Chapter 700 Gulam Project
Mazov handed over a report, took a sip of the fine Sinian tea, and said the words he had prepared,
"The current permanent population of Qingyan Port is 134,600. Among them, 68,000 people are in the labor force, and there are only 12,000 male children between the ages of six and twelve. I do not recommend that this plan be implemented prematurely. If soldiers are scarce, Rascal can provide some additional troops."
"The number of mercenaries in this phase is 8,000, and they are all sent to Sartusa and Dawn Fortress. Caledor's current strategic deployment does not have a large-scale war plan. The implementation of Gulam should wait for a period of time. Time will be considered after the second wave of population appears."
The Gulam Project is a project secretly formulated by the Parliament under the instructions of the palace. It is based on keeping underage male humans in captivity to train a team that is absolutely loyal to the giants The army of the Dragon Court.
This plan is still in the finalization stage, and the person in charge is Masnow, who is stationed in Anaheim for self-government.
Imrik studied the report. Compared with the paper data given by the Noble Council, Mazov's was undoubtedly more practical. It listed various indicators in detail, whether there was a willingness to join the army, the distribution of family atmosphere, etc.
Looking at Prince Long who was studying the plan, Mazov pointed out a problem,
"The urban planning of Qingyan Port has become a bit bloated with the growth of population, and has expanded to the boundaries of the rainforest. The tropical environment is not suitable for large-scale population gathering. Even with the magical protection of Lustria, Nurgle's plague cannot penetrate here. There is no need to consider health issues, but we still need to find a suitable location to build the city." Imric didn't think twice and directly selected the site
. He said,
"The obsidian peaks and the ruins of the ancient city have not been destroyed, and the large amount of mineral resources can also be used as a preparatory industrial base." The
city site selection is not a big deal. The key is the Gulam plan. In addition to the high-level knowledge and alignment Outside Qingyan Port, only a few people knew that the other target was Bretonnia.
But it is a bit of a headache to extract the children among them. What I want is a professional army, not cannon fodder soldiers who participate in public service every year.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind. He still had a hundred years to feed three thousand people as livestock, train and study during the day, and work hard to create humans at night.
Even if they are forced to pile up, 100,000 people will be piled up at the most critical moment.
"Send three thousand men of working age to Anaheim. I hope this number will double in ten years." "
As long as the magic level is passed and productivity can supply so many professional soldiers, I think the problem should not be big. ." Mazov thought carefully, and the number of three thousand people was still within the controllable range, but he was a little worried that the instructor was some ruthless dragon prince, especially someone like Bruni, who could easily kill someone.
Obviously Imrik also knew what Mazov was worried about. He looked up at the thinking villain and said,
"Oliveira will be responsible for training them. You don't need to focus on this plan."
Mazov smiled after hearing this, which may alleviate the problem. He felt a lot of pressure, "It should be so, I can't think of a more suitable candidate than him."
...
With the appointment letter just issued by the palace, Oliveira returned to his hometown of Fengxiao City for the first time in a long time, and transferred with his mission. Ship bound for Anaheim, ready to report to old boss.
It's hard for him to express his feelings now. He has been traveling around the world for these years, from the caves of Lustria to the trenches of Sartosa. The experiences he has encountered along the way are indeed difficult to get in Ulthuan.
Accompanying him is the sad-looking Mi Shan, who is holding a halberd and feeling depressed alone. After working hard for so long, he still has no child.
In order to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Oliveira took the initiative to raise the subject, "Sir Mishan, do you know the current situation in Anaheim?" Mishan lowered his eyebrows and explained in an unusually calm tone, "What can I do
? Is the situation worse than not having a child?"
Oliveira, who heard about Mishan's accident, smiled awkwardly. This is really a huge blow, especially as his wife gets older and her physical condition makes it difficult to conceive. , the human nobles in the court have fallen into a long-term depression.
It can be seen that Mishan is sincerely attracted to that woman, otherwise with his conditions, there would be no shortage of suitors.
The two chatted for a while, mainly about what they had seen in the old world. Apart from serving as the God of War for Erengrad during the Great Holy War, Mishan had never had a deep understanding of that land.
After hearing the rumors about Arabi, he stroked his beard and thought about why it seemed so familiar.
After talking about some reconnaissance operations in the bad land, Mishan interrupted Oliveira's endless admiration for a certain big sword superman at the right time, "So
Damian is still making trouble with the dwarves."
"That's right. He seems to have been called a friend by the High King of the Dwarves." "
Haha, the High King you are talking about is Thorgrin's mustache."
Oliveira broke into a sweat. Although the dwarves looked down upon the dwarves in society, but On the surface, he still has the most basic respect. For example, he would not use the word mustache when addressing the Supreme King.
After all, this is a profound lesson. Just because of a beard, the two sides started a war that affected the fate of the race.
"Yes, yes, that's Thor Green."
"Go and see him when you have time. I really miss the time we spent together. It's not like it is now. It's hard to find someone to talk to." Mishan sighed at the past time. In that world where there was no identity difference or prejudice, they lived and died together for a long time. It can only be said that everything was an arrangement of fate.
In the end, the family was quite happy, except for Imrik, who seemed to have no interest in women at all.
As the ship entered the port, the two of them finally ended their express journey. The person in charge of greeting them welcomed them in a very formal way, and moved two war horses to signal them to the inner fortress in the center of the fortress.
The sparse patrol team walked regularly according to the shift. The large number of residences along the way were extremely quiet, with no trace of human habitation. Except for a few places that looked like pubs that were taken care of, the entire street looked particularly deserted.
People repeat their daily actions according to a predetermined plan, just like a machine running along the gears. This is the essence of the army, stripping away human nature and turning it into a machine that obeys orders and efficiency.
As the northernmost territory of Caledor, Anaheim is mostly staffed by soldiers stationed here, except for some movement of people at the port and supplies needed for operation.
Compared to the Ulthuan military fortress that Oliveira had been to, which was as noisy and lively as the city, this place had the same traditional Caledorian style as before - silence.
Yoneyama lost no time in complaining, "This place looks like a ghost town. Soldiers also need to live. Except for a few women in the tavern, there is not even a mare in sight. It's easy to get into trouble." (End of Chapter
