Joseph lowered his binoculars, tilted his head, and took a deep breath of the polluted air mixed with the smoke of coal burning.

Before, he was so disgusted by the smell. Of course, this is due to the fact that I have lived in the underground ruins for too long and have been influenced by the materials of the civilization era. There were a lot of environmentalists back then, and they believed that all carbon emissions had to be banned.

Now, Joseph feels that the smell reveals an unprecedented sense of security, and finally understands the true meaning of the phrase "carbon emissions are directly related to the strength of a country".

Looking at the prototype in the distance, which was still being tested, Joseph muttered to himself, "You'll have to try it to know the final result." Giants of the North...... Come on, let me see if you're as tough and invincible as you say you are. There is only one ruler in the world, and it can only be us. ”

……

The Saxon kingdom collapsed faster than expected.

It's November.

The autumn grain harvest season is over, and there is not a trace of green in sight in the empty fields. From the south of Morente, most of the territory of the Saxon kingdom is located in the temperate zone, where the four seasons are distinct, and the cold winter begins.

I have to admit that the Saxon ancestors were really discerning in choosing a place to live. The city of London is surrounded by abundant resources, abundant water and, most importantly, fertile land, which is easy to cultivate and extremely productive because of its climate.

The reason why Tianhao sent balloon troops to attack Plantagenet and Rhine was, on the one hand, to cause forest fires and burn a large area of wheat that was about to ripen; On the other hand, it is to destroy the living foundation and fighting spirit of the local people to the greatest extent. Judging from this year's harvest, the large-scale harvest of gorse and Rhine is a foregone conclusion, while in Saxon, taking London as an example, the golden wheat has been harvested, hulled, and dried more than a month ago, and now all of it is collected and put into storage.

This wealth previously belonged to the king and high-ranking nobles, and now belongs to Tianhao.

The clean-up of London continues to this day. Mainly slums and civilian areas, the dirty parts must be cleaned within the allotted time, along the river that crosses the city, on the basis of the demolition of the buildings destroyed in the war, tall buildings that belong to the giants of the north rise from the ground.

It takes a large population to occupy and control a world. Count Laurent became the first surrendered nobleman to receive a fief because of his "meritorious service". Tianhao imposes draconian birth control on whites, but greatly increases various benefits for the citizens of the Dragon Empire. One of the most important of these is the subsidy provided by the Imperial Government for the birth of a child, and the family of a newborn child receives material assistance from the community under its jurisdiction, from baby food to school and education.

"Go to the South, occupy and get white land."

This has become a propaganda slogan familiar to almost everyone in the Northern Empire. Tianhao's preferential policy in terms of newly occupied land is very strong. For example, the existing citizens of the Empire in Rock City, who were willing to come and settle in London, were given a house for free, as well as a hundred acres of fertile land with a tax holiday of two years.

Later, there was only the "White Quarter" and the "Imperial Civic Zone". But in fact, in the secret official documents exchanged within the empire, whites are collectively referred to as "slaves", and only the different identities represented by them are the Zhiwei army, slave civilians, third-class slaves, and second-class slaves......

As long as there is enough food, the birth of offspring is extremely fast. Before the Kingdom Alliance's attack on Suolong Pass, the population of Rock City had increased several times in just a few years, and this is the most typical example.

White faculty members from the North have been dispersed. According to Tianhao's orders, they will expand the influence and spread of the imperial Chinese language as much as possible in the coming year.

Wu Lin is the new Minister of Education. He combined the education plans for this year and next and divided them into two parts according to ethnicity. This was done because the year was coming to an end, but the will of the young emperor had to be carried out.

The Dragon Empire implements a nine-year compulsory education system.

In the temporary transitional appellation of the occupied territories, three years of free education for white children may be granted "when conditions permit".

Please note that it is "free" education, not "compulsory" education.

The free premise comes from the advice of surrendered nobles such as the Count of Laurent. Of course, nothing was free, and the funds for the education of white children were actually donated by the surrendering aristocracy who were distributed everywhere. According to Tianhao's plan, the free education policy is currently formulated in three phases, that is, a period of nine years before and after. This was done because of the overall financial strength of the empire and the influence of the course of the war. Fighting wars has always been a money-burning affair, and even with the policy of "feeding war with war" is seriously implemented, there is still controversy within the empire about the "free education for white children" program.

If it were not for Tianhao's strong personal will and the deterrence of power, it would have been difficult to implement this plan.

It is not difficult to understand that although the Dragon Empire has a powerful army, it is not a power in the true sense of the word. military, economic, cultural, national comprehensive ability and education level...... Compared to the southern states, the Dragon Empire was only quite successful in military affairs. Even within the military, many officers and soldiers have questioned why all white people deserve to die, they are our slaves, and why can they enjoy the same educational qualifications as our children?

Newspapers appeared in the North.

The Imperial Daily initially had a small circulation. The basis of information and news sources is the telegraph stations of different sizes in each city and village. At the current level of industry in the empire, the cable was undoubtedly too high, but it was feasible to make electric wires, and with the different scales of thermal power stations being built in various places, a system of information dissemination that was ahead of its time began to be established and began to take shape.

The emergence of Morse code is inseparable from the English language. The practice of replacing letters with the length of the signal became the basis of the telegraph. In contrast, it is difficult for a large number of Chinese characters to be used in the same way. The source of Tianhao's countermeasures is the era of civilization, he compiled the code book, which is based on thousands of commonly used Chinese characters as the standard, compared in the form of pinyin, and also uses the length of the signal to transmit, and adds four syllables at the end of the signal. It is more difficult to use than Morse code, but it eliminates the need for the operator to learn English. As long as you have a decoder in hand, you can translate it against the radio signal.

News and war reports from the Far South, as they spread over the airwaves to the cities of the North, were printed in the streets at noon the next day.

Extremely important for the propaganda work of the people, Tianhao's eldest brother, Tianfeng, who was named the prince, also served as the Minister of Propaganda of the Empire. According to the order, the propaganda commissioners of the Ministry of Civil Affairs assigned to various localities must work with the political commissars to interpret the imperial policy to the people and not to mislead them.

A new industry has emerged with newspaper readers.

"I know your son is an officer, but you have to turn things upside down. No matter how brave your son is, one can fight ten, or twenty, but how many white people can he kill after a battle? Didn't you read what the newspapers said, there are too many white people in the South, and there are hundreds of millions of Saxons alone, more than a dozen times as many as ours. ”

"Do you think that His Majesty's leading the army to the south is a flat push of cities one after another? How is that possible...... If that's the way to play, killing all the white people, how many bullets will it take? How many shells? After all, the whites who surrendered were still the majority, and it was unrealistic to kill them all. Over the years, there have been a lot of slaves from the south, and you can see that there are quite a few of them in and out of our city. They don't understand what we say, and we don't understand their nonsense. So His Majesty the Emperor asked for three years of free education for whites, so that they could learn to speak, to speak our language. ”

"I know you're a hunter before, so I'll ask you a question: do you prefer wild fang-toothed pigs in the mountains and forests, or domestic-toothed pigs that stay in their pens honestly...... It must be domesticated, right? Because they are very obedient, as long as they are given food, they will not make a fuss, and they will not run around like wild boars in the mountains...... The same is true for the whites, as long as they are given some benefits, so that they can do what they have to do in peace, and obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, it will save us a lot of trouble. ”

Preaching and interpreting is more difficult than you think, but as long as you do the initial work, the rest will become smooth and smooth. Coupled with the fact that a large number of wounded officers who had retired from the front were distributed to various places, many of the populace became the most fanatical supporters of the young emperor.

There was always something new that came to mind, and the slaves of the various engineering legions quickly discovered that those who had a nimble brain, a fast learner, and a mastery of the dragon language in a short time were getting the best treatment. What is even more enviable is that with the promulgation of the three-year free education order, because of the large shortage of teachers in the newly occupied areas of the south, these fellows were pardoned, put on the light gray teacher's uniform issued by the Imperial Ministry of Education, carried a brand new temporary teaching certificate in their pockets, happily left the stench of slaves, occupied by fleas, mosquitoes, flies and all kinds of messy little bugs, and set out on the road to happiness home with hesitation and anticipation.

It turns out that you can get such preferential treatment if you learn dragon language well!

With thousands of living examples in front of them, the white slaves of the various engineering legions quickly set off a frenzy to learn the dragon language. They never let go of their usual fragmented time, eating, resting, and going to the toilet seize every second to become familiar with square characters, and their understanding of words and different sentence patterns is also deepening. Polyphonic words and polymorphic words are the most troublesome, and in this case it is necessary to rely on the language teachers within the engineering corps.

This is a special department, all the directors are personally appointed by Tianhao, and most of the guards are transferred from the "zoo" in Rock City. They have received relevant training from Tianhao and are fluent in English. Most of the coaches are white, that is, those selected from the "zoo".

To live, people must have ideals, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?

The slaves became less tired. They don't fall into bed and fall asleep after getting off work as before, but seize all the time to find the language teacher for a solution. Within the Engineer Corps, these white teachers had a good status, and although they were still slaves in the eyes of the giant officers and soldiers, only slightly higher in rank than the prisoners of war who did manual labor, they were essentially indistinguishable...... However, the POWs did not think so, and they threatened to lure the white language teachers in order to get more class time and improve their dragon language skills.

"Do you teach or not? If you don't teach us, we'll kill you! Don't think it's just lip service, not real thing. You're white just like us, and even if you die, someone else will come and take your place. Giants don't care about that...... Well, I'll admit that there weren't any similar examples before, but you have to try everything. You can choose to come and teach for an extra hour after we get off work, and we'll all be friends. You can also choose to refuse, I guarantee your head will appear in the deepest part of the pit in five minutes, and I'm excited to see how the giants will react when they see your decomposing corpse. ”

"Dear, help, I just want to learn more from you. I can be your little lamb, the most obedient kind. You know what I'm referring to, there's no chick here, and it's hard to see women. You can do whatever you want with me, it's the only reward I can give you. One thing I have to tell you is that I'm actually very clean and take a shower every day. ”

The threat of beheading sounds scary, but it does work.

The temptress who promised to become a lamb was very powerful, with a full beard, a burly body, well-developed muscles, and a strong smell of sweat and body odor all over his body. It is said that the reason why the language teacher who was lured agreed had nothing to do with the temptation conditions such as "lambs...... He could not stand the strong stench, could suffocate at any moment, and in order to survive, he was forced to obey.

There is a popular saying among slaves: learn the dragon language well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world.

The Engineer Corps strictly followed orders from Tianhao and the Imperial Ministry of Education: any slave who passed the language level test would be pardoned.

When these people return to their home countries, they become potential social agents. Whether it's Plantagenet, the Rhine, the Vikings, or the Holy See, they will use their own personal experiences to admonish those who know them: they must learn the dragon language from now on, because war may come one day. Instead of believing in those unreliable noble lords and the equally unreliable kingdom harmony army, it is better to rely on your own strength and learn a smooth dragon language in advance. Believe me, this is the foundation of a happy life.

After the winter, Tianhao issued the first decree from the city of London against all the former Saxons, that is, the white civilians in the newly occupied areas.
