"Helian, this battle is indeed difficult to fight. I haven't seen the Luzons pose in a clear posture, putting on a flowery stand, always talking but not practicing, there is a limit to acting. What should Frederick pay attention to?" Hu Yanqiu supported his elbow on the table, and gently twisted his hands on the brown-yellow beard under his jaw. His thoughtful eyes moved from east to west, as if he wanted to find some doubts from it.

Helianbo has always been a little confused about this issue, but the information from the Military Intelligence Bureau has long reported Wufeng in the imperial capital. His Highness the King of Qin has also arrived to ensure the safety of Northern Luzon and not fall into the enemy. He also needs to ensure the stability of Northern Luzon at the cost of giving up the East Tengri Grassland. It seems that His Highness the King of Qin attaches great importance to the bridge connecting the Indian and German areas, and this heavy burden on his shoulders also makes Helianbo feel a bit heavy.

"You have to fight if you are not easy to fight. Your Highness has made clear instructions to ensure that the Volcano Mansion, Shuangdui and Vito are in our hands. We must not let the Luzons and the Cormini plans succeed. We must also discuss how to fight this battle."

Helianbo sighed, and while asking people to bring the detailed maps of the various prefectures, he continued to complain: "Two hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, it seems that His Highness regards us as an iron army. The combat effectiveness of the Luzon army may not be outstanding, but Frederick is indeed capable. Even his brother, Youli and his cousin, Kruff, were convinced by him and willing to give him military command. Let's not talk about Youli. Kruff is a famous wise and brave couple in the Andes region.

All, this level of trust alone is enough to prove Frederick's extraordinaryness. When you fight with such a guy, you have to think about his intention at any time. In this way, all our energy will be trapped by him, passive and beaten step by step. But we don't have the strength to act according to our will. Even though we know that the other party intends to mobilize your attention like this, you have to follow the other party's steps step by step. Have you ever fought such a battle?"

"Helian, don't be too unsatisfied. If every battle is smooth, what do you and me do? Tell you, like Lao Mu and others stay in the Peninsula Alliance, there is nothing to do now, is this kind of life comfortable? I don't know that soldiers are born to fight wars, and they have to fight hard wars and fight hard battles. Only then can they be called soldiers. Those who stay in the Military Affairs Office and the General Staff all day long, write and draw, design several plans, and arrange some personnel adjustments. This is also called Junran. This kind of life is asked to Hu Yanqiu to enjoy, and I can't bear it. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in bed.

A hundred times stronger! I remember an old saying, a general who died of old age in the hospital bed may be a blessing for the whole society, because it represents peace, but for a soldier, it is an indelible shame!" Hu Yanqiu's voice gradually rose to a high point in the end, obviously a little excited. It is a challenge in itself, not to mention that the enemy has a talented genius general in command, and such a battle is interesting, "Helian, why not let my Indian De'an Legion guard Shuangdui and Volcano Mansion, but that reserve division must be left for me, how about you guard Vito?"

After hearing Hu Yanqiu's excitement, Helianbo immediately became a little annoyed, "Hu Yan, what are you saying? Do you despise my Second Legion? You are a broken legion, and you are a guest from afar, but you have to guard more than two-thirds of the place. You obviously want my Second Legion to be unable to raise your head in the Western Army for the rest of your life, right?"

"Hehe, who made you always complain there?! If you don't accept it, then just expose your anger on the Luzons and the Comines. I want to compete with you to see if your Second Legion is stronger or my Indian Legion kills more enemies!" Hu Yanqiu was also a ghostly smile, which made Helian Bo feel uncomfortable. That anger was also held in his stomach, and he wanted to make the other party feel happy. After the battle is over, let's discuss who is the hero in the world!

Starting from Shuangdui Prefecture, the southeast road is more than 200 miles away from Manlong, the city of Manlong, the important northern town of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. Originally, this was just a small city in central Luzon, and its location was not very important. However, since the loss of Northern Luzon, it has become the first pass to connect Northern Luzon by the Luzon people. It is 260 miles northwest from Shuangdui Prefecture of Northern Luzon, and the northwest is the so-called Northern Luzon County Volcanic Mansion built by the Tanghe people. A small place that was originally just a transit village actually became the central hub of Northern Luzon, with a straight line distance of only 170 miles from Manlong. In the northeast, Vito, the only city in Northern Luzon during the Grand Duchy of Luzon, is still the largest city in Northern Luzon.

Although the war clouds were more or less affected, the merchants had the most sensitive sense of smell. When they heard that the Luzon army was mobilizing the war in an all-round way, the merchants had a premonition, and in response to it, the Cominians also carried out a full-scale military mobilization. What does this mean? The Pasha people in the south are still entangled with the people of the Southern Alliance, and the natural chasms of the rivers in the south have been broken through by the Pasha people and the Luzon people. Both sides consciously strengthened the defense of the river to avoid similar phenomena. So, such a large-scale military mobilization would be targeted at no question. Besides, the Luzon military seemed to have also determined that Li Wufeng, the ruler of the Northern Luzon, is now unable to look west, and can make various preparations in an orderly manner, and even coordinate time and fighter jets with his allies. It is really easy, at least from the current performance.

However, as long as the war does not begin one day, merchants still have to do everything possible to carry out their own business track. Even if the war begins, many businesses will not be abolished. At most, the risks will be greater and the procedures will be more troublesome, but profits will also increase accordingly, which will not affect the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of merchants.

It has been more than a day since Kruff accompanied his cousin to Manlong City to inspect military affairs. He is becoming increasingly unable to understand his cousin. The military is very fast. The large-scale military mobilization in China has basically ended. Everything is ready to stop. Just waiting for him to issue orders, he repeatedly asked to increase the intensity of inspections to ensure that there is no problem. Time has been dragged by day by day. So far, the number of troops gathered in Manlong City is less than 80,000, and the increase is extremely slow. Today, a team of 10,000 people was transferred, but they are all reserve troops. Such an army may be barely enough to defend, but it seems difficult to launch an attack on the Western Xinjiang city, which makes Kruff puzzled.

The military mobilization of the Cominians was gradually coming to an end, but his cousin still seemed to have no expression. At first, Kruff thought that his cousin did not believe in the efficiency of the Cominians and intended to wait until the Cominians mobilized, but now it doesn't look like it. Kruff's heart moved. Could it be that his cousin really wait for another ally Luo Beiren, who is looming?

Looking at the people from inside and outside of Manlong, Frederick always had a thoughtful expression on his cheeks as handsome as a charming woman, as if he was calculating the ins and outs of all this in front of him.

"Kroof, in my impression, this Manlong city seems to be an ordinary city. Even after the loss of Northern Luzon, Manlong has only become more important in its strategic position. But looking at the scene in front of us, it has increased more than twice as much as the prosperous scene here in the past two years? Tell me what the reason is."

It seemed that my cousin still had the heart to ask these questions that were incompatible with the war at this time. Kroof thought for a while before reluctantly answering: "This is a special reason. First of all, the loss of Northern Luzon actually pushed Manlong into the position of a frontier first-tier city. Moreover, its location was moderate, just radiating to the three cities established by the Tanghe people in the North Luzon, especially after the so-called Volcanic Mansion in Northern Luzon County, it was less than two hundred miles away from Manlong, which was close. Well, the Tanghe people spent a lot of money to build the central city of Luzon from Shuangdui to Manlong at all costs.

They even expressed their willingness to build the roads into our territory, but we did not agree. In this way, the road conditions in our territory will be slightly worse. Now they are starting to build the roads from volcano to Manlong. Due to the opening of these roads, our traditional goods have also begun to divert the business roads from Comine to the western continent, and the channels required have also undergone some changes. Especially in the Central and Northern Luzon regions, it should be said that this has a great impact. Grain, coffee, tobacco, sugar, and wood have become bulk materials for export to the north, and there are even some fragmented things such as the sap and fruits on some trees. Tanghe people are also importing a large number of them."

"Oh?" Crove's last sentence caught Frederick's attention, "Sap and fruit? Are there any special circumstances?"

"I have also sent an intelligence team to reconnaise, but it has not achieved any results. However, the sap of the jelly tree should be related to the rubber developed by the Tanghe people. However, this kind of process is very precise and complex research that is not what we are good at. We are just suspicious and cannot verify it ourselves. As for the fruit, it seems to be called cinchona fruit, which is said to be medicinal, and it is also the poppy fruit. The Tanghe people call it Afurong fruit, but this poppy fruit seems to be all conducted through smuggling channels and has not been approved there." Kroof's familiarity with this situation surprised Frederick.
