Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Pull out the spare tires that came with the enemy's transport troops and stay vigilant. After changing the tires on the transport trucks, the three cavalry teams returned with dozens of vehicles of enemy supplies. It can be said that they returned with a big victory.

    At the same time, after receiving a telegram message from the rear, reminding them to prepare to receive supplies, the Europa border guard who had not been able to wait for the transport of troops had an ominous premonition in his heart.

    And in the morning of the next day, troops were hurriedly dispatched to confirm.

    Finally confirmed the news, a large number of corpses were found around the road 130 kilometers away from their border fortress

    At this moment, the bad news that the logistics supply was cut off and the escort troops were completely wiped out can be said to be fully implemented.

    Facing this established fact, the border guards were obviously powerless to change anything, so they could only let the communications soldiers send the bad news to the rear headquarters.

    In this regard, the rear command naturally fell into rage. The supplies were robbed, 10,000 troops were wiped out, and dozens of transport trucks were lost. This is already a disaster.

    However, what can they do?

    Can this border material not be sent?

    Obviously not.

    "Go, prepare another batch of supplies."

    "But Chief of Staff, I'm afraid the food won't be prepared right now."

    The chief of staff of the headquarters was shocked when he heard this, and then asked quickly

    "What's going on? Why can't it be prepared?!"

    "Report to the Chief of Staff. In the past few years, the emperor led his army to go out and mobilized a large amount of food. Now there is basically not much food left in the empire."

    "Why didn't you report this kind of thing before?!"

    "Report, report to the Chief of Staff! Regarding this matter, the subordinates have written a report!"

    After finishing speaking, probably to prove his words, the subordinate officer quite simply turned over the previous report.

    At the bottom of the report, there is also a large seal of their headquarters, which proves that this report has been reviewed.

    This situation made the chief of staff's eyelids twitch slightly.

    But at this moment, I don't care about embarrassment or not.

    His eyes quickly swept over the report. It was indeed a report about the remaining food reserves in their empire.

    At the same time, according to the report, if this wave of food was not robbed, then their empire's food reserves should be stuck in a "just enough" situation, because in three months, it will be the autumn harvest.  At that time, there will be new grain harvested.

    But now, this 'just enough' situation has been broken!

    Today's food in the border fortress should be saved for another month, but what about one month later?

    How did the defenders of the Eastern Fortress survive during the period when the autumn harvest was harvested?

    In just a few months, in the eyes of them now, it is simply fatal!

    That's tens of thousands of mouths, and it can't be done by just scraping together dozens of catties of grain.

    As the current supreme commander of the rear headquarters, he must now make a decision.

    Looking at the chief of staff who was deeply entangled, and another officer next to him, his expression was very complicated for a while.

    After hesitating again and again, he finally chose to speak

    "Chief of Staff, I just heard a piece of news from my side."

    "What news? Tell me straight!"

    At this time, the chief of staff, who was feeling annoyed, said directly with an impatient face.

    In this regard, after organizing the language, the officer slowly spoke

    "In the past few years, our empire's food production has been affected by the climate here, and has declined. This year, the impact seems to be more serious than previous years"

    When the chief of staff heard this, his whole heart twitched violently on the spot.

    "You mean, this year's grain production may be very low?"

    In this regard, the officer also showed a wry smile.

    "Basically, that's right."

    The chief of staff who got this answer couldn't help but make a gesture of reaching out his hand to his forehead.

    This situation is simply terrible!

    At the same time, it made his decision even more difficult.

    In this era, a powerful empire can stockpile ammunition and weapons, and stockpile them for decades, as long as those weapons and ammunition are not outdated, they can continueuse.

    What about food?  Can you stockpile food for decades?

    The answer is impossible.

    But even so, the grain reserves of their empire were originally extremely strong.

    And now, the reason why they are facing such a bad situation, in the final analysis, is because of the agreement between Robert Smith and Raymond Southey.

    The gang of idiots in the orc army can be said to have consumed their empire's food reserves to a large extent.

    Although after the war situation reached a stalemate, Robert Smith took the initiative to discuss with Raymond Southey cheekily, saying that he could only provide some food for the orc army.

    But at that time, more than half of his grain reserves had actually been consumed.

    Coupled with his territorial location, which is deeply affected by the bitter cold climate, the grain production has gradually decreased in the past few years.

    The combination of various factors has evolved into the current bad situation.

    Now that Robert Smith, the "Emperor", is not in the country, this difficult decision can only be made by him, the chief of staff.

    He had no choice. After taking a deep breath, the chief of staff spoke in a solemn tone

    "Pass down the order to collect grain from grain shops all over the country!"

    "yes!"

    Seems like a simple order, but the things involved behind it are big.

    A wave of rising food prices is almost inevitable.

    And it is true.

    Almost on the day when the high-level officials of their empire issued an order to start harvesting grain, the grain prices in shops all over the country saw the first wave of price increases.

    And the second wave of price increases was five days later

    And tripled after half a month!

    The price of food has risen, and the prices of other things have also begun to rise.

    It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, within the empire, the grievances of ordinary people have begun to accumulate little by little, and some low-income classes are basically about to enter a situation where they cannot afford food.

    And this situation continued until the autumn harvest a few months later, and it didn't get any improvement.

    Due to the bleak grain harvest this year, grain shops in various places have no intention of lowering prices at all.

    For many ordinary people, it is already thankful that there is no price increase.

    In the empire, the entire situation can be said to continue to deteriorate. The next winter will be a nightmare for many people.

    Of course, these are all things for later
