Chapter 1528 Slow Progress
Everyone knows that war can be started at any time, but it cannot be ended at any time.

Everyone knows that a long war is extremely detrimental to the economy, but if you want to end the war quickly, it is not as simple as issuing a ceasefire order.

Up to now, both countries have suffered huge losses. The loss of wealth is secondary. The large number of casualties has not yet been fully counted and the accurate number is increasing rapidly every day.

The Red Maple Republic still has the strength to fight, just like the previous Whirlpool Federation. Even if it is pushed to the capital, it is still possible to push back.

Now the situation has simply reversed, and it is now the Red Maple Republic that needs to fight the battle to defend the capital.

It was precisely because of the arrival of these orders that the Swan was able to enter the port safely and rest, and everyone knew that the really troublesome battle would soon come.

Li Chengxi was not sure if the only nuclear bomb left in GP02 was enough, and he suggested whether to keep a few more as insurance, but Alyssa strongly opposed it, and it felt like he was about to crash into the bridge and die...

It is for this reason that Li Chengxi wanted to make a more powerful machine, but he couldn't get it in.

But in the final analysis, no matter how good Li Chengxi is at fighting, his impact on the entire strategy is minimal. Now the fight is no longer about who has better soldiers or stronger equipment.

Rather, it is a head-on competition between the two countries' industrial capabilities.

Originally, there was controversy within the Star Cluster Alliance as to who was the boss between the Red Maple Republic and the Whirlwater Federation. But after this battle, there would be no more controversy, and the winner would be the boss.

Having said that, although the war is approaching, at least it cannot start now. The Swan is still under repair and cannot leave the port for the time being.

Li Chengxi then turned around and looked towards Viola.

Compared to the rapid advances of the Xuanshui Federation, whose territory was conquered by galaxies, Viola's actions in the past three months were extremely slow.

After successfully knocking on the northern gate of the Subia Demon Kingdom, Viola should have led her army straight in, but Viola slowed down the army's advance.

In fact, it’s not a complete slowdown, it’s just that the strategy is different from before.

Before, when she was in the Demon Kingdom of Tandron, Viola only attacked large cities. After taking over the cities, she ignored the surrounding villages and towns and waited for the follow-up troops to take care of them.

This time, after Viola took over a city, she immediately began to radiate to the surrounding areas, firmly grasping the villages and towns in her hands.

Such a major change in decision-making occurs because the situation is different from that in the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon.

Viola needed to hurry before. If the Demon Kingdom of Tandron was destroyed or surrendered before she achieved her strategic goal, Viola and her army would not be able to continue advancing. After all, their righteous cause was gone. If they continued to fight, they would be seen as a bandit army that was purely out to make money, and their reputation would be bad.

Therefore, after taking over the key cities, the suppression of surrounding targets such as villages and towns was handed over to the troops that arrived from the country later, while Viola led the main force to advance rapidly.

In the Demon King's country of Subia, Viola came under the pretext of clearing up trouble for her allies and purging the emperor.

If you attack too quickly and go straight to the capital, the nobles in the capital will directly kidnap the usurper prince and send him over, supporting Princess Olavia as the Demon King, and you will also lose your righteousness.

In other words, the only reason for sending troops is different.

In addition, compared to the Tandron Demon Kingdom, which was besieged by three kingdoms, the Subia Demon Kingdom was in a better situation and had stronger national strength.

Its south was attacked by Guatni, and its north was invaded by Avarus. It seemed to be attacked from both sides, but in fact it was impossible to play a classic replica of the Tandron Demon Kingdom. After all, Guatni's national strength was the weakest among the seven demon kingdoms. At most, it could only bite off a piece of meat from the Subia Demon Kingdom, and whether it could hold it was another matter.

Although Viola wanted revenge, the reality was that she did not have enough troops to carry out the operation of destroying a country.

After all, although Avarus is strong, it has just recovered from the crisis of national extinction, and the country is still in ruins. Viola has taken away a large number of young and strong laborers with her troops. If she continues to recruit soldiers, it will shake the foundation of the country.

In fact, after Viola entered the Subia Demon Kingdom, the civil servants in the country had sent countless memorials, hoping that Viola could lead the troops back. If the war dragged on, the domestic economy would not be ideal.

But it is definitely not possible to go back now. If we give the Subia Demon Kingdom a chance to catch its breath, there is no guarantee that there will be no disaster in the future.

So Viola withstood the pressure, did not rush for success, and moved forward steadily step by step.

On the one hand, it can avoid the disadvantage of insufficient military force, and on the other hand, it can bring huge pressure to the Subia Demon Kingdom.

After all, they are the ones who have lost their territory, and there is considerable pressure from public opinion within the Subia Demon Kingdom. Viola is using her power to put pressure on others, so it all depends on when the Subia Demon Kingdom will gather its army.

This kind of pressure is also a means of dividing troops, which can reduce the pressure of the advance of the Guatni Demon Kingdom in the south. After all, you can't just focus on one side when you are being attacked from both ends.

Although Guatni is weak, its navy is still good. The navy of Avarus has been dispatched frequently during this period. Taking advantage of the cooperation between the navy of the Subia Demon Kingdom and Guatni, it blockaded the coastline of the Subia Demon Kingdom and often carried out operations to disrupt trade. Some remote port cities even raised white flags. They were planning to surrender before Viola even advanced there.

Li Chengxi would not raise any objections to Viola's strategy. She could fight the way she wanted. After all, Li Chengxi really didn't understand this matter.

However, even if she advances steadily, according to the current progress, Viola will be able to complete her battle plan within this year. As for whether or not to attack the capital and accomplish her so-called purge of the court, that depends on the situation.

Avarus can still hold on if the war ends within this year, and the war reparations from the Enwei Demon Kingdom have also arrived in succession during this period, so Avarus still has some foundation.

When the war is over, it will be time to start production.

A large amount of new land has been added, which requires people to develop and manage it.

It is easy to get people to do this. As long as Viola announces a policy of tax exemption for newly reclaimed land for a few years, a large number of landless people will go there to reclaim land. However, it will be more troublesome to manage them.

Originally, the social structure of Avarus was severely rigidified, and the people had almost no channels for upward mobility, but the country's governance was actually quite good, and the common people were not unable to afford to live.

If this situation continues, even if someone rebels, it will be a long time before it happens.

Avarus had experienced a war that nearly destroyed the country, and the upper-level civil servants and hereditary nobles were almost all swept away in one wave, leaving a large number of vacancies.

However, the local feudal nobility was still relatively intact, so when Viola became regent, a large number of positions in the palace were being watched every day, and there were so many letters of recommendation that she could hardly read them all.

When the local regions are strong, the country will be in chaos; when the central government is strong, there will be peace all over the country.

After all, Avarus is a feudal system, and if the local areas become too strong, there will be great risks in the future.
