An emperor visits his immense empire
1105 Words
In a luxurious room, Emperor Queralt awoke after staying up late at night.
Stretching his hands, he walked to the window and opened the curtains so he could see the beautiful capital of Powonida.
The people passing by and the new cars moving around were quite a pleasant sight.
“The implementation of the reform in the capital to only use cars works correctly, especially electric cars.
Although they are inferior to gasoline cars, they do not generate pollution and we leave gasoline cars only for the army.
We cannot waste valuable resources in civilian life when we have a war to prepare for.
But I still find it hard to believe that it has been 25 weeks since we came to this place. We are only two more weeks away from reaching half a year. “
Emperor Queralt sighed and prepared to start his day, for today he had many things to do.
The first thing he did was take a bath and after that he went to the kitchen where he had breakfast before going to the house of lords as he had to meet with the ministers.
When he left Petit’s palace, he got into his car and looked with joy at the thousands of propaganda posters that were there.
In all of them, the population was encouraged to join the human liberation army. He could also see some recruitment posts where there were quite long lines.
‘I hope we can continue to get recruits. We need to be very well prepared with millions of troops to start the war.
I just hope the elves aren’t powerful enough to kill all of our troops instantly.
The closer we are to the day that the barrier will abandon us, the more fear of the unknown I can feel. ‘
When he arrived at the House of Lords, Emperor Queralt met with the Minister of the Navy Walmsley Chuck, who had a cigar in his mouth.
“Emperor Queralt, I am glad to see you. We were waiting for your arrival. We have many things to do.
We especially have to talk about his itinerary to visit all the coastal cities of the country using the marina.
We have to show your subjects that you care about them. With your travels we can also create propaganda so that there are more recruits for the navy.
Now that we dominate the navy of two nations, we have to take the opportunity to increase our forces. We cannot allow the war to reach our home.
Well, we don’t know what kind of atrocities we can suffer.
But now that we talk about it, Emperor knows what the rules that humanity will make over the elves are going to be. “
Emperor Queralt sighed and looked at his minister seriously “Elves may be dangerous but I consider that we are liberators not slavers like them.
Our nations took time to eliminate slavery and I don’t think paying the elves in the same coin is the right thing to do.
We have to show them that everything they did was wrong, that their way of life was wrong, and that their ideology is an aberration for any civilization.
We are not clean because slavery was normal during the 19th century, but we realized the stupidity of enslaving our human brothers.
But what they do is not just slavery but use humans as toys.
That is malicious because even we do not make animals suffer such torture, that is why I will support the position that we behave as a civilization up to the challenge.
That the elven prisoners are treated with respect but shown all the bad things they have done. That is why we have to motivate journalists to prepare for war.
They will have to be on the front line to record the atrocities of the enemy. Those atrocities should not be forgotten because the elves will have to carry them.
Throughout their existence, to prevent them from repeating the same atrocities.
I think that’s why the goddess gave us free will, otherwise it would only be a war of extermination. “
Minister Walmsley Chuck smoked from his cigar and looked earnestly at the Emperor.
Yes, the elves deserve the privilege of being captured, but I respect their opinion, emperor.
Either way, let’s not waste any more time. We have a lot to plan. “
After this, the emperor had a meeting with his ministers and a consensus was reached that the journey along the entire west coast of the empire would begin.
For this, he would be accompanied by a heavy battleship and three destroyers in each city that stopped for the tour.
The navy would set up recruiting posts to do so they would use destroyers to carry recruits to the training grounds of the human liberation army.
All this in order to have an increase in the number of sailors, since only 2,000,000 sailors are needed for the coastal defenses of the continent.
To have the defenses fully functional, that is, without considering the coastal defenses that need to be built.
The only good thing was that of the coastal defenses, at least 100,000 soldiers would have to be from the air force, since they had to operate antiaircraft machine guns in order to destroy the enemies.
That they could attack through the sky, not to mention that there had to be an airport with at least 30 biplanes every 50 kilometers.
To maintain a complete security line in the event of an elven counter invasion.
After the meeting, Emperor Queralt went to the port where he boarded the heavy battleship, although it was an old model that used coal.
The interior was specially prepared to be comfortable for the emperor. When entering his cabin he could see walls covered by silk.
A beautiful red carpet, a large comfortable bed with silk blankets, finally there was a mahogany desk.
Emperor Queralt sighed, as he never imagined that he would have such a luxurious room inside a military ship.
‘I suppose there are no excuses for not being able to make the visits to all the coastal cities of our great empire.
The only good thing is that all of our former colonies were fully assimilated but will not be integrated for almost another year.
But that we earn by being the largest colonial empire in the whole earth, I suppose it is a luxury that not many can have.
Sometimes he asked me if having my cousin’s authoritarian system would be more functional to assimilate everyone quickly and efficiently. ‘
