If you want to know when a war breaks out, don’t follow public opinion, look at the flow of materials, and then make your own judgment.
The military school has heard such a statement. When chatting with Parsifal, he also had some understanding of the logistical matters, so as soon as he looked at the curve table in his hand, Roland's scalp began to tingle.
The prices of steel, saltpetre, cloth, and grain are all rising. Although the increase is not large, considering that the supply and demand channels are very smooth recently, the country has not introduced a tax increase policy, and there is no such thing as disasters, poor harvests, etc. The phenomenon of the simultaneous rise of species and supplies is definitely not normal.
There is only one conclusion: Charlemagne is preparing for the war.
In fact, the clamor for war has been going on for more than a month. By this week, there were no fluctuations in logistics and the market. This caused a certain illusion that "war will not come". But when the news of Albian's defeat in Riga and the advancing commander Major General Parkinson's death came, the mania of public opinion and market volatility began almost simultaneously.
Roland did not pay attention to Charlie Man’s public opinion, nor did he think that sooner or later Charlie Man would jump into the water to participate in the war, but he did not expect it to come so fast.
too fast!
It took only half a month for Albion to attack Kaliningrad. Albion’s Red Shirts actually fell under the Riga city and lost 6,000 soldiers. The advance commander also died on the spot. Not only did Charlemagne not learn from it, but he could not wait to jump into this big pit.
"Damn it!"
The fist was heavy on the table, and the teacup plate jumped up.
"It's war, not games or gambling, the guys are so impatient."
"This is politics, young master."
Dressed neatly in women's business attire. The spider standing beside the desk mocked:
"When you look at the problem from a pacifist perspective, the bigwigs use realism and utilitarianism to look at the problem. What you see is the ruined landscape caused by the war. They see the huge benefits brought by the war. The difference is only That's all."
"Huh... I know this of course."
Spit out the pimples that are stuck in the chest. Roland let out a breath.
With a profit of 300%, people dare to trample on all laws in the world, commit any crimes, and take the risk of strangulation.
When Li Lin said these words like explaining a truth, Roland was still uncomfortable, but the performance of various countries and forces now undoubtedly proves that this is a truth. Like many remarks such as "a lie repeated a thousand times is the truth" and "the result is everything", it is the truth that makes him feel sick.
He is very uncomfortable, but not only for these things.
Moderately improve the treatment of workers, regular shareholders' meetings, raw material imports, market regulation and research... The company's business decisions all weighed on him at once. The reason is very clear. The president and the vice president amplify the holiday together, and Master Roland will not take this burden. Life can't be over!
Wenshan meeting is already big enough for Roland, but it is not only the part of the company that should be in charge of the president, participating in public events, signing various contracts, and receiving social celebrities... these are all his work.
Especially the interactive work with high society, the endless salons, banquets, hunting, and prom are indispensable procedures for maintaining the friendly relationship between the company and Charlemagne, but these ritual gatherings continue to cause trouble for him to complete other tasks. Every time at the party. He shouted in his heart, "Why are these guys so empty every day". As he piled up business smiles, he shook hands with a bunch of old men who were flattering and flattering and looked like pimps. In the past few days, their cheeks and hands were sore, and their work was more backlogged.
If you can use official busyness as an excuse to push away these invitations, it will relieve a lot of pressure, but some people's invitations can not be refused.
Such as Prime Minister and Cardinal Richelieu, His Majesty the King, Queen, Second Princess, Crown Prince, Second Prince, Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, Minister of Finance...
As the war approaches, the importance of V.E companies becomes more and more prominent. Even without considering the influence of the consortium, in order to meet the consumption in the future war, people will never neglect the huge military complex. Not to mention the state of the president and vice president Shenyin. Roland, the acting president, is the only communication channel. No one wants to miss the opportunity to explore the tone and strengthen personal relationships with the people at the helm of the future consortium.
Having said that, every participant knows this, but many people did not show the proper attitude.
The queen and the crown prince are the representatives of these people. These two nobles are not easy to get along with, and there are deep-rooted arrogance, vain and self-righteous superiors in the character. In their eyes, Li Lin and Roland were both uncultivated and disgusting upstarts, and they were able to climb to their present position by means of dirty and indecent means, but when facing Li Lin, he was deterred by his spiteful means of revenge. The two can also forcefully close their faces, avoiding the unpleasantness of Mr. President, and come up with some poison schemes that would make them toss about food and sleepless nights. But when the conversation was replaced by a gentle Roland, those problems could no longer be covered.
Obviously, despite the name of "a young genius", Roland's point of "achievement" and Prince Wang's actual military achievements cannot be compared, and he is too young, and his reputation and influence are very weak. Most of the aura comes from his Adoptive father. A "rich second generation" in the eyes of most people is no different from a civilian in the eyes of a noble prince. Of course, his attitude cannot be good.
In fact, Prince Wang's attitude has been very restrained. Although he has expressed disdain and contempt for Roland in both language and action, he has not forgotten the minimum etiquette. The queen’s performance is much harsher, not to mention courtesy. Her unscrupulous posture is like treating Roland as a court servant, or a cheaper, unidentified civilian.
It’s not difficult to understand this phenomenon. The queen’s temper was originally bad. The husband and wife’s relationship with the king was not very harmonious. In the face of the competing favors of other women and the threats of the shameless women’s cubs to her son’s status, she Of course it will become neurotic. The various actions of the consortium and Li Lin-the second prince and Titans, through the marriage of Roland and Minerva. Taking the third prince in your hands as insurance-a serious stimulus to Her Majesty, facing Li Lin, she had nowhere to vent her anger, and when she switched to Roland, she would naturally revenge.
Really bad. She shouldn't have done that. But even the queen knew this in her heart, but she couldn't control the urge to hate, and she rushed in the wrong direction at full speed.
An old woman who is poisoned is nagging and nagging for hours, as long as she doesn't have a particular sexual habit and likes to be trampled and scolded by a woman, no one will be in a good mood. But when you can't escape this, and you can't vent it, the result is that the mental and physical pressures continue to accumulate until one day the catharsis comes out, or it is destroyed...
With so much pressure, even Roland has a good temper. He has become increasingly difficult to control his emotions. Writing down the schedule for applying for leave in the notepad, Roland took a document for review, looked at it, and his brow furrowed again.
"Orders for military production have increased by 74%, uniforms and uniforms have increased by 81%, and orders for "energy medicine" have increased by 150%... Can I think that the military chiefs of various countries intend to let their soldiers all take drugs?"
Putting down the report, Roland's expression became extremely unpleasant again.
This is the fact. 'Energetic medicine'-that is, methamphetamine has been popular in the military of various countries for many years. Military officers like it and magician's officers like it. Soldiers also like this kind of thing.
It doesn't take much effort to promote the drug. The company's salesman only needs to carry a syringe or oral amphetamine, and then find a few low-spirited soldiers. Within a few minutes, they will get new loyal customers and salesmen. Then give them a little sweetness, and soon, the stimulant will start to flood, and then be regarded as a treasure by higher-ranking officers.
A spirit that keeps soldiers strong. Concentrate on fighting drugs-no officer will ignore this means of enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army. Although the side effects of drugs have been found more or less during the use: soldiers who have used "energy medicine" for a long time will always feel that someone wants to kill themselves, the spirit is always highly nervous, easily irritated, and the tendency to violence is obvious, but the general We do not consider these as problems. Instead, he was heartily happy with this discovery. They just need this.
In the and cruel battlefield, soldiers inject large doses of "energy medicine", and in a short time they will become lunatics with only the idea of "killing" in their minds. They will not be afraid or afraid. Unless they blow their heads, even with only one breath left, these lunatic soldiers will march toward the enemy's position with bayonets and bullets.
The performance of the Albion soldiers under the city of Riga fully proves that if there are not enough soldiers in the Principality Army, the ammunition is sufficient, and the cowardly bears stay in the trenches like moles. I am afraid that the city of Riga fortress has already been changed. The red and white rose flag was on.
What Roland and other military executives don’t know is that the Principality Army is also using amphetamines. The bears also use this as a "help" drug and invented a method to improve the effectiveness of medicine- -Mixing amphetamine and vodka and injecting it, it is said that its effectiveness is comparable to that of the operation system "crazy warrior"...
The excellent results naturally make the generals ecstatic ~EbookFREE.me~ They have a thought in their heads-more energy medicine, to make each platoon, each squad, and each soldier have enough The energy medicine, let them fight with one mind...
For the first time, the military of various countries showed their efficiency. In less than a week, snow flake orders flew to V.E. In less than a week, amphetamines were almost out of stock.
Looking at the performance growth, Roland was not happy at all.
He knew very well what these orders meant, a massive death, a war without honor and humanity. Li Lin mentioned this already, and looked forward to such a result, but Roland is not Li Lin. It is impossible to expect this kind of thing, only feel sick.
(Can't go on like this.)
Putting down the report, the teenager fell silent, and after about 1 minute, opened the drawer.
He must do something. (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.)
