Chapter 330: A trick to change the cage for a bird
The Yaling Empire's attention to the fall of the main continent was obviously higher than Luo Zhengdao's previous expectations, and he couldn't be blamed for his thoughtlessness, it was indeed that the gap between the time concepts of the mesozoic species and the short-lived species was too big, and this matter could not be reconciled. In the eyes of human beings, what may happen in the next hundred years or more is basically a shadowless thing, and when the time comes, your bones are about to rot into dregs, so why are you in a hurry to that idle mind now? The average life expectancy of Yaling is about 400 years, and for them, a hundred years from now is roughly equivalent to 20 or 30 years of human life.
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, are you ready to exchange the land of the Funayama Islands on the condition that the Imperial Fleet will assist in the defense?"
The professional smile shown by the Yaling diplomat did not make Luo Zhengdao feel anything, there were too many opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other, and he didn't bother to speculate what tricks the other party would play, the cards in his hand were hard enough, that was the last word. Immediately, Luo Zhengdao shook his finger and said:
"No, I would like to add that we need the Yaling Navy to send a transport ship to bring the human inhabitants of the Funyama Islands. Transported to Qiongzhou. β
Hearing this, the Yaling diplomat, who had been thinking for a while, nodded, this requires that Yaling, which ranks first in the world in naval strength, is not a big deal, even if it is a large number of ships needed to transport millions of people, Yaling can temporarily requisition civilian merchant ships from temporarily. Although dealing with the matter of solicitation is a bit troublesome and consumes a lot of time, it is not much difficult after all. So, he replied:
"Yes, I have been authorized by Her Majesty the Queen and the Cabinet before leaving, and Her Highness's reasonable requests can be met."
Laughing and standing up, Luo Zhengdao clapped his hands and motioned for his entourage to bring the sparkling fruit wine common in the celebration ceremony, and was said when he picked it up:
"Then let's wish you a happy cooperation! Cheers! β
"Let's hope so, cheers!"
The situation in the new world was changing, and the emergence of various new situations made people dizzy, and the Yaling Empire did not immediately change its attitude. During this period, normal trade with Luo Zhengdao was not terminated, and the arms procurement process remained the same, except for the delay of several months in financial assistance. Apparently this is waiting for the situation to become clearer and Yaling is not ready to decouple at any time. Liren spent more resources, but this transaction of the Chuanshan Islands made Yaling see a new profit growth point, and he couldn't help but be moved. If Will Needham can capture some more strategic points and then hand them over to the Yaling Empire, the goblins can only suffer this dumb loss, and it is only because they dare not openly turn against Yaling.
Yaling is making some wishful thinking, Luo Zhengdao doesn't care at all, the cooperation between the two sides is based on the combination of interests, everyone has benefits, then they will go, and if there is no benefit, they will pat their butts and disperse, he still has this psychological preparation.
Any entanglement for the distribution of interests is reasonable, and there is nothing strange about breaking up. No matter how many grievances have been in the past, and how deep the grievances in the past are, the huge interests in front of us can bridge the huge differences that seem to be like a moat. For the sake of conflicts of interests, unbreakable deep friendships and alliances can be torn at any time, in short, it is a blind man to light a lamp in vain to reason with such an organization as the state. From ancient times to the present, the state only understands the word "interests" and understands the basis of the argument, and this political course can be regarded as just touching the threshold
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! Long live His Majesty the Regent! Long live Lord Earl! β
The gathered crowd let out a tsunami-like shout, echoing over the central square of Haikou City, raising his eyes to scan the enthusiastic scene of jubilation, Luo Zhengdao showed a long-lost smile of joy. In this new world that is so cruel that there is no room for any warmth, there are fewer and fewer times and places to make him laugh happily, this is the helplessness of fate!
"I declare that I will rebuild the Empire of Light in Qiongzhou, and I, Will Needham, will become your new monarch. Until the territory of the main continent is not recovered, I am only a king and not an emperor. Now, you can start cheering! β
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live His Majesty the King! β
When the noisy crowd below had consumed a little too much enthusiasm and body, Luo Zhengdao leaned in front of the amplification circle provided by the elf and continued:
"I want to thank those who persist in the fight against the goblins, and the country will not forget your contributions and sacrifices. There will be bread, there will be milk, I promise, every qiΔ will be there, and the good life of the past will be restored. β
Behind Luo Zhengdao, Faure Chopin and the old fellow Drake King from afar got together, these two rough men were so excited at the moment that they had a handful of snot and tears, and Old Foer couldn't help but mutter:
"Your Excellency, no, is already His Majesty the King. The old earl would be very happy to see it today. β
"Yes! Oh, yes! The old earl will be pleased. β
For these retainers who have been attached to the family of Count Fu Lu for generations, they are naturally more loyal and reliable than those newly recruited, and even if you only consider the mental history of the betrayer, the cost of these hereditary retainers to betray Luo Zhengdao is significantly higher than that of those followers who came later. Although Luo Zhengdao does not think that the newcomers he recruited in the later period must be unreliable, he will not deny that the reliability coefficient of these old people is significantly higher. It is said that the highest level of employing personnel is not to avoid relatives and not to avoid revenge, but to be honest, it is not reliable to solicit enemies or anything, such as Najaf's two-faced smiling tiger, who took the initiative to send it to Luo Zhengdao and did not dare to use it.
Listening to the chatter of the two old retainers, and waiting for the cheers to subside a little, Luo Zhengdao pressed his hand on the amplification circle again and said loudly:
"We human beings will definitely take back what we have lost, and we must let the world know that the human race has not declined, and the glory of the empire will live forever!"
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! Long live humanity! Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the King! β
This sudden and deliberate operation to recapture Qiongzhou was a complete success as expected, and Luo Zhengdao took the opportunity to announce the restoration of the Guangming Dynasty and the constitutional monarchy, etc., which can really be described as a triumphant advance all the way.
These news are circulated at ordinary times, and they are definitely qualified to be the New World Tavern for drunken diners to talk about the hot topics of the past year and a half, but compared to the miniature version of the bloody war in the underground space of the main continent, and the wave of alien tribal refugees caused by the chain reaction, the expansion of the Second Goblin Empire and other major events, this bit of news made by humans seems too pediatric. In addition to the old enemy goblin Second Empire let out a few defeated dog wails as usual, the goblin military department swore to throw out some cruel words such as swearing to kill the rebellion and other cruel words to kill the whole family, and then there were Yaling and the elves using standard diplomatic rhetoric, pretending to express their satisfaction and neutral position that they liked to see.
Traverser Luo Zhengdao has worked hard for many years, and the success achieved at this time can be regarded as a phased achievement! In this way, it was sadly annihilated by the tide of history. Cheng DΓΉ, who talks about this story, is probably not inferior to the pop singer in the old world who is said to be from Wang Xing, who has been viciously cursed by unknown people, and "you will never make headlines in your life".
With a population base of more than 3 million people, it can barely support a small industrialized country, and the capture of Qiongzhou is more to help solve the food problem that plagued the Luo Zhengdao group.
The first premise of completing industrialization is to ensure food supply, if we can't feed those workers and technicians who are all out of production, talking about industrialization in vain is like an ignorant little white shouting to learn martial arts, and as a result, being pulled into a sheep and worshipping the senior brother to practice divine beating, which makes people speechless.
Wick Reef relies on the combination of the old world black technology provided by Luo Zhengdao and the magical civilization of the new world, plus the beneficial supplement of fish catches and seaweed farms, and can barely maintain the island's food self-sufficiency through a multi-pronged approach, and once it is besieged by foreign enemies for a long time, there will be a hidden danger of running out of food. Later, most of the occupied Chuanshan Islands were used to solve the food problem by promoting the eating of fish, and now that this island has been returned to the Yaling Empire, there is no need for Luo Zhengdao to worry about this leisure anymore.
As a large offshore island, Qiongzhou Island has bright sunshine, fertile land and abundant rainfall, and if it is properly developed, it is difficult to feed millions of people on this land alone, and Luo Zhengdao finally has enough time and space to implement the farming game he is good at.
training elite soldiers; Tough village; Dumbfounded. This is Luo Zhengdao's personal resume from the predecessor successful person Zeng Guofan. Don't think that you can control thousands of troops after playing real-time strategy games for a few days, that's a sick table with water in your head. When Zhenge arrived in front of the two armies, Luo Zhengdao has always taken the routine of controlling the overall situation by himself, and entrusting his subordinates to be responsible for how to fight. In this nine-character mantra, it is not difficult to understand the training of soldiers, it is estimated that the bear children who have received military training and education know how hard it is to stand in a military posture and practice queue under the scorching sun.
It's just that exercise is exercise, and the two basic premises must not be forgotten, one is to ensure food, and the other is to ensure discipline.
If there is no sufficient quantity and quality of food, the body will collapse first before the soldiers can be trained, and discipline cannot be guaranteed, and it is difficult to persist for a long time by relying on individual willpower alone in monotonous and hard training. This is a simple matter, and in addition to material support, ideological education and cultural training must not be stopped.
In the old world, it was said that the army should not have its own mind, and this is obviously not true. Soldiers are also human beings, and everyone has thoughts, so you can't put a green dam on all their heads, and regularly clean up and filter all kinds of bad information, right? If you don't take the initiative to cultivate correct thinking, you will eventually be indoctrinated by others with the idea of carrying private goods, and the army will change color, so can the flag not change color?
