Chapter 1497: "·Fengyun Suddenly·Four"

We learned how fierce the world is, and at the same time learned that the world can also become gentle and beautiful.
Haruki Murakami (Famous Japanese writer and scholar)
The addition of four new governor’s regiments is limited to the increase in the strength of Prince William’s northwestern metropolitan governor’s palace, but he has regained the province of Brest once again. He is willing to pay for it.
The Westminster Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most powerful chamber of commerce on the mainland. Even if they were forced by some kind of pressure from the light church and the dark council, they agreed to help Prince Prosperity keep secrets, and they would secretly send relevant information in other ways. In the hands of those who should know the situation, how could they only provide convenience to the Prince of Pros? You know, Prince William is also their VIP.
Loan sharking is the most profitable business on the mainland, especially for Prince William, an imperial prince with certain potential, and the Westminster Chamber of Commerce has no reason to refuse Prince William’s loan requirements; loans of hundreds of millions of gold coins, the daily interest rate is Astonishing.
What is more satisfying for the Westminster Chamber of Commerce is that the William, who received this huge loan, only took less than 50 million gold coins in cash, and the other money was paid to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce for food and food. All kinds of materials have made the Westminster Chamber of Commerce a big profit.
Prince William used the food and various materials bought by the loan to become a weapon for him to surrender to the rebels in the western provinces of the empire. Choosing to surrender to Prince William, even several large-scale rebels who betrayed Prince William in the past, fell under the attack of Prince William's sugar-coated shells.
When the rapidly growing army of Prince William sent envoys south to the provinces of Rennes and Cherbourg, Kotarelli, who had already integrated the rebels of these two provinces, had already reached a number of rebels. More than 400,000 became the strongest rebels in the western part of the empire.
The problem now facing Prince William is that if he can successfully surrender Kotalyri’s rebels, he will be able to harvest 400,000 troops and two provinces in one fell swoop; if he can’t surrender Kotarelli, Then he lost the possibility of continuing south.
At another critical moment within the empire that may determine the storm that the throne will belong to, Prince William is absolutely impossible to wage a fierce battle with the rebels in the provinces of Rennes and Cherbourg; he would rather miss The two provinces are unwilling to lose their power.
Unlike the problem encountered by Prince William, Prince Harry, who succeeded in seeking help from the White Horse Kingdom, did not get the support of the three major forces in the domain of chaos, but he also attracted a powerful mercenary army in the domain of chaos. His development momentum It is also very strong.
More importantly, as Kotarei’s interest rate led his elite rebels north, only scattered rebels in the provinces of Dele, Argentan, and Mayenne traveled at a very fast rate. Put the flag of the governor's office in the southwest, and fell into the hands of Prince Harry.
The southwestern metropolitan government, which had only seven standing legions and four government legions, expanded the number of government legions to 20 through a large number of rebels. At the same time, Prince Harry’s government mansion also had The fierce strength of fifteen divisions.
The nearly half a million troops are still impressive in terms of scale, but compared with the other three ambitious princes, the army of the southwestern metropolitan government is a little bit pitiful; even soon, the White Horse Kingdom’s fifty thousand The army will come to the Dudu Palace in the southwest as a folk identity, and it is impossible to fundamentally change the absolute disadvantage of Prince Harry in military strength.
In order to make up for the serious shortage of his own army, Prince Harry decided on the one hand to increase the combat effectiveness of his army as much as possible, on the other hand, he built a large-scale cannon fodder army based on the Cossack mercenaries he hired for a large amount of money.
Opman’s Cossack mercenaries are mainly composed of more than a thousand officers from all levels of the Eastern Metropolitan Government, and 10,000 elite battlefield veterans are mainly assembled; plus the number of temporary hires that Opman received after Bai Feng’s order Ten smaller mercenaries. At this time, the Cossack mercenaries are already powerful mercenaries with more than 30,000 mercenaries, and their combat strength is stronger than that of the two standing legions.
A mercenary can be a powerful tiger-wolf division, but it must not be an elite division prohibited by law. The difference between the two is obvious; there are dozens of them under the name of Cossack mercenaries, In fact, there is no mercenary mercenaries. The Cossack mercenaries have never shown their truest side, which is why Prince Harry reused them.
In the battle to reclaim the province of Mayenne, the first Cossack mercenary fighting for Prince Harry, at first, performed well, defeating many rebels who tried to resist; then, the Cossack mercenary hire The soldiers gradually became out of control.
They disobeyed the orders given by Prince Harry, slaughtered the rebel soldiers who laid down their weapons and surrendered, plundered the towns with the flag of the Dudu Palace in southwestern China, and occasionally attacked allies for loot.
Because of this, Prince Harry dared to boldly reuse the Cossack mercenaries and allow them to absorb new members from time to time; because Prince Harry knew that the more the Cossack mercenaries that caused public outrage, the more likely it was that they would be able to betray their own control For yourself, otherwise, it will be the siege of everyone.
Under the deliberate arrangement of Prince Harry, the military department of the Metropolitan Government in the Southwest has added more and more low-powered rebel soldiers to the Cossack mercenaries in the name of awards; the number of mercenaries of the Cossack mercenaries was thus obtained Explosive growth.
After Prince Harry regained the provinces of Saint-Nazaire, Diup, and Caen, the size of the Cossack mercenaries had reached a rather alarming level; initially, there were only more than 30,000 mercenary Cossack mercenaries It now has a total of 600,000 mercenaries, and its messy and bloated establishment is also the most among the mainland countries.
The internal structure of the Cossack mercenary is extremely chaotic. The basic unit of its establishment is the brigade, but the result is that the most powerful brigade has more than 5,000 mercenaries, and the least powerful brigade has less than fifty mercenaries. The number of mercenaries varies by a whole. A hundred times!
At the same time, under the premise of ensuring combat strength, the Southwest Metropolitan Government’s steadily expanding army only created five new government regiments and ten guard divisions; Hundreds of thousands had no cannon fodder at all.
The day before the army of the southwestern Metropolitan Government arrived at the border between Rennes and Cherbourg, Prince William, who was close to the front line, surrendered the rebels of the Kotarelli Department at a great cost and took the northwestern Metropolitan Government’s rebels. The flag was inserted over the provinces of Rennes and Cherbourg.
