Chapter 60 No Rest
Although Parker was already very moved, he finally asked: "I wonder how many territories will participate in this union?"
Klee laughed and replied with smugness: "The purpose of this chamber of commerce is to unite all territories south of the Baron River."
Parker was even more shocked. He didn't expect that the Garfield Chamber of Commerce would have such a big disturbance this time. The Baron River is a very important river in the south of the mainland, and it is also a river that divides the south of the mainland into two.
The average width of the middle and lower reaches of the Balong River is more than two kilometers, so there are not many bridges on the river at all, and most commerce is carried out by ferry.
To the south of this river, there are one marquis and two Count territories, and there are eighteen viscount territories, countless barons and lords.
The vast area north of the Hartengtaohai Mountains and south of the Balong River has more than 5 million square kilometers of land and a population of tens of millions.
It is possible that the Garfield Chamber of Commerce will unite so many forces and gather a million troops, just for a small Hattentaohai Basin with only more than 500,000 square kilometers, and a slightly stronger and barbaric Xia Guoling. As for?
Parker thought about it for a moment and knew that this was impossible. It was probably a very amazing feat to unite the seven or eight viscounts in the surrounding area south of the Baron River.
It is impossible for two Counts in the north to attack a hostile territory that has nothing to do with their own interests in the north, even if this territory does something that violates the Continental Convention.
Not to mention the marquis who are far away from the west, next to the end of the Baron River, the straight-line distance between the two places is more than a thousand kilometers.
Although Parker figured out these things, he still wanted the five thousand tomahawk suits, which were heavy equipment that he usually wanted to buy without any place!
It’s not that the Tomahawk suit is rare, but that no one sells weapons and equipment like this, and can only be built in their own territory.
But it is not a short answer to creating a qualified set of equipment, and it will take more than a month to be an experienced blacksmith.
So Parker couldn't help but tempt and nodded in agreement: "Of course, I agree to unite, I don't know when the materials and equipment will be delivered?"
"As long as the Viscount promises to join forces, half of the equipment can be delivered immediately. However, after the military ration is only sent, the Chamber of Commerce will replenish the equipment based on the troops sent by Lord Viscount, and the remaining half of the equipment will be provided." Klee gave a slight hug, expressed his gratitude and explained.
Parker also understood the other party's concerns, wasn't he just afraid that he would not fulfill his promise if he received the benefits, so he nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, the Lord promised that he would dispatch at least five thousand elite soldiers!"
Klee was very happy to hear this truth. The five thousand elites that Parker promised were not farmers who put down their farm tools and picked up simple weapons, but professional soldiers who had been trained for a long time, so the five thousand elites were already a big number.
He resisted the urge to laugh, maintained a polite look, bent down and bowed, "Thank you Lord Viscount for your support!"
"When will we meet and where?" Parker nodded and smiled, then asked.
Kley replied: "Mr. Viscount, the coalition forces will meet in your territory in half a year, and I hope to be prepared."
Then the two discussed the details of the joint dispatch of troops in front of the many powerful people present, and decided on the time of the meeting. After Klee said goodbye and left Parker's castle and territory.
According to what Kley said to Parker when he parted, "I must speed up the time to go to other territories, so as to complete the union as soon as possible."
After seeing off Klee, the Garfield Caravan representative who suddenly arrived, Parker said to his subordinates: "You have seen this, and the result has been confirmed."
Parker looked at his civil affairs officer Lord Burt as if he had something to say, so he waved his hand to tell the other party not to be anxious, and then said, "As for those refugees, those who need it can recruit and take them in by themselves."
He was giving his subordinates a room for freedom to play. He also knew that the nobles under his command had their own needs, so he did not completely limit death.
When Bert heard his lord's words, he knew what it meant, so he did not continue to speak and agreed to this method.
The news that the Nanshan leaders agreed to the alliance soon spread throughout the territory. They did not have the idea of keeping it confidential, but instead believed that it could shock the enemy if it was spread.
As the new neighbor of Nanshan Territory, Xia State also received this information.
Chen Ping, the intelligence officer of Xia Kingdom, has been working hard and planning for several years. He is now not aware of the things outside Shanhaiguan, but he still knows something like this.
So Yang Song also knew that new hostile forces appeared outside Shanhaiguan.
In other words, as long as Yang Song wants to expand, war is inevitable. With war, there will be conquest, and with conquest, there will be taboos in this world. In this way, hostile forces will never be missing.
Even if the Xia Kingdom does not fight back and scolds, and does not take advantage of it, and does not use it if it has the ability, there will still be enemies.
So Yang Song also figured it out, I will develop as much as I should, expand as I can expand, kill the enemy if I attack, and take advantage if I can take advantage!
At its own pace, it is a matter of time before hostility with this world. The Xia Kingdom is no longer a territory that was just beginning, but a country with sufficient capital.
No matter how the forces outside Shanhaiguan unite, the Xia Kingdom's goal has been achieved--there will no longer be a battle in a short period of time.
The enemy's union cannot be achieved in a short while, so the Xia Kingdom has a buffer time to master and control the newly occupied territory.
"Chen Ping, tell me, how long will it take for these forces against Xia outside Shanhaiguan to unite?" Yang Song turned to ask after hearing Chen Ping's information about the newly emerging hostile forces outside Shanhaiguan.
Chen Ping knew that Yang Song was asking about his thoughts about the alliance forces outside Shanhaiguan. He bowed and replied: "Go back to the emperor, Yichen has obtained the information. After the enemy learned about the powerful combat power of our army, he should have some preparations. It has been learned that it was half a year later, but Yichen estimated that this time is not enough."
"Half a year of preparation is not enough?" Yang Song asked in confusion. The last time the seven territories united only took one or two months, why did it take so long this time?
Chen Ping explained to Yang Song: "Your Majesty, the enemy's troops should not be less than 100,000 this time. As the troops increase, the things to be prepared will also increase, and there are hundreds of thousands of refugees who were driven out by us to drag the opponent's back."
After hearing Chen Ping's explanation, Yang Song nodded in a clear way.
He knew that when the Xia Kingdom had only 300 soldiers, he didn't need to prepare anything at all. After now, with nearly 10,000 troops, the amount needed increased in an index.
