113 The War Is Coming

After controlling the goddess mining area of ​​Luoshan Iron Mine and Johor Bahru Pyroxene, Eilena Plain has basic self-sustainment. Gastenth pushed the factory's production capacity to the extreme. On the one hand, he prepared sufficient equipment for his production regiment and militia brigade, and on the other hand, he began to deliver equipment to Prince Eliot's troops. Because he gave up the production of Eliot's rifle, the Guard Logistics Department never stuck to the neck of Eliot's plain. At the same time, since other Honor rifle manufacturers did not use Gastenth.

The assembly line technology and the traditional full production model of skilled workers were far behind the Eilena factory in Gastenth in production speed. By late March, the production of Honor rifles at the Eilena factory accounted for one-third of the entire Ankenrien. The rifles produced here not only began to be provided to the Guards Army and the Western Theater Command, but even began to be provided to the newly established Central Theater Command. The large amount of rifles sales brought a large amount of revenue, laying a firm economic foundation for the development of Eilena.

In agriculture, serfs who have obtained citizenship now only need to submit a fixed land rent to the landlords to get all the remaining food. Everyone is also very motivated to grow grain. Gastenth basically does not need to do much in this regard. However, considering the possibility of a war breaking out this year and the need for Elena to further expand outward, he suggested that some new farmers start planting soiled potatoes, one with astringent taste but a huge yield, which can cope with famine. Although the new farmers prefer rye and wheat, they are not even aware of the taste of soiled potatoes. However, they still respect Gastenth and began to change to plant soiled potatoes according to Gastenth's instructions.

In terms of population, as Gastenth began to liberate the serfs of the Elena Plain, the original landlords were leaving one after another. They were forced and half voluntarily sold the land in their hands to Gastenth's Elena Factory. With a considerable income from selling land, they moved to the mainland. The war between Ankenrien and the Negro Republic had not yet been completed, and the rumors in the market were rumored that the rebellion in the east might break out. Under the shadow of the war in the entire country, the landlords were more inclined to exchange the land in their hands for more liquid assets.

Such as gold and kroner.

With a stable source of income, grain production can be self-sufficiency, and reactionary forces within the control range are still leaving on their own. Everything about Elena is developing in a better place. Gastenth has handled two light and heavy weapons, Thunder and Luoshan, and it can also be considered as adding double insurance to his control range. If this momentum continues, it takes less than a year, in just half a year, Elena can have the power to act externally.

But the day after he organized several company commanders to complete the military competition and gave the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company the position of Belanchele Warren, Gastens received an invitation from Elliot.

According to the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Western Theater Command troops on the Tulucas Line began to change defenses. 200,000 newly recruited soldiers will replace the veterans on the Tulucas Line and assume the task of confronting the Niglu Republic. In addition to the relatively complete establishment of the former Fifth Legion left as a combat force, the other 80,000 veterans were directly transferred by the emperor and transferred from the Western Theater Command to the western edge of the Southern Theater Command, facing the army of Roninger.

Because of the military mobilization, Prince Eliot would pass through Van Ensten, the capital of Ensten Province. As Prince Eliot's man, Gasten, no matter what, he had to go to Van Ensten, to see his backer and report on his work.

"Nothing will happen this time, right?"

Daisy asked worriedly while helping Gastenth pack his luggage. During this period, she saw Elena radiating a new and prosperous atmosphere under the leadership of Gastenth, and she realized the magic of Gastenth. Now, Gastenth is leaving Elena and going to the prince's appointment. Daisy, who has some other thoughts, is naturally a little unsupported.

"No, I have reported everything I should report when I went to Roswell with His Highness the Prince. Now our production of glory rifles is very high, and His Highness the Prince's weapons are sufficient, so nothing should happen."

Gastenth had no psychological pressure on this visit. Judging from this situation, the battle between the royal family and Roninger was about to begin. At this time, as long as he did not commit suicide, no one would cause trouble within the royal family.

"Well, that's good," Daisy nodded and gently tied the buttons for Gastenth. Although the two of them actually lived together, Gastenth refused to make special. Most of the time they were able to live separately, and there was not much time spent together. Therefore, even if it was a small matter like seeing off, Daisy would come here in person, hoping to spend more time with her lover.

"But, speaking of it, that Luna is the apprentice of the Mage Tower." Daisy remembered another thing, "I thought she would leave soon, but I didn't expect that she would stay here quite well. Except for the jokes about basic life knowledge in the first period, everything else is pretty good. Her sewing speed now is already ranked among the female workers."

"This is interesting, but there is no need to be so surprised. The apprentices of the Mage Tower are all geniuses from thousands of places. As long as she is willing to do it, this kind of thing will definitely not be difficult for her. Moreover, the Mage Tower no longer exists now, and she was kicked out of the house again. Brooklyn doesn't know where to go, so she can only stay here. It's normal not to leave."

Gastenth's intelligence work was quite clear, and she also knew about the background Luna was lying on. His answer also solved Daisy's problem. The two of them were a little gentle and said goodbye to each other. Gastenth took two company commanders, Haba Nai and Garrons Warren, and got on the carriage to Vannsten.

"Your Highness the Prince is so flattered to stay in Van Ensten for one day this time!"

At the official banquet to receive His Highness the Prince, Administrator of Ensten Province, Arrow Ross, made his opening remarks with this sentence. After that, all local forces and nobles began to talk to His Highness one by one, and they were asking about the purpose of the troops' advance eastward. Prince Eliot naturally would not tell everyone that he was going to attack his Uncle Charlie Ronin, but according to a unified caliber, he said that this was a normal transfer and the troops were resting. Gastens looked at him from a distance.

The lights and wine in the distance were bright, but he was thinking about his chances. In his first life memory, Ankenrien did not break out of civil war. Grand Duke Charlie Ronin of Ronninger finally died under the command of the famous general of the Arund Empire, Gukohein Foster. Now history has turned, and Charlie Ronin's fate has obviously changed. How should he and his Elena Plain find their place in this civil war that will surely affect the whole country?

When Prince Eliot remembered Gastens, most of the dinner time had passed. He invited Gastens to find a private room for private chat and asked about the recent production situation.

"Our production has been rising recently, and now it can stabilize at 300 per day. It can provide about 2,000 rifles to the front line in a week. And because of the Honor rifles, the logistics department has not stuck our throats, and the overall operation is smooth. There are some economic surplus, except for paying wages to workers and ensuring the normal operation of the factory, the rest have accounts and reported to Lord Nafle."

"This is all a trivial matter," Elliot said impatiently, "You have supply to the Central Military Region now, right? How much is the supply?"

"About one-third of the output was given to the Central Military Region. This is a requirement from the Logistics Department."

"One-third? Too many!" Elliott clicked the table gently, "Don't give them a production of more than a hundred, do you know?"

"Every day?" Gastens realized what Elliot meant, and he realized what he wanted to do. In the newly established Central Theater Command, the second prince Wenfeng Gibson, is the deputy commander of the theater, and formed a direct competitive relationship with Elliot. His Highness wanted to stumbling over his brother from the supply of weapons.

"Every week!" Elliot was a little impatient when he heard Gastenth's question, "You are not a fool, do you have to say such things?"

"Yes, your Highness said," Gastens nodded, "But what if there is so little, what if there is any objection from the Logistics Department or more?"

"Is there any objection? He even stopped my Elliot rifle, and I still can't get along with this matter? Besides, my second brother is not so stupid that he points to his father to help him solve the problem. Don't worry, he will definitely find other ways to supply weapons. Your Eilena factory will just be safe to produce a rifle for me."

"Yeah, I got it."

Gastens knew that the dispute between the two princes was not something he could do, although he was also worried that the two princes would have any problems with such internal conflicts when the civil war was approaching. But Prince Eliot obviously did not, and he didn't want to talk to him about this. So, after briefly talking about production issues, the master and servant said goodbye to each other. Prince Eliot will lead the army east to have the most direct collision with Charlie Ronin. Gastens will return to Elena and continue to develop his base, waiting for the most appropriate time.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince and the troops of the Western Theater Command are in place."

In the palace in Roswell, Emperor Paul Gibson was chatting with his trusted military adviser, Henry Claflyn, the Grand Duke of the Golden Lion. As a long military family of the empire with the Great Magician, Henry Claflyn had almost no obstacles. After the accident of the Mage Tower, he immediately disconnected from the Mage Tower and re-entered the line of His Majesty the Emperor. On Paul Gibson's side, since Paul Zhong, commander of the Western Theater Command, showed an attitude of obedience and disobedience, he also needed veterans like Henry Claflyn to stabilize his morale for himself.

"Is there any problem with the 100,000 veterans, plus steam cannons, dealing with the new recruits in Roninger?"

Paul Gibson was still optimistic about the civil war with Roninger. Roninger's strongest army was the First and Second Legion guarding the glacier defense line, with a total of 120,000 people. These people were tied to the border between Ankenrien and Arrant Empire, and there was almost no possibility of being drawn. The other army of Roninger, except for veterans who had been without war for many years, were the recruits who began to be recruited at the end of last year. Although the number of these people was as large as about 500,000, there was no guarantee of combat effectiveness.

"Of course there is no problem," Henry Claflyn sat on a soft stool with a respectful attitude, "But, your majesty, what I am worried about is another thing. You sent the Sixth Prince's Western Theater Command troops to the Roninger front at the same time, between them..."

"I just want them to compete for a while," Paul Gibson knew what Henry wanted to say, "They are all my sons, both Ankenryin's princes. No matter how hard they fight, they will not joke about Ankenryin's country stability. Now that Dawn is dead, I want to see who can do the best in this matter, Wenfeng and Elliott!"

"It's good if your Majesty knows it, it's because the old minister has been over-concerned."

Henry Claflyn clicked on it. Seeing that he finished speaking, Paul got up and walked to the map, and began to ask for advice on strategic matters.

"Henry, what do you think about the situation with Ronninger now?"

Henry subconsciously became nervous when he heard this question. Compared to the prince's struggle, the strategic situation is the key to prove himself. He sorted out his ideas and explained it to Paul on the map.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is quite straightforward and may not speak well. Please bear with me."

"You said," Paul looked at Henry with interest, waiting for his words.

"Charlie Ronning was wise all his life, but in the end he was confused because of his son. Ronninger had no capital to fight against Roswell, but he insisted on doing his own thing. The process of quelling the rebellion of Ronninger may be a little tortuous, but in the end, he will confess his guilt and punish him in front of your army."

"Yo—"

Paul smiled, he patted his stomach and sat back, "If you speak in such a 'righteous' way, then I won't be in a good mood."

"Your Majesty, I am not right to the right thing. Charlie Ronin is always confused. I will naturally say that he is confused. When you make a mistake one day, don't blame me for being straightforward."

"Okay, tell me quickly, how can I fight?"

When Claflyn saw the emperor's serious expression, he knew that the show had arrived. He cleared his throat and began to explain on the map.

"The Roninger region is located in the Far East of the Empire, including the three provinces of Lux, Carronliot and Annburg, and the area accounts for one-fifth of the land area. However, due to inconvenient transportation and the Far East, the economy of the Roninger region is not well developed, and many products need the support of the Roswell Economic Zone. If the civil war breaks out, there will be a large shortage of supplies in Roswell, which will affect the endurance of their war. In terms of the short-term military strength, the first and second legions of Roninger have to guard the glacier defense line. Those who can take it out are all recruits. There is also a fundamental gap in experience with veterans who have experienced the Niglu War in the Western Theater Command. From my point of view, as long as there are no major problems within us, the two princes can care about the country and compete well, and we will definitely solve the disease of Charlie Roning, a scaby! "

"good!"

Paul Gibson slapped the table gently, "Same as I thought!" He was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the eunuch who broke in. The interior officer rushed into the room in panic, and before he even had time to salute, he knelt on the ground and shouted in a panic tone.
