Hearing that they were going south to make money, many of the officials' expressions became much better. They had indeed reaped unprecedented benefits in the south. The rich resources in the south had indeed made everyone go wild with joy.
The Elven Kingdom had many minerals, gemstone mines, and many other precious minerals. What made the Kingdom of Northland even more ecstatic was the discovery of magic crystals, and the reserves were quite large.
If the land and other benefits were taken into account, the Kingdom of Northland's troops in the south had made a lot of money in the Elven Kingdom, and many other troops were very envious.
"Because of the discovery of magic crystals, our wealth has increased by a lot." An official nodded with satisfaction and agreed with the official in charge of finance.
"I suggest that we continue to advance north and attack the German Empire after fully occupying the Elven Kingdom!" A minister in charge of finance stood up and suggested, "Increase the number of troops by 50,000! Take over the German Empire! "
"Agreed! We should subsidize the war in the north. At least we should put some of our attention on the various countries in the south! That's also a war zone, isn't it? "Another minister said as he looked at the Lord beside him.
"Expanding the war is not beneficial to us! Gentlemen! Don't just look at the benefits in front of you! Destruction is always easier than construction. We have taken over so many places, so we have to build them up. Do you think this is a good thing? "King Gravel finally spoke and interrupted everyone's argument.
"I know that everyone wants to quickly obtain benefits in the south, and I want to do so too! But we can't be impatient. We have to be steady and win! Once we have taken over a place, we have to establish a firm foothold there! "He slowly spoke and emphasized to everyone.
"Choose qualified officials, manage the Elven Kingdom well, and turn it into our granary. This is what we should do now! As for continuing to the south … we can discuss this another day! "
"What we need to think about now is what the war will be like in the future!" King Gravel stood up and walked to the map behind him with a serious expression, "The latest news is that the German Empire is even more scattered!"
He tapped on the map and looked at everyone's faces, "Previously, we wanted to use a decisive battle to eliminate our opponents. This kind of large-scale battle is actually advantageous to us! We're good at fighting in groups, that's our advantage! "
His words were a bit cold, making all of the officials who were passionately discussing the attack to the south involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Someone took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands.
They had been too complacent just now. All they could think about was how they and the corporations they represented were going to make money. But they had forgotten that this was the Kingdom of Northland!
Whether it was to make money or develop industry, everyone here had to rely on King Gravel's whims. Their strength was just a paper tiger, while King Gravel's strength was the true strength.
In the Kingdom of Northland, His Majesty's words were absolute. If he gave the order to eradicate a family, the other ministers would carry out the Emperor's orders without even asking for the reason.
This was the power of governance. This was the prestige of King Gravel in the Kingdom of Northland. Although he didn't often express his opinions and was sometimes hesitant, when he spoke, no one dared to question anything.
King Gravel's hand drew a circle in the area where the battle took place yesterday, "Previously, whether it was the German Empire or the Elven Kingdom, they all thought that they could defeat us in a direct battle, so our tactics were the same! We all gathered our forces, looked for the enemy's main force, and waited for an opportunity to fight. "
After that, he paused for a moment, then continued, "But … Now, our enemies have realized their mistake. They don't dare to gather their forces because they're afraid of our destructive weapons!"
"As a result, they may have found a new tactic to attack us! I call it guerrilla warfare! "
He walked to the side of the map. He pointed at the enemy troops near Belize and said, "Once they disperse and start harassing us with small groups, then use local conflicts to wear us down, we'll be in a very passive situation!"
"If they infiltrate the area controlled by our army, or even deeper, and reach our core industrial area, then we'll have to pay a heavy price!" After that, King Gravel looked at the others.
"Previously, they only targeted me and planned on how to assassinate me alone! If they thought about it and attacked the cities, then what would happen to us? Have you thought about it? "King Gravel asked.
After King Gravel's question, everyone suddenly realized that the invincible Kingdom of Northland did not become stronger when facing the enemy's attacks. Instead, they became weaker.
Compared to four years ago, the Kingdom of Northland was now full of high-value targets. In the past, they could abandon half of their territory to continue fighting, but now it was unlikely that they would continue to fight.
In the past, the strategic locations were only some castles and some cities. Even if it was a large city, it was very easy to rebuild. As long as there were enough people, or as long as there were enough people, these cities could be quickly restored.
In such an era, losing a city was nothing more than losing some people and some minerals. For a vast empire, it was far from a serious injury. But now, such a good thing was gone forever.
It had to be emphasized that everything had changed. The large cities of the Norland Kingdom required water and electricity supply, a powerful underground sewage treatment system, and expensive infrastructure that made people flinch.
Now that they were attacking a city, as long as they blew up an important target, the lives of the people would become a mess.
If the water source was destroyed, then the city would be paralyzed, and the people would lose the ability to live. The entire city would collapse in a few days. When that happened, the city would be smelly, and the countless toilets would become a big problem that was difficult to solve.
The entire city had countless important facilities, including the largest docks and ports, and none of them could be abandoned.
How could they guard against thieves for a thousand days? In order to protect these important facilities, the Kingdom of Northland had worked very hard, but there would be more such facilities in the future.
