Chapter 2068 Alexander’s War Base Numbers

"I am Iskandar Alexander III, king of Macedonia, conqueror of Persia, Pharaoh of Egypt, son of the sun god Amun, conqueror from the west to the east, commanding tens of millions of people and wanting to conquer the end of the world. people."

The first deceased to come forward was the famous Alexander the Great.This king, who had great talents and great strategies, established a large empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, and was famous for his bravery and wisdom, eventually died young due to a serious illness.There are different opinions about his death, but the place where he was finally buried was Egypt, a place that although he conquered, he was loved and supported wholeheartedly.

His soul also returned here, but because of the sleep of the gods, he had to accumulate in the abyss of death.However, this did not kill his ambition and ambition, so when Alexia reopened the door to the underworld and welcomed the dead with the water of the Nile, he, the king who had been sleeping for thousands of years, was not to be outdone. He almost rushed into the Yangshi that he had conquered first in an attitude of vying for the first place.

At this time, he was also the first to make a call, and the reason for his call was also very justified.

"The dead who are lucky enough to return to this world with me. The purpose of my return to this world after a thousand years of stress is to complete my unfinished ambition. To complete my conquest that died in the middle is what God The mission given to me is God's mercy for my unfinished life. O dead people, I sincerely invite you to join my army. Come with me to conquer the whole world, and in return, I am willing to I will share the whole world with you. Water and soil, blood and glory, everything is as long as you are willing to be loyal. So, what is your answer?"

As a king resurrected in this world, the special thing about Alexander is that he was resurrected on a horse.

A tall black horse, as majestic as a legendary Pegasus.This is Alexander's beloved horse, Buscephalus.A famous horse that had been tamed by Alexander when he was a child and had accompanied him on his expeditions to the north and south until his death at the Battle of the Cedars River.

Alexander regarded it as a close friend. After it died in battle, he held a grand funeral for it and even built a city named Buscephala to commemorate it.As far as treatment goes, the horse was treated like a hero.And it is precisely because of such special treatment that the name of Buscephalas has been sung by countless famous books and even biographies, so that it has still broken away from the barriers of a horse itself, possessing mythical characteristics and becoming Alexander the Great. The symbol of the emperor, the king who wants to conquer the world.

Alexander, one of the most famous kings in human history.How could his resurrection be easy? Just like in Egyptian mythology, many resurrected dead would have unimaginable magic, power, and even be promoted to gods.As the former pharaoh of Egypt, Alexander may not be promoted to the level of a god, but he will definitely no longer be just a brave mortal.

Buscephalas was just a symbol of the power he had after his resurrection, and there were many other symbols like this, such as those who had accompanied him in battles in the north and south, and fought bloody battles, but who had the same dream but died on the journey. Warriors above.

As they placed their dreams on this king during their lifetime and carried it with him, even after death, they were willing to accompany him and sink into the siltation of the underworld with him.And now that the same people are resurrected in the world, they will naturally continue to guard their king as they did in life.

With their majestic war horses, traditional Greek armor, raised spears and short swords, and accompanied by their mighty shouts, they were obviously the first ones to respond to the king's call.

The number of people is not large. After all, the number of dead here is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.At best, they are only tens of thousands of people, and they can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.But with a head start, there was such a large and organized group of people who took the lead in responding. Many of the dead who were still wavering and unsure whether they should obey or not already subconsciously moved closer to Alexander.

There was the first, and soon there was the second.In a short period of time, millions of people have gathered around Alexander, and this number is still increasing.

After all, Alexander the Great's reputation was really resounding.Even though these dead people are not from the same era, some of them are even thousands of years apart from Alexander.But living on this land, it can be said that they grew up listening to Alexander's stories.

This is a figure that even fanatical religion cannot obliterate his great achievements, and it is natural. It is natural that they who were born as ordinary people are easily impressed by the courage of this king.

Soon, nearly half of the undead gathered around Alexander.And seeing such a huge group of people choosing to follow him, even a person like Alexander would inevitably feel a little complacent.

You must know that in his time, although he was known as the ruler of a great empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the conqueror of the world, in fact, the number of soldiers under his command had never exceeded one hundred thousand.

Whether it was the first soldiers from Macedonia and Greece, or the servants he later summoned from Persia, Egypt or even India, he could only gather tens of thousands of people to fight against the enemy.

This is the limitation of the productivity and system of the times.In Macedonia, a Greek-style country, soldiers worked as hired men to serve their rulers.The people's military service is basically voluntary, rather than state-style recruitment. This has also led to the fact that these Greek countries are already stuck in terms of the source of soldiers.

It was not easy for a city-state in ancient Greece to train hundreds of qualified soldiers.Even Athens, the richest city at the time, and Sparta, the most powerful military power, only had at most more than [-] soldiers belonging to its own city-state.

This is still theoretical, because judging from the city-state's economy alone, it is difficult for their economy to support the expenditure of tens of thousands of troops.This is true even in Sparta, where all men are qualified soldiers.

Because the Spartans had to eat and earn wages, and Sparta's economy was entirely based on the exploitation of their slaves, the helots.Once the pressure of war is too great, it is likely to lead to a helot uprising.

This is how Sparta in history has been consuming the strength of its city-state in repression and uprisings.It was only natural that they were eventually defeated and annexed.

So you want to say they are strong, maybe.But if you want to say that they are the most powerful army in the world, this is really not necessarily true.

Macedonia under Alexander was undoubtedly the most powerful state in Greece.This can be seen from his conquest of Sparta, a symbol of force in the Greek world.And even after conquering Greece and ruling Egypt and Persia, Alexander's military resources were never sufficient enough to casually sacrifice tens of thousands of people without even blinking an eyebrow.

In his time, under the territory he ruled, population, especially adult brave men, was a too scarce resource.Productivity, medical care, these all limit the development of his men's strength.If his empire can be passed on and there are enough children, perhaps there will be monarchs with hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers in his descendants, but here, an army of [-] is almost enough. The limit of what he could control.

To some extent, Alexander was also an arrogant person.With only tens of thousands of people in hand, he dared to have ambitions to conquer the world.From today's perspective, this is really overestimating one's capabilities, because in the same era, in the East where he had not yet set foot, there were already mutual conquests, and tens of thousands of people could be killed or injured in a war. The kingdom exists.

However, being arrogant is not a derogation for him.Because he is such a person, born to have the most ardent dreams, burning like a flame and only thinking about burning.

He once dared to boast about conquering the entire world with 10 people in hand, and indeed, he almost trampled half of the world's civilizations under his feet.But now, he has tens of millions of people around him.It was a number that the entire population of his time combined might not be able to match.This strong foundation made the conquering king involuntarily open his mouth, as if drinking mellow wine, and let out a hearty laugh that shook the eardrums like a bull.

"This is really a gift from God to me. In the future after I have been sleeping for thousands of years, there will be such a large number of warriors who will listen to my orders, Iskandar. This is the God's hint to me that this world must Being stepped on."

"With such a large-scale military power, I really can't imagine any other country in the world that can be my opponent. My soldiers, each of them can gather a spit of saliva to form a lake; each of them can gather a handful of sand to build a lake. Build a majestic mountain; each person can stop the Nile River by throwing down his riding whip. This battle of conquest has been destined to win from the beginning. And such an easy victory really makes me feel unstoppable Regret arose. I still wanted to fight on horseback and enjoy the feeling of bathing in blood and winning glory. But now it seems that our enemies will lose all courage just by seeing us, like cowardice Like women and children, they offered it to their fortress and begged for our forgiveness.”

For an ancient king, it was absolutely normal for him to say such things.After all, under the standards of cold-weapon warfare where numbers are the cornerstone of victory, tens of millions of soldiers who can fight without food or drink, without asking for a penny of food or pay, are really enough to trample the entire world under their feet.

But unfortunately, this was not his era.Looking at today's world from the perspective of one's own era is bound to make a joke.

Nowadays, among the dead who have joined Alexander's side, there are many people who were born in modern times and died only because of disasters.Although they admired Alexander, the ancient king, they did not blindly follow him to the point of believing whatever he said.

There may indeed be some idiots among modern people who have obviously gone to school and received modern education, but naively think that ancient people are omnipotent and that anyone who pops up at random is a superman or a god.But the vast majority of modern people can still rationally judge the gap between modern and ancient times, and give their own analysis objectively.

Just like now, some modern dead are already admonishing Alexander like this.

"Your Majesty Alexander, the world today may be different from the world you lived in. After all, more than 2000 years have passed, and human production and reproduction capabilities are no longer comparable to those of your time. Maybe in your time Here, a population of one million is an unimaginable number, but in our era today, a population of one million is really unusual. Even if we say there are several cities with a population of over [-] million, your Majesty, your current military strength "

The implication is that your current military strength is not enough, so you'd better take it easy.

It reminded Alexander that although the people had good intentions, they were actually thinking more about themselves.After all, he is now affiliated with Alexander's forces, and he doesn't want this famous monarch to block his group at the forefront of the war like cannon fodder.

This is not a good thing.After all, although he has not personally participated in modern war, he also knows that modern war is not comparable to before.Using the methods of ancient people to fight against modern military forces is not conquest, it is food delivery.

After Alexander heard this man's speech, he immediately looked at him with light in his eyes.It was different from the faces of ancient Greeks and Egyptians, nor from the Persians or Indians he was familiar with.That appearance looked more like the more oriental people he had heard of.

Such oriental faces are rare among this group of dead people, but what Alexander cares more about is the content of what he said before.

Alexander was born in Macedonia, and his teacher was the famous scholar Aristotle.Personally, he is also the kind of king who respects knowledge and culture very much.So as soon as he heard what the oriental man said, he immediately started asking him with interest.

"It sounds like you are very organized. Are you a scholar?"

"I" pointed at himself, and the Eastern Dead quickly shook his head and said. "I am a supermarket owner. I used to be a teacher for a while, but the world was not good, and something happened, so I stopped working. I simply left the country and settled here, but I didn't expect to encounter such a mess. After all, things in the world are unpredictable, and God’s decision is not as good as man’s.”

The rather old Dongfang deceased showed an expression expressing emotion about the world.Looking at his expression, Alexander became even more convinced that he was a scholar.

This is not surprising. After all, even in his era, people who had time or ideas to express their feelings about the world basically had a certain amount of knowledge.Not to mention that he can still say such philosophical words.

"I haven't asked you your surname, sir."

"My surname is Yu. People who know me usually call me Uncle Yu. My past students all call me Teacher Yu. If you like me, just call me Lao Yu."
