How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 320 : Letter
"Think about it, for an organization maintaining such a massive army, how could they possibly be unable to mobilize grain that would shake the Holy Capital's economic order?"
"I won't ntion anything else, just their army... think about it, Northern Fire headquarters supports at least fifty thousand combat personnel. Just feeding these people for ten months would consu at least thirty thousand tons of grain."
"Thirty thousand tons... that converts to a full sixty million pounds."
"Moreover, does the army only need to feed combat personnel?"
"If you've fought in wars, you'd know—once large-scale military operations begin, behind every soldier there must be several logistics personnel."
"These logistics personnel need to eat just like soldiers, and neither Northern Fire nor the Holy Court could let them solve their own food problems."
"Calculating this way, if they want to wage war, they'd need to prepare at least fifty thousand tons, or even more grain."
After this woman's logical analysis, almost everyone present nodded in agreent.
"It does seem to be the case..."
"Makes sense..."
"We might have indeed underestimated Northern Fire and the Holy Court..."
However, before long, opposing voices erged.
"Then according to what you're saying, couldn't the Holy Court have controlled the Holy Capital's grain prices before?"
"Right! Just take out the army's stored grain and be done with it."
"A bunch of idiots..."
The woman smiled contemptuously:
"Do you think that's possible?"
"The army's stored grain is taken out, the Holy Capital's grain prices are suppressed, then what?"
"Under our Holy Kingdom's chaotic order, what is fundantal?"
"You haven't been reading too much 'Spark News' and actually think you're the force deciding the nation's fate, have you?"
"In troubled tis, how could the force deciding governnt and national fate possibly be ignorant, powerless citizens?"
"For rulers, citizens are like flocks of sheep—even if they starve to death it doesn't matter, but the army is different..."
"I ask you—if the army's grain goes to subsidize people's livelihood, what happens next?"
"If Northern Fire and the Holy Court want to fight, or if they're attacked by the other side, how does a starving army fight?"
"Furthermore... do you know what soldiers without food beco?"
As the woman spoke, she began recounting her past.
"Back then I worked for the Holy Court's army in the north, trying to earn a living..."
"However, with Northern Fire's rise, almost all northern rural areas were controlled by them..."
"Then... the situation in the city where I was stationed beca worse and worse... eventually even the army began starving..."
"In the very end, Northern Fire's army didn't even need to act—we collapsed on our own..."
Speaking of this, the woman beca sowhat self-destructive:
"Yes! I admit! Selling my life to the Holy Court for a al shows I have no integrity!"
"Northern Fire is indeed the Holy Kingdom people's own organization, and they do value people's livelihood."
"But no matter how good Northern Fire is, they ultimately still need to fight wars and survive."
"Using the army's stored grain to subsidize people's livelihood is absolutely sothing they cannot do..."
Listening to the woman's analysis, Ileina nodded appreciatively.
"This woman's analysis is quite comprehensive."
Turning to Elashia, Ileina smiled:
"I considered this problem before too, and indeed only thought of using the army's stored grain to suppress the Holy Capital's grain prices."
"But..."
Ileina and Elashia exchanged smiles.
"Who knew I'd have your support?"
...
After a while, following the woman's analysis, everyone in the tavern fell silent.
But Ileina noticed sothing strange—it had been half an hour, so why hadn't the bug rice she ordered been served yet?
Looking sowhat strangely at the waitress approaching her, just as Ileina was about to say sothing, she heard the waitress smile and say sothing odd to her.
"Aren't you going to refute what that woman said?"
"Huh?" x2
Both Elashia and Ileina were stunned.
"Anyway... I dislike that type of person—not only do they speak unpleasantly, but they also analyze everything so thodically..."
"I think... only you... and the lady beside you have the ability to refute her, right?"
Being smiled at by the waitress, Elashia and Ileina imdiately realized—they'd been recognized!
"You two, no need to panic so much."
Seeing the two with dilated pupils, the waitress covered her mouth and laughed.
"Anyway, I'm very annoyed with that woman right now."
"If you're willing to help thoroughly refute her..."
Smiling mischievously at Ileina, the waitress said:
"I can give you a letter..."
"A... very important letter."
After saying this, the waitress smiled and bowed to them again, then turned and walked back into the kitchen.
"This..."
Elashia and Ileina exchanged glances.
As warriors who had experienced countless battles, they could clearly see—this girl seed to have no hostility...
Ileina quickly put on a serious expression.
"Elashia... she probably recognized us."
Elashia also nodded seriously.
"Mm... what do you plan to do?"
"I..."
Ileina thought for a mont.
"Let's do as she says."
In that instant, Ileina understood sothing very important—this waitress definitely had no malicious intent.
This waitress must know—if Ileina truly wanted what she had, one command could bring a group of heavily ard soldiers to surround the tavern.
So... this waitress definitely genuinely wanted to give her what she had...
"Alright."
After hearing Ileina's words, Elashia didn't object.
She could also clearly sense—that waitress definitely wanted to give Ileina what she had.
So she wasn't very tense either.
After confirming her safety, Elashia first asked Ileina:
"Ileina, when do you think we were discovered?"
"This..."
Recalling what had just happened, Ileina said:
"Probably when I ordered from the nu earlier."
"After all... potato beef stew can't be found anymore..."
"No."
Elashia shook her head.
"I feel it's wrong."
"I think we should have been discovered right when we ca in."
"After all, she asked you right away—'you look so familiar.'"
"This... might not be speculation, since we clearly disguised ourselves..."
"Indeed..."
Ileina nodded.
"Really don't know how she saw through us despite our disguises."
After sighing deeply, Ileina looked at the eloquent woman from earlier.
"Sigh... this isn't important anymore."
"Next we should think carefully about how to complete her task."
