49-The Number Of Terrifying Enemies

In the next few days, Caroline didn't know whether it was because of shame or what, she always avoided Neron.

Faced with such a situation, Neron can only scratch his head, he is very innocent.

However, he still has a large number of government affairs to deal with, and at the same time he is recruiting a group of troops to prepare for the upcoming war.

Before that, Neron expanded his army to 100,000 people, but Neron has ordered that the industrial machines be fully activated, and weapons and equipment are being produced continuously.

"Our current frontal enemy is the Orc Empire. The Orc Empire's vanguard troops have about 100,000 people, and their follow-up troops, as well as the troops that have not been mobilized in their empire, are conservatively estimated to be more than 2.5 million people."

"And we also have a potential enemy, the Duke of the Golden Lion."

At the military meeting, all officers above the regiment level were present, and Neron sat at the top and listened to Rotis' report.

These officers are basically all knights who were loyal to Neron in the former Kingdom of Rose.

Some of the knights were made into officers by Neron, while the other part formed a smaller special force.

Now Neron has 60 regiments of troops, that is, a total of 120,000 troops, but most of them are recruits who have just been trained for less than a month.

"Is the Duke of Golden Lion a big threat to us?"

Neron asked in a deep voice.

"The threat is not small. Although they are cold-armed troops, the Gustav Alliance Empire is approaching the end, and the Duke of Golden Lion is a high-ranking person among them. He has a group of full-fledged magician legions and flying dragon knights."

"There are 300,000 troops directly under the Duke of Golden Lion, and there are 23 member states of the Gustav Alliance Empire affiliated to the Duke of Golden Lion."

"If the Duke of Golden Lion recruits with all his strength, he should be able to raise an army of no less than two million people, and all of them are regular elites."

Rotis reported.

"In this way, the total strength of our frontal enemies and potential enemies is close to five million."

Neron thought about it.

Five million people, this is a huge number, and now the total population of their Rose Kingdom is only over three million.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but we don't have to worry about the enemy uniting. The orc empire is incompatible with any human kingdom."

Rotis said.

"Our troops are still too small, an army of 120,000, although I am confident that these loyal troops will defeat anyone on the battlefield, but the enemy only needs to send a part of their troops to hold back our main force before they can attack from other places our kingdom."

And the enemy also has a very large number of magicians and air units.

These will undoubtedly cause varying degrees of damage to the Rose army.

From this, it can be seen that facing the army of the Gustav Empire in the future will be a tough battle.

The combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Rose is crushing any army in this era, but the number is too small.

The huge number of enemies can completely divide the troops and detour instead of fighting head-on with Neron army.

In order to prevent the Duke of Golden Lion from stealing the house when Neron was at war with the orc empire, Neron had to expand his army.

"Expand the army. Strictly recruit soldiers from the Nords to ensure their loyalty to the kingdom. The goal this time is to recruit 150,000 new soldiers."

Neron gave the order.

The Nords have a population of three million, and in the case of one out of ten, they can recruit a maximum of 300,000 troops.

However, the class of Nords above the most combative good people is not loyal enough to the Kingdom of Rose, so the recruiting targets of the Kingdom of Rose are ordinary Nord people who are loyal enough.

This is also helpless, although the enemy's combat power is not worth mentioning in Neron opinion, but the number is too large. In order to prevent the enemy from stealing his home, Neron can only expand his army again to defend the defense line in the direction of the Gustav Empire.

In this way, Neron army will be divided into two batches, the southern front and the eastern front.

There are 120,000 troops on the southern front of the Kingdom of Rose, 20,000 veterans and 100,000 recruits, and 150,000 troops on the eastern front of the Kingdom of Rose, all of whom are recruits.

Neron total force will also reach 270,000, of which only a fraction of the number of Rose people, but they are all commanded by officers at all levels.

"Population, population, population!"

Neron rubbed his temples, the small population is still his disadvantage.

The total population of Germany in World War II was more than 80 million. By the end of the war, including the dead and newly recruited recruits, there were as many as 11 million real German soldiers, plus 15 million troops from surrounding dependent countries. .

If Neron was given half of Germany's population, it would not be a problem for Neron to raise an army of 5 million people.

But Neron had to walk step by step, and he had to eat his meals bite by bite.

The Gustav Alliance Empire, the Principality of the Golden Lion.

In a luxurious castle, big knights wearing bright silver armor with bright gold and beautiful lion patterns on the armor are patrolling back and forth with swords in their arms, and their red-backed gold-threaded cloaks are also fluttering in the wind.

In the middle of the castle, a middle-aged man with a stalwart figure, sideburns and golden beard connected together, and golden hair on his head as wild as a real lion was sitting at the dining table. He looked at his family members who were dining with profound He looked at a great knight next to him, and asked, "Is Sir Ruthia not back yet?"

"Go back to the Duke, not yet."

The big knight replied respectfully.

"Ruthia has been gone for three months, is it so difficult to let her bring back the king of a small country?"

There was some impatience in the tone of the Duke of Golden Lion, he said.

He didn't expect that the first time Ruthia was asked to go on a mission, it took Ruthia three months to return.

Bring back the kings of small countries who are about to destroy the country, let them be under their own control and become their own puppets, and then send some troops to restore these small countries. Usually, after the restoration of the country, the kings of these small countries will gradually increase their national strength because of his support. For the Duke of the Golden Lion, having one more vassal state can also increase his strength by one point.

"This... Sir Ruthia must have been delayed on the road. After all, the Kingdom of Rose is far away from our Principality of the Golden Lion."

The great knight thought for a while, and defended Ruthia.

"The Kingdom of Rose is next to the sea. Apart from the Kingdom of Rose, only the Orc Empire is close to the sea. We can't go to sea from the Orc Empire, we can only take the Kingdom of Rose, but now Ruthia has even done such a small thing like this For a long time, you don't have to defend Ruthia, if Ruthia doesn't come back in another month, it will be regarded as a failure of her mission, and I will personally send troops to take the surrounding areas of the Kingdom of Rose."

Obviously, the area of ​​the Kingdom of Rose is very important to the Duke of Golden Lion for some reason because it is close to the sea.

This is related to the success of his always great plan!
