At the same time, on the side of Holy Light Holy See...

"Henry, it's obviously not possible to continue like this."

Luo Ji threw the latest order from his superiors on the table, and the look on his face was filled with headache and madness.

"The previous war finally ended, and now it's a war with other forces. What makes me even more annoyed is that so many resources are needed! Those guys who only know about fighting don't know what's going on in the country now.

How tight are resources? If we continue like this, let alone stagnant development, the development of the Holy Light Holy See will go backwards!"

When talking about the latter part, Luo Ji, who was obviously agitated, and even Henry Bol, who didn't slap the table on the spot, was also sweating coldly.

In Henry Bol's impression, Luo Ji's character had always been very calm, and he rarely got so excited.

From this we can also see how bad the other party's mood is now.

But it’s not that Henry Boole couldn’t understand.

Because in fact, when Henry Boer learned of the latest order from above, his mood was completely consistent with Luo Ji's at that time.

Even now, he had the urge to scold his mother, and almost started scolding her along with Luo Ji.

Fortunately, he finally endured it...

"Calm down, Scarlet, calm down, I'm also very annoyed about this matter!"

The moment he said the word 'annoyed', Luo Ji could clearly feel Henry Bol's mood swings, and even his voice rose by several decibels.

Because in the Holy Light Holy See, Henry Bol and Luo Ji happened to be responsible for development, and they were familiar with each other. At the same time, in recent years, the Holy Light Holy See's military ignored development and frequently launched wars.

The act of taking away resources has already raised the dissatisfaction in both of his hearts to a certain level.

I originally thought that after the destruction of the Void Zerg, they would finally be able to recuperate and develop with peace of mind.

Who would have thought that the Holy Light Holy See's military would actually start a war again?!

At that time, Henry Boll, who learned the news earlier than Luo Ji, was in a state of shock.

At this moment, he had to resist the urge to scold Luo Ji together and tell him to calm down.

However, at this time, Luo Ji obviously would not calm down just because of Henry Bol's words of calm.

"Calm down? Henry, how do you want me to calm down now?! Don't you know what the domestic development situation is now?! Are you still fighting? Are you asking us for resources? Anyway, I don't know what to do anymore!"

At this moment, Luo Ji's rhetorical question left Henry Bol speechless. The last words spoke Henry Bol's heart.

Yes, the Holy Light Holy See has really been operating to its limit in recent years. Basically, the resources produced are just enough to maintain the frontline army operations, leaving no room for development.

In fact, let alone development, just maintaining domestic development without regression is already the result of all their efforts.

Under this premise, this extreme operation cannot be maintained forever.

Because the productivity of the Holy Light Holy See is limited, in the case of assembling a large army and launching high-intensity military operations, the resources required for frontline operations require them to mobilize labor from all parties in the rear, so that the people can do their best to engage in production.

In order to keep up.

In other words, they need to squeeze the labor force of the people below to a certain extent.

In the previous wars, considering the existence of foreign enemies, the people still understood that there was nothing they could do, so for the sake of long-term peace, they could still grit their teeth and endure the squeeze of labor for the sake of long-term peace.

Of course, another very important reason is that while Luo Ji and Henry Boer squeezed the labor force, they also paid them more wages.

During the war, domestic supplies were also expensive because a large amount of the labor force was deployed to serve the frontline army. This led to a decrease in the productivity of many civilian supplies and a natural increase in prices.

Therefore, even if it is to survive, many people do not mind squeezing themselves in exchange for more income.

But the body has its limits. After being squeezed to a certain point, the body will inevitably collapse from fatigue.

At the same time, due to a series of impacts of the war, the domestic atmosphere has become extremely depressing. Let's not talk about the Yiren side. Anyway, in the human urban area, the people's dissatisfaction and war weariness have become increasingly serious.

Henry Boer was naturally aware of this, and he believed that this was the main reason why Luo Ji was in such a bad mood today.

As his thoughts whirled, Henry Bol took out two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator and opened them.

"You can just talk about these words here with me, but never say them out."

While talking, Henry Boer handed a bottle of beer to Luo Ji, took another bottle of beer and took a sip into his mouth.

Originally, the two of them would never drink alcohol when talking about serious business, but Henry Bol felt that they really needed to relax their emotions about this matter.

"I know, I'm not stupid."

As he spoke, Luo Ji raised his head, and after draining the entire bottle, he slammed the beer bottle onto the table.

"But let me make it clear first. In addition to the squeeze on labor force, the previous wars have made many people feel dissatisfied due to the scarcity of many materials and the rise in prices. If this continues, what will happen?

, I can’t guarantee that.”

After saying that, Luo Ji leaned back and assumed a posture of "You can do whatever you want!"

In response, Henry Bol sighed deeply, then waved to Luo Ji, motioning for him to bring his head closer.

Then, Henry Boer lowered his voice and said...

"In fact, Lord Best, who is now the chief consul, is also very resistant to this military operation, but we have no choice, because this is the order of the 'Lord'."

The moment Henry Bol said that word, Luo Ji's expression changed obviously.

At the same time, he also knew that once he said this, there would be no room for turning around in this war.

"Why? Why are we fighting? Just because there are some frictions on the front line?"

"Even I don't know much about this. After all, you and I are only responsible for the development of the rear."

Having said this, Henry Boer patted Luo Ji on the shoulder to express comfort.

But what Henry Bol didn't know was that all Luo Ji's performances up to now were just an act.

Its fundamental purpose is to understand the reasons for this war and to prevent it as much as possible.

After all, he knew that the ones who were going to fight the Holy Light Holy See at this stage were the coalition forces in the known universe.

According to his and Ye Qingxuan's original plan, they wanted the other side of the known universe to successfully establish diplomatic relations with the Holy Light Kingdom. After the two sides could live in peace and have contacts, Ye Qingxuan would have more opportunities to rescue him.
