Chapter 422: Future Western Continent Strategy (I)

Although Asal can be regarded as a poor slump in terms of governance, he has a very high strategic vision and can see the current situation of the occupied areas of the Great Empire of the Western Continent, and the problem of human resources he raised is the biggest problem left by the Western Continent to the Great Empire.

As we all know, the Western Continent is the smallest region of all the continental territories of the King Continent, and it is even smaller than those continental regions that are divided into the Central Continent, and this has created the fact that the population of the Western Continent itself is very lacking, and at the same time, it has created the reason why the Western Continent has evolved over the years, and only the two empires of the Xiyi Islands are powerful.

Although the population resources originally owned by the United Nations of the Xiyi Islands were neither too much nor too small, and although the land of the Thousand Islands did not have too much territory for these Xiyi to live, the huge islands and the maritime life culture that the Xiyi people had evolved over the past hundred years have also made the population of the United Nations of the Xiyi Islands more than 3 million people, and the decaying Atlanta Empire has always maintained a population of 100 million, but these circumstances have all changed after the invasion of the Sunset.

First of all, the United Nations of the Xiyi Islands, because of the provocation of the people who do not set the sun, led to the polarization within the United Nations of the Xiyi Islands, from the infighting between the Emperor faction and the shogunate faction to the so-called Shangluo Kyoto, which made the United Nations of the Xiyi Islands lose more than 1/4 of the population in less than a year, and later the Christianity of the Sun Never Sets and the local religion of the Xiyi Shinto Sect jointly purged and suppressed the Mahayana Buddhists and the family to which they belonged, and the population of the Xiyi people dropped to 2 million. Until the people of the sun never set finally absorbed the Xiyi people and turned them into the subjects of the great empire of the sunset, the population of the Xiyi people was less than 1.9 million.

Although in recent years, the land of the Thousand Islands has attracted the agricultural technology of the great empire on which the sun never sets, and the fishing and planting technology of the fish-people in the seafood, so that the population of the Xiyi people has recovered to 2 million again, but Rome was not built in a day, and half of the more than 100,000 people who have grown up are babies. Moreover, in recent years, the Great Empire has vigorously strengthened the development of uninhabited islands in the Land of the Thousand Islands, attracting at least 1 million Xiyi manpower, so far in time, the manpower support of the Xiyi people is only just enough for the use of the Thousand Islands, and how to support the construction of Philadelphia.

Only the coastal areas left by the former Atlanta Empire to the sunset do have as many as 50 million people, but unfortunately due to the bloody occupation of the previous Sunset Empire, the region has lost at least 1/4 of its population. The remaining three-quarters have been initially subordinated to the rule of the Sunset Empire under the governance of the Sunset Empire for nearly half a year and nearly one year, but despite this, they are unlikely to support the construction of the Philadelphia Territory.

As the coastal area of the original Atlanta Empire, the Atlanta Empire has established more than 30 large and small cities and more than a dozen fortresses along the long coastline of the Western Continent, and the rest of the villages and towns, castles and wooden forts are counted in hundreds or thousands. Perhaps these wooden forts and villages were affected by the two previous Atlante aristocratic alliances' attacks on Atlantis, but this time the coalition did not, and people's perseverance and ability to take root and develop are not analogous in words, maybe you saw the ruins of the village one week, and the next week it will become a vibrant village being rebuilt.

Moreover, with the Xiyi Ashigaru recruited from the land of the Thousand Islands before the sun never sets, and after it steadily encroached on the interior of the western continent, the new large territory is also attracting the attention of those Atlanta pioneers who are attracted by the preferential policy of the sun never sets; At the same time, because the Atlanta Empire originally occupied the eastern seas of the Thousand Islands, many of these tens of millions of Atlanta pioneers took the bare ships of the Xiyi people and went to those uninhabited islands to open up the wasteland; On the other hand, the uninhabited land before the Northwest Continent and the Western Continent, because the manpower support of the Northwest Continent has been fully occupied, so some of the Atlanta Pioneers still need to go to these uninhabited lands, and at the same time fight with various beasts in the forest, and even unknown mysterious alien natives, they will build new ports, villages, wooden forts and even cities on the stone roads and coastlines connecting the two continents. So don't look at the fact that there are more than 40 million manpower support in the coastal area of the Western Continent, but the world has been carved up in the war and the pioneering actions of various great empires on which the sun never sets.

Coupled with the fact that the inhabitants of the sunset who are ushered in from time to time through the war value have been swallowed up by the bottomless pit of the Northwest Continent, the construction projects in the territory of Philadelphia are really unable to get any human resources assistance from the great empire on which the sun never sets. This is also the reason why Sun Lin decided to use the surplus grain raised after the grain harvest of this summer, to attract the attention of the Atlantans who had no food to survive the winter in the interior of the Western Continent, and began to use the iron tools made by the craftsmen of the Sun Never Set who were not named in the Quartermaster of the Sun Never Set to buy slaves from the slave traders of the Southern Continent, because the manpower support that the Philadelphia Leader needs now is only available in these two places.

Of course, Sun Lin finally came to the Western Continent once, and of course he couldn't just solve the major development of Philadelphia. In fact, at the same time that Sun Lin sent his own spies to spread the surplus food of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, he also spread another news before this news - Sun Lin was willing to accept the surrender of the Atlantan soldiers in the interior, no matter who the surrenderer was.

In Sun Lin's opinion, since he wanted to abduct more than 40 million Atlantans from the interior of the Western Continent, why not kidnap these Atlantans at the same time, and also abduct the territory where these people lived? Anyway, now the Atlantan nobles in the interior of the Western Continent and their strength have almost been wiped out in the first 3 aristocratic alliances, maybe those territories of the Western Continent are still marked with the territorial boundaries of a certain Atlantan nobles, and even some barons, knights, etc. in the territory, but these territories have long been in a state of unmanaged, and those ignorant Atlanta citizens will definitely submit to the Sunset Empire after being starved for a while, and those knights and nobles who are at the bottom of the original Atlanta Empire's nobility, Sun Lin only needs to tempt them with the official position of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and these nobles will submit to the sun in order to continue their families and continue to survive, and their loyalty is even higher than that of those Atlantic commoners.
