The Origin of Arcane
Chapter 363: Food crisis
Open source also starts from two aspects.
On the one hand, the land is cultivated and cultivated, in a posture of preparing for the spring cultivation in the coming year.
Why didn't Akmeser know that this method was too long-term, not to mention that the surrounding area of Brother Port could not be reclaimed to support 200,000 troops. Even if it was reclaimed, they would not be able to sustain the first wave of grain harvest.
But they still have to do this, that is, use this method to stabilize the military, tell them that they have a long-term plan to overcome the difficult situation in front of them, if they show too much panic, how can they make the bottom of their minds at ease?
Secondly, it also has the effect of distracting the soldiers. It is better to do something than to do nothing.
On the other hand, Akmesser aimed at the most abundant aquatic resources in the Despair Swamp. Most of the few warships of the Kingsley family became fishing boats, and they began to try to catch fish in order to delay the food shortage.
But the effect is not ideal.
Fishing is also a technical activity. The Carthusian commander is mainly mountainous. The soldiers from here are mostly ducks, who can't even swim, let alone fish.
The Eternal Night Army leader will not sit back and watch them relieve their pressure. The Eternal Night Army leader’s assault ship and the crocodile tribe’s miniature ship frequently attack.
Nor does it go to full-scale war with them, just keep harassing them so that they can't get a fish.
Needless to say, the throttling is just picking up grain from the mouth of one's own soldiers.
The Kingsley family conquest army has now begun to implement a food rationing system in an all-round way.
All the food was collected and guarded by the elite guardian that Akmeser trusted most.
Even the supreme commander, Akmeser, takes the lead every day to receive only half-filled food, let alone the people at the bottom.
"This is not the way to go, morale is inherently low. If you continue to have no more food, for a long time, even if it does not collapse on its own, when the enemy pushes up, we will not have the strength to resist." Sir Klester the fox said Kemerser said in advance.
"Does Sir Sir have any good ideas?" Akmeser asked rhetorically.
"It's really a bit of a stopgap, I don't know if it's inappropriate to say it." Sir Klester hesitated somewhat.
"What time is it now, there are no taboos, as long as it is beneficial to us, we can say." In less than a month, Akmeser was full of dazzling blond hair, half of which turned gray. It can be seen that during this time, his The pressure is great.
"Your Majesty, it will be difficult to get results for a while. Before that, we can only rely on ourselves. We still have to figure out a solution from the Eternal Night Commander and the Crocodile Clan..." Sir Crest analyzed clearly.
"Continue!" Akmeser was expressionless, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
"Those crocodile people and civilians, use them to negotiate with the Yongye army leader and allow them to redeem them with a ransom. We only accept food." Sir Klester said, "You can do this by doing so. It can also reduce the burden and avoid causing more disturbances."
"It is indeed a way, but the Yongye military leader is afraid that he won't?" Akmesser showed a heartbeat expression.
After repeated consumption, they still have a lot of cannon fodder from the Crocodile in their hands, no more, no more, nearly 20,000.
The reason why cannon fodder is called cannon fodder is because they will not be treated as human beings. They are at the forefront of the most dangerous things. The usual supplies are the worst, and they barely starve.
After taking Brother Port, it means that they have no use value, even the pitiful normal supplies have been cancelled, and if they are done well, there will be some leftovers from other troops, and in the end they even have no use.
Because the other troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army have started to supply limited amounts of food, how can they be willing to waste a grain when they can’t even fill their stomachs?
Pots and pans are cleaner than dogs licked, and any bit of oil will be snatched into the stomach.
Those crocodile civilians are now at the bottom of the abyss of despair, and don't know how much they have died of freezing and starvation.
Had it not been for Sir Klester's reminder, Akmeser, the Supreme Commander, hadn't thought of them.
"The appetite of the Yongye Army leader is greater than ours. Not only does he want to eat the Despair Swamp, but he also wants to eat the Crocodile Clan. They pay great attention to the maintenance of this aspect. They are afraid that they care more about these crocodiles than the elders of the Crocodile Clan. As long as the marshal nodded, they would not refuse the life and death of the civilians. I am willing as a messenger to go to the leader of the Yongye Army to discuss this matter." Sir Klester's analysis of the leader of the Yongye Army is as thorough as ever.
"No." Akmesser shook his head and rejected Sir Klester's proposal.
"Why?" Sir Klester was stunned, obviously he did not expect that the other party would reject his proposal. "This matter is good for both parties. Regardless of how much food is exchanged, it can effectively alleviate the current crisis. You can even use this as capital to threaten Yongye's leader and gain more privileges..."
"Sir, don’t worry, wait for me to finish." Akmesser’s tight face finally showed his first smile in these days. "Your proposal is okay. Not only is there no problem, but even It opens up a whole new situation for us, but something needs to be changed slightly."
"What is going to change a little bit?" Sir Klester asked questioningly.
"I'm afraid I didn't have a business, right?" Akmeser asked rhetorically.
"No, that's a profession for bankrupts. Although I have been displaced, I have never worried about money." A trace of embarrassment flashed through Sir Klester's eyes.
The upheaval after being expelled from the family was the most embarrassing thing in the past for Sir Klester, and the scar that he least wanted to be mentioned.
Ackermesser's question was obviously somewhat reflective.
What people have lost is what they want to make up for.
Sir Crest has lost his inheritance rights, so he has been pursuing the title for most of his life. Even when there is no title, he behaves more like a jazz than a normal jazz.
The trade of businessman is worse than the farmer, he would rather starve to death than engage in it.
But Akmeser's next words let him know that he is a bit nervous, "Those businessmen, in order to obtain more profits, will artificially affect the market, for example, when the materials are abundant and the prices are low, they eat a lot. When food and materials are scarce, they sell at high prices. The worse the scarcity, the higher the price they sell. This is also the reason for negotiation. If we take the initiative to send it to the door, we will become very weak and fall into a passive state. Come here, allocate a certain amount of supplies to the Crocodile Slave Barracks. The amount will be allocated one-third of the other barracks without any deductions. Starting tomorrow, I will personally check the number of Crocodile Slave Soldiers."
Akmeser obviously knew the virtues of the soldiers below, if he didn't show the importance of this matter.
Those quartermasters dared to secretly lay hands on the food allocated to the crocodile slave barracks. As soon as it changed hands, it was in the hands of other troops. The crocodile slave barracks would not get a grain. Introductory.
Of course, this is not free, and the food recipients must pay a certain price. Even if the food is not publicly traded, it is always meaningful.
This situation will become more and more serious with the passage of time for the army's shortage of food.
Even if he showed his importance now, the Crocodile Clan slave barracks would not get the full amount of food, at most they would just pretend to be, and there would be fewer people starving to death.
Although Akmeser knew this situation well, he could only close one eye.
Because it involves a lot, not only the local lord and nobles led by the Carter army, but also many of his own cronies are involved.
Only when someone supports him can he hold the position of commander-in-chief?
However, this does not mean that Akmeser will blindly indulge them. If they don't know that enough is enough, in order to maintain the overall stability of the East Army, he said that he must not open a massacre and eliminate a group.
In the case of complete isolation, the disadvantages are not all, but there are still one or two advantages.
Akermesser now has the highest power of life and death in the Eastern Army. Even if there is a book about flying eagles, Duke Buck does not dare to question Akermesser's order easily.
Because it is more difficult for Akermesser to bring the Eastern Army out of the ditch than it is to bring it into the ditch.
Archduke Buck now has no way to restrain Akermesser, the only thing he can pinpoint is the bond of family loyalty, and he must give Akermesser 100% trust, whether it is true or pretended.
If anyone dared to make any slander about Akmeser's unfaithfulness to Duke Buck at this time, Duke Buck would personally chop him off immediately.
Grand Duke Buck knew this, and Akmeser knew this too.
Akmeser did not dominate because of this, but became more cautious, not letting anyone handle it.
Was he really not expecting to trade the cannon fodder of the Crocodile with the leader of Yongye?
I'm afraid that he will not see it. He has been thinking about it all this time. With such an obvious group of people, it is impossible for him to fail to see it.
But the problem is that he took the initiative to make contact with the Yongye army leader, for fear of touching the hearts of a group of people.
Therefore, even if you have such considerations in your mind, you must wait for the special staff of the Grand Duke Barker like Sir Klester to bring them forward.
Because once they proposed it, it meant that they had reached a consensus with Grand Duke Buck in advance, and then he would go ahead and take advantage of the situation.
Of course, whether there are such political considerations in this, only Akmeser himself knows. Anyway, he is behaving like Sir Klester waking up the dreamer.
Sir Klester is a clever man who knows everything. He instantly understood Akmeser’s intentions. He couldn’t help holding his thumb and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, look forward and have a better strategy. You can really master more by doing this. Take the initiative, but how do we make sure that the leader of Yongye takes the initiative to take the bait? We can't afford to delay it now. If we start negotiations one day later, we will trade one day later, and our food will consume one more cent."
"Your Excellency, haven't you already said it? The Eternal Night Army leader cares more about the life and death of these cannon fodder than the crocodile tribe? Then let go. In order to save food, we plan to slaughter these useless civilians. If they return Not in a hurry, I pushed a part to the river, and cut it in front of the Yongye army leader and the Crocodile tribe, and see if they are not in a hurry." Akmesser said with a cold face.
"High, really high." All Sir Klester can do is continue to give his thumbs up.
In terms of cruelty, he is not a bit worse than Akmeser, who has been in charge for many years. The same strategy came out of the two people's mouth, and there was an immediate difference in the pattern.
Sir Klester is more inclined to political tactics, but Akmeser is an out-and-out military offensive and defensive method.
"If there are no other opinions, let's proceed." Akmesser ignored Sir Klester's flattery. No matter how much he eats, he feels comfortable at best.
Just as the Kingsley family was intensively preparing to get the Yongye Army leader to negotiate with them.
The Yongye Army leader had already fought over this issue for several days, and it was not the Crocodile Elder Council who took the initiative to raise this issue, but the Yongye Army leader's military staff.
As Sir Crest just said, the leader of the Eternal Night not only wants to eat the swamp of despair, but also wants to eat the crocodile people in one bite. As long as the conditions are available, they will find ways to establish a positive image of the crocodile people.
The cannon fodder of the crocodile tribesmen detained by the Kingsley family's army is undoubtedly an opportunity.
These people who have been suffering for a long time know the value of life and are more grateful, especially for those who rescued them.
"That's our tens of thousands of people. We have a responsibility to rescue them from fire and water." The views expressed by the main chief of staff, Kelman, represent the views of his military staff.
"How to save? Negotiate with the Kingsley family? Order them to be released unconditionally? Do you think it is possible? What kind of request do you think they will make if they are exchanged for benefits? Let them cross the river? Or for food? Or more A non-partial request?" It was an elder of the Crocodile Clan who questioned him. "I think the safest thing is to keep the current situation unchanged. Let them be exhausted first. Then they will come to the door and let's open. They have to promise whatever conditions."
"Do you still have humanity?" General Tagore couldn't help concealing his anger, shouting loudly, "There may be your clan among them. Do you think the Kingsley family cares about their life and death? Haven't waited until the general The Kingsley family is in desperate situation. Those people are afraid that they are dead and clean, so what else to talk about? This kind of thing is early and not too late."
"I did this just for the sake of my people. For the sake of the overall situation, I must abandon the interests of a small group of people. This is what you taught me when you defended the city, General. Why do you forget now?" The elder named Manuel struck his neck.
This elder of the Crocodile tribe with all white beard and hair is known to make Yong Yejun a headache.
It seems that every time I was working against the leader of the Yongye Army ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ When he was on the wall of Brothers Port, when he questioned why Tagore didn't open the city gate to save the driven crocodile tribes cannon fodder.
Now he turned around and blocked the Yongye Army leader's proposal to rescue the cannon fodder from the Kingsley family, and blocked the Yongye Army leader by teaching him what he had said when the Yongye Army commanded the city.
If you simply think that Elder Manuel is targeting the leader of the Eternal Night, you are very wrong.
His territory is near Brother Port. The tribe is the first and most severely affected by the Yongye Army leader. When the crocodile people retreated, all of his ethnic groups retreated into the Yongye Army leader. He didn't particularly care about whether the Yongye Army leader would annex the Crocodile tribe.
In his own words, he has not had a good life for a few years, and his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he can no longer control so much.
Many times, he was on the side of self-confessing to be correct and axiom. He was still a donkey, stubbornly stubborn, and once a matter was identified, it was difficult to be persuaded.
Now he is firmly standing on the overall situation. In order to finally win the Despair Swamp, dragging the Kingsley family to conquer the East is the first priority, and everything else has to make way for this.
