"So you say, can population be transformed into a 'resource'?" Rudolph looked into his son's eyes with a very focused expression. Fastest updates

"Of course, labor itself is a resource, not to mention tall, strong, hard-working and simple high-quality labor!" Roland said with a smile, "Except for the fact that he likes to drink two sips when he has nothing to do, the plateau man has almost no other shortcomings." ”

"If you have enough wine, you are willing to work, these highland barbarians are simply big dwarves!" Rudolph encouraged his son with a smile, "Tell me, how are you going to make use of the surplus young and strong labor in Kitland?" ”

"The first is conscription." Roland said unhurriedly, "Our legion is mainly cavalry, the Blackguard heavy cavalry and the Ranger Chaser are very good troops, but the infantry is also an indispensable part of the legion, the new grenadier battalion has performed well in actual combat, and the Kitlanders with high height and long arms and full of physical strength are the most suitable source of grenadiers." ”

"The idea of conscription is exactly what I want, in fact, I have already discussed with the Beowulf couple about this matter, after the fall of the 'Dragon's Eye', there is no force on the plateau that can threaten Kitland City, maintaining a large standing army is both unnecessary and a heavy financial burden, Lord Beowulf plans to disarm in batches, and veterans are incorporated into the mercenary sequence, but there are too many mercenaries and it is easy to make trouble, he is now eager for us to help share some of the disarmament pressure." Rudolph smiled, and then said, "I plan to select 5,000 elites from the Kitland City Guard and expand them into a 'grenadier division', and now there are two problems, the first is to ensure that the mobility of this heavy infantry regiment can keep up with our cavalry, and the second is to increase the production of 'grenadiers' as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a joke that the grenadiers have no bullets to throw." ”

"There are two bottlenecks that limit the production of grenades, one is the shortage of mages and warlocks engaged in the irrigation process, and the other is that with the expansion of grenade production, there are more and more gaps."

"How are you going to solve it?" Rudolph looked at his son with interest, as if he was intent on testing.

Roland smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not difficult to solve, if you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit again, I have shares in the Mecha Research Institute and the Airship Company in Baiou Harbor, and I can entrust these two institutions to train the warlocks of the agency on my behalf, and the students are selected from the Dolphin Bay University Town, it doesn't require a high level, just be able to complete the fireball technique's infusion operation; As for spell slots...... Hehe, the spell bit is like a gold coin, when we are short of money, we borrow from the bank, and if we lack the spell bit, we will naturally go to the Arfa Bank for a loan. ”

"It's up to you to deal with Lighthouse Bank, you're bigger than me in the eyes of those weird mages." Rudolph said self-deprecatingly.

Roland smiled awkwardly and continued to get down to business: "As for the grenadiers' mobility...... You may not know that the Kitland boys grew up on horseback, and their riding skills were not inferior to our 'lancers' or 'chassers', and the 'grenadiers' were 'grenadiers' when they got on horseback, so they didn't need to worry about mobility. Roland said confidently.

"Do you mean to ride on horseback when marching, and dismount in advance to form a formation when fighting? It's about the same as our chasseurs. Rudolph stroked his chin and groaned.

"It's the same thing in the first place, it's nothing more than a chaser is a shooter on horseback, and a grenadier is a grenadier on horseback."

"Our military budget is limited, and we can't afford to recruit too many Kitlanders for the time being, but we can send a part of the Kitland City Guards to Dragon City to garrison to fill the defense vacuum caused by the retreat of the 'Dragon's Eye', and with such a trustworthy guard guarding Dragon City, you don't have to worry about the Dragon Vein Clan rebelling against the water." Rudolph is old and spicy after all, and he timely mentions how his son can "borrow strength".

Roland humbly accepted his father's teachings: "You are right, I have not considered this. ”

"What else do you have to do to digest Kitland's surplus population other than conscription?" Rudolph continued to ask.

"The trade unions in Kitland are very powerful, and I have a good relationship with their union leader, Shabalin Plekhanov, and we have discussed more than one occasion the establishment of a labor export agency to send unemployed workers from Kitland to the south to provide quality labor for industries such as steel, mining, and construction." Roland replied calmly.

Rudolph's eyes lit up: "This seems to be a good idea, but the premise is that we have to control the power in the south, and there must be enough new factories, otherwise where will there be so many laborers." ”

Roland smiled, "You don't have to worry about setting up a factory, I already have a comprehensive plan, as for seizing power, it depends on your ability, father." ”

"Hah! This is very good, our father and son work together to show their strengths! Rudolph slapped his thigh excitedly, "Come on, I won't lose to you kid!" ”

Roland seemed more calm than his father at this time, and smiled and turned the topic away: "Now that the Far East has not yet become a truly independent country, there is no real nation, and we still have time to unite all the inhabitants of this land who speak the same language to create a strong and united Far Eastern people, including the southerners and northerners, as well as the dwarves of the Cadsopus plateau and the sea elves of the city-states of the Northern Gulf, of course, including the Kitlanders, We want to integrate these marginalized people with a more civilized and advanced way of life, especially to influence the young people among them, to attract them to go to the south to seek a living, so that they can identify with us culturally, and finally integrate into a united family, which is my greatest wish. ”

Rudolph raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Also dwarves and elves?" ”

Roland bowed: "Of course, the Far Eastern peoples are a broad community, not divided by race. ”

Rudolph shook his head slightly, feeling that his son was thinking too simply, "To be too broad means to lose cohesion, and you have to set a boundary for your envisioned new people, since this boundary is not race, not blood, not even faith, then what is it?" ”

"It is the country, my father, the recognition and love of the independent kingdom of the Far East that we are about to establish." Roland looked solemn, "When we mention the nation, please don't forget, any nation needs a piece of land to settle down and multiply, there are indeed wandering nations in the world, but there is no nation that can remain strong all the time, the nation-state is rooted in the land, if the nation is compared to a family in a broad sense, then the country is the homeland in a broad sense, loyalty to the country and unity of compatriots will be the basic obligation of the Far Easterners in the new era, and the manager of the country must also make a contract with all compatriots, We promise to defend the living space, reasonable freedom, legitimate beliefs and legitimate property of the people, so that the people of this land will not suffer from hunger and fear, and to safeguard the dignity and interests of the nation is to safeguard the dignity and interests of the nation and to safeguard our own dignity and interests. ”

Rudolph seemed to digest his son's statecraft, pondered for a long time before he spoke again: "You must strengthen the national consciousness instead of the racial consciousness, and use the concept of national supremacy to resolve the conflict of religious concepts, which means that we must curry favor with the common people, who make up the majority of the population of the Far East, internally, and maintain a strong style in international affairs externally...... The nation-state for which you have worked so hard will ruthlessly abandon you. ”

Roland smiled calmly, without sadness or joy: "If there is really such a day is also the inevitable development of history, there has never been an empire in this world, there is no eternal peace, and there is no revolution once and for all, I just need to do my duty and do what I can, and never fantasize about those unrealistic things." ”

"Understood, let's go, no matter how beautiful the dream is, if it can't be implemented, it's just a fantasy, and at my age, you will know that time makes people old." Rudolph took his son's arm and stood up and prayed earnestly to the sunset: "Praise be to Sindra, may the goddess of fate guide us in the direction of our progress." ”

"Praise be to Sindra, and all glory be to my lord!" Like his father, Roland crossed his hands on his heart and bowed his head in prayer facing the sunset.
