After changing the tires of the transport trucks, the three cavalry teams carried dozens of truckloads of enemy supplies can be said to have returned with a great victory.

At the same time, after receiving a telegram from the rear reminding them that they were ready to receive supplies, the Europa border guards, who had not been able to wait for the transport troops, had already had a sense of foreboding in their hearts.

And the next morning hurriedly sent troops to confirm.

Finally, the news was confirmed, and a large number of corpses were found around the road one hundred and thirty kilometers away from their border fortress......

At this moment, the logistical supply was intercepted, and the bad news of the total annihilation of the escort troops can be said to be completely implemented.

In the face of this established fact, the border guards were obviously powerless to change anything, and could only let the signal corps send the bad news to the rear command.

In this regard, the rear command was naturally in a state of rage, the looting of supplies, the total destruction of 10,000 troops, and the loss of dozens of transport trucks, which was already called a heavy one.

But what can they do?

Can this border material not be delivered?

Apparently not.

"Go, prepare another batch of supplies to come out."

"But Chief of Staff, at this moment, I'm afraid that the food will not be prepared."

Hearing this, the chief of staff of the headquarters was shocked, and then hurriedly asked......

"What's going on? Why can't I prepare it?! ”

"Report to the Chief of Staff, in the past few years, the Emperor has led the army to go on an expedition and transferred a large amount of grain, and now there is basically not much grain left in the empire."

"Why didn't you report this kind of thing before?!"

"Report, report to the Chief of Staff! For this matter, subordinates have written reports! ”

After speaking, probably to prove his words, the subordinate officer also turned over the previous report quite simply.

At the bottom of the report, there is also a large seal of their headquarters, which proves that this report has been approved.

This situation made the chief of staff's eyelids jump slightly.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

But at this moment, I can't care about any embarrassing or embarrassing issues.

His eyes quickly swept over the report, which was indeed a report on the surplus of food reserves within their empire.

At the same time, according to the report, if this wave of grain is not robbed, then their empire's grain reserves should be stuck in a situation of 'just enough', because in three months, it will be the autumn harvest, and at that time, there will be new grain harvested.

And now, this 'just enough' situation has been broken!

Now the food in the border fortress, save a little food, it should last another month, but what about a month later?

During the time when the grain harvest of the autumn harvest was harvested, how did the defenders of the Eastern Fortress survive?

In just a few months, in their eyes now, it is simply fatal!

That's tens of thousands of mouths, and you can't just make up a few dozen or hundreds of catties of grain.

As the supreme commander of the current rear command, he must now make up his mind.

Looking at the chief of staff who was deeply entangled, and the other officer next to him, for a while, his expression was also very complicated.

After much hesitation, he finally chose to speak......

"Chief of Staff, I've just heard a piece of news."

"What's the news? Something to say! ”

The chief of staff, who was in an annoyed mood at this time, said directly with an impatient face.

In this regard, the officer slowly spoke after organizing the language......

"In the past few years, the grain production of our empire has been affected by the climate here and has declined, and this year, the impact seems to be even more serious than in previous years......

The chief of staff who heard this, his whole heart was pounded on the spot.

"You're saying that this year's grain production may be low?"

In this regard, the officer also smiled wryly.

"That's pretty much it, that's right."

The chief of staff, who got this answer, couldn't help but make a gesture of reaching out and holding his forehead.

This situation is simply terrible!

At the same time, it made his decision even more difficult.

In this era, a powerful empire, they can hoard ammunition and weapons, and they can directly stock up on them for decades, as long as those weapons and ammunition are not left behind, they can continue to use them.

But what about the grain? Can you stock up on food for decades?

The answer is no.

But even so, their empire's grain reserves were originally extremely abundant.

And now, the reason why we are facing this terrible situation, in the final analysis, is because of the agreement between Robert Smith and Raymond Sosi.

The rice buckets of the orc army can be said to have consumed the food reserves of their empire to a large extent.

Although after the battle reached a stalemate, Robert Smith took the initiative to discuss with Raymond Sosi with a cheeky face, saying that he could only provide a part of the food for the orc army.

But at that time, more than half of his food reserves had actually been consumed.

Coupled with his territorial location, which is deeply affected by the climate of the bitter cold land, food production has gradually decreased in recent years.

All these factors have combined to make it the worst situation we are in.

Now that Robert Smith, the 'Great', is not in the country, this difficult decision can only be handed over to him, the chief of staff.

He didn't have a choice, but after taking a deep breath, the chief of staff spoke in a deep tone of great solemnity......

"Send the order down and collect grain from grain stores all over the country!"

"Yes!"

It seems like a simple order, but the things involved behind it are big.

A wave of food price increases has almost reached the point where it is inevitable.

And that's exactly what happened.

Almost on the day that the top brass of their empire issued an order to start collecting grain, the first wave of grain prices in shops around the country increased.

The second wave of price increases came five days later......

And after half a month it tripled!

Food prices are rising, and the prices of other things are starting to rise.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, the resentment of ordinary people in the empire has begun to accumulate little by little, and some low-income classes are basically about to enter a situation where they cannot afford to buy food.

And this situation lasted until the autumn harvest a few months later, and it did not get any improvement.

Due to the fact that this year's grain harvest is really bleak, this has led to grain stores in various places having no intention of reducing prices at all.

There is not even a price increase, and for many civilians, it is already thankful.

In the empire, the whole situation can be said to continue to deteriorate, and the next winter will be a nightmare for many people.

Of course, that's all for later......
