Chapter 2899 Tyrant Qualification
The three princesses rode lizards from one security area to another, mainly moving on the coastline of the Earth Powerful Nation, because the Fire Nation's army could only affect the coastline and could not go further into the interior.
The strongest thing in the Fire Nation is the navy and its steel battleships. As for the management of the land, they usually set up camps, use high walls to block the guerrillas, radiate the surrounding areas, and then immigrate from the Fire Nation. However, the number of immigrants in one hundred years was not large. It was only in the past twenty years that the number of immigrants began to increase, but it was far from being able to meet the requirements of the powerful country occupying the territory.
The princess brought two friends with her, and she naturally knew that her friends did not know how to control magic, which was contrary to her belief that "the magicians are supreme". But she believed that if she couldn't defeat her friends, then such a magician would be considered rubbish and not qualified to be her subordinate.
If there are too many magicians, they have to be sorted out in groups. There is no way, the princess's interests are not unlimited, she can only give priority to the powerful magicians, and then distribute them one by one, and cannot treat them equally. When she first started her family, any princess would be willing to spend thousands of gold to buy the bones of a magician. But now that her family's fortune has grown and there are more magicians to join her, she has to pick and choose.
Two friends use acupoints, a throwing knife, a close restraint, and a long-range kill, all of which are very restraints on the magician. If he can't defeat them, this kind of magician cannot be reused at all.
Of course, the princess also knew that having two ordinary people around her would definitely cause dissatisfaction, but she was a princess and she didn't care, she was just so willful. She will not compromise herself for the benefit of the group. From the princess's perspective, the "Magician Supreme" group is here to fulfill her ambitions, not for her to fulfill her ambitions.
Apparently the princess started making mistakes, and now there was no one left who had been thinking from her point of view. Although the military advisors are as smart as Dulan, they rely on the princess for their own interests, not for the princess's interests. If the princess made a mistake that would benefit them, they would not remind the princess. Only Dulan does not need the interests of the princess and is selfless.
The princess did not realize that her men rallied around her not because of her charisma, but because of the rules she proposed, and the way she proposed distribution.
When Xiang Yu wanted to burn Liu Bang's father, Liu Bang did not let his soldiers charge into the battle to save his own father. Instead, he directly told Xiang Yu that if he cooked it, give him a piece of the pie. Liu Bang's army is not Liu Bang's own, so you can't use the army to save your biological father. If your biological father is captured, you can only give up.
When the interests of the person who established the rules conflict with the interests of the rules, do you protect your own interests and destroy the rules, or do you protect your own interests and destroy your own interests? This is the difference between a tyrant and a wise king. A tyrant breaks the rules for his own benefit, but a wise king does the opposite. The princess's character is that of a tyrant. It doesn't matter if she can create enough benefits, but if the benefits are not enough and she gives herself priority, it will be very unlucky.
For now, the princess's interests are divided enough, so she brings two mortals with her, while others turn a blind eye.
When a princess comes to the security area, she usually does two things: show her strength and draw pie, thunder, rain and dew, carrot and stick. To put it simply, it is to reiterate the penalties and benefits in one's own distribution relationship.
In fact, most people don't care about rewards but punishments. As long as the benefits given by the princess are enough, it doesn't matter even if they are tortured in all kinds of ways. Because what they follow the princess is all about the benefits. As for punishment, as long as they abide by the rules and don't take benefits that they shouldn't take, they are not afraid at all.
Punishment is a means to maintain distribution relationships and ensure that no one dares to take benefits that do not belong to them. The distributed benefits are what unite people's hearts. The princess has benefits, so she is very popular in the security area.
The princess is here, and the governor of the security area can't help but complain that there are not enough supplies, there are too many unruly people, the guerrillas are too ruthless, and there are too few weapons. It is best for the princess to send more weapons so that they can sell them. The princess promises that there will be weapons and supplies. The guerrillas should be attacked, but not all of them. Kill those who have no money, keep those who have money, and select high-quality customers.
The two sides exchanged opinions in a friendly manner and reached a consensus. The princess cordially greeted all the officers and soldiers in the security area, asked about their needs, and had an affectionate conversation. During the period, the princess reiterated the basic principle of "Magicians are supreme" and said that the Fire Nation would not forget its foreign soldiers. For their selfless contributions, they highly praised the contributions of the security guards and called them the heroes of the Fire Nation.
From one security area to another, the steps are similar. The princess even personally participated in the trade with the guerrillas and visited the trading market between the security forces and the guerrillas.
There are many unspoken rules in the market. Firstly, you must not do anything, and secondly, you must have integrity in doing business. Moreover, both parties in the business provide food with one hand and weapons with the other.
It's hard to imagine that the two parties in the business are actually life-and-death enemies. They are very particular about doing business. The Fire Nation's weapons and medicinal materials are very popular, and the food and raw materials provided by the Earth Power Nation are also very good.
Both sides get what they get. At the same time, the logistics channel established by the princess through the battleship is also playing a role, which can be transported efficiently. Time is money. When the logistics is smooth, business will be easier to do.
However, with the increase in weapons, the size of the guerrillas can no longer be regarded as guerrillas. A regular army has been established, and the number of people armed has exceeded 10,000. If an attack is really launched, the security area may not be able to defend it.
Fortunately, the guerrillas also have a complete combat plan. Liberating one or two security areas is not their goal. Their goal is to counterattack the Fire Nation. Although the guerrillas have enough light weapons, their strength on the sea is not enough, so they have to continue to accumulate strength, and their method is to find a way to buy warships from the Fire Nation.
Since the light weapons have been sold, why can't the warships be sold? Warships are so valuable, and many warships are old, so just sell them.
After selling them, it's okay to say that they are sunk.
They can be sold, but the princess must sell them, and not now. Now the princess needs these warships to transport goods, and only with ships can she attract business.
"What I am most worried about now is that the guerrillas have bought enough light weapons, and then they will have to buy warships, and we need warships, so we can't continue to make money." The princess told her two friends about her troubles, which are the contradictions between market demand and her own insufficient supply.
What can the two friends say? They just found out that the princess is playing so big that even the sale of warships has been arranged. Has the Fire Nation's finances reached this point?
The war was fought because of the bad finances. Who would want to fight if the finances were thriving? Unfortunately, after a hundred years of war, the finances were stretched to the limit, so they could only sell the country and sell the valuable things of the Fire Nation. As for what will happen next? If the transformation is successful, the Fire Nation still has a chance, but if it fails, it will be finished.
The most valuable things in the Fire Nation now are natural resources and industrial products. Warships, airships, armored vehicles and other things are the most valuable, followed by light weapons. If they can be exported, there will be no big problems in the next thirty years. If the industry can be upgraded through trade, there will be no problems in the next fifty years.
In short, the princess's route is like this, selling the Fire Nation to maintain the supremacy of the Bending Spell, selling the supremacy of the Bending Spell to fulfill herself, and ultimately all for the purpose of fulfilling her ambition to ascend the throne.
