Mecha Start, Nuclear Bomb Tokyo

"Almost." An Yi nodded: "The work of educating the people must be carried out, but it will take a lot of time...From now on, basic education will be popularized..."

Yes.

Emancipating the minds of the people can only begin with education.

This requires a lot of money and time.

Fortunately, it was confiscated in the aristocratic area of ​​the imperial capital yesterday, and An Yi found a terrifying fortune from the homes of those dead nobles——

If converted into treasury tax revenue, the money collected last night was equivalent to ten years of tax revenue for the entire empire.

This is a very scary number.

It means that even if the empire can barely operate without taxation for ten years from now.

This can also show how rotten and dilapidated the former empire was.

But because of this, An Yi didn't have to worry about such things as funding and money.

In the period when a thousand things are waiting to be built, money and these things are needed to rebuild.

"Really?" Chelsea made an inch, wanting to pinch An Yi's palm.

Then--

Snapped!

"Just before that..." An Yi slapped away the white palm that Chelsea touched: "We also need to deal with the private soldiers who enfeoff nobles everywhere."

"..." Chelsea.

Chelsea covered the back of her red hand, couldn't help but glared at him, then bit the lollipop in her mouth into pieces as if angry: "It's just some private soldiers of the nobles, even if there are uprisings all over the country It’s nothing, you know we have this guy now—”

Chelsea moved her fingers.

White fog flickers.

A tall, mature-looking woman with ice-blue hair and a military cap walked out of it.

"Hey, how's it going? My Esdesh has changed."

Chelsea, who turned into Esdeath, laughed.

I have to say that [Gaia Foundation] Teigu is really capable, and it is very useful in certain places.

"That's right." An Yi nodded, looking away from Esdesh's chest as if nothing had happened.

"Let me tell you..." Chelsea, who had turned back into her main body, looked at An Yi in disbelief: "Did you just look at my breasts?"

"To be precise, it's not yours." An Yi's tone remained unchanged.

"You bastard... mine is big too, okay...? And why are you so confident?"

Chelsea's eyes widened, and she was about to continue talking.

But it's not over yet.

An Yi glanced at her sideways, shook her head, and said, "Leave aside that irrelevant topic, and continue the discussion just now. In fact, not only private soldiers of the nobles gathered in various places, but also the revolutionary army and the surrounding foreign nationalities seem to be here." joined forces with them."

"Oh...? Is that so? The Revolutionary Army... and other nations have joined forces?"

Chelsea was taken aback, but she quickly asked in an unbelievable tone: "Wait a minute... An Yi, are you deliberately avoiding the topic...? Is the topic of my chest just irrelevant? ?”

"Yes." An Yi nodded, not sure if he was definitely avoiding the topic on purpose or if Chelsea's breasts didn't matter.

This guy! ! !

Chelsea gritted her teeth at An Yi's unchanging expression.

But at this moment, she could tell which was more important, so she frowned and asked: "If they really gather together... then it should be a huge army, right?"

As an assassin within the Revolutionary Army, Chelsea still has a vague understanding of the number of sergeants.

Chelsea frowned and began to calculate: "The total number of the Revolutionary Army is about 10...and that doesn't count the private soldiers trained by the upper echelons of the Revolutionary Army..."

Calculate it like this.

There are [-] to [-] soldiers in the revolutionary army alone.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying number.

"The next step is to count the private soldiers of the nobles in various places and the situation of foreign nationalities..."

"According to the statistics in the palace, nobles from all over the world have been hoarding private soldiers in recent years... The reason given to the original emperor was to resist the rebels from all over the place, and there are more than 5 people in total."

An Yi kindly explained.

Another 5 people?

Shocked by the astonishing number of people, Chelsea opened her mouth: "This is almost 20 people...?"

Before she knew it, had such an astonishing number of soldiers been hoarded outside the imperial capital?

"Including the number of people from the surrounding foreign ethnic groups, the overall calculation should have exceeded 20 people."

Chelsea muttered to herself with a blank expression.

More than 20 people...

What kind of number is this?

Not to mention that the revolutionary army has gathered Teigu in recent years.

There are at least ten Tegushi in the army.

but--

"We also have Esdeth's army here..."

Chelsea tried to cheer herself up.

"Esdes's army can only count as more than 5 people even if it is a cook."

An Yi said beside him: "But... that's fine."

"...I can't hear the slightest 'good' factor in your words."

Chelsea's mouth twitched.

More than 20 troops are gathering outside the imperial capital, and they will arrive at the imperial capital in a few days, and they will attack the city...

She couldn't be as calm as An Yi.

"It's easier to deal with them if they gather together."

An Yi said in a flat tone.

Then he narrowed his eyes: "20 people, if they really want to flee in all directions, it will be difficult to deal with."

If he and Estes really took the shot, it would not be a big problem to disintegrate the 20 patchwork.

But if that is the case, deserters are bound to appear.

Deserters can only fall into the ranks of robbers or robbers, and dealing with them afterwards will only bring a burden to the newborn country.

This is why An Yi did not forcibly use force to suppress it.

After all, the world still cannot throw nuclear bombs like throwing toys.

There will still be people living on the land after the war is over.

It is best to serve it in one pot directly, so as to avoid future troubles——

and...

"There are more than 20 people in this kind of weather in winter, whether it is food, housing or transportation, it is a problem."

An Yi said while thinking.

Chapter 85. The relationship between Estes and An Yi

In the far north of the imperial capital.

"This is food for our family to spend the whole winter. It is the food distributed by the imperial capital... I beg you... I beg you..."

The man knelt down in front of a revolutionary army requisition team, weeping bitterly.

This made the revolutionary army somewhat at a loss.

The young ones opened their mouths.

After a while, a relatively mature-looking young revolutionary soldier supported the food trailer with a face full of shame, and said, "...I'm sorry...we are also following orders."

Yes.

They too are following orders.

The upper level just came with an order.

Grain will be forcibly expropriated from villages along the route.

Violence can even be used if there is resistance.

But because many low-level soldiers in the revolutionary army were from poor people, they couldn't bear to use violence against the villagers... so the food collection action was infinitely slowed down.

"...is it really right for us to do this...?"

Looking at the grain bag on the carriage with the logo of An Yi's internal affairs officer, the revolutionary army's grain requisition team fell into confusion.

Yes.

confused.

Compared with the comfort of constantly sending food to difficult areas on the border.

Are these crusaders really right?

As soldiers, they cannot resist orders from above.

But that doesn't stop them from thinking.

"...Is it really right to oppose An Yi?"

Someone couldn't help but speak: "Although our army has been preaching that it is easy to kill innocent people indiscriminately, it is a terrifying tyrant...but... would cruel people really send food to the villagers on such a border?"

This is in the far north.
