Chapter 1036 New Arrangements
As heavy snowfall was blowing, the New Year carnival in Hollier City became a historic day in the Kingdom of Karen.
Roddy is good at creating momentum, so he promoted this reunion of the demigod-level dragon clan into another important summit of the "Human-Dragon Clan" alliance in the newspaper. Although they were actually just listening to lectures by Kardashian and others, Roddy did hold several temporary meetings with the lords, and the photos in the newspaper were also taken during the meeting, not a scam.
The most direct impact of this kind of news is the stability of the people's hearts and shocking the surrounding areas.
The kingdom has begun to gradually recover from the influence of war. Roddy is very clear about the impact of "public opinion" on the people of the country and now has established a "Propaganda Department" to supervise all newspapers and magazines published within the kingdom.
The Karen Kingdom is now in the stage of recovery and transformation. The so-called "transformation" mainly lies in the update of farming technology and the gradual popularization of crystal energy. These two points can essentially liberate a large amount of labor and boost productivity. When a large number of people no longer worry about their livelihoods, the "industrial revolution" will naturally appear.
Roddy, as a person on earth, knew this process, but the others who participated in the New Year carnival were unaware of it. What he was thinking about was more about how to solve the current problem: a seemingly unified and beautiful country is still facing various challenges.
Looking at the dragon clan and crowd singing and dancing in the half-plane in front of him, he held the wine glass in his hand and finally made a decision in his heart, stepping towards the position of Soderol and Erwin.
"Ervin, although the military camp does not allow alcohol to drink, there are still people who can stop you from drinking during the holidays? Why do you feel like you have never drunk alcohol in your life!"
Elvin, the representative of the officer, was drinking a huge oak wine glass. Soderol next to him laughed at him, and the latter laughed and replied: "It's not the wine from the Prime Minister yet! Compared with the wine from the taverns in the town, it's simply a waste!"
Soderol was wearing a straight military uniform. Today is a formal occasion, so he naturally would not wear armor. His ancestors were a nobleman, so he was naturally familiar with participating in such activities. Now he has been in charge of the army for a long time and is free from the pressure of a general.
Roddy walked over and said hello: "Drink whatever you want, please be enough. But I don't care if I lie down."
Elvin was originally Roddy's personal bodyguard. He served as the company commander of the special forces company in the war. After becoming famous for several battles, he now serves as an "instructor". Not to mention his superb martial arts skills, his understanding and application of "special forces" may be the benchmark existence of the armies of various countries in the mainland.
Soderol was much more idle after the war. After all, for these elite soldiers, the task of unifying the remaining territory of the kingdom was not difficult, and the only troublesome thing was the reconstruction of the post-war order and the demobilization arrangements of soldiers.
Fortunately, Roddy did not create a war with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the strength of the thermal weapon war is not measured in the number of people. He has proved this with this unified battle. Now that the infantry division has been arranged in various military regions, the rules of rotation every two years have been set. In addition, the work arrangements of veterans after retirement have been gradually improved. Now serving in the Karen Kingdom is a "glorious cause", far from being comparable to the reputation and treatment of the noble private soldiers in the past.
Because the kingdom does not allow other nobles to own troops, other nobles are now completely inseparable from "recruiting troops". When it comes to power, military tycoons like Soderol are now absolutely "real power factions".
Of course, he knew how he came from this power, so although he spoke casually in front of Roddy, he was not very kind at all.
"Prime Minister, this guy drinks alcohol like drinking water. It's useless for him to drink so much, and I'm wasting my opinion."
"It's rare to get together once a year, I can still afford it, just drink it!"
Roddy smiled and said a few words, then clinked glasses with Sodlor with Erwin. The latter saw that Roddy had something to say to Sodlor, so he left with an excuse.
"It's not easy to have this day... How have you been in the past six months? Your swordsmanship hasn't regressed, right?"
He asked casually, and the two were comrades-in-arms who were fighting during the scouting period. When he was galloping on the grassland and fighting orcs, no one expected to stand here to drink today, so there was a lot of emotion in his words.
"It's far less time to practice than before, and I have to deal with a lot of things every day." Soderol said to the truth, "But after the military region's system was improved, it was much easier than the situation that was completely relied on manpower. Compared with the previous nobles, I was not a little relaxed. So I can still make time to practice swordsmanship now, so I shouldn't be able to fall behind."
The modesty he said was that Roddy could actually see that Soderol had advanced to level 47. This strength was far superior to the two great knights of Everta's Titus and Wellington.
There are indeed resources here: in the past, you had to carefully maintain and polish the swords when practicing swords, and you felt very distressed if you broke them. Now, not to mention weapons and armor, it is no problem to invite top swordsmen to practice. Therefore, for this genius, it is normal for him to improve his swordsmanship in swordsmanship.
"Just leave." Roddy responded, Soderol was keen and immediately heard the outspoken voice: "Hey, Prime Minister has new arrangements?"
"Some thoughts, but I haven't confirmed it yet. But I feel relieved when I see General Soderol not sleeping in the gentle country."
Roddy looked at the scene where the dragon tribe and humans laughed and celebrated together in the semi-plane, and whispered: "The army cannot be trained alone. If you don't have contact with actual combat for three to five years, your combat effectiveness will probably decline significantly."
Soderol nodded in agreement. They were born in the army and of course they knew the tricks. But fighting a war is really a burning money. Sometimes this is indeed a difficult thing to balance: if you don’t fight, the army will inevitably be sluggish; if you fight, the country’s finances will be tense.
"I know what you are worried about, but I'm thinking about another way." Roddy smiled and stopped talking: "After the holiday, make those recruits nervous. Don't think that after the war is over, you can lie on the straw stack every day to earn a salary."
"Yes, Prime Minister." He replied intently, seeing Roddy waved his hand to let him relax, then he smiled and said, "Hey, I remembered the days before. I was also a guy who was lying to wait for military pay."
