Chapter 567 Guardian Army and Pig Teammates
"What kind of person do you think he is?" Crowd asked, looking at the back of Earl Murides J. Kleist, head of the Hicks Falklin Regiment, riding away on a horse. .
Colonel Bokal cleaned up the agreements and documents signed on the table, and replied casually: "It doesn't matter what kind of person he is. The important thing is that he has ambition and is willing to cooperate with us. This is enough. As long as we are fighting Being able to crush his army, there is no need to worry about any trouble.
In the current situation, if he wants to monopolize one side, we can't do without our support and help. Anyway, he knew very well that we would always leave. He wanted to make his own voice in the Hicks Kingdom after the war, so he must expand his strength. Regardless of whether he wants to establish his own country in the future, he must now rely on us to clear the obstacles in front of him ... "
Count Murides Jay Crest, a cautious person in the Hicks army. The chief of the legion that can be one of the eight standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom is mainly because his family has always stood with the Hicks royal family and is a member of the royal family. Earl Murides J. Kleist graduated from King Hicks Military Academy from a young age. His military career went smoothly and he was promoted step by step. He became a major general at the age of 45.
In the military world of the Hicks Kingdom, Earl Murides J. Kleist was called the lucky boy. This was related to the fact that he had served as the captain of the guard for eight years with McKid III. Letter weight. It is rumored that Earl Murides J. Kleist is closely related to several princesses, which is one of the reasons why he eventually left the post of guard.
In terms of military talent, Earl Murides J. Kleist performed very mediocrely. Whether it is sand table drills or military exercises, his performance is neither outstanding nor inferior, so many colleagues have been against McKidd. He disapproved of his appointment as the commander of the Falklin Regiment, but McKid III considered him loyal and promulgated the appointment.
But it now seems that it is a mistake to think that Count Murides J. Kleist has always been loyal to the Hicks royal family, because the Faklin Army under his command is one of the eight standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom. The only legion that surrendered its arms and surrendered. Although the same is true of the Dakhli Army, the officers and men of the Dakhli Army are all from the former Kingdom of Breot, and their return to their country is forgiven, but the performance of the Fakhlin Army is disappointing ... .
Even though Earl Murides J. Kleist believed that an isolated army of more than 60,000 troops in the Falklin Legion was simply incapable of defending against the Thunder Legion's attack, the soldiers had to lay down their weapons in order to preserve the lives of the Legion generals. But their surrender without a fight did put a lot of pressure on Count Mourides Jay Crest. This is sometimes the case when the enemies and friendly forces are completely different. The Hicks people think that the Falklin Legion is a coward, while senior officers at Claude and Frontline Command think Muredes-Jace. Earl Teut is a smart man ...
The meeting between Claude and the Earl of Muredes J. Kleist was very pleasant. Both sides knew what to say and what to say. It was not until the two parties entered into substantive talks after the welcome banquet that the atmosphere became serious. The Earl of Muredes Jay Crest is an understanding person. He knows exactly what he wants, what he can get, what the Autonomous Territory can provide him, and what he hopes to do ...
After a day and night of talks, Claude signed the "Protection of Peace for the Country" with the Count Murides J. Kleist on behalf of the autonomous region. According to the requirements of the agreement, the Falklin Legion will be renamed the National Guard and take over the five southern coastal counties that have been looted by the Thunder Legion. At the same time, the Thunder Corps will attack three other central local counties, and three months later, these three local counties, along with Dartmouth and Skvia County, will be transferred to the defending army.
In the future, the five coastal counties in the south and the five central counties became the basic sites of the national defense forces, and they were also regarded as the first warlord forces cultivated by the Overseas Autonomous Command in the Hicks Kingdom. Both Claude and Earl Muredes J. Kleist expressed satisfaction with the agreement, which was a win-win situation. Claude is satisfied that he can throw the ransacked local counties into the jurisdiction of the National Guard, and no longer need to waste his troops, or worry about what to happen in these local counties to fight against the tide from the invaders of the autonomous territory, social order and law and order The situation is naturally the responsibility of the National Guard ...
Earl Murides J. Kleist is also very satisfied. Unlike the noble coalitions that have no bottom line, the two army corps under the autonomous region are sacked and ransacked by local officials and nobles from various territories. And the wealthy businessmen's family, it is innocent to the ordinary urban residents, unless it is resistance or armed resistance.
After the Guardian Army took over these local counties, it could collect taxes from the local people as military expenditure. And because the upper classes in these places were swept away by the autonomous region, then the administration of Earl Murides J. Kleist will have no restraint, just like he can paint any color on a white .
There are several reasons for the three central local counties where Count Murides Jay Crest requested an attack by the Dominion. The first is that most of the Falklin Army officers and soldiers come from these three local counties. They are poor farmers and leaders. The second is that one of the local counties is one of the military production areas of the Hicks Kingdom. Earl Murides J. Kleist hopes to master this local county to provide arms support for his defending army.
The third reason is clear to everyone, and there are several territories in the three local counties that are more powerful than the Earl of Muredes Jay Crest. The Earl of Muredes J. Kleist needed to kill someone with a knife, let the autonomous region clear the power of these nobles, and then let the defending army appear in the name of the savior in the name of the saviour in the three places. before......
Claude wouldn't mind Count Murides J. Kleist coming out to raid these three local counties, anyway, the territories of the territories of the three local counties organized local defense forces, claiming what counterattack Wang Jing Saint-Hiprian The slogan of expelling overseas invaders shouted loudly. Before, the Thunder Corps was stationed separately in the five counties along the south coast, and the Storm Corps guarded the Wangjing area. Now that the National Guard has taken over the plate, the Thunder Corps can counterattack and count, and they can make a big deal in these three central local counties.
Colonel Bokal also wanted the defending army to attack the three central counties on his own, but Claude knew that the defending army was not useful yet. After the surrender, the officers and men of the Falklin Legion were confused about the future, and they had to attack their hometown on the spot. At present, the change of the Falklin Army to protect the national army can only maintain the local order. To change it requires more stimulation. Only for its own interests can it have a strong combat effectiveness.
Earl Murides Jay Crest hoped that the Autonomous Territory would sweep over these three central local counties before transferring them to him, so that he could use the fields of the territory's nobles to assign to the soldiers of the National Guard. He believes that only after doing so will the defending army have combat effectiveness, obey the orders of his leader, and be willing to fight for his own property.
Claude admired Earl Murides J. Kleist for his ideas and thought he was doing the right thing. In addition to the forthcoming behavior of dividing fields and territories to gather the hearts of the army, the duty of the National Guard is to restore the agricultural, animal husbandry, fishery fishing production and stabilize the normal social order in the five counties along the southern coast. Effectively manage the three seaport cities, conduct normal business transactions with the Wangjing area under the jurisdiction of the Dominion, and suppress the resistance elements against the Dominion.
Claude breathed a sigh of relief after sending Earl Murides Jay Crest. When the Falklin Legion's adapted National Guard arrives in the five counties on the south coast, the Thunder Corps stationed there can be transferred back to become a mobile combat force. Crowd originally wanted to abandon the five coastal counties in the south, like Dartmouth County was washed away.
However, it turned out that it is not enough to stay. The five counties in the south are located in the coastal zone and have three seaport cities. If left unattended, it will cause a lot of trouble to the ocean transport fleet of the autonomous region. Although the Thunder Corps cleared the upper classes such as local officials and territories of the five counties in the south, as well as those of the wealthy businessmen, the residents of the cities and towns below were still easily instigated by interested people to organize and attack the occupying forces everywhere.
In addition, after the three counties of the Manori Plain returned to the Kingdom of Breot, the three mountain legions of the Kingdom of Breot also had to return to their kingdom and could not stay in the Kingdom of Hicks to assist the autonomous territory in defending the local county.
There are two main reasons. One is the trouble that the aristocratic coalitions are looking for in the autonomous region. They are used to burning and robbing in the occupied western counties. They send their loot to the Naseli area to pass through Breo. In the Kingdom of the U.S., he brought his habit to him and ransacked and burned down a village and town along the way, causing hundreds of casualties ...
King Avitelle I of the Kingdom of Breot was furious, and all senior officers at the frontline command of the autonomous region were furious. What is a pig teammate, now it is clear. Fortunately, the Red Dragon Duke and Griffin Marquis of the noble coalition were sober-minded and directly ordered the capture of the thousand perpetrators. They all beheaded and publicized their apologies to the Kingdom of Breaux, and finally stopped the Kingdom of Breaux. The anger of the people.
The team was led by a viscount and two barons, who were so drunk because they were drunk and let go of themselves. Well, the kings directly ordered the deprivation of the three noble titles. The three beheaded without saying that even their families were sentenced to ten years of hard labor. All the property was used to compensate the loss of the Kingdom of Breot. Only then did the matter end.
However, because of this, Avitre I felt deeply that the domestic defense force was insufficient. The Kingdom of Bryot has only four standing corps. Now three mountain corps have been dispatched to assist the autonomous region to attack the Hicks empire. The battle in Skvia County has killed and wounded nearly a legion of officers and men. Although this is a manifestation of their poor combat effectiveness, it also shows that the Kingdom of Breoit is really sincere and alliance with the autonomous region.
Therefore, Claude continued to arrange only the army of the Kingdom of Breot to perform some auxiliary tasks, and to take care of the captives and escorting the logistics materials. Even if Avitele I persuaded the Dakhli Army to return to its native country, it also needed the Dakhli Army to be stationed in the three counties of the Manori Plain. Now that such a thing happened in the country, Avitre I had to return all the troops here. He needs troops to guard this avenue that leads directly from the Kingdom of Menbamac to the Kingdom of Hicks in order to avoid such an accident again.
Another reason was that Claude promised to merge the four local counties in the east of the Hicks Kingdom close to the Kingdom of Breot to the Kingdom of Breot. Therefore, Avitre I needed to return to the country to recruit recruits to form garrison suppression troops. After the Thunder Corps has executed the three local counties in the central part of the Raiders to be transferred to the defending army, they must move to the border of the Kingdom of Breot to attack the four eastern local counties. In short, it is non-stop busy ...
After Claude gave General Berklin and General Diavid an offensive order in the central three counties, he ordered the headquarters of the Thunder Corps to go to Wangjing for the rest of Hiprian. Waiting for Wang Jing, I just heard General Albert's complaining. The main idea was that he captured Wang Jing Saint-Hiprian and Wang Jing area, but instead trapped the storm corps in this area, unable to attack the city like the Thunder Army. .....
Claude comforted him, and after the Thunder Corps captured the four eastern counties in the east, and after completing the agreement reached with Avitre I, the Thunder Corps returned to Wang Jing Saint Hiprian. In place of the Storm Corps in Wangjing area, General Abbott will naturally be able to lead the Storm Corps to rid the local counties that have not been attacked.
The two were very happy. Colonel Bokal came in and gave Claude a secret letter. Claude looked somber after seeing the secret letter.
"What's wrong? What's the bad news?" General Albert asked.
Claude handed him the secret letter: "You see, the aristocratic coalition actually sold the captives they caught to the slave traders ..."
Many countries in the Faroe continent are still implementing the slavery system, especially the seven countries in the central region are all slavery countries. From the topographical point of view, the central and western regions of the mainland are all mountainous and plateau regions, and they are also regarded as wild places by the people of the eastern, southern and northern regions of the continent. The seven countries in the central region are all plateau and mountain countries. There are documents about these seven countries. The folk customs there are very barbaric and feudal. The slave system is implemented, but they are rich in gold and silver, so they have money to buy slaves.
"Isn't it that these seven central countries like to fight each other to catch slaves, why are slave traders coming to the Hicks Kingdom?" General Albert asked curiously.
Colonel Bokal replied: "Slav traffickers from the central region generally buy war prisoners wherever they go. They do n’t like to trade with them and they abolished slavery. They generally do n’t go. In order to avoid losing their property. King Sterling IX once executed several slave owners and released all their slaves, so slave dealers were rarely seen in the eastern part of the mainland.
The Hicks Kingdom has always been associated with slave traders in the central region. Although the Hicks Kingdom also abolished hard work, serfs and leaders were actually slaves in another sense. Some territory nobles also secretly trade with slave traders, buying or selling some slaves from slave traders. So it was easy for the aristocratic coalition to get in touch with the slave traders.
In addition, these slave traders from the central region also have many requirements to buy slaves. The price of craftsmen is the highest. Whether it is a jeweller or a gunsmith, only a skilled person will let them look at each other and be willing to pay a high price. The degree of civilization and technological development in the central region has always been relatively backward, so these artisan slaves can be well treated ...
Followed by strong soldiers and military captives, those slave owners have slave army, and family wars will occur between each other. Then there are the beauties, and finally the general youth, who can go to farming and mining and serve as production labor. This time the aristocratic coalition forces did too much. They almost sold all the three occupied local counties, and the rest were old, weak, and sick. "
General Ablont was a bit dismissive: "It doesn't matter to us, anyway, it's all Hicks. It's a time of war, and we can only express regret for this happening, after all, it was a good work of the noble coalition , We and them are just alliances, we can't restrain them from doing such a mean thing, simply, we can't stop them ... "
"But they are embarrassed by what they do. No matter what, this is the war led by our autonomous region. Without us, the aristocratic coalition will not be able to touch the side of the Kingdom of Hicks. What they do now will affect our autonomous region. The reputation of the military region, maybe other countries will think that we are behind the noble coalition forces to do so ... "Colonel Bokal was very angry, even if he always regarded himself as a businessman, he could not be used to treating people like this The slave trade of goods is a matter of concept.
"I will write to remind the Duke of the Red Dragon and the Marquis of the Griffin. The consequence of their doing so is that they will struggle in the ten counties in the west. Enemies will be everywhere, and the Hicks will fight to the death. In the eyes of the Duke of Red Dragons and the Marquis of Griffins, can't you understand the truth? Why indulge his slave trade like this ... "Crowd said blackly.
"Don't put too much burden and pressure on yourself." General Albert smiled. "In fact, this is a good way to deal with those prisoners. If you can sell those hundreds of thousands of prisoners to slave traders, We can also make it easier for the Storm Corps. Unfortunately, we ca n’t do that. The moral bottom line of being a soldier does not allow us to be associated with slave traders. This is really a pity ... "
