"Mr. President, do you have any plans for the future arrangements of the Dro Kingdom?" Kennard asked.
"The Kingdom of the Dro Clan?"
Xu Yi frowned and shook his head to get rid of the cruel and terrifying scenes of violence that came to his mind.
Although he had lived on this continent for more than ten years before this, when he looked at other people on Sainz's continent, he would always look at them with an objective observation mentality and rarely really get involved.
However, this time after witnessing the various tragic images that occurred during the riots in the Dero Kingdom, he felt a real sense of hatred from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
If judged from his personal emotional point of view, he would like to directly exterminate these Dero tribe.
However, reason told him that even if countless Dero people in the Dero Kingdom participated in the riot, this did not mean that all the Dero people were guilty of heinous crimes.
From an objective point of view, if the entire Dero clan is wiped out because of this, what is the difference between it and those Dero people who participated in the riot.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi replied: "Now that the Chamber of Commerce Guards have officially entered the Dero Kingdom, as long as we strengthen our control over the Dero Kingdom in the future, those despicable Dero people will not be able to cause any more trouble. "
"So what I'm asking is..." There was a strange look on Kennard's face. "Mr. President, have you thought about how to strengthen your control over the Dero Kingdom?"
Xu Yi was slightly startled, looked at Kennard's thoughtful look, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"President, the Dero Kingdom is more than four thousand kilometers away from the main base of our Chamber of Commerce. Even with the help of the magic airship, a journey will take nearly two days to arrive. At such a long distance, we It is difficult to truly control the Dero Kingdom with just three thousand Chamber of Commerce guards."
"so what?"
"So I thought...should we do it a little more thoroughly?"
"Oh? What do you think is thorough enough?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard with interest.
Seeing that Xu Yi seemed to be interested in listening, Kennard suddenly became energetic. He stood up and went to the map of Sainz Continent hanging on the wall of his office, and slapped the location of the Dero Kingdom marked on the map.
"Master President, you see, the Dro Kingdom is connected to the Kandra Empire to the west and the countries in the eastern part of the continent to the east. Walking a thousand kilometers to the south, you can directly reach the Endless Sea. It can be said that it is the most important country in the eastern part of the continent. If we want to promote the products of the Chamber of Commerce to other countries in the east and northeast of the mainland, we will inevitably have to bypass the Dero Kingdom. "
"Well, I know that. That's why I will directly send the escort team to the Dero Kingdom this time to facilitate the future operations of the Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi nodded.
"Mr. President, you are far-sighted, and of course you can see the importance of the Dro Kingdom. But I think... you have not done enough." Kenna said seriously.
"Tell me, where we haven't done enough."
"You should be well aware that the Dero Kingdom is almost a single nation-state composed entirely of Dero people. Such a country can be said to be the most cohesive and the most dangerous of all countries. Although we are now using force to suppress Despite the resistance of the Dero people, I am certain that when they calm down, there will definitely be another conflict with the outsiders who remain in the Dero kingdom, and the escort team left by our Chamber of Commerce will. Become their number one target.”
"Your concerns are correct. This is also something I have been worried about." Xu Yi nodded. "With only three thousand guards, there is no problem in protecting the base and controlling part of the area, but it is a bit difficult to completely control the entire Dero Kingdom. However, our Chamber of Commerce guards only have a total of 20,000 people, and it is impossible to have so many people. Send it over."
"So, we should do it more thoroughly. Since it is impossible to completely control these Dero people, it is better to simply eliminate them, so we don't have to worry about this problem."
Xu Yi looked at Kennard in astonishment, frowned and said: "I thought you would come up with some more constructive suggestions. It may not be difficult for us to eliminate all the Dero people, but the consequences of doing so will not be easy for us. We can’t afford it. The genocide has a serious impact on anyone’s reputation, not to mention that we are a chamber of commerce that attaches great importance to reputation.”
"No, no, no, President, you misunderstood. When I say annihilate the Dero people, I don't mean to annihilate them physically, but to annihilate them spiritually."
"Eradicated mentally?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard in confusion. "How to do this?"
"The reason why the Dero people have strong cohesion and make them very exclusive is that almost all the Deo people will live in the Dero kingdom for their whole lives and never go to other places. If we can disperse them If we increase the proportion of people inside and outside the Dero Kingdom, the cohesion between them will naturally weaken. Over time, there will be fewer and fewer Dero people in the Dero Kingdom, and there will be no more. There are these problems.”
Xu Yi looked at Kennard, who was talking eloquently and spitting, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
He had to admit that Kennard's idea was creative, but almost zero in practicality.
There have been countless similar cases on earth where people wanted to divide a nation and disintegrate it from within. However, every time such a case occurred, an extremely painful price had to be paid, and the final result was always a mess.
Although Xu Yi dare not say that he knows everything about these human nations on the continent of Sainz, judging from the history of the earth, it is almost impossible to solve the problem of the Dero people by the method proposed by Kennard.
Of course, he would not express his judgment directly, but after thinking for a while, he nodded to Kennard and said: "You can try this idea. But I must remind you that this approach requires a lot of energy and effort. A long time, are you sure you want to do this?”
Kennard rolled his eyes and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Then Mr. President, there is a much simpler way. That is to directly destroy the Dero Kingdom. What do you think of incorporating the Dero Kingdom into the name of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi looked at the expectant light in Kennard's eyes and remained silent.
This suggestion was not the first he had heard.
During this period, many senior officials within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mentioned this suggestion when discussing the riots in the Dero Kingdom with Xu Yi. Even Magister Camilla once said, "It would be better to let this country disappear directly." It's gone" sentence.
It must be admitted that this proposal is very feasible and tempting.
For people on the continent of Sainz, it is not unusual for countries to fight each other, and even eventually lead to the destruction of the country.
The two current empires expanded hundreds of years ago. But countless small countries were wiped out.
The tradition in Sainz's continent is that the strong is king. If you are killed by a powerful enemy, it can only be regarded as your lack of ability and you can't blame others.
Therefore, if you directly send troops to destroy a country on the continent of Sainz, you will not suffer endless public criticism and social pressure like you would on earth. Instead, it will only make other people more awed by your power.
In such an atmosphere, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce and cannot be regarded as a country, as long as it has the ability to destroy the Dero Kingdom. People on Sainz's land won't say anything nonsense either.
What's more, if the influence of public opinion is calculated, newspapers and the most effective magic illusion projection device can now influence the tendency of public opinion. But most of them are directly or indirectly controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to worry at all.
Even Xu Yi himself has seriously considered this suggestion, because it is really the simplest and crudest solution.
However, there was one problem that was difficult to solve, which prevented Xu Yi from actually using this solution.
As I said before, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, not a country.
The biggest difference between the Chamber of Commerce and the country is that the Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for its own business management and does not need to care about other aspects.
Although the scale of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now countless times larger than before, the total number of employees under its name is close to 200,000, and its branches are spread across almost all countries in the continent.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still only responsible for matters related to the operation of the chamber of commerce.
Compared with the economy, people's livelihood, politics, land, security, etc. that a country needs to design and manage, the time that the chamber of commerce needs to consider is undoubtedly much simpler.
Even if we take the Principality of Standing, which can be regarded as the smallest group on the Sainz continent, as an example, the things that the parliament needs to deal with are numerous and extremely complicated.
With the resources Xu Yi currently has, it is not enough to fully develop a new flying chamber of commerce, let alone completely control an entire country.
And Xu is also very self-aware.
It is already a bit reluctant to let him manage a chamber of commerce, so much so that now he has left many specific management matters to his subordinates such as Kennard. If he is asked to become a head of state and manage an entire country, then he will not Being a faint king is a blessing.
Besides, he had no interest in it.
As a mechanical engineer who has loved mechanical research since he was a child and has devoted his whole life to this, his greatest interest is studying machinery.
After traveling to this continent, his dream is to perfectly combine magic, something that does not exist on earth, with machinery to create a complete magic industrial system belonging to this continent.
The reason why he vigorously develops military magic machinery is just to support him in realizing this dream.
It is not difficult for the powerful New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards to destroy the Dero Kingdom, but what to do after the Dero Kingdom is destroyed is the biggest problem.
Various issues and considerations flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and then he shook his head to Kennard and said: "It would be too troublesome to directly destroy the Dero Kingdom. If you are willing to spend a lot of energy and have enough patience, then I approve it. You use the resources of the chamber of commerce to a limited extent to realize your first idea.”
Kennard laughed immediately.
"President, as I expected, you will still choose this way."
Xu Yi smiled, which was regarded as acquiescence. (To be continued...)
