Chapter 1387: Food crisis

The influx of a large number of armored warfare brought a whole change to the whole situation.
For some orc soldiers with relatively normal body types, the threat of war elephants is still insignificant.
However, the orc army is not vegetarian, especially in the number of large units, they are really not afraid of who!
Looking at all the way, rushing into the battlefield of the main battlefield, the elephant artillery on the side of the orc army, they also turned into melee at this moment, began to cut into the battlefield.
Hundreds of elephant-like clumps were terrifying, and the sense of oppression that came out was swept across the audience in an instant, and it was easily overwhelmed by the competition of large-scale units.
There is no doubt that Raymond Sossi’s orc army is definitely stronger than the opposite big eater in terms of offensive power.
If there is only such a big cannibal player on the opposite side, then he estimates that he can beat back in minutes.
However, the situation at the moment makes him feel very annoyed that there is a Daqin in the north of this battlefield.
At the same time, the Francis and Fusang's army are gradually approaching this battlefield, so that he does not dare to take his troops out of his territory.
The number of disadvantages, which led to Raymond Sossi in many times, will be very passive.
When the troops are concentrated on this side, the other three sides can only bury the mines wildly to intercept the other players.
Fortunately, other foreign players do not have the means to effectively remove landmines. They can successfully intercept their offensives. In the face of such dense minefields, it may take quite a long time to clear them.
Now turn the perspective to Robert Smith.
The situation on his side is similar. As a defensive party, they have advantages. For example, the transportation of troops and materials will be far faster than the offensive side.
And every time the force is mobilized, it takes a long journey, and the advantage of the defensive side is that the efficiency of the defensive side is high enough in the territory of the offensive side.
However, for the current situation, Robert Smith is not optimistic.
"The Great Emperor, now in the empire, can collect the food, we have all collected it, but according to this situation, up to June this year, inside the empire, I am afraid there will be a famine..."
Having said that, the official standing below can't help but look bitter, then open again...
"And this time, the scale is probably too small. Before the autumn harvest, I am afraid that millions of people will starve to death."
Robert Smith, who heard this, couldn't help but feel his facial muscles.
The empire, which was not optimistic in terms of grain output, was affected by the war in the past two years, making food production decreasing year by year.
At the same time, he mobilized a large number of young and middle-aged people to move from the army, and even to the inside of his empire, the productivity of some industries began to decline.
This terrible situation made Robert Smith have to control all the food in his hands.
This approach, on the one hand, is naturally to provide stable food resources to its own army, and on the other hand, to control the famine.
Don't be surprised, if you let the people buy their own food, then considering various factors, some people may be able to buy a lot, but some people can't even buy them.
This situation is undoubtedly not conducive to the internal stability of the empire.
Therefore, under this situation, Robert Smith also took the shackles and directly collected all the food that could be collected. Then they were uniformly distributed by their empire every week. Everyone had a bowl of water, so that To the greatest extent possible, we can ensure that each and every person can get a bite to eat more or less.
It doesn't happen that kind of ‘supporting death, starving starving death’.
I have to say that Robert Smith’s method is troublesome, but according to the current situation, he does not have a choice.
However, in this state, according to the detailed calculations of several departments under his command, this year's food is still not enough. According to this situation, among them, I am afraid there are a large number of people who cannot support this autumn harvest.

How bad is it, still worse?

When asked this, the tone of Robert Smith can be said to be tough.
In this regard, the minister below, apparently confirmed the results long ago, so in the face of this problem, just listen to him slowly open...

Returning to the Great Emperor, in order to maintain the average daily food intake of every ordinary people, and to support the autumn harvest, we need at least 500,000 tons of food.

The heavy numbers slammed into his heart, and Robert Smith squandered a few times, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
At least 500,000 tons of food is needed? Not to mention that it is 500,000 tons. According to the current situation of the empire, he can't even squeeze out 10,000 tons of grain.
After a long silence, his slightly hoarse voice rang slowly.
"You must step back."
"Yes, Wei Chen retire."
The minister hurriedly left the palace. Outside, his own car had already waited there.
When the driver saw him, he quickly got off the bus and reached for the briefcase in the hands of the minister.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the minister’s hand suddenly broke.
"you are?"
"Master, my name is Kevin. It is Hank's cousin. My cousin is sick today, so I will drive for him for the time being."
"Kevin..."
The name was whispered softly in the mouth. For this name, the minister was really a bit impressed. His driver Hank seemed to have a cousin named Kevin.
However, in retrospect, the Minister finally did not hand over his briefcase to Kevin.
After getting on the bus, the car slowly started and went to the minister's house in an orderly manner.
On this road, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with it.
Go back to the mansion~EbookFREE.me~ I watched the old butler who came out to meet him. The minister walked toward the house and asked casually...
"Hanke is he sick today?"
"Yes, Master, Hank had a high fever last night, so he found his cousin Kevin to drive for him."
"is it."
The minister who got a clear answer nodded casually and quickly left the little episode behind him, then walked all the way to his study and signaled the old butler to help him cook a pot of coffee.
Next, he is obviously busy.
At the same time, on the other side, Kevin, who stopped the car without delay, had a meaningful smile on his face. Of course, this hidden smile quickly converges when he gets off the bus. In a flash, he resumed his honest and honest appearance...
