Chapter 683: 18. The end of the expedition (7)

The elves are very grateful to the prince for his radical actions, and at the same time have not forgotten that the behavior of the prince seems to be to increase the state's control of the territories, but essentially to the consortium.
From the ground, these two areas are bordered by the core base camp of the consortium, Argentola, and in the case of "if something happens", it is possible to launch a sudden attack from the flank. Even if the progress is not smooth, follow these It is easier to solicit and dispatch food in the grain-producing areas. Finally, it is outside the veteran's sphere of influence. Prince Wang will hardly suffer from elbows here, and it can be built to target Afghanistan with less interference. Let Torato pass the base.
It is difficult for the average person to understand that a consortium that has always been pervasive will give up the crowns of Ostoria and St. Eastman in close proximity. In fact, the reasons are very complicated.
The direct reason is Charlemagne's economic policy. Due to the existence of the internal customs line, any attempt to establish an industry in the territory will be hit hard.Even if there is a way to circumvent the restrictions, the nobles and residents of the territory themselves are also against the consortium. Quite a lot of resistance, considering the related costs, the consortium actually gave up its intention to operate the territories.
Another reason that cannot be said is that this is a bait carefully prepared by the consortium for the crown prince.A bait that looks delicious and actually gives him choking to death.
For the modern army, it is impossible to continue combat without a full set of industrial system support. In order to maintain his army, the crown prince must industrialize the territories. But without the support of technology and funds, if you want to turn the two agricultural centers into industry It is not easy to talk about the zone. The only way is to sacrifice the development of agriculture, light industry, and reduce the living standard of the people, which is the path that the Soviet Union has traveled. It is possible to do it. However, everyone knows that the path is difficult to rely on administrative orders and political means. The implementation, the upper and lower territories will definitely try to resist, and the consortium will also connect the relevant stakeholders to oppose it, and it will eventually die without suffocation.
The peaceful way is doomed to fail, so the only choice left to Prince Wang is to rely on bayonet and artillery to carry out his \"modernization reform\".
\"Prince Wang sent all public and potential opponents to prison, and quickly sent his most capable subordinates to the territories. Now the operation of the crown is maintained by the four pillars. The standing army. Sitting Officials. The kneeling priest and the pervasive secret police.\"
Brenhill shook his head while reading, and the liberals of Alfheim always accused the consul of being too arbitrariness, calling him \"dictator\", they really should go to the crown to see what the crown prince did. Weiye\". See what it means to be ""The Only Man Thief\".
After the general Heinau began to exercise military control, the first thing was to issue a pardon order for the crown prince. The content of the first article of the pardon order almost shocked the entire crown collar.
\"... From now on,'a suspicious person who commits a misconduct must report to the army or the police.' and'report relative's actions' has become the sacred legal obligation of all the people in the crown. Anyone must fulfill this obligation, Otherwise, according to military law...\"
Brenhill raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a strange look, as if seeing some rare birds and animals. After a while, she uttered a word.
\"Genius. It’s a waste of talent if he doesn’t do secret agents.\"
\"It seems that His Royal Highness knew how unpopular he and his policies were, and he didn’t waste time turning around.\"
Li Lin's smile did not change at all, and Prince Wang's amazing move did not surprise him at all.
As a young powerist, Crown Prince would never refuse to strengthen the temptation of secret police terror rule. On the day the amnesty was issued, there was an additional fan in the city of Buda named ""National Security Ministry allamvedel\", The "special agency" for short "Afou". This department is under the direct control of the crown prince Peter Gabor, who is surrendered to the crown prince, under the direct leadership of General Hanau. It has three forces under its jurisdiction: political detectives, blue uniforms. The security forces and the "border forces" in green uniforms, the border guards.
Of the three forces, the most elite is the security forces, whose recruitment criteria are almost as strict as the Nazi SS selection criteria of "pure-bred Aryans", in addition to the stringent requirements for physical fitness, they also have to go through Complicated political censorship, only those who are most loyal to Charlemagne and the Crown Prince can enter the security forces, undergo strict military training, and distribute sophisticated weapons.
The responsibility of the border forces is to stay at the border, but their task is not to prevent foreigners from entering the crown, but to stop the people from leaving the crown. From the report, they have closed the border and tried to establish 3 Feet-height walls, patrols, sentry gun towers, a complete set of blockade systems including triggered semi-autonomous, once the construction is completed, I am afraid that no one can cross the \"wrong thinking defense wall\" to Charlemagne or It is other countries.
As for political detectives...Bren Hill, who has dealt with Stasi many times, also feels cold for this group of scum. These people have already practiced the skills of arresting, interrogating and torturing prisoners before entering the crown. , They searched for those who were dissatisfied with the occupation policy and independents, and each of them could win a prize. The arrested people were sent to the Afou headquarters, which is still under construction in the Chain Bridge Square, in order not to disturb the staff working here. At the beginning, the torture was carried out in the basement, but in only two days, the underground torture chamber was no longer enough, and it was changed to the fourth and fifth floors of the building, and new cells were built.
Political detectives can only use \"can’t wait\" to describe the cell. Once the cell is completed, the arrested person will immediately be held, and the next cell may still be under construction! In this way, Buda City was turned into a on earth.
\"It’s really a genius, I can’t think of any words that can describe that Highness. [,!].\"
\"Dictator, arrogant, delusional patients, many words can be used on him, but this has nothing to do with us.\"
Li Lin shrugged, took the tea cup from the dining car on the edge of the desk, and lifted the teapot to pour tea into the cup, while speaking with a relaxed tone:
\"The second part of the amnesty order. About the content of the grain monopoly. After reading that, you will have a deeper understanding of Prince Wang’s genius mind.\"
\"This...I don’t know what to say...\"
After reading a few lines, Brunn Hill smiled and shook her head.This time, she really couldn't find an adjective to describe the stupid behavior of Prince Wang and his high staff.
Everyone knows that without the army, any plan of the crown prince can not be carried out; without food, even if there is an army, the crown prince can do very little. To support industrialization, the crown prince decided to sacrifice local agriculture and light industry, but he At the same time, we must maintain the frontline and local food supply. In order not to attract the blame of other political forces in the country. But the two are a pair that cannot reconcile the contradiction. Choosing one side is necessary to give up the other. As a result, His Royal Highness once again exerted his extraordinary thinking and decidedly decided. Use extraordinary means to resolve this contradiction.
The second part of the amnesty order: the grain monopoly will be implemented from now on, and the amnesty order will be promulgated within a week of each place in the crown. Each grain holder must report and sell the seed grain and all the remaining grain except the fixed consumption before the next harvest. Anyone who hoards food will be punished by the military control authorities in a horrible and ruthless manner; anyone who has surplus food and does not transport the surplus food to the grain collection station. All will be regarded as the enemy of Charlemagne and all human beings. All property and family members are permanently evicted from the village community.
It seems that this is not enough to stimulate the crown to lead the people. The amnesty order also added a paragraph that the government will use military tickets to pay for the purchase of grain, and those who refuse to accept military tickets are guilty of the same thing as those who resist food collection...
\"Besides the rebellion, I can’t think of any other options for people in the crown collar.\"
Brunn Hill sighed while shaking her head, and the rest was prohibited from gathering, commenting on state affairs, and prohibiting jokes such as Charlemagne and the Charlemagne royal family.She was no longer interested in reading.
Only the first and second articles are enough to irritate the crown-collar people completely, and the rest of the stuff is just some additions.
For a long time, the people of Wang Guanling are still relatively obedient territorial people. They do not have high demands on the rulers, but only ask them not to toss about and create poverty and hunger for everyone. As for independence, it is the lords The most important thing for everyone is the landing of three meals a day.
However, Prince Louis's policy not only hit their self-esteem, but also intended to take away the food they depended on for survival.Under such brutal high-pressure control measures, they really had no choice but to rebel.
Li Lin's view is similar, but there is a reservation.
\"They will definitely rebel, this is a problem sooner or later, but things have not reached an irreparable point.\"
Shaking the tea cup in his hand, Li Lin said meaningfully:
\"Prince Wang gave these instructions.\"
\"Yes, the order is indeed Prince Wang...\"
Brenhill didn’t understand what Li Lin wanted to express. Everyone knew that these were the masterpieces of His Royal Highness...
Then she understood.
\"You mean, Charlemagne will put all the responsibilities on Prince Wang?\"
\"If Richelieu took the idea, he would definitely do it.\"
Due to the monarchy thoughts that have been circulated throughout the world since ancient times, King Charlemagne is a kind of image of "fighting the weak and supporting the weak" in the minds of the people of his country and the territories. So after being forced to the corner, they will naturally Put the last glimmer of hope on \"Father\". Hope to stop the prince’s violent rule by the way of the king. It is precisely because of this situation that the crown prince quickly closed the border to prevent someone from going to Rudes Complaint.
Since the people still have a glimmer of hope, and the situation is indeed very critical, let the cold-faced cardinal make a choice.He will definitely choose to sacrifice the crown prince to some extent in exchange for local loyalty and obedience to Charlemagne.
\"It’s okay, let’s stay on for the time being, let Charlemagne kill the fantasy himself.\"
\"So it is.\"
For a long time, Stasi has secretly found characters in the territories that can add chaos to Charlemagne, and achieved certain results. But as long as the majority of people still hold that illusion, their support for the rebellion will be reserved, Yalf The unrest that Heim expected to see was difficult to achieve.
That being the case, it doesn't matter if they are.
Helping them is a waste of time and resources, and letting them embrace fantasy is more conducive to achieving the goals of the elf camp.
Hope is a prelude to despair.
As long as the expectation for \"City Father\" to end the tyranny is greater, the hope of crushing will bring endless frustration and despair. Charles IV itself, the endless hatred will be turned into a violent revolutionary hurricane with national independence and the abolition of the monarchy, and in order to fight the revolutionary plague, the royal families will inevitably join forces to crack down, which will further tear the human camp. Agree.
Because of this, Li Lin chose to let go. Let those foolish people shove hope and fantasies into the balloons themselves, wait for the right time, and send a needle to this balloon that has swelled to the extreme.
For tomorrow's despair, for the next war, for the next war, carefully cultivate today's despair and hatred.
This is very reasonable, really, very reasonable, but it is very consistent with Li Lin's style. [,! ] Thinking.
\"Although a little sorry... let us appreciate what you can do with Wang Guanling.\"
Shaking the white porcelain teacup, the Constituent of Alfheim ruthlessly smiled cruelly.
