Chapter 958 The dazzling brilliance of 960The Beast King Ericcia stood outside a gate nervously and walked over with his hands behind his back Walking, it is like a student waiting for his college entrance examination results.
He never thought that there would be such a day in himself that he would be nervous even when he surrendered, because he was afraid that others would not accept his "surrender".
This is a kind of irony for the Orc Empire, which was once so powerful that it didn't even take the Human Magic Empire seriously.
Once upon a time, the bear warrior warrior of the Beastman Race wielded a sharp blade and swept across an army of hundreds of thousands of humans in front of him. That era was the era of Beastman Race...
The current Beastman Race is completely incomparable with humans. Heavenly God gave the Beastman Race a tyrannical physique, loyalty and honor, but not a future.
It's a sad fact that the future of the Beastman Race seems to be completely blocked by human development.
The Beastman Race must give its allegiance to humanity in order to take control of its future, or to have it again.
A few hours ago, he met Chris, the Emperor of the Alanhill Empire, and presented him with credentials, hoping that the Beastman Race could become part of the Alanhill Empire.
To this end, the Beastman Race is willing to give its allegiance, to fight for the emperor of the Alanhill Empire, and to shed blood for this human-dominated nation.
If it was five years ago, maybe this kind of surrender would have excited Chris, but now, he really has no desire to be excited.
After all, there are too many people willing to shed blood for him. Elf Race is willing to fight for him for the Temple of the Moon, and the dwarves are willing to kill the enemy for him in order to gain more technology.
The convicted magician has begun a bloody internal purge in order to regain the emperor's trust, and even the enemy demons have begun to swear allegiance to him.
So the loyalty of Beastman Race, in front of Chris, is just a simple oath. The frustrating thing to say is that the inclusion of Beastman Race doesn't hold much appeal for the Alanhill Empire.
Because of this, the Beast King can only wait here anxiously, waiting for the high-level officials of the Alanhill Empire to discuss a result on how to treat the Beastman Race.
He doesn't know whether his clansman can be recognized by the Alanhill Empire, and he also doesn't know whether the Alanhill Empire, which is so powerful that Dragon Clan is somewhat afraid, will accept such a barbaric orc. power.
Not all the ministers in the room were in favor of eating the greasy-looking cake of Beastman Race.
At least from an economic point of view, building a barren Beastman Race territory is much more troublesome than building a new puppet area or a ruined Norma area.
"The Beastman Race's inclusions are a bit trickier than the Elf Race's." Stryd, the foreign secretary for the Foreign Office, put his hands together and first made his point to Emperor Chris.
He paused for two seconds, then added: "Although we don't have to worry about Dragon Clan's anger, eating Beastman Race now does easily make our relationship with Dragon Clan drop by one more. level."
"Before, the relationship between our two forces has dropped to a freezing point, and now it has fallen below the lowest point. This kind of relationship between the two countries is very fragile and unhealthy." After he finished speaking, he looked towards Chris, as if waiting for Chris to express his opinion.
It's a pity that Chris didn't express his opinion, but turned his attention to an old Elf Race on the other side.
This old man is the second-in-command of the newly appointed grain department of the empire, and the second minister of agriculture of the empire, that is, the Vice-section Head of the Ministry of Agriculture.
The old man's face is full of wrinkles, and he is seventy years old according to human age. It's just because the magical energy reserve in his body is amazing, so he is still very energetic.
He rubbed his dry eyes, and said to Chris in a calm but not high-pitched voice: "The place where they live is very barren, although there are some minerals, but overall, their The residential area lacks food and soil."
In his opinion, the investment in improving the entire orc territory is too great, and it has become so big that Elf Race feels that greening the orc territory is not worth the loss. matter.
"To improve their living conditions, it is necessary to transport a large amount of food and other daily necessities to their territory." The transportation official explained the cost relationship: "The transportation cost will be doubled. Improve, every time we put in a bag of grain there, it is equivalent to wasting another bag of grain."
"In this way, the cost will remain high... Of course, if the local The construction of factories and the investment in infrastructure is also a headache." The expert in industrial development is Minister of Industry Smith, who is not in favor of immediately investing in the construction of industrial projects in the orc territory.
"If we're going to start an industry there, we'll have to build at least 30 thermal power plants there now... The equipment is easy, but everything takes time." He also looked at Chris, hoping to learn from Chris. On his face he saw something.
For the Minister of Industry, Smith, building a power system in a remote, impoverished mountainous area that is not close to economically developed areas is a choice that outweighs the gains.
He would rather put those hours into the construction of the southern region, or directly into plans for a new puppet area.
In this way, these plants can be converted into production capacity immediately after they are built, which is what he wants to see as Minister of Industry.
But if these power plants are built into the orc territory, it will take a lot of time to build supporting infrastructure and power-consuming factories, so as to consume the power of these power plants. Electricity supply.
To put it simply, if you build a power plant in the orc territory, you will need to build ten more factories that produce tractors and lathes and other equipment, and use production to consume the production capacity of this power plant.
And then, these produced equipment and other products, if you want to sell it, you must continue to build roads and railways and other transportation lines to ensure the convenience of transportation in these factories.
When these supporting facilities are completed, we will continue to build suitable housing for the workers in these factories, build a school for children to go to, improve the water system, and build more power stations to meet the city's electricity needs. .
Finally, it is necessary to build supermarkets and shopping malls, build airport train stations... This is equivalent to building a city from start to finish.
With so much effort, Beastman Race's territory may not be able to function normally immediately. They have to adapt for a few months...
With such a long time, if so much energy and materials are invested in the Norma region or the southern region, the return may be ten times more.
In this case, it is difficult for the empire to persuade other big chaebols and consortiums to jointly invest in the construction of orc territories - which also increases the financial burden of the empire.
Unfortunately, Minister Smith didn't see any clues from Chris's face, and the emperor Your Majesty was still calm and listening.
Finally, after everyone stopped talking, Chris adjusted his sitting position. The fingers he tapped on the edge of the table stopped, and he spoke clearly.
He doesn't want to let his subordinates waste time guessing his own mind, because he does not rely on machinations to rule this empire, but absolute power.
"The good news is that we still have time, don't we?" Chris asked Dez, who was sitting next to him, with a smile as everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the Emperor Your Majesty's statement, everyone followed sighed in relief.
Dez nods with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, at least we will focus on economic construction for the next six months..."
For the Alanhill Empire , the war seems to have been a condiment since it started three years ago, and the main course of Alanhill has been economic construction since three years ago.
Alanhill empire is also actively carrying out various scientific experiments while the construction is booming. Because Chris has the tree of technology, in the bones is actually more of a scholar than an emperor.
He is more keen to use technology to improve the living standards of the expert people, so as to dilute the internal contradictions, and then realize the rule of the Alanhill Empire.
His methods are more brilliant and more efficient than those who rely on great power, coercion, or demagogues in the guise of religion.
"Aren't we short of labor? In a short period of time, Beastman Race can provide us with more than 400,000 labor. These young laborers can greatly alleviate our labor shortage." Chris continued to ask Dez road.
Dez made a stroke on the information, and nodded said: "There should be about 100,000 orcs. After short-term training, they can be used directly... No matter how many, there is no guarantee."
>"That's not bad!" Chris was very pleased nodded: "I think you all fell into a misunderstanding... Gentlemen! The orcs came to us, and they are now our people..."
“What we need to consider now is not to accept or not accept the surrender of these people, but to consider how to better improve their lives and make them richer.” After Chris finished speaking, he stood up Get up: "Remember, I'm not at all surprised that other races will join Alanhill! Because we will make life better for all people! This is where Alanhill is really powerful!"
"Let's go! Go see your new colleagues! Grand Duke of Orcs... Grand Duke Ericcia!" Chris generously settled on Ericcia's title, took the lead to the door, and pushed open the door of the Conference Hall.
Ericcia, who was nervously waiting outside the door, saw the door being pushed open, and a beam of light passed over the silhouette of the person who pushed the door, shining on his face, full of Dazzling brilliance.
