Chapter 1708 Make Money
It's not that the prime minister has not considered talking to the federal president about continuing to increase military deployment, but he also knows that this is unlikely.

The federal people on the Nagalil battlefield have already begun to try to take the initiative. At this time, they will only stabilize their current situation, and it is unlikely that they will take into account Ameria.

For the whole society and the whole world, recruiting fighters who are willing to fight for money is the only way the Prime Minister can think of.

In fact, everyone knew very well that the Peng Jieao people would definitely send people in, but it didn't matter.

Because the mercenaries perform the most dangerous tasks, so that the army of Gefla headquarters will not be dissatisfied if they are allowed to perform non-dangerous tasks, and they will say stupid things like anti-war.

For those mercenaries, they enjoy higher treatment and higher wages, and they are here to fight!

If you win, you will naturally make a lot of money!
If you lose, it's just a life!

Those who are willing to join the mercenary army and fight against Peng Jieao's military group for money must have a great desire for money!
After the news of the cabinet was announced through the conscription news, the entire island fell into heated discussions in public opinion. Some people thought it was a stupid way, and the reason was the same as that of the cabinet members.

They think that the enemy will mix into this mercenary team, and they will pay a lot of military expenses for it, but they will not get too many valuable results. This is obviously a stupid move.

However, some people think that this idea is good, at least those whose family members are still fighting on the front line, or whose family members may go to the front line anytime and anywhere, are very satisfied with this.

Their only hope now is for their families to be safe and survive.

But they seem to have forgotten that once the war fails, they will lose much more than what they may lose now!
Everything that happened in Guafra was also fed back to the federal government in a timely manner. After Mr. Truman learned of the decision of the Prime Minister, he could only express his personal support.

He has no way to give Gefla more assistance, just a few billion in loans, and 20 in the army.

If you send people to the Ameria region, the Nagalil theater may not be able to keep up.

So far, Mr. Truman and the military have fully seen that Gefra is useless at all.

The only thing they can do is to attract a little firepower for the Federation!
In the past, they all regarded Gefla as the federation fighting for world hegemony... no, the biggest obstacle to maintaining world peace. Now it seems that they overestimated Gefla!

A new round of conscription for the Federation is also in progress, but the discussion of the war in the Federation society is more rational and more active.

The good news coming back from the front only serves to spur acceptance of the war, and that the federal government has bigger plans.

At this time, Mr. Truman has already understood a truth. To maintain world peace, it is enough to have the Federation itself. a bit big.

He was answering the phone at this time. On the vast southern continent, some of the vassal states of the Penteio Empire also began to expand around. The war has been fought until now, and both sides are very clear that there is no room for relaxation.

At least until one party falls, there is no room for détente.

The war consumes a lot of resources, and the international copper price has risen to the sky, and it is still rising every day.

In the Penteio Empire, there were gradually other voices.

Just like the anti-war voices that exist in both Gafla and the Federation, it's just that these voices are not so strong, but they already exist!

"Some people have been arrested in various places during this time, how should we deal with them?"

In the palace, a minister asked the emperor about government affairs.

His Majesty the Emperor frowned.

He knew that the arrested people the minister was referring to were the ones who were talking privately about the direction of the war.

These people did not directly stand up and loudly question the development trend of the war, but their actions eventually affected some people.

Some people will stand up to report and expose their behavior of shaking people's hearts, but some people agree with their point of view this time.

In the past, if such a person was caught, he would be thrown into prison. In serious cases, he might be executed directly.

Now that the minister throws this question to himself, he can only explain one situation——

That's the people who got caught, too many!
The brows that the Emperor of the Empire was tightly grasping quickly relaxed, "Have many people been arrested?"

He noticed that the minister used "all over the place" before, which should be quite a lot, he thought.

The minister's expression was also serious, "There are... thousands of people in total."

"Thousands of people!?"

There was some noise in the palace, and some ministers, nobles, and even directly questioned the elders.

Question how they deal with public opinion issues!

In the Penteo Empire, the elders can be regarded as a very special group, they are the representatives of public opinion, from the regional town hall to the imperial palace, there are these people.

From a certain point of view, they also have the work of supervision, management, and guidance for public opinion.

The elders also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the accusations made by the nobles. It was impossible for them to take everyone into consideration, and some of them were reported, and they were the ones who exposed them.

The messy palace made the emperor's expression very ugly. He patted the handrail vigorously, and the hall suddenly became quiet!
In the past, the way to deal with this kind of people was very simple, but now it is indeed a bit tricky, there are too many people.

If there are too many people, it may cause some social problems, but it is also dangerous to let these people in the society.

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it for a while, and finally decided to lock them up.

"In addition to these people, to do a good job in the supervision of public opinion, the elders' house must strengthen the supervision of people's thoughts."

"This time we are facing a completely different opponent from all the enemies we have faced in the past."

"They have a production capacity similar to ours, and their population is not much smaller than ours. This is destined to be a difficult war."

"In a short period of time, it is difficult for us to tell the winner!"

"However, when we can see the victory, it must be a great victory enough to be recorded in the annals of world history, and we will also become the new masters of this world!"

"Now, everything we have paid for it is worth it!"

"I know that the night is very long and difficult, but I believe that the heroic spirits of our ancestors will bless us through the long night until the dawn comes!"

This was His Majesty's statement, and the minister who asked the question sat back down again.

With the emperor's decision, he can deal with those people.

In the Penteio Empire, imprisonment is not necessarily an easy punishment. You must know that any law enforcement agency in feudal society has certain privileges.

It is normal to die in prison. Although there are many of these people, the atmosphere in society has also been affected.

Closing a batch may not be able to act as a deterrent, you still have to kill a batch inside!
Immediately afterwards, someone stood up and kept reporting some of the problems they encountered now, such as the lack of resources.

As a country whose history books are full of foreign wars, Peng Jieao's domestic resources are actually not rich.

In the long history of wars, many foreign expansion wars were launched to seize resources!

This time they are also facing the same problem, copper ore is not enough!

Iron is okay, but copper is really not enough, which is why they started to expand abroad in an all-round way. They need more resources to support this "battle of world belonging".

The problems that were difficult for the ministers to make decisions were resolved in the hands of the emperor. This process was a bit long and lasted for a whole day.

They rested for a while and ate something, and everyone looked very tired.

Every country and every political party has its own achievements and its own problems to face!

At night, people walking on the street tightened their clothes.

During the state of war, there were not many pedestrians in the city of Penteo. As soon as the state of war began, the society began to implement the rationing system.

Who, where to work, how much material and income can be obtained every day or every week, are all stipulated.

This system has been implemented for a long time, and people who do not have much freedom are used to it.

Without much money in people's pockets, business will naturally not flourish, and the whole society will become depressed.

Commercial districts are not very popular, but around different communities, there are different scenes.

Many people gathered together to discuss what happened during this period, discussing the war, discussing production and work.

This is a tradition in Penteio society. It may be that people are more pure and not overwhelmed by "freedom". People are willing to share everything about themselves with others.

This allows each area to have a more lively place.

Everyone sat together according to different circles and said different things.

After eating, an ordinary middle-aged man also joined these lively chats, with a smile on his face.

After finding his old acquaintances in a familiar place, he just sat down, took out a pack of cigarettes, opened them, and handed everyone a cigarette.

"What a day that our cheapskate shares his cigarettes!" jokes one of the guys who participated in the chat, laughing.

The guy who shared the cigarettes was usually stingy, but today he became very generous, which made people wonder if he had some happy event?
Some people tried to test it with words, while others asked him directly.

He didn't say anything, but just grinned sullenly, the smile on his face couldn't be faked, one could see the complacency in his smile, and there was a hint of showing off!
During the state of war, Penteeau’s rationing system reduced everyone’s income sharply. On the surface, it seemed that the government had solved the necessities of people’s lives, but people’s lives were not as simple as filling their stomachs.

Consumption is also the most basic need for people to survive.

Now everyone has little money in their hands, and there are almost no ways to make money. This is why some people question the future.

There is still no hope of victory in sight, how long will such days last?
The middle-aged man took a puff of cigarette happily, then let it out slowly, with a smug look on his face that made him want to punch him!
It may be that he also realized that he was a little underwhelmed now, and in those unfriendly eyes, he revealed a piece of news!
"I have a way to make money..."
