Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chris put the papers in his hand back on the small desk in front of him. This is not his daily office, so there is only a small table for him temporarily.

Space is not a luxury on a floating battleship, but it is a modern warship, and its main combat function is to fight, not to transport an important guest.

"What's wrong?" Andrea and Chris are almost inseparable these days, although the two have not yet married, but in the eyes of outsiders, the former queen of the elven clan is almost already the concubine of Emperor Irlanhill.

Yes, things are so clear at a glance, the Ellanhill Empire and the elves are now almost an unbreakable whole.

Of course, only God knows what the future holds - the Luna Temple has always existed, between Iran Hill and the elves, like a landmine, and it is not known when it will explode, or never at all......

As a queen, Andrea is still more mindful of her image, and she will maintain a better dress even if she is alone with Chris. She saw Chris only a handful of times in her pajamas, and most of the time she kept her formal attire.

However, to the extent of beauty to Andrea, whatever clothes to wear, for men, is a temptation.

"It's nothing, Wagron's recital, he thinks it is possible to keep some of the demonic civilians in the service of the expeditionary force......" Chris tapped the document with his fingers, as if thinking about how he should approve it.

"That's it, you haven't rested all night?" Andrea asked, looking at the neat bed behind Chris.

"It's not just this, he's just a representative, the surrender of the demon civilians is now known to many people, and everyone's opinions are not the same." Chris chatted casually, and his mind was also thinking about whether he should pause and exterminate the demon race.

In fact, he's been weighing this up these days. After all, for an empire, no matter what the decision is, there are pros and cons, and it will affect many future outcomes.

He paused and confided in Andrea: "Some people think that since the demons have surrendered, then it is enough to let these surrendered demons atone for their sins, and most of the people who support this view are merchants, capitalists, nobles, slave owners. ”

"It sounds like you should support this suggestion as well." Andrea knew how rich Chris was, and His Majesty the Emperor could raise the entire elven race by himself as long as he wanted to.

When a person feeds a nation, he feels rich when he thinks about it. What's even more terrifying is that such a thing as feeding a race seems to be more than enough for His Majesty the Emperor of the Orchid Hill Empire......

"Yes, if you want to do it from the point of view of interests, I should also support this proposal." Chris nodded, then shook his head again: "However, it seems that now it seems that I am the only one ready to stick to this decision." ”

"Merchants wanted to expand their population immediately, but Irlanhill's rapid population growth did not immediately satisfy their aspirations." Chris let out a sigh of helplessness, stretched and said.

Although the total population of Alanhill has grown at a record high due to the absence of the war and the unification of the country, it is clear that these new increases cannot be immediately converted into a market or labor force.

Although machinery has replaced many people's work, the vast majority of areas are still in a backward state, and human resources are still a scarce resource in Irlanhill.

That's why Chris is so entangled - he is wasting cheap labor in the demon world, but he has to endure the difficulties of domestic labor shortage.

However, in Chris's opinion, there is a big question mark over whether those demons can be regarded as qualified laborers.

Let those demons work with humans, whether they will eat humans without saying a word, for these semi-civilized demon races, it is an unknown.

"Whether it's the elves or the dwarves, after all, the number is too small, after opening up the market of the new puppet empire and other countries, this group of guys has extended their hands to the demon world." He shrugged his shoulders and said 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 polish." Speaking of this, Chris looked at Andrea: "The demons have no sense of the market at all, and their social structure is very primitive, no different from a backward empire like the Alantes. ”

"You're saying that the demons are so poor that they can only be made rich before they can become a huge market?" Andrea looked at Chris, half learning and half curious.

"Theoretically, yes, but some ministers think that it is more comfortable to squeeze the market roughly, rather than spending time and effort polishing this market." Chris said noncommittally: "It's a beautiful name, revenge ......"

"Good reason." Andrea is a smart person, and of course she can talk to smart people at all, and she instantly understands the thoughts of these people.

On the surface, this statement takes care of the revenge slogans shouted by the emperor when he starts the war, and takes into account the economic exploitation and utilization of the demon world, which is a very good compromise - at least, on the surface, it is like this.

"yes, a nice step." Chris also nodded in agreement: "Treat the demons as slaves, and use the most basic survival guarantee to drive them to be the cheapest laborers." No need to cultivate, no need to waste time, you can use it directly...... If anything goes wrong with those demons, they will be brutally suppressed......"

"At least it sounds more brutal than killing these demons directly." Queen Andria tilted her head, observing Chris's fingers tapping on the table. She thought Chris's fingers were nice, at least that's what she thought personally.

"Wait and see......" Chris stopped tapping lightly, withdrew his palm, and set Wagron's piece aside.

He planned to deal with it coldly for a few days first, and withheld the chapter without replying, a bit like staying in the middle and not sending it, and then after a few days, he would see the specific situation in the demon world to decide.

"How's the counterattack?" Queen Andrea didn't continue to talk about this topic either, and it wasn't in the interest of the elves anyway. She instead asked about the ongoing battle in the Demon Realm.

"It's going well." Chris pulled out a battle report and handed it to Andrea: "That unit is called the Divine Acolyte Force, and it is the most powerful force of the demons...... Obviously, this could be the final showdown. ”
