Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chris put the documents in his hand back on the small table in front of him. This was not his daily office space, so there was only a temporary small table prepared for him.
Although space is not a luxury on a floating battleship, this is a modern battleship after all, and its main combat function is fighting, not transporting an important guest.
"What's wrong?" Andrea and Chris are almost inseparable these days. Although the two have not yet married, in the eyes of outsiders, the former Queen of the Elf Tribe is almost the concubine of the Emperor of Elanthir.
Already.
Yes, the thing is so clear. The Airanshir Empire and the elves are now almost an indestructible whole.
Of course, only God knows what the future will be like. The variable of the Moon Temple has always existed, lying between Ailanshir and the elves. Like a landmine, one does not know when it will explode, or never.
break out……
As a queen, Andrea pays more attention to her own image. Even if she is alone with Chris, she will keep her clothes well-dressed. She wears pajamas to see Chris only a handful of times, most of the time.
Maintain formal attire.
However, as beautiful as Andrea, no matter what clothes she wears, it is a temptation for men.
"Nothing, Waggron's memorial. He thinks that some demon civilians can be retained and let them serve the expeditionary force..." Chris tapped the document with his fingers, as if thinking about how he should approve this memorial.
"Is that why you didn't rest all night?" Andrea looked at the neat bed behind Chris and asked.
"It's not just this. He is just a representative. Many people now know about the surrender of demon civilians, and everyone has different opinions." Chris chatted casually, thinking about whether he should or not.
Pause and exterminate the demon race.
In fact, he has been weighing this issue these days. After all, for an empire, no matter what kind of decision is made, there are pros and cons, and it will affect many future results.
He paused and confided to Andrea: "Some people think that since the devil has surrendered, it is enough to let these surrendered devils atone for their sins. Most of the people who support this view are businessmen and capitalists.
Nobles, slave owners."
"It sounds like you should support this suggestion." Andrea knew how rich Chris was, and that His Majesty the Emperor could raise the entire elves on his own if he wanted to.
The thought of one person feeding a nation makes him feel wealthy. What’s even more frightening is that feeding a nation seems to be more than enough for His Majesty the Emperor of the Airanhill Empire...
"Yes, from the perspective of interests, I should also support this suggestion." Chris nodded and shook his head: "However, now it seems that I am the only one who is prepared to stick to this decision."
"Businessmen hope to expand the population immediately. However, although the population of Eiland Hill is growing rapidly, it cannot immediately satisfy their pursuit." Chris sighed helplessly and stretched.
Although the total population growth rate of Ireland has reached a record high due to the end of the war and the unification of the country, it is obvious that these newly added populations cannot be immediately converted into the market or labor force.
Although machinery has replaced the work of many people, most areas are still in a backward state, and human resources are still a scarce resource in Ireland.
That's why Chris is so entangled that he is wasting the cheap labor in the devil world while having to endure the difficulty of domestic labor shortage.
However, in Chris's view, there is still a big question mark as to whether those demons can be regarded as qualified labor force.
If those demons work with humans, whether they will eat humans if they disagree is an unknown for these semi-civilized demon races.
"Be it elves or dwarves, after all, their numbers are too small. After opening up the market in countries such as the New Puppet Empire, these guys have reached out to the demon world." He shrugged, expressing that he was also helpless:
"The population of the Demon Realm may be ten times the population of the Magic Continent, otherwise they would not have gathered tens of millions of troops. For merchants, this population is a huge market with countless business opportunities."
"It's just that this market also needs to be cultivated and needs time to be polished." Having said this, Chris looked at Andrea: "The devils have no market awareness at all. Their social structure is very primitive, just as backward as Arant.
There is no difference between the empires."
"You mean, the devils are too poor, so we have to make them rich first before they can become a huge market?" Andrea looked at Chris, half learning and half curious.
"Theoretically, that's the case, but some ministers believe that instead of wasting time and effort on polishing this market, it would be more comfortable to squeeze it roughly." Chris said noncommittally: "It's called revenge..."
"Good reason." Andrea is a smart person, and she can speak clearly when talking to smart people. She instantly understood what these people were thinking.
On the surface, this statement takes into account the emperor's slogan of revenge when he launched the war, and also takes into account the economic development and utilization of the demon world. It is a very good compromise. At least, on the surface, it is like this.
"Yes, a good step." Chris nodded in agreement: "Treat demons as slaves, and use the most basic survival guarantee to drive them to become the cheapest labor force. No need to cultivate, no need to waste time, just do it directly
Use... If there are any problems with those demons, suppress them brutally..."
"At least it sounds more cruel than killing these demons directly." Queen Andrea tilted her head and observed Chris's fingers tapping on the table. She thought Chris's fingers were very pretty, at least to her personally.
I think so.
"Let's wait and see..." Chris stopped tapping lightly, retracted his palm, and put Wageron's memorial aside.
He planned to deal with it indifferently for a few days, holding on to the memorial without giving any reply, which was a bit like leaving things unanswered, waiting for a few days to decide based on the specific situation in the devil world.
"How is the counterattack?" Queen Andrea did not continue to talk about this topic, since it had nothing to do with the interests of the elves anyway. She instead asked about the ongoing battle in the demon world.
"It went well." Chris pulled out a battle report and handed it to Andrea: "That army is called the God's Attendant Force, and it is the most powerful force of the devil...Obviously, this may be the final battle.
