The good news is that the Port of Toulon Navy used the existing repaired ships to form a trial fleet (eleven large and small warships and five armed auxiliary/transport ships), and successfully hunted and killed three sea beasts for the first time out to sea; and by the way Defeats Sardinian squadron; captures four galleys.

Immediately afterwards, he followed the waterway and arrived at the North African region on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea; therefore, he is now successfully returning to Hong Kong with a full load of spoils/special products and messengers/representatives from overseas provinces (regions).What followed were opened shipping lanes and African trade routes.

But the bad news is that because of the long-term turmoil and changes in the kingdom.Coupled with the reason why a large number of overseas corps were deployed in many overseas provinces and colonial cities in order to resist the Xiluo/Northern Italian coalition forces; the size of the remaining local garrisons has been reduced to a precarious level.

Although in a short period of time, there have been no major problems, only some tribes on the edge of the inland desert caused riots; The rebellion will be set off again under the internal and external tandem.

Therefore, in the major cities and towns of the overseas provinces today, the immigrants and vassals and naturalized people from the kingdom have been armed and mobilized to varying degrees; just in case.But this level of combat readiness can only be used for a while, but it cannot meet the requirements of overseas provinces with vast land and sparse population for a long time.

Not to mention, the economic structure of the overseas provinces is relatively simple, and the industrial system is mainly plantations and mines, which are heavily dependent on the input and complementation of the kingdom itself; let alone the repair and replenishment of weapons and equipment on the spot.Therefore, although there is nothing wrong at the moment, it is difficult to hide the dangers.

Therefore, as a representative of overseas provinces, he has gone to the kingdom for help many times, but basically there is no news.It wasn't until the Toulon Navy, which was attached to the Free Army, successfully arrived at the port of Algiers, that they dispatched a joint pleading delegation in a desperate manner.

The request/presentation made by the delegation is also very simple and clear; no matter which side of the kingdom, as long as it can provide enough military assistance to the overseas province headed by Algiers, or even re-send troops to station, it can accept it. Any military and political unified orders.

Of course, for Jiang Tian, ​​even if he doesn’t care about the plantations and mine output in the overseas provinces; he can’t help but care that the overseas provinces cross the desert and go to Axum in East Africa, the Nubian countries or the city-state of Haina in West Africa. , and even go deep into the inland trade lines of the Black Continent.

This is the rulers of the Kingdom, who spent huge manpower and material resources, and died countless batches of explorers and adventure groups; also repelled and defeated countless waves of indigenous forces supported by hostile/competitors, before they developed And the mainland business route/trade line that runs through it.

What's more, it is said that on the coastline of East Africa near the Kingdom of Axum, there are subjects and territories directly belonging to the Great Empire of Eastern Cyrus.It is also where the few regimes and forces that have restored and maintained the ability to travel between the eastern and western continents after the change of the celestial sphere hundreds of years ago.

Once the overseas provinces that lack self-sufficiency and self-sustaining ability collapse or undergo structural degradation, these business routes that have been in business for many years will no longer be able to maintain.In addition, under the rule of overseas provinces, there may still be hundreds of thousands of potential soldiers who are relatively hard-working, tough and brave.

Because, in the memory of Jiang Tian himself, because the kingdom tirelessly sent out adventure groups and explorers to explore the black continent; and the rotation of the garrisons of successive generations; a large number of mixed-race abandoned children were also left in the local area; and these abandoned Children also formed a special ethnic group.

Although the kingdom has strictly restricted them from generation to generation, they can only become auxiliary troops and miscellaneous servants of the overseas corps; only a very small number of those who perform exceptionally well, or have sufficient merit, can be exceptionally awarded the official sergeant status.However, there is no problem at all with the Free Army.

In other words, the middle and upper levels of the overseas provinces today still have to guard against and guard against them; they dare not arm and use this group with all their strength; they are worried that after they gather a sufficient number, they will turn against customers and threaten the provincial government; but recruiting It's ok to come home.

In other words, such a group between the aborigines and the kingdom immigrants has never been recognized enough; it is a potential legacy and a time bomb that accumulates over time; When you shake your arms, it will explode.

Therefore, by recruiting soldiers from the kingdom itself, give them a glimmer of hope in terms of identity; at the same time, take the opportunity to transfer away members who are more capable, or have potential ambitions and demands; most of the remaining people who follow the trend, There is nothing to worry about.

Therefore, both public and private, it seems necessary for Jiang Tian to form a corps specially sent to overseas provinces; the weapons and equipment do not have to be excellent, but the physical fitness of the relevant personnel and the ability to adapt to the environment must be good enough, and the logistics support Also make sure you are relatively well prepared.

But in terms of specific candidates, Jiang Tian is thinking about whether to transfer Tiago or Podos back to serve; because they are sent to colonies/overseas provinces, and they are more used for maintenance functions such as suppression/garrison and conscription; If you are too capable, you need to be sophisticated in responding to the situation.

"Sir," however, saw Polly, a well-dressed adjutant, appearing in front of Jiang Tian on his own initiative, and knelt and said half-kneeling. "Now, in my capacity as Lieutenant Polly, I implore you to give me this honor and responsibility... and also a chance to test some of my ideas and possibilities."

"Let's put it this way, Lieutenant Polly, have you ever been to an overseas province, and have you known what kind of place it is?" Jiang Tian sighed: "I have stayed there at least for a while, and it is hot and dry all the year round, everywhere There are mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, and there are endless fevers."

"There are also those natives and tribesmen who only fear power and bravery, outlaws, desperadoes, and smugglers who roam around; do you know that Liege on the Black Continent is enough to quickly expose a naked pedestrian to the sun?" Adults. It's the easiest method of murder."

"But the most frightening thing is the sandstorm that comes and goes without a trace. Without the protection of buildings and experienced self-rescue methods, a group of people can disappear without a trace anytime and anywhere...Adjutant Polly, do you think you are , are you ready to face all this?"

"..." Lieutenant Polly/Polina heard the words, but she was silent for a while before she said: "Nevertheless, sir, I still want to try. Thank you for your high expectations and expectations for me, and there are unattainable trust; but it is, and I wish I could do more for you."

"Don't you want me to obtain credits and honors step by step under your wing all the time?" She said solemnly at this point: "Actually, I still have my own selfishness. When I heard about my brother, someone Qin Yan saw him appear in Tunisia..."

"Polly, if you want to find someone, you can entrust a professional exploration group. As long as you invest enough amount, there will always be results." Jiang Tian continued to refuse and persuade: "I have no reason to use thousands of The safety of the soldiers, to accompany you to continue the adventure..."

After all, the liquidation and pursuit of the heterogeneous will continue.This is also a great opportunity to justifiably cleanse the nobility and the church class, and separate them from the bottom knight/jazz group.This is also the main task that Jiang Tian intends to entrust to her at the moment.

However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly saw a prompt in his field of vision, which popped up out of thin air: "Polina's family affairs, the second stage (81%). Side mission: the glory of the young eagle (0%)."

"Okay!" He couldn't help but sighed heavily and changed his words: "But anyway, I order you to make all the preparations; I will find you a few experienced guides and temporary teachers from the port of Marseilles. When necessary, you must respect the judgment of the professional field, and all principles of conduct must put your own safety as the top priority; the safety of your subordinates and your responsibilities are second, and other things can be considered last; otherwise, no matter where you are, I will strip and remove your command at any time."

"Thank you, sir!" Seeing her clenching her fists and jumping happily.At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly realized and felt, similar to the complex emotions of helplessness and gratification in "Pretty Girl DreamWorks", when the daughter who worked so hard to grow up has her own ideas and opinions.

However, the next moment, when he just closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his face, as well as a somewhat stammering trembling voice: "I... I..., I don't want to compete with Ms. Malena... What. This... this... is just a thank you to the elders."

So a moment later, looking at the figure who ran away from the door again like a frightened rabbit, Jiang Tian showed an unclear smile again; after all, who can refuse the fist of a young and fit girl?However, Teresa also sneaked in after a while.

"It turns out that you are also interested in this type!" Then, seeing her holding the ugly and cute puppet, she looked at Jiang Tian with a strange look and said, "Why don't you just turn her into a puppet?" Your lover, so that you can be together every day without hindrance."

"Then, if I don't have time to find Marlena, you can spend more time with her?" Jiang Tian smiled unmoved: "Sometimes, the senses are too sensitive. It's not a good thing, being forced to hear voices that good kids shouldn't know all day long, is it fun?"

"It's not your fault!" The petite Teresa's face collapsed when she heard this, "Every time I have to hide away, I can't go back to rest all night long... ...In the end, she couldn't help begging for mercy even in her sleep...By the way, mother asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to rest tonight?"

However, Jiang Tian just glanced at her meaningfully, and Teresa immediately felt a little creepy, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, it's just a secret between you and me, I don't want to make mother sad, let alone make her feel , I am a monster different from ordinary people."
