Ark: I adopted Seria at the beginning

Half a month after the library fire.

Having completely lost any ability to resist, Letania was like a frail old man being bullied at will by the giant Scorpio Group.

However, Queen White does have some ability. She is considering whether to completely close the country and fight the Scorpio Group head-on.

But Huang Cheng would not give her this opportunity. Do you think there will be no bloodshed by closing the country to the outside world? It will just be a slow death.

Although Leithania is a feudal country, it does have a lot of resources. Although it has suffered serious resource loss in recent times, as long as it preserves the last bit of strength, it can still survive this difficult period.

But the upper class has the intention, while the lower class has no intention.

Huang Cheng had long expected that Queen Bai would use this trick, so he had a more advanced way to deal with it.

Maintaining your original strength can make you so exhausted, how will you deal with it if you also fight a war of public opinion?

I still have a lot of economic means that I haven't used yet.

Prices in all areas of Leitania have soared to three times their original levels, and each mobile city has limited resource reserves.

The communication in this world is so poor that the White Queen wanted to set up a nationwide unified resource management organization a few weeks ago, trying to rely on centralized macro-control of resources to counter the economic sanctions of the Scorpio Group.

But the method is good, and the nobles will probably cooperate. After all, although the nobles are stupid, they are not that stupid.

But they were all a step slow, as the mobile cities between different countries were quite far apart.

Since real-time network communication is not possible, the speed of information transmission is extremely slow.

It took several days for a flying vehicle to deliver the message to other mobile cities. By the time the White Queen's order reached the entire country, nearly a week had passed.

This week is enough to change a lot of things.

Huang Cheng’s economic sanctions were launched too suddenly. The country’s mobile cities had no time to react, and the resources they had had almost all been bought by the Scorpio Group.

Moreover, the mayors of these cities all think: After I sell the resources in my city, I can use the money to buy them in other cities, and I can still make a fortune!

However, the mayors of these mobile cities did not understand one fact, that is, there were no resources left in other mobile cities, as they had all been bought up by the Scorpio Group.

By the time the White Queen's order reached them, it was already too late.

At this time, the mobile city could only seek to protect itself, and it was unable to transfer food to support its own queen.

It is better to prevent the mobs under your command from rebelling first. As for the Queen, goodbye!

Huang Cheng bought not only food, but also the country's source stone minerals. The mobile city would be stranded without energy.

The timing for him to launch the economic war was also very good. It happened to be the time when the country was harvesting grain, and when he first started purchasing grain, the price was relatively low.

Moreover, Huang Cheng just happened to buy up all the grain that had been harvested in this country, leaving the country with no resources to continue harvesting.

No crops can be grown at the turn of spring and winter. If you want to sow, you have to wait until next spring.

The harvest will have to wait until at least the end of summer. How should Leitania spend this time?

The collapse of a country is the result of the accumulation of many factors. Without the fertilizers, machinery and seeds provided by the Scorpio Group, the grain produced next year may not necessarily make up for the deficit of the previous year.

Moreover, there are nobles who are enriching themselves, so there will definitely not be enough food next year.

What’s more, Huang Cheng is already waging a war of public opinion, and this country may not even have next year.

"Master, do you want to overthrow the White Queen's orthodox status and support the descendants of the Witch King to come to power..." Abacus offered a plan.

It has to be said that this proposal is indeed very attractive and is more likely to gain the support of the nobles, and can even greatly shorten the time it takes for the two queens to step down.

But Huang Cheng did not intend to make things difficult for Black Key and White Chalk.

Because the scorpion wants to eradicate the current feudal system in Leitania, he does not allow nobles, at least no nobles who do not belong to him, to continue to exist in this country.

......

At this time, at the top of the Gemini Queen Tower.

The White Queen looked at the book in her hands with a haggard face.

The pressure from all over the country weighed on her, making this Terran superhuman feel a little breathless.

The two Gemini queens are not very old, just in their early thirties.

He has only been in power in this country for more than a decade.

These ten years were really too short, even shorter than the time a certain noble had managed the territory.

At this time, the White Queen's desk was piled with various letters, all of which were letters asking for help sent to her by her nobles.

There was also a pile of letters on the table asking for help that she had written specifically to these nobles.

As a result, before I could ask them for help, they asked me for help instead.

All we can say is that feudal aristocrats are like this, and it's no wonder that Huang Cheng regards these guys as thorns in his eyes and bones in his flesh.

"What should I do..." The White Queen touched her dry hair. If her hair was not originally white, what happened in the past month would be enough to turn her hair white overnight.

The Black Queen was staying in another tower and had no intention of helping the White Queen.

Although the Black Queen had recovered from the wounds she suffered from the mecha when she broke into the Scorpio Group Building, the White Queen took the opportunity to seize her military power.

The White Queen did use political means to achieve the unification of the military and politics, and there is indeed no one in Leitania with more power than her.

But...If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight...

There was also trouble in the military. Due to the closure of Scorpio Group's factories, a large number of newly purchased military equipment broke down and the corresponding parts could not be replaced. The biggest problem was the shortage of consumables.

After all, both bows and crossbows and guided weapons need to launch something to achieve training purposes, and consumables are a big part of fiscal expenditure.

Compared with other problems, the problem of military equipment is just a small matter. Leitania is not so wasteful as to throw away all the old equipment after replacing it with new equipment.

At worst, the new equipment can be thrown away and replaced with old equipment, which can also get rid of the dependence on Scorpio Group's equipment.

But these are not the key points. The key point is the salaries of military personnel, which is also the root cause of the turmoil in the military.

Because many people who came out of the military found that their wages were not enough to buy anything on the market.

The prices of almost all commodities have tripled, and some have even increased fivefold.

So everyone in the army quit their job and started demanding pay raises.

The Queen's personal soldiers don't mind this salary, but they can't let elite units fill the gaps in the war.

We cannot expect the military morals of a feudal country to be very noble.

If you don't pay them wages, they will make trouble.

Most feudal countries did not have a so-called social security system, and even if they did, it was better than nothing.

But how can the White Queen have money now...

“Can we print more banknotes…?”

At this time, Queen White suddenly remembered an economics book she had read a few years ago...
