Chapter 45: Ready to Move

Unscrupulous means are not heroes, and they are true heroes who do not change their original intentions. Even if he didn't succeed in taking the position this time, Commander Cao was quickly relieved, as a man, it can't always be smooth sailing, there will always be a period of suffering, and then you find that after suffering for a while, there will be a while. If it didn't work out this time, it will definitely succeed next time, this is the concept of Head Cao. If the performance in the Imperial City of Sri Lanka was soy sauce at the beginning, then this time such an embarrassing position is simply the general distributor of soy sauce on the Pan American continent.

Yes, Commander Cao is already trying to find a way to make some movement again, and while there is not much time left before the start of the war, Commander Cao has to do this. As for right or wrong, Head Cao didn't bother to think about it, children distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons. What if you make a big mistake? Head Cao felt that he was completely capable of accepting any consequences. In his words, the knife that could kill him has not yet been produced, and no matter how serious the consequences are, can they be more serious than losing their heads?

Such a persistent head Cao is just a concept to implement. He struggled all the way, not to change the world, but just to prevent the world from changing him. If you want not to be changed, you have to have your own confidence. I don't know why, Captain Cao always felt that this southern expedition was a very rare and good opportunity, and someone seemed to be calling him in the dark. This thing's sixth sense has always been very accurate, so the depths of his eyes have been flashing green recently, and he doesn't have any good intentions at first glance.

Scarlett couldn't cry or laugh at his state, this is purely disease-free**, should she be looking for Lang Zhong all over the street with? As Heinrich said, if you are not contributing to the empire in any position, why hold on to it?

"Woman's opinion! Anyone with a little brain knows that no matter what the way of the world, war money is the greatest thing. Don't think that the Southern Barbarians are poor. Those mountain village men are holding countless souvenirs!" For Scarlett's calmness, Captain Cao disdainfully gave an evaluation, and he directly defined the attitude of Senior Sister Cheap as a negative and depraved performance. Long before leaving, Captain Cao took the time to do his homework. His homework was to study the customs and customs of the southern barbarians, as well as the local specialties of various places. It is all right to say that.

What Captain Cao said is not wrong at all, many people's understanding of the Southern Barbarians is that they have not yet been educated as intelligent races, and the Beamon orcs are already an uncivilized intelligent race in the eyes of humans, not to mention the Southern Barbarians, they are completely representatives of barbarism and vulgarity. In fact, this is not the case, and the southern barbarians do not have any historical records to verify, which is the main reason why they are prejudiced. However, Captain Cao was careful and painstaking, and even Torauer's people found a lot of travelogues of the sages who were relatively old. Even the territory of the southern barbarians. There used to be a sage who traveled to Beamon. Through these, we can truly understand the barbarians in the south. Since you have to fight with them, you don't even know before the war, then you are not a qualified commander, and Commander Cao not only saw it, but also looked at it over and over again.

In the end, it was concluded that the southern barbarians also had their own cultural heritage, but it was not easy for outsiders to understand. And the territory of the southern barbarians. There are also countless rare materials that can't be found outside. What makes Captain Cao nervous is that they don't have any means to develop and utilize it. Other words. They have been being misers, guarding mountains of gold and silver, but they can't convert them into actual benefits. Ideologically, they didn't regard it as a treasure to live in, and in terms of production technology, they didn't have the strength to use Kafa. That's how ridiculous it is.

The most impressive part of Captain Cao's passage is a small story in the travels of the sages, that is, a barbarian tribe settled next to an open-pit refined iron mine, but because the barbarians were not very cold to metal by nature and were accustomed to using primitive stone tools, they were not interested in this super-large open-pit refined iron ore at all. This treasure, which was even enough to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Empire, was finally reduced to a dung pit for this barbarian tribe to collectively release physiological garbage. This is such a ridiculous story, but it deeply touched the head of Cao, who was thinking about making a fortune.

Commander Cao has been thinking about the motive of the empire for launching this southern expedition, and after thinking about it, Commander Cao also feels very strange. Because there are only a handful of times in the history of the Beamon Empire that have taken the initiative to launch wars against the Nanban, and every time it is counted, it ends with heavy losses, and those mountain and wild villagers are not so easy to deal with. This time the Southern Expedition was even more strange, the head of the Cao Regiment was very concerned about current affairs, but he never received a single word of news, and the horn of the Southern Expedition sounded inexplicably.

Is this because the raiders are stationed in exile too remote? Absolutely not. Prince Raul is the natural eyeliner of Captain Cao in the economic, political and cultural center of the empire, and Raul will pass on the news to his cheap big brother as soon as possible, and Raul has always been very sensible in this regard. In Stuttgart, the main city of the Eastern Province, there is also a mentor from Captain Cao, and Captain Cao also has a good reputation in Stuttgart because of the star-making movement of the previous raiding group, and there is also no news to pass on. This can only show that the southern expedition was a very hasty decision. No one knows who the high-level imperial power who launched the southern expedition is, but from the analysis of these details, the people who launched this southern expedition also have some ulterior motives.

This ulterior purpose, in the eyes of Head Cao, is very intriguing. Since Commander Cao has the means to learn so many secrets about the barbarians in the south and the 100,000 Lianshan in the south, it makes no sense that the high-level people of the empire don't know, and Captain Cao has never thought that the whole world is a smart person. Those high-level people in power, who didn't have a large number of dog-headed military advisors? Brainstorming, they knew this information, and they definitely knew this information much earlier than Commander Cao.

Was the southern expedition just to solve the worries of the future once and for all? Only a fool would think so. The plague of the southern barbarians has plagued the empire for so many years, and if it was really so easy to solve it at once, it would not have allowed this contradiction to last for hundreds of years. The barbarians in the south are weeds, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. In this era of cold weapons, it is not easy to exterminate them, unless all the magicians above the holy level in the human world are summoned, and then all the 100,000 mountains are brushed over and over again with forbidden spells.

Therefore, what Commander Cao finally figured out was that the power of the empire was also interested in the countless natural resources possessed by the southern barbarians. The sudden start of a big project like the Southern Expedition is the meaning of making a fortune in a muffled voice. It is impossible to kill all the barbarians in the south, but it is very possible to seize a little of the treasure trove of resources they are sitting on. No matter what kind of power system you have, as long as you get a deposit, you can make a lot of money.

The laws of the empire also stipulate that those who find strategic resources for the expansion of the empire will have seventy percent of the development rights. On the surface, everyone seems to have equal opportunities, but in reality it is not. Because such a law exists, there can never be equality of opportunity. If Heinrich had not put the combat units of the pro-Rhine faction in a good position, he would definitely not believe that he had killed Commander Cao. Commander Cao wanted to go to the front line so much for this reason. It is absolutely impossible for His Majesty Pedro, who is eloquent and strategic, to turn a blind eye, and as for how he arranged it in private, this Captain Cao doesn't know. What is certain is that the Southern Expedition will never be a stage for the Rhine to flourish.

It doesn't matter if the Exiled Domain is far away from here, if you are lucky enough to get a vein, Captain Cao accounts for sixty percent, and gives the other one to His Majesty Pedro, and let His Majesty Pedro, the big boss, be responsible for mining, and Captain Cao just sits and counts the money, which is also a good deal. And Commander Cao can be sure that no one will refuse this condition.

"Speaking of which, there are only about a thousand of our raiders. It's only you who will settle accounts like this, and you can't get in or out. You're so focused on reaping benefits that you don't have to think about paying?" Scarlett choked speechlessly.

Gail, who is a finance and accounting professional, also feels the same way, and a girl like her who is easily sad can't think about the consequences. For so long with the soldiers of the raiding regiment, each warrior of the raiding regiment is like her brother. At the thought of the inevitable casualties in the war, Gale felt that he could not bear it, and the loss of any one person was incomparably huge.

"Who said that only a large number of people can avoid suffering? I have said many times that our plundering regiment is originally following the route of elite soldiers and strong generals, and the number of people will never be what we are pursuing. As long as I don't throw my brothers into the sea of people of the Southern Barbarians, I believe that the losses can be completely controlled. Although the sparrow is small, it plays with the sky. Although the earthworm is thin, the sun is the earth. Head Cao was full of confidence in this.

Now, the only thing that can be planned by Captain Cao is the so-called "Snow Appreciation Dinner". The snow appreciation dinner is also a party where the high-level leaders of the Southern Expedition gather, and if you want to find an opportunity, of course, there is no more than this event. To say that Commander Cao has not yet received an invitation? This is not a problem at all, Commander Cao is thick-skinned, and he is also a person who has participated in the Heroes' Night Banquet, and Commander Cao has always defined himself as an imperial celebrity and a high-ranking person, so there is no reason not to go to this grand event to join in the fun.
