Chapter 163: The Hidden Danger of Cultural Affairs
Chapter 163 Hidden Danger of Cultural Governance
After annihilating the Pihu Legion, Ross seemed to be no one, allowing the two hundred dragonriders to wreak havoc. In ten days, Cai Dao led the dragon cavalry to conquer six more cities, including a medium-sized city with a population of more than 200,000.
But as Cai Dao showed his strength unabashedly, the situation on the mainland has undergone a subtle change. Emperor Ross quickly recalled the two armies fighting in the west. Perry and Mond's army's attack on Diss became slow, and the Woda army's encirclement and suppression of Haig's army also gradually slowed down.
At this delicate and critical moment, Cai Dao's super combat power in the battle with the Pihu Legion shocked the entire continent. The heads of state were at a loss. Where did such an extremely tyrannical divine warrior or magician come from? What can they do in the face of this uniquely powerful warrior?
During these thoughts, they all slowed down each other's movements. A Gran army is worth worrying about. This army also has such a powerful leader, which will bring destruction and death. Even Woda doesn't dare to think that he can kill Cai Dao. Even if he puts people on top, Cai Dao will still be hurt.
Cai Dao¡¯s power made all government heads think of one person almost at the same time - the Holy Emperor! Back then, the Holy Emperor relied on the power of force and a small group of subordinates to conquer the world.
Facing an army with a small number of people, but with such a powerful person who dominates the world, sitting in command. Maybe it's not a good thing for the Western Continent. At this moment, facing the ambitious Gran Army, all countries had almost the same idea: if necessary, join forces with other countries immediately!
The reactions of various countries are surprising. He is worthy of being a figure who split the Holy Kingdom back then. The reaction of the Holy See was a bit surprising. It just said a lot of meaningless words and then did nothing else. Cai Dao was completely prepared for the angel to come to his door, but the other party unexpectedly did not come. This was so surprising.
The progress of wars in various countries is slow. They were all cautiously testing the waters, waiting to appreciate the development. In the process, Cai Dao led the dragon knights to make a grand return, and the Russian army retreated. The agreement was completed, and naturally they should go home.
Full of honors and achievements. Dragon Rider returned to Black Tiger City. In front of the welcoming team, Cai Dao saw Reinhardt and others, but did not see Qingniu. As if he knew what the teacher was thinking, Reinhardt smiled softly and said: "Teacher, Miss An Luo got the news about Zhu Xiancao, so she went to look for this medicine!"
Not long after Cai Dao led the dragon riders to leave, a mercenary took over the mission issued by the Gran Army. Said he knew where the red fairy grass was. Qing Niu immediately led the mercenary to kill him. Counting the days, I'm afraid I'll be back soon.
Cai Dao learned about the situation and suddenly thought he was not here. The operations of the Gran Army and the occupied areas seemed to be very smooth. Under the control of Reinhard and the others, these government and military affairs were handled in an orderly manner. See it all. Cai Dao began to think about whether to leave government and military affairs to his apprentices. It was not an option to continue to control them!
but. Which apprentice will take over everything is still a headache for him. After thinking about it, he simply stopped thinking about it and decided to talk about the future later. But he obviously did not expect that this future is already very close to the present.
"Teacher, when you were away, the Black Iron Resistance Army came to ask for cooperation. We dare not make a decision without you. What do you think? Or, could you meet the contact person left by the other party first?" Reinhardt and others After reporting on the current affairs of the Gran Army to General Cai Dao, he finally came up with something that interested Cai Dao.
"No, tell him that there is no such thing as cooperation in the Gran Army. Either surrender to us or get out of our control area, otherwise it will be a dead end!" Cai Dao did not have the spirit to meet a poor and unlucky guy. He is still eager to search for private space!
After busy for a long time, Reinhardt and the curious Levin came to a hotel in person, where they met the contact person left by the Black Iron Resistance Army. To Levin's surprise, this contact person had a military temperament in every gesture: "Mr. Ewing, I'm Levin!"
"The commander of the Dragon Riders was honored to receive a military salute, and a wry smile appeared on his unsmiling face: "I think you are here to pronounce the verdict to me today! Although I know the result, I have only one request. Please try not to hurt the resistance soldiers. They are all good, but they are led by a pitiful noble rabbit! "
Levin's face was full of astonishment, but Reinhard understood this deeply. He bowed and said seriously: "Mr. Ewing, as you expected, the teacher did not give you a chance. But I also hope you can understand."?If you want to convince the rebel soldiers, you are the most suitable person! "
"I think I have no choice. Maybe the Glen Army can really do it!" Ewing's faint sadness could not hide his loss. From the day he knew that Cai Dao annihilated an army, he knew that this day It must come.
"Very well, Mr. Ewing, you are an excellent general. It is an honor for the Glen Army to have you join. From today on, you are the commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion!" Reinhardt has been baptized by so many things. , become mature through learning and experience, and become more courageous.
After leaving here, Reinhard explained everything to his senior brother. Ewing was the founder of the Black Iron Resistance. He received financial and other assistance from a nobleman. Later, the nobleman officially joined the resistance and gained power that Ewing had not noticed. At this time, the nobles wanted to drive away Ewing, who had great prestige in the resistance, so they kept him.
Ewing or Reinhardt have basically set the track for Cai Daolan's military affairs. Reinhardt and others can sort it out so naturally during his absence, which makes him very satisfied. Satisfied, he returned to his bedroom wholeheartedly. He crossed his legs and rested his mind, silently scanning the Mustard Seed space with his spiritual thoughts.
It is not easy to find a specific space in this space of billions of mustard seeds. If he had not been lucky enough to capture a familiar aura before and then locked the aura, I am afraid that everything he is doing now will be in vain. Since these days, he has never had any real free time to search the space, so he has to wait until he comes back to do a thorough tracking.
Here, time seems to have stopped, and his mind is constantly shuttling in this strange space. Traveling at the speed of light. But this space is infinitely large, and even if there is a trace of familiar aura under his lock, it will not be found in a moment.
It is very challenging to refine a magic weapon that contains mustard seed space. Even with Qingniu¡¯s strength, he has never thought of it. However, Xuanji had used his own strength to refine a Mustard Seed Magic Weapon before. The refining of the Mustard Seed Magic Weapon was very simple, as long as one had strong strength to force one out of the Mustard Seed Space. But even at the peak of Qingniu's life, he was still far from what he could do. It is said that if you have the power of an immortal, you can tear apart space or even create space. Such a mustard space will have no time and space restrictions.
Even though Cai Dao was completely familiar with the mustard space, he could never find an adjective to describe it. This space is unique. There are densely packed physical spaces in every square inch, as if countless levels of space are crowded together, which has caused some trouble for him.
As time passed day by day, Cai Dao was still tracking silently in the room. Reinhard and others did not bother the teacher. They thought that the teacher was at a critical moment in his cultivation. But now the Gran Army has something that needs Cai Dao to decide. After hesitating for a long time, Reinhard discussed with Levin and Fili for a long time, and finally decided to summon all the core members of the Gran Army for a meeting.
This is indeed a caucus meeting. The three most valued disciples of Cai Dao, Callie, Feilin and Haide, gathered together. Here, Reinhard announced the reason for summoning everyone: "The teacher is practicing now. We don't want to disturb him, so there are some things that need to be decided by everyone. The teacher has decided not to cooperate with the Black Iron Resistance"
"In fact, there is no need to cooperate with them!" Feili couldn't help but interrupt: "They have no capital to negotiate cooperation with us, and this transaction is destined to be a loss!"
Reinhard nodded. As someone who has been operating this matter, he knows the process best. He quickly added: "The teacher's opinion is that if the Black Iron resistance does not surrender, they will be wiped out. In fact, this resistance The army has a certain reputation in the Black Iron Province. It would have been difficult to take action before, but now Ewing, one of the leaders of the Non-Resistance Army, has decided to defect to us!"
After scanning for a week and seeing everyone's expressions, Reinhard curled his lips and said: "That little noble is definitely not our opponent, but we cannot let them exist, as it will affect the rule of the Gran Army. Therefore, we must Do something to force that little mouse out, and you must force them to jump out on their own initiative! Now, I want to ask for everyone¡¯s opinion whether we should immediately launch an attack on the resistance.
Levin and Feli thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement without hesitation. He thought that Reinhardt was right and there was no room for a second army in the area occupied by the Gran Army. But Callie and Feilin agreed without thinking. Only Hyde struggled for a long time before agreeing, and finally added: "Don't hurt too many lives!"
From here, it can be seen that the core responsible members of the Gran Army set by Cai Dao were not successful. Hyde is very kind and popular, but he is obviously not an excellent leader. In a sense, Kallie is more of a pure warrior, while Feline also has her own limitations of vision. The three of them may be powerful.Wizards and warlocks, but never good leaders and decision-makers. From this point of view, Cai Dao himself is not actually a good leader.
Since this meeting, the three apprentices who have experienced a lot and learned a lot have shown their abilities after rapid growth. This decision can almost be said to be made by the three of them. In fact, it is also difficult for the three Kallie people to do this. At this moment, it was also a coincidence that the three Reinhardts bravely assumed the decision-making power, and the prototype of the future core and leader of the Gran Army finally straightened up.
Cai Dao still knows nothing about all this, but if he knows that the three apprentices have shown their ability to be independent and even leaders, it will probably be an even bigger headache. Think about it, the future of the Gran Army is indeed in the hands of three people.
After making the decision to annihilate the resistance, Hyde and the others were mostly just spectators. The three Levins quickly studied how many soldiers to send and who should take the lead in this matter. No one could argue with Feili. Feili was very generous and only asked for the dragon cavalry and an infantry battalion, and took the initiative to take over the task.
By now, Reinhard and others had a vague feeling that the Gran Army lacked an effective force. Although they knew it was lacking, they could never figure out what it was. In fact, this is what they have always lacked, or perhaps it is better to say that the Gran Army is very lacking - civility!
Throughout history, forces without the ability to govern can only become warlords. No matter how big they become, they are just pitiful and pathetic warlords, and they will never make greater progress. Martial arts is not enough to replace everything. Force can win wars and defend everything, but it cannot fulfill the function of management.
The current Gran Army lacks civil governance and extremely lacks the ability to govern civilly. Now the territory occupied by the Grant Army is not large, and it can still be managed by Hyde and others. If the territory occupied is large, then a strong civilian system must be needed to manage everything - but one of the members of the Grant Army Not even a civilian official.
Cai Dao has some ideas about playing war, but cultural management is beyond his understanding. However, as long as the Gran Army demonstrates its abilities, there will naturally be talented civil servants to defect to it in the future.
Cai Dao doesn¡¯t need to care about all this. In his mind, as long as the Gran Army takes over the Western Continent by force, there will be no problem in getting any kind of minerals. But he has never thought about how to manage such a huge amount of soil. In fact, neither the soil nor the people are what he wants, so naturally he will not consider or care. All he needs to do is to expand the territory of the Gran Army and train a group of strong soldiers. As for civil affairs, let others have the headache.
The irresponsible Cai Dao is naturally not someone we should imitate, but Reinhardt and the other three can vaguely feel that this is already a great improvement. At least this proves that they can appreciate everything from a broader perspective. If they look at it from a higher perspective in the future, they will find all the hidden dangers and solve them
