"If it's a choice, in all respects, I think it's better to choose the Assas Empire," Smith, who was sitting there, took a sip of coffee on the table, his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and everything except for the suit on his body was messy, and he didn't have a good rest at all.

"There is a shortage of troops, insufficient supplies, and a lack of intelligence, if you start to formulate an invasion plan against the Sark Empire now, there are too many things to prepare, but if it is against the Assas Empire, with the previous filing, if it is only an economic action, it can be put into action immediately, and the price that needs to be paid is much smaller, of course, the small ones here are relatively speaking. ”

"Economic warfare?" said No. 1 in a whisper to Smith's words.

"Yes, for strange societies like them, which already have a fairly solid bourgeois base, but whose productive forces are still quite low, there are innumerable ways to bring them down by economic means, and they are cheaper and more effective than war. ”

"For example, commodity dumping, like during the period of capitalist industrial expansion in Europe?" Chu Qing gave an example.

"This is one of them," he Smith held out a finger, "the most important thing is that right now, all the Terran territories, no, it should be said that the whole continent is facing a terrible deflation, I think this is not only able to expand externally, but also a good opportunity for us to seize the right to speak in the market." ”

Although it is said that this deflation is caused by us.

"Indeed, it is indeed quite tempting to think about it this way, after all, most of the market in the entire continent is occupied by the Assas Empire, and if you can snatch that part from them, it is estimated that it will be of great benefit to future activities. Number One tapped on her laptop, the cat ears on her head gently shaking twice with each of her words.

A strategy that kills two birds with one stone while expanding both territory and economic influence.

"Mr. President, I have some personal opinions on this point," said Ole abruptly, but with a bit of restraint as he had spoken for the first time.

"It's okay, just let it go. ”

"Yes. Ole cleared his throat, "I'd rather prefer to convert my target to the Sark Empire than the Assas Empire. ”

"First of all, for the problem of insufficient intelligence, in addition to cooperating with our existing satellite detection, we can also send spy troops to infiltrate, because of the martial spirit and the style of advocating the strong within the Sark Empire, the empire is far from looking united from the outside, and there are many parties so it is extremely easy to infiltrate, and the acquisition of intelligence is far easier than that of the Assas Empire. ”

"Of course, what is more important is the rich mineral resources contained in the underground of the Sark Empire, although the land there is not suitable for the development of cultivation, the barren land and the lack of water are quite a big problem, but the huge mineral treasures contained in the underground there have this non-negligible help for our development. ”

Mineral resources, Chu Qing gently tapped his head with a pen, although there is a large surplus in the resources reserved in the base and the ore veins that are being mined.

However, just like in the PVP mode in the game, players who are familiar with the map will start to grab the most valuable diamond mines at the beginning of the game, on the one hand, in order to obtain resources far beyond other players in the same amount of time, and on the other hand, it actually plays a suppressive role in other players.

After all, there are so many resources, they will be gone when they are used up, and if you use them more, others will naturally use less.

Therefore, even if the mineral is not used for the time being, it is a meaningless storage, and it is definitely a beneficial and harmless thing.

Because resources, which are linked to money, are naturally as much as possible.

But on the other hand, the benefits that can be obtained from fighting against the Assas Empire make him feel reluctant, after all, the Assas Empire's control over the economy of the entire continent is quite terrifying, if he can take this opportunity to replace it, then with this influence, many strategic goals can be accomplished bloodlessly through economic threats in the future.

Both have benefits that people can't let go, but with the only combat power they have now, it is a bit impossible to complete two goals and capture them at the same time.

Will you still rely on superweapons this time?

The answer is definitely no, after the experience of the Koncadas Empire and the power of superweapons can be known to everyone, it is naturally a good card that is very important purely as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

However, if you continue to use superweapons to attack endlessly, it is difficult to guarantee that the other side will not take any retaliatory measures at any cost.

Since the last crisis in Feier City, the higher-ups, including Chu Qing, have become much more cautious about the use of superweapons.

The main reason why they were able to use unconventional weapons without fear was that their enemies did not have the same powerful counter-weapon as them.

But now it's different.

Because the enemy has finally realized that compared to the original war skills, magic seems to be more suitable for dealing with our army with rifles in hand.

Although it's not the kind of complete suppression in the movie, it's really troublesome to deal with guys who can do magic.

One is the economic control that cannot be seen or touched, but the actual effect is very large, and the other is the vein that is really buried in the ground, but the actual effect is not very large for the time being...... After all, it's a headache multiple choice question -

"Commander, I have a little opinion on this matter. Just as Chu Qing was deep in thought, No. 1 gently knocked on the table and said calmly.

It would be better if she could get rid of the cat ears on her head that had no additional role other than selling cuteness.

But then again, why was she wearing that?

"Ahem, Commander, about this matter, I think it is Smith's choice that is more beneficial to us, first of all, the ore veins mentioned by Ole are indeed correct, according to the information from our army's intelligence department, there are a lot of mineral deposits in the mountains and plateaus there, if they can be used, then their value will be infinite, but, in addition, I think we should also pay attention to another very important point, that is, the army currently in the hands of the two countries. ”

"The army in the hands of the Sark Empire is not only huge in number but also professional soldiers who have been trained for a long time, both in terms of combat skills and loyalty, people have nothing to say, coupled with years of war with the beast and demon armies, they also undoubtedly have a lot of countless combat experience, so just looking at its combat effectiveness, it can be said that it can be called a super army of the boss at the bottom of the game. ”

"But what about the Assas Empire?" she shrugged and mounted a button-like projection device on the table, and the image of an Assas Empire infantry armed with a spear and a sword was projected.

"In appearance, Assas is much better than Sark in terms of armor and weapons, and it's like a work of art, but, remember, but!" she said, holding out a finger that was completely different from what she had said, and said with a very cute puffed face.

"Their strength and combat effectiveness are not as strong as they seem, or they are completely inversely proportional, their army is mainly based on mercenaries recruited from the mercenary guild, and their discipline and loyalty are not at the same level as those of the Sark Empire, so their performance on the battlefield is often unsatisfactory, and there are even records of second-rate countries defeating them, for such an army that can even be bought with money, and the execution of orders is entirely because of business integrity, I can't think of any reason to lose to them. ”

"Commander ......"

At this time, Guo Xiaocheng also stood up and wanted to say something, but No. 1 glanced at him coldly and said: "General Guo Xiaocheng, for some reason, I hope you can remain silent about this matter for the time being, I don't want you to cause unnecessary losses to the country because of your favoritism to others." ”

Looking at her serious expression, Guo Xiaocheng gritted his teeth helplessly, then nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"Very well," said One, "and secondly, according to the information I have found, Ole, your identity should be the second son of the previous Emperor of the Sark Empire, that is, the emperor who was ousted by the Barbarians." ”

Ao Le was stunned, after such a long time, he never told this secret to others, and he clearly remembered that he should not have told anyone, not even the master, but why, why did she know this secret!

"Tell me, Ole, is that so. Chu Qing turned his head and asked calmly.

“…… Yes. ”

"Do you hear that, Commander, such a selfish act has no effect on us at all, do you understand what I mean? As I said at the beginning, at the beginning, I asked for a reconsideration of all the motions proposed by Ole, and all the motions that had been passed were dismissed and rehearsed. ”

That's what I said at the beginning...... Chu Qing looked at No. 1, who had an extremely resolute attitude, and he naturally heard what the other party was saying, but at the beginning, he ...... That is what she said when the two met for the first time......

For some reason, as soon as he thought of this, he unconsciously thought of the number one who was wearing a lolita costume, basking in the sun, and curled up on the sofa lazily like a kitten.

I see, since it's such a simple question, is it necessary to say it like a charade?

But I really didn't expect that after such a long time, she was still not satisfied with that plan, so forget it for a while and do it according to her wishes.

Thinking that Chu Qing put on a thoughtful look, and finally said after a struggle of thoughts: "In this case, let's do it according to the meaning of No. 1, although it is a little unfair, but for the time being, it should be regarded as a result of the past, so it is decided, the main strategy in the future will revolve around the Assas Empire, so ...... next"

After a few more hours of meetings, when everyone had already left for a long time, Chu Qing took his suit jacket and walked out of the conference room while rubbing his shoulders.

"Master, is the work finally over?"

"Wei Yan, why are you still here?"

When Chu Qing just walked out of the conference room, a voice that sounded like a small bridge and flowing water sounded behind him, he turned around and saw a maid dressed as a maid standing there quietly against the wall.

"Because quietly waiting for the master of the work, this is the work of a maid. ”

"That's right," he said, pulling the tie around his neck to make himself comfortable, as he walked towards the lounge room, "I look weird today, don't I look like my usual me?"

The usual Chu Qing is either a durable and decent-looking military dress.

Or a sportswear with loose comfort as the first goal, and no aesthetic at all.

It can be said that there are very few people who wear suits like today and are neatly packed from head to toe.

And the most important thing is that after an interview meeting, a one-on-one meeting is such a continuous work bombardment, not to mention the clothes on the body, not to mention the coat in the hand. Even the shirt worn inside was crumpled from sweat and exercise.

His nose was oily, and his eyes were bloodshot.

I guess I don't look any different from a social animal who works endless overtime and dies of overwork.

Looking at his reflection on the wall, he sighed helplessly.

"Not at all!" she raised her fists to her chest and said affirmatively, "In Wei Yan's eyes, the hard-working master is the most handsome!"

Boom! Hearing his words, his face turned frighteningly red as if there was an explosion in the background.

Even the tips of the ears are congested, so they become as red as small peppers.

"Stupid, stupid! What are you talking about!"

"Hmm-master, did I say something wrong?" Looking at Chu Qing, who was suddenly angry, Wei Yan subconsciously hugged her head and asked with a pitiful look.

"Anyway, don't say that again! Also, don't call me master again!"

Say such shy things casually, do you think it's in a comic!

"Yes, Lord...... Commander. Not knowing what to call Chu Qing for a while, she had to follow the example of others and call him Commander.

"Very good!" Chu Qing took a deep breath to calm his mood better.

To be honest, since I came to this world, my psychological endurance has been many times stronger in every sense than if I didn't know it on Earth.

But I don't know why, in the face of Wei Yan's words just now, my heart was still excited as if it was about to jump out of my throat.

It seems that it is necessary to train your concentration.

"Thankful for today, Commander. ”

"Well, you've worked hard today, too. ”

He glanced at Wei Yan who was following him, if she had been waiting for him outside since the beginning of the meeting, plus the time to discuss with Guo Xiaocheng alone, I am afraid it would be several hours.

Have you been standing there for hours......

"I said, Wei Yan. ”

"What's wrong, Commander?"

"It's been so long, and you haven't eaten yet, or let's go together, even though it's just a meal in the cafeteria......"

After all, it's been this time, and the restaurant that is still open now, it's not that I'm talking nonsense, I'm afraid there is really no such thing in this world.

Even on earth, only fast food restaurants are open.

"Really, really?"

"Hmm...... If you don't want to, it's okay to say no. ”

"No, no, no, I'll go, I'll go! It's my honor to have dinner with the commander!"

"Needless to say, it's just ......"
