Chapter 39: How about destroying the Droz?
"Elder, do you have any plans for the future of the Dro Kingdom?" Kennard asked.
"The kingdom of the Dro?"
Xu Yi frowned, shook his head, and threw out the cruel and terrifying riot scenes that came to mind.
Before that, although he had lived on this continent for more than ten years, when looking at other people on the Sainz continent, he would always have a hint of objective observation mentality that stayed out of the matter, and rarely really invested in it.
However, this time, after witnessing the various tragic mirrors that took place in the riots of the Dro kingdom, he really felt a trace of hatred from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
Judging from his personal emotional point of view, he would like to wipe out these Dero tribes directly.
However, reason told him that even if there were countless Dros in the kingdom who participated in the riot, it did not mean that the Dros were all guilty.
From an objective point of view, if the entire Dro tribe is exterminated because of this, what is the difference between it and those Dero people who participated in the riot.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi replied: "Now that the Chamber of Commerce escort has officially entered the Dero Kingdom, as long as we strengthen our control over the Dero Kingdom in the future, it will be impossible for those despicable Dero people to make any more trouble." ”
"So I'm asking......" Kennard's face revealed a strange aura. "Elder, have you ever thought about how to strengthen your control over the Dro Kingdom?"
Xu Yi was slightly stunned, looked at Kennard with a meaningful look, and asked rhetorically, "What do you want to say?"
"Grow up. The Dero Kingdom is more than 4,000 kilometers away from the main base of our Chamber of Commerce. Even with the help of a magic airship. A trip can also take close to two days to arrive. At such a great distance. It's hard for us to truly control the Dro kingdom with just three thousand chamber guards. ”
"So what?"
"So I thought...... Shouldn't we be a little more thorough?"
"Oh, what do you think is done thoroughly?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard with an interested expression.
Seeing that Xu Yi seemed interested in listening, Kennard suddenly felt shocked, got up and came to the map of the Sainz continent hanging on the wall of his office, and slapped the location of the Dero kingdom marked on the map.
"Elder, you see, the Dero Kingdom is bordered by the Candela Empire in the west and the eastern countries of the continent in the east, and you can go a thousand kilometers to the south to reach the Endless Sea. It can be said that it is the most important country in the eastern part of the continent. If we want to promote the products of the Chamber of Commerce to other countries in the east and northeast of the continent in the future, we will inevitably be unable to bypass the Dero Kingdom. ”
"Well, I know this, that's why I will directly send an escort team into the Dero Kingdom this time, just to facilitate the future operation of the Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi nodded.
"Your foresight, Lord Elder, of course you can see the importance of the kingdom of the Dro. But I think...... You haven't done enough. "Kenna's Orthodox Path.
"Tell me what isn't enough. ”
"You should be well aware that the kingdom of the Dro can almost be regarded as a mono-ethnic state composed entirely of the Dro. Such a state is arguably the most cohesive of all, but also the most dangerous. Although we have now forcibly suppressed the resistance of the Droz by force, I am sure. In the future, when they are reconciled, they will inevitably clash again with the foreigners who remain in the kingdom of the Droz. And the escort of our Chamber of Commerce left there. will become their primary target. ”
"You're right, and that's what I've been worried about. Xu Yi nodded. "If it's just three thousand guards, it's no problem to keep the base and control a part of the area, but it's a little difficult to completely control the entire Dro Kingdom. However, the total number of guards of our Chamber of Commerce is only 20,000 people, and it is impossible for so many people to be sent over. ”
"So, we should be a little bit more thorough. Since it is impossible to completely control these Droos, it is better to simply destroy them, then there is no need to have a headache. ”
Xu Yi looked at Kennard in amazement and frowned, "I thought you would put forward any more constructive suggestions." It may not be difficult for us to exterminate all the Drows, but we cannot afford to do so. Exterminating the clan is a very serious impact on anyone's reputation, not to mention that we are a chamber of commerce that pays great attention to reputation. ”
"No, no, no, Lord, you misunderstood. When I say exterminate the Dero, I don't mean physically, but spiritually. ”
"Mentally eliminated?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard in confusion. "How?"
"The fundamental reason why the Dro people are so cohesive and xenophobic is that almost all the Dros people will live in the kingdom of the Dro all their lives and never go anywhere else. If we can spread them apart, the cohesion between them will naturally weaken. If we increase the proportion of the inner and outer tribes of the Dro kingdom, then over time, there will be fewer and fewer Dro people in the Dro kingdom, and these problems will no longer exist. ”
Xu Yi looked at Kennard, who was talking like a river of words and spittle, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
He must admit that Kennard's ideas were creative, but practically nil.
There have been countless similar cases on Earth that want to divide a people and disintegrate it from within, but each time it has to pay a terrible price, and the end result is always a mess.
Although Xu Yi didn't dare to say that he knew all about these human races on the Sainz continent, it was almost impossible to rely on the method proposed by Kennard to solve the problem of the Dro people.
Of course, he didn't directly say his judgment, but after thinking for a while, he nodded to Kennard and said, "You can go and try this idea." But I must warn you that it takes a lot of effort and a long time, are you sure you want to do it?"
Kennard's eyes rolled and he didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Then I will grow up." There is also a much simpler way. It is to directly destroy the kingdom of the Dro. What do you think of bringing the Dro Kingdom under the name of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi looked at the expectant light in Kennard's eyes and was silent.
It wasn't the first time he'd heard it.
During this period of time, many high-level officials within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mentioned this suggestion when discussing the riot in the Dero Kingdom with Xu Yi, and even Camilla Magister once said that "it is better to let this country disappear directly".
Admittedly, this proposal is very feasible and tempting.
For the people of Sainz, it is not uncommon for countries to fight each other, and even eventually lead to the destruction of the country.
The two great empires of today were in the process of expansion hundreds of years ago. But it wiped out countless small countries.
The tradition on the Sainz continent is that the strong is king, and if you are killed by a powerful enemy, it can only be regarded as your lack of ability, and you can't complain about others.
Therefore, if you directly send troops to destroy a country on the continent of Sainz, you will not suffer endless public opinion accusations and social pressure as on the earth, but will only make others more awe of your strength.
In such an atmosphere, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only a chamber of commerce, it cannot be regarded as a country, but as long as it has the ability to destroy the Dero Kingdom. The people on the continent of Sainz will not have half a word of nonsense.
What's more, if we calculate the influence of public opinion, we can now influence the newspapers that tend to public opinion and the most effective magic illusion projection device. But most of them are directly or indirectly controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
Even Xu Yi himself had seriously considered this suggestion, because it was really the simplest and crudest solution.
However, there is one problem that is difficult to solve, so that Xu Yi can't really use this plan.
As I said before, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, not a country.
The biggest difference between the Chamber of Commerce and the state is that the Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for its own operation and management, and does not need to pay attention to other aspects.
Although the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now countless times larger than before, the total number of employees under its name is even close to 200,000, and the branches are located in almost all countries on the entire continent.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still only responsible for matters related to the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.
Compared with the economy, people's livelihood, politics, land, security, etc., which a country needs to design and manage, the time that the chamber of commerce needs to consider is undoubtedly much simpler.
Even in the case of the Duchy of Stantin, which can be regarded as the smallest group on the continent of Sainz, the matters that the council needs to deal with are intricate and extremely complex.
With the resources that Xu Yi now has at his disposal, it is still insufficient to fully develop a new flying chamber of commerce, let alone completely control an entire country.
And Xu is also very self-aware.
It was already a bit reluctant to let him run a chamber of commerce, so much so that now he handed over a lot of specific management matters to Kennard's subordinates, and if he was allowed to become a head of state and run an entire country, then he would be thankful that he would not become a dumb king.
Besides, he had no interest in it.
As a mechanical engineer who has loved mechanical research since he was a child and has devoted his life to it, his greatest interest is to study machinery.
After crossing over to this continent, his dream is to perfectly combine magic, which does not exist on earth, with machinery, to create a complete magical industrial system that belongs to this continent.
The reason why he will vigorously develop military magic machinery is just to back him up to realize this dream.
It is not difficult for the powerful Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to destroy the Dero Kingdom, but what to do with it after destroying the Dero Kingdom is the biggest problem.
All kinds of questions flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and then he shook his head at Kennard and said, "It's too troublesome to directly destroy the Dro Kingdom. If you are willing to put in a lot of effort and patience, then I approve you to use the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to a limited extent to implement your first idea. ”
Kennard immediately laughed.
"Elder, as I expected, you will still choose this way. ”
Xu Yi smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence. (To be continued......)
