Saying the truth is as simple as eating, even children can say it casually. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, however, is not so easy to put the truth into practice. Gondor, who was also in the post-war recovery period, was even financially constrained by Helana, the regent of Arnol, and the future human emperor, and the elven king's supplies were not a small amount. So, how does Merandil put into practice the idea that our allies will receive the best supplies Gondor has to offer?

The current king of Gondor did not make Arnol's officials laugh at it, and he turned it into an implementable policy with a single directive. His directive was: "From now on, the export of trade goods to the outside world will be suspended." The relevant officials should first set aside the high-quality items that the Elven King needs, and may need, from the trade items to be exported. Not only this time, but as long as the Elven King's troops did not leave to stop the siege of Mordor, before the Gondor trade goods were sent out of the country, the relevant officials should set aside enough combat supplies according to the consumption of the Elven King's army. ”

Gondor didn't have any money to spare, and it was impossible to have enough money to spend on the supplies the Elven King needed. Of course, Hilana and the Emperor cannot be expected to return a portion of the wealth they have collected from Gondor. Reducing the amount of trade to ensure the Elven King's material needs is the most feasible way Merandil can think of at the moment.

Of course, Merandil is well aware that the directive has only been issued so far to address the most basic material needs.

Although humans are the best race in the entire Middle-earth continent to produce and store necessities, most of the supplies that the Elven King wants also happen to be items that are large enough for export by the human race. But the armies involved in the encirclement needed more than just food and shelter. As for the Elven King, who fulfilled his promise to help him with real military might, he was clearly willing to provide his army with the best barracks life. In this case, in addition to supplies, it is also necessary to prepare money that can be used at any time.

"Immediately go and prepare an official letter to explain the current situation of Gondor to the future Emperor and the regent of Arnol. and inform all allies that the Kingdom of Gondor has entered full combat readiness. The allies are requested to conduct foreign affairs in accordance with the relevant agreements of the combat-ready countries. ”

When "maximum combat readiness" is used to describe a country, it means that the country may participate in war at any time, and it also means that the country's border management has reached its peak and the cordon has been extended to the maximum. To put it more concretely, even if an allied country with a diplomatic letter from that country wants to continue diplomacy or trade, it is necessary to present an official letter of exchange and go through strict checks before entering the country without weapons. In addition, combat-ready countries can attack unidentified teams that are more than 100 in number and have entered a certain range for the purpose of expulsion without the need to issue an inquiry. This is because once a country is put in a state of combat readiness, for the sake of combat safety and to prevent enemy troops from blending in, it will not give unknown visitors any opportunity to explain. And the allies will not challenge the tolerance of the war-ready countries at this time. It can be said that without prior explicit notice, combat-ready countries can legally exterminate all visitors who try to approach. In other words, after Gondor enters the first level of combat readiness, even if the human emperor comes with a team, he needs to inform the number and approximate arrival time in advance, so as not to be legally wiped out by the war preparation country.

However, Merendiel is not only using the "highest combat readiness" status to make the emperor have no right to enter Gondor at will. Combat readiness also gives Gondor more exclusive sovereignty, such as economically.

Seeing that the official in charge of writing the official letter had already begun to act, Merandil asked the Arnold official meaningfully: "According to the previous practice of the human race, after the country has entered the highest state of combat readiness, how should the human emperor deal with the management of the kingdom entering the war?" ”

The highest official of Arnol raised his head, unwilling in his heart, but he could not help but accept the fact that Gondor had entered the "highest combat readiness". As soon as the Elven King's army arrives, Mordor, who clings to the kingdom of Gondor, will be in flames.

When a major abnormality occurs in a country's periphery that may have a greater impact on its security and stability, it must be put into a state of combat readiness. Whether it is from the war situation or out of the safety of the people of Gondor, Merandiel's adjustment of Gondor's defense is impossible to find the slightest mistake. Of course, the Arnoel officials knew that the future Human Emperor did not want to see Gondor enter the battle preparations, but he was as high as the Human Emperor, and he could not come up with a reason to refute the facts.

Even the Emperor of the People could not disagree, and the highest official of Arnoel had to reply: "Every Emperor of the People in the past will temporarily give the sole economic power to the direct leaders or generals of the war-ready countries......"

"Excellent! Then, in addition to providing supplies, Gondor should also reserve enough money to replenish the rebels brought by the Elven King at any time. Pointing to Gondor's highest official, Melandiel said, "From now on, fifty percent of all Gondor's trade money will be used to purchase supplies for the rebels at any time. The remaining fifty percent was handed over to Arnold as before. ”

In the end, it is the royal family that fought in the "Last Alliance Campaign"! Even in the face of war, he can handle state affairs meticulously, and even the economic self-ownership is just right, which is absolutely within the scope that the future emperor can tolerate. After the highest official of Arnol sighed, he reminded himself again: Merandil is a descendant of Elendil and the son of Annarian, no matter what the future emperor treats him, you have no right to disrespect him.

The King of Gondor was busy solving the material problem, and the Elven King, who was the beneficiary, was not idle.

The Elven King, who was carrying a dozen personal guards, put down his belongings in the reception area, changed into armor and prepared to leave the city and go straight to Mordor. Of course, the elven king was not crazy enough to take a dozen soldiers to attack Mordor, he was to ensure the safety of the dwarven legions, and he went to detect the enemy's movements in advance. After briefing the soldiers on the detective's content and division of labor, the Elven King had just walked out of the palace when he was stopped by the Gondor officials who had rushed to hear the news. The flattering reception official didn't dare to stop the Elf King, but just followed behind him respectfully, and kept reiterating that the reception dinner was about to begin.

"It's your job to know that diplomatic receptions are your job, but when is it? Etiquette is to make a stable life better, not to add chaos to war. Thranduil's face sank, and he didn't drive the antlers to kick away the official who had made him feel slightly anxious.

Unbeknownst to the reception officer, after leading the Elven King away, Merandil had already given the order for Gondor to enter a state of combat readiness. He smiled flatteringly, and was about to say that "Gondor is not at war now", when the sound of a trumpet that had not been heard for several years sounded in the city one after another. The sound of the trumpet means that all Gondor people know, and it is a message announcing the entire nation's state of combat readiness.
