Chapter 666 (1/2)

Shifu and Cheng Dabei did not follow Yang Dingtian into the southwest mainland. They had to rush to Zhongzhou and Dongzhou because there were so many affairs to deal with.

Although the headquarters of the bright Council is in Xijing, the core of the whole chaotic world is still in Zhongzhou.

In particular, the most important thing now is the consolidation of Zhongzhou.

On the way, Dongfang niemie briefly talked about the results of the rectification in the past two months.

It's relatively easy because it's easy before it's difficult.

The division of defense areas has come to an end. The establishment of the Zhongzhou bright assembly Corps is just about to begin.

This is the most difficult part at present, which has involved all aspects of major interests. Unlike Xizhou, when the defense areas were divided, there was basically no suppression of the princes. We should try our best to keep the same to the numerous vassal forces.

Because, in Zhongzhou, Guangming Council does not have absolute power, so it can't be as empty as Xizhou.

To be able to divide the defense areas and classify the scope of power is very important. It is totally impossible to purge the princes. Even the land policy can hardly be changed.

Zhongzhou is too complex. Its area is three times that of Xizhou, its population is ten times, and its military strength is dozens of times.

Next, the establishment of the Zhongzhou legion of the Guangming Council will really hurt some forces. Because this is a naked attempt to gain military power.

It is necessary for dozens of big forces and hundreds of small forces in China to hand over their most elite troops and reorganize them, such as the Zhongzhou Legion.

Moreover, the military command power is completely vested in the headquarters of the Guangming assembly.

Although there is no rebellion yet, it has been surging in secret.

Of course, the better place for more than a month ago was that there were no Wu Youming and Lingxi. Although wulingzi is powerful, he basically doesn't interfere in the affairs of the state. So even if these princes wanted to make trouble, they were leaderless.

However, such a good day is about to come to an end. Because Wu Youming went back again, and he went back with anger.

There is no doubt that he will not sit by and watch the completion of the military reorganization.

Once the military reorganization is completed, Zhongzhou will really fall into the hands of yangdingtian and Guangming Council. At that time, even if Wu Youming won Yang Dingtian's duel, it's useless to let him be the leader of the hermit sect. No one in the light Council will listen to him.

Therefore, he will try his best to stop it.

The total number of Xizhou Legion and elite legion of Guangming Council was about 2 million. Later, there were more than 300000 or 400000. Of course, most of them were artillery and navy.

The military strength of Zhongzhou is dozens of times that of Xizhou.

Therefore, in order to fully grasp Zhongzhou, the number of Zhongzhou legions of the Guangming Council to be set up must not be small. If they are small, they will not be able to control these princes. But it can't be more. If it is more, it will exceed the bottom line of the vassals.

Therefore, after repeated deliberation and discussion, the general headquarters of the Guangming Assembly decided to set the front-line army of the Zhongzhou Legion at about 5 million, which is only twice that of the first-line army of the Xizhou Legion. It's only one tenth of the military strength of Zhongzhou.

It's true that the total number of forces in the whole continent, big and small, together with the armed forces, is 40 million to 50 million.

Although it is not an exaggeration to support more than one billion people and 45 million armed forces, this figure seems to be extremely insane in any era of the earth.

However, if converted into a proportion, it is not an exaggeration. Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, when there were only tens of millions of people, the Imperial Army, the Xiang army, the border army and so on were far more than one million.

In modern China, with a population of more than one billion, there are only a few million armed forces, such as the armed forces, armed police and fire fighting forces. That's because in the era of hot weapons, the number of troops is no longer important. However, in the age of cold weapons, the number is still the king.

Five million Zhongzhou legions, basically one out of ten of each vassal, is not a pain in the flesh, and the rebound force will be much smaller.

The five million Zhongzhou legions, after being strongly armed, can still intimidate all the princes as long as the whole Zhongzhou does not revolt.

What's more, this is just the first-line Corps in Zhongzhou. After the five million elite troops are reorganized, the second-line Corps will be reorganized immediately. He cut the meat slowly, gradually bled the vassals of Zhongzhou, and finally took control of the whole Zhongzhou.

We can't be in a hurry, but we can't be in a hurry.

At least, the five million Zhongzhou legion of Guangming Council must be reorganized and completed within four months, because it was just the time for Yang Dingtian and Wu Youming to duel.

No matter win or lose, war will break out basically!Within three years, the rectification of Zhongzhou will be completed!

By that time, at least eight million troops will have to be reorganized in Xizhou, and about 20 million regular troops will have to be reorganized in Zhongzhou.

Because once the war of annihilation starts.

Tens of millions of Maori barbarians will become the extermination corps, and there are many fighting races in the grassland, but all the people are soldiers. When a real war broke out, tens of millions of troops burst out. If Yang Dingtian can seize the throne of the snake Empire at that time, it's OK. If he can't, all of these will become an army of extermination.

Therefore, the three continents of China, the West and the east add up to more than 30 million troops.

But it's better than the rush of nearly 200 years ago. In the last war of annihilation, the number of legions of Tiandao League did not exceed 10 million, and the battlefield was completely defeated. If it had not been for the nihility that destroyed Wan Wentian, the world would have been over.

……

Two days later, the three men flew into the southwest.

The last time Yang Dingtian took a close look at the southwest mainland, he still knew that Mo Zhi was pregnant. After defeating Zhu Qingzhu, he went to visit the snow tribe. It's half a year since now, so the southwest mainland has become more prosperous.

Even thousands of miles away from the southwest mainland, we can see the fleet of the bright Council and the air patrol cavalry.

More than a year has passed since the big naval battle with Zhu Qingzhu. Now the naval power of the bright Council has expanded by many times.

Southwest fleet alone, there are 800 submarines! Of course, the manufacturing speed of large warships is not so fast. In more than a year, most of the large warships are still in nearly ten large shipyards and have not been officially launched.

However, there are many large ships in Zhongzhou, so the Guangming Council purchased half of them and collected half of them, and got 2000 large ships, which were temporarily converted into various gunboats and strong crossbow fast ships. Therefore, there are 800 large and small ships assigned to the southwest fleet, with a tonnage of more than one million.

Of course, these ships are only in training. When the new ships are launched into the sea, they will immediately retreat to the second line and become sea patrol ships in a defense area.

Almost all the navies are waiting for new ships.

Because the new ship is totally different. Brand new magic crystal power, brand new design, the hull is also covered with armor.

This kind of warship, no matter in tonnage, speed or firmness, is far from comparable to the old warships.

The wealth of Xizhou and Zhongzhou is soaring, so the Guangming Council is also soaring. There is no shortage of metal, wood and manpower.

So there are 2000 large ships built at the same time.
