Chapter 286 The more you fight, the richer you get
The reason why Arcado is ready to give up the eastern expansion war is very simple. He needs to accumulate a large amount of ammunition to fight back against the counterattack of the Orc Empire.
The problem of Xingang also makes him extremely worried. Once the orcs discover the existence of Xingang or confirm the existence of Xingang, you can imagine how the orcs will attack crazily.
So Arcado felt that it was necessary to end the battle in the direction of the Dorfoss River before all the bad things happened, so that the Duchy of Sword could free his hands to concentrate on the orc counterattack.
Although the news from several fronts is very worrying, the domestic development has brightened everyone's eyes and is full of confidence in winning the upcoming war.
The joint efforts of Vera and Hubert, Meadow, Elena and others have brought about earth-shaking changes in the Holy Sword Principality, which has finally won the opportunity for development.
The capital Romer City has doubled in 2 months. The same speed of development are Mahu Port in Luolei Province, Dante Port in Lomec Province, and Carlo City, a heavy town in Bello near the Elf Forest. These cities have been connected by railways and roads, and the provinces where these cities are located are also complete. It has become a golden industrial and commercial province.
The productivity of Faria Province has more than twice as much as before the war, and the situation of the people living and working in peace is simply a replica of Lomec Province six months ago.
The Antarctic Province, which suffered from war, has also fully recovered. With the help of the Holy Sword Principality, the devastated Antarctic Province has now returned to the pre-war level. In addition to some families with prisoners of war serving in road construction, most of the residents of the Antarctic Province have also accepted the rule of the Holy Sword Principality.
The slaves and treasures looted by Sean's navy from the southeast city state were thrown nearby in the Antarctic province, driving the economic revival of the Antarctic province. It also made the locals regard the navy of the Holy Sword Principality as a hero and forget that the Romer navy annihilated the Antarctic Principality navy in the Battle of the Rome Strait.
The economic transfer of the whole power of the Duchy of Shengjian has been flat, and there is no sign of a war going on. Even most of the citizens of the Duchy of Shengjian support their King's "crusade" against the southeast city-state and avenge the assassination of His Majesty.
Because of convenient transportation, the exchange of materials and the sale have become very easy things. The long-term development of commerce has made the economy of the whole principality burst into a vigorous vitality. Thousands of merchants rush on the wide roads or take fast trains to travel between major cities for gold coins. Work hard.
The miracle in the history of war is quietly happening. For the first time in human history, a country has become richer and richer. The more brave the war, countless soldiers receive wages and send them home. More and more military achievements have made the treatment of soldiers better and better, which has also indirectly led to the commercial prosperity of the army station and soldiers' hometown.
The population is also recovering quietly. Although nothing can be seen in a short period of time, the huge birth rate has made people look forward to the surge in the adult population many years later. At that time, perhaps the Principality of Swords will really have millions of troops.
Nowadays, the iron armored transport fleet of the Principality of Shengjian on the sea cooperates with private sailing fleets. Thousands of merchant ships travel to and from various ports of the Principality of Shengjian, traveling between Rome Island and the mainland of Yavia, becoming a spectacular scenery.
The output of steel has increased threefold, the total output of luxury metals has doubled, and the total output of various industrial products has reached 11 times that of the Rome Island period.
The population of the whole area controlled by the Principality of Sword has expanded 140 times than that of Rome Island, and has a population of more than 70 million.
The foreign population such as elves and orcs has reached 500,000, and the multi-ethnic integration has been completed on Rome Island and is developing to the capital Romer City and Port Dante.
Because of the division of the Lovik Empire, the four northern empires suddenly paid off the huge loans borrowed from Romer Bank, which made Akado, who no longer know how much money he had, had about 300 million gold coins on his pocket money.
If you don't have an intuitive understanding of the above data, the current Duchy of Saint Sword is like a developed country on earth, and the southeast city-state fighting with the Duchy of Saint Sword has almost become a barbarian tribe in Africa.
The collapsed economy has made the Southeast city-states lose effective restrictions on local civilians. The situation is turbulent and the people are suffering unspeakably. Some areas have begun to eat the carrion of animals and children to tide over the difficulties.
In contrast, no one will doubt the outcome of the defeat of the Southeast City State. If it were not for the insurmountable defense line of the Dofoss River, it is estimated that many ordinary people in the Southeast City State would have fled to the Principality of Sword to survive.
The increasingly improved economy and infrastructure construction of the Principality of Shengjian have driven various domestic development.
Three years of basic education has begun to be popularized to civilians free of charge, and you can enjoy a five-year education program subsidized by the state for a small fee.
Mechanical engineering, alchemy, magic, etc. have become popular jobs, and engineers and designers, as well as teachers who teach new learning systems, have become respected professions.
The improvement of ore output and the increasing improvement of the ore refining process have promoted the great progress of the whole industry, and the output of various private factories has been steadily increased, which has a trend of doubling.
The official steel factories of the Principality of Holy Sword also expanded their production crazily, providing raw materials for a variety of follow-up manufacturing industries.
Adequate raw materials make the arms manufacturing industry of the Principality vigorous. Every day, tens of thousands of magic-guide shells are packed and sealed, loaded into trucks and transported to the arsenals directly under the military departments, and transported to the front line after strict inventory.
Similarly, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles are produced every day, hundreds of magic cannons are pushed off the production line to equip the front-line troops, and more and more troops of the Holy Sword Principality have become mechanized divisions, tank divisions, or mixed armor divisions that frightened their opponents.
The Duchy of the Holy Sword now has 1.15 million troops, including elves and orcs, and miscellaneous establishments. The total number of troops has reached 1.3 million. Such a huge army with advanced equipment such as magic cannons and tanks is enough to attract the world's national defense force.
However, when it was flat, about 800,000 troops were deployed on the long eastern defense line, 150,000 were deployed in the Elf Forest, and the rest were scattered all over the country. There were more than 40,000 orc troops that needed to hide their ears and dare not appear on the Asian continent.
So now Arcado needs to transfer about 100,000 troops to reinforce the Elf Forest on the Eastern Front, which is really a headache for him.
