The light rain at the beginning of summer kept pattering down, which is very common for Gafla, and it also brought some troubles to people's lives.

What bothers me is not the rain. In the island country of Gafra, rain is as common as finding a place to sit down in the afternoon, ordering a cup of coffee and a snack.

What bothers them is the change in temperature.

Because this is the beginning of summer, the temperature changes before and after the rain are a little big, and a temperature difference of more than ten degrees will make people catch a cold.

A cold is not a minor disease, and many people lose their lives because of it every year.

There was already a long queue outside the pharmacy on the street, and His Excellency the Prime Minister quickly turned his attention away from those.

He was sitting in the car, just finished talking with some big nobles, and was walking towards the prime minister's residence.

There was a little traffic jam on the road, and the whole of Gefra seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, even though the rain had stopped and the sun had come out.

This dark cloud is not a dark cloud in the true sense, but a shadow, the shadow of war, the shadow of changes in this world.

The Pengjieao Group continued to go south through the Homer Corridor, and the news of the expansion of the third front had come back, and the nobles didn't seem to care too much about it.

At the meeting just now, they all thought that the Peng Jieao military group's southward move was to plunder more war resources!

Some people even think that this is a symbol of the decline of Penteio's military clique!

On the first day of their fight with the Federation in Nagalil, both sides scrapped a lot of ordnance, and Peng Jieo hurriedly assembled troops to go south, after all, it was for ore.

They did not agree with the Prime Minister's statement of "going south and west to approach Gafferaben Island", and believed that the Prime Minister's statement was only one of many possibilities.

If the Peng Jieao military group really wants to rely on opening up the central region of the southern continent and directly obtain the westernmost outlet to reach the goal of landing on Gefraben Island, then this story can only be said to be too boring!

From the Homer Corridor to the area suitable for landing on Gafferaben Island, the straight-line distance is at least 2,700 kilometers.

It is simply impossible for them to penetrate more than two thousand and seven hundred kilometers!

This is not driving a car on a flat road, no patrols, no other vehicles and troubles, this is war!

It is impossible for the countries encountered along the way and the surrounding countries to let them pass without defense at all.

Diplomacy, war, it may take them several years or even longer to achieve this, but if it really takes that long, the war on the main battlefield may have ended long ago!

The harmonious aristocrats left in the country do not agree with the Prime Minister's idea. In fact, the Prime Minister is also very clear.

Their "disapproval" was not their disapproval of the imaginary he proposed, but their disapproval of him!

He has overthrown the rule of the royal family, and let Gefla usher in a more advanced ruling system. The emperor has become a mascot from above, and the power is firmly grasped by the prime minister's cabinet!

If he still wants to use this thing to do something, many things will be deformed!

People are still waiting for him to announce his resignation and give up the position of prime minister. How can he use "more threatening" topics at this time to win more people's support for him?

The attitude of the nobles made him not know what to say. He felt that it was not a good time for him to leave, and there were still many things that had not stabilized.

What he wants to leave to the people is a stable, peaceful Gefra with opportunities for development and a bright future.

Rather than a broken place that was beaten to pieces.

The car was driving slowly on the road without any bumps. Your Excellency the Prime Minister sighed and closed his eyes.

The uncooperative part of the aristocratic group was kicked out of the island by him, and among those who originally supported him, some stood on the opposite side of him...

He was very tired, he didn't know what he was working so hard for, but he had to persevere.

Because behind this, there is everything worthy of his persistence!

The glory of the empire, the brilliance of our ancestors, our own persistence, ideals and aspirations, and people... Countless people!

Compared with the exhaustion of His Excellency the Prime Minister, Mr. Truman doesn't feel much. For the current Federation, they are already fearless!

"...At present, we have obtained preliminary results from the survey and environmental survey in the north. The good news is that we have discovered a lot of rich mineral resources. The output of these mineral resources is enough to support us to finish this war!"

After listening to Mr. Truman, he wrote and drew in his little notebook for a while. This is indeed good news.

What is fought in war is money, and what is fought is resources.

He didn't quite understand this sentence before. At that time, he was not sitting in the current position, so he didn't quite understand the relationship between war and money.

But after reading Lynch's theoretical books on financial war and sitting in this position, he really realized that war is burning money!

Because anything can be converted into money.

Soldiers can be seen as paying to hire a patriot and paying to arm and train them to meet the minimum standards of warfare.

Then spend money to send them to the battlefield, spend money to cover their wear and tear in the war, and if you are unlucky, spend money to pay a pension to appease the families of the dead soldiers, and then spend money to put them or their Bring back the ashes.

Bullets are money, shells are money, and planes are money!

Everything has something to do with money, and war is fighting for money!

Whoever has more money and a solid foundation will gain an advantage. This is Mr. Truman's more accurate understanding of war.

In addition to money, there is another thing that is very important, that is, resources.

Fortunately, there are many resources in the Federation, and Nagalil also has a lot of rich mineral resources. Now a large number of mineral resources have been discovered in the north, which also solved the last worry in his heart.

The productivity of the whole country is full, and the consumption of resources is too alarming. If the Ministry of Defense has not submitted a report, he would not even be aware of this problem!

If the current intensity of the war continues, the resources of the Federation and Nagalil will not be able to support the terrible production capacity of the whole society for a long time!

It's not that they run out of money, but that some resources can't keep up, such as iron ore, copper ore, especially copper mine, which the Federation lacks!

Fortunately, these problems can be solved, and Mr. Truman also has a question, "How do our opponents solve this problem?"

He leaned back, left the table with one hand, grabbed the pen with the other hand, and played with it casually without any subjective consciousness, "They have a longer history of war than us. The consumption of resources should also be more than ours."

"We destroyed a lot of their ordnance in a few days. If they want to organize production, they must have resources, right?"

"Just casual talk!"

An intelligence officer answered the question.

"Mr. President, there are some dependent countries behind the Penteo Empire, and the ruling class of these dependent countries has essentially joined Penteo."

"But they retained independent countries just to squeeze these countries to a greater extent."

"Apart from that, it also gives them more resources."

"At the same time, the contradictions are blocked outside the national border!"

The set of Peng Jieo Empire is actually not new and not brilliant, but it is very practical!

Some of the dependent countries in the Penteio military group are playing the role of being sucked. Their wealth and resources have been taken away by the core country, leaving only poverty and contradictions.

The people don't completely hate the Penteio Empire, they are more dissatisfied with their own country's leaders.

In this way, the internal contradictions caused by the plunder after annexation can be avoided, and various resources they want can be obtained, and the contradictions are left to themselves.

When there is a need, they can change their strategy, incorporate this part into the empire's system, and turn them into cannon fodder.

Or simply kick them out of the Confederacy and leave them to fend for themselves.

The method is not clever, but it is really practical.

Mr. Truman touched his chin. The Federation couldn't do this, at least not during his tenure.

If you want to lead the world, you must show a gentle and righteous image.

A tyrant cannot rule the world, the only way for a tyrant is to be overthrown!

Mr. Truman blinked, "Then what does this have to do with them going south?"

"I heard a saying that they went south for the resources of the Southern Continent, but Prime Minister Gafla and I talked on the phone, and he talked about a worrying possibility."

"Is there a possibility that the Penteo people will break through a channel through the middle of the southern continent, and land directly on Gefra at the westernmost estuary?"

Because of the support of the federal people, the Amelia battlefield has not made much progress now.

Mr. Truman is actually very clear that the importance of the Ameria battlefield is no less than that of the Nagalil battlefield.

Once Gefra is defeated, the member states of the World Development Council and those neutral countries cannot unite against the Penteio military group, and ultimately the Federation can only fight against this powerful country.

Even if the federation is leading the world in everything~lightnovelpub.net~, it will be difficult to support a single country to fight against half the world.

So this time, the Gefra people wanted money, people, and things. In the end, Mr. Truman reached an agreement without hesitating for too long.

He had to hold Gefra and push them to continue to confront the Penteio military group, so that the main force of the Penteo military group was always scattered on two fronts.

Now the Prime Minister has put forward a new conjecture, which makes Mr. Truman feel a little... tricky.

Once they really do that, it will be difficult for the Federation to intervene in this matter. First of all, the Federation has no way to directly interfere in the politics of these inland countries.

Secondly, even if it is necessary to transport troops, it is difficult to deploy troops to the battlefield in a timely manner.

After all, in terms of the current federal military system, although the army has the largest number of people, its combat strength is indeed not high!

It was difficult for them to intercept Peng Jieao's idea of ​​opening up a new front!
