Chapter 19 Northern Province...Alas
So a month later, the news that the entire territory of Semeru Island was recovered and 110,000 people hiding in caves and basements were rescued soon reached the palace under construction in Sugui City.
Zelun: "It's just as I thought. The poisonous lice are afraid of the spray of this liquid crystal! And they will explode once they touch such a jet. In addition, the soldiers below are really smart. They directly put liquid crystal preparations into the mortar shells to act as sulfuric acid bombs. Not bad, not bad, now our empire's soldiers are no longer a group of obedient idiots."
As Zelun said, the Rimai people who experienced the compulsory education of all people in the era of the Pao Republic are definitely not a group of fools who are extremely ignorant and addicted to illusions.
Although such basic compulsory education has added a large burden to the finances of the Krurod Empire, it is worth it, and it is worth everyone's investment.
If you want to take the national strength of the Krurod Empire to a higher level, education is an inevitable threshold.
Miao Jie: "So, I want to thank you on behalf of the shamans. You have made it impossible for them to use healing magic in the future."
Zelen: "This... uh... you also know, how many shamans are there in our Rimai people? There is only one shaman for every 10,000 people, and the shamans here are not elites like you who can throw fireballs. At most, they know how to remove poisoning and cast a magic that petrifies their skin. More advanced magic..."
Faced with Miao Jie's complaints, Zelen naturally began to find a reason to shirk. After all, he was not wrong. If the Rimai people want to have magical powers, they can't just catch a few of them and train them.
Every Rimai person has only one chance to take the test and find out whether they can use magic.
Unfortunately, Zelen is a Rimai person who can't. As for Miao Jie, she is a Rimai person who has a magical talent since she was born.
Based on the fact that most Rimai people basically don't have magical powers, the Krurod Empire naturally puts more energy into researching technology.
Especially in terms of firearms, the arms dealers of the Krurod Empire provided the empire with a sufficient number of modern weapons and equipment.
Miao Jie: "Stop. Anyway, if you do this... you will be in trouble with my grandmother in the future."
Zelun: "I know."
Listening to Miao Jie's complaints, Zelun felt helpless when he looked at his mansion, which looked like a palace but was not completed.
Because he was the emperor, there were guards of the palace outside, and he lived with Paula, Natalie, Naseli, Miao Jie, and Marietta inside.
To be honest, although the five of them had very beautiful faces and excellent figures that could not be hidden under the refreshing clothes, Zelun knew that he would not be able to escape their control in the future.
But it's okay, he is not his grandfather, and he needs to report to the officials below for everything, and he needs to relax and have fun at night. He delegated power to the Congress, and he only needed to let his emperor, who ruled but did not rule, had no actual power, and mainly played a symbolic role, be good.
After all, he didn't understand too much political affairs, and he couldn't understand what he heard, so it was better to give up power and act as a mediator between the various parties. And he actually liked to work in the arsenal more than staying in the palace.
Especially after the Linmington Arms Company became his own arsenal, he was often responsible for the production of bullets there. After all, although making bullets was boring, he felt very energetic.
And at night, when he was ready to rest, he would not really hug them to sleep. Because he was the emperor, the prime minister would specifically ask for his opinion on certain matters. So he could put forward his own opinions for the prime minister and the parliament to refer to, but the decision was on the parliament's side. Of course, he could put pressure on the prime minister on certain specific matters.
In the current situation, the empire has a lot of things waiting for the parliament to discuss with him, and soaking in their arms... at least he is not in the mood now.
Of course, on this basis, he also has to reward some meritorious people. However, the list of people who were awarded various awards was drawn up by the Congress, but he could also put forward his own opinions and discuss with the Congress.
As for if he thought that some of the Congress's actions were inappropriate, he could naturally issue a warning. At that time, he would have to wait for the officials below to form a new team in order to produce new members of the Congress and a new prime minister.
Therefore, it is not easy to be an emperor. One of the most difficult jobs in the world is to be an emperor.
But compared to these, the Golden Moon Party, that White Mike, in order to thank him for his idea to completely recover Semeru Island, said that he would send a granddaughter of the same age as himself.
What can Zelen do about this? Refusal is unlikely and unrealistic. What's more, people know that he is not afraid of magic attacks, and hope that he... Alas!
Anyway, his place will be very lively in the future.
Especially when he has to take them to accept teacher Vivian's lecture tomorrow.
So, he is looking forward to going to other places in the empire more often to see what the situation is in these places.
But compared to the fact that he still had to continue to receive education from teacher Vivian, the members of the Congress on the second day were extremely excited about the performance of the liquefied crystal.
Envira: "Senagu."
Senagu: "Don't look at me like that. I agree to list Tiber crystal as military controlled materials and manage it uniformly by the army. After all, we don't know where it comes from, nor do we know what its actual effect is. But since the soldiers below like it, I have nothing to say. Moreover, Semeru Island should be re-immigrated and rebuilt. After all, our country is made up of islands one after another, and the trade and contact between islands must never be interrupted."
Lux: "That is to say, from now on, we have to consider recovering the Eastern Province or the Northern Province."
Envira: "My personal opinion, the Eastern Province."
Bourne: "Because the Eastern Province has a large area and a lot of resources in Jaya Island? Well... Although I think this is a good choice, if we want to recover the entire Jaya Island named after Jaya Peak, the number of troops must be at least 240,000. And it must be all army, equipped with a sufficient number of army weapons."
Speaking of Jaya Island, which has a land area of more than 790,000 square kilometers, Defense Minister Bourne is very troubled.
Because there have always been cannibals on this island who have long threatened the lives and safety of the people of the Crurod Empire, and there is a continent in the south of the island, and there is another country on the continent that is thinking about how to invade it.
The former Emperor Naiser was planning to take action against this country, and he did not hesitate to impose all kinds of heavy taxes to raise enough military funds and materials, and forcibly recruit as many troops as possible from the people. As a result, this led to the Republican forces at that time taking advantage of the people's dissatisfaction and launching an armed coup with the help of foreign forces from outside, overthrowing the rule of Emperor Naiser.
If it were not for the fact that Jaya Island is a place with a large number of mountains and ridges, rich metal veins, and a large number of swamps suitable for transformation into rice planting areas, Bourne would not agree with the prime minister's resolution.
However, the northern province... Alas!
Bourne himself was sad when he thought about it. When the foreign enemy invaded, this area was the first to fall and suffered the most serious losses. Moreover, compared with the poisonous explosive lice, the troops of the pig-headed people have made the Crurod Empire quite afraid until now.
First of all, it's not that most of the pig-headed people can't be defeated. The problem is that the northern province is also composed of islands with smaller land areas and many rivers. The terrain of the islands forces the current Crurod Empire Army to need more aircraft to gain air superiority to ensure that the warships on the sea can retake one island after another.
But the problem is that the pig-headed people will drive a kind of deformable fighter to fight in the air, and suppress the clustered infantry on land. At the same time, compared with the black-haired dog-headed people who only harm civilians, these pig-headed people will use various interference equipment and eavesdropping equipment to formulate relevant defense tactics...
