Chapter 216 The world is moving
The establishment of the Gibraltar front shocked the whole world.
At the beginning of the war, no one thought Carthage could withstand the powerful offensive of the Romanian Empire. Except for Keral, Keral was the only guy who had already seen the weakness of the Romanian Empire at the beginning.
But it was such a colonial country, Carthage, which was almost equivalent to a barbaric land, but with its outstanding leadership, strong resilience and united strength, it resisted Romania's attack. Now Romania has completely withdrawn from the African region, which is equivalent to acquiesce to Carthage!
This is simply a great victory!
Everyone saw the weakness of Romania, and everyone was waiting for the first person to go up and take a bite, but no one could underestimate the five legions in Romania, southeast, west, north, and middle, especially the Royal Legion. No one could underestimate them!
But a new confrontation has emerged. Even if everyone is eyeing Romania, the Romans who have no war on the Western Front are not anyone, at least they can be provoked by a single person!
Without Carthage to restrain most of the Romans' attention, in fact, the entire continent was stared at by the Roman Empire because of the strength of Rome. What's the difference? People have the intention to kill tigers, and tigers have the intention to hurt people.
This is enough.
Let's see who can't help but start the first strike.
But Keral keenly seized the opportunity inside.
"It is precisely because the war in any place has been calm that the world will stop war for at least two years." Keral explained on the podium: "So can someone analyze why even Romania can no longer easily start the war once the truce is in war?"
"..." One hand was raised.
"Oh, let's talk about Aaron and Hughes, young man." Keral looked at the boy who was promoted to a flag bearer because of dozens of beheadings and directly promoted to a clerk, and had outstanding performance on several battlefields. He was a young man, but he was about the same height as Keral. He had long black hair and had a title at a young age, and was very popular in the royal city.
Aaron Hughes looked a little shy, because being named by Keral in front of so many seniors was a very shameful and shy thing. Of course, when talking about serious things, he spoke slightly shyly: "I think it was a balanced one before. Macedonia expanded to the east. The two countries of Silver and Uma were constantly attacking, Rome and Carthage were endless, and we were fighting with the pirates, as if the whole world was fighting."
Speaking of this, he saw Keral nodding slightly and immediately became confident and spoke a lot fluently: "But when another balance arises: Macedonia returns here, and the strength of Persia and Egypt rises sharply. The war between the Romanian Empire and Carthage came to an end. The Kingdom of Silver and Uma suspended the war, and we annihilated the pirates."
"This is a new balance! This is a new balance. If someone breaks the balance, then others will inevitably find their weaknesses and exploit them and attack them. This danger of starting a war on both ends is unbearable."
Aaron Ikhus looked at Keral with his eyes and tried to get Keral's approval. The smile on the corner of Keral's mouth continued to expand, and then he patted gently with his palms and applauded him.
Then there was the applause spreading like a tide. Because of the first time I experienced this, Aaron Hughes's face flushed. Not only was it shy, but also because of his deep pride and excitement, his face flushed and excited. After the applause calmed down, he also slowly looked at Keral, where there was truth and answer.
"It's very good, really good." Keral shook his head and smiled softly and exclaimed: "You can understand the situation in Europe so clearly. I can guarantee that Aaron, you will become an excellent general in the future."
The so-called general refers to the only twelve round table knights now, no, only eleven. After Keral became the prince, Grand Duke Andre braked and removed all his positions, formed a cabinet with the other three Grand Dukes, and also served as teachers in the Military Academy.
Keral's move was so wonderful. Although he had a round table knight, he completely let go of Grand Duke Andre and used the four Grand Dukes at the same time. His and Artoria's time and efficiency in governing were greatly improved.
A wonderful chess move.
"But!" Kailar gently shook the instruction stick in his hand: "If you want to become a marshal, or even a pillar of the army, your vision is not wide enough! It is not broad enough!"
Keral used his pen to draw traces on the map, representing military movements
"Look, after a year and a half after Romania and Carthage fought," Keral placed a data on Romanian territory: "When 6,000 tons of wheat were harvested every year, when the people consumed 60% of their lives and the nobles consumed 30%, only ten percent left for the army to use for combat, but this ten percent alone would not be able to support the 160,000 Western Front Legion fighting for such a long time. In other words, Romania's previous wars have been calling the database to store the warehouse."
"They have no food!" Keral gave a definition to Romania in his words, which is also the reason why he chose to open a business with Romania. The slave trade is just the first step, circulating Kamelo copper coins and promoting commercial exchanges between the two countries. This is the second step, the third step, and the fourth step, and you will naturally understand it when the time comes.
"Look at Macedonia." Kelar pointed his teaching stick in Central Asia: "In the past two years when Alexander, the king of Macedonia, his army went from 30,000 people to attack the rebellious Athens, and then became bigger and bigger like a snowball. He joined him and obtained a large amount of material in Athens, and his army also expanded to 50,000. When he captured Turkey, he had already started to roll and turned into 100,000 people. When Anxu and Persia surrendered at his feet, he had already 200,000 people. Even Egypt surrendered. When 300,000 people gathered by him, how much food did he consume every month every year?" This was an unsolvable arithmetic problem. Kelar was just letting them understand how much military force Macedonia had and how much food it had to consume.
"Macedonia can't afford it!" Keral concluded: "They came back and looked like they were threatening the whole of Europe, but in fact they were just dressing up and repairing, waiting for a good harvest."
"And one thing more noteworthy is that the source of Macedonian soldiers is very complex, which is what Alexander is concerned about. You must know that the complex soldiers' tactics and cooperation are chaotic. For the army, chaos is equivalent to destruction. I can guarantee that the first step for Alexander to return to Macedonia is to appease the people's strength of other races under his command. As for a safe and stable rear, then the next step is to disband the army, just like His Majesty did when he came to power." Keral's words made everyone laugh.
Everyone knows that it is just a polite word. The one who really disarmament and reorganization of the knight was the boy who was only twenty-first birthday in front of him. Almost two years have passed. At that time, the anxiety about military reform and the major adjustments of the knights had long disappeared, and only his infinite longing for the future.
The knights are divided into very clear: ten people are a small team, fifty people are organized into a squadron, then a hundred people are a brigade, two hundred people are a flag bearer, five hundred people are a trumpeter, and each is equipped with a deputy level.
Since Keral could not change the knights' habit of fighting ahead, he could only change the way of war.
This is already a very remarkable reform. At least this set of rules can easily allow the dispersed knights to find their superiors and gather immediately.
Facts have proved that in the war with the pirate alliance, the 100,000 army and the 300,000 army of the opponent were still able to win, and even win easily. Even if it was broken, it was easy to find more advanced officers to play under their command. This led to the fact that despite the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, there were very few real injuries except for the exhausted horses and the knights who fell off the horse.
It’s scary to think about it. Hundreds of thousands of knights who have seen more than 200,000 people in several battles and trained since childhood...
Terrible! Terrible!
Keral's reform was very useful, and calmed the anxiety of the Knights before. In fact, Keral's reform led to more positions, and many of the Knights were promoted. This is the biggest reason why Keral did not cause too much trouble!
Keral dispersed the rights of senior knights and increased the rights of middle and lower knights, which led to the benefit of most people! Keral's wisdom always puts himself on the side of most people.
"And Uma Ancient Kingdom," Kailar paused, because he produced Uruk gold and was in opposition to the Kingdom of Silver. Many people like to call him the Kingdom of Gold. "From the recent tyrant of Uma Ancient Kingdom, Gilgamesh's actions, you can talk about one or two of them." Kailar smiled slightly. This is the benefit of the dictator and the centralized system. If you want to know the other party's actions, you just need to stare at the words and deeds of the person in power, and then the actions of the entire country can be interpreted. "Gilgamesh gave up the boring, uninterested and sunk soldiers on the border with the Kingdom of Silver on the border, trained troops, and began to brush towers. One is that his troops' combat power has already seen blood and has most of the experience, and the other is the money and materials he needs to brush towers."
To be honest, Keral did not take the Kingdom of Silver and the Ancient Uma seriously from beginning to end. The foundations of both of their countries were too weak. One was that the grain output was too low, and the other was that the Tower of Babylonian Heaven was too important. This led to the fact that the foundations of Uruk had not developed, and dependence was also a disease.
Keral could easily clean up the two countries, so his eyes were always on those two major countries: Romania and Macedonia!
