Chapter 687: Dividing Interest Areas
On December 17, 9753 in the Glorious Calendar, the Eighteenth Army captured Golfito City and declared that the Stovia region was fully occupied.
At the site of the original Solomon City, hundreds of thousands of conscripted civilian laborers were building a new city under the supervision of tens of thousands of fortified troops.
Twenty kilometers north of the new city, there is a military camp that can accommodate 100,000 troops.
In the camp, Verin received Russell's letter, came to the sand table, and pulled out the flag representing the Kingdom of Anza from where Golfito City was.
At this point, the expeditionary force's war against the Stovia region of the Kingdom of Anza has officially ended, and the next step is to divide the interests.
The Stovia region, a mineral resource region in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Anza, is known as the "region sitting on the copper mines". With the South Stovia plain, it is also an important grain-producing area, so it is famous for its winemaking. The wind prevails and is also known as the "Wine Country".
This region, which covers an area of about 320,000 square kilometers, had a population of about 28 million before the war. As of now, Weilin estimates that there are still 20 million people in this region.
Half a month later, all the generals gathered in Solomon City.
In the big tent, Verin sat on the main seat, Earl Russell, commander of the Eighteenth Army, sat on the left, and Bishop Leicester of the Holy Army sat on the right.
In addition to the three important positions, there were thirty-eight generals, big and small, in the camp. They were seated in order according to their strength and position.
Two high-ranking silver knights said in unison.
"quiet."
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and sat quietly.
Verin looked around and said: "The second-level administrative region of the Stovia region is divided into five provinces, two ports and one ancient road. The five provinces are Libek Province, Qianbao Province, Solomon Province, and Barik Province. With Haifeng Province, the two ports are Rulisk City and Golfito City, and the first ancient road is the Xiashan Ancient Road.”
"Libek Province covers an area of 43,627 square kilometers, with a pre-war population of 2.86 million and an estimated post-war population of 2.15 million. It has seven large copper mines and four large Iron mine, one small magic iron mine, two small blood crystal mines, and 326 other small and medium-sized ordinary mines.”
"Qianbao Province covers an area of 38,769 square kilometers, with a pre-war population of 2.98 million and an estimated post-war population of 2.26 million. There are six large iron mines and two There are 893 large silver mines, one medium-sized gold mine, one medium-sized blood crystal mine, and the rest are small and medium-sized ordinary mines.”
"Solomon Province covers an area of 56,000 square kilometers, with a pre-war population of 6.82 million and a post-war population estimate of 3.17 million. The data is lost and the distribution of mines is not detailed."
"..."
Half an hour later, Weilin gave a general explanation of the situation in the eight areas of the Five Elements Province, including two ports and one ancient road, and established a basic understanding for everyone present.
"Eight regions. According to the contribution of the three armies in the war, the Fifteenth Army and the Eighteenth Army are divided into three regions each. The Crusaders occupy two regions. Is there any objection?"
After hearing this, Earl Russell said: "I have no objection."
"No objection." Bishop Leicester of the Crusaders replied immediately.
"Very good." Verin turned to look at Earl Russell and said, "Earl Russell, the Eighteenth Army suffered the greatest losses in this battle. I allow you to be the first to make the choice."
After several refusals, Russell had no choice but to accept the offer and start picking an area.
"Then our 18th Army will need three areas: Barik Province, Sea Breeze Province and Lulisk City."
After hearing this, Kyle placed the flag representing Earl Russell in the corresponding position on the sand table.
As for how to divide the interests within the Eighteenth Army, it is naturally for Earl Russell to consider.
After the selection of the Eighteenth Army was completed, Wei Linming hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Xiashan Ancient Road, Qianbao Province and Solomon Province are the three areas that our Fifteenth Army wants."
After finishing speaking, Verin looked to the right and asked: "Bishop Leicester, do you have any objections to the entrustment of the province of Libek and the city of Golfito to your Crusaders?"
Bishop Leicester looked calm and replied: "Your Excellency, I have no objection."
After the regional division was completed, Weilin issued several more military orders and then dissolved the meeting.
…
On the morning of January 25, 9754 in the Glorious Calendar, in the camp, Weilin looked at the distribution of resources in the three areas and began to think about which areas should be given to his cousin and which minerals should be rewarded to the Crusaders.
"Kyle, take all the blood crystal mines in the Xiaguan Ancient Road, two gold mines with reserves of more than 200,000 tons, three copper mines with reserves of one million tons, as well as magic iron mines, ice rock mines and Ximu mines. Leave it all to my cousin.”
"As for the Crusaders, give them the remaining gold, silver and Monas mines in the Xiaguan Ancient Road. As for the shares of the five troops, they will be determined based on their performance in the battle formation."
"Yes, Lord."
Hearing this, Kyle nodded and replied.
After the distribution, the generals of each army led their troops to the mining areas to station, recruit civilians, and mine ore.
Three months later, the commander of the expeditionary force, the Duke of East, dispatched the First Army to the front line to launch a new round of offensive against the Kingdom of Anza.
At the same time, the Church of the God of Beasts spread the news in the Kingdom of Geman that the army of alien gods colluded with the devil, destroyed the city of Solomon, and sacrificed millions of people to the devil, igniting the anger of the entire Kingdom of Geman.
As time went by, the story about alien gods colluding with demons, expelling minions, and destroying the world started from the Kingdom of Geman and spread to other parts of the Southern Gexia continent.
Countless adventurers with righteous hearts came from all over the world, and under the guidance of the Church of the God of Beasts, gathered at the border of the Kingdom of Geman and the Kingdom of Anza.
Under the passionate preaching of the Beast Envoys of the Church of the God of Beasts, Stovia has been described as a magical cave full of darkness and evil.
Obla City, located on the western border of the North Sea Region of the German Kingdom, has become a gathering place for thousands of adventurers.
These enthusiastic adventurers gathered in the tavern, chatting about the upcoming battle. At the same time, they also looked forward to following the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Geman and embarking on a journey to the Stovia region to fight with the army of the alien god. Start a life and death battle to save the commoners and nobles who are in dire straits, and let the bards sing their stories.
"Brother, I feel something is wrong." A girl in a cloak looked at the adventurers talking in the tavern, sat closer to the boy next to her, and whispered.
The black-haired boy looked at the bard on the stage and whispered softly: "Sheila, don't tell it."
The girl hugged her brother's arm tightly, looked around, and nodded solemnly to show that she understood what he meant.
