Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

"But... what if the kingdom's ministers question us?" the adjutant said with some concern.

"To question them?"

"Let them have the guts to come find me now," General Gebuchi said disdainfully.

Then, he said in a deep voice, "I don't care about the war in the royal city."

I am in charge of the war in the Kingdom of Aalborg. If anything goes wrong here, I will take full responsibility.

Relay my orders.

On all fronts, accelerate the pace of advance.

We will proceed at full speed, regardless of the cost.

That force could be the first to capture a city in the Kingdom of Aalborg.

I have a generous reward for you!

"yes!"

Under the relentless attacks of the Gebuchi Kingdom's army day and night.

The Kingdom of Aalborg's defenses were gradually pushed back.

Soon, the first border fortress was breached, and the first military town was captured.

Even to the point of.

The first city was captured.

Although each of these steps came at a considerable cost to the army of the Kingdom of Gebuchi.

However, the Kingdom of Aalborg, being a small country, had limited defensive depth.

Between the border and the capital city of Aalborg, there are only a few cities.

By taking down these cities, we can close the distance to the capital city of Aalborg.

But when they stepped into the first city they had captured...

The officers were stunned.

They found no civilians in the city.

The ground was littered with the corpses of soldiers from the Kingdom of Gebuchi and the Kingdom of Aalburg.

All of this illustrates one point.

This city, which should have had a population of 500,000, before the war began.

The Kingdom of Aalborg evacuated the local civilians and transformed the city into a war fortress.

And here, they lost nearly 100,000 lives!

And this is just a small city with a population of only 500,000.

These data were a thorn in the side for those commanders.

If every city that follows is in the same situation.

What price will they have to pay when they reach the capital of the Kingdom of Aalborg?

They couldn't imagine it.

Some people couldn't help but report the situation to the Supreme General.

However, they were sternly warned against spreading such ideas.

The entire army had only one thought: to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Aalborg.

The propaganda department specifically described the wonderful things that came after the victory in the war to the soldiers at the grassroots level.

For example, the capital city of Aalborg is extremely valuable, with land being incredibly scarce and expensive.

Once they entered the Kingdom of Aalborg, their superiors gave them permission to plunder the city for another three days without restraint.

At that time, they can easily rob a little money.

That's enough for their whole family to live on for a lifetime.

If I rob a little more, I'll be a small landlord when I get back.

For those rank-and-file soldiers, they don't understand what those numbers mean.

They faced only the cruelty of the battlefield and the empty promises their superiors made to them.

Of course, a big pancake alone is not enough.

The general also issued an order.

That means that for every distance the troops fighting on the front lines advance, they are given a certain amount of real money.

These items were distributed on-site when a position, a military town, or a city was captured.

This has led to a phenomenon.

The vehicles, which were originally loaded with weapons, ammunition, and various supplies, were now filled with the currency of their Gebuchi Kingdom.

Copper coins, silver coins, gold coins.

At this point, paper money is no longer sufficient to arouse people's primal desires.

Only a currency with intrinsic value can keep this war machine moving forward amidst the bloodshed.

This is also effective.

When those soldiers had a month's worth of pay in their pockets, their hearts were burning with warmth.

Keep in mind that in just one day, they received a month's worth of military pay.

This doesn't even include the units that made great contributions.

If they fight for another ten days, they will receive ten days' worth of military pay.

They could even receive more if they could achieve great merit.

While those soldiers held those silver coins, harboring beautiful dreams.

The trucks, which had just unloaded the boxes of rewards, headed to hospitals in various locations.

The cargo crates, which were originally filled with wealth, are now filled with wounded soldiers with broken legs and feet.

Inside the car.

Blood, wails, death, despair.

Outside the car, there is a beautiful world temporarily enveloped by wealth.

This is a devil's scale.

The situation is temporarily balanced.

If we can reach the finish line like this, then everything will go smoothly.

But if the scales tip before reaching the finish line, the army will fall straight into hell.

The Royal Conference Room in the Royal City of Aalborg is now also the command center of the Kingdom of Aalborg.

"One of our cities has fallen," the subordinate reported to the Third Prince.

The third prince looked at the city marked with a blood-red cross on the map.

How many of our lives were lost?

Twenty thousand people.

"Where is the enemy?"

"Over 100,000 people."

"Trading 20,000 people for 100,000 is not a loss."

Continue fighting in this manner, and order the cities behind to be held at all costs.

They can only withdraw if they hold out for a certain period of time and meet the conditions.

"Anyone who dares to retreat prematurely will be executed by the entire command!" the Third Prince said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

"How are the civilians who were evacuated doing now?" The Third Prince looked at the minister in charge of people's livelihood next to him.

This great battle was not just a military matter.

There are also issues concerning people's livelihoods.

Several cities on the front lines evacuated all civilians before the start of the war.

"So far, things are going relatively smoothly."

Although there are some unstable emotions, they are not a major problem at present thanks to our reassurance and control.

People who were evacuated.

For those who have relatives to rely on, we paid their travel expenses and registered their names. After the war ends, we will cover their costs of rebuilding their homes and returning home.

There are no relatives to rely on.

They are housed in the gathering places we have set up.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of the Wraiths provided the tents and emergency food.

At present, there shouldn't be any major problems within a month.

However, if it takes too long.

"Then it's really not certain," the Minister of People's Livelihood said with a heavy expression.

"Um.

We should take good care of these people and meet their needs in life as much as possible.

By the way, doesn't the Kingdom of the Wraiths also provide entertainment devices like televisions?

Arrange for each gathering place.

Organize more activities.

In addition, some projects can be arranged locally, and temporary workers can be recruited from these residents to work, with the remuneration paid three times the normal rate.

In this way...

They have things to do, and there's a cheerful atmosphere, so they won't feel anxious or restless.

"Your Highness, why is this arrangement made?"

"Our money..." The Chancellor of the Exchequer standing nearby looked worried.

For this war, and for the migration of those people.

They have already allocated a lot of money.

If we continue to spend recklessly on this, then there will really be problems.

"If the Ministry of Finance doesn't have enough money, then our royal family will provide it."

From today onwards, there is not enough money.

Provided by the Royal Treasury.

There is no upper limit!

Royal Treasury!

Everyone looked surprised upon hearing this word.

The royal treasury is the property of the royal family and is generally not used until the very last moment.

The Third Prince said with a sharp gaze, "But at this time, we must also be wary of certain people."

In the past, some people were dishonest.

I like to skim off a little profit.

In the past, I didn't care as long as they didn't cross the line.

But now, the nation faces a life-or-death crisis.

If anyone dares to make a move on this money now, don't blame me for turning my back on them.

I set up a special oversight department to investigate any cases where money has been found to have been pocketed by someone.

He is guilty of a capital offense!

"yes!"

The ministers all bowed their heads.

They didn't know the fool either; they were well aware of why the Third Prince had warned them in front of everyone.

This is not a joke.

This is the Third Prince sounding a warning bell for them.

Especially at this critical juncture, we must not engage in any shady or underhanded behavior.

Once those things are discovered, the losses will be small.

But if the general public finds out, it will cause a huge public outcry and could even lead to serious problems.

So the Third Prince placed the high-voltage line here; anyone who doesn't understand this is courting death.

"How is the front line on Baljik's side?" the Third Prince asked the military minister beside him.

"The plan on Baljik's side is that the raiding force is about to arrive at the No. 5 Pass fortress."

There, an enemy force of 150,000 was gathered on the outskirts.

Furthermore, even more troops from the Kingdom of Gebuchi are gathering at this location.

The next step is the most crucial part of this plan.

Will the first batch of mechanized armored troops be able to cross the No. 5 Pass fortress and pose a military threat to the royal city of the Kingdom of Gebuchi?

If this step fails.

That would cause major problems for the entire raid plan.

If this step succeeds.

The high command of the Kingdom of Nagbuchi is bound to be thrown into chaos!

The Third Prince took a deep breath: "Now, we can only hope that the army will make it through smoothly."

...

The location of the main gate on one side of the No. 5 Pass Fortress.

The artillery fire continued.

"Damn it, all the passages into the city from the outside have been blocked by the enemy."

Our first batch of armored troops is about to arrive here.

"They won't be able to break in at all!" Through the observation point, the officer looked at the dark mass of soldiers outside.

"The higher-ups have already arranged follow-up plans."

But let's also prepare for the worst.

"If the plan from above fails, then our paratroopers will need to go out and clear a path for the armored forces!" the commander beside him said.

"What?

Let us go out.

We're all infantry, and those guys outside have tanks and other heavy weapons. Let's charge out..."

"Alright, this is our task."

"This is what we should do," the commander said in an unquestionable tone.
