Chapter 38 Gaul [2]
"Karampola is indeed an ambitious person. According to the intelligence of Little Saxon, there are at least 70 medium-sized warships in Delmand. You should know that no member of the Seven Crowns will pay attention to the power of the sea. The ability of Karabola to have such strength is enough to show that his power has developed rapidly. If it is 25 to 1 in the general army and navy, Karambola's land power should exceed 100,000 people. Boss Ma's eyes were cold, as if he saw some challenge. He suddenly sneered and asked the war hammer Saxon beside him, "Old man, what was the strength of the Gauls in the Northern War?"
Warhammer Saxon crossed his fingers and his eyes were calm. He looked at Boss Ma and said indifferently, "Strong."
One word has explained a lot of problems.
Standing straight in the north refers to a ten-year war swept by the Slavic Empire. There were many warring states. At that time, there was also a kingdom in the north, known as the Northern Kingdom. It is the only regional power on the ice sheet, with ruling suzerainty over Scandinavia. However, because of the union of the seven Scandinavian kingdoms, the formation of the Scandinavian alliance, and the joint attack on the Northern Kingdom with the Scarf Empire, the Northern War occurred.
The attacking side of the war is naturally Slavs and Scandinavians, while the resisting side is the main family of the Northern Kingdom, the Vikings.
This history has been sloppy from Catherine. Nar knew clearly that the war led to the division of the Vikings, and some Vikings in the northwest became vassals of the Kingdom of Firland and semi-slave mercenaries. Because the Kingdom of Fairland was later able to compete with the Slavic Empire for the eastern region was also because of the strong fighting power on the ground ice sheet, which allowed Mrs. Siala and the Kingdom of Fairland to divide the northern ice field equally.
However, there was also an eye-catching rise of a race in the Ten-Year War in the North. At that time, nearly 2,000 ships of various sizes transported nearly 70,000 Gauls from Delmand, thousands of miles away, arrived at Portinia Bay, along the coastal road that was the land of the Northern Kingdom, and shared with the Vikings. The Philland army that resisted the invasion from the west. In fact, if there is only the Philland Kingdom army, I'm afraid that with the support of tens of thousands of Gauls, the Northern Kingdom may not be destroyed, but it can continue the war for at least a few years.
But if things are always idealized like this, I'm afraid there won't be so many ifs.
The lethality of the Seven Nations Alliance depends on the tactics of the sea of people. The heroic and good fighting of the Gauls was very impressive. Although there were no magic troops in the north at that time, the pure iron-blooded war added a lot of killing and toughness. The competition between the two sides has reached an unprecedented level. The ancient and modern meat grinder battle refers to the last battle. The Slavic Empire dispatched 280,000 troops from the east to prepare for peace with the Seven Nations Alliance in the West. The total number of troops invested by the attackers exceeded 650,000, while the Northern Kingdom resisted with only 110,000 people. But in the last battle, it still lasted for 18 months, with more than 550,000 casualties. So far, there are still more than 100,000 disabled veterans wandering in the northern countries.
"Well, I already know something about this. Yes, the strength of the Gauls is really strong. Otherwise, with the strength of the Roma Empire at the beginning, we will never let such a force go outside the system of central sovereignty. There is no doubt that the Gauls should have restored their original strength for so many years. Judging from the capture of Little Saxon, I'm afraid it's stronger than we thought. Boss Ma tapped his finger on the table, then glanced around and said, "I can imagine how high the loss of a bloody battle is. We face a lot of enemies, allies... hum."
After a pause, the bastard's eyes were suddenly full of invincible self-confidence and shouted, "However, since Karambola, a bastard, dares to plead guilty like this, it shows that he still has some confidence, but he doesn't have enough confidence. I think that across a duchy of Lithuania and a King of Frankfurt also makes him very uncomfortable.
Boss Ma suddenly clapped his hands, and two tall Viking guards came out of it, and then his tall body pulled out a super-large detailed map. Boss Ma pointed to one of the sea areas and said, "Here is the Kathart Strait. If all the routes here are blocked, then Karam Bora will be gone. Any ability to affect our sphere of influence. From an intelligence point of view, our Grand Duchy of Norman should be one of the most powerful countries in the navy on the central continent!"
With a snap, he patted the table fiercely, stood up and shouted, "I don't care whether the front line has started a war with the Roma Empire. Now, even if you pay for it, you will use the national finance to pay back the money in the future, and you will have to make up four large fleets, and the whole sea area must be completely controlled by me!" If necessary, launch a full-scale naval battle to conquer several coastal countries in northern Scandinavia, and never give them any chance to harass the Baltic Sea!"
"But... I don't understand your intention. Since you can block it, why do you have to invest so much money and troops to operate the sea?"
Catherine. Nar shook his head puzzledly, spread his hands, and pointed to the map.
The doubts in everyone's eyes are also so strong, and they also want to know what the young Grand Duke is thinking.
"Because, we must make a good way to retreat. If the Roma Empire suddenly launches a full-scale attack, even if it is a matter of resistance and space changes time, we may not be able to organize a strong force to resist the huge Roman Empire army. What's more, the Order of the Holy See has already dispatched a 20,000-strong order. . Through the Borzano Holy Land, a large number of servants and supplies were directly replenished from the Roma Empire, which should arrive in the Kingdom of Ulkland in two or three months. Here, in the southwest direction of the Earl of White, if the Northern Legion does not attack the Latvian army, it is likely to wait for the power of the Holy See to fight with us and then profit from it.
At least half of the twelve legions with the ability to fight in a row have this ability. However, no matter how hard the new recruits train and how good their training results are, they are just new recruits. Soldiers who have no blood will always be just armed sheep, not wolves.
"My only concern is that if there are capable people in the Roma Empire, it will definitely persuade a prince to start a war against us at this time to consolidate their position at home. Judging from the current signs, Alex, the eldest son of the Roman Empire, is the most likely. This guy is warlike and strong. He should not be able to wait, but... why hasn't he attacked yet? This makes me puzzled.
He frowned. The people here are the only group of ministers he can trust. For those who have not really contributed to this group, they only rely on pure interests as the link. Once this interest is too traumatized, I'm afraid it will collapse in an instant.
Charles's position at this time is a little delicate. Although Ma Hu has been thinking about whether he has been in contact with the Dark Court for a long time, when he looked at Charles, the old man's eyes flashed with a trace of worry. After a long time, the old man suddenly said, "I think we can send a killer to assassinate. Alex."
There was a moment of peace in the whole hall, Catherine. Nar instantly denied this bad proposal. She said loudly, "If Alex is killed, it will only accelerate the merger within the Roma Empire. When there are only a few heirs left in the whole Roma Empire, I'm afraid the winner will be decided in an instant. The people who unify the Roma Empire will do whatever it takes. A war against the Grand Duchy of Norman. Even if the last person is killed in the battle.
Catherine. Nar is right. Now there is only one country in the world that is extremely rude to the Roma Empire, that is, Tiger. This rudeness of the Grand Duchy of Norman led by House is devastating. It can be said that when Frank I was alive, he also thought about starting a war, but at that time, there was no such opportunity. There were many roads in the middle, and the consumption of a war was so great that it was unimaginable.
It's just that if someone wins the throne of the Roma Empire, he will inevitably launch a war at all costs in order to consolidate the throne, increase the prestige of the imperial power.
"Then, assassinate another person." Charles's dead face did not fluctuate at all. The frosted sound between his mouths made people think that it was two old bark rubbing there. It was as bad as it was. What was more terrible was that the gloom in his eyes, except for Boss Ma, who could stand it, the rest of the people were uncomfortable. They only felt that this hometown He was like a lurking rattlesnake. At first glance, he thought it was a spring, but he didn't expect that it was a highly poisonous snake.
"Who?" Warhammer Saxon had a lot of speculation about Charles' identity, and he vaguely knew that the necromancer should be associated with some dark mage associations. However, he did not think about the Dark Court. After all, compared with the Holy See, this kind of remote small association is simply a scum.
"Karam Bora!" Charles said indifferently, "Since he has launched a provocation, we can do it by any means. After all, we have the best killer union in the north, the Tamsalu Killer Union, and this guild has become the royal union of the Grand Duchy of Norman."
He picked the corners of his mouth gently and was a little sarcastic, but he said the truth, since Tiger. After the crazy rise of House, Tamsalu's killer union became a subordinate functional organization of the duchy. The responsibility exercised was nothing more than assassination. Many people even suspected that the Tamsalu killer union was the real murderer behind the assassination of the Roman Emperor Frank I of the Roman Empire.
However, none of this matters. The important thing is that when Charles said the proposal, the whole hall was peaceful, and Tiger. An evil smile appeared on the bastard's face.
