Chapter 150: The Untouchable Shadow
After finally dealing with the various trivial matters that Andrarui had backlogged on, it was almost past lunch time, and this was still Andrei's point of being at ease with the affairs of the government. Of course, there are also his followers who have grown up, and they already have a deep understanding of the way the Children of the Abyss behave, and sometimes all they need is a decision or a few tips that cannot be easily made.
But Andre's next steps are much more subtle and important than the daily grind and construction plans. Because the next thing that the Children of the Abyss will focus on is the cohesion of the people of the territory towards Andrarui that cannot be shaken by the outside world! If he can, he even hopes that the people can sacrifice their lives for the territory when needed! Even if ordinary people cannot have such awareness, then the key members who will become the focus of Andrari's work must have this determination and consciousness to not fear death! Because when Andrarui gathers more and more wealth, only the "flesh and blood wall" forged by a powerful army can truly stop the snooping of those who are young.
In fact, if you want to say that there are more "successful" examples, it is not without them in the world that Andrei knows, and those militarist regimes in the past are very prominent examples. However, Andrei did not have the idea of brainwashing the Andrarui armed forces to be established into that kind of extremist organization, perhaps the Huaxia Military Academy in the world war was a good model. But that was also because the country was in crisis at that time, and the patriots were united, which was far from Andrarui, which was in a prosperous scene. Without that imminent sense of national urgency, it is only afraid that it will be difficult to cultivate a group of truly loyal people who serve the country. Moreover, Andrarui is different from that huge country with a long history, according to the language of the previous life, it is simply a small projectile land! But the more Andrarui develops, the more likely it is to attract other forces to watch. It is obviously impractical not to make a plan in advance and only rely on the protection of the elven kingdom, after all, the Emerald River Valley is only on the edge of the whispering forest, not to mention the hinterland of the elven kingdom, and the terrain in the forest can only be used as a logistics route by the river channel that is still under development. If you start to rush again when there is a military emergency, it will be too late.
Yudeon, who had returned to Andrari with André, looked at the troubled appearance of the Son of the Abyss sitting in front of the plate without eating, and couldn't help but wonder - what could have stumped this Son of the Abyss, who was so omnipotent?
"Your Highness, what are you worried about?"
André glanced at the Great Druid, whose face was full of oddity, and suddenly felt that it might be useful to learn from the experience of the most powerful country in the world.
"Andrari is bound to get more and more prosperous, right?" The Child of the Abyss tried to connect the topic he wanted to convey to the situation at hand, though they may actually be more than 108,000 miles apart.
"Yes. "Yudeon felt even more strange, it turned out that it was not the love of children but the part of André that he was best at?
"The more wealth is accumulated, Andrari, which has become a prosperous gathering place in the western part of the forest, will undoubtedly arouse the envy and jealousy of other forces, right?"
"This ...... Perhaps?" Why does this young man always think longer than an old fellow like himself?
"When wealth is accumulated to a certain extent, envy and envy begin to corrupt the minds of the greedy, making them take risks, right?"
"Your Highness, are you overthinking?" the Great Druid thought that if he had been thinking about something like this every day, it might not take a few days for him to become nervous and his face withered.
"People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, have you forgotten?"
"Then how do you want to solve this problem, Your Highness?"
"Build your own army!"
"Isn't this something you've been striving for some time ago, and now that the leaders of the Watchers and the Kingdom Council have voted for it in a majority, you can do it with your hands, Your Highness!"
"But what I want is not an ordinary army, but a powerful army that can be fearless of death when necessary, ignore military orders like a mountain, and put life and death out of the way!" Andre pinched his fluffy chin, his expression became confused, "Is it really because my requirements are too high?"
"......" Yudian felt that he was really old, and there was no shadow of the enemy at this time, but this highness had already thought of the situation when the "national crisis was at hand"! But on the other hand, as long as the passage between the Demon Realm and Galandia was not completely "closed", war seemed to be a matter that the elves would eventually face. From this point of view, Andrei's idea seems to be very positive.
"Your Highness, in such a good place as Andrarui, everyone will definitely work together in that kind of crisis moment. Just like when Galandia and the Demons were driven out of this world! ”
"No, it's different. If the coalition had been able to work together from the start, the army of the King of Nations would probably not have had a chance to crusade around Garlandia for decades. It will be too late to reclaim Andrare's once it is captured, not to mention that it has been less than a year since the site was selected, and it is difficult for people to establish a true sense of belonging to this emerging city with such a rapid development rate and the continuous addition of new blood. Even over time, it is inevitable that there will be people with ulterior motives mixed in, all of which can be regarded as hidden dangers that may occur at any time for a city whose economic development far exceeds that of its neighbors. Without an elite army as a powerful deterrent, it would be impossible for Andrarui's development to be so stable forever!"
......
André's words were constantly haunting Udion's mind, and the Great Druid instinctively felt that what the Children of the Abyss said made sense, but he also felt that things might not necessarily go that way. But no matter what, he still felt in his heart that what the son of the abyss said was very likely to come true. In the early years, when the watchers had not taken radical measures, the human slave catchers could selectively ignore the powerful national power of the elven kingdom for the sake of profit, and in recent years, those evil slave catchers have only set their sights on those targets that are easier to get hold of - compared to the pure-blood elves who can be sold for sky-high prices, although the benefits of catching half-elves and half-orcs are much less, the relative risks will be much smaller.
The Children of the Abyss had indeed taken a grip on people's hearts ahead of most people, but it was something that could make it difficult for him to think that he probably couldn't find any effective solutions. Just like Andre said, the Galandia coalition was not able to achieve the same hatred from the beginning, and even before the demons actually attacked the Whispering Forest, even the attitude towards the demons within the elven kingdom was not so uniform. It wasn't until the hands of those invaders were stained with the blood of their compatriots that the kingdom army, which was full of grief and indignation, really let go of their previous naïve thoughts and picked up the weapons in their hands to meet those crazy enemies desperately. The demons' reckless burning of the forest caused anger and turmoil throughout the kingdom, so there were pioneers like Yudeon's brother Marserion who wanted to completely drive the demons out of Garlandia regardless of his personal safety and unswervingly carried out his beliefs!
Because they understand that for the sake of the stability of their families, their compatriots, and the kingdom, even if they die on the battlefield in a foreign land, their souls will return to the embrace of the earth goddess! Dwarves, orcs, humans, and even the feather tribe are all the same, all of them firmly believe that the souls who fight bravely will not be abandoned by the merciful goddesses, and even if they die on the battlefield, the souls will get rid of the troubles of their previous lives in the underworld, and finally forget their pasts and be reincarnated in the hometown they loved in their previous lives......
The Great Druid, who had been meditating on it just now, seemed to wake up as if his soul had suddenly opened up, and he was actually annoyed that he had not thought of such a natural thing before! Although this kind of thinking may be regarded as a heresy for mortal beliefs, once he has obtained the approval of that one, it may only be a matter of course to quickly increase Andrarui's cohesion!
If such an army can be built according to the vision of the children of the abyss, Andrari's legacy that will last for thousands of years will only be overnight!!
