On Kalimantan, the Legion of Ice and Fire and the Indo-Malaysian coalition are still fighting inextricably.

With the Grisswords and the War Elephant Legion, the Indo-Malaysian alliance has an absolute advantage in the plains, and at present, both armies are holding on to danger, and neither dares to launch a large-scale attack easily.

The Fire and Ice Legion waited for the rest of the Condor to come to Kalimantan's aid, then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and then captured Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula.

The Indo-Malaysian coalition wanted to drive the enemy out of Kalimantan as soon as possible, but unfortunately their strength was insufficient, and several attacks launched on their own initiative ended in failure.

As a result, they can only maintain this confrontation with the Ice and Fire Legion first, and then wait for the support of other Southeast Asian countries.

In the Huaxia region, the main armies of the Condor Army were all stationed in the areas along the Yellow River, and as soon as the Yellow River froze, they would immediately launch a campaign to cross the river.

The current situation is that Vietnamese counties are temporarily self-sufficient by relying on food reserves from previous years.

Most of the Philippines' food production goes to the Fire and Ice Legion on the island of Kalimantan.

The Lost Continent is still in the process of resuming production after years of war, and it will have to wait another year for the rest of the world to produce a variety of food.

Most of the food produced by Hainan Island, Taiwan Island, and Ice and Fire Island was transported to the granary located outside Condor City, except for feeding the nearby navy.

Although there are large areas of plains in Hebei, many crops have been damaged to varying degrees due to the war.

Not only will it not be able to provide food to other regions this year, but Ningyuan will also have to transfer grain from other places to Hebei to relieve the people affected by the war, and if you want to see the grain produced in Hebei to support the front line, you will have to wait at least until the end of next year.

The situation in Shanxi is even worse than in Hebei.

The Hebei region has only been affected by the war, and most of the population is still there, as long as there are seeds, land, and a stable environment, production in Hebei will be able to recover immediately.

In the Datong Basin area of Shanxi, because of Gu Yuntian's massacre, many innocent people died tragically, and more people fled to other areas.

If he wants to resume production, Ning Yuan must emigrate from other places, otherwise he will only rely on the local self-recovery, and when he fully recovers, it will be a matter of the Year of the Monkey.

Now the output of the Northeast Plain and the Mongolian Steppe is not only used to support the West Siberian Theater and the Huaxia Theater, but also to support the people of Hebei and Shanxi, plus those Condor Empire players in Fusang County, this is indeed a bit overwhelming.

No wonder Bai Ze would take the initiative to come to Ning Yuan to cry poor, the feeling is that the war potential of the Condor Empire has reached a critical value.

If Ning Yuan took the initiative to expand the scale of the war at this time, if he was not careful, the Condor Empire might encounter a crisis of sudden collapse, so Bai Ze would take the initiative to come to the door to remind Ning Yuan.

For Bai Ze, Ning Yuan trusted 100%, so when Bai Ze said that the grain reserves were seriously insufficient, he decisively gave up his plan to increase troops to the Southeast Asian battlefield.

Ning Yuan planned to endure for a year, and then wait for production in Shanxi, Hebei, and the Lost Continent to resume before reinforcing the Southeast Asian theater.

However, not being able to increase troops does not mean that Ning Yuan has to swallow his anger and let the enemy act recklessly there.

Soon, the Condor fleet, which had just finished the Hawaiian campaign, was transferred by Ning Yuan to the waters of Southeast Asia.

After two successive victories over the enemy and the capture of a large number of magical warships, the Condor Navy has been further expanded in size, and they are now a veritable overlord of the seas.

There are no enemies left to threaten the security of the Lost Continent, and those trapped in the Hawaiian Islands don't need much naval care, and the newly formed Lost Fleet will be enough to deal with them.

Therefore, Ning Yuan simply renamed the experienced Condor Navy Pacific Fleet, they will not be confined to a certain place, and the entire Pacific Ocean will be their scope of activity.

Ning Yuan's transfer of the Pacific Fleet to the Southeast Asian theater of operations this time had four main purposes.

The first purpose was to defeat the Indo-Malaysian naval fleet and cut off their support to Kalimantan.

The second purpose is to launch a full-scale invasion of Thailand's coastline to serve as an example.

The third purpose is to block the Strait of Malacca so that ships from other countries cannot support it.

The fourth purpose is to prepare for a full-scale attack on Southeast Asia in the future.

This food crisis has given Ning Yuan a deeper understanding of the importance of food, and now he finally understands the difficulties of those dynasties in ancient China.

In the past, whenever Ning Yuan saw that the expeditionary force sent by the ancient Chinese dynasty to remote areas such as the Western Regions and Burma only had tens of thousands of people, he would have some doubts.

Why is it that in the civil war, the enemy and us often have tens of millions of troops, but after the completion of the great unification, the number of troops participating in the war is getting smaller and smaller?

Now he finally understood.

It's not that the great unification dynasties don't have an army in their hands, it's that they can't send more troops because of the lack of logistical supplies.

There is a bug in the game that there is a teleportation array, and logistics and transportation are still so difficult, not to mention the ancient times that can only rely on manpower and ox carts to transport.

The Condor Empire now owns the Mongolian Plateau, Shanxi, Hebei, Northeast China, Taiwan Island and Hainan Island, as well as the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Island, Vietnam, the Philippines, the Island of Ice and Fire, the Lost Continent and the vast Siberian region, with a land area of tens of millions of square kilometers.

However, the total food output in these places is not comparable to that of India, which has a land area of less than three million square kilometres.

India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia are all major food producers in Southeast Asia.

In India, in particular, the three-season crop harvest not only feeds the country's 1.3 billion people, but also has a large surplus grain for export.

Whenever Ning Yuan saw on TV that Indians used food to feed rats, monkeys and other animals, he was very angry, which was a manifestation of the fact that there was so much food that there was no place to use it.

After the Condor Empire encountered a food crisis, Ning Yuan immediately thought of India, the world's top five grain production bases.

As long as the Condor Empire can take India and other Southeast Asian countries, then as long as Baishihai is given three or five years, the Condor Empire will no longer have to worry about the problem of food.

Therefore, the strategic focus of the Condor Empire will gradually tilt towards Southeast Asia.

Ning Yuan planned to let Ji Wushuang temporarily stop his external expansion and concentrate on the vast Siberian region.

For the vast and sparsely populated Siberian region, the first priority of the Condor Empire was to establish a well-developed transportation route there.

Establish cities in some strategic locations and transportation hubs, and after having a teleportation array, as long as it is not covered by the clouds of war, the transport legions of the Condor Empire can quickly transport all kinds of materials over.

Although the cold weather in Siberia is not suitable for farming, it has the largest coniferous forest area in the world, with tundra, forest tundra, forests, forest-steppe and steppe belts from north to south.

There are Arctic deer, sable, foxes, beavers, wolves, bears, lynxes, roe deer, rabbits, marmots and other wild animals, which are full of treasures, especially fur, and have high economic value.

Forest resources, mineral resources, and animal resources are the three treasures of the Siberian region, so it is impossible for Ningyuan not to develop it because it is too cold there.

Ning Yuan planned to relocate some hardy orcs to the Siberian region and adopt a castle-centric development strategy.

Wherever castles with teleportation arrays were built, he developed them until the castle network covered the entire Siberian region.

It will be a long process, which may take more than ten years or even decades, but Ning Yuan can afford to wait.

When the timber, minerals, furs, and magic crystals produced in Siberia continue to feed back to the Condor Empire, the war potential of the Condor Empire will become even more terrifying.

In addition, the bitter cold environment is also the best way to train people's will, and the soldiers selected from there are better than other places.

Throughout the history of China, the reason why nomads and fishing and hunting people were able to win more with less is entirely because they all grew up in a cold land, and the harsh natural environment exercised their indomitable willpower and gave them a stronger fighting force.

The most famous example of this is the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners Army, composed of fishing and hunting peoples, had extremely terrifying combat effectiveness at the beginning, which terrified all enemies, and was known as the Jurchen who was not satisfied with ten thousand and was invincible.

However, since entering the customs, the comfortable life has quickly corrupted them, turning them into a group of illusory old soldiers, and becoming the gravediggers of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why human beings want to learn history is that in addition to understanding the deeds of their ancestors, the most important purpose is to learn lessons from history.

The fall of the Qing Dynasty began with the fall of the Eight Banners, and finally the land of China was devastated by the foreign powers.

Although this is just a game world, Ning Yuan still doesn't want history to repeat itself in the game, which is his obsession and the obsession of all Chinese people.

So after he decided to develop the Siberian region, he firmly decided to make Condor City the national capital, and decided not to let the powerful races under his command repeat the mistakes of the Eight Banners Army.

Soon, one of Ning Yuan's orders spread throughout the Condor Empire.

The families of the Barbarian Legion, the Condor Guard, the Dwarven Legion, the Elven Legion, the Centaur Legion, and all the elite Orc Legions must settle outside the Wall.

All the troops of the Condor Empire have to go to Siberia once a year for a month-long field training when they are free.

All recruits go to the Siberian region for military training for half a year.

Ning Yuan's order seemed a little impersonal, but it could make the army of the Condor Empire never be corrupted by comfort.

And Ning Yuan didn't want the soldiers and their families to suffer in the bitter cold, he would provide them with the best logistical support so that they could have no worries about food and clothing.

All he wants is for them to maintain the courage to fight against nature, and to always have the strongest physique.

Moreover, Ning Yuan himself will lead by example, he and his family will always live in Condor City, and accept the tempering of nature with the soldiers and their families.
