Chapter 2221: Reason 12

Latest website: Jarions has gray hair, meticulously combed hair, and wise eyes gleaming.

Seeing Brisbane looking at him with inquisitive eyes, Jarions sighed: "Your method is good, but it is difficult to implement!"

He directly told Brisbane why.

1. The people in the city are not in harmony.

There are fewer people and more mines. Everyone has gold mine land. Every day we fight for gold, the longer the battle drags on, it will affect everyone's wealth, so we all want to end the battle sooner.

Moreover, the source of white skins in the city is complicated. There are Dutch, Britons, French, Holy Roman Empire, Swedes, Spaniards, and Italians. They are not convinced with each other, and they are not affiliated with each other, and they are scattered!

Speaking of this, Jarions sighed one after another. Although he is the mayor, it is not easy to deal with those unruly nuggets.

As mentioned earlier, the captain of the city hall’s guard, Hessellink, used strong methods to catch the councillors and threaten them with a gun. This is a trivial matter. As the mayor, Jariens was pointed at the gun by the nuggets. There are so many, I'm fed up with the anger of those guys.

Jarrians once said to his cronies in private: "Although the republic is good, it is better to be a monarchy here!"

Johannesburg follows the Dutch mother country's republic. The republic can give people freedom and equality. The disadvantage is that it cannot respond quickly with authority like the monarchy when encountering major events. Because everyone is equal, we have a share!

The procrastination of the Dutch parliament is well-known in the world, and it has become one of the jokes of the monarchy attacking the Netherlands.

2. Lack of food in the city!

Jariens smiled bitterly: "The enemy is coming from a long distance. The most advantageous way to deal with them is to intercept them in the middle. Don't wait for them to fight under the city. How could I not know!"

Oh, it turns out that Lord Mayor is not stupid~www.wuxiaspot.com~Get cash] Follow vx public. Public number [Book Friends Base Camp~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You can also get cash!

"The reason why I didn't send out was because the city lacked food!" Jariens said.

Johannesburg was born out of the sky and grew savagely. The time was too short and the population was too large. The grain fields outside the city were few and far away. The white skins did not have the talent for farming like the Chinese, and they were not self-sufficient in food.

It is necessary to transport grain from other places, the cost is not low, and the grain is transported thousands of miles, and there is no one in ten!

Although Jariens tried his best to increase food, the food in the city has been in a state of tension and the stock is insufficient.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Changwu conquered wherever he conquered, he should be self-sufficient in grain as soon as possible, so that the grain can be full, at least for the locals to eat for one year. This is his way to success.

If you don’t have enough food, you can’t support the far out.

And Bai Pi didn't want to leave the gold mine, so the Chinese had no choice but to let the Chinese go straight in.

Jariens didn't hide Brisbane at all. He asked Brisbane, "Do you know how many months there are grains in the city?"

"How many months?" Brisbane asked hurriedly.

The answer is "three months!"

Brisbane surprised: "So few!"

"This is still the result of my efforts to store food. It is now impossible to transport food overseas. We have to rely on this batch of food to survive, so we have to fight and win quickly, otherwise they won't come and if we don't have food to eat... "

The words of the mayor made Brisbane shudder. He is also an experienced person. When there is a lack of food, if there is no food, then eat people!

After listening to Jarrians' explanation, Brisbane smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He couldn't help but say: "Although gold is cute, it cannot be eaten as food, and it cannot be made into guns and ammunition to meet the enemy!"

"Yes, under certain circumstances, no matter how much gold it is, it's useless!" Jarrians echoed.

Brisbane lifted his spirits and asked: "Why does the Lord Mayor say so much to me?"

"You have talent, but you can be a big deal!" Jariens said bluntly: "I am the mayor. I must lead the army to fight. Fighting is my business. If I win, thank God. If I fail, in case I If you can't come back, you have to take on the big responsibility!"

"I have asked people to transport the grain to the northern mountains. There is a warehouse built there. You can use the grain there. Not many people know this." Jarions took out a drawn drawing and gave it to Briss. Class road.

This is a map that takes a lot of effort. It is drawn very finely, with proper proportions, so that it can be seen at a glance, and it is comparable to Chinese military maps.

Chinese cartography is coming from the Netherlands!

The largest map publisher in the Netherlands, the famous cartographer William Jansson Blau, and his son John Blau, saw the prospect of increasing demand for nautical charts, and collected and produced a large number of the latest nautical charts.

In 1634, the Blau family's cartographic company published the "New Atlas" with 161 maps, and later published the "Great Atlas", which surpassed any previous atlas, and each ocean was painted with trade winds and navigation directions. , And the big sailing ship, the name of the ocean is written in gorgeous fine fonts, and the coastline is shaded exaggeratedly to highlight the three-dimensional effect...

The Chinese have just learned the Dutch cartography and carried it forward. They have sufficient manpower and resources, and the scale of cartography is much larger and more outstanding than the Dutch.

"You are a guest army. When the war starts, I will put you in the back. If it is unfavorable, you will retreat and use the food in the northern mountains to continue to attack the heretics from the east!" Jariens confessed.

"Why am I not someone else, such as Deputy Mayor Clonkamp and Oyer, they are more familiar with this place than I am." Brisbane asked.

Jariens disdainfully said: "They can't do it, they are all reckless. Once the war starts, they want to fight over. It's hard to say whether they can survive!"

The mayor said: "We must never surrender, and we must not give our efforts to those heretics. We have lost Southeast Asia, and we cannot lose the gold mine. If we lose the gold mine, the Netherlands will be devastated and won't be able to win!"

He grabbed Brisbane's hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~ nervously and said: "We must be fully vigilant, we must be fully vigilant, we must defeat the heretics!"

Brisbane nodded repeatedly and said: "I must work hard, for God, for the Netherlands, for Johannesburg!"

After explaining some precautions, Jariens said goodbye first.

Looking at the old man's slightly rickety back, Brisbane respected him.

This is a steadfast patriot who is fearless in the face of a strong enemy. He has a sense of the future, but he did not push the matter out. Instead, he chose to face the strong enemy bravely. If Jariens decides Staying in the back line by himself, then he is likely to survive.

Stirring the frozen coffee in his cup blankly, Brisbane couldn't help but wonder.

If the head-on battle fails, then you have to switch to guerrilla warfare and use the stock of grain in the northern mountainous areas to persist in fighting, hoping to waste until the heretics are running out of grain to retreat.

With a slight sigh, Brisbane drank the coffee, only feeling bitter!
