The 319th chapter tit for tat (3)
Joe was at Hydra Palace when gunfire sounded in Mrs. Meer's mansion.
There is a palace surrounded by oak forests in the northeast corner of the huge and magnificent Hydra Palace. The palace covering an acre of land is surrounded by a horse path, with a playground behind, and at the front front, more than a dozen field artillery of different diameters are lined up in front.
This is the bedroom of Salian in Hydra Palace.
On the first floor of the bedroom, in the hall of nearly two acres of land, there are sand trays of land size in the middle. The plains, plateaus, mountains, and lakes above are exquisitely crafted and exquisite, which is the full map of the Medland continent.
A banner with different complexion was inserted on the sand table, representing the field legions arranged by the Delun Empire everywhere. Through the sand table, we can see that the Delun Empire has now stationed heavy troops in the northwest and northeast directions, and the density of the small flag is more than twenty times that of other directions.
On the walls of the hall are huge maps hanging.
The complete map of the Medland continent, the complete map of the Delun Empire, the complete map of the terrain of the major powers of Medland, and the complete map of the borders of the countries bordering the Delun Empire, etc.
Among these maps, there are even full maps of capitals of major countries such as the Ice Sea Kingdom, the Kingdom of Santa Chia, the Empire of Lucia, the United Kingdom of Nice, the Republic of Gaul... These maps are so detailed that they even mark the exact location of each avenue and every alley.
After Joe followed Sallyan to the palace, he was immediately shocked by these maps.
How much manpower, material resources, financial resources, and how much time it takes to create such a detailed map?
Inexplicably excited, Salian took off his coat, stood in front of the huge Medland continental sand table with his hands on his hips, staring straight at the flags representing the field legions on the sand table.
He murmured in words and sentences that made Qiao feel unfamiliar with the launch rate, firepower comparison, personnel consumption, logistics supply, etc., and his eyes flashed with chilling light.
More than a dozen Imperial Army generals with three general stars hanging on their shoulders were also standing next to the sand table, and they also looked straight at the small flags on the sand table.
Suddenly, an admiral waved his right hand and nearly half of the flags that were originally densely packed near the Lulai Plain, the northeast corner of the empire, flew into the air, spanning the northern territory of the Delun Empire on the sand table, and stuck heavily in the Rhine Corridor at the northwest corner of the empire.
"Your Highness, the success of the revolver proves that these new weapons are enough to soar the combat power of the Imperial Army."
The attacking general said in a deep voice: "In the Lulai Plain, we no longer have to maintain the huge military strength we are now... As long as we leave half of our military strength today, it will be enough to create a crushing advantage for the Lucia Empire."
Salian nodded heavily: "That's right... half of it even has a little more... Then, if the troops drawn from the Lulai Plain are put into the Rhine Corridor, they will be accompanied by new ordnance."
Another general waved his hand, and white airflows circled around the sand table. The small flags that had just been inserted near the Rhine Corridor flew up one after another, and then with a slight sound of breaking through the air, they fell heavily on the high ground in the north-south direction of the Rhine Corridor.
"Kill the Highland Kingdom." The general clenched his fist hard, then waved his fist hard, and hit the two highlands with a false blow: "Kill the Highland Kingdom, thus, the empire will be condescending and form an absolute strategic advantage over the countries in the hinterland of Medland."
Salian giggled and laughed: "Those Gauls, I'm afraid they won't agree."
A general raised his head proudly: "Then let's compete with them... The First Army of the Medlands? Haha, I'm very curious, are the big Gaul noses who are immersed in food and champagne all day long, their combat power and their ancestors as powerful as their ancestors?"
More than a dozen generals' eyes glowed.
Their eyes followed the Lanyin Corridor, crossed the highland area all the way west, and then went straight into the huge plain area of the core area of the Medland continent...
The territory here is as huge as dozens of Delun Empires.
There are nearly a hundred countries of all sizes here.
In the westernmost part of these countries, a huge territory marked with light red is the Gallic Republic. This is a powerful country with a territory that is even larger than the Delun Empire, with a larger population, richer resources, and more powerful in all aspects than the Delun Empire.
To the northwest of the Gaul Republic, there is a narrow strait that is only fifty miles wide, and there is a land composed of three large, nine small and twelve islands.
This territory is probably only one-third of the territory of the Gaul Republic.
This is the Ice Sea Kingdom, the century-old deadly hatred of the Gaul Republic, and the entanglement of the grudges of the two countries. In history, the two countries have had three hundred-year wars.
The three Hundred Years' Wars led to the Ice Sea Kingdom and the Gaul Republic to establish an unrelieved blood feud.
It is precisely because of the restraint of the Ice Sea Kingdom that the Gallic Republic was powerless and in the mood to expand outward.
Even so, with its huge scale and strong combat power, and with its strong comprehensive national strength, the Gallic Republic still has a strong influence in the heart of the Medlands continent.
On the west side of the Medland continent, dozens of countries of all sizes almost obey the Gaul Republic.
Salian and a group of generals walked slowly around the huge sand table, and while waving, flags kept flying up, and then kept inserting them everywhere on the sand table.
In addition to the Lanyin Corridor, a large number of flags gathered in the mountainous area on the west side of Tulun Port.
If the troops were sent from here and crossed the rugged and dangerous mountains, the Imperial Army could directly reach the territory of the United Kingdom of Nice. Historically, the Imperial Army used this method to borrow from the territory of the United Kingdom of Nice and harshly gave the Kingdom of Saint-Shia from behind, and almost joined forces with the Kingdom of Ice Sea to overturn the Kingdom of Saint-Shia.
Small flags continue to extend westward in the mountainous areas west of Tulun Port.
In this mountainous area, there are a large number of mountain plains, and many large and large priests, and the kingdoms are spending leisurely in such mountain plains.
The outstanding performance of the revolver proves the reliability and power of the new ordnances in the drawings given by Joe.
This is a breakthrough achievement that is enough to allow the Imperial Army soldiers to burst out dozens of times their combat power and to subvert the military strength of various countries in the Medland continent. This makes the military strategy of the Delun Empire more agile and flexible.
Under the same number of military forces, the Imperial Army with soaring combat power can blossom in multiple places and achieve multiple strategic goals.
For example, recapturing the Lanyin Corridor allows the shadow of the empire to once again cover the heart of Medland.
For example, capturing the Highland Kingdom made the group of rough, barbaric but powerful highland barbarians become minions of the empire through fire and water.
For example, the military front threatened the United Kingdom of Nice to seize more sea outlets with better terrain and geography for the empire.
For example, the capture of several principalities and kingdoms in the mountainous areas of the western Tulun Port... In that mountainous area, mineral resources were extremely rich, especially rich in precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, etc., and a large number of gem minerals. The empire had already salivated this mountainous area.
In the past, the Imperial Army's military strength was not enough to support the empire to launch such a huge strategic plan.
But now, as long as those new ordnances have formed a scale, the Imperial Army has the strength to do whatever it wants.
The mythical Hydra Hydra is greedy and cruel.
The imperial royal family who inherited the power of Hydra, their nature is equally cruel and greedy!
Joe stood by the sand table and listened quietly to the fierce discussion and argument between Salian and a group of admirals.
War, war, war...
In order to escape from the crime, the drawings that Joe presented to Sally will greatly enhance the war potential of the Derren Empire... And the Derren Empire Army, which has strong combat power, will launch a war without hesitation!
A crimson glowed in Qiao's pupils.
War…with death and killing, with horror and plague…
The instinct of "Scarlet" further awakened and became stronger. Qiao could already understand the discussion between Salian and the generals. His eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the huge sand table, and remembering the details of the terrain of the Medland continent firmly in his heart.
His eyes swept over the map on the walls of the hall and remembered the details on the large and small maps.
The guards in the army uniform walked in and delivered snacks and fine wine for midnight snacks.
Salian and the generals took action themselves, grabbed the huge sterling silver wine glass, filled themselves with fine wine, and then sipped the wine in big gulps while discussing where to start, how to start, and when to prepare for it.
Joe followed Sallyan. At first he just listened to Sallyan and the generals expressing their opinions. Later, as the instinct of "Scarlet" began to wake up, he began to participate in the discussion.
"Of course, we will start with the United Kingdom of Nice first... The war requires money, and they are very rich."
"And, the people in the United Kingdom of Nice are all soft-boos... They are a group of complete merchants, they are all soft-boos, they have no combat power, and we can easily defeat them."
"Defeat them, and cry them...and then force them to cede these three port cities closest to Tulum Port."
Joe held a thin wooden pole and pointed at the sand table: "Your Highness, the Vitu family is willing to guard these three new port cities for the Imperial Pastoral... The shipbuilding industry of these three port cities is developed, so we can build new shipyards here."
Salian raised his glass and drank the strong wine in the glass in one gulp.
He looked at Qiao, who was full of aura, and nodded with satisfaction: "Joe, you made sense. War requires money. If we can get enough money from victory and enough money to support subsequent military operations, of course, it is the best thing."
"Well, Joe, you should be a natural soldier... Tsk, I suggest you take off that police uniform... Imperial Military University, think about it?" Salian's dark gray eyes flashed: "How about you go to the Imperial Military University to study and serve as my adjutant."
Joe frowned, thinking about Salian's advice.
