On the sea at 10 a.m. on the 9th.

The commander of the Royal Fleet breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the port being quickly taken down and immediately generated electricity to His Majesty the Emperor. Then he came to Xishui Port in person and congratulated Zhouyou for his victory.

Within the past ten hours, the fleet commander lost a warship in the battle. In order to eliminate the rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor was very tolerant of the forces that he took the initiative to attach himself, but he clearly had rewards and punishments within the military system he directly under, especially to the incompetent. The captain commander now needs Zhouyou very much and speaks a few good words for himself in the battle report.

There are patrolling motorized unmanned troops everywhere in the port. This small army with gray camouflage metal plates has a very industrial aesthetic. The machine guns and small-caliber mortars they carry are all on their metal bulbs and can eject from the mechanical cover as needed. In peacetime, the officers locked the weapon system, and the army was a very smooth motorcycle.

Being handsome means fighting power.

The troops of the Burning Wheel are much better than those of the black-armored reptiles in the Height Claw family. Now the remaining craters on the street are full of broken legs and broken organs. This smells like a foul cockroach.

Of course, civilians dare not get too close to these giant insects when they are alive.

People in the city quickly accepted this kind of motorcycle. Of course, Zhouyou acquiesced the soldiers and asked these motorcycles to do some transportation and other work for the residents in the city.

These beautiful and capable "big animals" also won a good impression on the occupying army.

Zhouyou operates this place as its own base on land, and it will not be too cruel here in terms of emotion or reason.

The non-commissioned officers of the Rolling Roll blocked the databases as soon as possible. The soldiers in pure black military uniforms walked into the door that the Guworms broke open, searched for information in a very "cultural way", and then asked the prisoners who were coerced by the infantry war Gu to assist in sorting them out.

The information to be collected by the Burning Wheel includes:

1. Household registration, geography, craftsman situation. Well, there is no such thing. Just ask the nobles to fill out the form, who do they use to decorate their own gardens, and who do they use to make furniture.

2. There is no hydrological situation here, so I will find a port tax official, which one goes to sea to catch shrimp (a type of gu) and gives me the list. The climate information for the four seasons, well, most of them are not.

3. Local official duties are to be flexible and find the connection from the chaotic people. There are a lot of work in Xishui Port. A large number of municipal staff followed have rushed here.

Now the students of Xinzhu have temporarily replaced the work here. The craters need to be cleaned, casualties need to be counted, and follow-up arrangements for citizens in the occupied areas...

The heavy work can make these guys from Xinzhu understand: they can fight well in wartime, but become busy after the war.

Zhouyou arranged for Xinzhuang to do this, saying, "After the war, after-war work can help you curb unnecessary damage during wartime**."

This kind of education is pretty good. Zhou You probably won’t be like the Japanese Malu in the next siege, and these students will not be like the Japanese Malu, and will be brainlessly bombarded and destroyed. — Accurate destruction is the king.

In the municipal department of Streamport.

Zhou You looked at the sand table in the hall and asked Xinzhu in an assessment tone: "How should we deploy the military Gu nest next?"

Xin Zhu: "Teacher, your Majesty let us continue to go north along the offensive line. But, I think, we need to consolidate here."

Although this boy was still awe of the emperor's majesty, he was already quite ambitious under the guidance of the Zhouyou industry. Born as a sub-class that the floating nobles did not admit, he is now without awe of the nobles' orders. This is why Zhouyou decided to bring him to his side to teach.

Although he still has some shortcomings, it is basically impossible to have a perfect person under the education of affiliated civilizations. If you want to rely on a perfect person to change, it is too harsh for civilization.

The idea of ​​Xinzhu is very simple: since you have landed, take advantage of the situation and directly wipe out a large number of weak chicken families in the neighboring areas.

Zhou You rolled his eyes and said to him: "What are you worried about? After spending a lot of effort, the emperor will turn against you and refuse to give him a fiefdom, so he is going to rob him first? Or are you worried that someone around you will secretly accumulate abilities and take the opportunity to eat when the battle is both defeated?"

Zhou You pointed at himself, pointed at Xinzhu, and said, "Everything starts from the perspective of our strategic interests, and not follow the baton given by others and other interests pointed out. When the general marchs, don't think about beating a rabbit."

Xinzhu lowered his head honestly. However, Zhou You raised his hand and held his chin, letting him look at the book on the table.

Zhou You took a photo at Xiahong Island: "What is our core competitiveness? The Linlong Guworm? Or the fiefdom? It is not. It is a thinking mode and an industrial mode. There is no mechanical device loading in the entire continent that has more than ours. This is our unique advantage. Our strategic purpose is to maintain this advantage. How to maintain this advantage? What is the key?"

Xinzhu was stunned and said, "Industrial population. So we are here to grab people. However, we are now capturing more areas, and we are also heading towards the population area--"

Zhou You: "Snatching people is not about controlling a group of people, but also about catching the heart! People can move, especially when the order of war collapses. If you steal the population and have to look at them forcibly, it is too inefficient. However, you have to prove that you have a future here... People will naturally move towards you."

Information is listed on the table, which is the gathering of the surrounding population. All the forces around are absorbing resources, obviously they are trying to expand their troops to make profits. No force is now aiming to absorb population. In other words, in the field of human resources application, the Ranlun Group currently has no opponents, so it can let go.

Zhou You pointed to the map: "How much land is granted to us by His Majesty the Emperor, it actually does not depend on how important we are to cooperate with him, but on how important we are, and even more so to the people in this area. Our current location strategy is very important, so everyone is staring at us, so we must play a more important role in the next step." Zhou You's war chess is pushing forward, towards the core area ahead.

This war game promotion was neither to cooperate with the emperor's front-line corps to make a feint attack nor to seize the surrounding areas, but to directly intersperse into the core area of ​​the central central of the imperial rebels.

Xinzhu looked at the map and couldn't keep up for a while. This was really too bold in strategy.

Although the troops landed in Zhouyou are first-class elite, there are definitely not many. Compared with the battle line where hundreds of thousands of insects are fighting around, they can only be regarded as a cluster of straw piles.

But now we have to use the time point to penetrate forward to the most critical position, and finally, we must appear in the protagonist's position.

If this bold strategy is successful, it will cause the Second Prince's Southern Alliance Army to collapse significantly.

Zhou You took photos of the film "Strategically, after you recognize yourself, don't be timid in front of your opponent. You can only attach great importance to your opponent tactical attention."

Xinzhu is very honest and saluted: "Teacher, I won't let you down."

Now in front of the mentor, Xinzhu has no ambition at all because he found that what was in his abacus was too small compared to the mentor's strategic perspective. If he had planned it himself, he would definitely be arranged clearly by the mentor from beginning to end.

Xin Zhu (Ao Ran): In this world, there is only one mentor who can make me like this!

"Ding Dong."

Someone outside the Governor's Office rang the doorbell.

Zhou You glanced out the window and said, "The people of the Empire are here. You raise your head and meet the Empire."

...

In the servant residence next to the city hall, Zhou You met with the empire of the empire. Why is it the servant room? Because in the office of the municipal governor, a large number of members were busy working there, and rows of desks were filled with documents and materials. The war was urgent, and the local stability work was also urgent.

Zhou You could only pick up the residences of servants next to the Governor's Office to meet guests.

When the empire of the empire entered this small space, he did not show any discomfort of being "neglected". After all, he could see the atmosphere on the side of Zhouyou.

The war is urgent now, and His Majesty the Emperor has dealt with dozens of ineffective officials in the army in the past few months. Who dares to be inconsistent with the priority?

The waiter saw the very straight-shaped Zhouyou sitting on the seat, and the two students standing straight behind, Xinzhu and Herta, which was very "military popularity".

The messenger praised: "Adults have excellent martial arts skills, and this battle will surely become a new star in the empire."

Zhou You nodded: "My Lord Messenger has gone too far. The Black Pin Family is careless in defense of the Xishui Port. Also, thanks to the firepower support of the Imperial Navy, I would still be floating on the sea now."

After a few polite recourses.

Messenger: "May I ask, when will you continue to go north?"

Zhou You opened the book and paused and said, "Master, we have just established ourselves here and need to stabilize the defense line to prevent the rebels from counterattacking. Of course, as long as we are here, we will do our best to restrain His Majesty from the side and rear."

Zhou You told the plan that the core plant had just prepared, and Heta was stunned. He didn't react for a moment and thought to himself: "Why has it changed now just now?"

And Xinzhu is very smart. He stood behind Zhou You without looking sideways, and even nodded slightly when Zhou You explained this strategic plan - cooperating with Zhou You to deceive the messenger.

[In war, sometimes what you say to others is not necessarily true. And a real strategy does not necessarily mean it is said to allies. Zhouyou is not at ease with the security of the emperor's intelligence.]

The envoy was not very satisfied with this answer, but he was still prepared. After all, the princes in this world had more or less concerned about their own capital, and Zhouyou was already very loyal among many nobles.

Of course, the envoy did not give up his efforts and made a tactful statement: "Your Majesty hopes that Lord Viscount (emphasized tone) can go further."

The messenger's expression at this moment makes this "go further" have a dual meaning.

Zhou You nodded and said, "Well, I will not let Your Majesty down. After our army detects the surrounding strategic situation, we will immediately take new military actions. But our army does not lack some necessary assistance now."

At this point - the logistics needs that had been listed were handed over to the messenger.

...

Three hours later.

In the legion that went south of the empire, the military command train was in the ornate command carriage.

The emperor, who was sitting at the table, picked up the telegram and learned exactly the situation of the port of Xishui Port and Zhou You's attitude after achieving military victory.

The emperor pondered for a few seconds and thought about the various situations in the battle report. Then he took a pen to list some details. His Majesty, who was extremely busy, could personally analyze the situation in Xishui Port, which shows that this strategic position is very important.

In addition to not considering the strategy of the universe, His Majesty the Emperor has figured out the basic situation. Including how the warship was hit on the bow, it was also inferred from the intelligence provided by other fleets.

In order to promote this victory, he did not punish the flagship chief who concealed the news.

Of course, if the flagship leader wants to ask for me in the future, he will throw the things recorded in this small notebook directly to him.

‘The strategic node of Xishui Port must be stable’, the emperor came to this conclusion. He followed the logistics needs of Zhouyou and transferred more transport ships to Zhouyou. Of course, he also prepared to let his confidants take a wave of strength to Xishui Port and bite it there.

After making the decision on this secondary strategic direction, the emperor's eyes returned to the main offensive front on the strategic map in front of him.

Now twenty general mother nests are heading south along the railway line. Each general mother nest has tens of thousands of insect swarms under the command chain, and are equipped with more than a thousand artillery guns.

The empire is using thunder to suppress the rebellion, and the second prince group is also carrying out desperate resistance. Both sides are hoarding more than 300,000 to 400,000 Gu insect troops and strangling them repeatedly.

...

The perspective returns to the rear, Xiahong Island.

Before sending troops, the merchant class on Xiahong Island was actually worried. Although Lanlun's strength steadily suppressed the floating family on the island.

But Zhou You rashly joined the royal war, which seemed more like a big gamble, and 99% of merchants would not do a huge adventure. However, Zhou You, a guy who collected everyone's funds, rashly joined the battlefield.

Of course, before capital began to panic, Zhouyou successfully landed on the southern line, which caused good news to the market.

Although the southern line was still alone at this time, landing on the battlefield and successfully annihilated the enemy, this means that the other side of the Rising Wheel is at this time, accompanied by huge profits!

This result can already make thirty percent of capital forces dare to end up and bet.

At noon on the 9th, the first batch of war bonds issued by Xiahong Island were bought by well-informed merchants. - Xiahong Island is a crossroads, and the ones who bought this bond were merchants on the entire coast.

Next, the ramp will support this gambling with a large area of ​​coastal areas. It will wield excessive funds to dispatch merchants in the northeast to supply logistics and ensure production.

The war potential of the Lanlun is not just an island, but the British Empire, which is similar to the World War, has to fight with its opponents with half of its world's material capabilities.

Moreover (emphasis), the burning wheel is not the gold standard. Zhouyou, which holds a large amount of silver production capacity, has already calculated how to repay the loan in the future.

On Xiahong Island, the princess (Yuqian) from Lie Loaf family felt relieved when she saw the good news on the front line, and at the same time became much more energetic. Within a day, she said six times to the waiter who came from the family: "He will not be defeated if he leads the army to fight." However, everyone could see that this was "what he emphasizes is something he is worried about."
