Chapter 882: 10. The country burns (9)

"Retreated?"
The scream of Marquis de Loire was loud and loud, and many general officials in the meeting room paid their attention to the army minister who dropped his chin to the ground.
At the moment, Luwa's expression is wonderful. The twisted facial features are quite abstract, and the light effect in the middle of the night may scare the timid.
Nor can it be blamed that Loire is so gazed, who once thought that the sharp-eared people had made a large-scale news after making a series of big news, and lived and watched the masses of the people eating it.
Before, the defense team of Alfheim marched all the way, and the form was good. Everyone also worried about whether the sharp ears were going to play the great empire, for fear that their interests would be damaged. Suddenly, the Defense Force publicly announced that "the goal of a self-defense counterattack was successfully achieved, and the Charisman Empire revisionism was heavily hit, and the troops were withdrawn from the country immediately." Then, they forcedly changed the style of painting and staged a drama that turned into the wind. If the gap is so large, no one can accept it at once, and even wonder if they can still be happy to eat melons in the future.
What do the sharp ears want to do? Is it necessary to toss everyone to death?
This is the common idea, including Charlemagne, of the top level of various countries after learning this news.
If you scold or scold, you must calm down and carefully study the intention behind this move and what countermeasures you should take to safeguard your own interests to the maximum.
That's right, it is to protect your own interests. All the top politicians are present. There is no silly and white sweet mind full of political correctness, nor is there a late stage of Madonna cancer that needs a concentration camp to burn. The priority of everyone is the interests of themselves and their affiliated groups, and the state is the foundation of the interests of all parties. Due to the existence of this intersection point, everyone can sit down peacefully to discuss the country and defend the foreign enemy. If you think that the lords and lords are really for faith, for the motherland and let go of the past, then you can only say that you are too young and naive.
Minerva is the youngest participant in the joint meeting. She was born in the royal family and has been innocent by various court conspiracies, but even so, she still wholeheartedly wants to contribute to the country and her family. . Therefore, every second in this calculation-ridiculous, ugly meeting is a long torment for her.
"Those with pointed ears heresy no longer have the strength to continue fighting! God Bless Prince! God Bless Charlemagne!!!"
The guy who reacted first shouted his arms, and a series of serial numbers and horse farts were exported.
"Under the guidance of His Royal Highness, we will surely win the final victory!"
The Army Secretary who took his chin back to catch up.
"This is a godsend opportunity, we should speed up the mobilization of troops to launch a counterattack, let these undead go back to the grave to find their ancestors!"
Brainless speech above the blood.
"We can form a force to accept enterprises, factories, mines... and technicians."
Want to enter the crooked building.
"His Royal Highness, we should inform the people of this victory as soon as possible and calm people's hearts."
Finally, some people thought about doing something right.
The atmosphere of the meeting became warmer, and the generals of the army were full of joy and pride. As if they had won the war, they would soon attend the unconditional surrender ceremony in Alfheim.
(……farce.)
Watching the performances of the Landing Army indifferently, Minerva tags the people who have done their utmost to dedicate their eloquence.
The enemy forces were retreating in an unscathed state. I don’t know what the reason for doing so. Let the troops in a hurry to pursue the enemy forces who were waiting for work at the predetermined blocking position. They were simply taking the lives of the soldiers. Enemies send war.
Taking a deep breath, the clear and strong voice cut off the heated discussion.
"How much damage has the enemy suffered?"
A simple sentence immediately extinguished the ambition of a house.
"Who has a complete pursuit pursuit plan?"
Many people shrank their necks.
"Excuse me, who are willing to act as pioneers to pursue the enemy?"
The faces swept by Minerva's eyes were opened, and the guilty fellow stared at the ground desperately.
Everyone knows what is going on at the front, and now lead the soldiers to pursue? I'm afraid it's to give people a head I don't know if the pointed ears will be touched because of the "thousands of miles to give people their heads, and the gifts are light and affectionate".
"Where does the expenditure for marching come from?!"
The palm fell heavily on the table, and the with high toes became a castro just a minute ago. Marquis de Loire, who had always liked to charge for his master, also lost his temper.
A dwarf emperor once said: "The most important thing in fighting is money, the second is money, and the third is money." Similar sayings are "a cannon sounds, gold is 20,000" and so on. These words sound vulgar, but they are true truths. If you don’t have the money, you can play a game of war. If you don’t say anything else, just wait for the troops to collapse or riot.
Now Charlemagne has encountered this problem-almost running out of money.
Charlemagne's economic structure was not very healthy. After the consortium's withdrawal, problems such as shortage of materials, high unemployment rate, depreciation of silver coins, and inadequate government relief broke out all at once. Fortunately, due to wartime, some extraordinary methods can be used to temporarily suppress the problem. By means of relief from workers, mobilization, plundering of dependent countries and overseas colonies, the local people of Charlemagne can bear it for the time being. But the problem cannot be solved by pressing, especially the economic problem, like a flattened spring, when the pressing force weakens or disappears, it will explode even more violently.
There is now a problem that cannot be suppressed by the bayonet. It is about to break through the critical point. Toughness such as Crown Prince and Loire dare not underestimate the inevitable disaster. The Minerva and the Navy are deliberately brought to the Confederate State. Measures to resolve the crisis.
This question even allows political enemies to sit down together, called "inflation".
Since the lead of Albion and the United Principality of Ross, the price of silver has been steadily falling and the price of silver in Charlemagne has begun to rise. After relying on plundering Castilla's gold reserves, price fluctuations once showed signs of stability, but this was only a short-lived one. After a short period of stabilization, hyperinflation reversed with more ferocity.
In fact, the mode of relying on plunder to maintain economic operation is destined to be impossible to last. Without the consortium, Charlemagne's economic crisis will erupt sooner or later. What makes people speechless is that this hyperinflation was entirely triggered by its own stupid economic policies.
After the occupation of Ostoria, the main task of the economy was to plunder supplies, unify the currency, and restore the economic order. The Thaler silver coins originally circulated in Ostoria must be recovered and recast. In this process, there must be the problem of exchange and recast costs. Before the war, the exchange rate between Charlemagne’s River silver coins and Thale was around 1:1.25. With reference to this ratio, and then a reasonable value confirmed by the official, the economic order in Ostoria will soon be restored . Understand that with the assistance of the consortium, Ostria has also built a number of industries. If the economic order can be quickly restored, Charlemagne's strength will inevitably be greatly improved.
The problem is that the Army officials in charge of the finances of the occupied area (please note that they are not the Ministry of Finance)-all those guys who were born with dystocia and had their heads damaged by the birth canal. The exchange rate given by these "geniuses" is 1:50 ! Numerous Ostolians went bankrupt overnight, and Charlemagne officials and people rushed into Ostolia and the St. Eastman crown to lead the hoarding of shopping resources, prices rose three times a day, and the materials were strange Due to the shortage, production has been delayed, and even prices in Charlemagne have fluctuated.
Facing the hyperinflation created by the pig teammates, Minerva could not wait to drive the stalker into the army building for justice, and use the crawler to teach these red deer how to behave.
Things have been worked out. The top priority is not to teach people, but to curb inflation and stabilize prices as soon as possible, while opening up the diplomatic situation and improving the unfavorable strategic situation. Finally, she swallowed a bad breath into her belly, and Minerva sat down with a senior naval general to discuss the way out with the Army. As a result, the solution proposed by the Crown Prince and the Army almost made her vomit blood.
The Army's package of solutions was written in 24 pages. The core is roughly the following:
1. The National Bank launched the "silver coin equivalent to gold deposit" business, the deposit is converted into deposit at the official price, and gold can be obtained upon maturity. After the deposit is in place, the "Gold Buyer 40% Contribution Method" will be implemented to order gold purchasers and "silver coins equivalent to gold deposit" customers to deduct 40% of their due gold as donations.
2. Print and issue paper money "golden coupons", 0.22217 grams per dollar of legal combined pure gold, issued by the state, with denominations of 1, 5, 5, 10, 50, and 100 yuan. The total amount issued is limited to 2 billion.
3. Private individuals are not allowed to hold gold, silver and foreign currency, and redeem it within a time limit. Those who violate the regulations and do not exchange within the time limit will be confiscated and sentenced.
4. The prices of various goods and services across the country should be frozen at the level before the "Long Sword Night".
In the above four, the core idea is one. Mandatory freezing of prices, forcible collection of private precious metals on the basis of administrative orders, and the issuance of Charlemagne’s own banknotes on the basis of searched precious metals. When the currency value stabilizes, prices will naturally stabilize.
After reading this breathtaking concept, Minerva had already faintly heard Li Lin's laughter.
He must know what is happening here, and he must be well aware of the relevant details of this currency reform, even this plan was simply formulated by him for Charlemagne. Now I’m afraid you’re laughing and laughing in the office, wondering if you should send a large ton of medals to Charlemagne Army officials, and then write a poem or something to commend these assist masters to write a practical action. Song of loyal praise.
Obviously, this group of modified their activities in the crown and took them to their country to play. These stupid people who do not remember what they eat and who did not remember, before they looted the military tickets and plundered the dependent countries. As a result, the hyperinflation of the dependent countries deteriorated further. Did they forget the things that provoke resistance? Dare to run a printing press to print banknotes without sufficient reserves and sufficient material reserves, hoping to use precious metals looted by unsecured banknotes as a reserve? What should those military marks do after the defense forces retreat? What about the people in the occupied area? Their brains were not kicked by donkeys, they were simply eaten by insects.
Their plan must not be allowed to pass – Minerva is determined to block currency reforms at all costs. If it is passed, Charman will fall under the economic crisis created by himself without having to defend the army.
As she straightened her mind and prepared to blame the pros and cons, the door of the meeting room was knocked open again.

"Okay, very good, let's bang the two-legged throttle again...Let this baby go idle for another half an hour to see if there is any oil leakage. If there is no problem, turn off the flame, close the guy, and clean up and then get off work. "
After rubbing the rag a few times, William Van Demonster breathed out.
Dwarf artisans are well-known in the world for the "artisan spirit" of elaborate craftsmanship. Delicate and sophisticated precision equipment is a commonplace for them. In their ethnic group, the test of whether a craftsman is qualified is often to see whether the work he produces is complicated enough. Precision.
For a while, driven by a sense of accomplishment, De Munster thought that he was enough to leave his own place in the history of craftsmen. But this illusion only lasted for a while, and the accumulated frustration, madness, and depression surged up.
"The guy who designed this thing must have a grudge against the logistics maintenance personnel."
Taking a sip to the running stalker, Demonster turned his head and complained to Roland aside:
"Is it necessary to make things so complicated for those ‘clean madness’?

Roland, who was immersed in the translation of the maintenance manual, shrugged and cast a helpless wry smile at the dwarf craftsman who was almost exhausted.
In the eyes of a dwarf who takes a bath once a month, the elves who take a bath at all times are out-and-out cleansing patients. Elves with higher personal hygiene requirements also have some opinions on the dwarves' living habits, in addition to like to do simple things very well Complicated and hobby "fantasy", these two races have almost no common language.
But this time, the dwarf artisans also had to take the leeway in front of the designer of the defense army tanks. Not to mention, the compact power room that could not even be reached by the hand, and there were a lot of dense hexagonal inner hexagonal, inner six flowers, inner Twelve-flower screws... All these can make the dwarf craftsmen who are used to getting everything done with hammers, hex screws, open-end wrenches, slotted and cross-shaped screws crazy.
When the dwarves learned that the Defense Forces had also studied 100-ton super-heavy tanks, and the 1000-ton class used six 1 meter wide tracks and land cruisers with side-by-side staggered wheels, they were already scared to spit foam. .
Be a tank, as for? This is how much hatred and resentment the maintenance personnel have to do so? Can't we admit defeat?
In fact, the design team of the Defense Force chariot headed by Dr. Polsher and Dr. Henschel really did not make those designs for tossing, or "for complexity and complexity". The reason why those weird design schemes appear is mainly due to the elders' old problems-a small population base. Since the limit of military expansion is far lower than that of other countries, it is impossible for the defense army to take the cost performance and quantity of equipment as absolute benchmarks like other countries. After all, there are more tanks, and there are not enough qualified drivers. It is just a pile of scrap iron. While maintaining the number, the pursuit of performance advantages as much as possible has become a hard indicator for the design of the defense tank. Driven by this kind of thinking, it is not surprising that in order to carry a large recoil artillery with great recoil—without considering whether the performance of the artillery is
overkill
—it leads to an endless stream of paper designs with overly complicated and overweight structures. If it weren’t for the highest decision-making point with a sober mind, thousands of tons of land battle cruisers would be made by them.
Complaints go back to complain, Demonster did not dare to underestimate the defense tanks, performance is there, and will not shrink because of his self-esteem and complaints.
"There is no doubt that this gadget has completely changed the battlefield. Think about it, the steel fortresses that move, and the indestructible artillery. Any line of fortifications are vulnerable in front of this gadget. To fight against it, there are only a few more More tanks, or better tanks."
Roland stopped the pen, the two sides looked at each other, and smiled bitterly together.
Drowning opponents with numbers-this sounds like a routine for Principality bears, but it is the simplest and most practical method of warfare. As early as in ancient times, people rely on quantitative advantages to siege powerful beasts. In the same way, the seemingly invincible defense tanks are not solid iron kings. Armor protection cannot be all-round. If there are a sufficient number of tanks to launch a lifeless charge, we will sacrifice some tanks to let the rest rush to "almost "Distance of suicide", attacking the rear and engine positions of the defense vehicle, those beasts will also be killed on the spot.
But this can only be thought about, whether a tank can be built is a test of a country's industrial capabilities. Without a series of related industry support, no matter how talented the design is, it stays on paper. Not to mention anything else, just a gearbox, which involves several issues such as alloy smelting, metal milling, finishing, sealing process, oil chemical industry, production and assembly quality inspection, etc. Each link will take at least several years or even Decades of research. Even if the army and the crown prince scolded every day, "Is the kingdom spirit too insufficient?", "The whole country is working hard for war, are you non-nationals?", the progress is still not fast, you think that the chariot is like an army horse Is the deer performing self-anatomy so simple? Just take the knife and poke it in the belly, and then find someone to blame?
Not even low-end imitations can be made, and the "animal killer" whose performance surpasses its opponents is even less to be expected.
In other words, Charlieman's only anti-armor force, except for a pile, is only a few seized light armored vehicles and a trial mds and a ma component.
Use this force to stop the steel torrent of the Defense Force? There should also be a limit to joking. People with normal heads will never think of it.
The heads of the people who dominate the country's politics have not been very clear. When they see a little hope in the desperate situation, the psychology of crazy gamblers will expand exponentially.
"The 12th Infantry Division, which followed the enemy's attack on Xiaomeng, was blocked, and the entire division was almost beaten to cancel its establishment. The big men above were very shaken after hearing the news. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"I know... and it is said that the other party has only one tank."
Roland closed the book.
After learning that the Defence Forces had begun to retreat, some front-line troops sent out messages to the rear while carrying out a chasing battle impatiently. When they saw some of the supplies and weapons scattered along the way, the originally low morale burst into blood, and under the leadership of the blindfolded chief, the Charlieman soldiers who were ready to vent the bird's breath in the chest hit the defense army. Set iron plate.
Because the process of failure is too tragic and rapid, the current information is still ambiguous or even contradictory. But the soldiers' description is the same.
Huge metal monsters, fearless of guns and infantry, crushing artillery and artillery with cannonballs fired at zero distance.
There is no doubt that it is a tank.
I have not accepted the identification of the defense vehicle model. At the same time, based on the offense mentality and a strong sense of fear, soldiers will inevitably magnify their opponents. It may be able to defeat an entire infantry division on a single bike...it might be really a huge, heavy tank like a street monster.
That's right, it's like a "mouse" super heavy tank, riding a thousand monsters.
Faced with monsters of that level, the best way is to use political and diplomatic means to put an end to this stupid war as soon as possible, leaving those big men idle, and the next best way is to use reasonable tactics to attack their weaknesses. The worst way is Fill it with human life.
If it is Roland himself, he will definitely choose the first and second methods, but now Charlemagne is basically the crown prince and the army.
What will this group of guys who like to cover with the spirit rather than thinking with their brains do? Thinking about it, it seems that there is only the last way-use your own celestial cover to hit others' maces. (To be continued.)
