Chapter 500 Military Speculation The Roland Empire, by and large, has been at peace for a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, although there have been some occasional small frictions with the orcs on the border, on the whole, this hundred years are definitely worthy of the evaluation of "peaceful times".
The top wealthy family of an empire, in a peaceful environment, carried the emperor behind his back, and two generations of emperors on his back, quietly cultivating his own army, expanding the army, and even hid the army quietly outside the country to hone and experience What's more, this family was originally inextricably related to the imperial family, whether it was strength, prestige, or origin, they were all qualified to compete for the throne, and they were absolutely qualified to launch a strong challenge to the emperor's throne At this time, this family suddenly created a secret army that no one knew about, and the number should not be too small, and it was secretly preparing for war What the hell is this?
If you analyze it like this, it is very scary to think about it The duchess of the Tulip family, what the hell does she want to do If it is said that after Shiloh took the throne, she secretly pulled out an army to be secretly cultivated on the grassland, perhaps it can be justified with the reason of "self-preservation", after all, it was Shiloh who raised the butcher's knife against the Tulip family first.
But the problem is that this duchess started the layout two years ago, and it is even more likely to be earlier You know, two years ago, it was His Majesty Marchi who treated the Tulip family very favorably So what do the Tulip family want to do when they secretly cultivate such an army Do you still need to ask?
There seems to be no other answer than rebellion Spann sat there, his body falling into the ice cellar, only to feel chills all over his body, even his fingers were already cold If the fact that the great Tulip family rebelled completely subverted the glorious and great image of the Tulip family in Span's mind, then the more important question in reality was: being an imperial official.
As an imperial official assisting Panin in the northwest, how should I deal with it?
The most important reason why he was willing to do his best to come to the northwest to assist Panin was that he believed that Panin did not want to fight a civil war, and he believed that Panin wanted to stabilize the situation in the northwest.
But I never expected that I and Panin were here, trying their best to suppress those Luo Lin family, Aker's descendants, and suppress them to stir up trouble in the northwest.
But it turned out that the Tulip family itself had already prepared for war If it was the Tulip family themselves, they would have been ready to start a civil war "There are two other possibilities that we have to fully consider."
Panin said slowly: "First.
This time the abnormal movement on the grassland, the gathering of the grassland people, and the eastward invasion of our country, it is likely that the tulip family has a role in it.
I even suspect that this is a deliberate move by the Tulip family, and even although the Prairie King is the initiator of the war, he is likely to be just a puppet of the Tulip family.
It is not difficult for you and me to imagine that when the time comes, the 200,000 and 300,000 cavalry of the steppe people will enter the country and drive straight into the northwest.
The Tulip family sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, watching the Imperial army and the steppe people defeat each other, and then they came out again and cleaned up the rivers and mountains.
Until that time.
The prestige of the Tulip family will reach its peak at that time, even if they take advantage of the trend and replace the royal family.
It's not that hard anymore. ” Panin's guess immediately hit the most fearful and soft spot in Span's heart This was also the most terrifying answer he had vaguely guessed in his heart "There is a second possibility, the white king of the steppe.
I now suspect that our Hiloh Majesty has been deceived.
His Majesty Shiloh originally thought that he and the White King were teaming up.
Mobilize the steppe people to put pressure on the tulip family.
But in fact, I even suspect that the White King has long been in collusion with the Tulip family.
Otherwise, it's a coincidence."
"Legend has it that the vein of the White King on the grassland was originally related to the Tulip family."
Spann gritted his teeth.
Panin nodded, and he quickly walked behind the table, pulled out a map from the cabinet, laid it out on the table, and asked Span to stand and look at it.
"We only have two divisions of Thor's Whip in our hands now, and although they are elite, they are obviously under-armed.
There are only tens of thousands of troops in total, and half of them are infantry, in the northwest of this flat place, the infantry can only be used to defend the city, if it is a decisive battle with the cavalry on the plain, it is definitely looking for death and the opponent's forces still have an advantage.
Panin said quickly: "So, I have made some plans in my heart, once the war breaks out and the enemy comes from the west, then we can only shrink our forces, and when necessary, take Mulan City as a stronghold, radiate the surrounding three or four towns, and form a military area As for the west of Mulan City, the rest of the land in Nulin Province, we can only temporarily give up Mulan City as the boundary, which is what we must defend to the death, because once we cross Mulan City, to the east is the Qianli Plain, and the Lancang Canal, the enemy can go down the river and go straight to the imperial capital." ” Span immediately nodded: "So, Mulan City is the key, and the city defense of Mulan City was originally built according to the standards of the Empire's first-level military fortress.
And the other three surrounding cities, the city defense has also reached the standard of a second-level fortress.
We rely on these cities as the focus of defense, firmly nailed here, so no matter who the enemy is, unless we eat us here, otherwise, as long as we exist, they will never be able to cross us and drive straight in, otherwise, we can threaten their rear at any time From a military point of view, your plan is feasible. ” The two glanced at each other, and they both knew very well in their hearts that although they said "no matter who the enemy is", everyone already understood in their hearts at this moment that this enemy was most likely the invincible Tulip family "Once the war breaks out, as long as we can hold on to Nulin Province for half a year, maybe three months will be enough, then we have the entire empire as the rear, and the Lancang River, the east-west artery of the empire, as a blood channel, and the aid from the rear will continue to be delivered to us.
The empire mobilized troops in the rear, local garrisons, and even reserves, and drew troops from the north and south and the east coast to the northwest by water from the Lancang River, as long as we could hold here for three months. trimester Span's mouth was a little bitter.
Trimester.
Easier said than done If it was before he came to the northwest this time, including Shiloh and Aker, they all thought that the Thor's whip of the two divisions was enough to keep an eye on the Tulip family in the northwest.
Even if the strength of the two divisions is no match for the Tulip family, at least, if a civil war breaks out, there is no problem in temporarily holding the Tulip family back.
But now the situation is decidedly different Because now the two already know that Tulip had been preparing for war two years ago A tulip family that did not mobilize for war, did not prepare. and a tulip family that has been deployed for two years to prepare for the war, are two completely different existences Two years of secret preparation was enough for the Tulip family to adjust the army to the best condition.
The equipment and weapons of the army have been replaced and maintained to the best state, and the morale of the army and the allocation of personnel have been secretly adjusted to the best combination.
Even baggage, ordnance, supplies. are well prepared They even secretly cultivated a cavalry in the steppe It is conceivable that with the financial resources and strength of the Tulip family, the number of this cavalry cultivated will never be less, and the strength will never be bad And.
Unlike the Roland Empire, there has been no peace on the steppe in the past hundred years.
Wars between tribes, the change of steppe kings, wars for royal power It can be guessed.
The army that the Tulip family secretly cultivated on the grassland must be the elite of a hundred battles, and it is not just those soldiers trained from the training ground.
Definitely have been on the battlefield, killed people and seen blood.
A real elite Such an army, when encountering those so-called "elites" who have not been on the battlefield, can definitely be one as ten This is no joke or exaggeration.
The two glanced at each other, both grim faces.
No matter how confident and proud Panin is, he will not think that with the thunder whip of two divisions, he can compete with the elite army of the Tulip family, and he has to add two or three hundred thousand steppe cavalry The two divisions will not add up to more than 50,000 people.

What's more, it is not an old army that he is used to, and it has only been two or three months since he took over this army.
The Tulip House also has many terrible weapons of war For example, the Air Force Span's face turned pale.
In that protracted war more than a hundred years ago, the Tulip family contributed so much magical power The only air force of the empire at that time was formed by the Tulip family After more than a hundred years of history, although the Tulip family is now on the surface of the light does not have a powerful air force.
However, anyone with a little brain can imagine that as the founder of the Air Force, the Tulip Family really did not have an Air Force "There's only one thing I can't figure out right now."
Panin's face was solemn, and he sighed softly, reaching out to a spot on the map.
Span's eyes flickered The place where Panin pointed out, not elsewhere, was the Northwest Fortress "As an important border town in the northwest, the northwest border line of the empire, and such an important position in the fortress group, if the Tulip family really wants to rebel, why would they give up such a place and hand over this place to that Darling Chen?"
Panin narrowed his eyes: "It stands to reason that from a military point of view, if the Tulip family really has the intention of rebellion, they should firmly grasp this location, once the war breaks out, they can draw troops from the high northwest fortress and go south directly, and then they can attack us on both sides." ” ` Unconsciously the fifth hundred, hehe. ` To be continued “”:
