Chapter 1085 Greed
Roddy casually raised her legs and sat on the chair and drank a sip of tea: "Or, what other ideas would the Parliament have?"
At this time, Konos no longer dared to have any extra thoughts. He waved his hand in fear and said, "No, no, no, I just don't understand. There is no suspense in this battle now. Isn't it better to crush it directly?"
"My purpose is to help you regain your territory, not to kill all the enemies, right?"
After saying this, Roddy stood up and stretched: "Okay, the battle has been completed. For arms sales, MP Konos, you can go back and discuss with the parliament. Let's all be here today?"
"Okay... OK!"
Member Konos also understood that he had no right to command the other party. He had long thought of discussing what happened today with the parliament. At this time, he heard that Roddy wanted to see him off, but he did not continue to be polite. He immediately saluted and left.
Everyone could hear his footsteps as he hurriedly went downstairs.
After all, he witnessed the changes brought to the war by the weapon "cannon" - the only casualties from beginning to end were the burns of the barrel. Such a mythical battle-loss ratio, the Rasimmann mages have never experienced any more from the founding of the Kingdom War.
After the surroundings became quiet, Roddy turned around and looked at Nafi: "Everyone has left, don't pretend. Sit down and rest for a while, see if you have been standing there, are you tired?"
Nefi's face was so concerned about Roddy, and she sat directly opposite Roddy: "Not tired! Brother Roddy, did you deliberately choose here to let him see the scene of the war below?"
"Yes, the result of the war is the best advertisement, and it saves me and him more trouble."
"Advertisement? What does it mean?"
"It is to promote something to more audiences," Roddy explained casually, and saw Nefif stopping, and smiled: "If you have any questions, ask, don't hesitate or something."
"I... I'm just curious. Why did you never compromise with those of the Viper Cross before, but now you've gained an advantage... give the other party a chance to surrender?"
Roddy's impression on Nefie is always very decisive, and most importantly...it's very cold when facing the enemy.
"Because the purpose is different."
Roddy asked the servant to pour milk tea for Nefi, picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip: "This is not the Kingdom of Karen. Do you understand if I say that?"
Nafi was stunned and rubbed her eyebrows: "I have been here for too long, and I have forgotten this concept..."
If it were in the territory of Karen Kingdom, Roddy would never have any kindness towards "rebels", "cults" and even "remnants of the royal family", because although these people cannot threaten the legitimacy of his regime, they can make the people living near the line of food and clothing lose their recognition of the "Karren Kingdom" in their hearts.
If the people of a country lose the most basic recognition of their country, they don’t have to talk about “development” and “strengthen” at all.
"Of course, another reason is... our army is not just leaving just for a war."
In terms of strategy, he had discussed it with Kardashian, Soderol and others for a long time, and now he was clearly told: "Actually, although we are fighting smoothly now, in fact, this kind of 'away battle' is more difficult as it goes. The entire army cannot be airlifted here. The cost is too high to support it. With less and more, you can win with the advanced weapons one or two times, but the enemy is not a fool. What should I do if I don't compete head-on later? What should I do if I detour guerrilla all day long?"
Nefi couldn't believe it: "Can't you win a war with such advanced weapons?"
"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 army was originally attacking Lassiman for the sake of interests. If I tell them that there are more benefits to share after peace, do you think they are willing to continue fighting?"
How much did the US military lead Vietnam in the initial equipment? It used all other equipment except the atomic bomb, but ended up in the quagmire of war and was full of trouble.
Although this analogy cannot be used, Roddy is very clear that he spent so much effort to obtain a country's resources not just to invade.
"So Brother Roddy, do you mean...only war can bring peace?"
Roddy was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "In such a world, the condition for the existence of 'peace' is always the one that holds a bigger stick than others in your hand."
People are always greedy, no matter who they are.
Roddy suddenly thought of another question: Will God be so greedy?

Yudora, who was on the other side of the Ram River, gritted her teeth and looked at the dinner in front of her, but her hands were trembling and she had no appetite at all.
From the morning until now, she only drank some water, and the burning sensation in her stomach made Yudora very uncomfortable. But all physical pain was suppressed in the face of this inexplicable defeat. At this time, she knew that the team she had worked hard to gather was completely finished - not to mention that such a piece of multi-national coalition, even the elite troops composed of the simple Tuk tribe would collapse after suffering more than half of the damage.
Now these auxiliary soldiers on the south bank of the river have no combat power. After she asked her staff to count it, she found that she had only 4,000 soldiers who could barely line up... This number can only be regarded as the last fig leaf.
"Take the map over."
"Sir, your supper..."
"Take the map over!"
Yudora's voice was hoarse, glaring at the servant beside her—but then she exhaled, moved her eyes away, raised her hand, and tried to stuff the already cold scones into her mouth.
This unfermented bread was crispy when it was just baked, but it became harder after it was cool, and it became as solid as a rock after being left for a long time. Yudora took a lot of bites, but this action seemed to help her vent her anger...
The map was taken over. She glanced at the three nearest towns, suddenly remembered the black smoke she saw when crossing the river today, frowned and asked, "Have the investigators returned?"
"Sir, look at the sky, they will probably be back one after another soon."
Yudora chewed on the hard cake and asked again: "How many sources of troops can these three towns bring together?"
The staff below looked at each other, and one of them replied: "Based on the number of troops in the town and the speed of transporting troops from other countries to here, it is estimated that another 20,000 people can be raised within half a month. But if it is in its current state..."
