Chapter 38 Preparing for war two years in advance
"Pioneering War!!"
Mr. Holland said it so plainly and easily, Brand certainly understood what it meant.
Knowing that the Pioneering War was coming, Brand was very excited.
Facing Brand's expectant eyes, Mr. Holland nodded affirmatively.
"Whether it's the territory you want, Brand, or the glory you want, Yerson, you will have the opportunity to obtain it in the next pioneering war!" Many years ago, the ancestors
of the Holland family held the It was just the kingdom's Kaya Kingdom Development Order that opened up the Barony of Holland.
After generations of operation and development, the original barony became the current viscounty.
As the second son of a viscount who cannot inherit the title or territory, pioneering war is the best way for Brand to obtain territory.
He can rely on his own strength and efforts to obtain the territory he wants.
The same goes for Yersin. The best way to revitalize the Holland family is to fight.
In war, as long as you have power, glory is at your fingertips.
Speaking of the pioneering war, Yersin was also very excited, but his good military literacy also made him have some doubts: "Based on the
speed of accumulation of the empire's military power in the past, the next pioneering war will take at least ten years. The time is right. Two years should not be enough to complete the accumulation of military strength, right?" "
You are right. Judging from past data, it will indeed take ten years or more." Mr.
Holland The master first affirmed Yersin's judgment on the development speed of domestic military power, and then slowly explained the origin of everything:
"But there are various signs that many nobles in the empire are deliberately speeding up the accumulation of military power. On this point, I have already It was very definitely confirmed by the Mesa family."
"Is it that Uncle Anthony?"
Brand thought of the handsome middle-aged guy who gave him the bracelet.
Mr. Holland nodded:
"Many descendants of the Mesa family serve in the imperial military. Compared with the knight family, which is difficult to judge the specific strength on the surface, the imperial legion composed of ordinary soldiers is undoubtedly a system that can be intuitively understood. The window of the situation."
After a slight pause, Mr. Holland continued:
"According to the Mesa family, in recent times, out of the need to 'maintain the prosperity and stability of the country and surrounding kingdoms,' the commanders of the empire's major legions have The conditions for foreigners to join the army are gradually being relaxed."
Hearing Mr. Holland's subtle reminder, Yersin's eyes brightened:
"When the number of young adults in the country is limited, recruiting soldiers from affiliated kingdoms is indeed a rapid expansion. A method of legion strength!"
Brand had some doubts in his heart regarding what Mr. Holland said about the major nobles accelerating their accumulation of military strength.
He asked:
"Why should the original preparation time of more than ten years be shortened to just two or three years? Are there any benefits to this?"
Faced with Brand's question, Mr. Holland explained:
"According to the original plan, the empire will not start another development war for at least ten years, but a few months ago, a big event happened in the Endless Sea."
Pointing to the location of the Endless Sea, Mr. Holland said The name of an event that seemed familiar to Brand:
"The Year of Tides that only occurs once in hundreds of years."
Mr. Holland continued to explain:
"A few months ago, the Imperial Court Mage Group investigated the tidal phenomenon that occurred in the Endless Sea. Detailed observations and inferences were made.
In about two years, ocean tides will affect the coast of the Endless Sea north of the Kaya Empire, where the sea level will enter a period of rising that lasts a whole year. In about three years, the sea level will The plane will reach its highest peak."
As Mr. Holland's finger pointing at the coastline of the Endless Sea in the north of the empire gradually moved south, Brand understood why the nobles of the empire wanted to increase the speed of accumulation of military power.
Sea levels are rising and the coastline is moving south. Maybe it only takes a war for the Kaya Empire to reach the endless sea!
Mr. Holander said with rare excitement:
"So this is the best opportunity! When there is only a thin line between us and the endless sea, we will not wait for the next time in a few decades. Just this time! We We will push the empire's borders to the endless sea!"
"That's it!"
Brand understood.
"Since there is such a good opportunity, why doesn't His Majesty the Emperor immediately announce preparations for war?" At
this time, Yersin asked a question that he did not understand.
In his opinion, this war is undoubtedly very important to the Kaya Empire.
Since there was news about the Year of the Endless Sea Tides a few months ago, then the entire empire should be mobilized at that time.
Yersin's question made Mr. Holland smile understandingly, and he reminded:
"As you said before, normally it will take at least ten years for the Kaya Empire to complete the accumulation of pioneering wars."
See. Yersen still looked puzzled. Mr. Holland smiled and continued:
"Take our Holander family's training of knights as an example. If we want to train knights in two years, it would normally take ten years to train them. If you are a knight, then you have to take out the knight's secret medicine that your family has inherited."
"You mean?"
Yersin understood somewhat.
Mr. Holander nodded:
"His Majesty the Emperor does not have the face to let major families use their family background. He is waiting and observing. He wants to determine whether the nobles of the empire have the same will as him and whether they are willing to use their family wealth. Family background."
"So whether this pioneering war will be fought does not depend on the will of His Majesty the Emperor, but on the major noble families of the Kaya Empire.
Only the nobles of the entire Kaya Empire are fully promoting this matter, and two years later His Majesty the Emperor will declare war only when the empire truly has the power to start a pioneering war again."
After all, he poured himself a glass of water, and after taking a big sip, Mr. Holland continued:
"Things like a pioneering war, The earlier you prepare, the more advantages you can gain and make more contributions in the war.
Judging from the experience of previous pioneering wars, we should still form a noble pioneering army for this pioneering war."
Bran. De added: "So we should find reliable allies as soon as possible and lock in the composition of the pioneering army in advance?" "
That's right!"
Nodding, Mr. Holland said an astonishing thing:
"You should remember it now, Mesa The legion of the family, the knights of the Holland family, the mages of the Claude and Cecil families, the logistics of the Romine family and the Robert family. This is the force that has been gathered so far. In the pioneering war two years later,
we We will advance and retreat together with our allies!”
Hearing this, Yersen was a little shocked and said:
"Have we already formed alliances with so many families? The strength gathered now can be considered a qualified pioneering army, right? Will we continue to add allies in the future?" "Yeah
. Erson, don't underestimate our opponents."
Speaking of this, Mr. Holland's eyes gradually became sharper:
"In the past few wars, these forces were indeed enough, but this time is different from the past. The Orc Empire is not It will allow us to easily touch the endless sea, and we still need to gather more strength."
