Relying on the prestige of the victory of the Sami War, even if the gold content of this victory was not high, the emperor began to issue commemorative coins and began to exchange coins. It turned into a pile of smelly and hard cesspit stones.

Neither the nobles nor the royal family can mobilize these troops. The nobles can't afford more money to pay for the military, and the past currency has depreciated so much that it is about to become waste paper. However, the same sentence, the standard currency It won't really become waste paper, so the army is watching.

If they want to fight wars, they have to come up with hard currency of real gold and silver. Next, as long as the currency is completely exchanged, it will become waste paper. In the face of military salaries like waste paper, apart from the army gathered by ideals, any other A legion will disappear quickly.

Even if it is an army assembled by ideals, its combat effectiveness will decline exponentially. After all, most of this type of army is due to the relationship between the top and bottom, but the salary and food treatment are better.

[That's right, my grandfather voted for the Communist Party after he took the gun because they had better food and pocket money! 】

For a country's economy, currency exchange is tantamount to exchanging blood for the whole body. It is a major operation. Even if everything goes well, it will be weak for a long time. Under normal circumstances, no country will make this decision easily.

However, it was different for Ursus. The emperor could not bear to face all kinds of warlords and separatist nobles in the country. In the words of Mengsk, "If I can't rule Ursus, then I would rather watch it turn into ashes!".

One after another, Sami's guerrillas entered the territory of the northern farm. They took off their uniforms and changed into farmer's clothes, hiding their families and wounded in this land without Ursas' eyeliner, while those young and middle-aged Therefore, it is possible to attack the supply routes of Ursas in the mountains and snow fields without any worries, and destroy their military strongholds.

However, Tallulah gave them the biggest bottom line. They are not allowed to attack the immigrants and civilian villages of Ursus. They can attack military strongholds and military transportation routes at will. Since they have launched a war of aggression, they must have the consciousness to bear the consequences.

However, civilians are another matter, and the Ursas have not started to emigrate the Sami. If the Sami guerrillas did this kind of thing, then all the aid from the farms would be cut off.

This is not only due to the metaphysical part such as morality or humanitarianism, but also because the main components of the farm are the civilians in the northern region of Ursas.

If Sami starts to burn the village and attack, it is tantamount to fighting against 80.00% of the ethnic groups that make up the farm—after all, not everyone is that kind of saint, and when the time comes to face a wave of opposition from the bottom up, even Tallulah If you don't want to stop aid, you can only stop aid.

Without the assistance provided by the farm, Sami's guerrillas could only use wooden spears to fight Ursas' elite troops. All starved to death.

"Boom" A huge wooden bowl was placed on the table, and the venison and vegetable soup full of it swayed, and the thick fat burst slightly, emitting a cloud of heat, "I really don't know what those Ursas people gave them. What kind of ecstasy soup has been poured, only half, or even fewer people are willing to continue to follow us back."

"It's normal." The forest guard raised his eyelids to look at his adjutant, and continued to stuff the small loaves of bread into his mouth calmly, "The war is over, we lost."

"Bang!" "We haven't lost yet!"

"At least in the eyes of others, we have already lost. They feel that they have fulfilled their obligations and responsibilities to the motherland. Now, you can't ask them to let go of their stable lives and go back to that forest with us." The forest guard said calmly.

"Not everyone is an avenger like us. They will not abandon everything for revenge that does not belong to them, and neither can we." The forest guard put down the bread and knocked on the table, "They are also loyal fighters, they There's never a single day of whining and holding back in the snow forest, but now that they think they've done it all, there's nothing to be angry about giving them the security they deserve."

"I just......"

The comrades-in-arms in the past parted ways, some of them felt that the war was over, and they had done everything they could do for the motherland, so staying on the farm as a farmer and serving those giant deer and cabbages like Sami would be an ending.

Some felt that Ursus hadn't been kicked out yet, the Sami hadn't lost yet, and they could continue to fight.

Most of the former have families. If it weren’t for the young people who realized true love during the war and decided to get married, they could devote themselves to the flames of war, but they didn’t want their children to be born in the cold forest without even a mouthful of chaff. I can't even eat it.

The latter are the avengers who destroyed the village or killed their family members by Ursus. They already have nothing, so they have no scruples and no concerns. Only by killing those Ursas invaders can they get some peace.

This is a contradiction that has existed from the very beginning. In essence, not everyone is fighting for those illusory things. Before, they just didn’t want their children to live under a more brutal and cruel rule to resist. The meaning of their fighting and The purpose is for children to have a better life in the future.

And now that they had obtained what they hoped for, they naturally wouldn't pick up their guns and return to the snowy forest for unnecessary battles.

And taking a step back, the Sami government's rule is no more enlightened and beautiful than the Ursas, and shedding blood for those Sami nobles is not the ending they want.

"And it's not a bad thing." The forest guard doesn't think it's a kind of betrayal or weakness. "If the soldiers have a way out, they can get a peaceful life when they can't fight or don't want to fight." , then they will only be more heroic, using fear and killing to force people to follow us, what is the difference between them and those Ursus black leather dogs?"

"Okay, stop complaining here, eat more, and then go to count the personnel who can still fight. Before tonight, I want the specific number and list, as well as our remaining equipment, vehicles and supplies." The forest guard paused, "All the wounded, disabled and old people will stay, no matter what their wishes are, tell them that our next battle will be more difficult, and we can't carry burdens, remember, tell them clearly , they are a burden because they were abandoned by us, not because they betrayed us, understand?"

If you don't do this, those who stay behind will inevitably feel guilty, and then continue to fight with them under the guilt, but in that case, does it make sense?No, they have actually been shaken, just embarrassed out of guilt.

Instead of bringing these discordant people to continue to deal with Ursus, it is better to give both parties a reason. In this way, they don't have to suffer from the torment of their conscience, and they don't have to worry about these people who have already wavered again.

On the contrary, with these people on the farm, it will be much easier to hide the wounded, obtain supplies, or support more soldiers in the future. If the emotion of guilt is used well, it can have several times the benefits instead of being used roughly. To gain an uncertain allegiance.

The agricultural production tasks of the northern farm are still heavy, but all industrial production tasks have been transferred away. The Workshop Street has not been expanded. Now not only is it not responsible for the production of power skeletons, but it is also not responsible for the production of chassis. Except for occasional agricultural machinery maintenance tasks and farm tool production tasks, Become very deserted.

Gradually turned into a commercial street, and expanded towards the northern Ursas marching route. In order to expand, a low-standard road was even built. Ursas officers can often be seen picking the cheapest goods in the store.

And the Ursus soldiers who have even less money use the little in-kind military pay in their hands in the market in the river valley to exchange services, including haircuts, delivering letters, etc. Originally, letters need to be reviewed by the military inspection department before they can be delivered, but The postman at North Farm doesn't care that much.

The black dogs of the Inspectorate did not dare to compete with these fierce men from the former snowfield guerrillas. Moreover, this place is far away from the battlefield, and it is the last stop to enter the real battlefield. Most of the soldiers who come here have nothing that will affect the morale and mentality of the rear. It can be written in a letter, and there is no need for review.

On this street called "Lumberjack Street", you can buy almost everything, from the necessary needlework fabrics to special gifts for the girls in the rear. Even due to the needs of the black bees, here There is also a large collection of dried flower specimens and floral oils, a favorite commodity among junior officers and soldiers with aspirations.

In addition, all kinds of canned berries and canned oil that are not part of military rations are also the focus of procurement for quartermasters. Compared with transshipment from the rear, it is more affordable to purchase fresh vegetables and canned food here, which can save a lot of logistical transshipment time.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for such a village to provide the needs of the army, but the northern farms are different. The production efficiency here is not at the normal level of Ursas villages and towns. They can supply the needs of four army groups at the same time. The Legion of Helag also relied on the supplies they provided.

They will quickly spend the discounted military pay, and then come here to purchase all kinds of necessary consumables, ranging from flour to giant venison. This improved creature of the Sami giant deer is suitable for breeding in the cold zone, and has become The flagship product of the North Farm.

Antlers, deerskin, venison and even deer blood are all good products, and deer liver, which can be used to make metabolism accelerators, is purchased and arranged by the group. The substance of giant deer deer liver can be used to extract source stone metabolism accelerators, which is the ore manufactured by the group. important material for disease blockers.

Originally, Lao Xia planned to artificially synthesize it in large quantities, but he was persuaded by the doctor. In that case, thousands of employees relying on deer liver processing would have to lose their jobs, and there would be no place for the huge deer liver reserves and output. go.

In the end, Lao Xia had to swallow the words "if there is no land, bury it". After all, if this is the case, the income of farmers who raise deer will be reduced, and life will become more difficult for the naked eye.

Moreover, using bio-finished materials can also greatly reduce the difficulty of the process, while increasing manpower consumption and reducing efficiency, thereby providing Kazdel with a huge amount of jobs.

In Kazdale, a pharmaceutical factory with tens of thousands of people, counting supporting refrigeration, flour (tablet additives), equipment maintenance and other factories, it is common for the population of one or even several cities to become its appendages.

As terrible as the ore disease is, there are as many potential consumers of Terra, which also means the production of blockers, inhibitors and fast antidotes (rapidly degrading ore crystals cannot cure diseases, but can quickly relieve the damage and pain to the body) The orders have been piled up for several years, and it can be predicted that not only will the war not affect this order, but it will even increase dozens of times due to the needs of the battlefield.

At this time, Lao Xia cut off half of the employees with a click, and the doctor had to hang himself. For the people of Terra, it is normal to have more people than jobs. For the Star Alliance people, it is normal to have more jobs than people. daily.

The latter's habitual thinking is that only one position can be used, and there is absolutely no need for two, and it can be cut down. Otherwise, there will be no population to expand, but a group of soul-eaters are forced to raise them. There are a lot of inexplicable positions-it has become Lao Xia's instinct to pick out the efficiency of unnecessary positions.

Chapter 13 Famous Paintings

Casimir, the economic storm can be said to be extremely lethal to a tourist-agricultural country like Casimir, especially the dumping of agricultural products and deflation caused by Lao Xia are almost devastating blows.

Under deflation and the Great Depression, agricultural products, which have a huge delay in themselves, suffered heavy losses that were unmatched by industry. The large quantities of agricultural products that were sold out, such as bulk commodities with meager profits, made Cassie Mill's return on agricultural production is close to negative.

Although the origin stone and pure gold sold off did not cause much damage to Casimir's manor and farmers, but the ensuing appreciation and depreciation of the currency caused enough trouble.

In the autumn when agricultural products are sold, the currency appreciates, and the food and agricultural products that were originally worth thousands of yuan are now only worth a few hundred yuan.

In the winter and spring of this year, the currency will depreciate significantly, even if it is due to the characteristics of the standard currency, it will not become waste paper, but will return to the original currency value, and it is impossible to compare with the currency value during deflation.

In other words, once in and out, the seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural tools squeezed the farmers dry, and their modest wealth evaporated at an alarming rate. Not only that, even the knight's manor suffered the same blow.

The nobles, knights, merchants, and farmers suffered almost the same losses in this crisis. The wealth of the farmers was drained and evaporated, and the investment of the knights was lost. The money received by the merchants was not enough for freight and labor. The hard currency in the cellar has turned into a currency that seems worthless now—of course, it’s not that they didn’t make money, it’s just that there are only a handful of them.

The only good thing is that Casimir does not have the double reeds of Emperor Ursus and Kazdel, so the nobles still have a little savings, and although some of the big nobles suffered heavy losses, they also passed the big fish to eat the small fish in the future. Return blood.

And this is hard to say is a kind of luck, although no one sang the double reed and suffered greater damage and loss, causing the army and power to melt like spring snow, but also because no one sang the double reed, no one enriched the money The proceeds thus establish a new economic order.

A zero-sum game is also an economic order. It is better than the evaporation of all people's wealth to a greater or lesser extent, and no one is spared. At least one winner will consolidate the fruits of his victory and achieve a win-win situation of two wins.

The farmers refused to pay taxes and owed land rent, the knights lost their wealth and were forced to intensify their exploitation, and the contradictions between nobles and merchants became a bit insignificant in the face of this larger contradiction.

Citizens need to work, farmers need to survive, knights need military pay, and nobles and merchants need gold coins. Cassidale is not worried about bread and butter, but if he wants to get bread and butter, he has to find a way to get seeds and fertilizers money, or to blackmail and borrow money.

The already fierce conflict between top and bottom has now become more intense. What's more serious is that due to the global financial turmoil and market depression, the original profit-making organization-Knights Arena-has also become a pure loss-making asset.

As a result, the conflict between the infected and ordinary people who have improved slightly has intensified, especially those competitive knights who cannot find jobs. They are good at fighting, but now they have no money, no bread, and almost become social instability. factor.

The change of Ursus also made Casimir need to spend a lot of military expenditure to maintain the defense line and expenditure in the north, which further magnified Casimir's economic problems.At this time, the only way to save it is only one way, or two ways, but no one will choose the second one, so there is only one way to solve the current problem-that is war.

Gather bankrupt peasants, unemployed competitive knights, and dilapidated knights to form an army to invade neighboring countries and use the plundered wealth to pay huge expenses, maintain the prosperity of the market, and most importantly, repay loans.

If it is not possible, it is also a good choice to eliminate the creditor, but the creditor is Victoria, so it is a little more difficult to eliminate the creditor.

"Ursas or Colombia?" These two choices were before the Casimir Federation and the Cavaliers meeting. To be precise, they did not directly attack Ursas and Colombia.

To choose Ursus is to choose to retake the territory occupied by Ursas. In the previous war, Casimir lost a considerable piece of land in the north, and has since exposed himself to the blade of Ursas.

Taking back here can effectively rebuild the defense and reduce military defense expenditures. In addition, it faces the belly of Ursus and cuts off the trade routes of the four countries of Ursus, Colombia, Letania and Dayan. This is a huge sum of money. For commercial income, the Chamber of Commerce favors this choice.

The second option is to invade Dosores, to be more precise, to respond to Dossoles’ national liberation needs, and to support Dossoles to break free from Colombia’s control, thereby opening up the connection with Sargon.

Not only can you get a piece of fertile land, but the precious metals produced by Sargon and the Dosores Plain can be a good income and dumping place, especially Sargon lacks enough food, while Casimir has enough food and commodity.

Sargon, on the other hand, does not have its own currency, and mostly trades in hard currencies, such as red gold and various ancient relic parts. These are relatively value-preserving products in the current market, which can greatly avoid commercial turmoil.

The most important thing is that compared to the old Ursus Legion, the knights felt that it was no problem to beat the Dosores mercenaries in Fela on the plain, and it was no problem to invade Sargon. War can expand their territory.

Therefore, the knights supported the attack on Dosores instead of going north to attack Ursus. After all, they have experienced how terrible Ursas is, and the self-defense forces of Colombia and Dosores have no knowledge. .

These two options are feasible to a certain extent. Not to mention that Ursus is deeply mired in the Sami quagmire. What the emperor's military reforms and financial crisis brought about is that Ursus, a giant, is actually half paralyzed. As long as they can't mobilize more If there are more reinforcements, then the probability of Casimir getting back what he lost is not low.

Besides, Ursus's army is guarding against Kosche and Dayan, and it is difficult for Sami to return immediately. Most of the rest is because money is no different from waste paper. The royal tax collectors have begun to reject it. This is It was an extremely bad signal, and none of those veterans were good at adapting to the situation. When they saw this signal, they immediately stood still and waited and watched.

Whether it is the royal family or the nobles, it is difficult to mobilize more legions now. At that time, there is a high probability that there will be troubles in one place and the scene of crowds from all directions.

However, if you want to choose Ursas, then you have to consider the issue of the Herag Legion. They seem to maintain their combat effectiveness, and as Casimir's "old friends", they are not so easy to deal with. The knights don't want any of them. Gnaw this tough bone.

Besides, those lands belonged to the great nobles, and they belonged to them when they took them back. At most, they could only get some leftovers as rewards, and the income from the commercial channels belonged to the merchants, not the knights.

On the contrary, attacking Dosores is the most suitable for the knight group. It is a new territory, so according to the convention, these lands will be divided, and they will have the opportunity to obtain territories and more territories.

Moreover, as the "protected country" of Colombia, Dosores has no professional army at all, let alone professional equipment, and it is easy to fight-those big nobles don't like it because they don't have to go to the front line to fight hard, but The knights need to go to the front line to fight.

As a result, the groups representing these two strategic lines entered a state of incongruity before the war even started. At this time, only a few Showa staff officers or an art student who failed the rankings were able to fight the classic two-front battle. Scenes that drag themselves down.

And what's interesting is that Casimir's situation is surprisingly similar to the state of the country that these two faced at the time, leaving aside the external environment.

In the case of Casimir itself alone, there is no king or the king hardly cares about it. Politically, the military feudal lord represented by the great knight and the merchant federation represented by the consortium rule the country. He is naturally martial and has a large number of serfs and infected people. Of course, there are also a large number of competitive knights and various lower-level knights, and they also advocate chivalry.

To replace these, you can call the former a Junker nobleman or a daimyo fanzhu, and the latter can also be called a Junker officer or a samurai ronin, although they don’t necessarily wear that kimono, and they don’t necessarily hold a sword in the street. Walking up and down, but its spirit and organizational connotation are actually similar.

Sandwiched between several great empires, it once had a glorious history, and then the rise of modern times and the thirst for land are also in a similar state. Perhaps it is more like Germany than Japan.

Although Eagle Point may have given them the geographical environment of Poland, however, it has given them the history and state of Germany. Considering that the base camp of Sienna is not far from Poland, maybe it is really the intention.

Then, in the face of similar or even worse financial turmoil and better conditions for starting a war, it is more feasible for Casimir to make the decision of Germany or even Japan, and there is a higher probability that they will do so.

At the same time, he wanted to use his own sword to seize the land for his own plow, and he did not want to rob. The entire cavalry squad could not make up the usury money. Casimir was already standing at a fork in the war. Both roads lead to war, the only difference is the goal. Of course, they can also choose to go in the middle-two or even three sides to fight together.

"So, we have to rush back before the war breaks out!" Manna's face was heavy, and the news from the country became more and more serious. He had to end the action of going back to work ahead of time, and ran away to bring Linguang with him.

"Uncle? Then we can't stop the war even if we go back!" Linguang has matured a lot now, knowing that war is not a place to gain glory and achievements, it is a sea of ​​stinking corpses and blood, and he also knows that war is about to start, so The preparation work will be very long.

In other words, once the eruption is about to erupt, no one can stop this line of land ships rushing down from the hills. Anyone who stands in front of it will be crushed to powder by the fanatical soldiers and people.

Especially the state of Casimir, the whole country is gradually shrouded in a sense of madness from top to bottom. When there is an avalanche, there is not a single snowflake of innocence. The usury of seeds and farm tools is not all nobles, but almost most of the Casimir farmers and commoners!

Linguang, who had been in Kazdel for a while, knew clearly that a person is a person only before crossing a certain line, and if he crosses a certain line, he is a beast, and he is a beast with a high probability of not being able to return!

Many measures and so-called ideological education can only ensure that the remaining people will not become beasts, but cannot bring back those who have completely turned into beasts. Just use the trumpet to organize meetings and shout slogans.

And now, Casimir's people are standing on the edge of this line, and there is a hand behind them that keeps pushing them past. At this time, no one can stop them, or anyone who stops them is the people enemy.

"We're not going back to stop the war, we're going to stop that stupid sister of yours!" Manna got angry, but it's usually fine, anyway, the Linguang family has gradually faded out.

But now, for those radical knight groups, the Linguang family and that silly girl who is full of glory and the family's glorious history are the best human flags, and Manna evaluated Maria's IQ, From the bottom of my heart, I feel that it is absolutely impossible for her to discern the sinister people inside.

After winning the battle, the Linguang family is a traitor, and the new interest group will definitely get rid of her. She is just a pawn for recruiting soldiers and playing games with the big nobles, unless she can also compete in this new world with her IQ. The boss of the interest group—Anyway, Manna thinks that it is better to count on this girl to suddenly become a fairy.
