Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 574

[Chapter 571 View and adjust the project progress bar]

David agreed to Kara and asked Kara what kind of world she wanted to go to.

Kara didn’t care about this. She even asked David if he could take her with him when he went out with Hu Huishan next time.

Of course, she would not disturb David. She could fly to the outside of the earth alone to bask in the sun until David was ready to return to Winter City.

“…”

Seeing Kara’s posture, she wished that she would follow David every time he went to a new world. She was not going to be a light bulb, but just make reasonable use of all the time she could bask in the sun.

David agreed and said that he would call Kara when he set off. Kara happily asked David if there was anything else he could help with?

After hearing that there was no one, Kara flew away directly, ready to go back and pack up her clothes and other items in advance, so that she could leave immediately after receiving the message.

David continued to run around and prepare the positioning props he needed.

After a long time of busy work, even going to the Marvel Universe for a tour, David, who was finally ready, did not rush to find Hu Huishan, but called Elizabeth Swan and greeted the current head of the police department in Winter City.

Elizabeth had been prepared for the reorganization of the police department.

The construction of Winter City was very fast, and she had gradually felt overwhelmed. After all, she was not a professional in this field. She was able to hold on for so long because, firstly, the environment of Winter City was relatively simple in the early stage of construction, and secondly, she was very smart and could barely cope with various emergencies.

In addition, she had her father Weatherby, who had rich political experience, to consult, so she barely maintained the law and order in Winter City.

Of course, the key was the support of His Majesty King David Glamorgan for Elizabeth, which allowed her to let go.

But with the increasing number of permanent residents and the increasing complexity of the population composition, Elizabeth has realized that she will have to give up her position sooner or later.

Of course, David will not dismiss Elizabeth and leave her idle. She has worked in this position for several years, and has made many contributions to the development and construction of Winter City. She should be rewarded according to her merits.

When David was leaking some information to Elizabeth, he made it clear that Elizabeth would serve as the director or minister of the newly reorganized police department for a period of time.

But the specific work will be gradually handed over to the people below, and after a few years of smooth transition, she will be transferred to other positions.

David will respect Elizabeth’s ideas about this position and ask her if there is any position she is interested in.

“What do you think of me being a captain?”

“Captain?”

“Yes, I used to be very envious of those pirates who can freely adventure on the sea.” Elizabeth was not embarrassed. She had been in Winter City for several years. She knew the situation in the city very well. Everyone probably knew her “personality”, so there was no need to be embarrassed to say it out loud: “Of course I won’t go out to be a pirate now, but if I can become a captain, it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish.”

Moreover, commanding a warship to soar in the universe is definitely more exciting than just wandering around the Caribbean Sea.

“Then you have to study the relevant knowledge well in the past few years.”

“Of course, if my grades are not up to standard, I will not have the face to take such an important position.” Considering that the captains of the first few warships currently planned to be built in Winter City have been determined, Elizabeth wants to wait for her own warship for a few years.

She can think about the name of her warship in advance?

Is it called Caribbean? Or Royal Caribbean? This is a very important question, she needs to think about it carefully…

After sending Elizabeth away, David talked with Weatherby Swan, Gareth Stanton, and Sylvanas.

At present, there are no major changes in the internal affairs of Winter City. It is still mainly based on the steady absorption of civilians from the world of the Matrix, interspersed with civilians absorbed from other regions of the Brunnia continent.

The overall development plan is still centered on the northern plains. As for the territory of the former Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, it is good to stabilize the situation for the time being.

It takes time to completely transform these people of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt into subjects of the Kingdom of Winter. As long as it is ensured that there are no residual forces in the Kingdom of Gaunt and the Temple that repeatedly create influence, these people will sooner or later become real winter people.

“The army must be expanded.”

Gareth Stanton, who has been promoted to general and no longer serves as the head of the Winter Knights, said that the Winter Legion must steadily recruit new soldiers in the next few years and continuously expand the size of the army to meet the future needs of the Kingdom of Winter.

Not to mention the decision of His Majesty the King to start sending troops to other worlds, just to ensure the stability of the current vast territory of the Kingdom of Winter, an astonishing number of standing soldiers are needed.

In addition, the continuous recruitment of soldiers to expand the army, in a way, also creates stable jobs for Winter City, which can ensure the stability of Winter City’s law and order.

People are constantly migrating from the world of The Matrix, and there is no shortage of people who lack skills or cannot integrate into the life of Winter City in a short period of time. These people are unstable factors.

In addition to the continuous opening of new factories, the Winter Army is actually a very good choice. As long as they are willing to join the army, they may have a better future than ordinary jobs.

“We plan to increase the number of soldiers in the Winter Legion to around 30,000 in the next few years…”

“Too conservative.” 30,000 people may be a very scary number for someone like Gareth who was born and raised in Brunnia. But for David and the future Winter City, this number of people is not enough.

“Let’s work hard for 100,000 people first.”

“…”

As for whether Winter City can support an army of 100,000? David is not worried.

The agricultural area of Winter City has been expanding. In fact, new land is being reclaimed into farmland every day in the entire northern plains. This is the result of Winter City’s deliberate control of the speed, otherwise the farmland would be several times more than it is now.

The key is that the output of farmland in Winter City has been increasing. The yield of various crops has not decreased but has continued to grow. In addition, since David established Winter City, the Kingdom of Winter has not suffered any natural disasters, ensuring a stable supply of various foods.

Not to mention, when necessary, food can be “imported” from other worlds.

Winter City has sufficient food and a wide variety of food. With official control, ordinary people in Winter City don’t have to worry about eating. This creates a stable basic lower limit, which gives David the confidence to expand the army by 100,000.

Even 100,000 troops are just a beginning. After all, the Kingdom of Winter will unify the world in the future, and 100,000 troops scattered across the planet are not enough.

The minimum standard in the future must be one million. If you want to develop into the vast universe, the number of soldiers must be even greater.

By that time, Brunnia alone may not be able to provide sufficient troops, and David may recruit soldiers from other worlds.

The same words, after talking to Gareth, were mentioned to Floyd and Sylvanas.

According to David’s requirements, the Winter Knights need to steadily expand to a size of 5,000 in the next few years; the Dilan Knights must expand to at least 10,000.

“…”

When the two heard David’s words, their reactions were similar, thinking that David had said the wrong number.

After repeatedly confirming that His Majesty the King was not joking, they began to seriously think about how to achieve the indicators set by His Majesty the King.

Compared with the Winter Legion’s goal of 100,000 people, the Winter Knights and the Tiran Knights have to spend more time to complete this task because of their high requirements for the quality of their members.

For example, Floyd began to seriously consider whether to use his connections to ask Steve and Rumlow to return to his world to abduct a group of special talents; Sylvanas was also seriously thinking about whether to return to Azeroth to recruit new soldiers? Also, should he persuade his sister Vereesa to join Winter City and help him?

In this way, maybe he could also trick Rhonin to stay? By the way, recruit some mages from Dalaran to form a mage regiment?

As for the Spartan heavy infantry, they were recently brought back to the Kingdom of Greece by Helen and her two brothers, and are currently expanding the territory of the Kingdom of Greece along the Mediterranean coast.

In other words, they are establishing merits for the Kingdom of Winter. David is considering expanding the Spartan heavy infantry regiment directly on the spot. As for the extent to which it can be expanded, it depends on Helen and her two brothers Pollux and Castor. As

for the Winter Air Force and the Winter Navy.

At present, the Air Force has recruited a lot of “old pilots” from immigrants in the world of the Matrix. They are currently undergoing various training and screening to see how many will remain and then decide how many pilots to recruit in the second batch.

As for the Navy, there is no choice at present. Basically, all the recruits will be able to board the ship in the future. It will be the same for quite some time. The survival of the fittest and so on will probably not be implemented within ten years.

After meeting all of them, the last people to be summoned were Van Cleef, Natasha and Ethan. These three intelligence department directors and deputies should be the hardest people in the next period of time.

In addition to continuing to train intelligence personnel, they are responsible for investigating the intelligence of the Sodurenma Empire, the New Alan Federation, the Orcs and the Evernight Empire.

Lay the foundation for the Kingdom of Winter to pacify the entire Brunnia in a few years.

Van Cleef and Black Widow Romanoff naturally had no objection, only Ethan was embarrassed.

He was only a part-time worker in Winter City, and he became one of the senior executives of Winter City without knowing it. It always felt weird.

In addition, David did not hide his intention to attack other worlds. Ethan felt that he had unknowingly become a guide. Would his world sooner or later become the target of Winter City?

David saw Ethan’s thoughts and comforted him: “I will not attack the ‘stable’ world.”

Winter City’s targets are mainly worlds that need to be ‘saved’ like The Matrix and Red Alert, which made Ethan secretly relieved.
