Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 4 Analysis

"Speak." Wufeng's ears perked up when he heard the word Lu Song.

As early as three months ago, Wufeng ordered the intelligence department to intensify the collection of intelligence on the southwestern neighbor Luzon Grand Duchy and its surrounding countries. Although Jin Ning, the new director of the intelligence agency, did not understand Wufeng's intentions, his boss arranged for him He still carried it out firmly, and he also knew that his legendary boss had always acted out of the blue like an antelope's horns, but it was by no means aimless.

The Grand Duchy of Luzon is located in the east of the central mainland, with an area equivalent to about one and a half of the northwest county of the empire. Its population is about 12 million, of which 70% are Andeans. Other relatively large ethnic groups include Coopers. The Andes are mainly distributed in the southern, central and western regions of the country, while the Coopers and Puli are mainly concentrated in the northwest near the countries of the Western Regions , the Gaoyue people live in the mountainous and hilly areas near the Dahengduan Mountains in the east, while the Tang people and some other smaller ethnic groups live in the shallow hilly areas near the Tanghe Empire in the northeast. They were originally descendants of the Tang people in the empire. Over the past hundred years, they have moved to this area one after another.

There are six important cities in the entire Grand Duchy of Luzon. In addition to the capital Robin City, the southern important towns of Giaxi City and Sanbao City, the western important town of Dapine Forest City, the central important town of Manlong City, and the northern important town of Vito. The entire Principality has a total of about 350,000 regular troops. Except for the 50,000 most elite Royal Olive Leaf Corps stationed in the capital, the other 300,000 troops are stationed in the remaining five important cities, especially in the south. It has a garrison of 150,000 troops, accounting for about half of the national army.

The Principality's economy is dominated by agriculture. The south is an important grain-producing area, the east is rich in timber and medicinal materials, and the central part is rich in cash crops such as tobacco, coffee, lacquer, and olives. The grain output is not small. The west is an important sugar and coffee producing area, while the north is relatively economically backward, producing timber, medicinal materials, tobacco, and lacquer, and the grain output is relatively small.

The Grand Duchy of Luzon is one of the four parts formed by the division of the largest empire in the Central Continent, the Great Andean Empire. However, during the more than 100 years of the split of the Andean Empire, other ethnic groups also entered this area one after another, and the ethnic composition became more complicated, but generally speaking, this area is still dominated by Andeans.

The relationship between the Grand Duchy of Luzon and the Kingdom of Pasha and the Principality of Komini is not very good, especially the relationship with the Kingdom of Pasha has continued to be tense. The population of the Kingdom of Pasha is about 15 million, of which Andeans account for about 60%, and a considerable part of the remaining residents are residents who conquered other regions through the war against the south ten years ago. Over the past ten years, the economy of Pasha Kingdom has developed rapidly, especially the rapid development of industry and commerce, and the country's strength has also grown quite fast. It has firmly ranked first among the countries in the central and southern parts of the central mainland.

The Duchy of Komini is located to the west of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. Its area and population are similar to those of the Grand Duchy of Luzon, and its economic development is slightly stronger than that of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. The country has been having border disputes with the Grand Duchy of Luzon, and the relationship has not been very harmonious. Fortunately, both countries can still exercise restraint, and no major incidents have yet occurred.

Wu Feng briefly glanced at the basic information about the Grand Duchy of Luzon and its surrounding countries that Jin Ning presented to him, put it on the coffee table, then raised his head and stared at Jin Ning opposite him, and said : "I want to hear your intelligence department's views on the Grand Duchy of Luzon first."

Taking a breath, Jin Ning calmed down his somewhat nervous mood. He knew that it was time to show his boss the intelligence department, that is, his ability, and cleared his throat: "The Grand Duchy of Luzon is located in our There is a border line of more than 300 kilometers with us in the southwest. The road from Qingyang to Vito City, an important town in the northern part of the Grand Duchy of Luzon, has been repaired in our territory. The road is in good condition, but the condition in Lusong is not good, especially During the summer and autumn rainy seasons, Luzon currently has bad relations with the Kingdom of Pasha and the Principality of Komini, and most of the domestic garrisons are concentrated in the south and west. The relationship with the countries in the northern Western Regions is good, and the relationship with the empire is average."

"The territory of Luzon is high in the north and low in the south. The east and north are dominated by mountains and hills, while the south and midwest are fertile plains. Therefore, the economic center of gravity of the entire country is also in the south and midwest. The eastern and northern economies are far behind, but the eastern and northern resources are quite rich.”

Seeing Wu Feng resting on the chair with his eyes closed, Jin Ning knew that he was listening to his analysis carefully, so he continued to speak up: "The ethnic groups in Luzon are mainly Andean, but they are mainly concentrated in the south. In the east and the north, there are quite a large proportion of ethnic minorities. Although the relationship between the ethnic groups in the territory is not tense, it is not harmonious, especially the relationship between the Gaoyue people who live in the east and the Andean people. "

"Currently the country is governed by Prime Minister Brundtland's party. His son and nephew are in charge of the army. Grand Duke Ben Otto IV is about to come of age, but he is not yet in power, and has no relationship with Brundtland. Harmonious. In terms of military deployment, the 50,000 troops stationed in Robin City, the capital, are the Royal Olive Leaf Legion. The head of the legion, Boris, is Brundtland's confidant, but the deputy head of the legion, Sherlock, who has considerable power, was born in a noble family. They are well-connected, but they are closely related to the royal family. Except for Mandic, who is loyal to the Grand Duke in the northern city of Vito, the other garrisons are all controlled by the Brundtland party.”

"In terms of the overall layout, Luzon's defense should focus on the defense of the south, where its elite troops are concentrated, followed by the west. Since the east is the Great Hengduan Mountains, there are basically no garrisons, while the north Since there has been no war for a long time, it seems to be relatively lax. Only Vito City has a garrison of 50,000 troops. According to the information we have, that troop is incomplete and lacks supplies and training, and its combat effectiveness is relatively poor. I heard that this person is brave and good at field battles."

This information was not unexpected by Wufeng. Ling Tianfang introduced the basic situation of Luzon to Wufeng. It seems that the situation in Luzon has not changed much in the past two years. Much more detailed.

"Are there any other unusual situations?" Wufeng knew that it was impossible for Jin Ning to rush to his house to report these situations.

After hesitating for a while, Jin Ning still said, "There are some suspicious situations, but we haven't verified them yet, but I think these situations may have an impact on adults, so I want to report to you immediately More appropriate."

Reporting intelligence to superiors without verification is a taboo behavior in the intelligence department, but Jin Ning still thinks it should be reported immediately based on various considerations.

As soon as Wu Feng heard this, he immediately became interested. It must be very important information that can make Jin Ning give up the normal work procedures. Even if it is not verified, at least he can understand some basic trends.

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

"After receiving the arrangement from your lord, we immediately strengthened the intelligence work on Luzon and its surrounding Pasha Kingdom, the Principality of Komini, and even the countries in the Western Regions. , so it is difficult to achieve better results in a hurry. However, we have made full use of the original foundation, and at the same time targeted contacts with the families of important ministers in Luzon, the Kingdom of Pasha, and the Principality of Konya. Effective."

"Over the past month or so, our intelligence personnel discovered that Mrs. Ben Autuo III, the biological mother of Grand Duke Ben Autuo IV of Luzon, used various opportunities to communicate with Duke Sherlock, the deputy head of the Royal Olive Leaf Legion, and the important northern town. Marquis Mandic, the defender of Vito City, had secretly contacted them, and it seems that Marquis Hierro, commander of the Principality’s Gendarmerie Command, and Marquis Emilian, the defender of Manlon City, an important city in the central part, also had contact with them.”

"Oh? What was involved in their secret contact? Did Brundtland and the others notice?" Wufeng raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, my lord, we don't have the content of their discussions yet. Their contact is quite secret, and outsiders can't know it at all. As for whether Brundtland is aware of it, our intelligence personnel can't be sure, because recently Brundtland's first wife had just passed away at the time, and his energy seemed to be mainly restrained by the funeral, but Brundtland's methods were also quite vicious. Maybe he was also secretly observing, but he just didn't move for the time being. It's all about sensuality." Jin Ning's face was slightly feverish.

Wufeng frowned, apparently dissatisfied with Jin Ning's answer, but after thinking about it, it is already rare for the intelligence department to achieve such a result in just a few months. After thinking about it, " Didn’t you say that apart from Vito’s defender Mandic, the rest of the army is Brundtland’s confidant? Then what’s going on with this guy named Emilien?”

Jin Ning couldn't help secretly admiring his boss's memory. When he reported to himself just now, he seemed to rest with his eyes closed, but he didn't expect to miss even a small detail. He quickly explained: "This Amy Lian was originally single-handedly promoted by Brundtland, but last year he competed with Brundtland's other confidant, Solon, for the position of the defender of Sanbao City, an important southern town, but failed, and he complained about it ~IndoMTL.com~ Think Brundtland is eccentric.”

"Is this the reason?" Wufeng seemed a little unconvinced.

"According to unreliable rumors, Emilian once pursued Brundtland's niece Luisa, but was stopped by Luisa's brother, the guard of Big Pinewood City in the west. The potential is the same as water and fire." Jin Ning added.

Wufeng shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The room was silent for a while, the golden light of the setting sun quietly enveloped the quiet room, Wufeng stood up, and started pacing in the living room, "Is there any change in the surrounding countries?"

"Well, there are some puzzling situations."

"Let's talk."

"The relationship between the Kingdom of Pasha and the Principality of Komini was not harmonious before, but the intelligence personnel reported that the personnel exchanges between the two countries have recently increased. However, the diplomatic departments of the two sides are still arguing, and it seems that the relationship seems to be closer. I'm nervous."

Wufeng was a little puzzled, but he couldn't understand the current situation, "Are there any abnormalities in the armies of the two countries?"

"Not yet. However, some intelligence personnel reported that the main army of the Pasha Kingdom has switched to their southern region, and now it seems that they are conducting military exercises on their southern border, especially the strengthening of the rivers and lakes. Landing exercises on complex terrain. Their exercises have caused great anxiety in the southern countries and city-states, and now the southern countries are holding meetings to discuss the current situation.”

Jin Ning's words immediately aroused Wufeng's high level of vigilance, to conduct a landing drill? As far as I know, the Pasha Kingdom is not separated by great rivers and rivers from its neighbors in the south, and most of the rivers there run north-south, so it shouldn't cause much hindrance to military operations.

Wufeng felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
