Volume II, Chapter 99
The people of the thirty-six tribes are no more than ordinary refugees, needless to say, they have their own unique traditions, their own living habits, plus they are from the dividing line between gods and demons, and they have no religious beliefs in the general sense. Everyone thinks that they are not just a burden, they are simply a big trouble.
In the past few days since entering the Dark Province, there have been many brawls caused by the thirty-six tribesmen, although they are all three or two people throwing fists, but this is also a noteworthy sign. This further complicates the situation by the fact that there is a clear gap between them and the indigenous inhabitants of our province.
One of the most terrible is the mentality.
The original inhabitants of the Dark Province, including the Shui tribe who are gradually beginning to migrate inward, have a sense of superiority in the face of these alien tribes, because they are my early lords, and they are more advanced in other ways.
This sense of superiority is inadvertently manifested everywhere, and because of the harsh environment that has always been, the people of the Thirty-six Tribes can easily regard this self-superiority of others as an insult to themselves, and the reason why I patted Jiadnan's chest is naturally not very happy in their hearts......
For this reason, Carlos and Jack have been busy all this time.
"Since everyone is silent......," I folded my hands and walked over to the seats of the alien leaders, "I'll introduce you to one more person, little Gardna!"
"Master Cohen. Little Gardnan stood up from the back row: "I'm here." β
"Come to the front and tell you about your tribe. I exclaimed, "This is the chief of the thirty-six tribes, and his name is Little Gardnam." β
"Yes, sir. Little Gardnan walked into the middle of the room.
"Thirty-six tribes are following Cohen. The total number of people who came to the Dark Province was more than 1,638,000. Little Gardnan cleared his throat. It seems that he is still a little unsuitable for such an occasion: "Speaking of only thirty-six tribes. It can be subdivided into hundreds of villages. Each village is a relatively independent whole, and the members refuse to separate, so it is difficult to settle. β
"Excuse me little Gardnan. An interior official stood up: "What is the ethnic composition of the thirty-six tribes? Is it really as complicated as the rumors?"
"I can sue everybody. When little Gardnan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The real situation is more complicated than everyone imagined, the human races of the thirty-six tribes include almost all the races in the Divine Alliance and the Demon Alliance. β
No one spoke, and everyone began to gasp, and even the brows of the leaders of the alien races were furrowed. There are all kinds of ethnic groups, and they are also resettled according to villages. How can a province be so big, and how should inter-ethnic disputes be dealt with in the future?
It seems that I have to get the head of the house affairs to come forward.
"Fillen's Interior Overseer. I turned around and asked Filin, "What do you think?" β
"Okay, I've thought about it. Fei Lin stood up and slowly walked to the middle of the venue: "Our three internal affairs supervisors have discussed many times in the past few days, and we have also exchanged opinions with the directors of the internal affairs department. β
"Any conclusions?" I asked.
"With the current land situation in this province, it is unrealistic to set aside a single piece of land to house the thirty-six tribes. Fei Lin said in a very affirmative tone: "In addition to the alien settlements, with the Dark City as the center, there are fifty-four small and medium-sized cities in the entire province, and there are four hundred and sixty-four towns and eight thousand three hundred and seventy-one villages below. The distribution of land has already been completed. The governor's lords had been cultivating their land for several seasons, and now they were asked to give it up. There is absolutely no such possibility. β
"That's true. I nodded in agreement: "If we let the civilians give up their land and houses, we will collapse before the rebels attack." β
"But on the other hand, both His Majesty and the Governor have decreed that the thirty-six tribes must be properly settled, so our opinion is that the thirty-six tribes can only be dispersed. "This is a decision we made after taking into account all the circumstances, and although it is a compromise, we can only go so far. β
It's really worthy of Firin, she knows my thoughts too well, how can she let the tribe live together?
"Little Gardnan, you have also heard that, this is the situation in the province at the moment. I said to little Gardnam: "I have promised Gardnam the future of the clan members, and everyone is doing their best, so from the perspective of taking into account the overall situation, should the thirty-six tribes also share a little for me?"
"Master Cohen, I picked it up with your own hands, and I will definitely carry out your words. "But I am also the spokesman of the thirty-six tribes, and I must convey their wishes to you." β
"I understand. I nodded, "What else do they want?"
Little Gardnan hesitated for a moment, but did not answer me immediately, and by looking at his expression, I knew that the thirty-six chiefs had given him another problem.
"Okay! We'll talk about it privately after the meeting is over. I graciously said, "You are still guests, you can gather thirty-six leaders after the meeting, and say that I will invite them to dinner." β
"Yes, sir. Little Gardnan said gratefully: "As for the problem of scattered resettlement, in fact, I also understand it very well, and I believe that the Governor has a proper arrangement. β
I waved my hand for little Gardnam to return to his seat.
"It seems that this problem lies with the chiefs of the tribes, and their knots are resolved by me, the governor. I smiled and said, "I'll talk to them in detail after the meeting." However, this issue cannot wait, since the internal affairs superintendent has made a decision, the internal affairs department will immediately agree on the steps!"
Upon hearing my order, the directors of the Interior Office immediately understood it and immediately expressed their opinions. Starting with education, public health, farming, ethnicity, and other aspects, more than 1.6 million people were distributed to various towns and cities in the province.
"Little Gardnan. I finally said: "Military affairs and government affairs must be separated, and you don't have to contact Carlos for future affairs. And now. You can report something directly to Interior Superintendent Firin. I will ask someone to prepare a room for you in the Department of Internal Affairs. β
"Yes, Lord Cohen. Little Gardnan nodded and said, "I understand that." β
"That's good. With this issue over, we now turn to the replenishment of soldiers. I turned around and said in a loud voice, "The general officials of the Interior Department and the heads of the towns can leave." β
A large number of middle-ranking officials immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting, and now only the internal affairs superintendent, the highest-ranking military officers, and the heads of ministries and departments were left in the meeting.
Of course, the alien leaders are still there, and they have control over my special troops.
"Everyone knows, in this expedition. Our army can be said to have survived, and the army paid a heavy price. I said sadly: "Especially the special troops, our winged troops, our elven troops, they did their best for our victory, bloodied and sweated. β
"Your Excellency the Governor, our people are never afraid of sacrifice, as long as it is worthwhile. Wen's father immediately stood up and said, "You don't need to say it, we can rest assured that the clansmen will be handed over to you!"
"Yes! Governor Cohen. We've already discussed it with a few of our alien races. Wadi's father also stood up: "If you want to fight, the source of troops is not a problem, we will give as much as you want! You didn't bring a single dwarven warrior with you in the last battle." You don't look down on us, do you?"
"There is no such thing!" Facing these two elders who love to lift the bar, I waved my hand again and again: "Although I didn't bring a dwarf warrior, what we wore and held in our hands were all equipment from the dwarf clan, these things are the warriors' most trusted friends, how can we say that the dwarf clan has no contribution!"
"You're right, but this time I have a request in addition to equipment. β
"Speak, please. β
"Ever since you last took the Sandmen on an expedition, there's an old boy who has been laughing at me. Wadi's father glared and blew his beard: "This time, as many sand warriors as you bring, you will bring as many dwarven warriors as you want, we dwarves are known for their bravery, and we can't let people see our jokes!"
"Don't get excited, sit down. I said with a smile on my face, "Of course, it's good that the dwarven warriors want to join the army, but there is one thing that I, as a junior, need to make clear first. β
"You say!"
"Who to take and who not to take on the expedition is not for me to decide alone. I said, "This is up to the General Staff to decide on the basis of the actual purpose of the operation." I can't take the sandmen to the sea battles, and the dwarves to the desert, can I?"
"All right, as long as you say the Governor. Wadi's father touched his beard: "Once you have made a decision, just send me a letter." β
"Yes, Lord Governor. The orc leader next to him also said, "In the face of battle, we will never back down. β
"You can say that, it really solves a big problem for me. I said, "The conscription order will come to you soon, and I am confident that you will provide enough troops for the training grounds." β
Next, it was necessary to decide on the location of each legion, the supply of military rations, the order of redressing, etc., although I was very annoyed, but I had to carefully discuss each item with the relevant personnel until the problem was finally resolved. If it weren't for the three considerate internal affairs overseers who helped me find a way, I would have kicked things and cursed people a long time ago.
By the end of the last item of the meeting, the sky was already full of stars, and apart from the three internal affairs overseers, only a few high-ranking military officers remained.
"This meeting is over now......" I stretched out and walked among the officers: "Today's meeting, there is not much to talk about military matters, and we have to find another time to discuss, so do you know that I want everyone to participate in this meeting?"
"Sir, I don't know about the rest. Marfa moved her body: "But my body is stiff. β
"Hehe, you confess. I patted him on the shoulder: "Don't look at you wearing a military uniform, you are a half-military and half-political liaison officer, how can you be sloppy?"
"I think that's why the chief called us to this meeting. Carlos said, "It should be to let us know about the difficulties of domestic affairs." β
"That's right!" I nodded in agreement.
"But boss, we are the ones who lead the troops!" Seeing that there were no outsiders around, and the meeting was over, Helt changed his name: "You want us to participate in the discussion of internal affairs and listen to the complaints of the internal affairs officials...... We can't do anything about it, so we can only do it in our hearts!"
"yes, boss. Mo Ya also said: "Next time, let the General Staff Officer come alone!"
"Why me?" said Carlos, snorting.
"I don't think it's my fault, you still have a lot to learn!" I smiled, "Wen Sili's internal affairs superintendent is now in charge of provincial education, how about she explain it to everyone?" Come here. You've got students again. β
Next to her, Winsley walked over with a smile.
"Tell me about it. I took Winsley's hand, "lest they not understand." β
"That's right. Cohen had consulted with us before the meeting. Wen Sili spoke, her tone was as gentle as a breeze flowing through her: "The military government is a family, the government provides all kinds of convenience and guarantee for the military, and the military is a powerful means to maintain the government. β
Take, for example, the war that is about to break out. Filene also took her sister over and took over: "Why did Lu Man launch a mutiny? It was because he knew that it was impossible for him to overthrow His Majesty Kremer in politics." And the military provided him with this initiative. But he failed to do anything to Cohen, and instead allowed Cohen to successfully rescue His Majesty Fischet, and the result of such a battle made Lu Man fall into passivity in politics. β
"So, we can't just lead troops to fight like before. I said, "You know, you are all high-ranking commanders, and you should pay attention to the combination of politics in military operations." β
"Bond?" Moya scratched his head.
"Yes, why is our empire turned upside down, and the temple and the Light Protoss have not reacted at all?" I looked at the people around me, lowered my voice and said, "You know, in this matter. The cardinal priests of the temple were also involved, and this was the political transaction. Luman and the Cardinal Priests colluded with each other. The use of various means has created a time gap, and during this time, the Bright God Clan will not have any reaction, and this is their advantage in politics. β
"I see. Jack nodded.
"This battle, in the final analysis, is still a political struggle, because the Bright Protoss has not yet expressed its attitude, and Lu Man wants to seize the time to eliminate His Majesty Fichette and plug the mouth of the Protoss with a fait accompli, so his attack must be crazy!" I continued: "And our purpose is to protect His Majesty Fischet, to strike at Lu Man with the military force in our hands, and to win greater political initiative for His Majesty Fischet." β
"It's true that the Bright Protoss didn't show an attitude, which is rare. Carlos said, "So how will things go?"
"If we win, we will eliminate the time gap created by Lu Man, and as the war continues, the mouths of the people on the entire continent will not be blocked by the temple. I beckoned the officers to squat down, their heads squeezed: "At that time, the Bright Protoss will have to come out to clean up the scene, although Lu Man and the red-clothed priests of the temple still have such and such means, but under our strong political and military superiority, the Bright Protoss has to make a ruling in favor of our side and in favor of His Majesty Fichette." β
"And how much military superiority do we need to maintain?" Karos asked, "what step do we have to take to ensure political superiority?"
"It depends on what His Majesty Fischette says. I touched my chin: "If His Majesty Fischette wants to take down Lu Man in one go, those of us who are ministers must do our best to kill all the way to Lu Man's bedroom and take him out." β
"But judging by the wisdom of His Majesty Fischette, he will not ask us to do so. Firin, who was standing beside her, said, "After all, His Majesty Fischette is so merciful, how can he not cherish the soldiers?"
"yes! It's a lot of money to train a soldier. "Judging from today's meeting, it is difficult for our provincial resources to support us in the fight around. β
"So, the military difficulties can be alleviated by guΓ² zhengzhΓ¬, as long as we fight the first few battles and hurt the enemy, they will shrink their hands and feet. I said, "At this time, the governors who are watching will fall to our side, and your majesty's strength will increase, and even if these governors do not send troops to war, they will have to give something, right?" β
"The second. I continued: "As time goes by, the Bright Protoss has to speak, and everyone knows that Lu Man is not the orthodox of the Empire, how dare the Divine Temple say it? The Protoss has come forward, and the armies of other countries who helped Lu Man rebel have not smeared oil on the soles of their feet? As soon as they left, Lu Man's strength was weakened, and this was the second victory we achieved with our political power. β
"I see. Moya said, "So we must hold on to Luman's first attack, and at all costs!"
Only by playing with momentum can we enter the political battle more quickly, and the army's losses will naturally be small. I said happily: "If you hesitate and the battle drags on, we will have to start a tug-of-war with Ruman, and then we will be miserable." β
"Yes! If that's the case, don't say it's a political advantage. "We still have to pray for our lives," Helter said. β
"As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain. I smiled coldly: "In the first round of battle, we can't hide it, we have to show the blade in our hands thoroughly, and give them a ruthless blow!"
"And then it's time to get into the process you just said, Boss. Helter's eyes sparkled: "Let that bastard of Luman not die well!"
"How Lu Man dies, this has to be decided by His Majesty. I said, "We'll just fight, but we can clean up the mess that runs behind his ass......
"All right! Fei Lin said, "It's getting late, let's go back to dinner!"
"Yes, yes, let's go back to dinner. Seeing that everyone understood my intentions, I also stood up: "Eat...... What time is it? Damn, the leaders of the thirty-six tribes are still waiting for me!"
"Do you remember this?" said with a smile, "When it comes to important things, forget about this and that, depending on your memory." β
"Then let's go!" I said, "they may all be hungry." β
"Don't be in such a hurry, we don't mean to snub them. Philene followed my footsteps: "The lights on the venue can be seen in every corner of the city, as Governor Cohen, your subordinates, how can you not even have this awareness?"
"That's right. I slowed down: "Besides, these guys also have selfish intentions, and they are not good things. β
"Tell me more!" Kelly also came to make fun: "Just now, there was a large group of people who sat on the ground and looked sneaky, like thieves robbing houses. β
"It's not a little thief, it's a big thief, and Young Master Ben is still a thief. I put my mouth in Kelly's ear and said, "And what about you, ma'am...... You're a thief. β
"Ahh
"What?"
"Husband kisses me secretly!"
"Normal. (To be continued......)
