In the next few days, Caroline didn’t know whether it was because of shame or something, but she always avoided Gu Yuan.

Faced with such a situation, Gu Yuan could only scratch his head, he was innocent.

However, he still had a large number of government affairs to deal with, and at the same time he had to recruit a group of troops to prepare for the upcoming war.

Previously, Gu Yuan expanded the army to 100,000 people, but Gu Yuan has ordered that industrial machines be fully started during this period, and weapons and equipment are being manufactured continuously.

“The enemy we are facing is the Orc Empire. The Orc Empire’s vanguard has about 100,000 troops, and their follow-up troops, as well as the troops that have not been mobilized within their empire, are conservatively estimated to be more than 2.5 million.”

“And we have a potential enemy, the Duke of Golden Lion.”

At the military meeting, all the officers above the regimental level were present, and Gu Yuan sat in the first seat to listen to Rotis’s report.

These officers were basically all knights who were loyal to Gu Yuan in the Los Kingdom.

Some of the knights were organized into officers by Gu Yuan, while the other part formed a small special forces.

Gu Yuan now has 60 regiments of troops, that is, a total of 120,000 troops, but most of them are recruits who have just been trained for less than a month.

“Is the Duke of Golden Lion a big threat to us?”

Gu Yuan asked in a deep voice.

“The threat is not small. Although they are cold weapon troops, the Gutongs Alliance Empire is close to them. Finally, the Duke of Golden Lion is a high-ranking official with a group of powerful magician corps and dragon knight corps under his command.”

“The Duke of Golden Lion has 300,000 troops under his direct command, and the Duke of Golden Lion has 23 member states of the Gutongs Alliance Empire.”

“If the Duke of Golden Lion recruits all his troops, he should be able to raise an army of no less than two million people, and they will all be regular elites.”

Rotis reported

“So, the total strength of our direct and potential enemies is close to five million.”

Gu Yuan thought.

Five million people, this is a huge number. The total population of their Los Kingdom is only more than three million.

“Yes, Your Majesty, but we don’t have to worry about the enemy uniting. The Orc Empire and any human kingdom are incompatible.”

Rotis said

“Our forces are still too few. Although I am confident that these loyal troops will defeat anyone on the battlefield, the enemy only needs to send a part of the troops to delay our main force and attack our kingdom from other places.”

And the enemy also has a large number of magicians and air forces.

These will undoubtedly cause varying degrees of damage to the Los army.

It can be seen that facing the army of the Gutongs Empire in the future will be a tough battle.

The combat effectiveness of the Los Kingdom’s army is overwhelming any army of this era, but the number is too small.

The enemy’s huge number can completely divide the troops and take a detour, and not fight head-on with Guyuan’s army.

In order to prevent the people of the Duke of Golden Lion from stealing the house when Guyuan is at war with the Orc Empire, Guyuan has to expand its army.

“Expand the army, strictly recruit soldiers from the Nords, and ensure their loyalty to the kingdom. The goal this time is to recruit 150,000 new soldiers.”

Gu Yuan gave the order.

The Nord population is 3 million, and the maximum army that can be recruited is 300,000 if one in ten is selected.

However, the most combat-capable class of the Nords above the good citizens are not loyal enough to the Los Kingdom, so the Los Kingdom recruits ordinary Nord people who are loyal enough.

There is no other way. Although the enemy’s combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning in Gu Yuan’s view, there are too many of them. In order to prevent the enemy from stealing the home, Gu Yuan can only expand the army again and guard the defense line in the direction of the Gutongs Empire.

In this way, Gu Yuan’s army will be divided into two batches, the southern line and the eastern line.

The Los Kingdom has an army of 120,000 on the southern line, 20,000 veterans and 100,000 recruits, and the Los Kingdom has an army of 150,000 on the eastern line, all of which are recruits.

Gu Yuan’s total force will reach as many as 270,000, of which the number of Los people is only a few, but they all serve as officers at all levels to command.

“Population, population, population!”

Gu Yuan rubbed his temples. The small population was still his disadvantage.

The total population of Germany in World War II was more than 80 million. By the end of the war, including the dead and the new recruits, there were as many as 11 million real German soldiers. Together with the armies of the surrounding vassal states, there were 15 million.

If Gu Yuan was given half of the population of Germany, it would not be a problem for Gu Yuan to raise an army of 5 million people. At that time, he could really attack wherever he pointed.

But Lude has to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time.

Gutongs Alliance Empire, Golden Lion Duchy.

In a luxurious castle, great knights wearing bright silver armor with beautiful bright gold lion patterns on their armor patrolled back and forth with swords, and their red cloaks with gold threads behind them were also fluttering in the wind.

In the castle, a tall and strong middle-aged man with sideburns and golden beard, and golden hair on his head, as wild as a real lion, sat at the dining table. He looked at his family who were having dinner, and looked at a great knight next to him with deep eyes, and asked,”Is Sir Ruthia not back yet?”

“”Not yet, Your Excellency the Duke.”

The knight replied respectfully.

“Lucia has been gone for three months. Is it so difficult to ask her to bring back the king of a small country?”

The Duke of Golden Lion said with some impatience.

He didn’t expect that the first time he asked Lucia to go on a mission, Lucia would not come back after three months.

Bring back the kings of small countries that are about to be destroyed, let them be under his control and become his puppets, and then send some troops to restore these small countries. Usually, after the kings of these small countries restore their countries, their national strength will be further strengthened because of his support. For the Duke of Golden Lion, having one more vassal state can also make him more powerful.

“this…..Sir Ruthia must have been delayed on the way. After all, the Los Kingdom is quite far away from our Golden Lion Principality.

The knight thought about it and defended Ruthia.

“The Los Kingdom is close to the sea. Apart from the Los Kingdom, only the Orc Empire is close to the sea. We can’t go out to sea from the Orc Empire, so we can only take over the Los Kingdom. But now Lucia has taken such a long time to do such a small thing. You don’t have to defend Lucia. If Lucia doesn’t come back in another month, it will be considered that she has failed the mission. I will personally send troops to take over the surrounding areas of the Los Kingdom.”

Obviously, the Los Kingdom area is very important to the Duke of Golden Lion because it is close to the sea.

This is related to the success of his always great plan!
