Kapitel 272: Chapter 147 Planning the Western Expedition Part 3

The Chapala Lake Region already had a high degree of autonomy; as long as they were faced with real threats, the number of troops they could send to support the core region of the Tarasco Kingdom would not be significant."

Gillim nodded in understanding and continued to explain.

"The target of this western campaign is the core region of the Tarasco Kingdom, the Patzcuaro Lake Region. This area encompasses three states—Qinchongcan, Saka, and Apachigan. These three states have a population of about 800,000 people, can mobilize 25,000 Samurai, and have several times that number in militia. Among the three states in the lake region, there are three major cities—Qinchongcan, Ihuatzio, and Patzcuari. Of these, the capital Qinchongcan City is the largest and most heavily fortified."

Aweit remained silent. The mountain and river topography of the core region of Tarasco had long been imprinted in his mind.
