——

The time has come to the 1508th year of the Haiyuan Calendar!

January 1st!

Beginning of the new year!

The study of the Royal Palace of St. Martin.

"Not bad!" Looking at the overall strength report of Saint Martin in front of him, Arthur nodded with satisfaction,

in the past time.

The population of the Kingdom of St. Martin has doubled to 4.8 million!

Among them, there are 3.8 million in the West Sea belonging to the Kingdom of Saint Martin, and the remaining 1 million were recruited in the name of the Luling Kingdom in the South China Sea!

And the annual income of St. Maarten has also reached from more than 19 billion St. Maarten coins at the end of 1502 to the end of last year, that is, more than 60 billion St. Maarten coins in 1507!

It seems that it has only tripled, and there is no exaggeration of the previous increase, but Arthur is already very satisfied!

The reason why the previous increase was so great was entirely because the size of the Kingdom of St. Martin was small before, so the increase seemed exaggerated.

But with the passage of time, the income of St. Martin, which is getting bigger and bigger, has gradually returned to normal!

Of course, this is normal, and the increase is much larger than that of most kingdoms!

However, in this report, what Arthur is most satisfied with is the military!

It's been five years!

Before St. Martin, there were only two armies and one naval fleet, almost 40,000 people!

But now, the army has five armies and the navy has eight fleets, and the total number of troops has reached an astonishing 180,000!

However, among these armies, there is an army and a navy in the South China Sea, that is, under the banner of the Luling Kingdom, as the army of the Luling Kingdom!

In other words, on Saint Martin's side, there are only four armies and five fleets that can be used in the West Sea, with a total of more than 126,000 people!

Well, the two less fleets are in the air island, led by the chief of naval staff Eldi, to fight against the air island!

At present, these two fleets have occupied more than 70% of the empty island!

Well, according to Eldi's own prediction, in the next five years, St. Martin will completely occupy the empty island!

And the above military power is only the calculation of Saint Martin and Luling Kingdom.

In fact, there are two other parts of St. Martin's military power that are listed separately in the report and are not put together, that is, the navy of the Whitney Kingdom and the World Government!

Among them, the Whiting Kingdom is listed separately, except that the Whiting Kingdom is different from the Luling Kingdom, and most of the rights are still controlled by the original Whiting Kingdom Princess, now Queen Hathaway of the Whiting Kingdom. , St. Martin is only controlling the kingdom's army, inserting his own people in important parts of the kingdom, and threatening Vivian who now lives in St. Martin, but also because the army development model of the Whitt Kingdom is different from that of St. Martin!

Saint Martin's army development model is to recruit one by one, after rigorous training, and finally become a full-fledged soldier!

However, the army development model of the Kingdom of Whitby is based on fighting for war!

What is war for war?

That is, every time the Whitt Kingdom conquered a kingdom, all the youths of the entire kingdom were forcibly joined into the kingdom's army, and everything in the conquered kingdom was taken away, sold, and exchanged for military supplies to support the army. Then armies go out and take other kingdoms, and the cycle goes on and on!

In the past time, the Whitt Kingdom eliminated seven surrounding small kingdoms with populations ranging from 100 to 300,000, and eliminated a large kingdom with a population of about 700,000, occupying large tracts of land and islands at the same time. , and the population has grown like a snowball to 1.8 million!

Among them, a full 60 are the army!

Of course, this development model contains a big crisis!

That is, the military equipment and combat effectiveness are very poor. Don't look at 600,000, but in fact, if you are in a head-to-head battle, as long as Arthur dispatches two or three troops, you can get it all done!

Also, logistics is a problem!

The food and drink of 600,000 troops is not a small amount!

Even though the Whitt Kingdom has conquered a lot of kingdoms and seized a lot of materials, it will not last long. Once their fighting steps are blocked, if they are blocked in a certain kingdom, the food crisis of the army will be exposed almost immediately!

Simply put, there is behind-the-scenes support in the Kingdom of Whitby. In the past five years, Arthur has dug a subway between the seabed between Saint Martin and the Kingdom of Whitby underground to connect the two kingdoms!

Every year, because the Druid-Linnaeus joined, and the production surged, Arthur took out about half of the food that the entire Saint Martin could not eat and sent it to the Kingdom of Whitby, Feed all the armies!

And the other is listed separately is the world government's navy!

A long time ago, Arthur began to infiltrate the navy and replaced the naval branch of St. Martin with his own!

And in the past few years, Arthur's naval penetration of the West Sea has not stopped!

Starting from the naval branch of St. Martin, all the officers of the nearby naval bases have gradually become their own people!

At present, there are more than 20 large and small naval bases in the West Sea, with a total of more than 150,000 navies, all of which are from St. Martin!

To sum up!

The entire force that Saint Martin can mobilize in the West Sea is probably the 120,000-strong Saint-Martin army, the 150,000-strong navy, and the 600,000-strong Whit Kingdom motley army, which adds up to nearly one million troops!

Among them, the most powerful army is undoubtedly St. Martin's army, followed by the World Government Navy, and the worst is the 600,000 Whit Kingdom army!

"call--"

Putting down the report in his hand, Arthur let out a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes couldn't help but fascinated, and murmured, "Looks like it's time for a war, a war that will change the entire West Sea! "
