Hearing the idea of going south to make money, many officials' faces became much better. They had indeed reaped unprecedented benefits in the south, and the rich resources in the south really made everyone ecstatic.
The Jesno Empire has many minerals, as well as gem mines and many other precious mineral deposits. What makes Elanthir even more delighted is that oil has also been discovered here, and the reserves are quite huge.
If the acquired land and other benefits are taken into account, Ailan Hill's troops going south have made a lot of money in the Jesno Empire area, making many troops envious.
"Because of the discovery of the oil field, the stock price of Imperial Oil Company has risen a lot." An official nodded with satisfaction and agreed with the words of the official in charge of finance.
"I suggest that after fully occupying the Jesno Empire, we should continue to advance south and attack the Bameshir Empire!" A minister in charge of the economy stood up and suggested: "Add 100,000 troops! Capture Bameshir.
empire!"
"Agree! We should subsidize the war on the northern front. At least we should devote part of our attention to the countries in the south! They are also war zones, aren't they?" Another minister said while looking at Gur next to him.
Luo.
"It is not good for us to expand the war! Gentlemen! Don't just look at the immediate benefits! It is always easier to destroy than to build. We have won so many places and we have to build so many places. Do you think this is a good thing?"
Chris finally spoke, interrupting everyone's quarrel.
"I know that everyone wants to gain benefits in the south quickly, and I want to do the same! But we can't be impatient, we must be steady and win! If we win a place, we must establish a foothold there!" He said slowly, to
Everyone emphasized.
"Select qualified officials to manage the Jesno area well and turn it into our granary. This is what we should do now! As for continuing to go south... we can discuss it another day!"
"What we have to think about now is what the war will look like in the future!" Chris stood up and walked to the map behind him with a serious expression: "The latest news is that the retreating troops of the puppet empire are spreading wider.
Got it!"
He tapped the map and glanced at everyone's faces: "Before, we and they both wanted to use a decisive battle to eliminate our opponents. This kind of large-scale battle is actually beneficial to us mortals!
We are good at fighting collectively, this is our advantage!"
His words were a little cold, making all the officials who had just been discussing the southward attack heatedly swallow their saliva involuntarily.
Someone took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead tremblingly.
They were too complacent just now, and all they could think about was how they and the plutocrats they represented made money. But they forgot that this empire is Elanthir, and there is another emperor in this empire who has more power than any emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor is countless times more powerful!
Whether it is making money or developing industry, everyone here must rely on Chris's breath. Their strength is just a paper tiger, but Chris's strength is truly powerful.
In Elanthir, His Majesty the Emperor spoke the truth. If he ordered a family to be eradicated, the other ministers would carry out the Emperor's order without even asking why.
This is dominance, this is Chris's reputation in Ireland. Although he does not often express his opinions, and sometimes hesitant, when he speaks, no one dares to question anything.
Chris drew a circle with his hand in the area where yesterday's battle was fought: "Be it the puppet empire or the holy demon empire, they all thought they could defeat us in a frontal war, so our tactics are the same! They all concentrate their forces.
, looking for the opponent’s main force and waiting for an opportunity for a decisive battle.”
After finishing speaking, he paused and continued: "But... now, our enemies have realized their mistake, and they no longer dare to gather troops because they are afraid of our weapons of mass destruction!"
"In the end, this may allow them to find new tactics to attack us! I call it guerrilla warfare! The Magic Empire's senior magicians, the Demonic Snake Troops, and even the giant dragons are all suitable for small-scale combat."
Having said this, he looked at Chief of Staff Luo Kai and ordered: "Please introduce the counterattack that the puppet empire may launch next."
"Yes!" Luo Kai stood up from his position and walked to the side of the map with his chin held high. He pointed at the enemy troops near Bellevue and said: "Once they disperse, start harassing them with small-scale troops
Our army, and then use local conflicts to consume our army, then we will fall into a very passive situation!"
"Even if they penetrate into the area controlled by our army, or go deeper and reach our core industrial area, then we will pay a heavy price!" After saying that, Luo Kai stood next to Chris.
, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.
"Before, they only targeted me, and all they planned was how to assassinate me! If they figure it out and attack the city, have you ever thought about what we will face?" Chris
asked.
After his questioning, everyone suddenly discovered that the technological empire of Airan Hill, which was invincible on the frontal battlefield, did not become stronger when it resisted the enemy's attacks, but instead became weaker.
Compared with four years ago, it can be said that there are high-value targets everywhere in Elland Hill. In the past, it was possible to continue fighting even if half of the country was abandoned. Now it is unlikely to continue to happen.
In the past, strategic locations were nothing more than some castles and some cities. Even large cities were easy to rebuild. As long as the people were still there, or as long as enough people could be filled, these cities could recover quickly.
In this era, losing a city is nothing more than losing some people and some minerals. For a vast empire, it is far from breaking the bones. But now, such good things are gone forever.
It must be emphasized that everything has changed now. Large cities in Ireland need water and electricity, powerful underground sewage treatment systems, and prohibitively expensive infrastructure.
Nowadays, when attacking a city, just blowing up one power station may affect many surrounding power plants. Once the transformer is destroyed, the long-distance power grid will be paralyzed, many places will lose power supply, and people's lives will become a mess.
.
And if the water plant is destroyed, then a city will be paralyzed, people will lose the ability to live, and the entire city will collapse within a few days. By then, the city will be so stinky that just countless toilets will become difficult to solve.
Big problem.
There are countless important facilities in the entire city. The castle has the Iron Hill steel smelting factory, the ferry city has the largest dock and port, and there are so many research departments in Seris that no one can be discarded.
Naaru, Fallen Dragon City, Volavo, Mayne, North County, Hanhai, Bude...Tonsk, Arantix, Farud, Dosenal, Xigesnar, Osa...
There are so many cities, each with countless factories, all supporting the development of the empire.
Higgs has oil, the Dothan Empire has rubber, Arant has iron ore, Veronsa has magic apprentices... Countless resources are serving Ailan Hill, which link has been destroyed, for this empire
They are all catastrophic.
In order to cope with possible attacks from the Magic Empire, Ailan Hill deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles. However, while these things were used for defense, they also became a heavy burden for Ailan Hill.
Is there any reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days? In order to protect these important facilities, Eiland Hill has worked very hard, but there will be more such facilities in the future.
If you think about it carefully, a nuclear power plant that seems to have unlimited power in peacetime can provide almost unlimited power transmission to surrounding cities. But in a state of war, this thing is a large dirty bomb on one's own territory.
If the other party really attacks the nuclear power plant, the consequences may be more terrifying than using an atomic bomb directly. There may even be no grass growing there for thousands of years, and radiation will remain until the demise of human civilization.
Even more common are chemical factories. Ireland has its own chemical weapons production factory. Once such a factory is attacked, the terrible VX gas inside will leak out immediately, threatening the lives of everyone around it.
The poisonous gas dispersed by the wind can even spread dozens of kilometers away, and covering a village can kill all breathing things in it.
Taking a step back, if it is just an ordinary chemical factory, a large ethylene production container of hundreds of thousands of tons or even millions of tons can explode with the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
Toxic and dangerous chemicals are the basis of modern industry, and Eiland Hill is naturally looking at the production of these things. These chemical products that support industry are irreplaceable in life, but the manufacturing process is really dangerous and terrifying.
Even if supervision is lax, explosions will occur, not to mention being attacked. Therefore, even if a magician fires recklessly in the city, it will have terrible consequences.
You must know that chemical factories are not yet paramilitary facilities. Factories that actually produce weapons are more dangerous: rocket launch bases, missile production bases, explosives factories deployed inland... Every one of these places needs to ensure safety, otherwise something will go wrong.
It will all turn into a disaster.
"We have not become stronger, we have become more vulnerable, gentlemen!" Chris looked at the staff in front of him and said slowly: "Do you think we won? You can choose which one to eat first.
A piece of fat? No, gentlemen! In fact, we are far from winning this war! We are even in danger of losing it!"
