Chapter 866 The true strength of the Principality of Fulu
In the living room on the first floor of the lord's cabin, Qu Mao communicated with Sylvia Ocean and Shanks Reid about Shanks Reed's fleet to deliver food to the Principality of Fulu.
Shanks Reid's food delivery mission lasted for nearly four months. Although Qu Mao didn't ask too much about the specific situation, he has always maintained a high degree of attention.
After exchanging some basic information with Shanks Reid, Qu Mao took a sip of tea from his teacup, and after putting down the cup, Qu Mao asked seriously: "Shanks, since the King of Flu You, I think you have stayed in the Fulu Principality for a long time, so what do you think of the current real strength of the Fulu Principality?"
Shanks Reid also took a sip of tea, put down his teacup, and said, "My lord, when I met Master Fuer on the way to the Principality of Fulu, I briefly exchanged this question.
When I went to the Principality of Fulu this time, my subordinates have learned about this aspect, and made a certain degree of judgment on the current strength of the Principality of Fulu. Of course, this is only a personal judgment of the subordinates. "
Qu Mao said: "Well, Shanks, don't have any scruples, let me hear your judgment."
Sylvia Ocean also picked up her teacup, drinking tea while looking at Shangus Reed with interest.
Shanks Reid said: "My lord, the King of the Principality of Fulu once said to his subordinates, 'Accumulate food widely, become king slowly', but his subordinates actually didn't understand.
However, from the point of view of the subordinates, the combined strength of the Fulu Principality and the Fulu Alliance controlled by the Fulu Principality is far from being comparable to an empire of aboriginal powers, but the Fulu Principality is still only a principality at present. Not upgraded to a kingdom or empire.
The subordinates don't quite understand what the King of the Fulu Principality means by "accumulating grain widely and becoming king slowly", but they understand it literally, or that the current grain reserves of the Principality of Fulu are not enough, so the Principality of Fulu has not been upgraded to kingdom or empire. "
Qu Mao chuckled a few times, even though he was a complete scumbag in another world, Qu Mao had heard of "accumulate food widely and become king slowly", so Qu Mao said to Shanks Reid: "Shank Si, don't worry about this statement, your understanding is not bad.
Let’s talk about the military strength of the Principality of Fulu in detail. I wonder if you have any understanding and judgment on the military strength of the Principality of Fulu? "
Shanks Reid said: "My lord, in terms of military affairs, my subordinates can only say what they see.
To be honest, the naval power of the Principality of Fulu may not be particularly strong. After all, the Principality of Fulu currently has only one easy port, and the coastline of the entire territory is less than 20 kilometers.
This was won by the King of the Principality of Fulu after a lot of effort, and the territory of the Principality of Fulu only has a territory less than 100 kilometers wide that leads directly to the sea. Nearly 500 kilometers of defensive forces are arranged on both sides of the border.
So many defensive fighters are also a reason for exacerbating the food crisis in the Principality of Fulu.
However, the army of the Principality of Fulu is really powerful. In order to ensure the safety of the sea port, the Principality of Fulu deployed a total of 300,000 fourth-level camel riders and fifth-level bison riders in a territory of 500 kilometers long and only 100 kilometers wide. This is just the deployment of the cavalry troops of the Principality of Fulu on this long and narrow land.
The soldiers of the garrison are generally second-tier archers and third-tier swordsmen. Although the ranks of these garrison troops are relatively low, the military discipline seen by the subordinates is no worse than that of the garrison army in Yicheng territory.
Good military discipline means that these low-level warrior troops will also explode with strong combat effectiveness, and the towns passing by along the way, regardless of their size, have built city walls.
The guards rely on the city wall for defense. The subordinates believe that it will not be a big problem to block any army of less than 100,000 ranks, unless the enemy has such a powerful magic army as our Yicheng Territory Army.
The subordinates believe that Fulu Principality is a small town with a population of only 20,000. Under the defense of the city wall and 10,000 garrison soldiers, it can easily reach the attack of 100,000 third-tier regular standing troops of the aboriginal forces for more than a month.
Of course, the premise is that the food in the town is enough to last for more than a month. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "The fourth-rank camel riders and fifth-rank buffalo riders alone are more than 300,000. This is still the troops stationed in the territory of the seaport that was captured. For a duchy like Fulu that started on the edge of the desert , it is impossible not to have a long-range legion.
From this point of view, the Principality of Fulu can only be stronger than our Yicheng territory in terms of high-level fighters, and cannot be weaker than our Yicheng territory. Maybe only the navy is slightly stronger than our Yicheng territory. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, you once said: As long as the power of the God Chosen player lord has enough gold coins, the speed of replenishing warships is very fast. The combined strength of the Principality of Fulu is comparable to the empire of the aborigines. Naturally, there is no shortage of warships." manpower.
So if the Principality of Fulu has enough gold coins, the navy will definitely develop very quickly, so the navy may not be inferior to our Yicheng territory in terms of the number of warships in the Principality of Fulu. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "That's true, fortunately, the Principality of Fulu is an ally rather than an enemy, and it is estimated that the king of the Principality of Fulu will continue to do so after he takes over some coastline territories.
Let’s find a way to help the Principality of Fulu solve the food crisis as soon as possible, so that the King of the Principality of Fulu can have enough confidence to launch a battle to expand the coastline territory again. "
Shanks Reid said: "My lord, Sir Sylvia's guess is very likely to happen. When my subordinates arrived at Yigang, the Principality of Fulu, they found that the Principality of Fulu had already built a coastline of only 20 kilometers. 5 naval barracks have been established, and 1 naval barracks has been upgraded to the second level.
It seems that the King of the Principality of Fulu is also actively recruiting and training naval fighters. As long as the warships are in place, a powerful naval fleet can be deployed anytime and anywhere. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "According to what I know about the King of the Fulu Principality, he has always been a violent soldier.
However, the Principality of Fulu is too far away from us after all, and mutual help is currently limited to food delivery. "
Sylvia Ocean and Shanks Red continued to chat with Qu Mao about the strength of the Principality of Fulu for a while, which made Qu Mao feel satisfied.
The return of Shanks Red really excited Qu Mao for a long time. On the same day, Qu Mao told Fuzhi on the lord communication channel that Shanks Red had returned.
