Release that Witch - Chapter 1200

[Chapter 1172 Population New Deal]

Graycastle, Neverwinter.

Castle meeting hall.

With the growing size of the administrative hall, the once usable hall is now a bit cramped, and the main officials of many departments can only move a small stool and sit behind their chief and deputy ministers.

And more clerks and assistants had to stand against the wall, and nearly two hundred people crowded the room tightly.

It seems that it is necessary to build a special hall in the castle area to meet the needs of various meetings in the future. Roland thought to himself, this is only the high-level officials of Neverwinter, and wait until the managers of other cities in the kingdom come to the new capital together. When debriefing, I’m afraid the first floor of the castle is full, and it probably won’t fit.

After writing down this idea in his notebook, he clapped his hands lightly, and the conference hall immediately fell silent.

“I’m sure you all know that Operation Torch, which lasted nearly ten months, has been a complete success. Now our footprints have extended to the fertile plains hundreds of kilometers away from Neverwinter City, and the threat from the devil has been completely wiped out—from this moment From now on, the west of Neverwinter is no longer the barren land that is difficult to walk and full of dangers, but a fertile territory that can provide us with abundant supplies!” Roland paused, and raised his voice, “That’s right, this land is bigger than the Four Kingdoms. Adding up the vast plains will be the main development direction of Graycastle for the next hundred years!”

There was thunderous applause in the hall.

Expansion of territory is the most important achievement of the king, and it is also the easiest way for officials to obtain benefits. Even ordinary citizens can get a share of the great development.

Now that there is suddenly an extra territory that can accommodate several Graycastles, its significance is self-evident, no matter how much it is praised, it cannot be overstated.

“I’m afraid that the title “Four Kingdoms” will completely become history in a few years.” Barov stroked his beard and said with a cheerful smile, “No matter in terms of size or strength, they are all inferior to Graycastle. too far.

”

“It’s true, if history books and biographies are still written like before, I’m afraid they will be laughed at by future generations.”

“How about one big and three small?”

“Three Little Kingdoms is a bit of a mouthful, so it’s better to have a new title.”

“Agreed… I think the empire is very good.”

The ministers were discussing eagerly, and the atmosphere at the long table seemed a little high for a while.

Roland didn’t deliberately stop it, but left a blank time for them to enjoy the aftertaste of the victory before bringing the topic back to business, “But I hope everyone realizes that this victory is just the beginning, It’s not the end! Expelling the devils from the fertile plains won a relatively safe living space, but it doesn’t mean they will die down and give up their conquest of humans. The real threat is the legendary battle of divine will, only when the red moon is approaching , the enemy will show all their fangs! For that day to come, the kingdom must be fully prepared now!”

“In other words, not only can you not relax in the slightest, but you have to double your efforts, understand?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Everyone said loudly.

Roland looked around the hall, then nodded to Nightingale beside him.

The latter turned around and opened the curtain hanging on the wall.

The place where the map of the Western Territory used to hang was replaced by a huge blackboard, and there was only one word on the blackboard: people.

“This—is what I want.” Roland said word by word.

Stability in the west, unified internal affairs, the return of the army, and availability of people. He has too many plans to implement, but none of them are more important than increasing the population.

In order to promote the policy as soon as possible, he even put the war summary and other matters behind.

It can be said that population has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of Neverwinter.

If the First Army had an armored unit in Operation Torch, even the simplest infantry tanks would be able to defeat the devil’s anti-ambush trap.

Although the first-generation piston engine that has been finalized has a lot of reliability problems, for war, these are minor details, and whether it is available or not is the top priority.

It’s not that Roland doesn’t know this, but that Neverwinter’s production capacity has reached its limit.

Whether it is steel output or the production capacity of various factories.

A decisive battle basically used up 90% of the ammunition accumulated.

A railway across the plains used up the steel reserves.

Agatha’s cooling and separation method gradually failed to meet the needs of acid production in chemical plants.

The production line of individual grenade even took up part of the already stretched explosives output.

It can be said that Neverwinter has reached the ceiling in many directions.

Scaling up production requires people.

Adding new production items requires people.

Turning ideas and drawings into reality requires the collaboration of multiple departments and a large number of people.

The population of Neverwinter is still growing steadily, and it has already passed the 200,000 mark. Compared to other cities, this is already an unbelievable number. If it takes another ten years, this place will definitely become the core of the entire continent, with a population exceeding 100. No problem.

If there was no unexpected turning point in the Northern Expedition, UU Reading www.

sonicmtl.com He probably can accept this result, but the fact is that the devil’s behavior deviates from everyone’s predictions. Although the reason is not clear, it makes Roland feel a little uneasy—even if the enemy gathers a large army, they will be defeated in Taquila. It was inextricably fought with the First Army, causing more than half of the soldiers casualties, and it took more than half a year to capture the city, which is more reassuring than it is now.

Long-term combat is originally a plan written in the plan.

But the devil didn’t do that.

The deviation of strategic intention means that the situation has changed in some invisible places, and the uneasiness brought about by this unknown makes him no longer satisfied with the current growth rate.

Coupled with the return of the army, he decided to take some extraordinary measures to shorten the process.

“Your Majesty, this has always been the key task of the Administration Office,” Barov stood up and replied, “According to the statistics, the inflow of foreign population has not stopped, but the trend is still rising steadily, and it is expected to double in five years—”

“I can’t wait five years,” Roland interrupted him. “If possible, I hope to achieve or even exceed this goal within this year.”

Everyone couldn’t help taking a breath.

“Two hundred thousand people a year? Your Majesty, I’m afraid this will be difficult to achieve…” The manager hesitated, “To achieve the inflow trend you mentioned, unless there is turmoil or famine, such a large-scale migration is possible.”

“You’re talking about natural circumstances, and I’m talking about executive orders — and that’s not too difficult a goal to achieve if there are coercive measures. In a nutshell, this long-term plan can be broken down into three parts. ”

Roland stretched out three fingers and said in turn.

“—Peer-to-peer migration, cross-border recruitment, and procreation. That’s what you’re going to do next.” ()
