"Bring me the data of the sixth phase of surveying and mapping. The effect of high-altitude reconnaissance does not seem to be very satisfactory. The problem that the research department needs to solve is how to take comprehensive images on the reconnaissance plane, understand?"
In the conference room, Rody, who was wearing a military uniform, explained his thoughts to the newly established staff team in front of him: "The research department's definition of 'reconnaissance' is somewhat different from what I think. We don't need to be at the five-kilometer mark right now. From a high altitude, you can clearly see what headlines are written in the newspaper in Charles II's hand. The reconnaissance plane surveys the terrain and the enemy, it is not a satellite..."
"Uh... Your Excellency Prime Minister, what is a satellite?"
"Slip of the tongue, you don't have to think about it, but you should record what I just said and submit it to the research department. Houdini knows what to do."
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The one who answered Roddy was a young man under thirty years old. He had good facial features, but his left arm was stiff. This guy named Liszt was supposed to inherit his father's knight fiefdom and continue to serve the lord, but because of With a disabled arm, he has lost the ability to fight the enemy. Originally, the ending that greeted him was likely to be family ruin, bankruptcy and homelessness, but he never thought that his luck would turn around. After agreeing to serve Elson a few months later, he stood at the core of Efta and served the Prime Minister himself!
The gray-haired Duncan next to him was in the same mood as him. At the same time, there were four young people in the room selected by Camilla through the "civil service examination" to form Prime Minister Roddy's "staff team".
Camilla was the only staff member of Roddy before. But with the continuous development of the territory, although she can be used as ten by herself, she can't take care of too much after all. Now that the war has begun, more capable people are needed to implement the plans everywhere, and the formation of a staff team has become an imminent matter. Camilla herself selected four of her capable assistants. This was a decision she made after long-term observation and testing. She thought that the number was not enough, but she never thought that Rody would directly name the group who had just been selected. Liszt and Duncan were selected from among the civil servants, without even mentioning redundant reasons.
Such a promotion is against common sense, but since Roddy did it, Camilla will not doubt it casually. Facts have proved that these two people have done a good job in the two weeks after they joined the staff. Although they are not outstanding, they can do everything according to Roddy's requirements, which is not an easy task in itself.
Naturally, Camilla didn't know that the two people Roddy chose were both well-known think tank leaders in another time and space. , but during the war, he repeatedly made key suggestions to the superior lord, and his status has been promoted all the way because of this. Later, the war intensified and the lord died in battle. He led the remnants and ambushed the two orc teams with a team of less than a hundred people.
It caused a sensation at the time. Later, it was merged into the banner of the leader of the rebel army, Soderol, and became the right-hand man.
At that time, the situation was extremely difficult, and it was not "evenly matched" with the orcs at all, and it could even be said that humans were at a complete disadvantage. But Liszt was able to lead a group of soldiers to create conditions and use local advantages to win small-scale wars, and he was called a "master of tactics".
The older Duncan is good at logistics and numbers, and his later life experience is also quite bizarre: at first he was the butler of Earl Winston. When the war came, he wanted to go to the battlefield with his master, but he was helpless. Earl Winston was defeated and fled before the battle. He was not good at riding, and he voluntarily stayed to intercept the pursuers when he couldn't run halfway. Unexpectedly, the orc turned away because he was chasing other targets, which saved his life. However, when he went back to find Earl Winston, he discovered that he had committed suicide because of cowardice...
With nowhere to go, he joined the surviving royal family at that time, but he shined in logistics and economic issues, and was quickly promoted to the core sequence. During the war, Charles II was not so particular. He only felt that Duncan was more capable than those only The nobles who can talk nonsense are strong, so they waved his hand and let him be the deputy prime minister.
What about the consequences? Because he rose too fast and was jealous, Duncan was assassinated and killed on his way home one night.
There is a saying that the importance of a person does not depend on his performance when he is in the team, but on the result of the team without him. Without Duncan, the high-ranking royal family immediately collapsed in terms of finances that had just stabilized. Charles II changed four deputy finance ministers within three months without any improvement, and eventually fell into the quagmire of deficits, which was basically equivalent to bankruptcy.
Of course, "bankruptcy" will not be caused solely by the absence of Duncan, but this proves his ability from the side. At this time, Luo Di took the first step to win over these two talents, naturally for the purpose of having a more efficient and mature team to cooperate in the future governance of Efta.
However, the current staff team is in the process of running-in. Purely from the perspective of ability, the four selected by Camilla are obviously better, because they have adapted to the work rhythm of Elson City in the past six months.
"How's the progress on Kardashian's side?"
Rody flipped through the latest report on the quantity of logistics supplies, and signed the document after checking.
"Your Excellency Kardashian went to Fort Domick after the completion of the aircraft factory, and is expected to return today... um, at 8 pm."
Immediately there was an answer from the side. Rody froze his movements, and glanced at the "clock" created by Kardashian's magic circle in the center of the room. It showed that it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
The invention of "clocks and watches" is naturally inseparable from Roddy. Before that, the Karen Kingdom basically relied on sundials to keep time. The source of time for common people to distinguish time is mainly by the clocks in towns and cities. The timing device that is carried with him is only a small hourglass. But now, the "clock" that relies on spar energy to keep time has been ordered by Rody to be popularized throughout Efta.
The first batch of clocks were manufactured by the arsenal. Because of the large number, the cost was reduced to five silver coins each. This price is unbearable for ordinary people, but the first batch of 1,000 clocks are all used in the battlefield and related areas, the purpose is to make the battle plan accurate to the minute.
The Kardashians are probably the busiest people in Elson City these days. With the successful research and development of the "airplane", Pashaer's magic tower's laboratory has been unable to meet the needs of aircraft testing and further research. After the construction of the airport outside Elson City, Rody directly approved her to take Sylvie with her. Ya and the others built a large-scale "aircraft manufacturing factory" next to it. The R&D team assisted by magic is amazingly efficient. In just three days, the prototype of the manufacturing factory has been completed, and now batches of materials are being piled up by trucks. At the Material Handling Plant, what was made inside was a secret from everyone else in Efta.
"Let's sort out the feedback from Tasman's report, Liszt, I hope you can analyze these things, and tell me your opinion and follow-up processing methods tomorrow."
The staff team is not just an attendant who simply reports and transmits voices. Rody needs their insights and opinions, and makes inferences from different aspects. The young Liszt was a little excited about this, and stood at attention with a trembling voice: "Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister!"
"Do it for you," Rody waved his hand, and then added: "'Rosie Cross' has sent a bishop over, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Elson in three or four days, and then see if he can Treating your broken arm is free."
Liszt didn't expect that there would be room for treatment for his disability, and immediately bowed deeply to thank him. Although he knew that Roddy was buying people's hearts, what's wrong with being able to work for such a master?
He left in a hurry to deal with his tasks, but Roddy and Camilla were still not idle. The latter buried his head in stacks of documents and charts, and several staff members were explaining in turn the amount of grain currently paid by the nobles of each territory.
This point, in fact, is not well understood by everyone present, including Camilla.
