Power and Empire Chapter 367: The competition in the west (6)
In May, the smashed snow came and went quickly. The cold wind was howling a few days ago, and then it was sunny for a few days.
As the temperature warms up, the scorching sun and the air are dull. The fat man was under the guidance of the Jones officer Nabrien who was familiar with the terrain. With a few cavalry guards along the Hulatai Mountains all the way north. Passing over the hilly land in front of Zi, a gray mountain range appeared in front of Fatty’s eyes,
"My lord, there is Fetai Ancient Song Village." Guide Nabrien pointed to the village and said, "Three years ago, I was here. If you want to cross Fetai Wilderness and go to Kujit in the north, this is a must The road. By keeping the ancient song of Fetai, this road can be cut off".
The fat man took a close look at the surrounding terrain and realized that Nabrien was right. This is indeed the best place to guard the pass. The only valley passage makes this place particularly eye-catching
The higher hills are like a giant dragon rising up suddenly, lying in this wilderness, a wide valley and gorge extend in, like a huge gate that divides the mountains into two, and the gorge is faintly on both sides. You can see the shadow of the village, and dozens of simple wooden landlords are leaning against it to the west.
"En, yes!" The fat man nodded in satisfaction, and said to the recorder beside him, "You will record all the areas we have just passed through, and immediately hand over the records to the business alliance led by Jones. Ask them to do Fortunately, preparations for setting up a business station here"
Wang returned to the camp, and the fat man saw Oryamgen, the legionary staff member who had been transferred from Zivadin. Walking over with a drawn paper in his hand, he respectfully bowed out "Grand Duke! This is our western combat training manual made based on the Hutak landform!"
"Oh, so fast?" The fat man's face was slightly flustered, and he took the scroll from Olemugen, looked at it carefully, and after asking a few questions about the differences in landforms and corresponding methods, he used his own tattoos. Zhang Jie is stamped with his own seal
This is the upcoming Western Operation Manual.
The landform of the Hutak area has the characteristics common to the west. The terrain is flat and long, and the forests and hills are mixed, like a fishing net with cracks everywhere. This complex western terrain has always been accustomed to the plains and For the Samor army fighting in the mountain castle, this is a new problem that has to be faced.
The fat man sent people to make the entire landscape of Hutak territory into a standard map, and download the squadrons that were training on the northern border of Jones territory, and asked the Legion Department to combine the terrain with the experience of the local mercenaries. Prepared a copy of the essentials for combat in the Western Wasteland, and after signing it by himself, the squadrons will also be sent to adapt to the upcoming Western War with North Stian.
The North Army's sixth and eighth flag regiments, and the three flag regiments of the Mountain Army have reached the border. Together with the six thousand cavalry guards who occupied Hutarencu, the total force of Samor gathered this time was over 10,000.
In his letter to Mao Mo Dyne, Fatty promised to hand over this important area to the Mao Mo family for processing. In fact, it is out of future grand strategy considerations,
Samoor’s main enemy is North Stian. There is no need to waste his precious forces in the west. The fat man considers sending troops to this unfamiliar land and faces counterattacks that may come from the west at any time.
It's better to find out the terrain and then deliver it back. It can sell the Maomo family's face to eliminate the West's wariness against Samor, and it can also gain the initiative in the future battles in the West.
In the letter that Fatty wrote to Mao Modain, Fatty first expressed his respect for Mao Modain and stated that he did not have a holy heart for the West.
The reason why Hutak dispatched troops was solely for Jones’s leadership and proposed to Mao Modain, the ruler of the West. In order to promote contact and development between the two sides and avoid similar misunderstandings again, Samor is willing to open himself to the West. All territory levels,
As long as the goods are shipped from the Western Union, they can enjoy the same duty-free treatment as the commercial union. Naturally, the goods of commercial alliances should also be exempt from customs in the west
Fatty believes that the Maomo family will agree to this, not only because of Samor’s strength, but because of his own interests, even if the Maomo family wants to stop, the short-sighted western lords behind him will attend the meeting. Urge the Maomo family to agree to this request that can bring them benefits
This is the first step for the fat man to launch an economic war. The typical bright-sounding temptation hides a deadly edge in the bright gold coin.
The fat man has chosen a location. Fetai Ancient Song Village!
This desolate little village will soon become the most prosperous town in the west, and become the stronghold of Samor’s penetration of the western economy. This time the fat guy is going to bring in Lidarcus, who is good at housekeeping,
Let this guy who dreams of building great military merits use what he is best at here. Adjust the quality of the animal, sit in the Fei Tai ancient song. Assist yourself in commanding this invisible war.
In this land-based era, no one cares about the invisible killer of economic war.
As long as the business network in the west is opened up, the business alliance's losses and products can be used to jump over the ten places in the north, which are tightly blocked by the sun, and directly transform into the grassland in front of the veins. Because of the decline of Kyoto, the northern trade route that lost a lot of money will become a live chess game
This is the most important part of the fat man’s plan. The fat man has already done two calculations and is ready to fight in the west and north at the same time. Of course, one can be seen and the other is silent. War does not necessarily have to be. With a war knife
After investigating for a period of time, the fat man felt that the west was remote and closed, after decades of development. Has formed its own small economic system. But compared with Samorda’s business system, the weak economic cycle in the west is simply the difference between weak babies and adults.
You only need a light push to make it stand up again! Now, as long as I use commercial hands to tear open the hard shell of the western closure and let the commercial tentacles of Commercial Alliance reach in, I can completely control this land in my own hands
The economic pillar of the west is the crude fur industry, and the foundation of the western military is the culture of mercenaries. Fatty is already ready to mobilize the power of the entire business alliance to open up the northern business line within a month, fully penetrate all corners of the western economy, and fight an economic war
This kind of monotonous small economy in the west is impossible to contend with the highly permeable business alliances. Stimulated by preferential conditions, a large number of expensive luxury products from Samor will quickly occupy the lives of the western aristocrats and hold banquets! Get beauties! Show off treasures! This is a common problem of all nobles. These all require a lot of gold coins, and this is the biggest short rib in the west,
Soon, they will discover the rudimentary small economy in their territory, it is impossible to support their luxurious life, their wallets will quickly dry up, and the only way out is to cooperate with business alliances. Either form a caravan, become a member of a business alliance, and live a prosperous life from then on, and go bankrupt. Persevere in the land of poverty and addiction and fall into trouble,
The nobles are nobles because they are a group of very realistic people. The unrealistic ones have been eliminated! It won’t be long before the magic hand of the economy will naturally bind these western lords to Samor’s chariot and make Samor’s interests the most important in their hearts
The second condition put forward by Fatty in the letter is that he hopes that the Maamo family will allow the caravan to hire western mercenaries. This is for the western mercenary culture.
Fatty believes that with the opening of the Western Trade Road, a large number of caravans will be like cats that smell fishy. Gathering to the west, there is a natural frozen soil layer, the terrain is flat and wide, and the geographical conditions are extremely beneficial. I can even save roads,
According to the total, the business alliance will mobilize at least 10,000 businessmen to come to the west. Driven by Samor’s preferential western policy, the number may be even greater
A large number of western mercenaries are exactly what these caravans need. At that time, the mercenaries will become the guards of the caravans, and the lord will become a community of interests of Samor. Is the west far away from the west of Samor?
The fat man is calculating his wishful thinking here, but the main hall of Saran City is bleak
Hu Keqili walked into the hall wearing a fine armor engraved with white thorns. The heavy footsteps stepped on the hard floor of the hall, making a low muffled noise,
A heavy nanmu long table with a length of more than 20 meters occupies almost the center of the hall. Hundreds of nobles wearing various coats of arms are like stars and moons, with an old man in gorgeous costume as the center line on both sides. And sit,
Seeing myself coming in, more than a hundred dark heads turned around, countless pairs of eyes looked at me with various meanings~IndoMTL.com~ It is with the courage of Hu Keqili, also in my heart. I couldn't help but tremble, "Damn it! Did I accidentally break into a large meeting of the Western Lords?. Hu Keqili's mouth curled slightly,
Hu Keqili recognized Mao Mo Dain at a glance. Such a sharp-eyed old man is rarely seen. Moreover, sitting on the main chair in the hall, even a fool knows that this is the master of the west, Mao Mo. The patriarch of the family
"Hello! Honorable Maomadain. On behalf of the Lord Regent of the Kingdom, I would like to express my sincere regards to you!" Hu Keqili put his palm on his chest and made a knightly ceremony. "The Lord Regent is too exasperating. That's it!" Mao Mo Dain waved his hand to Hu Keqili. It’s a return,
"I don’t know if Maomao has any reply to the Lord Regent’s proposal? Hu Keqili raised his head and stared at Maomadain without timidity, a blast of murderous air formed during the years of battle. The coming, attracted many lords, and many older ones frowned.
This Jonster made the blood on his body too strong! It’s thick like a wave of never-changing gloom floating in the air. Without killing hundreds of people on the battlefield, one cannot have such a murderous aura
"Ahem! I don't know what's going on with the envoy Jonst coming to Saran City this time? Talk to me if you have anything!" Mao Moravente coughed twice next to him,
