Chapter 41: Large Number of Refugees [First Update]
【ps: First update today]
Except for the last item, the Apocalypse Tank, all the others were bought, costing Guyuan 265,000 in total. Now Guyuan only has 36,648 kill points left. On the one hand, there are also a lot of technologies that can be lit up in the people’s livelihood technology.
Thermal power plant, sophisticated machinery, giant ore refinery.
The giant ore refinery has a working efficiency that is five times that of an ordinary ore refinery.
Thermal power plant, the lights in Guyuan that are now brightly lit are not from the power plant, but need to be replaced with batteries.
With this, circuits can be laid on a large scale, and electricity will be used everywhere in the future.
Sophisticated machinery, with this, workers can make more sophisticated and compact mechanical parts, and the error rate will be reduced by 50%.
After conquering the Kingdom of Nord, the army has to rest and send an expedition team to inspect minerals and other things throughout the Kingdom of Nord.
Originally, the oil reserves in the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Los were not much.
Even a large number of them are purchased from merchants in the Orc Empire, so that the current hundreds of cars can be driven.
But this is not a solution. We can manufacture T-34. If there is no fuel, tanks are just scrap metal.
We must control our own oil fields!
Merchants in the Orc Empire can sell a large amount of oil, which means that there must be oil extracted in the territory of the Orc Empire.
Should we go to war with the Orc Empire?
Gu Yuan is now thinking about this decision.
If we want to extract oil, the Orc Empire will definitely not allow the army of the Los Kingdom to enter the territory without authorization.
And extracting oil is also a source of income for them.
It seems that no matter what, we must fight!
But it can’t be now, we have to wait for a while. Now the army is short of personnel, weapons and equipment.
It is not enough to go to war with such a huge empire with a population of over 100 million.
And there is also the Golden Lion Duke of the Gutongs Empire.
So, the potential targets of the future war are two huge forces, and Gu Yuan is a little headache.
Do we have to learn from the German army in World War II to fight on two fronts?
However, the industrial level of his country is far from the level of the German army in World War II, and the population is not as large as that of the German army in World War II. In World War II, Germany had a population of more than 60,000. At the beginning of World War II, the total strength of the German navy, army and air force was 6 million. The mobilization rate was one-tenth, and the total population of Los was only more than 3 million, and most of them were Nords.
Gu Yuan slapped his head and decided to expand the army!
First recruit Los people, and then recruit soldiers from Nord serfs and poor people. Although Gu Yuan knew that he would not recruit too good soldiers from Nord serfs and poor people, there was no other way. Only these serfs and poor people of the Nords were the most loyal to Los people, and Gu Yuan had issued a decree to abolish the serf system and distribute land to farmers and civilians.
Now, if we talk about the support rate, only the lower-class people among the Nords can support Gu Yuan as the king.
But this is enough, and among the three million Nords, serfs and poor people accounted for the vast majority.
Stricter recruitment conditions can also recruit some good soldiers. The army was expanded to 100,000, with 40,000 Lossians and 60,000 Nords.
Half a month later, a caravan of civilians from Loss arrived at the mountain city of Longde, which was originally in the Nordic territory and now belongs to the Los Kingdom.
“”Huh.”
The leader of the caravan looked at his team and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened. Recently, a large number of refugees poured into the Los Kingdom, many of whom were Qisi and Lote. It must be because of the Orc Empire.
The caravan leader looked to the south, which was the direction of the Orc Empire. Although it was separated by the Lote Kingdom and the Qisi Kingdom, the caravan leader still felt a palpitation.
“”Boss, what’s wrong? Why are you sighing?”
A Nord boy working in the caravan asked with a smile.
“There have been a lot of refugees coming here recently, probably from Lot and Qisi. I think it’s because of the Orc Empire.”
The leader of the caravan sighed and said.
If the entire territory of the Lot Kingdom and the Qisi Kingdom were occupied by the Orc Empire, then the land of the Los Kingdom would border the Orc Empire.
“It’s okay. Our army of Los Kingdom is not a pushover. We have His Majesty the King leading us. No one can be our opponent.”
The young Nord smiled and said confidently.
Although he has only joined Los Kingdom for less than a month, he is living better than before.
Including this young Nord, a large number of Nords have begun to regard themselves as Los people.
“Seeing those refugees reminded me of my great-grandfather. Back then, my great-grandfather followed the great-grandfather of our current king and crossed the ocean to come to this land. They were also refugees, but they established the Los Kingdom. Now we have a good life under the leadership of our king. What will happen to those refugees in the future?”
The leader of the caravan was a kind-hearted man. He said with some sorrow.
“They can only wish for the best for themselves, since they are not from Los Country.”
The young man scratched his head and said.
Los people, they were not called Los people before. Gu Yuan’s great grandfather took hundreds of thousands of people to escape by boat to the Roliland continent, to this plain area called Los.
They had black hair and black eyes, abandoned their previous surnames, forgot their previous identities, intermarried with the locals, and passed on their family line.
Finally, Gu Yuan’s grandfather established the Los Kingdom, which was passed down to Gu Yuan’s generation, so the current Gu Yuan was called Gu Yuan III by other kings.
“All the refugees, come here!”
A squad of Los soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying 98Ks came to the city gate.
The squad leader frowned as he looked at the large number of refugees gathered at the gate.
He said,”We won’t help you for free, but now we need a large number of workers to build roads and railways. We will provide you with food and accommodation, and also pay you. Are you willing?”
“”Yes, yes!”
When they heard that they would be provided with food and accommodation, and that they would receive money, the refugees raised their hands one after another.
They were afraid that they would not be selected.
“OK, pick fifty young men and follow me.”
The squad leader waved his hand, and several Los soldiers walked into the crowd and began to pick people.
