The capital of the Krurod Empire, the Congress Hall of Sugui City

Bourne: “As the enemy’s civil strife gradually intensifies, our army is about to launch a battle to completely regain Apo Island.”

Envilla: “A battle will determine life or death?”

Bourne: “It’s not that exaggerated, but it’s almost the same. And according to the investigation of the intelligence department, more and more rebel forces have appeared in the Takagi Kingdom. As a result, the current Akitsu Empire temporarily does not have a sufficient number of servants to maintain the front line.”

Envira: “It looks like someone is working very hard to make this work.”

Lux: “It is much better than no news. What’s more, the essence of the Akitsu Empire is not in the army, but in their naval fleet. However, Bourne.”

Bourne: “In this regard, it’s actually not bad. After all, the Akitsu Empire relies too much on the servant army to solve problems. As a result, the main force of the Akitsu Empire’s navy is actually ships operated by the Kuroge. Especially their small submarine, this submarine is operated by the Kuroge. The equipment is capable of launching a suicide charge when the situation is most dangerous.”

Lux: “Suicide submarine? I remember that the crew on a submarine requires special training. And I used to be a sailor in a submarine, so I know how to fight on a submarine…”

Bourne: “Lux, this is where the black-haired kobolds are great. Their small submarine only has one crew member, and the diving depth is not very deep.”

Envilla: “Don’t tell me that this submarine was produced just to explode.”

Bourne: “The black-haired kobolds are like this. Their country, the Takagi Kingdom, has always been like this,”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the Congress couldn’t help but shook their heads.

Because the Takagi Kingdom, as a monarchy with rebellious ministers seeking to usurp the throne and exiled the original monarch, has a variety of very cruel laws and regulations.

Especially today’s royal family of the Takagi Kingdom. These former rebellious ministers are very afraid that other people will follow their example. They will find some reason or reason to oust themselves from power, and then put the crown on their heads and become their majesty the king.

Therefore, today’s Takagi Kingdom has quite a lot of torture to scare the people to prevent them from rebelling.

However, even now King Junwu has begun to use cannons to publicly execute rebels, but the people who dare to rebel are not even afraid of death, and being killed by cannons will only lead to a more helpless consequence.

That is, the will of the rebels to fight is getting stronger day by day, so much so that they often take no prisoners during the battle, and even commit bloody acts of wanton killing.

For example, officials who tried to suppress or eliminate their own officials and their families were impaled with bamboo poles; other counter-rebellion soldiers who came to deal with them were skinned alive, and then roasted at high temperatures on the stove.

In short, in a country like the Takagi Kingdom that is filled with all kinds of violence and has a strong history of looting, various styles of resorting to force have become a certain consensus.

Of course, this is also an important reason why the Takagi Kingdom has never been able to become stronger.

As for tactics such as suicide attacks, Bourne himself didn’t know whether to admire or despise them.

A small submarine operated by a single soldier is replaced by a large warship.

Although it sounds like this deal is worth it, very worthwhile, and it fully meets the basic military needs for victory, but Byrne absolutely does not believe that any soldier in his right mind would easily agree to such a mission, and then drive a submarine to carry out self-destruction tactics.

This is treating soldiers’ lives as a trifling matter and is one of the biggest crimes against soldiers. Moreover, this can easily lead to mutiny in the troops and trigger a greater crisis.

Not to mention that the information Bourne is now distributing to other officials in Congress includes other war vehicles for suicide attacks and different types of self-explosion vests.

Envira: “It seems that the black-haired kobold doesn’t want to live anymore.”

Lux: “They should not have been alive in the first place, especially when they were expelled from the Elsa continent in order to seek settlement in the new continent. If it were not for the civil strife in the Iron Fist Empire at that time, all of these kobolds would have been skinned alive, and then Put them on wooden stakes as warning signs or behead them all to build a mountain of heads.”

Senagu: “Who allowed them to plunder the border residents of the Iron Fist Empire for many years, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties among the border residents every year. If I were a citizen of the Iron Fist Empire, I would have chopped these guys up with knives and fed them to the fish.”

Just as Senagu said, as one of the main forces that invaded the Crurod Empire, the black-haired kobolds have taken violent looting as their racial pride since the beginning of their civilization.

In their eyes, the criterion for judging everything is whether they are obedient or not. Those who disobey will be killed.

Of course, how to kill him is an internal problem of the black-haired kobold. After all, it would be better to send some unlucky ones who committed crimes directly to the execution ground for execution than to send them directly to the battlefield to die gloriously. At least this sounds like a much better reputation, and the relatives of the unlucky guy will get a pension.

Although the denomination of this pension is definitely not high, it is even very likely to be embezzled. However, who wouldn’t want a better reputation?

But then again, the aggressiveness of the black-haired kobolds, their tendency to bully the weak, and their barbaric ethos of ruthlessly killing civilians doomed them to not have a bright future.

Bourne: “In short, that friend named Dayang has a good plan. If this continues, the Akitsu Empire will lose the cannon fodder support of the servant countries, and it will be difficult to fully control our current occupied areas.”

Envira: “So…”

Bourne: “As long as the plan succeeds, I can consider giving up my seat to him.”

It’s clear that Byrne is not an official who doesn’t show his voice. In response, the officials naturally smiled and nodded.

Envilla: “Yeah. Then, alas! Although it may be a bit strange for me to say it, I still have to say it. Regarding the female employment rate, I, uh, everyone should publicize it more, otherwise, we will all have to become soldiers. , working hard on the front line.”

Senagu: “Nwela, the Ministry of Education here has worked very hard. If we want to increase the employment rate of women, education is an inescapable hurdle. Moreover, I am ready to complete the plan for the girls’ school, specifically Approval of schools suitable for women’s career development.”

Envira: “It’s not the kind of bridal academy, right?”

Senagu: “You can make fun of other officials like this, but I, absolutely, no, will, do this. After all, everyone knows that I have a rich man here who spends money, plus I have always advocated this aspect. Therefore, I started from the textile school and promoted it step by step. Of course, due to the fact that many men in our country have been transferred, I hope you can agree with one thing. Entrepreneur appears?”

Lux: “You want to say this… Her Majesty the Queen is a case. Have you heard about the opinions of us here? But we can’t be too concerned about this matter now. It’s time for us to change some things.”

Although Lux did not tell everything, everyone who could sit in the Congress chamber knew it. First of all, who else is the so-called rich man? Dai Zelen, the current Emperor of the Crurod Empire. He is the only one in the entire country who can make large investments in the Ministry of Education in his own name. At the same time, Senagu, as a former republican, agreed with the bill to strengthen female enrollment and employment during the Pa-O Republic.

It’s just that compared to the resumption and second implementation of the old case of Senagu, the society of the Krorod Empire, which has a strong color of male superiority and female inferiority, has always been quite resistant to the gradual control of economic power by women.

In this regard, change is the inevitable path to take.

But how much changes need to be made is a headache for Senagu officials. Although many things or dissatisfactions can be temporarily suppressed due to the war, this does not mean that they will not appear again in the future. Moreover, if the policies of the Pa-O Republic period are to be implemented again in the now rebuilt Krurod Empire, this requires the cooperation of society. Sooner or later, the laws that the people resist will be revoked one day, or even be completely sent to float in the long river of history…
