Chapter 1330 The Heyday of the Britannia Empire

March 1, 298 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, General Staff, Conference Room.

The layout of the general staff conference room is very simple.

There are only a map of the continent hanging on the north wall, a map of the Britannia Empire hanging on the south wall, a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the east, several doors on the west, and a long table in the center - an extremely simple layout. .

If there is one characteristic of a conference room, it should be that it is big.

After all, in normal times, the 24 staff officers of the General Staff hold meetings in this conference room.

Sometimes people from other departments will also attend the meeting, such as the General Logistics Department, the General Finance Administration, the General Administration of Foreign Affairs... Therefore, in order to accommodate so many people, this conference room was designed to be quite large. The long table in the center has also been specially lengthened and widened.

There were only two people in the huge conference room at this time.

A young man with black hair, and an old man with gray hair.

This black-haired young man is Su Cheng, who is 26 years old this year.

The white-haired old man was Humphrey, who was transferred to the post of Chief of the General Transport Department two years ago.

Su Cheng was holding several pieces of paper filled with various numbers in his hand, frowning slightly and looking at them seriously.

Humphrey sat silently next to Su Cheng, quietly drinking the black tea in his cup while waiting for Su Cheng to finish browsing the data on the pieces of paper in his hand.

After carefully reading every word on the pieces of paper in his hand, Su Cheng put down the paper in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's amazing..."

Su Cheng smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect... the amount of luggage that our country can quickly mobilize is so amazing..."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Humphrey on the side also smiled bitterly and continued:

"After my subordinates counted the quantities of various baggage items and presented them to me, I was shocked myself."

Humphrey took another sip of the tea in the cup, then sighed softly and said with emotion:

"It's really... just like a dream... It only took us just 3 years to...

It healed the pain suffered in the Great Patriotic War three years ago. "

"The comprehensive national strength has surpassed the heyday in early 295."

Originally, all the subjects of the Britannia Empire, including Ilsa, agreed that the heyday of their country in the past ten years was the period at the beginning of the 295th year of the Imperial Calendar before the Great Patriotic War broke out. period.

After the Great Patriotic War ended, most people thought that as long as the country could be restored to its heyday in early 295, that would be enough.

Originally everyone thought so.

Until——Camille took over the position of palace minister.

Until——Camille assisted Ilsa and launched a series of new policies.

In just three years, their Britannia Empire not only completely emerged from the haze of the Great Patriotic War three years ago, but its comprehensive national strength also surpassed its heyday in early 295 of the Imperial Calendar.

After listening to Humphrey's words, Su Cheng looked at the pieces of paper just placed on the table with a complicated expression.

Su Cheng strongly disagrees with the two major policies of "land collection order" and "plantation construction" led by Camille.

But Su Cheng had to admit that these two cruel and ruthless policies of Kamil did indeed allow their country's national strength to grow rapidly in a short period of time.

Especially the construction of plantations.

In the two years since Camille took over the position of palace minister, the ships sent to the New World have never stopped.

One fleet after another headed for the New World.

Then the aborigines and gold of the New World were brought back batch after batch.

These aboriginal people who were captured by the Britannian Empire were all driven to the plantations built in the western part of the empire and made to serve as slaves for farming.

They will no longer have a dazzling life. They have only one job for the rest of their lives - to help Britannia farm the land.

The food they worked so hard to grow will not be owned by them.

More than 90% of the food they have worked so hard to grow will be confiscated by the central government.

Only a very small amount of food was left for them to survive, and then they continued to help the Britannia people farm.

This policy of capturing people as lifelong slaves is extremely cruel.

Su Cheng was extremely disgusted by this.

But this cruel policy actually made the Britannia Empire's national power leap forward.

Last year, that is, the amount of grain stored in the warehouse in 297 of the Imperial Calendar was three times that of 296 of the Imperial Calendar.

With such an income, just using the adjective "amazing" to describe it is already somewhat inadequate.

The establishment of plantations not only ensured the country's food income, but also ensured the country's soldiers.

With a large number of slaves from the New World farming for them, the Britannia Empire naturally did not need so many farmers to stay in the fields to farm.

These liberated farmers are all high-quality soldiers.

In the 297th year of the Imperial Calendar last year, Palace Minister Kamil personally took the lead and established a group.

This group is often called the "household registration group".

Because this group has only one main job - to reorganize household registrations across the country.

After becoming the palace minister of the Britannia Empire, while working continuously, Camille gradually discovered that the household registration information of the Britannia Empire seemed a bit outdated.

It's all information from several years ago.

After a careful check, Camille found out why the household registration information was so outdated - because the Britannia Empire had something important to do almost every year since several years ago.

These major events one after another made the central government of the Britannia Empire unable to update the country's household registration information.

In Camille's... no, it should be said that in the eyes of all knowledgeable people on the continent, the Britannia Empire now has three huge advantages that far exceed other countries.

The first advantage - the Britannia Empire is currently the only country capable of sending an ocean-going fleet.

Therefore, the Britannia Empire can monopolize the New World and its resources.

The second advantage - the "straight road" connecting various important places across the country.

The existence of the "straight road" not only promoted the commercial development of the Britannia Empire, but also made the Britannia Empire's speed of mobilizing troops and the speed of allocating supplies reach a level that is enough to make people dumbfounded.

The third advantage - also the biggest advantage of the Britannia Empire in the eyes of many people, including Camille: a household registration system that is far more perfect than other countries.

The perfect household registration system allows the central government of the Britannia Empire to clearly know which place has more young and strong people, which place has more men, which place has fewer men, and how many newborns there will be in the next year...

Knowing how many young and strong people in your country can farm and serve in the army - this is an extremely terrifying ability.

Camille has always believed that if the Britannia Empire can really conquer the Three Kingdoms in the future, the biggest contribution will definitely not be because of the powerful four knights or the material advantages that far exceed those of other countries.

Rather, it is the "household registration system" that allows the central government of the empire to know how many young and strong people there are in their country.
