Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

Looking at the men and women standing head-to-head outside the car window, Roland's chest was constantly churning with sadness and anxiety.

Perhaps the politicians of Titans can have fun from the reactions of these people, tasting the “pride and glory that they deserve from a superior race” in their mouths like drinking fine wine, but all he can see from them is endless. Ugly, resentment on the verge of boiling point, seeds of turbulent conflict.

One nation builds its own pleasure on the suffering of another nation. The ugliest behavior in the history of the wise species is that the judgment of extreme racism by his own historical mentor actually happened to human beings. I really don’t know to let him What to say.

The Castilians’ reactions made him even more anxious. On the surface, Titans’ slogan: “Order is obtained by collective shooting” seems to have passed the argument. The proud Castilians were punished by stakes and Succumbed in front of the mass grave. They behave like a group of real slaves, knowing how to please the brutal master. But Roland knew very well that this was nothing but a disguise, and under the appearance of wood and meekness, it was an endless sense of struggle.

47 soldiers; 21 non-commissioned officers; 6 school officers; Major General Kurache, commander of the army stationed in the army; 33 officials at the village and town level. This is the number of SAR military and political personnel assassinated within 1 month last month. Even the interim Governor Viscount Bruno was found stabbed to death in the bedroom.

In response to the Castilian resistance, Titans responded with a stronger and high-pressure policy: hostage gun resolution, continuous sitting system, strategic village, mass graves, mopping up, and clearing the town of Titans in St. Esteban The activities done by the Crown Colleagues were perfected and applied to the occupied area of ​​Castile. There are gallows and guillotine everywhere. The death penalty is executed every day. The Castilians responded with even more fierce anti-retaliation...

It is no longer appropriate to use the flames to describe the Sarbad District.

The chaos in public security directly led to the economic depression and the rise in the unemployment rate. In turn, the unemployed population without food and clothing became a reserve for the rebels. This has become a vicious circle. The economic policies of the occupying army authorities have raised this vicious circle to a whole new level.

Titan's occupation policy is easy to plunder.

All the resources that can be seized in the occupied area, whether it is finished products or raw materials, factories or mines, are just a list of numbers on the robbery list. Those who can be transported back to Charlemagne are packed away, and those who cannot be transported back are handed over to the consortium and the important members of Titans.

This plunder not only caused heavy losses to the Castilians, but also directly depleted the revenue sources of the occupying forces. Due to economic distress. The occupation authorities engaged in the activities of the enclosure. Under the leadership of the National Guard, a large number of Titans troops dispatched horse race enclosures to drive farmers away from the land cultivated for generations.

The process of land occupation is generally as follows: First, with the assistance of rifles and field artillery, the residents are forcibly driven out of the house. Then a well-dressed legal officer took out the document. Announced that this land is illegally occupied. The peasants are "bandits" and should have been convicted and hanged. But Wang Jun was "benevolent" and decided to pardon these "bandits". Now they must leave with 15 kilograms of luggage. The next step is to set the house on fire, and occasionally engage in activities such as adultery.

Of course, not all Wang Jun who pretends to be a "preeminent race" like to burn "performing arts" such as residential houses and prostitutes, and "fair law enforcers" will also put "bandits" in prison and then set prices. Let the family members bribe the ransom. As for the farmhouses that are so desperate, they are selling children and selling women as prostitutes. Wang Jun is not interested in understanding. Anyway, money and women are sent by others "voluntarily", you do not want to go to court.

But this kind of bone-peeling and bone-peeling exploits still can't meet the needs, so Titans's intelligent intellectuals have come up with new tricks to collect taxes only cash, not food! In addition, the food is purchased by the occupation authorities, and the whole family of privately sold food is dead!

On the surface, it doesn't seem too much. Without a strategic reserve system like Yalfheim, collecting food as a tax is a very uneconomical thing. It is easy to rot, the price fluctuates greatly, and it is not comparable to precious metal currencies. As for the unified national acquisition, it is also easy to understand that the economy of the colony is of course directly managed by the authorities, such as grain, salt, mineral resources, etc. are all officially operated to prevent price fluctuations from causing civil panic.

But after careful investigation, there are more cats in it.

The official controls both the acquisition and the pricing power. The quality of the food received and the weight of the food are the sole responsibility of the official. It is almost certain to be short of the catty and to be better in order. Even more powerful is to bribe the officials to check, otherwise the food will not be checked, collected, or sold privately. When the tax is collected, if the tax is not paid, it will be sent to jail, and the tax and cap will be released.

It's really hard to be able to toss out such a complicated and meticulous means of exploitation. Titans' muscle warriors with muscles in their heads...

Corrupt officials are rampant, the military leaders are in power, and the people are hot. The assassination incidents are endless. It is such a mess before Roland.

Precisely because the occupied area is already rotten and will not become Prince Shire's enclave, Prince Bernard is willing to give it to Roland, and Roland himself has no opinion on this.

If you want others to accept your ideas, you have to come up with actual things.

This is a mantra that Li Lin often talks about, and it is a universal truth. Except for students who read about the lack of oxygen in their heads, no one will use the mouth and gun as an artifact with no disadvantage. Similarly, if Roland wants others to accept his ideas, he must pass a certain degree of verification to prove that he is correct and reasonable. And the more extensive the claims, the more evidence they must provide.

A colonial special zone on the verge of collapse and riots makes it prosperous and peaceful. This is the evidence that Roland is going to create, and he has already been psychologically prepared for this.

"Sure enough, you have to stop the war first."

Looking through the various reports provided by the consortium, Roland murmured in a low voice.

Charlie Man’s extremely stupid occupation policy is the root cause of all problems. The resulting short-sighted behavior not only intensified the conflict between the occupying army and the indigenous people, but also severely damaged the local economic cycle. Although the current picture of various resources and wealth constantly being transported back to China seems to be that Charlemagne has obtained huge benefits, it will only be a matter of time before the negative impact will deflect Charlemagne itself.

However, the other side of the coin is the objective demand of the army's expedition. Railway transportation alone has been unable to meet the consumption rate of the front line. It is bound to require the collection and transportation of various materials required by the various front lines from the occupied area. Therefore, the occupation policy is foolish and unreasonable, but it is in line with military needs. To carry out reforms, we must first stop the demand in this area.

In other words, it must try to end the war.

It sounds incredible. But the development of the situation is moving in this direction.

Until the hot month. Titans has advanced to the front line of Pontevedra Guadalajara Castries, the richest part of Castile is owned by Charlemagne, and the vanguard advances to the east of Ursalia. At 50 kilometers, the town of Guadalajara on the banks of the Henares. Controlling this place can establish links between the various forces. It can also surround Ursalia.

To overcome this. Titans invested 5 divisions in one breath. Including the "Ustasha" division led by Colonel Pavelic, the "Cetnik" division of Colonel Mihailovich, the "Black Shirt" division and the "Black Flame" division under the command of Major General Roata. In addition to a National Guard infantry division with flanking cover, 30 iron-clad floating assault ships provide air support.

It seems that there is no suspense in attacking a small town with a military of this scale, but Roland does not think so.

Fingers lightly touched the edge of the paper, and the document turned to the next page.

The so-called column refers to any kind of military organization larger than the "hundreds". It can be at the battalion, regiment, or brigade level. There are few division-level columns. There are similar "combat groups" in the defense army. It's not strange to Roland. What made him more concerned about the "international" prefix.

Patriots, anti-imperialists, anarchists, republicans, socialists, activists, atheists, adventurers... The personnel composition can be described as diverse and extremely complex. The nationality is the same: Albion, Irene, Aruba, Serres, Crown Collar, Osttoria, Moravia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Ymir, La Plan, there are even "Volunteer Soldiers" in the Principality!

The title of "International Column" really deserves its name.

It is not clear what the combat effectiveness of the "multinational force", which speaks different languages, uses different weapons, and has uniform uniforms, but from the data point of view, most people are experienced veterans or those with special skills. The young man is well-trained, highly motivated, and extremely hostile to Charlemagne. If you underestimate this volunteer army, I am afraid that Titans will kick the iron plate.

What's more, this unprecedented "volunteer army" can appear on the front line of Castile, which itself represents the attitude of various countries.

(‘I don’t plan to start a full-scale war right now, but if it’s a proxy war, we’ll accompany it to the end’. That’s almost it.)

Regardless of the outcome of the battle between the international column and Titans, there is such a posture, and arrogance like Titans also has to consider whether Castile’s barren south is worth their bloodshed. Coupled with the tight form of the occupied area, the garrison expenses and the cost of security wars are rising, they are bound to stop their pace and turn around to cope with the rampant rear.

Charlemagne has reached the extreme, Castilla has also retreated to the extreme, no one can win, now waiting for someone to come out as a mediator.

Peace is not far away. Once the war is over, the "military needs" expenditure will be reduced a lot, and the taxation can also be reduced. The Governor's Mansion and ordinary people can take a breath.

However, this is just a degree of breathing. The SAR cannot achieve real prosperity and tranquillity without fundamentally reversing the backward economic structure and changing the tax system and officialdom where malpractices abound. However, reform is bound to touch the interests of some people. These people will unscrupulously obstruct and destroy the reform, and deal with these people more trouble than the reform itself.

Not to mention, among the many obstacles, there are two Titans and consortiums that cannot be ignored.

Needless to say, Titans, as a newly established military organization, along with the successes, arrogance and bureaucratic habits took root within the organization. Behaviors such as "Xia Ke Shang" are examples, while meddling in local affairs, private taxation, and excessive taxation are another.

After trying all kinds of illegal acts and gaining a lot of benefits from it, and not being banned and punished for it. Titans has taken the law and morals less seriously, and even considers his violations to be legitimate rights.

With this kind of thinking, I like to use a pistol rather than a head to solve problems. I have toes to think and know, when this group of people knows what will happen when someone breaks their financial path, what will they do.

The consortium's attitude is relatively mild, and tacit approval of reforms is also happy to see the economic prosperity of the new territory, but it also sets a bottom line.

The salary of Castile workers is one-fifth of that of Charlemagne workers, the eight-hour working system, and the overtime wage is three times the normal hourly wage. Depending on the situation, technical schools can be established to teach workers to read and read, and arrange regular periods for skilled workers. Physical examination to solve some life difficulties for them.

A very gentle bottom line is nothing like the bottom line that "typical capitalists" like Li Lin would propose.

Except for underpaid.

"Don’t take too much steps, if they are paid equal to Charlemagne workers, what is the point of hiring them on relatively mild terms? What’s more important is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is necessary for corrupt officials and warlords to cooperate with you. If you are too kind to the workers, they will violate the interests of these people. They will resist your governance, even if the SAR is paralyzed and even a serious armed conflict erupts. . If it becomes like that, I will get you back before Richelieu speaks."

The warning Li Lin made before he set off again came up, and Roland couldn't help smiling.

The adoptive father said these words for his consideration, but the selfishness of the consortium is also among them. According to the consortium’s plan, this new territory will become a dumping ground for commodities and a place to produce cheap labor. As long as these two goals are not touched, the consortium is willing to remain silent on the reform and provide various support. On the contrary, before the warlords start, Li Lin will personally Close the SAR manually.

The opponent blocked in front is so powerful, and Roland, who has always been optimistic, is also stunned by the difficult weight.

but

"Can't do it..."

Speaking as if it were self-deprecating words, there was no complaint and embezzlement in the tone, and the screens were opened to look at the purple pupils of the far away Governor's Mansion from which a firm color emerged. (To be continued...)
