The good news is that the Toulon Port Navy used existing repaired ships to form a trial fleet (eleven large and small warships and five armed auxiliary/transport ships), and successfully hunted three sea monsters on its first trip to sea; and incidentally
Defeated the squadron of the Kingdom of Sardinia; captured four galleys.
Then they followed the waterway and arrived at the North African region on the other side of the Mediterranean; therefore, they are now successfully returning to Hong Kong with loads of loot/specialties and messengers/representatives from overseas provinces (regions). What follows is
What is important is that the waterways and African trade routes have been opened up.
But the bad news is that due to the long-term turmoil in the kingdom and the frequent changes in orders. In addition, in order to resist the Western Romanian/Northern Italian coalition forces, a large number of overseas corps were deployed in many overseas provinces and colonial cities; the size of the remaining local garrison has been reduced.
reduced to a dangerous level.
Although in a short period of time, no major problems have arisen, only some riots caused by tribes on the edge of the inland desert; but once the indigenous groups in overseas provinces and large and small groups see that they are weak and defenseless, sooner or later,
Rebellion will be rekindled through internal and external collaboration.
Therefore, in the major cities and towns in today's overseas provinces, immigrants from the kingdom and vassal naturalized people have been armed and mobilized to varying degrees to prepare for emergencies. However, this level of war preparedness can only be used temporarily, but
It is impossible to meet the requirements of overseas provinces with vast territories and sparsely populated areas for a long time.
Not to mention, the economic structure of the overseas provinces is relatively simple, and the industrial system is mainly plantations and mines, relying heavily on input and complementation from the kingdom's mainland; not to mention the local provision of repairs and supplements of weapons and equipment. Therefore, although it is currently
Nothing happened, but it was hard to conceal the dangers lurking around.
Therefore, as a representative of the overseas provinces, he went to the Kingdom many times to seek help, but basically there was no news. It was not until the Toulon navy, which had joined the Free Army, successfully arrived at the port of Algiers that he became seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
sent a joint petition delegation.
The request/complaint put forward by the delegation is also very simple and clear; no matter which side of the kingdom it is, as long as it can provide sufficient military assistance to the overseas provinces headed by Algiers, or even redeploy troops to garrison, it can be accepted.
Any unified military and political order.
Of course, for Jiang Tian, even if he doesn't care about the plantations and mine output of the overseas provinces, he can't help but care about the overseas provinces crossing the desert and heading to Axum in East Africa, the Nubian countries or the Haina city-state in West Africa.
, and even trade lines that penetrate deep into the interior of the black continent.
This is the kingdom's rulers in the past. They spent huge manpower and material resources and killed countless groups of explorers and adventure groups. They also repelled and defeated countless waves of indigenous forces supported by enemies/competitors before they opened up.
and the mainland trade route/trade route that connects it.
What's more, it is said that on the East African coastline near the Kingdom of Axum, there are vassals and territories directly belonging to the East Tusalis Empire. After the change of the celestial sphere hundreds of years ago, a few restored and maintained the relationship between the Eastern and Western continents.
The political power and power that have the ability to travel between and between the country and the country are located.
Once overseas provinces lack the ability to be self-sufficient and therefore collapse or undergo structural degradation, these trade routes that have been operating for many years will no longer be able to maintain. In addition, overseas provinces may still exist under the rule of relatively hard-working and hard-working people.
, hundreds of thousands of potential soldiers who are tough and brave.
Because, in Jiang Tian's memory, the kingdom tirelessly sent adventure groups and explorers to explore the black continent; there were also garrison rotations from past generations; and a large number of mixed-race abandoned children were also left in the local area; and these abandoned children
As a result, a special ethnic group was formed.
Although the kingdom has strictly restricted them in the past dynasties, they can only become auxiliary troops and miscellaneous servants of the overseas corps; only a very few who have outstanding performance or have sufficient merits can be granted the status of formal sergeants. However, when placed in the Free Army,
No problem at all.
In other words, today's middle and upper classes in overseas provinces still have to guard against and guard against them to some extent; they dare not fully arm and use this group; they are worried that after they gather in sufficient numbers, they will turn against customers and threaten the provincial power; but recruitment
It's no problem if you come to your home country.
In other words, such a group between the indigenous people and the immigrants from the Kingdom has never received enough recognition; it is a potential legacy and time bomb that accumulates over time; once some individuals among them wake up, they can stand up
It will explode when you raise your arms.
Therefore, by recruiting soldiers from the Kingdom's mainland, we gave them a glimmer of hope in terms of identity; at the same time, we took the opportunity to remove the more capable and capable members, or those with potential ambitions and demands; leaving most of the people who followed the trend.
It's nothing to worry about.
Therefore, both publicly and privately, it seems necessary for Jiang Tian to form a corps specially sent to overseas provinces; the weapons and equipment do not have to be sophisticated, but the physical fitness and environmental adaptability of the relevant personnel must be good enough, and the logistics support
Also make sure you are relatively well prepared.
But in terms of specific candidates, Jiang Tian is thinking about whether to transfer Thiago or Portos back to fill the role; because when sent to colonies/overseas provinces, they are more used for suppression/garrison, recruitment and other maintenance functions; it does not require too much
To be too capable requires the tact to deal with situations.
"Sir" saw the neatly dressed Adjutant Polly, who took the initiative to appear in front of Jiang Tian, and half-knelt down. "Now, as Adjutant Polly, I beg you to give me this honor and responsibility..."
…, it’s also an opportunity to test some of my ideas and possibilities.”
"Let's put it this way, Adjutant Poli, have you been to overseas provinces and have you ever understood what kind of place it is?" Jiang Tian sighed: "I have at least stayed there for a while. Heat and drought are everywhere all year round.
There are mosquitoes and venomous snakes, and there are endless fevers.”
"There are also those indigenous people and tribesmen who only fear power and bravery, the outlaws, desperadoes, and smugglers who roam everywhere; did you know that Liege in the black continent is enough to quickly expose an unprotected pedestrian?
Adults do it. This is also the simplest method of murder."
"But the most terrifying thing is the sandstorm that comes and goes without a trace. Without the protection of buildings and sufficient experienced self-rescue methods, a group of people can disappear without a trace at any time... Adjutant Polly, do you think you are
, are you ready to face all this?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Adjutant Polly/Paulina was silent for a while before speaking: "Despite this, sir, I still want to give it a try. Thank you for your high hopes and expectations for me, and there are still many things that are difficult to achieve.
trust; but just like that, I hope to do more for you."
"Do you hope that I will always be under your wings and gain merits and honors step by step?" At this point, she said solemnly: "Actually, I still have personal selfishness. I asked about my brother's news. Someone
Qin Yan saw him in Tunisia..."
"Polly, if you want to find someone, you can entrust a professional exploration group. As long as you invest a sufficient amount, there will always be results." Jiang Tian continued to refuse and persuade: "I have no reason to spend thousands.
To protect the safety of the soldiers, I will accompany you to continue your adventure...,"
After all, the liquidation and tracing of outliers will continue. This is also a great opportunity to legitimately cleanse the nobility and church class and separate them from the lower-level knights/jazz groups. This is also what Jiang Tian plans to do now
The main task assigned to her.
However, the next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly saw a prompt popping up out of thin air in his field of vision: "Paulina's family affairs, the second stage (81%). Side mission: The Glory of the Eagle (0%)."
"Okay!" He couldn't help but sigh heavily and changed his words: "But no matter what, I order you to make all preparations; I will find you several experienced guides and temporary teachers from Marseille Port.
When necessary, you must respect the judgment of the professional field. Your own safety must be the top priority in all actions, followed by the safety of your subordinates and your responsibilities, and finally other things can be considered; otherwise, no matter where you are,
I will deprive and cancel your command authority at any time."
"Thank you, sir!" Seeing her clenching her fists in joy. At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly realized and felt that it was similar to the one in "Pretty Girl Dream Factory" where the daughter who worked hard to cultivate has her own ideas when she grows up.
and assertiveness, but with mixed emotions of helplessness and relief.
However, the next moment, as he just closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his face, and a somewhat stuttering and trembling voice: "I...I...don't want to compete with Ms. Marlena...
What. This...this...is just a thank you gift to the elders."
So a moment later, looking at the figure who was running away from the door like a frightened rabbit, Jiang Tian once again showed an unknown smile; after all, who can refuse a punch from a young and fit girl? However,
Not long after, Teresa also slipped in.
"It turns out that you are also interested in this type of thing!" Then, she was seen holding an ugly and cute puppet, looking at Jiang Tian with a strange look and saying: "Why don't you just turn her into a doll too?"
Your lover, so that you can be together every day without any hindrance."
"Then, if I don't have time to look for Marlena, you can spend more time with her?" Jiang Tian smiled unmoved and said: "Sometimes, the senses are too sensitive,
It’s not a good thing either. Is it fun to be forced to hear sounds that good kids shouldn’t know all day long?”
"It's not you who caused it!" When the petite Teresa heard this, her face suddenly fell: "Every time, I was told to hide far away, and I couldn't go back to rest all night long...
...In the end, she couldn't help but beg for mercy even in her sleep... By the way, mother asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to rest tonight?"
However, Jiang Tian just glanced at her meaningfully, and Teresa suddenly felt a little creepy, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, that's just a secret between you and me. I don't want to make my mother sad, let alone make her feel
