Chapter 19 Established Facts [1]

In fact, in the north of the Roma Empire, there is a region that has been controversial since ancient times. It is not a legal imperial territory, and the Minsk Autonomous Territory has no legal rights and obligations to it, but because of the strength of the Roma Empire, no country dares to blame anything. This area is not a fight. The place is full of grassland and grassland, with an area of about 40,000 square kilometers. There is a large amount of coal and surface materials. The growth of trees is excellent. If used, it can solve the daily firewood demand of the whole city in the Minsk Autonomous Territory.

Therefore, for a long time, this place has been used as a material warehouse of the Roma Empire. There is only one brigade of soldiers stationed here, and although the defense has been changed, after all, the swamp here is really a headache. If you accidentally fall into the mud, there is no chance to save it. .

Generally, people who are rated as six-level soldiers will be stationed here for a period of time for half a year. For hundreds of years, this habit has been retained, which is also a recognition of the Roma's right to rule here. However, it is obvious that if the Normans want to go to war head-on with the Roma Empire in the future, the first thing to solve is the bridgehead problem. It is absolutely impossible to use the fertile land of Lithuania as a strategic bridgehead. In that case, the loss alone is not acceptable to the whole Norman kingdom. Therefore, opening up one can make people painful. The road is exactly what Tiger House is looking for.

The area in the north of the Minsk Autonomous Territory, called the Hedong Corridor, is a relatively difficult land to develop on the east bank of the Solang River. However, for the Normans, there is no land that cannot be developed. What's more, this area is not only large, but also suitable for the establishment of military bunkers to maintain the whole future war. Slightly status.

It is a must-have place for soldiers to advance, but because it is really difficult to survive here, there is only a small number of troops to travel here, and there is no government to mobilize people to open up wasteland. After all, the Roma Empire is rich in land and does not need such a small place at all, so it is like people. As you can see, it has become a semi- enclave state.

Perhaps decades later, with demographic pressure, the Roma Empire will slightly reduce this abnormal shrinking territory.

"The whole area is narrow and vast, with more than 40,000 square kilometers, but the Roma abandon it, which is really a pity. However, they are so big that they don't disdain at all. Even the Slavs come here to hunt in winter, they won't do anything.

Totti held a crystal telescope in his hand, and beside him was a tall Papaya. At this time, the armies of the north and the west had successfully met, and there was a great momentum to sweep the Minsk Autonomous Territory. Coupled with the continuous flow of troops, it looked like the Normans were going to launch a world war. Millions of war had passed. It hasn't been half a year. Now that this momentum comes together makes people extremely nervous. It is taboo to fight in winter, but people's fear and at a loss for the Normans are really numb. Up to now, even if the Normans start a war with knives all over the world, I'm afraid some people will believe it.

"A big country has its own helplessness. In such a place, the materials it obtains may not be able to fill the huge investment. You should know that if too many people move in, if they don't adapt and cause the plague, it will be a disaster. I don't think the Roma are too arrogant. After all, few people can understand the idea that a world's most powerful country is also the world's largest country.

Papaya rubbed his face, a little tired, and then asked, "Hey, Totti, is there any news from Wang Du?"

He smiled. Papaya was a little embarrassed and just looked at Totti.

The handsome man in Sicily is also a man with four children at this time, and the beard on his face also makes him a little mature. At first glance, he is really a little powerful. However, these days, there are naturally few such diligent people. Although it is indeed a little unruly at first glance, it does not affect the fact that Totti is a good man.

His two wives love him very much. In addition, this handsome Sicilian man is well-known outside, and he is also the number one person. Sometimes, it is really hard to believe.

However, he is a red man beside His Majesty King Tiger House I, and he is also the head of the commander of the twelfth legion. He is the first general of the kingdom, and his position is higher than Riglo, which is enough to prove his position in the heart of His Majesty King Tagus House. Unlike the career presence of the Big Three, this kind of real subordinates is indeed a little sad. Who would have ever thought that this bastard who just came out to wander and try his luck would have today's power and status? It really makes people feel that fate is so magical.

"Your Majesty wants to create opportunities for you. This can't be wrong. The order I received is to seize the Hedong Corridor. Your biggest strategic purpose is to force Alex to withdraw from Minsk and create an established fact in the Minsk region in the north and central, that we can make a large number of blurred borders. Line, make an accurate division. At that time, no one will think about turning over the case. Because the whole area must be built into a military bridgehead and take all the preparations of the Roma. That's the purpose. Do you understand what I mean?

Totti said to Papaya insipidly and seriously.

The commander of the legion nodded and said in his heart: So it's really the same as I thought. As long as the Minsk Dominion is crippled at that time, even if it is just a confrontation, it can force Alex to turn into the country and put pressure on the whole Roma Empire.

He will never risk a big war with us alone, because there is no future or opportunity. This is a kind of fate. I'm afraid that at that time, the whole empire will be worried about Alex. After all, with hundreds of thousands of troops, Alex is still the biggest power in the empire to some extent.

Papaya's idea in his heart is really clear. After getting Totti's personal admission, a stone in his heart finally fell down. Most of the time, he was worried about such and such problems. Now it seems that things have been solved, and the problem will be very satisfactory, won't they?

"But the Roma will definitely not relax easily now. Although Alex will transfer to China, the Autonomous Territory of Minsk is his **. He will not give up easily. At that time, I'm afraid he will still have a battle, but I don't know how the scale will be. However, it doesn't have a big problem. The number of troops we have deployed here is more than 200,000. If you want to have a decisive battle with us easily, you can't do it without 500,000 troops.

Papaya was so calm that he suddenly smiled and said, "But it's unexpected that such credit fell on me and Tangori's head. Your Majesty is really comprehensive."

Totti also smiled and said, "As subjects, sometimes, there are much less things we need to consider than His Majesty, but this is also good. At least we don't have to be too complicated. We just follow the order and execute it."

Papaya nodded and thought deeply.

At this time, in Minsk, Alex, who decisively ordered to retreat, was confused and a little timid. He could not recognize many facts, but Tiger House was originally a man beyond people's imagination, so Alex was not too panicked, but slightly angry.

He will lose 100,000 horses, more than half of the elite, but the Norman's action is too fast. It's so fast that it's unimaginable that they are not ready. They suddenly take action and have no room at all, just like a fierce rattlesnake. After opening its poisonous teeth, it is fierce. One bite, and then the prey has no possibility of survival.

"Come on!"

Alex is very tall and looks cold. Naturally, he knows the combat effectiveness of the Normans. The Holy Light Knights is the truth. The Holy See is now very well-behaved and has never provoked the Normans again, while Pope Paul I is like a tortoise grandson and does not announce jihad at all. He It's clear that most people actually know very well that with the waste army of the Holy See, how can it be the power of the tiger and wolf division of the Normans?

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The two guards came out and looked at Alex seriously. Since the prince was not nervous, there was no need for them to be nervous. Although they had heard that the Normans were fierce and cruel for a long time, weren't they still calm now? Alex's performance won the unanimous favor of his men. At least, it looks very convincing now.

"Let the chief of staff come and see me!"

Alex's calmness and coldness made the guards around him calm down. It seemed that things were not so bad, did they?

For people who march and fight, this kind of morale is the most important. It can't be lost at all. A little bit may make the whole thing extremely painful. I'm afraid the problem lies in the personal strength of the leader.

"It's so fast. It's not enough. It's not the time to get angry now. You still need to calm down." Alex said in his heart, then frowned and paced back and forth in the room, waiting for the chief of staff to come.

The chief of staff is a middle-aged scholar with a long figure. He is the queen's mother's name is Ptolemy. He is smart and famous in his hometown. Alex can get the position of commander of the Northern Legion, which is also done by him. It can be said that in terms of intellectual tricks alone, Prince Ursula may not be his. The opponent, what this guy lacks is only the overall view of the superior. When he walked in, Alex was obviously relieved, as if he had seen hope.
