Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"You brat." Zhao Xu laughed angrily when he heard Lin Yi's shameless words.

But no matter how you say it, Lin Yi is his nephew and a member of his family. If you don't help Lin Yi, who else can you help?

Therefore, Zhao Xu just laughed and scolded Lin Yi, but he also decided to support Lin Yi when the time came.

At worst, he could just use the power of the emperor to force the Admiralty to agree to this matter.

I have to say that this is the advantage of "Jiatianxia". No matter how the ministers objected, Zhao Xu, who had the absolute right to speak, made a big statement in the Daxia court.

Zhao Xu did not worry too much about the formation of the First Legion. Instead, he cared about the number of people and the time it took for the First Legion to form an army.

"Yi'er, can you tell my uncle that your first legion only has [-] people. According to the empire's configuration, a legion normally has [-] people." Zhao Xu asked with some confusion.

Although it is said that the legion establishment of the Daxia Empire is not permanent and is only temporarily established during wartime, a legion normally consists of seven to eight divisions, or even more than ten divisions. A legion of at least [-] people.

The legion that Lin Yi wants to set up now is, first of all, breaking Daxia's rule of not having a permanent legion and transforming the temporary legion into a permanent legion.

The second point is that the size of the legion is too small, with a full strength of only [-], which is [-] less than the empire's previous requirement of at least [-].

Lin Yi was speechless when he heard Zhao Xu's words.

Does he not want a normal legion of [-] people? Of course he wanted to, but the system didn't give him a chance and only allowed him to expand his army to a maximum of [-] people.

Otherwise, the excess portion will not be equipped with weapons.

Lin Yi had no choice but to form a pocket army.

"Uncle, the troops should be elite rather than numerous. The troops I require are of high quality. If I add [-] troops at once, it will definitely have a great impact on other troops."

"And the scale of [-] people is the solution I can think of that will have the least impact on other troops."

"You kid, you still know how to advance and retreat." Zhao Xu praised Lin Yi again when he heard what he said.

When Zhao Xu thought about it, Lin Yi didn't let his previous military exploits go to his head. He didn't just shovel good things into his bowl, and he still considered other people's feelings. This was very valuable in Zhao Xu's opinion.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, you can make your own decisions regarding the First Legion. If there's anything that can't be solved, come back to your uncle and he will solve it for you." Zhao Xu said with a smile to Lin Yi.

"Also, Yi'er, tell me, why does your plan require the first army to be formed within six months?"

"There hasn't been anything important in the empire recently, so there's no need to be so urgent, right?" Zhao Xu was very surprised by this.

You know, the speed of forming an army is directly proportional to the input of materials.

The faster the army is formed, the more materials need to be invested.

Whether it is weapons and ammunition, or the investment of food, grass and living supplies.

Moreover, within the First Army Corps, Lin Yi's military pay and food standards were very high, and it could almost be said that there was meat for every meal.

Military pay is more than twice that of other troops.

Such a large material investment is also a big test for the empire's finances.

This is still normal training. If you want to speed up the formation of an army, then the amount of these materials must be doubled at least.

Therefore, Zhao Xu believes that when things are not urgent, train slowly and don't rush to form an army.

"Uncle, you can't do it. How can you say everything is fine now? The empire is in danger now." Lin Yi shook his head and said to Zhao Xu.

"Uncle, look, we defeated John and the Gallic coalition this time. Although we claim to the outside world that there is no such thing, these words can only deceive ordinary people. We can deceive those countries with ulterior motives. Can’t reach each other.”

"If you don't tell them far away, just tell us about the Sakura Empire to the east, we won't be able to deceive them."

"The Sakura Empire has been my vassal of Daxia for thousands of years, but since Sakura's internal reform, it has become stronger."

"From that time on, the Sakura Empire's ambition for territory, or to be more precise, the Sakura Empire's ambition for me, Daxia, has grown exponentially."

"Especially since the great sea battle three years ago, when I, Daxia, was defeated and the Sakura Empire took away Yizhou Island, his ambitions were fully revealed."

"So, the Sakura Empire definitely does not want Daxia to rise again. Over the years, they don't know how many spies they have sent to Daxia."

"So, we can't hide the fact that we defeated John and the Gallic coalition forces from Sakura."

"In order to maintain its advantage over Daxia, the Sakura Empire will definitely initiate provocations. And we cannot rule out John and Gaul provoking it."

"So in order to better cope with the situation, the First Army must form an army as soon as possible to defend Daxia." Lin Yi said with a serious face.

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he fell silent. He knew that what Lin Yi said was not impossible, and it could even be said that the Sakura Empire would definitely do this.

"A bunch of white-eyed wolves, wolf-hearted things." Zhao Xu cursed secretly, and then looked at Lin Yi again.

"Yier, what are you going to do?" Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"Uncle, my idea is very simple. It's already October. When the half-year integration of the First Corps is completed, it will be April."

"At that time, when the weather gets warmer, I will dispatch the first army to the four provinces outside the customs."

"The four provinces outside the Pass are now the areas where the Sakura Empire and the Rakshasa Empire are most active. Therefore, I plan to send the First Army and the main force of the Beijing Camp there to cooperate with the troops outside the Pass to drive out the forces of the Sakura Empire and the Rakshasa Empire. .”

"You want to leave the Sakura Empire? And bring the Rakshasa Kingdom with you? Are Yi'er sure? Now the two countries have considerable influence outside the customs."

"Furthermore, Goryeo has fallen and is occupied by the Sakura Empire. The Sakura Empire can increase its troops outside the Pass at any time. Coupled with the Rakshasa Empire, there are so few hundreds of thousands of troops from the two countries outside the Pass. Can we defeat them?" Zhao Xu also said Some said worriedly.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but because Zhao Xu was the emperor of the empire and he needed to be responsible for the entire Great Xia. He couldn't be like Lin Yi, who just hit whenever he wanted.

If you win the fight, everything will be fine, but what if you lose?

And there are too many things to consider in battles involving hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

Not to mention how to fight this battle, the march route, and the selection of the decisive battle area, just talking about the later supplies, this is a difficult account.

A little carelessness will result in the defeat of the front line.

Moreover, a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people was already considered a battle of national destiny for Daxia.

As the emperor of the empire, Zhao Xu had to weigh carefully. Even if he doted on Lin Yi, he needed to consider these issues.
