Roland first confirmed Prime Minister Lloyd's speculation, and then stressed that the call for national preparedness was not just directed at the "Naroku Order".
"We should also note that in the aftermath of the Collasburg massacre, the official media in the holy city of Yassan's holy city published a series of gloating remarks, and even incited public opinion in the newspapers, advocating the use of the opportunity to launch a crusade.
Obviously, this is a deliberate rumor from the rulers of the empire, and once public opinion is stirred up, a great army will be imperative. ” "Considering the threat from the West, we must be prepared for two wars at once: on the Southern Front, we will eliminate the threat of the Order of Nara; On the Western Front, we must have the courage to resist the aggressors and completely crush the ambitions of the imperial authorities for the Far East" "Ladies and gentlemen, I repeat that at this very moment, in 1625, we had to mobilize all our resources and prepare for two wars at the same time, and all we were doing at the moment was for one goal, achieving final victory on both the Southern and Western Fronts."
Listening to Roland's resounding declaration, the cabinet ministers all changed color.
His Royal Highness the Prince was determined to go to war, and his ministers were not opposed to war, but they did not have the confidence to win two wars at the same time.
War is a professional art, and Roland did not dare to pretend to be a wise commander, and his confidence came from his understanding of the enemy, from his deep understanding of the thoughts and thoughts of tens of millions of compatriots, and from his knowledge of the country's finances and material reserves.
He has been preparing for this day for five whole years, and if he does not have the confidence to win, it only means that he does not deserve to sit in his current position.
Since war is a professional art, Roland did not intend to discuss a specific combat plan with all the civilian officials present, and the day after the meeting, Roland shifted the focus of his work to the military field, first changing into military uniforms to inspect the newly established "Far East Shooting Army," and then going to the front line of the Zhuolang River to inspect the border garrison, the purpose of which was nothing more than to appease the morale of the army.
The two bigwigs of the Far Eastern military, General Alexei and General Pavel, served as commanders-in-chief of the "Shooting Army" and the "Border Guards" respectively, and accompanied Roland throughout the inspection of the army, showing his absolute allegiance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with their actions.
Roland also did not treat these two founding fathers who had taught them martial arts like a mentor, and awarded General Alexei and General Pavel the scepter respectively.
On January 3, Roland returned from the front line of the Turbidity River and immediately summoned air force generals led by brothers and sisters Jersey and Jennifer to inspect the Far East Air Force.
On January 4, Roland went to the North Bay to meet with the Yangbo sisters and the Far East Navy Admiral Lord Helena Drake, and the party boarded the battleship "Yangbo" and went to Kolas Island to inspect the joint ship parade held by the "North Sea Fleet" and the "White Gull Fleet".
In less than a week, Roland traveled all over the country, inspected all the naval, army, and air forces, and gained a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the current military strength of the Far East.
According to the statistics compiled by the military, Roland was pleasantly surprised to find that the Far East was stronger than he had thought, and this was the most valuable legacy his father left him.
The oldest ace unit of the Far Eastern Army is the "Holy Guard Heavy Cavalry Division", and the officers and men are all the "Black Guards" who followed Rudolph to fight the world, with a total of no less than 10,000 brave and skilled heavy gun knights, who made great achievements for the independent establishment of the Far East, and later transferred to the more powerful "Sindra Holy Guard" during the consecration ceremony of Krasbourg.
The "Holy Guard Heavy Cavalry Division" nominally belonged to His Majesty's Guard, but this elite unit was not idle in Krasberg, but was deployed on the western border, under the personal command of Marshal Pavel, and was a steel line of defense at the forefront of the Empire's invasion.
The "Cavalry Hunting Division", which is also known as the "Far Eastern Rangers", is also an ace unit with a glorious history.
The predecessor of the Far Eastern Cavalry Division was the "Bow Corps" formed by Evgenia herself twenty years ago, when the Kolas Regiment was just a newly formed militia, and the backbone was either Rudolph-trained knights or Evgenia's students, the former later developed into heavily armored lancers, and the latter specialized in cavalry and archery, gradually developing into lightly armored chasseurs.
The heavy cavalry is good at attacking the enemy's position and is unstoppable, and the chasseur is good at long-range sniping, and its skillful riding and archery skills provide it with more tactical detour space.
The Chaser Division was created by Evgenia, and now Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant, and it is obviously no longer suitable to command this unit on the battlefield, and the Chaser Division is under the command of Lyudmila's fellow brother, the quasi-legendary ranger General Kalinin, and has now been reequipped with Far Eastern Type 1624 air rifles, which are also stationed on the east bank of the Turbidity River.
In addition to the above two veteran cavalry divisions that followed Rudolph to fight the world, a new cavalry division was established after the founding of the Far East, which mainly came from the Lucia Plateau, so it was called the "Kitland Grenadier Division".
The peculiarity of this unit is that, in addition to the traditional weapons, armor and horses, each grenadier is also equipped with eight new grenades, and each squad is equipped with two grenadiers specially designed to throw smoothbore shells, called cavalry, which actually undertakes part of the combat mission of artillery.
The infantry units of the Far East were also well formed.
This included a division of heavy infantry, all of whom were Far Eastern dwarves from Icewind Dale.
In addition to the traditional heavy infantry equipment, in recent years, a new weapon called air rifle has been added, which has greatly enhanced the long-range firepower of the heavy infantry, so that this brave and strong dwarf regiment has more tactical options in addition to the traditional heavy infantry phalanx.
The main force of the Far Eastern infantry was the "Shooting Corps", which had been established for less than a year.
This unit was formed and trained by Marshal Alexei and consisted of three divisions: the commander of the first division was Roland's old friend, Major General Vigraf; The commander of the 2nd Division was Roland's first friend at the beginning of his journey to the world of Vares, Major General Ivan; The commander of the Third Division was also an old subordinate who accompanied Roland to his death, and last year he was transferred from the Southern Xinjiang Grenadier Regiment to the Major General and Division Commander Alexander, a division commander of the Shooting Corps.
According to his impressions from his own inspection, Roland believes that the Shooting Corps has initially met the expectations of the original formation of this corps, and has the strength to confront the world's first-class strong army in Vares, and the only thing lacking at present is actual combat experience, and the upcoming southern operation is an excellent training opportunity.
After the baptism of actual combat, Roland believes that this new army will become stronger
