Chapter 661: 16. In the name of God (6)

;
Peter Arkadyevich Stolypin once again leaned his hand toward his waist, his anger was growing a little bit, the interior minister’s finger had been put on his wand, and as long as one second, the attack would put The abominable guy in front of him broke into pieces. But like the previous four times, when the tight muscles touched the ivory carved gold handle that was not attached to the wand, the right hand was helplessly put back in place again.
It is not that the magical skills have regressed. According to human standards, the Minister of the Interior is a six-level magician, and it is impossible to make such a basic mistake. Nor was it because a ppk pistol with a bullet loaded in the sleeve of the negotiating opponent, two grenades in his waist, the fuse-sola ring and his left ring finger connected together-he didn't know about it. It's just based on the simple fact that "If the other party is killed, the Principality can't even borrow a Cape", he has to endure, even condescend, and come to the company's branch in St. Petersburg personally-a building because of its uniqueness The regular pentagon structure was named the "Pentagon", a tasteless building, and negotiated with a special consortium representative.
"The impulse is the devil."
After repeating this sentence for the 8th time, after readjusting his emotions, Storey looked at his negotiating opponents indifferently, and soon began to accumulate a little bit again.
As a Principality of the Principality, and still one of the very few talented and dedicated elites, Stolypin’s cultivation has always been good, he can control his emotions well during the negotiation process, and always be courteous in the face of outsiders Gesture. Many people who dealt with him even inadvertently forgot that the Minister of the Interior had spread the gallows throughout the Principality when suppressing the rebellion, and won the nickname "Stolypin's tie" for the noose.
But now he has been on the verge of losing control many times. Almost took out the white gloves and threw it out, and then used the traditional method of the principality to solve the problem.
Walter Friedrich Schulenburg is the most direct cause of this disorder. The negotiator of the ve company is a typical and a cunning fox. In the more than ten days of negotiations, he has always been concerned about him, otherwise he is preparing for the banquet salon, teasing the ladies, touching cat or rabbit women The maid's buttocks are discharged from time to time...for the important loan negotiations, nothing is said.
Hell! Could it be that for this bastard, there is nothing more serious than a pretty woman? Why no woman shows a hatchet. Cut him into pieces? !
If it is in peacetime, Stolypin does not care about this absurd move, but now he keeps cursing this behavior.
This is a waste of his precious time in the Principality!
Although the defensive battles of the Riga fortress are good, and the entire front has temporarily calmed down at this stage, everyone knows that this is only temporary. According to past experience, mankind will soon organize more troops to retaliate, relying on a strong fortress system and effective actions to defend the army. The fort can continue to be maintained, the ammunition for grain storage is also sufficient, and the reinforcements and supplies are constantly being pushed towards the fortress. But everyone knows that there is no city that will never fall in this world, let alone an inexhaustible source of troops.
Sounds incredible, in people's impression. The Principality should be the least troubled country for the source of troops. The inexhaustible gray animals shouted "Ula", and the scene of the brave charge of fearless swords, arrows and arrows was the lingering nightmare of every human warrior who fought against the public.
They shouldn't and can't worry about the source of soldiers.
However, the heavy ministers group, including the elder Sergey Yurievich Witt, knew very well that the issue of military sources would soon start torturing the country.
As we all know, the siege has always been a long and process. In the past history, the attacking side has not been able to win a siege on a city for 16 years. It is the ability of the warring parties to replenish personnel and supplies that ultimately determines the victory or defeat of the siege battle-the party without support will be defeated. Now that muskets and artillery are on the battlefield, this big principle is still valid, and even more strongly affects the balance of victory and defeat. Who can sustain the consumption, who can put more guns and ammunition and a sufficient number of qualified soldiers Send it to the front, whoever can win the war.
Unfortunately, the Principality has seemingly endless human resources. But he can neither produce his own guns, and the ability to replenish the lost soldiers is more fragile than ever.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, both objectively and institutionally. In general, there are more problems in the system.
As we all know, the United Principality of Ross is a country composed of many orc nations. The bear race is the majority, but not the absolute majority. They always have doubts about other ethnic groups, and they suspect that they intend to split and independence-this is not unreasonable. The early principality was just a tribal assembly, and it was everyone's thing to commit chaos and betrayal. For potential threats, the bear clan tried various methods. At first, it was a direct genocide. Later, it gave up due to inefficiency and excessive intensification of internal contradictions; then it was changed to use a military recruiting system, using wine, faith, and generous treatment. Use rhetoric to deceive, or "use rope to recruit troops" to drive members of other ethnic groups to serve as soldiers, and then give them second-rate or even third-rate weapons to fight against the human army, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the internal and external situations.
Based on this traditional mentality, when the new army was formed, all the recruited soldiers were bears. The meaning of guarding against other ethnic groups is self-evident.
Politically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this approach, but for the current war, this is an outright military disaster.
Due to the lag in the establishment of a full firearms force, the new army cannot compare with the counterparts of the human camp in terms of quantity and quality. By relying on the fortress system, they can obtain a certain degree of advantage, but loss is inevitable, as more hairless The loss of monkeys and artillery guns will continue to rise. In order to make up for the loss, the Principality must send more gray animals that can operate muskets to the front to fill the holes, but these recruits have received less training time than those who died, and their combat effectiveness is definitely worse, and they survive on the battlefield. The time is also shorter, so more rookies with poorer combat effectiveness are pulled up to fill new holes. The young bears continue to disappear in this bottomless pit. The strength gap between other groups and the bears is gradually narrowing. ...
A vicious circle is not only of the principality, but also of the entire bear family.
What's more terrible is that even savvy people like Witt and Stolypin see the problem, they lack effective means of solving the problem-enough money.
It is not difficult to loosen the restrictions on the recruitment of new troops. Although there are risks, traditionally, when the country is alive or dead, it is traditional to make way for military needs. Once restricted, within a short period of time, the Principality can have a large army that can overwhelm the quality advantages of the human army, and send all hairless monkeys to the mother goddess.
Limiting the ban and the number of soldiers are not a problem, but where can we get so many guns to equip this army? Can't you let everyone continue to use cold weapons to give others heads?
Of course, I bought it from v.e company with real gold and silver. Besides the "qun　" merchant, who else can there be?
Ceres’s dwarf craftsmen used to imitate muskets, but the quality, performance, and versatility of the parts were worse than that of v.e. They consumed more time, materials, and capital, and produced less. As long as it is not in desperation, no army will go to install these expensive cottage goods. Moreover, due to the grievances and grievances with the orcs, the dwarves will not export weapons to the Principality, let alone the human country.
The Principality itself did not think of establishing its own military production system, but once the time was short, unlike the human country, it was not like a human country that could accumulate raw capital for industrialization by plundering overseas colonies. In the end, all the technology is in the hands of v.e.
For merchants, nothing can not be sold, provided the price is sufficient, and the current principality is obviously impossible to provide a heart-warming quotation, allowing the company to hand over the cash cow...
As a result, the arms of the Principality can only be provided by V.e. V.e is also willing to export weapons, but the problem has returned to the point-lack of money.
Firearms and artillery can burn more money than cold weapons. The ammunition consumed by the Riga fort defense warfare has already drowned Stolypin. Expansion of the army and the long-term consumption of the funds needed for the war. Expenditure to transport personnel and materials to the front line... The bureaucrats in the principality of the Principality are almost driven to madness by numbers, because there are some who have fallen heart disease, some who commit suicide, and those who are insane. , Not too far away.
In this way, the principality will spend every copper plate in its pocket for up to one year. If the fight continues, the principality will be completely bankrupt and the whole country will collapse.
The only way to solve the problem is to borrow money from the v.e company to survive the crisis, but Li Lin's money is so easy to borrow? The profiteer is very aware of the economic situation of the Principality, and will definitely take advantage of the fire and put forward very harsh conditions, but the Principality cannot refuse. Eventually, even if the Principality wins, it will become a slave of debt.
The performance of Schulenburg in the past few days proves that this kind of worry is not groundless~EbookFREE.me~ In the past week, the delegates deliberately avoided the loan or credit attitude and made it clear that they planned to sell the price and wait for the Principality to propose it. Loan requirements, so as to seize the initiative to negotiate, and slaughter hard.
Damn profiteers!
Once again condemning the opponent in his stomach, Stolypin intends to say something to break the suffocating impasse in front of him, and at this moment, Schulenburg laughed.
"Dear Honorable Earl, our company has always spared no effort to support the cause of the Principality. We cherish the brotherly friendship with the Principality..."
Schulenburg said endlessly, reviewing history and "friendship formed by blood". He said it was wonderful and could almost be used as promotional material. Stolypin just looked at each other in silence, saying nothing until Schulenburg said that.
"...Therefore, in view of the change in form, the President hopes to develop a deeper cooperation with the Principality."
The eyes of the Minister of the Interior brightened. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please read it for mobile users.)
