Chapter 1388 Food Crisis

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The influx of a large number of armored war elephants has brought about a change in the entire situation.

    For some orc soldiers of relatively normal size, the threat of war elephants is still a big deal.

    However, the orc army is not vegetarian, especially in terms of the number of large arms units, they really have never been afraid of anyone!

    Seeing the armored elephants rushing all the way into the main battlefield, the elephant artillerymen on the side of the orc army also turned to close combat at this moment and began to cut into the battlefield.

    The formation of hundreds of elephants was terrifying, and the sense of oppression instantly swept across the audience, easily overwhelming the opponent in the competition of large arms units.

    There is no doubt that Raymond Southey's orc army is definitely stronger than the big cannibal player on the opposite side in terms of offensive power.

    If there is only such a big cannibal player on the opposite side, then he will probably be able to fight back in minutes.

    However, what annoys him about the current situation is that there is a Daqin man further north of this battlefield.

    At the same time, the troops of Frangji and Fusang were gradually approaching the battlefield, making him afraid to leave his territory with his troops.

    The number of people is inferior, which causes Raymond Southey to play very passively in many cases.

    When the troops are concentrated on this side, the other three sides can only crazily lay mines to intercept the armies of other players.

    Fortunately, other foreign players did not have the means to effectively destroy the mines, and they successfully intercepted their offensive. Faced with such a dense minefield, it may take a long time to clear it.

    Now turn the perspective to Robert Smith's side.

    The situation on his side is similar. As the defensive side, they have advantages, such as the transportation of troops and supplies, which will be far faster than the offensive side.

    Compared with the army of the attacking side, which requires a long journey and takes a long time for every troop transfer, the advantage of the defensive side lies in the high efficiency within its own territory.

    However, Robert Smith couldn't be more optimistic about the current situation.

    "Great Emperor, we have already collected all the food that can be harvested in the empire. However, according to this situation, it will last until June this year at most. There may be a famine in the empire"

    Having said that, the official standing below couldn't help but look bitter, and then spoke again

    "And this time, the scale may not be small. Before the autumn harvest, millions of people may starve to death."

    Hearing this, Robert Smith couldn't help but twitch his facial muscles.

    The empire, whose food production was not optimistic, has been affected by the war in the past two years, causing the food production to decrease year by year.

    At the same time, he mobilized a large number of young and middle-aged people to join the army, which caused the productivity of some industries in his empire to decline.

    This dire situation forced Robert Smith to control all the food in the territory into his own hands.

    This approach, on the one hand, is naturally to provide stable food resources for one's own army, and on the other hand, it is to control famine.

    Don't be surprised, if the people are allowed to buy food by themselves, then considering various factors, some people may be able to buy a lot, while some people can't even buy it.

    This situation is undoubtedly not conducive to the internal stability of the empire.

    Therefore, under this situation, Robert Smith also took a ruthless hand, and directly collected all the grain that could be harvested, and then their empire would distribute it uniformly every week, and everyone had a bowl of water.  To the greatest extent, it can ensure that every people can get a bite to eat more or less.

    Instead of the situation of 'suffering to death, starving to death'.

    It has to be said that although Robert Smith's method is troublesome, according to the current situation, he really has no choice.

    However, even in this state, according to the detailed calculations of several departments under his command, this year's food is still not enough. According to this situation, a large number of them may not be able to survive this year's autumn harvest.

    "It's still worse, how much worse?"

    When asking this question, Robert Smith's tone can be said to be extremely difficult.

    In this regard, the minister below has obviously confirmed the result long ago, so when faced with this question, just listen to him speak slowly

    "Reporting to the emperor, the standard is to maintain the minimum daily food intake of every ordinary person.?, if we want to survive until the autumn harvest, we need at least half a million tons of grain.  "

    The heavy number hit his heart hard. Robert Smith bluffed a few times, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

    Need at least 500,000 tons of grain?  Not to mention 500,000 tons, according to the current situation of the empire, he can't even squeeze out 10,000 tons of grain.

    After a long silence, his slightly hoarse voice sounded slowly.

    "You go back first."

    "Yes, I will retire."

    The minister left the palace quickly, outside, his own car was already waiting there.

    When the driver saw him coming out, he got out of the car and reached out to take the briefcase from the minister.

    Unexpectedly, at this moment, the minister's hand suddenly paused.

    "Who are you?"

    "Master, my name is Kevin, and I'm Hank's cousin. He is sick today, so I will drive for him for the time being."

    "Kevin"

    He murmured the name softly, and the minister did have a little impression of the name. His driver, Hank, seemed to have a cousin named Kevin.

    However, after thinking about it, the minister still didn't hand over the briefcase in his hand to Kevin.

    After getting in the car, the car started slowly and drove towards the minister's mansion in an orderly manner.

    Along the way, it can be said that there is no problem.

    Returning to the mansion, looking at the old butler who came out to greet him, the minister walked towards the house and asked casually

    "Hank, is he sick today?"

    "Yes sir, Hank had a high fever last night, so he asked his cousin Kevin to drive for him temporarily."

    "Yeah."

    The minister who got a clear answer nodded casually, quickly put this little episode behind him, then walked all the way to his study, and signaled the old housekeeper to help him make a pot of coffee and bring it in.

    Next, he was obviously busy.

    At the same time, on the other side, Kevin, who parked the car unhurriedly, had a meaningful smile on his face. Of course, this hidden smile quickly disappeared the moment he got off the car.  In an instant, he regained his honest and honest appearance
