Utopia - Chapter 576 Why fight Pokoblin?
In any case, Irving is now somewhat grateful that the Orchid Republic has begun to adopt artillery tactics.
After all, for now, mountain warfare is actually the most suitable battlefield for artillery, especially mortars.
However, the Orchid Republic has recently used its main fiscal revenue on the navy and air force, and has less support for the army and even the research and development of related weapons and equipment.
So much so that even the arms dealers of the Krurod Empire are talking about whether they should come to such a place with simple and conservative folk customs to do business. After all, the Orchid Republic is not a pauper, although the Fran (the legal currency of the Orchid Republic) issued by them has basically no value internationally. At most, only the Kingdom of Negan is willing to regard it as a kind of foreign exchange reserve for trade between the two countries.
But there is one thing that the Orchid Republic is very good at, that is, accepting trade in the form of barter.
In the past history, because the Fran is a currency based on millet, the Kingdom of Negan has received a lot of millet as a high-end food for the royal family and even the nobles.
As for why millet? It’s very simple. Before the introduction of rice and wheat in the Orchid Republic, the people of the whole country used millet as their staple food. Of course, today, millet is an annual crop, so it needs to be planted in slightly acidic and neutral fertile loam or sandy loam with high terrain, convenient drainage, deep soil layer, and soft texture. As a result, many of the original arable land in the Orchid Republic is on the mountain, and it is easy to attract various monsters including Bokoblin.
So with the arrival of wheat and rice in the Orchid Republic, the staple food type of the Orchid Republic has changed to a certain extent and is conducive to the transportation of materials. After all, the transportation cost of millet planted in the mountains is not low, and it is easy to face external dangers. Even the successive ruling officials of the Orchid Republic have talked about building roads and bridges over and over again.
However, the terrain of the Orchid Republic is low in the west and high in the east, and the difficulty of developing mountainous areas is much greater than that of the Kingdom of Negan, which has no shortage of various engineering equipment and engineers. Therefore, with the planting of rice on the swamps where the Orchid Republic could not build any infrastructure, the Orchid Republic, which finally fed the people, now has the military action of gathering border troops to clear the monsters in the border areas.
In addition, during a certain foreign war, a frontier defense force discovered a kind of sorghum grass with red poles growing next to a geyser that occasionally sprayed hot water during patrol and reconnaissance. It can be used as food, and after being used for sugar making and wine making, the sugar and even high-proof liquor produced by the Orchid Republic became a foreign trade punch.
It was from that time that the Japanese people of the Krurod Empire, who liked to drink, began to import sorghum wine. However, due to the conservative and isolated national policy of the Orchid Republic, the Krurod Empire can only rely on unofficial channels, that is, various “powerful” private arsenals sent representatives to the Orchid Republic to see if they can open up trade routes in the Orchid Republic.
In fact, no matter how it is said here, the Orchid Republic itself knows that it will continue to “seclude itself”, but they still have a considerable sense of rejection and distrust of the outside world.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present,, install the latest version. 】
Especially, the citizens of the Orchid Republic, as descendants of slaves who escaped from the Elsa Continent, are more worried than anyone else whether the Elsa Continent will use this as an excuse to launch a war against them.
Similarly, they know the iron rule that if they lag behind, they will be beaten. For this reason, they have not stopped contact with the outside world, and even deeper economic exchanges. However, their lack of confidence has led to a concept, that is, a strict defense policy in national defense.
As a result, some missing ships and aircraft often appear in the military museum of the Orchid Republic; some equipment that should not belong to the military and police of the Orchid Republic is used quite a lot by the military and police of the Orchid Republic.
Anyway, if any country comes to question them, the Orchid Republic will always prevaricate in the name of floating garbage on the sea. For example, they have been using [To be honest, they have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. ] 5mm caliber howitzers, which are not military equipment of the Orchid Republic, and the models they are equipped with are somewhat similar to the naval guns of the Pig-headed Man.
As long as everyone is not stupid, everyone can guess that the Orchid Republic must have secretly sunk the pig-headed ships that were in civil war and fighting endlessly in the country. However, how the Orchid Republic imitated and improved it is something that no one can easily get the answer to.
The fact that the Orchid Republic Navy now has battleships is enough to prove the industrial development achievements of the Orchid Republic in the past hundred years.
But then again, as a mortar shell exploded in the red Pokbulin team, other blue Pokbulins took away some invisible things on their bodies and retreated immediately. Irving felt whether the blue little ghost could see or even feel something called ghosts in the rumors.
The resurrection spell is a forbidden spell in all countries in the world. Countries like the Iron Fist Empire and the Bracada Republic take away the wizards who understand and know how to use the resurrection spell from ordinary society and isolate them in some hard-to-find or even unheard-of safe living areas.
And taking the Holy Church, the state religion of the Iron Fist Empire, as an example, the god they worship is famous for his ability to resurrect hundreds of fallen soldiers in the blink of an eye. For this reason, until now, the secret of the Iron Fist Empire’s desire for resurrection spells is known to the world.
Unfortunately, compared to resurrection, another spell that appeared in the Elsa Continent, which was also invented by the gods but has not received the attention of the mainstream voices of the world for a long time, and is even disliked, is the necromancy spell. This is the first excellent means to restrain the mind control spells of the demons so far.
Among the necromancy spells, the summoning of the dead, which directly drives the dead and makes them “come alive” like a puppet, is what the priests of the Secret Keeper Cult now think of as a derivative and degraded version of the resurrection spell, or more accurately, an unsuccessful version.
After all, this is also a spell to “revive” a motionless corpse. Of course, such “resurrection” has also led to the popularity of the cremation system. After all, no one wants to become a toy of a necromancer after his death. The act of desecrating the dead is a very serious crime all over the world, and this is also the fundamental reason why necromancers and necromancy are gradually dying out.
