Although the Tiandu City of Bharat Kingdom was defended, the collapse of the Heavenly Palace brought a lot of trouble to Abusaike.
It is not just because of the rumors among the people and the use of various factions, but also part of it is his own reasons.
Like most Brahmins, he had superstitious attributes in his bones. However, after he took the position of commander, he refused to admit it, and even followed the trend and read the scriptures of materialism and atheism in the alliance.
This is a bit useful at the beginning. If you read too much, you will have the illusion that you are just right.
Especially when he was carrying out educational reform, Abusek once regarded himself as a real materialist warrior, and even mistakenly regarded Kabach, the guy who couldn't understand the air, as his comrade-in-arms, and forgot that those reformist officers were his real comrade-in-arms.
However, self-comfort is ultimately a cure for symptoms but not the root cause.
Even though he deliberately did not sit on the emperor's chair, and even built a commander's mansion to emphasize to everyone that his legitimacy had nothing to do with the heavenly palace, he still broke his defense when the heavenly palace collapsed.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed for his poor psychological tolerance, and some of the blame is from the academy.
In his perception, no survivor organization in the entire wasteland understands science better than the college.
As a result, the academy just promised him that the Heavenly Palace could float in the sky for more than ten or twenty years, and in a blink of an eye it fell to the ground.
It is difficult not to doubt him about the academy and even the science itself, and thus doubt himself.
Is there really some existence in the dark that controls all this with an invisible hand?
In this way, his suspicious illness relapsed.
He had nightmares almost every night, and Yanush's devilish grinning face would definitely appear in his dream.
It was Anwo who shot, but the evil ghost seemed to know who killed him.
The guy just came to take revenge, and just stood outside the window, tortured him with the silent sounds.
Sometimes Abusek was tossed all night and couldn't sleep. The next day he would go to the commander's office to review documents with red eyes, or he could not stand it until the middle of the night, and snore until noon.
He dared not complain to anyone about this matter. After all, if rumors spread again, saying that the commander was targeted by a ghost, he might have to be exploited by the opposition within the Federation.
The only person he could tell was the messenger from the alliance.
First, the other party has no interest in interfering in the internal affairs of Bharata, and second, he can feel that they really believe what they say and are real materialists.
However, after hearing his troubles, the eagle also had a helpless expression on his face.
...I am frank, you are suspicious.
I also know that I tried to think about it, but it was useless at all. It seemed like someone lived in my head... Abusek sighed, suddenly his heart moved, and said nervously, "Do you think it will be the influence of the spiritual interference."
Looking at the suspicious Abusek, the eagle shook his head and explained patiently.
That device has little effect on humans with a complete mind... Although it is not completely useless, at most it is the degree to which a sentence or two of information is transmitted, making it impossible for you to dream of a specific person.
Moreover, that thing is not placed in a directional manner, and usually covers a whole area.
If it is really the influence of the mental interference device, he cannot be the only one who is affected.
In other words, this is his own inner demon, and he can only rely on himself to overcome it.
After thinking for a moment, the eagle asked tentatively.
Or...you go see a psychologist?
There are many psychologists in the alliance.
That thing has a threshold, but it is not high, but the market demand is not small.
Not only the wastelanders who returned to civilized society, but also the survivors rescued by players from the predators' dungeons, most of them have the experience of consulting psychologists. This is not a shameful thing, and medical insurance can even be reimbursed.
Abusek heard this, but without thinking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and refused.
I'll... If I go to see a doctor, I'll probably have some rumors.
The eagle sighed.
Unfortunately, I may not be able to help you with this.
Looking at the regretful eagle, Abusek laughed and joked.
If there is any place, after talking to you, I feel much more smooth. Maybe I can have a stable sleep tonight.
He actually didn't expect anyone to help him, so he wanted to find an outsider to talk to him.
Seeing his distress, the eagle suddenly thought that some priests from the Silver Moon Sect had recently come to Tiandu to rescue refugees and preach, so he moved his heart and spoke.
...If you don't want to find a psychologist, you might as well talk to the priest of the Silver Moon Sect.
Abusek was stunned for a moment.
priest?
The eagle nodded.
Although we are atheists, we never deny the value of faith as a spiritual sustenance. If you are interested, you can learn about it... Of course, this is just a suggestion.
It is not feasible to persuade people to quit smoking by using the harmful effects of smoking.
Similarly, using this world without ghosts to convince superstitious people is just the wishful thinking of the chanter.
Instead of letting him fight against the torment in his heart, it is better to let him believe something less harmful. This is also a way to face his own heart calmly.
The eagle suddenly felt that he was simply a genius.
He not only has the ability to do diplomats, but also can do the job of a psychologist.
Abusek seemed to be moved, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded seriously.
...I'm considering it.
The meeting came to an end.
After seeing off the Alliance messenger, Abusek paced back and forth in the office for several times, and finally picked up the phone and issued an order. He invited the priest from Silver Moon Bay to the commander's mansion on the grounds of discussing the rescue of refugees.
The two met in the reception room.
After some greetings, Abusek did not beat around the bush and asked with a straight-forward smile.
Do you have any popes or something like this in your Silver Moon Sect?
This is what he cares about the most.
Although he wanted to find something to support his spirit, he did not want anyone to ride on his head.
Unknown to the concerns in the commander's heart, the pastor just smiled warmly and said.
We are different from our compatriots who believe in the spirit of the sea of sand. We do not serve the living, so there is no pope.
The Yinyue Sect itself is a new interpretation of the doctrine of the Spirit of the Sand Sea by merchants in Yinyue Bay to be lazy and not worship, and to go to sea legally, so they are relatively relaxed in terms of etiquette and organization.
Although there is a pope in the Camel Kingdom, it is not the pope of the Silver Moon Sect or Silver Moon Bay, but the pope of the Sand Sea Spirit Cult and the Camel City.
No Ah, no good...that's pretty good.
Abusek nodded in praise, suddenly changed his mind and then asked again.
What about the doctrine?Have you forced others to believe in you, or brainwash others, or make money and persecut dissidents in the name of faith?
Abusek asked all the questions he was worried about, but then he felt that the question was too sharp, so he smiled in a gentle tone.
Mr. Pastor, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you have these questions, but just in case a question... After all, the people of Bharata are simple and kind, and I'm afraid they will be deceived by the cult.
Understand, the pastor smiled gently, paused for a moment, took out a "Holy Book" from his arms and handed it to Abusaike. Although I can answer your confusion, it cannot relieve your concerns.Since you have so many concerns about us, why not find this answer yourself?
After taking the "Holy Book", Abusek took it in his hand and weighed it.
Just pass this book?
The pastor continued in a gentle tone.
If you want to fully understand a person, you must not only listen to his words, but also observe his actions.If you really want to know us comprehensively, the content of a book is certainly not enough, but it can at least be the beginning of our understanding of each other.
Abusek raised his eyebrows gently, then smiled and put the book in his arms.
It seems I have to have a cat.
Listening to the funny tone, the pastor smiled gently and continued.
Although cats are our holy objects, we do not force every believer to keep one.Even on the contrary, our doctrine encourages believers to get along with those elves in the way of friends than captivity and worship.That is, provide them with necessary help only when they need us.
Abusek touched his chin with interest.
Is there any mystery here?
The pastor said with a smile.
There is no mystery, but in our teachings, the cat is the pet of the Silver Moon Goddess, and it is also her eyes and her incarnation in the mortal world.We believe that she is wandering all year round and yearning for freedom, so unless the elves take the initiative to stay by our side, we generally do not take the initiative to take them in.
Abusek was overjoyed when he heard this.
The incarnation of the world!
Wouldn't that ward off evil spirits?!
Thinking that the ghost that tortured him all day long finally had a way to break it, he stood up excitedly.
That's really great!I like cats too!Can you please give me some advice on how much I raise it for the benefit?
The pastor looked at this guy blankly, not knowing why he was suddenly happy, but he calmed down and continued.
There aren't many sayings about this...But if you like cats, I can give you one...a closer person.
Abusek looked eager.
It doesn’t matter whether you are close to your relatives or not, just as long as you can ward off evil spirits!
Pastor: …?
……
Since Abusaike and the priest of the Silver Moon Sect met, there have been many more cats in the Commander's Mansion.
Abusaike claimed to be a gift sent to him by the Silver Moon Sect, but some people said that there was actually only one gift, and most of the cats were bought by him from merchants in Silver Moon Bay.
Although everyone was confused, they didn't say anything. After all, who didn't have any hobbies?
Duvata likes women, Shah Ruk likes gold and silver, and Nigley likes to collect artworks from the Alliance. At least this Abusaike's hobby is relatively cheap.
Cats eat less than humans, and those cats don't look like any expensive breed.
At least not for the time being.
Moreover, since raising a cat, Abusek, who was originally in a state of depression, suddenly became energetic again, as if he had a second spring.
Now even Duvata, who was secretly laughing at him, couldn't make up his mind.
The so-called "higher has something to do, and the lower ones will work.
Because the commander himself likes to raise cats, some officials also keep them, so raising cats has become a fashion in the upper class of Tiandu for a while, and cats have temporarily escaped from the local people's recipes.
Only Commissioner Kabach shook his head and sighed, and still scolded Abusaike for his family in public.
There are still many people in the Bharat Kingdom who can’t eat.
As a commander, you should at least be more restrained.
Abusek was not angry after hearing this, but just laughed. Instead, he asked the housekeeper to give him a clingy little cute girl to raise, and ordered him not to raise him to die, and to report it every week, otherwise he would be punished.
Kabach was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't use the pen as a gun, so he could only swallow this breath.
This happened a week later.
Abusek couldn't help but grin as he looked at the report handed over to him by the Interior Commissioner Vadia.
This report is just two words alive.
It can be seen that Commissioner Kabach was still angry with him.
But Abusek didn't care and just smiled and praised Wadia.
This cat is a good thing... Since I raised this thing, my temper has improved a lot.
Vadia said with a wry smile.
What the commander said was.
Abusek continued with a smile.
I have been wondering recently whether to send some to the soldiers on the front line.
Wadia was stunned when she heard this and said hesitantly.
This...is a bit inappropriate.
Abusek said with a smile.
There is nothing wrong with it. Our soldiers are all humans, not machines. Just keeping them alive is not enough. We also need to pay attention to their mental health.
Wadia: But... I'm worried that doing so will affect their combat efficiency.
Abusek suddenly had a look on his face and looked at his internal affairs committee member.
Mr. Wadia, have you ever squatted in the trenches?
Wadia quickly shook her head and answered truthfully.
No……
I've squatted and turned my eyes out the window. Abusek narrowed his eyes. The place was simply hell. A little bit of slight movement could make you nervous.I can guarantee that even if you stand in front of your mother, she may not recognize you.
It was not the idea that Abusek came up with to send a batch of cats to the front line.He had consulted with people from the alliance before and heard that there was this precedent in other places.
The soldiers who stayed in the trenches were in a state of tension for a long time and had no spiritual sustenance. They could easily cause psychological problems over time.
In fact, the league's officers had reported this to them a long time ago, and suggested that they equip each hundred-man team with at least one instructor. If possible, it is best to be equipped to the ten-man team level.
He is indeed doing this, but the training of instructors takes time, and it is not possible to complete the entire system reform in one day.
In contrast, sending a batch of cats to the front line is a good emergency solution.
Besides, it’s better to have a cat catch a mouse.
The dead people were simply a serious disaster area for rats. The two pairs of leather boots he had were bitten by rats, which made him soak his feet in water when it rained.
If Alayan could have treated these brothers as individuals back then, they would not have risen.
Just treat it as a bribery of people's hearts, and this amount of money will not be lost.
...The cat breeds fast and is not expensive, so you can arrange it as I said.
Seeing that the commander had already had an idea, Vadia no longer dissuaded him, and nodded in his heart.
yes!
……
As the battle of defense of Tiandu came to an end, the war between the Xilan pseudo-imperial Empire and the countries of the Bharat Province also entered a new stage.
Both sides of the war and the chess players behind the scenes completely abandoned the fantasy of quick battle and was ready to fight a protracted battle.
First, Emperor Akba issued a mobilization edict and a proclamation to fight against the thieves, counting the twelve crimes of unfaithfulness, filial piety, and unkindness of the rebels of the Bharat Kingdom, and angrily accused Abusek of causing resentment from heaven and others, causing reprimands of heaven, and vowing to mobilize one million troops from Shizhou and Gouzhou to kill the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the Bharat Kingdom was not willing to be outdone. First, it listed thirteen crimes of the pseudo-emperor, and then abolished the agreement between the old empire and the legion on Xifan Port, and mobilized 600,000 reserves again, vowing to fight the legion to the end.
The reason why he mobilized only 600,000 is not because the Bharati country's human resources pool has bottomed out, but because Abusaike has other plans.
Due to a series of reform measures in the Bharat Kingdom and the victory achieved on the front line, the owners of the industry who had concerns about investing in the Bharat Kingdom have changed their mindsets.
The priests sent by the Silver Moon Sect are a clear signal.
Although the pastors funded by Silver Moon Bay merchants did come to spread the gospel of Silver Moon Goddess, they did not just do charity and missionary work, but also examined the local customs and business environment.
After all, the donations they received were not for free.
If the financial backer wants to build a church, of course they have to take some thought to pay attention to whether the local area has the soil to make the seeds grow.
It's like throwing a stone to ask for directions.
After all, religion itself is also a kind of business model, and it is one of the most brilliant business models.
In addition to the merchants in Silver Moon Bay, the affiliated industry owners who had previously made good returns in their investment in Mammoth Country are also full of interest in this Feng Shui treasure land without alien intrusion.
The local area has rich human resources and red clay to ensure the lower limit of the survival cost of local people. There is no place that is more suitable for opening a factory than here.
Especially labor-intensive factories.
In addition, there are businessmen from Golden Gallon Port, French Fries Port and Fried Fries Port.
Especially the Yue tribe people travel for business.
Although Wu Tuo deeply hurt their relationship, they still have some feelings for their hometown.
Moreover, Yanush had restored the reputation of the Moon tribe before, and he also won a lot of favor for the Heavenly King Army among the Moon tribe.
Even if the reformist officers led by Abusek cut off from the Heavenly King Army, it did not affect the inheritance of this favorable feeling.
On the contrary, because all the black spots were whitewashed, the reformist officers became better in the eyes of the Yue tribe.
With so many cards in your hand, even a pig will not play too badly.
Abusek was obviously not so stupid that he was even worse than a pig, and he saw the opportunity at a glance.
Therefore, rather than mobilizing all young people to the front line, he naturally tends to guide them to the factory to work.
Therefore, after referring to the alliance's suggestions, Abusaike divided Baixiang City, located in the middle of the Bharat Province, into a central industrial zone, investing a full third of the fiscal budget to build railways and power grids in the local area, and at the same time focused on the development of heavy industries such as steelmaking, chemicals, and heavy machinery manufacturing, in order to complement the industrial zones of Huzhou, Leopard and Rowell in the future.
Compared with the fragile farming economy of the Bharat Kingdom, this is undoubtedly a grand project.
But if this plan can be achieved, local survivors may really have hope of igniting the flames of industry and getting rid of the embarrassment that even bicycles have to be imported from the Port of King Gallon.
And this is also beneficial to the league.
In the context of some feudal lords, cake is an eternal thing. The more people you cut, the less everyone can get.
However, there is another context in this world. In this context, the cake is not born, but something that can be made bigger and bigger.
As long as you don’t slash randomly, there is always a way to get everyone a little, at least not cut less and less.
Just as this ancient empire was slowly awakening, the officers on the front line of the Southern Legion were also completely awakened.
They gradually realized the horror of the alliance.
It is not only because of the high fighting will of those volunteers, but also because the high fighting will be contagious like a virus, and the locals have become beasts that require them to do their best to deal with.
As the airship was destroyed by unknown weapons, General Gulyon established a spy agency composed of locals in the name of Akbar to investigate the five crashed airships.
At the same time, Captain Ryan Wan, who served as the commander of the Eastern Front, completely changed his previous aggressive offensive strategy, and his strategic style became a steady and steady attack.
The most obvious point is that he voluntarily gave up the hills on the northeast side of Akale County, retreated from the bend of the river to the border between Shizhou and Niuzhou, dug up trenches, and built artillery towers and bunkers.
Doing so is equivalent to giving up the flood plains that were previously under the control of the Southern Legion.
For the Southern Legion, this means that their blitzkrieg and the clamor of the two-month destruction of the rebels have completely declared bankruptcy.
However, on the other hand, they can consolidate their positions to make the supply line in the rear more stable and avoid being infiltrated and harassed by the guerrillas of the Bharat and the Mammoth Kingdom.
This is obviously not a good thing for the Bharat country, which is at a disadvantage.
On the one hand, this shows that the Southern Legion has begun to take serious care, and it is not so easy for them to get a bargain.
On the other hand, the Southern Legion has begun to consciously digest the territory it has occupied and is trying to turn the occupied area into its own territory.
However, in contrast, the army of the Bharat Kingdom became more and more mature in the continuous battle, and many outstanding generals were born during this period.
For example, Isher, the 30th-1000-man team.
For example, the 110,000-man team leader Yokale, etc.
Especially Isher, this guy was particularly honored to receive the nickname of the Jungle Rat given to the Willant people and a reward of 1 million dinars.
This guy is as cunning as a mouse, applying guerrilla and psychological warfare to the point of being superb.
The Willant officer who fought with him even said that he could fire two cannons with one cannon.
Give him a 10-man team, which he can use as a 100-man team, especially in jungles and hills, which is hard to defend!
Another who won the Willant title is Captain Pickley of the 700,000th Man.
But he became popular not because of his outstanding record, but because of a photo published in the Survivor Daily.
The soldiers of the Willant people privately called it the Butcher.
Compared to Isher, his nickname is obviously much more domineering, and he has even been on the Southern Legion Victory News.
In the matter of Muqiang, the Wirants actually have many similarities with the Brahmins.
Compared to the Jungle Rat who is good at conspiracy, the grassroots soldiers and officers of the Legion obviously appreciate the ten thousand men who charge with bayonets.
Even if the head held in his hand belongs to their compatriots, it does not hinder their appreciation of the strong.
After all, in the jungle culture concept of the strong as respect, there is actually another layer of metaphor
That is, weak people are not worthy of being called compatriots.
They would be indignant of the massacre that took place at the Port of West Sail, because that was contempt and humiliation of the abstract concept of the Willant.
However, the suffering of a particular person or a certain type of person will only bring them ridicule.
This has nothing to do with the quantity, after all, the number of 40,000 is much greater than three thousand no matter how it is calculated.
That night, every Willant soldier who died or surrendered as a loser received no honor, only shame and ridicule...
As both sides showed their true abilities, the entire war fell into a stalemate.
There are many things happening every day on the front line, but for people outside the front line, it seems like nothing happens.
It was soon August, and the sultry rainy season gradually came to an end. Waiting for another two months will be the dry season.
At this moment, a fleet from the Coast of Death approached Yong Night Harbor, the southernmost part of the Great Desert.
And the change here is so great that Yarman almost mistakenly thinks that he has come to the wrong place.
It is not just because of the rumors among the people and the use of various factions, but also part of it is his own reasons.
Like most Brahmins, he had superstitious attributes in his bones. However, after he took the position of commander, he refused to admit it, and even followed the trend and read the scriptures of materialism and atheism in the alliance.
This is a bit useful at the beginning. If you read too much, you will have the illusion that you are just right.
Especially when he was carrying out educational reform, Abusek once regarded himself as a real materialist warrior, and even mistakenly regarded Kabach, the guy who couldn't understand the air, as his comrade-in-arms, and forgot that those reformist officers were his real comrade-in-arms.
However, self-comfort is ultimately a cure for symptoms but not the root cause.
Even though he deliberately did not sit on the emperor's chair, and even built a commander's mansion to emphasize to everyone that his legitimacy had nothing to do with the heavenly palace, he still broke his defense when the heavenly palace collapsed.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed for his poor psychological tolerance, and some of the blame is from the academy.

It was Anwo who shot, but the evil ghost seemed to know who killed him.

Sometimes Abusek was tossed all night and couldn't sleep. The next day he would go to the commander's office to review documents with red eyes, or he could not stand it until the middle of the night, and snore until noon.
He dared not complain to anyone about this matter. After all, if rumors spread again, saying that the commander was targeted by a ghost, he might have to be exploited by the opposition within the Federation.

Only Commissioner Kabach shook his head and sighed, and still scolded Abusaike for his family in public.
There are still many people in the Bharat Kingdom who can’t eat.
As a commander, you should at least be more restrained.
Abusek was not angry after hearing this, but just laughed. Instead, he asked the housekeeper to give him a clingy little cute girl to raise, and ordered him not to raise him to die, and to report it every week, otherwise he would be punished.
Kabach was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't use the pen as a gun, so he could only swallow this breath.
This happened a week later.
Abusek couldn't help but grin as he looked at the report handed over to him by the Interior Commissioner Vadia.
This report is just two words alive.
It can be seen that Commissioner Kabach was still angry with him.
But Abusek didn't care and just smiled and praised Wadia.
This cat is a good thing... Since I raised this thing, my temper has improved a lot.
Vadia said with a wry smile.
What the commander said was.
Abusek continued with a smile.
I have been wondering recently whether to send some to the soldiers on the front line.
Wadia was stunned when she heard this and said hesitantly.
This...is a bit inappropriate.
Abusek said with a smile.
There is nothing wrong with it. Our soldiers are all humans, not machines. Just keeping them alive is not enough. We also need to pay attention to their mental health.
Wadia: But... I'm worried that doing so will affect their combat efficiency.
Abusek suddenly had a look on his face and looked at his internal affairs committee member.
Mr. Wadia, have you ever squatted in the trenches?
Wadia quickly shook her head and answered truthfully.
No……
I've squatted and turned my eyes out the window. Abusek narrowed his eyes. The place was simply hell. A little bit of slight movement could make you nervous.I can guarantee that even if you stand in front of your mother, she may not recognize you.
It was not the idea that Abusek came up with to send a batch of cats to the front line.He had consulted with people from the alliance before and heard that there was this precedent in other places.
The soldiers who stayed in the trenches were in a state of tension for a long time and had no spiritual sustenance. They could easily cause psychological problems over time.
In fact, the league's officers had reported this to them a long time ago, and suggested that they equip each hundred-man team with at least one instructor. If possible, it is best to be equipped to the ten-man team level.
He is indeed doing this, but the training of instructors takes time, and it is not possible to complete the entire system reform in one day.
In contrast, sending a batch of cats to the front line is a good emergency solution.
Besides, it’s better to have a cat catch a mouse.
The dead people were simply a serious disaster area for rats. The two pairs of leather boots he had were bitten by rats, which made him soak his feet in water when it rained.
If Alayan could have treated these brothers as individuals back then, they would not have risen.
Just treat it as a bribery of people's hearts, and this amount of money will not be lost.
...The cat breeds fast and is not expensive, so you can arrange it as I said.
Seeing that the commander had already had an idea, Vadia no longer dissuaded him, and nodded in his heart.
yes!
……
As the battle of defense of Tiandu came to an end, the war between the Xilan pseudo-imperial Empire and the countries of the Bharat Province also entered a new stage.
Both sides of the war and the chess players behind the scenes completely abandoned the fantasy of quick battle and was ready to fight a protracted battle.
First, Emperor Akba issued a mobilization edict and a proclamation to fight against the thieves, counting the twelve crimes of unfaithfulness, filial piety, and unkindness of the rebels of the Bharat Kingdom, and angrily accused Abusek of causing resentment from heaven and others, causing reprimands of heaven, and vowing to mobilize one million troops from Shizhou and Gouzhou to kill the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the Bharat Kingdom was not willing to be outdone. First, it listed thirteen crimes of the pseudo-emperor, and then abolished the agreement between the old empire and the legion on Xifan Port, and mobilized 600,000 reserves again, vowing to fight the legion to the end.
The reason why he mobilized only 600,000 is not because the Bharati country's human resources pool has bottomed out, but because Abusaike has other plans.
Due to a series of reform measures in the Bharat Kingdom and the victory achieved on the front line, the owners of the industry who had concerns about investing in the Bharat Kingdom have changed their mindsets.
The priests sent by the Silver Moon Sect are a clear signal.
Although the pastors funded by Silver Moon Bay merchants did come to spread the gospel of Silver Moon Goddess, they did not just do charity and missionary work, but also examined the local customs and business environment.
After all, the donations they received were not for free.
If the financial backer wants to build a church, of course they have to take some thought to pay attention to whether the local area has the soil to make the seeds grow.
It's like throwing a stone to ask for directions.
After all, religion itself is also a kind of business model, and it is one of the most brilliant business models.
In addition to the merchants in Silver Moon Bay, the affiliated industry owners who had previously made good returns in their investment in Mammoth Country are also full of interest in this Feng Shui treasure land without alien intrusion.
The local area has rich human resources and red clay to ensure the lower limit of the survival cost of local people. There is no place that is more suitable for opening a factory than here.
Especially labor-intensive factories.
In addition, there are businessmen from Golden Gallon Port, French Fries Port and Fried Fries Port.
Especially the Yue tribe people travel for business.
Although Wu Tuo deeply hurt their relationship, they still have some feelings for their hometown.
Moreover, Yanush had restored the reputation of the Moon tribe before, and he also won a lot of favor for the Heavenly King Army among the Moon tribe.
Even if the reformist officers led by Abusek cut off from the Heavenly King Army, it did not affect the inheritance of this favorable feeling.
On the contrary, because all the black spots were whitewashed, the reformist officers became better in the eyes of the Yue tribe.
With so many cards in your hand, even a pig will not play too badly.
Abusek was obviously not so stupid that he was even worse than a pig, and he saw the opportunity at a glance.
Therefore, rather than mobilizing all young people to the front line, he naturally tends to guide them to the factory to work.
Therefore, after referring to the alliance's suggestions, Abusaike divided Baixiang City, located in the middle of the Bharat Province, into a central industrial zone, investing a full third of the fiscal budget to build railways and power grids in the local area, and at the same time focused on the development of heavy industries such as steelmaking, chemicals, and heavy machinery manufacturing, in order to complement the industrial zones of Huzhou, Leopard and Rowell in the future.
Compared with the fragile farming economy of the Bharat Kingdom, this is undoubtedly a grand project.
But if this plan can be achieved, local survivors may really have hope of igniting the flames of industry and getting rid of the embarrassment that even bicycles have to be imported from the Port of King Gallon.
And this is also beneficial to the league.
In the context of some feudal lords, cake is an eternal thing. The more people you cut, the less everyone can get.
However, there is another context in this world. In this context, the cake is not born, but something that can be made bigger and bigger.
As long as you don’t slash randomly, there is always a way to get everyone a little, at least not cut less and less.
Just as this ancient empire was slowly awakening, the officers on the front line of the Southern Legion were also completely awakened.
They gradually realized the horror of the alliance.
It is not only because of the high fighting will of those volunteers, but also because the high fighting will be contagious like a virus, and the locals have become beasts that require them to do their best to deal with.
As the airship was destroyed by unknown weapons, General Gulyon established a spy agency composed of locals in the name of Akbar to investigate the five crashed airships.
At the same time, Captain Ryan Wan, who served as the commander of the Eastern Front, completely changed his previous aggressive offensive strategy, and his strategic style became a steady and steady attack.
The most obvious point is that he voluntarily gave up the hills on the northeast side of Akale County, retreated from the bend of the river to the border between Shizhou and Niuzhou, dug up trenches, and built artillery towers and bunkers.
Doing so is equivalent to giving up the flood plains that were previously under the control of the Southern Legion.
For the Southern Legion, this means that their blitzkrieg and the clamor of the two-month destruction of the rebels have completely declared bankruptcy.
However, on the other hand, they can consolidate their positions to make the supply line in the rear more stable and avoid being infiltrated and harassed by the guerrillas of the Bharat and the Mammoth Kingdom.
This is obviously not a good thing for the Bharat country, which is at a disadvantage.
On the one hand, this shows that the Southern Legion has begun to take serious care, and it is not so easy for them to get a bargain.
On the other hand, the Southern Legion has begun to consciously digest the territory it has occupied and is trying to turn the occupied area into its own territory.
However, in contrast, the army of the Bharat Kingdom became more and more mature in the continuous battle, and many outstanding generals were born during this period.
For example, Isher, the 30th-1000-man team.
For example, the 110,000-man team leader Yokale, etc.
Especially Isher, this guy was particularly honored to receive the nickname of the Jungle Rat given to the Willant people and a reward of 1 million dinars.
This guy is as cunning as a mouse, applying guerrilla and psychological warfare to the point of being superb.
The Willant officer who fought with him even said that he could fire two cannons with one cannon.
Give him a 10-man team, which he can use as a 100-man team, especially in jungles and hills, which is hard to defend!
Another who won the Willant title is Captain Pickley of the 700,000th Man.
But he became popular not because of his outstanding record, but because of a photo published in the Survivor Daily.
The soldiers of the Willant people privately called it the Butcher.
Compared to Isher, his nickname is obviously much more domineering, and he has even been on the Southern Legion Victory News.
In the matter of Muqiang, the Wirants actually have many similarities with the Brahmins.
Compared to the Jungle Rat who is good at conspiracy, the grassroots soldiers and officers of the Legion obviously appreciate the ten thousand men who charge with bayonets.
Even if the head held in his hand belongs to their compatriots, it does not hinder their appreciation of the strong.
After all, in the jungle culture concept of the strong as respect, there is actually another layer of metaphor
That is, weak people are not worthy of being called compatriots.
They would be indignant of the massacre that took place at the Port of West Sail, because that was contempt and humiliation of the abstract concept of the Willant.
However, the suffering of a particular person or a certain type of person will only bring them ridicule.
This has nothing to do with the quantity, after all, the number of 40,000 is much greater than three thousand no matter how it is calculated.
That night, every Willant soldier who died or surrendered as a loser received no honor, only shame and ridicule...
As both sides showed their true abilities, the entire war fell into a stalemate.
There are many things happening every day on the front line, but for people outside the front line, it seems like nothing happens.
It was soon August, and the sultry rainy season gradually came to an end. Waiting for another two months will be the dry season.
At this moment, a fleet from the Coast of Death approached Yong Night Harbor, the southernmost part of the Great Desert.
And the change here is so great that Yarman almost mistakenly thinks that he has come to the wrong place.
