Chapter 1528 Slow Progress

Everyone knows that war can start at any time, but it cannot end at any time.

Everyone knows that a long war is extremely detrimental to the economy, but if you want to end the war quickly, it is not a simple ceasefire order.

Up to now, both countries have suffered huge losses, and the loss of wealth is secondary. The large number of casualties has not yet been fully counted and an accurate number has been increased every day.

The Red Maple Republic still has the strength to fight, just like the previous Whirlpool Federation, even if it is pushed to the capital, it is not without the opportunity to push back.

Now it is just that the situation has reversed, and it has become the Red Maple Republic that needs to fight the capital defense war.

It is precisely because of the arrival of these orders that the Swan can enter the port safely and rest, and everyone knows that the real troublesome war is coming soon.

Li Chengxi was not sure if the only nuclear bomb left in GP02 was enough, and he also suggested whether to keep a few more as insurance, but Alyssa strongly opposed it, and felt that he was about to crash into the bridge and die...

That is why Li Chengxi wanted to get a more powerful machine, but he couldn't get it in.

But in the final analysis, no matter how good Li Chengxi is, his impact on the entire strategy is minimal. Now it is not about who has better soldiers and stronger equipment.

It is a head-on competition between the two countries' industrial capabilities.

Originally, there was controversy within the Star Cluster Union about who is the boss between the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation, but after this battle, there is no need for any controversy, and the winner is the boss.

Having said that, although the war is coming, at least it can't be fought now. The Swan is still under repair and can't leave the port for the time being.

Li Chengxi then turned his head and looked at Viola.

Compared to the Rotating Water Federation's rapid advance, the territory it has conquered is calculated by star system, and Viola's actions in the past three months are really slow.

After successfully knocking on the northern gate of the Subia Demon Kingdom, Viola should have led her army to march straight in, but Viola slowed down the pace of the army.

In fact, it was not a complete slowdown, but the strategy was different from before.

When she was in the territory of the Tandron Demon Kingdom before, Viola only attacked large cities. After taking the city, she didn't care about the surrounding villages and towns at all, waiting for the follow-up troops to take care of them.

This time, after Viola took a city, she immediately began to radiate to the surrounding areas, firmly grasping the villages and towns.

There will be such a major change in decision-making because the situation is different from that in the Tandron Demon Kingdom.

Before, Viola needed to hurry. If the Tandron Demon Kingdom was destroyed or surrendered before she achieved her strategic goal, Viola and her army could no longer continue to advance. After all, the righteous cause was gone. If they continued to fight, they would be a pure bandit army for money, and their reputation would not be good.

Therefore, after taking the key cities, the suppression of villages and towns and other surrounding targets was handed over to the troops that came from the country, and Viola led the main force to rush forward.

In the country of the Subiya Demon King, Viola came in the name of clearing the source of the friendly country and clearing the emperor's side.

If you fight too fast and attack the capital directly, the nobles in the capital will directly tie up the usurper prince and send him to support Princess Aolavia as the demon king, which will also lose the righteousness.

In other words, it is just a different name for sending troops.

In addition, compared with the Tandelong Demon Kingdom besieged by the three countries, the Subiya Demon Kingdom is in a better situation and has stronger national strength.

Its south was attacked by Guatni and the north was invaded by Avarus. It seems to be attacked from both sides, but it is impossible to play the classic replica of the Tandelong Demon Kingdom.

After all, Guatni's national strength is the weakest among the seven demon kingdoms. At most, it can only bite off a piece of meat from the Subiya Demon Kingdom, and whether it can hold it is another matter.

Although Viola wanted revenge, the reality was that the army was not enough to carry out the operation of destroying the country.

After all, although Avarus was strong, it had just recovered from the crisis of national destruction, and the country was still in ruins. Viola had taken away a large number of young and strong laborers with her troops. If she continued to recruit soldiers, it would shake the foundation of the country.

In fact, after Viola entered the Subia Demon Kingdom, the civil servants in the country had sent countless memorials, hoping that Viola could lead the troops back. If the war dragged on, the domestic economy was really not ideal.

But it would definitely not be possible to go back now. If the Subia Demon Kingdom was given a chance to breathe, it would be hard to guarantee whether there would be any disasters in the future.

So Viola withstood the pressure, did not rush for success, and pushed forward steadily step by step.

On the one hand, it could avoid the disadvantage of insufficient troops, and on the other hand, it could bring great pressure to the Subia Demon Kingdom.

After all, it was them who lost their territory now, and the public opinion pressure in the Subia Demon Kingdom was not small. Viola used her power to suppress others, and it depended on when the Subia Demon Kingdom would gather its army.

This kind of pressure is also a means of dividing troops, which can reduce the pressure on the advance of the Guatni Demon Kingdom in the south. After all, you can't just focus on one side when you are attacked from both sides.

And although Guatni is weak, its navy is still good. The navy of Avarus has also been frequently dispatched during this period. Taking advantage of the fact that the Subia Demon Kingdom Navy and Guatni are working together, they block the coastline of the Subia Demon Kingdom and often engage in cross-border operations. Some remote port cities even raised white flags. Before Viola even advanced to them, they were ready to surrender.

Li Chengxi would not raise any objections to Viola's strategy. She would fight however she wanted. After all, Li Chengxi really didn't understand this.

However, even if she advanced steadily, according to the current progress, Viola could achieve the battle plan within this year. As for whether to fight to the capital and complete the so-called "clearing the court" as she claimed, it depends on the situation.

Avarus can still bear it if the war ends within this year, and the war reparations from the Enwei Demon Kingdom have also arrived one after another during this period, so Avarus still has some foundation.

When the war is over, it will be time to engage in production.

A large amount of land has been newly added, and people are needed to develop and manage it.

People are easy to talk about. As long as Viola announces a policy of tax exemption for newly reclaimed land within a few years, a large number of landless people will go there to reclaim land, but management is more troublesome.

Originally, the social structure of Avarus was severely solidified, and the people had almost no upward channel, but the state governance was actually good, so that the people could not afford to live.

If this state is maintained, even if someone rebels, it will be a long time later.

Avarus had experienced a war that almost destroyed the country, and the upper civil servants and hereditary nobles were almost swept away, leaving a large number of vacancies.

However, the local feudal nobles were basically still relatively intact, so when Viola became regent, a large number of positions in the court were watched every day, and there were so many letters of recommendation that she could hardly read them all.

If the local areas are strong, the country will be in chaos, and if the central government is strong, the world will be peaceful.

After all, Avarus is a feudal system, and if the local areas are too strong, the future risks will be great.
