Chapter 2587: Not Enough
...
It can be said that such simple words have intoxicated many people to the point that they forget the difficulty of this matter.
After waking up from these tempting words, Fars Sassan looked at Milan Wop with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Unconsciously, even he was affected by this power. Is this really the maker of destiny?
If every weaver has such power, then is the future constructed by these people really the future that the Empire wants?
"The war with the Roman Empire is essentially a war of national strength. In addition to increasing one's own national strength, it is also about weakening the other side's national strength and destroying its foundation!" Milan Wop slowly walked among the crowd, pointed to the tent space, pointed to the map of the Syrian province displayed on it, and said in a very calm voice, "Every invasion of the Roman Empire relies on the strength of its eastern provinces to provide logistical supplies, and then after entering the country, it relies on plundering and looting for supplies, and robs our wealth..."
It can be said that after attracting everyone's attention by throwing out some ideas, Milan Wop finally said what he really wanted to say.
The Roman Empire's eastern province was a large one. It was not only prosperous, but also had abundant food and fodder, and a particularly large population.
It can be said that the Roman Empire managed this place as real land and regarded it as the true heartland of the empire.
If one wants to severely damage the Roman Empire and slow down its offensive power, then clearing the land and building strong defenses becomes the only option.
"The other party has also been doing this before. If we do it again, the effect will not be much better. What's the point of wasting manpower and resources like this?" Wald pointed out the shortcomings of this method, which also showed that he was not optimistic about this method.
"The opponent's scorched earth strategy is not thorough, and what we need is a thorough scorched earth strategy!" When Milan Wop said this, even with a calm tone, he could not hide the enthusiasm in the corners of his eyes.
"Completely clear the countryside?" Wald was dazed when he heard this. He didn't understand what the difference was.
"Of course, whether it's food, personnel, or even roads and buildings, they all have to be cleared away!" Milan Wop's calm words were cruel and bloodthirsty.
So many people who heard this sentence, after realizing what was happening, moved away from Milan Wop.
Instead of feeling scared about this kind of thing, he felt excited. The guy opposite him was definitely not a normal person.
Everyone knows that nobles are perverted, but no one has ever thought that they can be perverted to this extent.
The population of Rome's eastern provinces numbered in the millions, or even tens of millions. If they really did this, their small number of people would be like stones thrown into the sea, without even a single wave.
As if he understood everyone's thoughts, Milan Wop shook his head and added, "Of course, we can't completely clean up the entire Eastern Province of Rome."
After these words were spoken, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. After all, actually implementing this strategy would put a lot of psychological pressure on everyone.
Although they were fighting for the country, the army's discipline was not very good and had deteriorated to such a chaotic level.
Excessive killing and cleansing will only bring the army to another negative side, a negative side that cannot be controlled. This is an unacceptable reality for most generals. It is difficult to get out of indulging in killing and slaughter.
Any normal person will feel pain when being hit, and will remember the feeling of pain so that he or she can dodge and resist when being attacked.
But it is also because of this that whenever people attack and kill, there will always be a trace of kindness in their hearts, because they know very well what they are doing.
However, the upper and lower limits of human beings are ultimately a very magical thing.
Just as some people are not afraid of pain, some people are not able to show mercy.
It can be said that when everyone's mood was a little calmer, Milan Wop added, "But we cleaned up the cities we captured along the way, which should not be difficult. We can forcibly relocate the food supplies and population, and as for the buildings inside, we can just burn them all, and directly demolish the city walls. If we fight back one day, we won't have to face those troublesome city walls anymore..."
This method is indeed much better than the method everyone heard at the beginning, but it is not that bad either.
"What's the benefit of doing this? You should know that as long as we do this, the relationship between us and Rome will be a fight to the death?" Wald asked with a somewhat grim face.
Everyone knows that the Roman Empire is strong, but if you still offend them in this regard, you may want to die tomorrow...
"Isn't there an endless war between us and Rome?" Milan Wop said with some disdain, "After hundreds of years of war, you don't still have illusions about the Roman Empire, do you?"
"This reason alone is not enough!" Vologases V crossed his hands and looked at Milan Wop with a heavy face.
For an ambitious monarch, relocating some people or burning a few cities has never been a problem.
The question is what kind of benefits and results can be obtained by doing this, this is the most important thing!
An emperor can be emotionless, but he must have the ability to judge interests.
"The people in the cities of the eastern provinces of Rome are either Roman citizens or relatively wealthy Roman barbarians. Rome has a citizen redemption system. Regardless of the former or the latter, they can all bring back wealth. What's more, these people themselves are also excellent laborers..." Milan Wop said the most superficial and basic gains, while setting his sights on Vologases V.
After seeing that Vologases V did not waver at all, Milan Wop nodded in satisfaction, and then added calmly, "If Your Majesty sends people to do it personally, there may not be enough manpower and the effect will not be ideal. But if you ask the nobles to help, I think there should be enough manpower..."
"Asshole, you are doing this entirely for the sake of those nobles. We worked so hard to capture the city, is it just for those people to gain benefits? To let people like you gain benefits?!" Before Milan Wop could finish his words, Omzada knocked on the table in front of him and started attacking directly in his face, with the saliva almost flying onto Milan Wop's face.
However, Milan Wop didn't care about it at all. Instead, he looked at Vologases V calmly, waiting for Vologases V to speak.
