Until Roland sat down, everyone bowed and took their seats.
From that remote town to the now rapidly expanding core city, he has become a flag in the eyes of everyone. In the eyes of the participants, Roland clearly felt this. Unlike in the past, standing on the primary school desk to speak, or explaining the plan to Party A, they are not only listening, but preparing.
Ready to carry out every intention and command he will follow.
This was the team he had accumulated three years after he came to this world. When he thought of the lonely figure in the castle at the beginning, and the mocking and sneering expressions of the local nobles, he felt a heartfelt satisfaction in his heart.
Therefore, Roland went straight to the topic, "Neverwinter must not allow the devil to take root in the fertile plains, especially in a place so close to the border. Although the enemy came a little early, our footsteps have not slowed down. Graycastle All places have basically recovered, and we can completely spare our hands to deal with them." He paused, looked around, and said word by word, "The next thing to do is to drive the devil out of the Taquila Ruins. Target. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone said in unison.
Even Barov, who was most concerned about the use of troops, did not raise any objection. The rapid development of Neverwinter is based on stable order and the confidence of the people. A city protected by a powerful king, a territory that has never been attacked by war. These are the main factors that attract refugees. If the devil uses Taquila as a stronghold and continues to harass Neverwinter, causing panic among the people or even causing them to flee, there will be no future development. The east and south borders, which were abandoned due to the continuous war for the king, are the best proof.
"Then let's talk about the specific plan. All departments can speak if they have ideas."
"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing at the moment is to relocate the properties located in the north as soon as possible," Barov was the first to get up and replied, "If the devil invades the west, the first people who are not protected by the city walls will be affected. After the construction of the new city wall is completed, the cattle and sheep grazing will also interfere with the arrangement of your army. The previous city-wide vigilance is an example." He glanced at Wendy at this point, "Because the city gate was closed, wheat seeds and various The transportation of forest resources was blocked, but thanks to the full operation of the City Hall, the impact was minimized."
Roland already knew this from the letter, and when the boss mentioned it again, he couldn't help but look at Wendy, and found that the latter's face was calm and did not mean to argue at all. Obviously, the phrase "I take full responsibility" was not an angry word.
"The collection of wheat seeds, mushrooms and other resources can be transported from the west of the Chishui River into the city by paddle steamers, but the mines on the northern slope cannot be relocated, and the reconstruction cost of the furnace area is too high, so it cannot be generalized." He thought for a moment and decided Dao said, "These places will be strengthened, so that they will have the power to resist when they are attacked by terrorist beasts. In addition, I have not elaborated on the issue of vigilance. Now I have re-clarified that the evacuation during martial law is only for the people who are still wandering in the streets, markets and other places. , instead of the entire population. From today, I demand that no matter what the circumstances, the factory will not be shut down until I issue a new order."
"Then... I will count the industries that can be relocated and then show it to you." Probably realizing that Roland didn't want to be held accountable, Barov immediately changed his tone.
"By the way, plan the new land as well," Roland tapped on the map behind him. "The threat in the Snowy Mountains has been eliminated. This area in the west can be used. As long as the leaves are there, the Hidden Forest is a natural barrier for the left wing."
On the map, the dense Hidden Forest is like an inverted triangle, occupying a small half of the wilderness. It is located in the Snow Mountain in the west, one side spreads northward along the foot of the mountain, pointing directly to the Longji Mountains, and the other side is accompanied by the Chishui River until the two endpoints of the border of Neverwinter City are connected, forming a huge buffer zone. To put it simply, if you cut the Wilderness into three parts, the leftmost part is the forest area, and the two right parts correspond to the Neverwinter Prairie and the Desolate Mountains respectively.
The area controlled by Ye Ye now covers the entire western section of the Chishui River, so whether it is transporting coal mines or forest resources, the safety of the cement fleet can be guaranteed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Barov also knew this, and quickly responded.
"Your Majesty, I think the origins of the devils should be disclosed to the public as soon as possible," Wendy said, "otherwise they will easily cause panic when they suddenly appear in front of everyone. And you often say that propaganda is the most important part of governance. If If we don’t control it, it is very likely that some people with ulterior motives will take advantage of it.”
"I agree with this statement too," Elche echoed through the light curtain. "Although mortals have very limited abilities, they add up to a force, at least it's better than nothing. Besides, fear is like a whip, and it's often terrifying. , wielding it properly but forcing people to move forward.”
Originally, the propaganda work would be carried out after the unification of Greycastle and the king's ascension to the throne, but the early appearance of the devil disrupted this plan. Roland threw this task to Barov, "The content of the propaganda, how to promote it, is up to you to formulate. Grasp the degree, so as to let the people understand that the devil is the mortal enemy of mankind, and we will not give up until it perishes; It is also important to emphasize that they are just like evil beasts, they look ferocious and terrifying, and they are no different in front of guns."
"As for those who take advantage of the situation to spread rumors and make trouble," Roland sneered twice, looking at the two police chiefs Vader and Rain Meade, "I don't need to remind you what to do with them."
The two quickly lowered their heads, "Of course, Your Majesty."
After confirming the wartime order and related plans in Neverwinter City, Pasha raised the question that everyone was most concerned about, "How do you plan to attack the devils near the Taquila Ruins?"
"The safest way is to establish artillery positions and destroy their red mist supply devices from a long distance," Roland roughly measured on the map with his fingers, "The range of the fortress guns produced now can reach more than ten kilometers, if a little improvement is made , and can fight farther without the red fog, and the devil who remains has only one dead end."
This is not what he boasted. The first generation of fortress guns were far from the 152 except for the glorious 152 mm caliber due to the use and transportation conditions. Even if the gun barrel, gun mount and other parts are not modified, only the medicine room is enlarged, and the whole loaded ammunition is replaced by component loading, and the range can be improved to a new level immediately.
"I see, the Taquila witch is willing to open up this position for you."
There is no doubt that the Taquila camp is the most active in the battle of divine will in the conference hall. As long as they can defeat the devil, they don't mind taking the lead.
"But to achieve this, several key issues need to be resolved," Roland shook his head. "Without adequate preparation, it will be difficult for us to gain a firm foothold under the devil's offensive." He withdrew his hand and was in the North Slope mine. With a flick, "The first thing to solve is the transportation problem."
