Rody casually crossed his legs as he sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of tea. "Or does the Parliament have other ideas?"
Konos did not dare to have any other thoughts. He waved his hand in fear. "No, no, no. I just don't understand. There's no more suspense in this war. Isn't it better to just crush them?"
"My goal is to help you take back your territory, not to kill all the enemies, right?"
After saying this, Roddy stood up and stretched. "Well, the war is over. About the arms sale, Senator Konos, you can go back and discuss it with the Parliament. Shall we call it a day?"
"Al … Okay!"
Konos also understood that he had no right to command Roddy. He had long wanted to discuss the matter with the Parliament. Now that he heard Roddy's intention to send him off, he did not continue with the pleasantries. He immediately bowed and left.
Everyone could hear his hurried footsteps as he went down the stairs.
After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the changes that the "cannon" brought to the war. From the beginning to the end, the only casualty was the burn of the cannon barrel. Such a mythical casualty ratio had never been seen by the Rassman mages since the founding of the kingdom.
After waiting for the surroundings to quiet down, Roddy turned around and looked at Naifei. "He's gone. There's no need to put on an act. Sit down and rest. You've been standing for a long time. Are you tired? "
Naifei smiled at Roddy's concern. She sat directly in front of Roddy. "I'm not tired! Brother Roddy, did you deliberately choose this place to let him watch the war below? "
"Yeah, the result of the war is the best advertisement. It also saves me the trouble of talking to him."
"Advertisement? What do you mean? "
"It's to publicize something to a larger audience." Roddy casually explained. Seeing that Naifei wanted to say something, he smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. There's no need to hesitate."
"I'm … curious. Why did you never compromise with the Viper Cross, but now that you've gained the upper hand, you're giving them a chance to surrender?"
Roddy had always given Naifei the impression that he was very decisive. Most importantly, he was very cold when facing the enemy.
"Because our goals are different."
Roddy asked the servant to pour a cup of milk tea for Naifei. He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. "This is not the Kingdom of Karen. Do you understand what I mean?"
Naifei was stunned and rubbed his brows. "I've been here for too long. I've forgotten about this concept …"
If he was in the Kingdom of Karen, Roddy would never show any mercy to the "rebels", "cults", and even "remnants of the royal family". Although these people could not threaten the legitimacy of his regime, they could make the people living in poverty lose their recognition of the "Kingdom of Karen".
If the people of a country lost the most basic recognition of the country they were in, then there was no need to talk about "development" and "strengthening" at all.
"Of course, the other reason is … our army is not here just to fight a war and then leave."
He had discussed the strategy with Kardashian, Sodelor and the others for a long time. Now his explanation was very clear. "In fact, although we are fighting smoothly now, in fact, this kind of 'away battle' will be more difficult in the future. It is impossible for the entire army to be transported here by air. The cost is too high. In the situation where we are outnumbered, we can win by relying on advanced weapons once or twice. But the enemy is not a fool. What if we don't fight head-on in the future? What if we fight in guerrilla warfare all the time? "
Naifei could not believe it. "With such advanced weapons, we still can't win the war?"
"War is just one of the means to achieve my goal. My goal is not to kill all the enemies. To put it bluntly, the enemy's patchwork army attacked Lassiman for the sake of profit. If I tell them that there are more benefits to be shared after peace, do you think they will still be willing to continue fighting?"
How much more advanced was the US army in terms of equipment compared to Vietnam? Except for the atomic bomb, all the other equipment were used. In the end, they were deeply involved in the war and caused a lot of trouble.
Although this analogy could not be used, Roddy was very clear that he spent so much effort to obtain the resources of a country not to simply invade it.
"So, Brother Roddy, you mean … only war can bring peace?"
Roddy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "In such a world, the condition for 'peace' is always that you hold a bigger stick than others."
People are always greedy, no matter who they are.
Now Roddy suddenly thought of another question: Can God also be so greedy?

Udora, who was on the other side of Lassiman River, gritted her teeth and looked at the dinner in front of her. Her hands were trembling. She had no appetite at all.
She only drank some water from morning until now. The burning feeling in her stomach made Udora very uncomfortable. But all the physical pain was suppressed in the face of this inexplicable defeat. At this time, she knew that the team she worked so hard to gather was completely finished. Not to mention this kind of multi-national coalition, even if it was a pure elite troop composed of Tuk Tribe, it would collapse after more than half of the troops were killed.
Now these auxiliary troops on the south bank had no combat power. After she asked her aides to count, she found that she only had 4,000 soldiers left … This number could only be regarded as the last fig leaf.
"Give me the map."
"Your Excellency, your dinner …"
"Give me the map!"
Udora's voice was hoarse. She stared at the servant beside her. But then she took a breath, looked away, raised her hand, and tried to put the scone that had become cold into her mouth.
This kind of unfermented flatbread was crispy when it was just baked, but it became harder and harder when it was cold. After a long time, it became as hard as a rock. Udora tried her best to bite, but this action seemed to be able to help her vent her anger.
She took the map and glanced at the three nearest towns. She suddenly remembered the black smoke she saw when she crossed the river today. She frowned and asked, "Have the investigators come back?"
"My Lord, looking at the sky, they should be coming back soon."
Udora chews the hard pancake and asks, "How many soldiers can these three towns gather?"
The advisors looked at each other, and one of them replied, "According to the number of troops in the town and the speed at which the other countries are transporting troops here, it is estimated that another 20,000 people can be gathered in half a month. But in my current state … "
If Rasha City was conquered, the lords and kings of the surrounding small countries would definitely swarm in like sharks smelling blood. But now the frontline has failed, and Udora is like hitting an iron plate. Almost 60% of the army has been lost. In this case, it is very difficult to continue to recruit soldiers.
