When the snow is falling, the New Year's carnival in Holier City has become a historic day for the kingdom of Karen.

Roddy is good at building momentum, so this gathering of the demigod-level dragons was advertised in the newspapers as another important summit of the "human-dragon" alliance - although in fact it was only them who came to listen to the lectures of Kardashian and others, but Roddy did hold a few impromptu meetings with the lords, and the group photos in the newspapers were also taken during the meeting, which was not a lie.

The most direct impact of this kind of news is the stability of the people's will and the deterrence of the surrounding areas.

The kingdom has begun to recover from the effects of war. Rodi was well aware of the influence of "public opinion" on the people of the country, and now he has set up a "propaganda department" to supervise all newspapers and magazines distributed within the kingdom.

The current kingdom of Karon is in a phase of recovery and transformation. The so-called "transformation" mainly lies in the update of farming technology and the gradual popularization of spar energy. Both of these can essentially free up a large number of laborers and increase productivity in a blowout. And when a large number of people no longer worry about their livelihoods, the "industrial revolution" will naturally occur.

Roddy knew about this process as an earthling, but the others who participated in the New Year's carnival at this time were unaware. He is thinking more about how to solve the current problem: a seemingly unified and beautiful country, but in fact it still faces various challenges.

Looking at the dragons and the crowd of dragons and people in front of him, he held the wine glass in his hand, and finally made a decision in his heart, and walked towards the position of Sodrore and Erwin.

"Erwin, although the barracks don't allow you to drink, but someone still stops you from drinking during the holidays? Why do you act like you've never drunk alcohol in your life!"

Erwin, who was the representative of the officers, was drinking with a king-sized oak wine glass, and Sodlore next to him laughed at him, who was amused and replied: "It's not that the prime minister's wine here is good!

Sodrol was dressed in a straight military uniform, and today was a formal occasion, so naturally he would not wear armor. His ancestors were nobles, and he was naturally familiar with participating in this kind of activity, but now he has been in charge of the army for a long time, and he is free and coerced by a general.

Roddy walked over and said hello: "Drink as much as you want, it's enough." But I don't care if I drink and lie down. ”

Erwin was first regarded as Roddy's personal bodyguard, served as a special company commander in the war, and now serves as an "instructor" after becoming famous in several battles. Not to mention his superb martial arts now, his understanding and application of "special operations" may be the benchmark existence of the armies of various countries on the mainland.

Sodrore, on the other hand, was much more leisurely after the end of the war. After all, for these elite soldiers, the task of unifying the remaining territories of the kingdom is not difficult, and the only troublesome things are the reconstruction of order after the war and the demobilization of soldiers.

Fortunately, Luo Di did not have a war to produce hundreds of thousands of troops, and the strength of thermal weapons warfare is not measured by numbers, he has proved this with this battle of unification, and now the infantry divisions have been arranged in various military regions, and the rule of biennial rotation has also been set. In addition, the work arrangements of veterans after retirement have also been gradually improved, and now serving as a soldier in the Karen Kingdom can be described as a "glorious career", which is far from being comparable to the reputation and treatment of noble private soldiers in the past.

Because the kingdom did not allow other nobles to have armies, other nobles were now completely insulated from "recruitment". When it comes to power, now a military tycoon like Sodrol is the absolute "real power".

Of course, he knew where he got this power, so although he spoke casually in front of Roddy, he was not much polite.

"Prime Minister, this guy drinks like water, let him drink so much in vain, I look at it as a waste. ”

"It's rare to get together once a year, I can still afford it, drink as much as you want!"

Roddy smiled and said a few words, then clinked glasses with Sodrore and Erwin. The latter saw that Roddy had something to say to Sodlore, so he excused himself and left.

"It's not easy to have this day... How have you been doing for the past six months?

He asked casually, the two were comrades-in-arms from the scout period. When he galloped on the grassland to kill the orcs, no one expected that he would stand here and drink today, so there was a lot of emotion in the words.

"I don't have as much time to practice as I did at the beginning, and I have a lot of things to deal with every day. Sodrore told the truth, "However, after the system of the military region is perfected, it is much easier than the previous situation of relying entirely on human rule." Compared with the previous aristocracy, I am not a little bit relaxed. So now I can still spare time to practice swordsmanship, level... There should be no fall. ”

The modesty of what he said in his mouth was actually that Roddy could see that Sodrore was already at the forty-seventh level. This kind of strength has far surpassed the two great knights of Titus and Wellington in Evta.

There is indeed a resource reason for this: in the past, when I practiced swords, I had to carefully maintain and polish them, and I was distressed when I broke them. Nowadays, not to mention weapons and armor, it is not a problem to invite top swordsmen to sparring, so for this genius, it is normal for him to improve his swordsmanship day by day.

"It's good that it didn't fall behind. Roddy answered, and Sodrore was sharp-minded, and immediately heard the voice: "Hey, the Prime Minister has a new arrangement?"

"There are some ideas, but they haven't been confirmed yet. But I was relieved to see that General Sodrol was not sleeping in the gentle country. ”

Luo Di looked at the scene of the dragon clan and humans laughing and celebrating together in the half-plane, and said in a low voice: "The army can't just practice, and if it doesn't come into contact with actual combat for three or five years, I'm afraid that its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." ”

Sodrore nodded in agreement, the two of them came from the ranks, and of course they knew the secrets. However, fighting a war is really burning money, and sometimes this is indeed a difficult matter to balance: if we do not fight, the army will inevitably be weakened, and if we fight, the country's finances will be strained.

"I know you're worried, but I'm thinking of a different path. Luo Di smiled and didn't talk about it anymore: "Let those recruits be nervous after the holiday, don't think that after the battle, you can lie on the straw stack every day to eat." ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. He replied straightly, and when he saw Luo Di waving his hand to let him relax, he smiled and said: "Hey, I remember the old days, when I was also a guy lying down waiting for military pay." ”

The two of them said a few nostalgic words, and Roddy kept walking through the venue. Many demigod-level dragon clan elders came over to clink glasses, and they all hoped that the honorary elder would give a few more lectures, but Luo Di politely refused on the grounds that the research department still had a topic to do - there must be reservations in this matter, after all, the status of the honorary elder cannot be stabilized by overnight efforts, this is a matter that needs to be repeated for a long time.
