In late June of the sixth year of the Divine Calendar, the half-year-long Bywaste Civil War temporarily came to an end. [First text,
In the spotlight, Dragon City swept through most of Byvost with lightning speed, which made many people feel that it was both expected and unexpected.
In the two major battles in the north and south, Longcheng invested as many as 500,000 troops, and faced more than 800,000 enemies. The largest battle took place in the imperial capital, where Longcheng invested around 60,000 troops, while the eldest prince
The troops under his command also numbered nearly 150,000. The final result was that Dragon City captured the imperial city of Byvost at a very small cost, while the defeated eldest prince was defeated and died.
The northern campaign lasted for a month, and the result was that Dragon City completely controlled the important core area of the empire.
The southern campaign took a relatively long time. In three months, Dragon City leveled the southern region. Under the dual pressure of military and political forces, all resistance factors in the south were eliminated. At this point, Dragon City finally completed its territory.
The expansion extended its sphere of influence to the southern border of Byvost.
During the Southern Campaign, Longcheng also engaged in a brief but fierce battle with the Fourth Prince in the eastern region. A battle broke out between the two sides at the Adiya Fortress, and the result ended with Longcheng's complete victory. The Fourth Prince did not achieve the strategic goal
Instead, due to Longcheng's quick response, an elite force was destroyed.
Subsequently, the two sides began to confront each other, starting from the Hengduan River and extending to the central region. Longcheng and the Eastern forces entered a state of war and confrontation, but no more fighting broke out.
After completing two major battles, Longcheng finally had enough strength to aspire to the supreme power of the empire. Almost everyone thought that Zhou Yunfei would take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the resistance forces entrenched in the eastern region in one fell swoop, but the result was unexpected. Longcheng
After the city ended its southern campaign, it did not launch another major campaign, but entered a period of peace.
Many people are wondering why Dragon City didn't take advantage of the general trend and directly wipe out the eastern region, but chose to die out.
There are actually many reasons for this.
One of them is that after half a year of large-scale military operations, Dragon City has begun to run out of logistics, and Dragon City's fiscal deficit will be very huge this year. Fighting is very expensive, soldiers' salaries have to be increased, and weapons and equipment have to be doubled.
, fallen soldiers need pensions, and injured soldiers also need care. These expenses caused Lu Su, who was in charge of finance, to lose a lot of hair, because since the war started, people who come to him for money can break through the Ministry of Finance every day.
door!
Not only that, it is said that conquering a country is difficult, but defending a country is even harder. The two major battles that have just ended in Longcheng each captured more land than Longcheng itself. How to manage these places has become a top priority. The dispatch of officials
, infrastructure repairs, and there are still many disaster victims in need of rescue. These aspects have kept the entire Dragon City interior department extremely busy.
Even Zhuge Liang, the head of internal affairs, sleeps less than three hours a day, which shows how much things need to be dealt with. Of course, this situation will be much better after the officials are appointed, because now the various headquarters departments of Dragon City are quite
So I was helping local departments handle affairs, and naturally the tasks were heavy.
Another reason why Zhou Yunfei stopped his conquests was that he did not want to face the military pressure of other empires yet.
The southern region of the empire originally intersected with two empires on the mainland, one was the Alton Empire and the other was the Nohr Empire. In the past, in order to face the pressure of the two empires, Byvost always stationed heavy troops on the border for defense.
Now that Dragon City controls these areas, it no longer needs to invest so much experience.
With the demise of the Alton Empire, the military pressure of the past suddenly disappeared. However, the Nore Empire is now in civil strife and has no time to consider matters in the north. What's more, within the Nore Empire, Dragon City has firmly nailed a nail.
Therefore, when the edge of Dragon City arrived at the border area, the Noel Empire not only did not show caution, but was a little happy. The royal family of the Nole Empire and some super families in the empire had established a quite happy relationship with Dragon City.
Friendship. Now that Longcheng's military front has radiated to the border areas, the leaders of the Nuoer Empire actually immediately sent people to contact Zhou Yunfei, hoping that he could send troops to help the Nuoer Empire quell the civil strife! After that, the Nuoer Empire was willing to cede a large area of land in the north.
Give to Dragon City!
Even Zhou Yunfei was a little stunned when he saw this request. He shook his head. The Nuoer Empire was completely ruined. He actually wanted the armies of other empires to help his country quell the chaos. What does this mean? This shows that the Nuoer Empire no longer has confidence.
Stability is restored.
After Zhuge Liang learned about it, he immediately came to see Zhou Yunfei.
"Sir, are you here to persuade me?" Zhou Yunfei understood Zhuge Liang's intention after seeing him.
A smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face, "Seeing that my lord is like this, I'm afraid Liang has worried too much before." Yes, before entering the door, Zhuge Liang was indeed afraid that Zhou Yunfei would not be able to resist the temptation and send troops after receiving the request from the Nuoer Empire.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang was also a little moved. After all, the land promised to be ceded by the Nuoer Empire was quite large, and due to the terrain, it was a plain area suitable for farming.
Due to the continuous wars in the Nuoer Empire, the land has been idle. If Longcheng can obtain that land, it will definitely increase the agricultural output value greatly.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Once Zhou Yunfei is tempted, there are many disadvantages to Dragon City sending troops. Apart from the increasingly tight finances, the more important reason is that once Dragon City officials intervene, it will inevitably lead to the Byron Empire at the southern end of the continent directly
Invasion of the Nohr Empire. At that time, the situation will be led to consequences that no one can predict. Zhou Yunfei is not prepared to face the powerful Byron Empire now.
Moreover, once Zhou Yunfei sends troops, will the fourth prince take the opportunity to make some moves? No one can tell, because behind the fourth prince, there is an equally powerful empire, the Oakley Empire.
Dragon City is not yet ready to compete with these two established empires, so this is why Zhou Yunfei did not continue to attack the east. To put it more simply, it is not that Zhou Yunfei cannot conquer the eastern region, but that he will face the Oakley Empire after conquering it.
The pressure is too much.
Recently, the Intelligence Bureau has discovered that the Oakley Empire has begun to contact the Fourth Prince. Before the envoys sent could see Zhou Yunfei, the Northern Campaign broke out. Then Dragon City won one after another, directly destroying the plans of the Oakley Empire.
Chaos. As a last resort, the Oakley Empire had no choice but to abandon the powerful Zhou Yunfei and focus on the fourth prince. Their idea was very simple. They could not have a powerful neighbor around them. Now that Zhou Yunfei was in a favorable situation, they could only choose the four princes.
Prince, as long as the fourth prince does not fall, a unified Bywister will not appear.
Zhou Yunfei is very concerned about this, because he knows that every old empire has its own foundation. Don't look at the previous April War, when Zhou Yunfei defeated the huge Alton Empire by relying only on the First Cavalry Division, but there are still some
A lot of luck. If the Byvost Empire hadn't been supporting him at the time and containing hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Alton Empire at the border, then the troops that encircled and suppressed the First Cavalry Division at that time were not the private soldiers of the Senate family.
, but the regular army.
It can be said that the current strength of Dragon City is the third largest force in the mainland after Byron and Oakley. Of course, this is except for the aliens in the eastern forest of the mainland.
The war has come to an end for the time being, and Dragon City has also entered a stage of recuperation. Business has also begun to slowly recover, especially the internal trade within the empire that was interrupted due to the previous war, is now beginning to slowly recover. As for the military confrontation with the fourth prince, this kind of
This is not the first time Longcheng has done this, and everyone has a tacit understanding.
The fourth prince needs time to strengthen his strength, especially the lost elite troops that need to be rebuilt. Of course, with the support of the Oakley Empire, his recovery speed may be greatly accelerated. As for Bruce Dale, the current patriarch of the Rose family, Kelly
; For Bruce Dale, this period of time was not so easy. The increasing opposition in the family made her a little anxious. What was even more troublesome was that her most beloved child, Cortese, was actually killed by that abominable Zhou Yunfei.
Got it!
This news almost made this woman crazy. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have been ready to command the family army to fight directly against Zhou Yunfei. If she really wanted to do this, Zhou Yunfei would probably laugh while sleeping. Although he can't fight in large-scale battles,
If possible, Zhou Yunfei wouldn't mind doing this kind of battle more often, because this is the best way to significantly weaken the opponent's strength.
After the battle, Longcheng began to adjust its deployment policy.
The first priority is for the First Army in the South to move north and exchange with the Third Army led by Li Lan. The threat in the South is very weak, and the military confrontation in the North is becoming increasingly tense, so the First Army is more effective in dealing with it.
.
After that, the 50th Army also moved its base to the central region of the empire. They and the Second Army of the Imperial Capital simultaneously built the central defense line and exerted huge military pressure on the eastern region.
The First Cavalry Division withdrew. The war was tense before and Zhou Yunfei had to transfer the First Cavalry Division, which had not completed the training plan, to the northern battlefield. Now that the war is over, and a major war is unlikely to break out in the short term, so he will
The 1st Cavalry Division has been transferred back. This unit is Zhou Yunfei's heart and soul. One missing member will make him feel distressed for a long time.
The Mountain Army of the 52nd Army is still stationed in the south. Their mission is to wait for the Third Army to arrive at the station and exchange defense lines, and then return to the Far North. As the 52nd Army guarding the vast area in the Far North, they will once again return to their familiar territory.
Among the steep mountains.
The 51st Army took over the task of the former First Army, which was to defend the core area of Dragon City. Their location also became the former First Army's location in Seth City.
There is nothing outstanding about the defense transfer between the major forces. However, one unit that has not been noticed is missing from this transfer list: the 1st Marine Division. This unit that performed well in the Northern Campaign is now
But they have already left the Byvost Empire and appeared in the central plain of Ross Continent! What on earth are they going to do?
