Chapter 172 It Is Better to Rely on Yourself than on Others
Bourne: "The above is the battle report record of our attack on Roha City.
Zelen: "As long as the soldiers maintain this momentum, the time it takes for us to regain the northern province will continue to shorten."
Byrne: "Understood. But Eastern Province..."
Zelen: "The black-haired kobold rebel forces that have emerged in the Eastern Province are, for now, beneficial and harmless. I believe the soldiers in the army can defeat them."
Bourne: "But now they are not the only ones in the Eastern Province. The blond people from the Mania continent and the cannibals who originally existed in the Eastern Province seem to be showing signs of uniting."
Zelen: "Even if they are in a controlled state with their eyes glowing?"
Byrne: "Yes."
Zelen: "This shows that someone is trying to enslave intelligent creatures around the world that have no resistance to mind control through mind control."
Bourne: "Then Your Majesty..."
Zelen: "For now, no, we cannot agree to the Negan Empire's request."
Bourne: "I understand. But then..."
Zelen: "The Negan Empire is not the Krorod Empire, and they are not qualified to give pointers to our strategy. At the same time, this is an act of interfering in the internal affairs of our country. If they really want us to participate in their plan, then Show more sincerity. Just verbal promises are completely meaningless.”
At the same time, Zelen, who was listening to Bourne's report in the inner palace of the palace, still refused the so-called assistance from the Negan Empire without hesitation.
Even though such assistance would definitely bring a lot of rewards, he couldn't just agree. Casually agreeing to the request of the Negan Empire was definitely not in the interest of the vast majority of the people of the Crurod Empire.
Moreover, the current Krorod Empire does not have enough financial and material resources, or even the troops to go to the distant northern ice fields.
Bourne: "Understood. Next, we need enough people on Bisayang Island to participate in the construction and development."
Zelen: "Worried about logistics?"
Bourne: "Yes. Especially after we sent a fleet of transport ships carrying a large number of Pig-headed soldiers into the sea, we found traces of Pig-headed small submarines many times."
Zelen: "Well...does the Congress disagree?"
Byrne: "Yes."
Zelen: "Discuss with them more, they will understand. Moreover, you don't have to ask me for help with everything, they will have opinions."
Bourne: "Uh, yes."
In short, after sending Bourne away, Zelen himself couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
His Majesty the Emperor has so much work to do.
So much so that he didn't want to continue talking about this and that with a bunch of bureaucrats and nobles.
No wonder the Queen of the Negan Empire would delegate all political affairs to the outside world without even asking about it.
So tired.
Looking at the increasingly dark clouds outside the palace, Zelen now feels why there are so many smart people saying that the palace is a luxurious version of a prison.
He got it.
This is under the premise that he has delegated a lot of power to Congress, and Congress has handled many things for him.
So he listened to the symphony of rain outside and really wanted to find a place to have a good rest.
It's no wonder that male members of the royal family who only marry one wife like his father are a rare breed. If he could, he would also hope to find someone to comfort him.
However, rather than seeking comfort, he had to look at the recent reporting documents from the Lymington Arms Company.
The trophies left by the pig-headed men are said to have led to new research breakthroughs.
Qin: "This is actually about this. With the inspiration of the wave energy cannon and the help of the same type of weapons and equipment of the pig-headed man, we have a new idea for the beam gate."
Zelen: "This is the design of the three-beam gate I have."
Qin: "Yes. We found that the army had very obvious complaints about the weight of the six-barreled gate being more than 120 kilograms. Therefore, due to the complaints of the army, Lymington Arms Company and other arms manufacturers jointly designed this three-barreled gate. 's manuscript.
Zelen: "Well. Then hurry up and let the army see its prototype as soon as possible."
Qin: "I understand."
Zelen: "By the way, do the Negan Empire or other forces that are still developing normally have similar beam weapons?"
Qin: "As for the Negan Empire, they actually prefer a kind of light bomb weapon called blaster. However, their light bomb weapon only looks like the wave energy light bomb of the Pig-headed Man, but none of us know the specific principle. "
Zelen: "Secret?"
Jean: "Yes."
Zelen: "That means we have to rely on ourselves."
Speaking of this, Zelen looked embarrassed. Even though the Crurod Empire had captured a large amount of trophies, the text labels on them...the number of domestic translations was not enough.
Moreover, he also allocates part of the manpower here to engage in various logistical tasks.
If the Negan Empire knew about his situation here, it would not keep his uncle busy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Qin: "Actually, we have thought about a suggestion, allowing engineers to enter the pig-headed weapons and equipment production facilities, or related research facilities to seize their technology... But I can also guess that pig-headed people cannot all They are a bunch of blind people, and it is even more impossible that they will not arrange sufficient or even strict security guards around important facilities.”
Zeren: "Just the cutting ray generator they used for anti-armor, it took us more than a month to understand the principle inside, and successfully take it out for actual combat testing. Therefore, if we want to reverse engineer and replicate technology, we need to implement education seriously. The reason why our Krurod Empire is a modern country is not because we have all kinds of guns and weapons, but because our education work can benefit every citizen of the Krurod Empire. Now we don't need illiterate people, nor do we allow illiterate people to exist. The idea that most people in the country are illiterate, like the Gaomu Kingdom, is convenient for the ruling class to rule, will only make a country poorer and weaker."
In fact, Zelen is just as everyone guessed. He does not trust foreign forces and has a clear rejection of guys like the Nigan Empire and the Holy Church.
The only people that the Japanese can trust are the Japanese themselves.
As a last word left by Bingyang, the great father of the nation who once led the Japanese to launch an independence war and escape slavery, but unfortunately died at the hands of the northern human nation, Zelun does not think that this word said more than 1,000 years ago is outdated.
On the contrary, the Akitsu Empire's bad policy of condoning the black-haired dog-headed people to rob, kill, and burn everything, as well as the fact that a large number of military and civilian prisoners were sent to the biochemical reactor, has proved everything. Only oneself, and only oneself, will value oneself and control one's own destiny.
Qin: "Zelen?"
Zelen: "Nothing. Anything else?"
Qin: "The Holy Church sent representatives to the company. They said... they want to buy the technology of the regeneration chamber."
Zelen: "You think too much. This is wishful thinking. If there is any problem, let them talk to me."
Qin: "You can rest assured about this. They won't come to you."
Zelen: "That's good. But to be honest, if they can use the infrasonic broadcaster I sold them, it will be a magical weapon that can make countless fools worship themselves. You must know that the infrasonic waves generated by the infrasonic broadcaster can not only repair the body, but also the damaged parts of the armor plate. With this ability, even All the Dark Elves of the Negan Empire will have to worship it, which will greatly save the working time of their medical soldiers and maintenance workers. "
Qin: "I know this. But won't this make the Holy Church more dangerous?"
Zeren: "Because the infrasonic broadcaster is not of much value to us Japanese people, and the money exchanged from the Holy Church not only allows our agriculture to have sufficient funds as a necessity for starting projects, but also has considerable benefits for related handicrafts and even light industries. At the same time, thanks to them and the cooperation of the Akitsu Empire, the food restriction order can be considered to be lifted in half a year, at the fastest. However... it would be better to postpone the time, and the necessary food storage work cannot be delayed. "
