"Bring it to me after you've integrated the data from the sixth phase of the survey. The effect of the high-altitude reconnaissance doesn't look very ideal. The problem that the research department needs to solve is how to take a comprehensive picture of the reconnaissance plane, understand?"
In the conference room, Roddy, who was dressed in a military uniform, explained his thoughts to the newly formed team of advisors in front of him. "The definition of 'reconnaissance' by the research department is still somewhat different from what I thought. We don't need to see what headlines are written in the newspaper of Charles II at an altitude of five thousand meters. The reconnaissance plane surveys the terrain and the enemy, it's not a satellite … "
"Err … Prime Minister, what is a satellite?"
"Slip of the tongue, you don't have to think about it. But record what I just said and submit it to the research department. Houdini knows what to do. "
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The one who answered Roddy was a young man less than thirty years old. His facial features were regular, but his left arm was stiff. This guy named Liszt was supposed to inherit his father's knight fief and continue to serve the lord, but because of the disability of his arm, he had lost the ability to go into battle and kill the enemy. Originally, the ending that greeted him was likely to be the decline of his family, bankruptcy, and wandering, but he did not expect that his luck would turn around. After agreeing to serve Elson for a few months, he stood at the core of Efta and personally served the Prime Minister!
The gray-haired Duncan next to him was in a similar mood. At the same time, there were four young people in the room that Camilla had selected through the "civil servant examination". Together, they formed Prime Minister Roddy's "team of advisors".
Previously, Roddy only had Camilla as his advisor. But with the continuous development of the territory, although her ability alone could be used as ten, she could not take care of too many things. Now that the war had begun, the various plans needed more capable people to implement, and the formation of the team of advisors had become an urgent matter. Camilla had chosen four of her most capable assistants. This was a decision she had made after a long period of observation and testing. Initially, she felt that the number was not enough, but she did not expect that Roddy would directly pick Liszt and Duncan from the group of civil servants who had just been screened out. He did not even give any extra reasons.
Such a promotion was illogical, but since Roddy had done it, Camilla would not doubt him. It turned out that the two of them had been doing a good job in the first two weeks. Although they weren't outstanding, it wasn't easy to do everything according to Roddy's requirements.
Naturally, Camilla did not know that the two people Roddy had chosen were famous leaders of think tanks in another dimension — Liszt was the best strategist in the Resistance Army. Because of his disability, he was initially only a squire who followed the army into battle. However, he had repeatedly given key suggestions to his superior during the war, and because of that, his position had risen. Later, when the war reached its climax and the lord died in battle, he led the remnants of his army and ambushed two Orc squads with less than a hundred people, causing a sensation at that time. Later, he joined the Resistance Army's leader, Sodelor, and became his right-hand man.
Back then, the situation was extremely difficult. They were not "evenly matched" with the Orcs at all. It could even be said that the humans were at a complete disadvantage. However, Liszt was able to lead a group of soldiers to create the conditions and use local advantages to win small-scale battles. He could be called a "master tactician."
As for the older Duncan, he was good at logistics and number-related things. His later life experience was also quite bizarre. In the beginning, he was Count Winston's butler. When the war came, he wanted to follow his master to the battlefield, but Count Winston was defeated and fled. Duncan was not good at horsemanship, and he could not run anymore halfway, so he volunteered to stay behind to intercept the pursuers. Who knew that the Orcs would change direction while chasing another target, and he was spared. However, when he returned to find Count Winston, he found that he had committed suicide because of his cowardice …
With nowhere else to go, he sought refuge with the royal family, which was struggling at death's door. However, he shone brilliantly in logistics and economic issues, and was quickly promoted to the core. During the war, Charles II was not so particular. He only felt that Duncan was more capable than the group of nobles who only knew how to talk nonsense, so he waved his hand and made him deputy prime minister.
The consequences? Because he had risen too quickly, Duncan was assassinated on his way home one night.
There was a saying that the importance of a person should not be judged by his performance in the team, but by the results of the team without him. Without Duncan, the royal family's finance, which had just stabilized, immediately collapsed. Charles II changed four deputy finance ministers within three months, but there was no improvement. In the end, he fell into a swamp of red ink, which was basically equivalent to bankruptcy.
Of course, "bankruptcy" would not be caused by the absence of Duncan, but this indirectly proved his ability. At this time, Roddy took the initiative to win over these two talents. Naturally, it was to have a more efficient and mature team to cooperate with when he governed Afta in the future.
However, at present, the team of advisors was still in the process of getting used to each other. In terms of ability alone, the four people chosen by Camilla were obviously better, because they had adapted to the pace of work in Elsen City in the past six months.
"How's the progress on Kardashian's side?"
Roddy looked through the latest logistical quantity report, and after checking it, he signed his name on the document.
"Her Excellency Kardashian went to Dominique Castle after the completion of the aircraft factory. She is expected to return today … uh, at eight o 'clock in the evening."
Someone answered immediately. Roddy's movements paused, and his eyes swept across the "clock" in the center of the room created by Kardashian with a magic circle. It showed that it was five o 'clock in the afternoon.
The invention of the "clock" was naturally related to Roddy. Before this, the Kingdom of Karen basically relied on sundials to keep time. The source of time for ordinary people to distinguish time was mainly the town's clock. The only device they carried with them was a small hourglass. But now, the "clock" that relied on crystal energy had been ordered by Roddy to popularize all of Afta.
The first batch of clocks was made by the Arsenal. Because of the large number, the cost was reduced to five silver coins each. This price was unaffordable for ordinary people, but the first thousand clocks were all used in the battlefield and related areas. The purpose was to make the battle plan accurate to the minute.
These days, Kardashian was probably the busiest person in Elsen City. With the success of the "plane" development, the laboratory in the Pasha Magic Tower could no longer satisfy the testing and further research of the plane. After the airport outside Elsen City was built, Roddy directly allowed her to take Sylvia and the others to build a sizable "aircraft factory" next to it. With the help of magic power, the R&D team was amazingly efficient. In just three days, the prototype of the factory was completed. Now, batches of materials were stacked in the material processing plant through trucks. As for what was being manufactured inside, it was a secret to the rest of Afta.
"Sort out the feedback from Tasman's report. Liszt, I hope you can analyze these things and tell me your opinion and follow-up measures tomorrow."
The team of advisors was not just a messenger. Rody needed their opinions and opinions. He also needed to make inferences from different aspects. The young Liszt was a little excited. His voice trembled as he stood at attention. "Yes! Prime Minister! "
"Go ahead and do what you need to do." Rody waved his hand and added, "Rose Cross has already sent a Bishop Superintendent over. I estimate that he will arrive in Elson in three or four days. See if he can treat your arm injury by then. It's all free of charge."
Liszt did not expect that there was still room for treatment for his disability. He immediately bowed deeply in gratitude. Although he knew that Roddy was buying people's hearts, what was wrong with working for such a master?
He left in a hurry to deal with his own task, but Roddy and Camilla were still busy. The latter was buried in a stack of documents and charts. Several advisors were explaining the current amount of food that the nobles of the territories had to pay.
