Chapter 166 It’s Time to Take Action
Marietta: "You want to turn the nobles into business groups or big entrepreneurs who invest in industry.
Zelen: "If a country wants to develop, it is complete nonsense without prosperous industry and commerce. So the nobles have connections and money, and the most suitable thing for them to do is to invest in industry and commerce. Is it possible that we still have to learn from those primitive countries and return to the small-scale peasant economy? In the era of feudal landlords? It was absolutely impossible for a country in the feudal era to defeat the Akitsu Empire. , and the Akijin Empire has a fairly developed industry to support their conspiracy to invade the Krorod Empire, attempt to occupy the territory of the Krorod Empire and exterminate the Japanese and Mai people. In the past, those knights rode a war horse and held in their hands. The fairy tale of a sword is simply impossible to realize now, especially in our Crurod Empire.”
Jane: "Fairy tale...Natalie, Nathalie, what do you sisters think?"
Natalie: "Can I not speak?"
Nathalie: "Anyway, I don't feel anything anymore."
Knowing that Zelen had no girlish feelings at all, let alone any romantic sentiments, the two sisters looked bitter.
Although they are very honored to be able to enter the palace and serve His Majesty Zelen, like the heroines in fairy tales.
Even in the near future, they will definitely give birth to offspring for Zelen.
But whenever they heard Zelen speak like this, their hearts were filled with all kinds of feelings of collapse.
In the real palace, there are many "sisters", they are all good-looking, and there are people who can fight better than me...
Anyway, the sisters don't have anything to say in their hearts, as long as the work they do usually goes smoothly.
Zelen: "Although I don't want to offend you about fairy tales, you all know how the pig-headed people and the black-haired kobolds treat us Rimai people. Therefore, if possible, I actually want to Let children know their masterpieces from an early age, and let every generation of children in the Crurod Empire know what it feels like to be the enemy of the entire world.”
Natalie: "Don't! It will scare the kids!"
Nathalie: "Sister, you can rest assured. Congress will not approve it. Even if other officials nod in agreement, Uncle Senagou will not approve it, and he will definitely not approve his suggestion."
Natalie: "Oh, that's right! Uncle Senagu is the Minister of Education, and this matter falls under his jurisdiction."
Zelen: "I said you... it's fine, it's up to you."
In fact, regarding education issues, officials from the Ministry of Education definitely know how to teach children. After all, except for Senagou, most of the officials in the Ministry of Education are teachers, and even the deans of some high-end colleges. They are familiar with education, very familiar with it.
Qin: "But then again, is General Tang willing to use this weapon?"
Zelen: "I can rest assured about this. Major General Tang has never let everyone down, and as a front-line general, he will never forget the priority of the Northern Expedition. What's more, things like biological and chemical weapons are not casual. It’s something you can take out and use on your own initiative, because it’s not a toy.”
Although he said this, Zelen knew in his heart that the pig-headed men in the Akijin Empire must regard these things as toys.
If you don't want the pig-headed man to show off his toys casually, you have to take action first and carry out a preemptive and devastating blow.
Moreover, there is an advantage in targeting the black-haired kobolds first, at least their retaliation will not be that fast.
At the same time, the black-haired kobolds are not pig-headed men, and they do not have any missile weapons.
It’s difficult to beat yourself up.
What's more, judging from the fact that they don't even have the technology to refine diesel trees, and they don't even know what diesel trees are, they probably can only come up with the "smart" method of directly using high-explosive gunpowder as missile spray. matter. Of course, if they did, a giant mushroom cloud would bloom.
Of course, Zelen also knew very well that the black-haired kobold might be smarter and purify the alcohol to a high concentration to make high-energy fuel.
But this technology is not easy. Even the Orchid Republic, which is currently the most successful, can mix alcohol with corn oil to make biofuel, but the cost is definitely not something that the current black-haired kobolds can accomplish.
After all, due to its political structure, the Orchid Republic has the ability to keep the costs of certain collective projects or technological research as low as possible.
But in other countries, this is not something that can be laughed off.
If it is not done well, it is not impossible for the country to go bankrupt.
After all, in today's world, it is nothing new for gold coins to be issued due to a lack of gold mine sources, eventually leading to national economic bankruptcy.
As for national bankruptcy, this is a very fatal thing.
This is where the collapse of a country begins.
If people without money do not receive reasonable guidance from the state, sooner or later they will turn towards banditry and start committing various acts of burning, killing and looting.
And according to the historical records of the Krorod Empire, no less than 30 countries outside have been destroyed in this way.
To be honest, Zelen himself didn’t know why a country had to issue gold coins even though it didn’t have many gold mines.
After talking about it, there is actually only one answer, stupid.
Stupidity is something that no medicine can cure.
So this is why the countries that were considered great powers in the past attached great importance to education. Apart from anything else, an army composed of illiterates is just a stupid army. It is impossible to achieve the requirement of winning every battle, let alone shouldering the needs of national defense and repaying the expectations of the people.
Especially those countries that do not even have a standing army, rely entirely on the so-called knights, and recruit some serfs who miss their farmland harvests every moment as the main combat infantry.
They are just sending themselves to death in front of the aircraft tanks and even mecha warships of the Crurod Empire.
However, Zelen also knows that these backward countries have the same idea as the Takagi Kingdom, that is, they do not want the people to become smart because of education, thereby threatening the rule of the ruling class.
Is it beneficial to the prosperity of the country to just guard against the people and even create an aristocratic class to divide the people's rule?
Thinking of this, Zelen looked at his ten wives, whose origins represent different classes and forces. But even Qin, who has the highest status, is not much different from Camelia, who comes from a civilian family.
Therefore, if possible, he really hopes to abolish the aristocracy.
He does not want the differentiation of classes to lead to the division of the country, and he does not want to use religious ideas, which are useless and will lead to deficits in the national treasury, to glue the people of the whole country together.
Moreover, Miao Jie and Yasmin have proved that even if you do not worship gods, you can master the power of magic.
Not to mention that the Japanese have successfully killed gods in history, and there are the remains of gods in an underground research room in Sugui City as research materials, and the corpses of demons are used as the target of some special weapons and equipment of the Japanese today.
After all, only the Japanese can safely use some powerful enchanted weapons in the world without being backfired by the enchanted weapons.
Compared with Zelun's thinking, Kubo Ken is now facing a difficult choice.
The black-haired dog-headed man named Toda Nagamasa has already recruited a lot of subordinates to try to switch to another resistance force.
In this regard, even if there is a mysterious person to guide him and tell him how to reunite the people, Jian is reluctant to follow the instructions.
Because Jian's real idea was to just shoot them all and chop off the heads of Nagamasa and his men and display them in public.
But he couldn't do it now.
Especially when Nagamasa controlled the arsenal and had a lot of weapons and equipment.
Moreover, Nagamasa had been trading privately with the Dark Elf in the south without him knowing when. So he had no idea how much Nagamasa had left unsold, and how many subordinates he could continue to win over.
No.
This time he couldn't continue to listen to the mysterious man's instructions and find a way to make Nagamasa continue to work hard for him. When it was time to take action, he couldn't hesitate at all...
