Halfway through the war against the Frank Empire, Su Cheng knew that the central government of the empire had recruited another group of young and strong laborers to transport supplies.

Although before the war began, the General Staff, led by Su Cheng, formulated a detailed combat plan that was suffocating enough and carefully calculated the number of civilians needed to launch the war, the plan could never keep up with the changes.

After the war begins, accidents may occur every moment.

These accidents that may happen at any time will completely disrupt the original plan.

For example - the heavy rainstorm lasted for several days made the road muddy and the transportation team difficult to move forward.

For example, an epidemic broke out in a transport team, which not only damaged a large number of transport personnel, but also failed to deliver supplies to the front line at the original time.

To be more extreme - an earthquake suddenly occurred, and the location where the earthquake happened to be the base of the logistics force...

After the "Watching Rhine" project began, although no major accidents occurred, minor accidents happened every day.

These small accidents continue to occur, causing the originally formulated combat plans to deviate from the originally scheduled track.

Before the attack on the city of Berlu was captured, the Britannian army had insufficient number of civilians.

Faced with this situation, Ilsa issued an emergency mobilization and summoned a group of civilians across the country to send them to the front line.

Su Cheng knew that there was another recruitment of civil servants, but he did not know how many civil servants had been recruited.

Because the matter of recruiting civil servants is not under Su Cheng's jurisdiction at all.

Not only did the matter of collecting civil servants not be under Su Cheng's control, but even the matter of directing civil servants to transport grain was not under Su Cheng's control.

According to the military rules of the Britannian Empire, those who were in charge of front-line operations generally did not take care of logistics transportation, and those who were in charge of logistics transportation generally did not command front-line operations.

In the "Watch the Rhine" plan, the person in charge of the logistics forces was the deputy commander of the Knights of Gabriel.

Only when the war began, Su Cheng knew how many civilians participated in logistics transportation.

After the war began, Su Cheng didn't know much about how many civilians were reduced and how many new civilians were added.

Su Cheng never expected that the Central Committee would mobilize so many young and strong laborers to the front line in the middle of the battle...

Generally speaking, the central government will mobilize young and middle-aged people in poorer areas first.

Every civilian who is mobilized to go to the front line can receive a monetary reward. This monetary reward is fatal to young and middle-aged people in poor areas, so it will be more active in being drafted on the front line.

Mobilizing people from poor areas first and then mobilizing people from wealthy areas - this has become a practice in the Britannian Empire.

This is the richest county of Soma in the south of the Britannian Empire.

Even the young and middle-aged people in Soma County were summoned... Su Cheng could no longer imagine what other poorer areas would look like...

Just when Su Cheng had not recovered from Kefu's words just now, Kefu sighed again.

"Fortunately, our country has built a large number of plantations in the western region over the years."

"It has given the blessing of the plantations and the natives of the New World, which has saved us a lot of tax cuts over the years."

"Fortunately, the taxes are not as heavy as before. Otherwise, in the current situation of lack of young and strong labor, we may not even be able to pay the tax."

Kefu did not notice Su Cheng's slightly shrinking pupils, but continued to say to himself:

"It is really wise to build plantations and capture the natives of the New World to be slaves."

"I don't know how many poor farmers have gained from this policy."

"With these indigenous peoples from the New World helping us farm, the pressure on us farmers has been reduced by an unknown amount, and the tax they have to pay every year is only half of what they used to do."

"I heard that when His Majesty decided to implement this policy, many people expressed opposition, thinking that this policy was too cruel."

Speaking of this, Kefu's face was covered with disdain.

He turned his head and spit heavily at the land at his feet.

"I want to tell you, those who think His Majesty's policy is cruel are all a bunch of bastards."

"When the indigenous people of the New World came to farm, the central government of the Empire was cruel to our ordinary farmers."

"Now after capturing the indigenous peoples of the New World to farm, it has become cruel to the indigenous peoples of the New World, and we ordinary farmers have become relaxed."

"Your Majesty captured the natives of the New World to farm, and those big men felt it was cruel."

"When we were setting such high taxes for us, why didn't those big guys come forward and say 'It's cruel to the farmers'?"

"To put it bluntly, it's because those big guys are used to riding on us, and they don't think it's wrong to be so cruel to us poor farmers."

"When His Majesty decided to capture the natives of the New World, he was full of kindness and said that this was cruel and that cruel."

"The more I think about it, the more angry I get!"

"Riding on the heads of those of us poor people, accuse Your Majesty of cruelty with a condescending look—this is the face of the great men who oppose Your Majesty's 'plantation plan'!"

Britannian Empire, Pandragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.

In the study, Ilsa stood in front of a large map hanging on the wall with her hands behind her back.

This big map is the mainland map.

To be precise, it is a new map specially drawn by the drawingists for Ilsa.

The most conspicuous part on this new map is naturally the large red area.

This large piece of red is the territory of the Britannian Empire.

A few years ago, the territory of their Britannian Empire was hiding on the west side of the continent.

Now, after conquering the Rolling Empire and the Frank Empire one after another, the territory of their Britannian Empire has expanded to more than twice the original one.

It reaches the southernmost point of the mainland.

West and the ocean.

The east is the grassland.

North to the Aeghar Mountains, bordering the Holy Sheeran Empire.

Currently, there are only 2 conspicuous colors left on the map.

A color is the red that represents the Britannian Empire.

Another color is the blue that represents the Holy Hillan Empire.

After annexing a large tract of territory between the Rolling Empire and the Frank Empire, the current territory of the Britannian Empire is no less than that of the Holy Hillan Empire.

Two colors, one red and one blue, come into contact with each other, facing each other in the north and south.

Looking at the entire continent, only the Holy Hillan Empire is qualified to be the opponent of the Britannia Empire.

At the same time... only the Holy Hillan Empire was left to hinder Ilsa from fulfilling her dream of unifying the continent...
