1710 Make Money

It is not that the Prime Minister has not considered talking to the Federal President about continuing to increase military dispatch, but he also knows that this is unlikely.

The Federation has begun to try to take the initiative on the battlefield of Nagaril. At this time, they will only stabilize their current situation and are unlikely to take Amelia into consideration.

Recruiting fighters who are willing to fight for money is the only way the Prime Minister can think of for the whole society and the world.

In fact, everyone knows very well that the Penjiao people will definitely send people to sneak in, but this is not important.

Because mercenaries perform the most dangerous tasks, if Gefra's army is allowed to perform less dangerous tasks, the army will not be dissatisfied and say stupid things like anti-war.

For those mercenaries, they enjoy higher treatment and higher wages, just to have a try!

If you win, you will naturally make a lot of money!

If you lose, it’s just a life!

Anyone who is willing to join the mercenary army and go to war with the Pengjiao Military Group for money must have a great desire for money!

After the news of the cabinet was announced through the conscription news, the entire island was caught in a heated discussion. Some people thought this was a stupid approach for the same reason as the cabinet members thought.

They think that the enemy will mix into this mercenary team, and they will pay a lot of military expenses for it, but they will not get many valuable results. This is obviously a stupid move.

However, some people think this is a good idea. At least those whose family members are still fighting on the front line, or who have someone in their family who may go to the front line anytime and anywhere, are very satisfied with it.

Their only hope now is that their families can be safe and survive.

But they seem to have forgotten one thing. Once the war fails, they will lose much more than they may lose now!

Everything that happened in Gafra was promptly reported to the federal government. After learning of the Prime Minister's decision, Mr. Trueman could only express his personal support.

He was unable to provide more aid to Gaevra. Several billions of loans had just been allocated, and there were still 200,000 troops.

If we send more people to the Amelia region, the Nagaril War Zone may not be able to keep up.

By now, Mr. Trueman and the military have fully understood that Gefra is of no use at all.

The only thing they can do is attract a little firepower to the Federation!

In the past, they all regarded Gefra as the federation's struggle for world hegemony... no, the biggest obstacle to maintaining world peace. Now it seems that they overestimate Gefra too much!

A new round of federal recruitment is also underway, but the federal society is more rational and active in discussing war.

The good news coming back from the front only fueled recognition of the war and that the federal government had bigger plans.

At this time, Mr. Trueman has understood a truth. When it comes to maintaining world peace, the Federation itself is enough. The only thing that makes Mr. Trueman feel a little troublesome is that the size of the Pengeo military group is really a bit big.

He was answering the phone at this time. On the vast southern continent, some of the vassal states of the Pengeo Empire also began to expand to the surrounding areas. The war has reached this point, and both sides know that there is no room for relaxation.

At least until one party falls, there is no room for relaxation.

The war consumed a lot of resources, and the international copper price has risen to the sky, and is still rising every day.

Within the Pengeo Empire, other voices gradually emerged.

Just like the anti-war voices that exist in both Gaevra and the Federation, these voices are not so strong yet, but they already exist!

"Some people have been arrested in various places during this period. How should we deal with them?"

In the palace, a minister asked the emperor about government affairs.

His Majesty the Emperor frowned.

He knew that the people the minister was talking about who were captured were those who were talking in private about the direction of the war.

These people did not directly stand up and loudly question the development trend of the war, but their actions eventually affected some people.

Some people will come forward to report and expose their behavior that shakes people's hearts, but some people agree with their views this time.

In the past, if such a person was caught, he would be thrown into prison. In more serious cases, he might be executed directly.

Now that the minister is asking this question to himself, it can only explain one situation -

That’s how many people were arrested! Too many!

The emperor's frown quickly relaxed, "Are many people arrested?"

He noticed that the minister had used "everywhere" before, which he thought should be quite a lot.

The minister's expression was also solemn, "In total, there are... thousands of people."

"Thousands of people!?"

There was some noise in the palace, and some ministers and nobles even directly questioned the elders.

Question how they deal with public opinion issues!

In the Pengeo Empire, elders can be regarded as a very special group. They are representatives of public opinion. These people exist from regional city halls to the imperial palace.

To a certain extent, they are also capable of supervising, managing, and guiding public opinion.

The elders also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the accusations made by the nobles. They could not take care of everyone, and some of them were also exposed by them.

The messy palace made the emperor's expression very unpleasant. He patted the handrail hard, and the hall suddenly became quiet!

In the past, the method to deal with this kind of people was very simple, but now it is indeed a bit tricky because there are too many people.

When there are too many people, it may cause some social problems, but it is also dangerous to let these people remain in society.

His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and finally decided to lock them all up.

"In addition to these people, we must do a good job in supervising public opinion. The Presbyterian House must strengthen its supervision of people's thoughts."

"What we are facing this time is a completely different opponent from all the enemies we have faced in the past."

"They have similar production capacity to us, and their population is not much smaller than ours. This is destined to be a difficult war."

"In a short period of time, it will be difficult for us to determine the winner!"

"But when we can see victory, it will be a great victory that will be recorded in the history of the world, and we will become the new masters of this world!"

"Now, everything we have paid for it is worth it!"

"I know that the night is long and difficult, but I believe that the heroic spirits of our ancestors will protect us through the long night until the dawn comes!"

This was His Majesty the Emperor's statement. The minister who asked the question sat back down again.

Once the emperor decides, he can start dealing with those people.

In the Pengeo Empire, imprisonment is not necessarily an easy punishment. You must know that any law enforcement agency in feudal society has certain privileges.

It is normal to die in prison. Although there are many of these people, the social atmosphere has also been affected.

Locking up a group of people may not necessarily have a deterrent effect, but you still have to kill a group of people inside!

Immediately afterwards, some people stood up and kept reporting some of the problems they were encountering now, such as the lack of resources.

As a country whose history books are full of foreign wars, Pengjiao's domestic resources are not actually rich.

In the long history of wars, many of them were wars of external expansion launched to seize resources!

This time they also faced the same problem, there was not enough copper ore!

Iron is okay, but copper is really not enough. This is why they began to expand externally. They need more resources to support this "battle for world belonging."

Problems that the ministers had difficulty making decisions were solved in the hands of the emperor. This process was somewhat long and lasted all day.

They rested for a while and ate something. Everyone seemed very tired.

Every country and every political party has its own achievements and problems that it needs to face!

At night, people walking on the street tighten their clothes.

There were not many pedestrians in the city of Pengeo during the war. As soon as the war began, the society began to implement a rationing system.

Who and where they work, and how much materials and income they can get every day or every week are all determined.

This system has been implemented for a long time, and people who did not have much freedom have become accustomed to it.

If people don't have much money in their pockets, business will naturally not develop and the entire society will become depressed.

The commercial district is not very popular, but there are different scenes around different communities.

Many people gathered together to discuss what happened during this period, the war, production and work.

This is a tradition in Pengeo society. It may be that people are more innocent and have not lost their minds because of "freedom". People are willing to share everything about themselves with others.

This makes each area have a lively place.

Everyone sat together in different circles and said different things.

After finishing his meal, an ordinary middle-aged man also joined in these lively chats with a smile on his face.

After finding his old acquaintances in a familiar place, as soon as he sat down, he took out a pack of cigarettes, opened them, and handed one to everyone.

"What a good day today, our cheapskate is sharing his cigarettes!" one of the chat participants joked with a smile.

The guy who shared the cigarettes was usually stingy, but today he became very generous. This made people wonder if he had encountered some happy event.

Some people tried to test him with words, while others asked him directly.

He didn't say anything, he just smiled sullenly, and the smile on his face couldn't be faked. One look at it and one could understand the pride in his smile, and there was also a hint of showing off!

During the war, Pengeo's rationing system caused everyone's income to drop sharply. On the surface, it seemed that the government had solved the necessities of people's lives, but people's lives were not as simple as filling their stomachs.

Consumption is also the most basic need for people's survival.

Nowadays, everyone has little money, and there are almost no ways to make money. This is why some people question the future.

There is still no hope of victory. How long will this situation last?

The middle-aged man took a puff of the cigarette happily and exhaled it slowly. The proud look on his face made people want to punch him!

Maybe he also realized that he deserved a beating now, and there was a message revealed in those unkind eyes!

"I have a way to make money..."
