1701 Is This Possible?

The light rain in early summer keeps falling, which is a very common thing for Gaevra. At the same time, it also brings some troubles to people's lives.

What bothers me is not the rain. In the island country of Gefra, rain is as common as finding a place to sit down in the afternoon and ordering a cup of coffee and a snack.

What bothered them was the change in temperature.

Because this is the beginning of summer, the temperature change before and after the rain is a little big, and a temperature difference of more than ten degrees can make people catch a cold.

The cold is not a minor illness, and many people die from it every year.

There were already long queues outside the pharmacies on the streets, and the Prime Minister quickly looked away from them.

He was sitting in the car. He had just finished a meeting with some big nobles and was walking to the Prime Minister's Office.

There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, and the whole Gafra seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, even though the rain had stopped and the sun had come out.

This kind of dark cloud is not a real dark cloud, but a shadow, the shadow of war, the shadow of changes in the world.

The Pengeo Group continues to move south through the Homer Corridor, and the news of expanding the third front has come back, and the nobles don't seem to care too much about it.

In the meeting just now, they all believed that the Pengjiao military group went south to plunder more war resources!

Some people even believe that this is a symbol of the decline of Pengeo's military group!

On the first day of the fierce battle between them and the Federation in Nagaril, both sides scrapped a lot of ordnance. Pengeo hurriedly gathered his troops and headed south. In the final analysis, it was for the ore.

They did not agree with the Prime Minister's statement of "going south and west to approach the island of Gefra" and believed that the Prime Minister's statement was just one possibility among many.

If the Pengeo Military Group really wants to rely on opening up the central area of ​​the Southern Continent and directly obtain the westernmost outlet to the sea in order to achieve the purpose of landing on Gefra Island, then it can only be said that this story is too boring!

The straight-line distance from the Homer Corridor to the area suitable for landing on Gefraben Island is at least 2,700 kilometers.

It is simply impossible for them to penetrate more than 2,700 kilometers!

This isn't just driving on a flat road with no patrols, other cars, or trouble, this is war!

It is impossible to let them pass through the countries they encounter along the way, as well as the surrounding countries, without any defense at all.

Diplomacy and war, it may take them several years or even longer to achieve this, but if it really took that long, maybe the war on the main battlefield would have ended long ago!

The remaining harmonious nobles in the country do not agree with the Prime Minister's idea. In fact, the Prime Minister also knows it very well.

Their "disapproval" is not a disapproval of the hypothesis he proposed, but a disapproval of him!

He has overthrown the rule of the royal family and ushered in a more advanced governance system for Gaevra. The emperor has become a mascot, and power is firmly grasped by the prime minister and cabinet!

If he still wants to use this thing to do something, many things will be deformed!

People are still waiting for him to announce his resignation and give up the position of prime minister. How can he gain more support for him at this time by using a "more threatening" topic?

The attitude of the nobles made him don't know what to say. He felt that now was not a good time for him to leave. There were still many things that had not stabilized.

What he wants to leave to people is a stable, peaceful Gafra with development opportunities and a bright future.

Rather than a beaten up place.

The car drove slowly on the road, smoothly and without any bumps. The Prime Minister sighed and closed his eyes.

The uncooperative part of the aristocratic group was driven out of the island by him. Among those who originally supported him, some stood against him...

He was very tired, and he didn't understand why he was working so hard, but he had to persevere.

Because behind this, there is everything worth holding on to!

The glory of the empire, the glory of our ancestors, our own persistence, ideals and ambitions, and people... countless people!

Compared with the fatigue of His Excellency the Prime Minister, Mr. Trueman does not feel much. For the current Federation, they have nothing to fear!

"...Currently, we have preliminary results from our survey and environmental survey in the north. The good news is that we have discovered many rich mineral resources. The output of these mineral resources is enough to support us in finishing this war!"

After hearing this, Mr. Trueman wrote and drew in his little notebook for a while. This was indeed good news.

The war is about money, and what is about war is resources.

He didn't quite understand this sentence before. At that time, he was not in his current position, so he didn't quite understand what the relationship between war and money was.

But after reading Lynch's theoretical books on financial war and sitting in this position, he truly realized that war means burning money!

Because anything can be converted into money.

Soldiers can be seen as paying to hire a patriot, and spending money to arm and train them to meet the minimum standards of warfare.

Then spend money to send them to the battlefield, spend money to make up for their losses in the war, and if you are not lucky, you have to spend money to pay a pension to appease the families of the dead soldiers, and then spend money to take them or their Bring the ashes back.

Bullets are money, cannonballs are money, and planes are money too!

Everything is related to money, and war is about fighting for money!

Whoever has more money and a solid foundation will gain an advantage. This is Mr. Trueman's more accurate understanding of war.

In addition to money, there is another very important thing, which is resources.

Fortunately, there are many resources in the Federation itself, and Nagaril also has many rich minerals. Now that a large number of mineral resources have been discovered in the north, the last worry in his heart has been solved.

The country's productivity is at full capacity, and the consumption of resources is so staggering. If the Ministry of National Defense had not submitted a report, he would not even be aware of this problem!

If the current intensity of the war continues, the resources of the Federation and Nagaril will not be able to support the whole society's terrible production capacity for how long!

It's not that they have no money, but that some resources can't keep up, such as iron ore, copper ore, especially copper ore, which the federation is short of!

Fortunately, these problems can be solved, but Mr. Trueman also has a question, "How do our opponents solve this problem?"

He leaned back, took one hand off the table, and grabbed the pen with the other hand, playing with it casually without any subjective consciousness, "They have a longer history of war than us. Logically speaking, they are against The consumption of resources should also be more than ours.”

"We destroyed a lot of their ordnance in a few days. If they want to organize production, they must have resources, right?"

"Just a casual chat!"

An intelligence official responded to this question.

"Mr. President, there are some satellite countries behind the Pengeo Empire, and the ruling classes of these satellite countries have essentially joined Pengeo."

"But they retained independent countries just to exploit these countries to the greatest extent."

"Besides that, it gives them more resources."

"At the same time, the contradictions are blocked outside the national borders!"

The Penjiao Empire is actually not new or clever, but it is very practical!

Some of the subordinate countries in the Pengeo military group are playing the role of being sucked. Their wealth and resources have been taken away by the core countries, leaving only poverty and contradictions.

The people do not completely hate the Pengeo Empire, they are more dissatisfied with their own country's leaders.

In this way, they can not only avoid the internal conflicts caused by plundering after annexation, but also obtain the various resources they want, while leaving the conflicts to themselves.

When there is a need, they can completely change their strategy, incorporate this part into the empire's system, and then turn them into cannon fodder.

Or simply kick them out of the Allies and let them fend for themselves.

The method is not clever, but it is really practical.

Mr. Trueman rubbed his chin. The Federation couldn't do that, at least not while he was in office.

If you want to lead the world, you must present a gentle and righteous image.

A tyrant cannot rule the world. The only way for a tyrant is to be overthrown!

Mr. Trueman blinked, "So does this have anything to do with them going south?"

"I heard that there is a theory that they went south for the resources of the southern continent, but Prime Minister Gefra and I talked on the phone and he talked about a worrying possibility."

"Is there a possibility that the Pengeo people will punch a passage through the middle of the southern continent and land directly on Gefra at the westernmost outlet?"

Because of the support from the Federation on the battlefield of Amelia, there is still not much progress.

Mr. Trueman actually knew very well that the Amelia battlefield was no less important than the Nagaril battlefield.

Once Gaevra is defeated, the member states of the World Development Council and those neutral countries cannot unite to fight against the Pengeo military group. In the end, the Federation alone will have to fight against this powerful country.

Even if the Federation is leading the world in everything, it is difficult to support the power of one country to fight against half the world.

So this time the Gefra people wanted money, people, and things. In the end, Mr. Trueman reached an agreement without hesitating for too long.

We have to support Gaevra and push them to continue the confrontation with the Pengeo Military Group, so that the main force of the Pengeo Military Group is always dispersed on the two fronts.

Now the Prime Minister has put forward a new conjecture, which makes Mr. Trueman feel a little... troublesome.

Once they really do that, it will be difficult for the federation to intervene in this matter. First of all, the federation cannot directly interfere in the politics of these landlocked countries.

Secondly, even if troops need to be transported, it is difficult to deploy the troops to the battlefield in a timely manner.

After all, in terms of the current federal military system, although the army has the largest number of people, its war strength is indeed not high!

It would be difficult for them to intercept Pengeo's idea of ​​opening a new front!
