have also begun to move south. The sixth division's target is the Ankerton area that is still at war, and the target of the remaining units is likely to be It's Alton Province."

"Your father, the uprising troops led by General Victor are retreating to the south, the war in the north will soon be over, and the nobles in the Ankerton region also sent messengers to us for help, should we do something what?"

Baldwin's voice echoed in the office, and Charlie didn't answer his query, or rather, he was hesitating whether he should help those capital nobles who took the lead in raising him into the war.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Baldwin licked his cracked lips and continued: "The idea of ​​the staff is that we should rescue those nobles, after all, we cannot compete with the citizens who own a country by our strength alone. We still need the help of some allies to contend with the parliament."

"Oh? What do you think those nobles can do for us?"

Charlie looked up at him and asked.

In the city of Ankerton, what Charlie really cared about was the relatives of the original owner of the body, perhaps because of the influence of the original owner of the body. From a point of view, his family members can also help his career. The Clos family is a military nobleman, and many of its family members are commanders from the military. If they can be rescued, Charlie can also get it. General's assistance.

But what about the other nobles? How can they help themselves?

Born in the aristocratic class and with memories from later generations, Charlie has a very clear view of the inferiority of the aristocracy. In the face of sufficient interests, they can even sell the country without hesitation. Don't you see King Loren who was expelled last year? , under the generous conditions offered by the Santos party, they can directly force the king to abdicate together with the former enemy.

Charlie didn't want to have such a group of flies in the way behind him to drag him down.

How could Baldwin not see Charlie's dislike for those nobles, he replied: "General, those nobles are annoying, but the contacts they have accumulated should not be underestimated, you will not be limited to this small territory of Provence. In the future, when you settle in Ankerton and become the master of this country, you will definitely need the help of these nobles."

"The centuries-old heritage of aristocrats is not comparable to that of commoners who have just acquired the so-called equal status. Whether it is a general of the army or the mayor of a city, a noble who has received professional studies is the best choice."

"Take some problems within the National Assembly as an example. Before the end of the civil war last year, which of the commanders who were parachuted from Ankerton were qualified generals besides the commanders of the former Second Front? How could an army led by painters, writers, orators, even a baker, bring victory to this country?"

"Even if it is our army, you know very well in your heart that most of the officers in our army are from noble families, and no matter how poor they are, they are also wealthy. "

After listening to Baldwin's persuasion, Charlie couldn't help showing a wry smile. Before compulsory education was popularized, the problems that Baldwin said could not be solved. When educational resources are concentrated in the hands of the nobles and the rich, how can this country be What about prosperous?

Thinking of this, Charlie suddenly realized a problem that he had overlooked - although he was very aware of the advantages of universal compulsory education, he never implemented corresponding policies in his territory, wasting nearly half a year of time in vain. This was his irreversible mistake. .

"It seems that the policy of promoting compulsory education in the territory is about to start." He thought to himself.

However, considering that the current war is still going on, and there is no money and energy to promote it in the entire province of Provence, Charlie decided to implement it in stages. implement.

Seeing Charlie bowing his head in thought, Baldwin thought he was considering his own suggestion, so he didn't speak to disturb her. After a few minutes, Charlie raised his head and said:

"Since it is the opinion of the staff, let the 1st Cavalry Division rush to Ankerton City, and the 7th and 8th Divisions of Devon Province will follow the attack, and Anker must be rushed before the 6th Division of the National Assembly arrives. Duncan take it!"

"What... what?!"

Baldwin subconsciously wanted to agree. When he heard Charlie's order, he was shocked. He widened his eyes and asked, "General, what are you talking about?"

Charlie repeated his order again, and then asked, "Greney, what's the problem?"

"General, if you let the 7th and 8th divisions follow the attack, you will commit the big taboo of going alone. If you fail to take down Ankerton immediately, wait for the National Assembly to mobilize troops to reinforce Ankerton. In the region, our three divisions will be destroyed there!" Baldwin said emotionally.

"I understand this, but if you lose, you will gain. Although this order is very risky, if it succeeds, it will bring us huge rewards." Charlie said calmly~www.wuxiahere.com~Ankerton City is The seat of the National Assembly is also the capital of the country, and no matter who occupied the city, he occupied the great justice in the center. "

"Moreover, the troops of the First Army, Second Army and Third Army are all carrying out the orders of the National Assembly. As long as we directly occupy the city of Ankerton and dissolve and reorganize the National Assembly, we will be able to end the Third Army as soon as possible. Second Civil War. After all, the people who resisted the noble army in various places still do not want to let the era of the nobles riding on their heads come again. As long as we assure them that the privileges of the nobles will not be restored, the people's anger will soon be Calm down."

Speaking of this, Charlie looked righteous. He was not at all interested in the status and fiefs of the nobles. Those policies that seemed to kill their mothers to the nobles did not feel anything to him. He became the master of the country, and what was the point of sacrificing the interests of the few?

With ideas such as freedom and equality sweeping across the country, the loss of power of the nobility is already unstoppable by the tide of the times. What if he can forcefully rely on force to bring the nobility back to the top? The wave of the times will eventually crush the juveniles who are trying to be a car.

Moreover, he has no reason to stand up for those nobles. Perhaps in the short term, he will still have to rely on the nobles to govern the country, but after he promotes compulsory education, more than 20 million people will not believe that there is no ability, talent, and learning willing to serve the government. talents of civilian origin.

Although Baldwin still thinks this plan is too risky, he still decides to implement it according to Charlie's plan - the big deal is to let the staff of the staff brainstorm and improve the plan.

As Charlie said, although this plan is risky, the rewards are still very rich. As long as it is successful, it can avoid a long battle in the future.
