Hearing the saying of going south to make money, many officials looked much better. They have indeed reaped unprecedented benefits in the south. The rich resources in the South really make everyone ecstatic.
The elf Kingdom has many minerals, as well as gem mines and many other precious minerals. What makes the Northland Kingdom even more ecstatic is that magic crystals have been found here, and the reserves are still quite huge.
If there are other benefits of the land obtained, the southward troops of the Northland Kingdom earn a lot in the elf Kingdom, which is the envy of many troops.
"Because of the discovery of magic crystal, the wealth has increased a lot." an official nodded with satisfaction and agreed with the whispered words of the official in charge of finance.
"I suggest that we should continue to advance northward and attack the German Empire after fully occupying the elf kingdom!" a minister in charge of economy stood up and proposed: "add 50000 troops! Take the German Empire!"
"Agree! We should subsidize the Northern Line war. At least we should devote part of our attention to the countries in the south! It is also a war zone, isn''t it?" another minister said, looking at the Lord beside him.
"It''s no good for us to expand the war! Gentlemen! Don''t just look at the immediate interests! It''s always easier to destroy than build. We take so many places and we have to build so many places. Do you think it''s a good thing?" King Gladwell finally spoke and interrupted everyone''s quarrel.
"I know everyone wants to gain benefits in the South quickly, and I would like to do so! But we can''t be anxious. We should win steadily! If we win a place, we should stand firm there!" he slowly opened his mouth and stressed to everyone.
"Send qualified officials to manage the elf Kingdom and turn it into our granary. That''s what we should do now! As for going south... We can discuss it another day!"
"Now we have to think about what the war will look like in the future!" King Gladwell stood up and walked to the map behind him with a serious expression: "the latest news, the German Empire has spread more!"
He knocked on the map and glanced at all faces: "before, we and they all wanted to use a decisive battle to destroy our opponents. In fact, this kind of large-scale war is beneficial to us! We are good at collective warfare, which is our advantage!"
His words were a little cold, which made all the officials who had just warmly discussed the South attack involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Someone took out a handkerchief from his arms and shook the sweat left on his forehead.
Just now they were so complacent that they were full of thoughts about how to make money for themselves and the chaebols they represented. But they forgot, this is the kingdom of Northland!
Whether making money or developing industry, everyone here must rely on the breath of King grawell. Their strength is only a paper tiger, and the strength of King Gladwell is really strong.
In the kingdom of northland, his Majesty''s golden words are the same. If he ordered to eradicate any family, other ministers would not even ask the reason, and would carry out the emperor''s order.
This is the ruling power, and this is the prestige of King Gladwell in the kingdom of Northland. Although he doesn''t often express his opinions and even hesitates sometimes, no one dares to question anything when he speaks.
King Gladwell''s hand drew a circle in the area where the battle was fought yesterday: "before, whether the German Empire or the elf Kingdom, they all thought they could win us in the frontal war, so our tactics were the same! They all concentrated their forces and looked for the main force of the other side to wait for a decisive battle."
After that, he paused and continued to say, "but... Now, our enemies realize their mistakes. They dare not assemble their troops because they are afraid of our lethal weapons!"
"As a result, they may find new tactics against us! I call it guerrilla warfare!"
He went to the map. He pointed to the enemy troops near Belleville and said, "once they disperse, start attacking our army with small-scale troops, and then consume our army with local conflict, we will fall into a very passive situation!"
"Even if they infiltrate into our military controlled areas, or go deeper and reach our core industrial areas, we will pay a heavy price!" said King Gladwell, looking at the others.
"Before, they just targeted me and calculated how to assassinate me! If they want to understand and put the attack on the city, what will we face? Have you ever thought about it?" King Gladwell asked.
After his questioning, everyone suddenly found that the invincible Northland Kingdom on the front battlefield did not become strong, but became fragile when resisting the enemy''s attack.
Compared with four years ago, the kingdom of Northland is now full of high-value targets. It is unlikely that it will continue to fight after abandoning half of its territory.
Previously, strategic locations were nothing more than some castles and some cities. Even large cities are easy to rebuild. As long as the personnel are still there, or as long as enough personnel can be filled, these cities can recover soon.
In such an era, losing a city is nothing more than losing some population and some minerals. For a vast empire, it is far from breaking bones and muscles. But now, such a good thing is gone forever.
I have to emphasize that everything has changed now. Large cities in the kingdom of Northland need water and electricity, strong underground sewage treatment systems, and prohibitively expensive infrastructure.
Nowadays, when attacking cities, as long as an important target is bombed, people''s lives will become a mess.
If the water source is destroyed, a city will be paralyzed, people will lose the ability to live, and the whole city will collapse in a few days. At that time, the city will stink, and only countless toilets will become a big problem that is difficult to solve.
Throughout the city, there are countless important facilities, the largest docks and ports, none of which can be abandoned.
What''s the truth of preventing thieves for thousands of days? In order to protect these important facilities, the kingdom of Northland has made great efforts, but there will be more such facilities in the future.
