Although some of the defeatist arguments just mentioned are equivalent to pouring cold water on the burning morale.

But what the adjutant said, everyone understands. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, even if the Son of Keha has won such a big victory ten times, I am afraid that it still can't be compared with a behemoth like the Federation, right?

Thinking about it this way, many people fell silent. Or are some people even more worried, worried that they will repeat the mistakes of the Kailian War?

Hearing the adjutant's words, Istta's brows began to wrinkle: "Adjutant, can you think of any way?" ”

He has always handed over these questions to the adjutant to deal with, and now he naturally has to ask her first.

looked at her and thought for a while, before slowly saying, "It's difficult!" I'm not saying that there is no way, but because of the exhibition of the base, it has fallen into a bottleneck. To put it bluntly, there is no money! ”

Here the adjutant took out a document and handed it to Ishta. These are all official matters that Ishtar, as the head of the country, has not had time to deal with because of the war. There is a current assessment of industrial production capacity above, which has been explained very clearly.

"The main thing is that we don't have money, because our finances are affected by the federal government, and we have always been strangled by it. Not only did it not improve much, but it was dragged down by the war and declined! The adjutant also expressed his helplessness about this: "If only for the sake of industrial capacity, we can build more factories and produce at full capacity." But if there is no money, it will not only be a problem to build a factory, but if there is no money to buy raw materials, it may not even be possible to maintain the current production capacity. ”

Without money, it is still a headache. In such a materialistic world, if you don't have money, you really can't do anything at all.

Even if you become the national dollar, you have to worry about money? So it's no wonder why the federal government is like this, even officials need to worry about money. If this is not corruption, it is strange not to take bribes!

"What about our Minister of Commerce? Aveley. What about Locke? Ishtar suddenly thought of this guy, but after looking around the people present, it seemed that he didn't see this person? looked at it for a while, and then sighed again: "Laura is not here either?" ”

The adjutant shrugged his shoulders at this and said, "They have been out of the country for a long time, and Victoria has also gone out." Called you, the incompetent national yuan, ran to the front line without a sound. I had to get the three of them together and form a diplomatic corps to go out and visit. Go to other civilizations and see if you can get some financial revenue. ”

When he heard the adjutant say that he was incompetent, Ishta's face turned red with embarrassment. There is no way, he is used to being the shopkeeper, and he even dares to find someone to sign the official documents of the government. It can be said that he has already refined it, so after just blushing for a while, he hurriedly coughed, and then his face turned straight: "How is it, is there any progress on their visit?" ”

For this characteristic of his, the people present were already surprised, so most of them didn't say anything. Only the adjutant rolled his eyes at him, then threw out another document, handed it into his hand, and said: "Progress is not nothing, it is just not ideal." ”

As a local power, and in the eyes of other orthodox civilizations, it is at best an arm. Naturally, if we want to talk about diplomacy, there must be all kinds of obstacles.

However, if we only talk about progress, we can do win the support of some civilizations. After all, with the continuous escalation of the war between the Son of Keha and the Federation, whether it is attrition during the war or recovery after the war, there must be a huge profit cake.

It's just that if how much of it is useful to the current son of Keha, I'm afraid it's really hard to say. At most, there are some consortia and companies from other civilizations that will come and invest after being persuaded by them. However, this kind of money is relatively slow, and there will not be a lot of income in the short term, so it will definitely not have much effect on the current situation.

Fortunately, Amazon reminded me of this: "Lord Yuan, you seem to have forgotten the battle we just won. A large amount of supplies from Gerard and other federal troops have now fallen into our hands. And we have occupied a lot of colonized planets, and we can ask the people on these colonized planets to raise donations! ”

In a slightly euphemistic way, I expressed it. You must know that the people on a planet, even if there are only 100 million people living there, and everyone who asks for a "donation" of 100,000 will bring a huge amount of considerable income. You must know that it is precisely because of this income method that they have the money to fight this battle.

As soon as Amazon's words came out, Ishtar glanced at the others. Most of the manufacturers in their own base don't say anything, anyway, it has nothing to do with them, and they don't pay attention to the "moral" aspect.

However, it can still be clearly seen that many people here, including Warfield and Lust, are frowning. They are soldiers after all, and they need to have the honor of being soldiers. This kind of wanton oppression of the people is always immoral and dishonorable. It's just that they must also understand that if they don't do this, I'm afraid there will be no way to fight in the future!

Everyone was silent for a moment, and saw that no one spoke. What considerations did a military staff officer make? said: "Everyone, if you want to talk about the oppression of civilians, although it is not too glorious, it is also a helpless move. And I think this may be an unexpected benefit for the military operation that we are about to embark on! ”

Probably the first time such statements were heard, and everyone's eyes turned to this military staff officer. Ishtar glanced at him, knew who he was, and said, "Officer Vickers, why do you say that the oppression of civilians will be beneficial to our future operations?" Shouldn't there be even stronger resistance? ”

"It's simple, because of the war!" "The nature of war is legitimate killing and pillage, and these civilians who have been scorched by the flames of war should understand this," Vickers said. So if more people know that as long as they pay a part of the price they can afford in exchange for their lives and safety, I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they should know how to choose! ”
