The purpose of Xingguo's right minister's trip is to establish the ruling foundation of Xingguo in Fengguo. Lan City is just the starting point for Xingguo to occupy Fengguo. Fengguo still has many cities waiting to be taken over by Xingguo. Originally, the right minister was responsible for Regarding diplomatic matters, it is natural that he is now responsible for taking over the cities of Feng Kingdom. He does not need to spend much effort at all. As long as the Xing Kingdom has enough troops in Feng Kingdom, he can easily use the military power to establish administrative agencies in various cities of Feng Kingdom, and then pass Implement the laws of the Star Kingdom to consolidate the power of the Star Kingdom in the Feng Kingdom, so that the people of the Feng Kingdom can truly live under the rule of the Star Kingdom.
How long the Star Kingdom exists in the future will determine how long the people of the Feng Kingdom will be ruled by the Star Kingdom. Speaking of the army, the new recruits dispatched by the Star Kingdom royal family have been assigned to various battalions. The new recruits are trained differently from the veterans. , they need longer training to become real soldiers. Of course, if war can be used rationally, the growth rate of recruits can be accelerated. For the time being, Lan Wu has asked his subordinates to select recruits into the camp based on their characteristics.
During the selection of new recruits, the generals of the third battalion also competed for the third-level and fourth-level martial arts among them. For this reason, the generals of the third battalion were not happy, but this situation was no longer something Lan Wu needed to consider. He has full authority to leave these trivial matters to the counselors, and let the civil servants assist the generals of each battalion in dealing with daily problems in the army.
Those civil servants were accepted by Lan Wu personally, and their status was comparable to that of normal generals in the army. Even when facing the army's chief generals, they could handle it calmly. However, some generals held important positions just after they arrived and were not very strong. They are always not optimistic, and there is always a feeling that they are here to meddle in other people's business.
Only some generals with unique vision are willing to get close to the civil servants and accept their various opinions, because those generals know that they may have certain abilities in leading troops in combat, but their abilities in handling large and small affairs in the army are far inferior to those of the civil servants. , after all, many affairs of the Star Kingdom are usually taken care of by those civil servants and have nothing to do with them generals.
What's more important is that those civil servants came to assist them based on Lan Wu's orders. Those people even had the right to execute certain military orders on Lan Wu's behalf. Their opinions were equivalent to Lan Wu's opinions and they had to be listened to. This was why those generals were willing to cooperate with Lan Wu. The main reason why civil servants collaborate with each other.
Putting aside the problems between the new counselors and the generals, due to the arrival of the new recruits, the order in the army was somewhat chaotic. The new recruits who had not been tempered by war shrank when facing the veterans, which made the veterans look even more ugly. them.
However, according to Lan Wu's wishes, new recruits must be placed among veterans to train with them. As a result, although many veterans were reluctant to accept new recruits and even stated that new recruits would affect their training efficiency, no one dared to disobey the military orders above. At most, they just Just a few more complaints in private.
Having rested in the camp for half a month, the morale of the Star Army is not as sharp as it was when the war just ended. It has a lot more calmness. Under the deliberate guidance of the general above, the quality of the Star Army is improving as a whole. Of course, The process is slow, especially with so many new recruits joining.
There are now three armies of the Star Army stationed around Lan City, each with more than 60,000 troops, and the total strength is once again close to 200,000. To maintain the daily expenses of the army, the supplies in Lan City alone are naturally not enough. Lan Wu has sent people to deal with this matter. Whenever he goes to attack Breakwind City, Lan Wu must be prepared in terms of supplies.
After explaining some affairs in the army, Lan Wu's attention gradually shifted to other matters. Through discussions with the right minister of the Star Kingdom, he had already learned about some situations in the country and the situation between the royal family of the Star Kingdom and its allies. .
Since they sent troops to the Feng Kingdom, the country has been stable. In addition, because the five countries are from the same lineage, the alliance between them is extremely stable. However, the current situation faced by each of the allies is very severe. Almost every country is dealing with the coming from the enemy. Attacks by neighboring armies.
For the five countries, the war they are facing is a huge test. If one of them is breached, the other four countries will lack a helping hand. But no matter what, judging from the current situation, the alliance is the general trend, unless It wants to become a weapon of those big countries, otherwise all countries will rise up to resist.
Lan Ze had already conveyed various resolutions regarding the royal family to Lan Wu before. Lan Wu never questioned them and only hoped that all the allies could survive the most difficult period.
Perhaps this global war will not end in a unified way in the end, but it is certain that once that happens, the countries that can still survive will be powerful countries. Lan Wu's idea is not different from the beginning, even if the direction is To perish, it would be much better for them to actively participate in the world's strife than to passively participate in the world's strife.
The news brought to him by the Right Prime Minister involves many aspects, but of course it still has certain limitations. There are more than ten countries between the Five Nations Alliance and the ancient Yuan Dynasty. How many of them have surrendered to the Ancient Yuan Dynasty? The Right Minister It is not clear that this will affect their efforts to win over allies in the future.
If the country they want to win over has secretly surrendered to the ancient Yuan Dynasty, it will be extremely detrimental to their alliance. However, winning over surrounding countries is a way to strengthen themselves and the alliance. At present, Lan Wu cannot abandon this point. regardless of.
From the right minister, Lan Wu also knew that the progress of wooing allies was slow, but he believed that once this foreign policy made progress, it would definitely bring great help to the alliance. Of course, if used improperly, it would most likely bring harm to the alliance. It must be dangerous to come.
During war, any risk issue is particularly prominent and may very well determine the survival of a country.
Putting aside the general trend, what Lan Wu is more concerned about right now is the situation closer to the Star Kingdom. The news brought by the right minister also includes information about Feng Kingdom’s neighbor Qing Kingdom. Qing Kingdom is not an ally of the Star Kingdom, and its land area is smaller than that of the Star Kingdom. Star Country is bigger.
Like the Feng Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom has chosen to submit to the ancient Yuan Kingdom. During the Star Kingdom's attack on the Feng Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom's army was fighting against the Lei Kingdom, the southern neighbor of the Star Kingdom. The terrain of the Lei Kingdom was different from that of the Star Kingdom, and its western border was completely different. It borders the Star Kingdom and another ally, so the Lei Kingdom can concentrate its forces in the east and fight with the Qing Kingdom with all its strength. Originally, the two countries were about the same size. During the battle, the military strength of the two countries was also the same, so at the beginning The suspense of war is naturally great.
The two countries have been fighting for nearly two months. Perhaps because the Lei Kingdom does not have an outstanding commander or the Qing Kingdom has average commander-in-chief capabilities, the war between the two countries has been in a stalemate. Lan Wu is not only concerned about the fighting situation between the two countries. In addition, there is another point, that is, since Qingguo and Fengguo are both vassals of the ancient Yuan Kingdom, Qingguo will most likely send troops to assist Fengguo.
If the ancient Yuan Kingdom dispatched troops from the Qing Kingdom to support the Feng Kingdom in time, it would be difficult for the Star Kingdom to completely annex the Feng Kingdom, and the battlefield might even expand to the territory of the Qing Kingdom.
In addition, even if Qingguo does not support Fengguo, the countries surrounding Fengguo may still have troops coming to help, so the war will still be over. What he can do now is to ask Leiguo to fight against Qingguo before the decisive battle with Fengguo. Putting all-round pressure on Qingguo, it was impossible for Qingguo to rush to aid Fengguo.
According to Lan Wu's speculation, no matter how long it takes, the war between the Star Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom will begin sooner or later. Now everything is ready, except that the siege equipment has not arrived. Unfortunately, the delivery speed of the siege equipment is not even half of the normal march. Unexpectedly, they have been waiting for half a month, and may have to wait another month. It is a long time, and Lan Wu wants to ensure that the situation does not change too much within a month.
Generally speaking, the situation of the Star Army in Feng Country is optimistic, but judging from the situation in the entire Central Region, the situation of Star Country is still extremely difficult. Compared with those big countries, Star Country is still just a small country.
Of course, the formation of the alliance means that the Star Kingdom will not sit still and wait for death. Only by taking the initiative now can they not easily perish in future wars, and even have the possibility of surviving.
After dealing with some matters within the Star Army, Lan Wu was already paying attention to the situation outside the Star Kingdom. Those big countries were annexing small countries too quickly, using coercion and inducement. Most of them forced the small countries to submit in a non-harmful way, and then took advantage of the small countries. The army expands their territory. Lan Wu can only treat this situation with an indifferent attitude, because some things are not fair in themselves.
News continued to come from various places, and what concerned him the most was the thunderous means of the Luotian Holy Kingdom to annex the surrounding small countries. All countries that were unwilling to surrender would face the danger of being destroyed. The Luotian Holy Kingdom in the west was expanding its territory with powerful force. Those countries that were annexed by Luotian Holy Kingdom have become the territory of Luotian Holy Kingdom.
The Holy Kingdom of Luotian directly deprived those countries of their titles. Whether the royal families of those countries are willing to surrender or not, as long as they do not want to die, they must bow to the Holy Kingdom of Luotian from now on. The tough methods of the Holy Kingdom of Luotian will naturally attract the attention of many countries. dissatisfaction.
