Chapter 521 - 521 387 Recruiting Ann_1
?Chapter 521: Chapter 387 Recruiting Ann_1 Chapter 521: Chapter 387 Recruiting Ann_1 This was the idea that Duanmu Huai proposed to King Gandhi.
Although King Gandhi’s control over the civilian officials was weak, luckily, the military was still firmly under his control. When King Gandhi first mentioned the Demon Clan’s invasion of Lisas at the early council meeting, it was to set the tone for the ensuing proposal, turning it into a “military task”.
Military tasks are entirely different from political ones, and the concerns King Gandhi had indeed existed. Under these circumstances, constructing a satellite fortress city in the heartland that echoes the Royal City is indeed a pressing military task.
The reason Lisas suffered so much at the beginning was that most of Lisas’ armies were on the border, and no one ever thought that the enemy would bloom in the middle. When the Herman Soldiers launched their attack, Princess Leia had nowhere to run but to surrender.
After all, who could anticipate that kind of situation, right?
If building a fortress city is seen as a military task, then it can’t be delayed with political tactics.
This is like waging a war on the front line and asking for supply and food from the rear. If you dare to say no, you’ll be directly taken out and executed.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, Financial Commissioner Cruji was obliged to allocate the funds. This was like King Gandhi directly reclaiming most of the financial authority from him—after all, building a fortress city costs a fortune, enough to take up a large chunk of the national treasury. If all these funds are to be controlled and commanded by King Gandhi under the reason of a “military task”, then the small amount of money left in Cruji’s control would be meaningless.
That’s why King Gandhi specifically stated that he’d “send the army to supervise”, which includes an implicit warning against Cruji’s potential mischief.
You dare to hesitate over military funding, you fat bastard? The army generals won’t care for your excuses or difficulties, they’ll simply chop you down!
Besides, another purpose of deploying the army for supervision is to regulate the Second Class Citizens.
As the saying goes: hard places breed tough people. People only appreciate ethics when they are comfortable, there’s always something despicable about the pitiable. While it’s true that Second Class Citizens are pitiful because they’re oppressed, suggesting they’re all good people just because of their situation is ludicrous. The number of rogues and hoodlums in the Second Class Citizen areas is not scarce—if the army wasn’t there to supervise them, it would be a miracle if they do good work!
“Um………”
Everyone present was an old fox, and upon quick contemplation, immediately understood King Gandhi’s thinking. Soon, Judiciary Commissioner Istura spoke up.
“Your Majesty, do you truly wish those stupid and lowly Second Class Citizens to carry out such an important construction task?”
“You all should know very well how labor-intensive building a fortress city is. We can’t rely solely on First Class Citizens.”
