Chapter 190: The Ants !!

Throughout the month of June, the Leafcutter Ant Nation was busy pacifying the northern part of the Red Fire Ant Country, while the Divine Envoy King Legion was busy carrying out reforms.

By the end of June, the Leafcutter Ant Army had finally won a decisive victory, and the military and political reform of the Divine Envoy King's army was basically completed.

Although there is more or less resistance in the reform, for example, the male ants are not happy that the Divine Soldier Ants have obtained many administrative positions in the Military Department and can intervene in military command, and some subordinate ant tribes are dissatisfied that their queens are under the management of the Ant Mouth Department, etc.

However, the protagonist has the oldest qualifications, has the support of most of the army and commanders, and has the blessing of higher prestige from the victory that has just been achieved to defeat the Red Fire Ant Nation, and the opposition is generally insignificant.

In terms of administrative system, the framework of the ten-ministry system is basically determined, although many of the subordinate offices are still empty shelves, or lack of professional ants, but there is always a good start, the shelves are erected, and then slowly fill the vacancies.

The joint congress of various ethnic groups and the ant tribe assembly have also been established, and special conference rooms have been built. These rooms are lavishly decorated, especially the special meeting rooms of the highest-ranking joint assembly of various nationalities, where particles of red agate, gold, obsidian, and white pebbles are inlaid on the walls with beautiful and solemn geometric figures, and fluorescent bacteria and money are planted all over the walls and ceilings. The delegates who meet here naturally have a solemn sense of ceremony.

The army has also completed the reform, with the stag elephant, the beetle, the centipede and other second-generation male ants of the Divine Envoy King's army have retired and turned to administrative positions, the conservative forces in the standing army have completely lost power, and the oldest is also the fourth generation of males, which cannot be compared with the seniority and prestige of the Divine Envoy King. The obedient young Zhuang faction supported by the protagonist took control of the army, and the Divine Ant finally entered some of the legions and served as the squad commander among them, breaking the old routine of male ants monopolizing the command position of the army.

At the end of the reform, on July 1, the protagonist announced that the official name of the country of the Divine Envoy King's Legion was changed to "The Ant United Nations", or "Ant Alliance" for short.

The major ant tribes generally do not have official country names, such as the Leaf Cutting Ant Country and the Red Fire Ant Country, which are all based on the name of their ruling ant tribe, which is a conventional name, for example, the Leaf Cutting Ant Country does not call itself the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, but other ant tribes call it so.

If you encounter several countries with the same ant clan, such as the paving ant barbarian country in the homeland and the current paving ant empire, it is more difficult to distinguish them in the title, the barbarian country and the empire, both of which are the names of the protagonist's own brain, in fact, both of them are called paving ant countries.

There are many of the same ant clans in the Civilized Ant Clan Alliance, and they will be distinguished by a certain clan inherited by a certain god, but there are often the same ant clan of the same inheritance, which is still easy to confuse.

The protagonist doesn't care about the affairs of the other ant clans.,But the Divine Envoy King Legion does lack a name that is enough to represent himself.,When the protagonist went to the Ancient God Inheritance Conference,,Said that he was from the Divine Envoy King Legion.,I always feel that this is not a country.,At most, it's a separatist warlord.,Plainly, it seems to be a head shorter than other countries.。

Therefore, the god envoy king legion wants to determine an official country name, and the situation of the ant alliance is different from other ant clans, although it is a big-headed ant clan as the main ant clan, but nominally other ant clans are not slaves, and even higher than the vassal status, can not be directly called "big-headed ant so-and-so country" or "so-and-so big-headed ant country", that would be too narrow, and it is not conducive to the united front.

In the end, the name "The Ant United Nations" set by the protagonist himself, although most of his subordinates are full of tentacle question marks about this country name, but I think it's good to get used to it.

As a result, the "Ant Alliance" officially appeared in this ant world, and July 1 is also regarded as the National Day of the Ant Alliance, and banquets and sacrifices are held at this time of year. This is the second official holiday of the Ant Nation after the New Year.

————

The ant alliance was officially launched, and the name of the Divine Envoy King Legion was not lost, and the standing army of the Ant Coalition was still called the Divine Envoy King Legion, with the Divine Envoy King as the only supreme leader.

Armed forces that are not in reserve for the Ant, such as the Queen Guard, are not allowed to use the name of the Divine Messenger Legion.

After "Xiaohua" became the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, his first task was to send flying knights to the various civilizations in the region to announce the news that the Divine Envoy King's Legion had been renamed the "Ant Alliance".

During this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is the busiest, while organizing departments to cope with more and more trade needs throughout the year.

The military operations of the Leafcutter Ant Nation and the subsequent occupation and construction consumed a lot of national strength, and in order to plant trees in the new territory, they even mobilized ants to produce food.

Of course, they dare to do this because their own food production has always been a lot, and this year they have imported a lot of grain from the ant country.

Almost every week, Xiaohua receives requests for grain trade from the leaf-cutting ant country, and after reaching an agreement, it has to coordinate with the Ministry of Transport to organize a transport team to transport the grain to [Red Iron City] for delivery.

The Leafcutter Ant Kingdom now has very few goods that can be used to trade grain, and they do not have enough food for themselves, and they have no hematite resources. In the end, the goods obtained by the Ant Union were mainly Xingtianniu and ant silk.

The Star Sky Bull is useful for the transportation of the Ant Alliance, especially the transportation across the river, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Country has no means of payment, so it can only send its holy beast out in exchange for food.

The ant silk produced by the leaf-cutting ant is tougher than the ant silk produced by the ant union, and it is also a goods that can barely be exchanged.

With the arrival of a large number of slave ants captured during the conquest of the Red Fire Ant Country, the Grand Canal project has accelerated, and the number of deaths in the thousands per day has been exchanged for the imminent completion of the Grand Canal.

On July 8, the entire section of the Grand Canal was excavated, and the connection to the western stream was about to be blasted to fetch water.

The blasting operation was relatively unsuccessful, the construction team with no experience in directional blasting made a mistake in blasting, failed to completely blow up the connection, and the water flowed into the canal weakly and slowly, far from providing sufficient water, and it was difficult to continue the construction due to the ingress.

The Minister of Engineering was ordered by the protagonist to personally sit on the construction site, and did not rush to the construction of the slave ants wading through the water, and at the cost of four figures of casualties, he planted a mysterious ball bomb in the water again, and finally exploded the blockage.

At this point, the Grand Canal project lasted more than half a year, and at the cost of 300,000 dead construction ants (most of them were slave ants put into construction in the later period), it was finally completed, and the ant alliance country had a major artery for east-west transportation in the territory.

The ant alliance then launched the second phase of the Grand Canal project, planning to extend the branch line to other important auxiliary nests, and the remaining more than 200,000 slave ants who were lucky enough to survive in the first phase of the project embarked on a road of blood and tears again, which is a later story!
