Chapter 837 The Prince of Panzhi
Imric's all-night conversation with Mishan affected many things. No one knew why the prince's attitude changed so dramatically on an inconspicuous night.
A piece of war mobilization order with the prince's handwriting, the emblem of the dragon tamer, and the fingerprint of Minas Nir was sent from Sartosa to the Dragon Palace. It only needed to be stamped with the fire dragon emblem, and Caledor would enter the national war. state, all production activities will serve the war.
The Fire Dragon Emblem is now in the hands of Prince Drachnir...
Draconir held up the war mobilization order written by his father and stared at it silently for a long time.
War needs a purpose, a goal that can be recognized by the people. The last time the Dragon Palace issued a national war mobilization order was the battle of Fenouir Plains, when Ulthuan's survival was in danger.
At that time, it was for the righteous cause of resisting Druzi, rescuing the Eternal Queen, and saving Asul. The enthusiasm of the whole people was extremely high, and it was regarded as a just war.
The war mobilization order in his hand did not shy away from writing about the legendary dragon horn, and in this war, Caledor's enthusiasm may soon turn into fanaticism.
Before that, the excuse for Operation Bad Land was the large amount of oath gold that might exist in Golden Oath City...
To be fair, Drachnir did not want to stamp this war mobilization order with the fire dragon emblem.
In the few short years since he took over the palace, he has spent a lot of energy on the joint development plan of Caledor's cities. Once the transmission network with the magic matrix as the node is completed, Kaledor's wealth will be comparable to that of Lothern. .
Can……
The prince rubbed his temples. This was not a simple matter. His father had clearly supported the long-term development plan before and believed that what Caledor needed more than war was systematic industry and magic.
Although a group of out-of-work soldiers can seize resources by force, it depends on who the opponent is. Some slaves and precious metals can be obtained from Druchi.
But if it was green-skinned, even every grain of wheat sent to the bad land would have to be accurately calculated in advance, so it would be difficult to obtain substantial benefits.
The possibility of making the defeated pay military expenses was lost from the beginning.
Moreover, the only item of actual value in the Eight Peaks Mountain treasury is the dragon horn. Gold and artifacts are not scarce for Caledor today, but this item alone is worth spending everything on.
He understands how wealthy the White House is now, but the gold that exceeds the market's carrying capacity is just a lump of metal that is difficult to move.
The wartime state will reduce the price of items to a controllable number, but the prerequisite is that productivity can keep up, otherwise everything is empty talk.
The prince thought for a long time and withheld the war mobilization order for the time being. He planned to test the interests of all parties first, especially representatives of organizations that supplied important supplies to the army.
Since we are going to fight, we must be fully prepared.
An urgent order came out from the dragon's palace, and the attendant responsible for delivering the news "courteously" invited the people listed on the list to the capital to conspire with His Highness the Prince.
Fortunately, Draknir has always established an image of being friendly to the people in the past few years. He spent more time searching between villages and towns than in the palace, and did not make the people who received the invitation too nervous.
One of the people invited was the mayor of Qingyan Port, whose pseudonym was Kara Mazov.
In order to show that he knew Mazov's true identity, Draconir specially arranged a very intriguing residence for him, which was the house where Raskol was studying in Kalede.
After the death of the General of the Patriot Army, the house was gifted to a teacher at Kalede Academy in his will. The house with unique significance was also regarded as a symbol of friendly relations between the two countries.
The mayor stayed alone in the house for a long time, and no one knew what he was doing inside, or what he was thinking.
Only when he entered the dragon's palace and faced the majestic spectacle with an unruffled face, could he seem to feel the sadness hidden in his eyes.
Meeting Drachnir was the first time for Mazov, and he was not very familiar with the prince of Caledor.
If given a choice, the villain would rather die in the cold Kislev Palace than become a tool of the Dragon Tamer family.
A face similar to Imrik's, but the brows and eyes were much softer, and there was no hint of loneliness or arrogance... This was Mazov's first impression of Drachnir.
In the living room where there were only two people, Draconir spread his hands and invited the human to sit across from him.
"Please take a seat, Mayor Kara of Qingyan Port, or should we call the Captain of Special Operations of the Patriot Army, Honorary General Mazov."
The middle-aged man sat on the bench unceremoniously. Since both parties knew each other's identities, there was no need to use too much etiquette to disguise themselves.
"I prefer the latter, which shows that I still have a choice about how to die."
Draconir chuckled, and seemed to have a very good first impression of Mazov. It may be that these philosophical words were appreciated by Beranar's disciples, or it may be the huge resources held by the mayor.
"At least you get a chance to live forever, which is what countless short-lived ghosts dream of."
"Yes, but the only possibility for me to die now is that before your father died, he was worried that a person full of secrets would live in the world and take me with him into the underworld. Even if he died, he would keep a close eye on my mouth. To avoid finding my old man in Hades and fighting for his life.”
The sarcastic words brought out a look of violence in Draconir's eyes. He could not tolerate anyone disrespecting his father.
And all this was seen by Mazov.
Mazov shook his head secretly in his heart. This young man was still too naive. If he were a qualified monarch, he would definitely comfort himself and lie that as long as he achieved his goal, he could control the rest of his life by himself.
How could his eyes show something strange just because of a single word? Most of the people he dealt with were respectful and did not regard the prince as someone to be exploited.
"Let's not talk about the topic of free will. Then, Prince Draconir, the reason why you are looking for me should be the war mobilization order, right?"
Although it was a question, Mazov's tone was already very firm. Qingyan Port and the newly built human city now account for nearly half of Caledor's industrial and agricultural output. If we want to fight a large-scale and protracted war, the support of the human city is essential. few.
Although humans are not engaged in high-tech industries, most of them are basic agriculture and industry.
But war is determined by the foundation. Even the most powerful Dragon Prince still needs to eat bread for a living.
But things that are important to elves may not be touched by humans. How the prince can convince himself to fully respond to the mobilization order is an intriguing thing.
Draconir was a little surprised, feeling that he had underestimated this short-lived ghost. Most of the humans he came into contact with were short-sighted and flattering. He had already guessed why he hadn't said anything about the mobilization yet.
But soon, the prince calmed down. This is a must-have for a superior person, and he cannot let others guess his mind.
"Yes, the Dragon Palace is preparing to issue a war mobilization order. I need to listen to the opinions of people from all walks of life to plan the scale of mobilization."
Mazorov shrugged, expressing his disbelief in this statement.
"Your father must have said that the scope of mobilization is the entire territory of Caledor, rather than deciding the scale based on the opinions of people from all walks of life. If I guess correctly, he is planning to cancel the designation of the Qingyan Port Coast Guard Force and incorporate it into the Royal Navy." (End of chapter)
