. Your Excellency, First Minister of State, are you sure that without the Atlas Sea Knights our fleet is sufficient to enable our army to occupy Baines for a long time? "In the imperial conference hall, after reading the statistical documents Li gave us, Lan Yuan raised her head and asked Li. "Previously, our scheduled expedition soldiers were 30,000, but now we have an additional Swan Castle Legion. Sorry, it¡¯s not that I have distrust in the work of the Statistical Association, but I don¡¯t want anything to go wrong. All combat plans are registered with the Ministry of Military Affairs. I don¡¯t want to see one more example of a battle lost due to miscalculations in the research tutorials of various military academies in the empire. That would be embarrassing for the Ministry of Military Affairs. "
Li: "Then Mr. Lan Yuan, you can check whether the information given to the Statistics Association by the Ordnance Department is consistent with the information given to the Military Affairs Department. If so, there will be no mistakes. What about other material warehouses? We double-checked it four times a month.
The quota is set based on the standard of 40,000 troops fighting in the East, which is fully capable of supplying the empire's troops to be stationed in Baines for a long time. Moreover, after occupying the holy city of Bains, the merchants of the empire will share the pressure of the imperial government to a certain extent and bring the wealth captured by the imperial soldiers back to the empire. "
"Haha, it's too early to talk about occupation now, Li. No matter what, the Nanmutu Empire still has nearly 100,000 troops"
"There are not many people who can fight with us, Your Highness" Li smiled and continued: "I am not worried about the battle. I believe that Your Highness and the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs have already won. I am more worried about the occupation. After the Holy City of Bains, what means should we use to govern that place? Should we let the friendly troops from the Eastern Expedition who attacked Baines City with us enter the city first? I have to say that the Eastern Lana Empire is in the pagan territory The strategy implemented above is simple and very effective. Of course, there is another way to refer to, which is to let every heretic in the city pay a certain amount of ransom and leave Bains freely, but this is far inferior to the Eastern Lana Empire. The strategy was effective. The pagans occupied the Eastern Lana Empire for only a hundred years, and their population completely became the main population in that area. Even if the pagans left Baines City, where could they go? If the empire wanted to occupy it for a long time The massacre of that city is essential, otherwise it will just be a waste of the Imperial Army."
"I think so too. Your Excellency, the Chief Minister of State, is right, Your Highness." After listening to Li's words, Osten nodded. "Instead of letting the soldiers under my command maintain order among a group of jealous pagans, it is better to save this trouble. No matter what, you will be hated by them, no matter how friendly you are to them. Anyway no one will Pay no more ransom for those infidels.¡±
"It can be sold to the Ding Dynasty people or the Atlas Sea Knights" After hearing what Ostein said, Li raised a finger and reminded: "All we need is that place, and occupy that place for a long time. There. It allows us to trade with merchants in the East more conveniently. Whether it is the Western Continent, the Southern Road or the East, all trade goods must pass through there. Andin today's pagan world, we can no longer find a strong enough enemy. There is nothing to worry about anymore. No one can take those places away anymore. If you look at the Pars Kingdom, you will understand that even though the Mutu Empire has established order and rule there, it was not long after the Mutu Empire was defeated by us. The Pars overthrew Belebe of the Mutu Empire there and re-established the Pars dynasty. I think the Eastern Lana Empire decided to destroy the Mutu people precisely because they saw this. We ¡You can do the same thing. Let the pagans go to the places where the pagan emperors rule, and we will only govern the orthodox.¡±
After listening to what Li said, I smiled helplessly: "Hahafaith."
"No, Your Highness, although it can be interpreted as faith for the entire Western Continent. But from my personal point of view, this has nothing to do with faith. It is just for the long-term governance of the place. We can guarantee that the people of the Winged Lion City State, San Baihe People and people from all over the Western Continent abide by our laws because our laws follow similar customs. But we cannot guarantee that pagans will have a good impression of the laws that we think are 'reasonable'.
"Slaughter can certainly arouse hatred, but if everything they rely on for persistence is destroyed, how can they hate it?" There are indeed many examples of people fighting each other because of hatred in history, but I have never heard of the destroyed ancient Ahis hating the Sala religion. "
"Li. I don't know why you have this opinion. But this feeling is not good. I believe there will be a way. I am a little tired" After finishing. I stood up. Walked out of the conference hall. Li Di sighed from behind.
to be honest. This feeling is indeed very bad. Even for me who is used to the rules of survival in this world. It¡¯s not that there¡¯s anything wrong with the genocide argument that Lee holds. But after I recalled the memories of past lives in my brainDevelop
The lands are all correct lands. In previous lives, those colonies were colonized by conquerors after they exterminated the indigenous people. Even if they break away from the suzerain country, how many people will hate the original suzerain country? It's the land. What Li said was very practical. The people of the Western Continent would not hate Roland. Especially the people from the Western Continent who have already settled in the Northern Mutumaniya region. From now on, they will only think of Roland as the hero of the Restoration. Instead of describing her as an executioner.
As the Chief Minister of State of the Imperial Government. The suggestions made by Li are very practical. now. The Eastern Expedition Army no longer needs to take into account the ideas of the Mutu people in the East. There is no need to maintain temporary stability with justice and order like the last "Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre" in Eastland hundreds of years ago. Because now look around the entire Sarah Cult world. There are no longer characters like the "Arrow of the True God" and the Sala Cult army that is enough to pose a threat to them.
Sending an army of more than 30,000 people to the distant east takes a long time to prepare. One month later. The first fleet from the expedition finally set off. With the first fleet departure was Osten. The Swan Castle Legion and I are scheduled to depart with the last fleet. That is to say. It will take another two months. And in the meantime. The wind brought a sword to my ground.
"Not for Cesare. I'd rather be nothing." He finished reciting a line of common language engraved on the sword. Sigh. Put the sword on the desk. Looking at the sword, Xiufeng asked: "Tell me about him. How did he die?"
"Fight to the death! Use this sword!" Feng pointed at the sword placed on the desk. His answer was simple. But just from the word "die in battle", I can probably guess that Feng thought highly of him. Also, if we don't have enough talent, how can we allow us to prepare an assassination plan for him for more than a year.
After listening, he nodded gently.
In my mind, I remembered the appearance when I first met this young man seven years ago. Perhaps from that time on, his fate was already determined.
Seven years later, although the final result was somewhat different, he was still thirty-two years old when he died.
Thirty-two years old
It was also seven years ago that I encountered that assassination. At that time, Cesare and I were about the same age. I thought I was going to die. And later, when I got up from the hospital bed in Lana City and heard the bells on the holy mountain, what I thought about was what kind of stage the world will give me next. I have seen many admirable people die, on the battlefield, on the hospital bed from the soldiers and knights under my command, to Prince Haji of the Mutu Empire and the emperor Mengniu Lao Zhangren. And Cesare when he knew that his life was over, what would be the last thing he thought of? Glory, throne, power, conspiracy? Even though the stage the world gave him was not big enough, this man still performed his own legend. After experiencing everything, he knew that he would die. What was he thinking? I'm curious, is it just the Berzia family?
This world gave Prince Haji of the Mutu Empire a big enough stage, but he died before the Lanyuan Castle Pass. The last thing he refused to do was the iron gate of the last wall of the Lanyuan Castle Pass. Performing on the same stage in the Western Continent, even though I only had a brief conversation with Prince Haji, I still felt the charm of the soul in that dying body.
And now looking at Cizer¡¯s sword, that feeling came back to me again. It must be admitted that Cesare is no less a person than Prince Haji. This era has given Roland, the fierce father-in-law, Prince Haji, Cesare and all kinds of people a variety of different stages, and they all perform Created a legend of their own. This era is likethe unbridled mask carnival in Winged Lion City, butnow, I feel an inexplicable sadness. As this sword was placed on my desk, I had a vague feeling that this era of carnival was coming to an end.
I must admit that the few absurd and crazy eras in human history are more charming than those long but unremarkable years of rule or peace, because such eras include the fierce father-in-law, Prince Haji, Alando , Roland, Cesare, Pope Alisander VI, as well as those former subordinates and enemies. This world has become full of legends because of them. It is precisely because of these characters that human history is so fascinating, a carnival of human history.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Today, talented kings, skilled warriors, and cunning careerists are all buried underground. Only a cold tombstone tells the story of their lifetimes in a few languages. That feeling just like when I first came to this world, I took an afternoon nap on the mountain behind the Stone Castle Church. The gentle breeze was blowing in the woods, and there was a hint of coolness in the rustling sound, as if it was telling the legend of the distant era, telling the story. Stories that are untold.
Only the wind knows (To be continued,)
