As a world-class maritime power, the Elf Kingdom is scattered with many colonies in every corner of the Torrell World.

The spice archipelago located in the Far Eastern equator is one of the most prosperous territories. The entire magnificent era of navigation was largely aimed at pursuing all kinds of spices here, thereby obtaining hundreds of times huge profits.

Generations of pioneers of navigators have been burying themselves in the blue sea for this purpose. They risked their lives to ride a simple boat and sail eastward towards the unknown and strange seas. Along the way, they not only had to fight against the dangerous nature, but also threatened and tempted against the barbaric indigenous people who were hundreds of times more than themselves. In the end, they had to fight to the death with their peers from the Feren continent, which was often the bloodiest and cruelest.

In order to seize this extremely rich tropical island from the first Am Republic, which opened a new route, the elf navy had flowed a lot of blood. After that, the uprisings and suppression against the indigenous people in the area were round after round. So far, the blood was not dry and the smoke had not dissipated.

However, at the end of this era of navigation, the attractive profits that the spice trade once had had had had had had had long become yesterday's yellow flowers. With the advancement of cultivation technology, many countries in the world have their own spice crop plantations. As for the spice war between the great powers, the peak period was more expensive than gold of the same weight," this is a wonderful memory almost four centuries ago.

The once brilliant and brilliant trade in the elves has long been far away from the elves colonies of the Spice Islands.

However, this rich archipelago is still a hen that lays golden eggs. After more than 100 years of stable colonial rule by the elves, a total of 500,000 elves and diasporas, as well as about 10 million indigenous people and two million immigrants of the Xianglong Empire. There are countless large and small mines, plantations, ports, fisheries and factories, while the elves Far East colonial authorities monopolize all commercial trade in the entire spice archipelago to make huge profits.

But what made the financial department of the Elf Kingdom feel extremely painful is that monopoly operations do not seem to bring monopoly profits forever. Despite being granted countless privileges that are difficult to calculate, the taxes paid by the Far East Spice Islands colonial government to the capital are still slowly and firmly decreasing year by year.

Especially in recent decades, the Far East Spice Islands colonial government has only been able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure or even a slight loss in the financial statements submitted to Duluhipa. For several consecutive years, it has required the central government to in turn provide financial subsidies to the colonies.

This naturally made the elf central government of Yongju Island very troubled.

The reason why the elves conquered these overseas colonies that were so far away that it was difficult to effectively control was not essentially to show off their vast territory on maps, but to gain real interests and get rich.

At present, the hen, which could have laid golden eggs, has fallen into a financial burden that needs to be paid. Not only can it receive any tribute paid, but it will waste a lot of military resources for defense. As a result, it is regarded as a burden by all the loyal and patriotic bosses. At first, it was barely given a few years of financial subsidies. Later, seeing that the colonial taxes in the Spice Islands have not improved, they simply let it fend for themselves.

After Queen Akman took a military coup to restore the royal power, the entire Elf Kingdom was already in turmoil. From military to finance, it was on the verge of collapse. Her Majesty had to ignore the embarrassing financial situation of the Spice Islands and forcibly levied a large amount of military expenditure, and then took away almost all the regular troops stationed there. As a result, they were all ruined in the bloody battlefield of the Mazka continent.

Seeing that the country had fallen to the point of ending, even the source of troops available for conquest was almost exhausted. While the local alien rebellion was still intensifying, Queen Akmarna had no choice but to set her mind on the 500,000 elves in the Spice Islands.

After these precious human resources are recalled, as long as the material supply can keep up, they can provide the kingdom with at least 80,000 reliable elves citizens and soldiers, and by the way they can fill the labor gap in the major arsenals and farms of Yongju Island. If they continue to be idle in the Far East Spice Islands, at most they can only pay a very pitiful tax to the central government, and they may not even be able to pay a little money.

As for whether the elves and expatriates there are willing to return to China, Her Majesty Queen Akdina also has her own set of reasoning patterns first. The huge military expenditure that was forcibly allocated the last time can still be collected so quickly in the face of the serious fiscal deficit of the Spice Group Ukraine, which proves that even in a difficult situation, the local people are still very loyal to the royal family and the country, and are willing to make any sacrifices for the great cause of revitalizing the country;

Secondly, given that the economic situation in the Spice Islands has been deteriorating over the years, tax revenue has declined year by year, and even unable to be self-sufficient, the living conditions of the local elves and expatriates must be very embarrassing. Especially after being squeezed out such a large amount of military expenditure by the Queen. If it is not done well, it is so poor that they can't even afford to eat. It should be no pity to give up such a hard and difficult home;

Finally, when the central garrison was basically withdrawn, according to the frequent local indigenous rebellions in the archives of previous years, the security of the Spice Islands, and according to Her Majesty's reasoning, the "group of thieves" had probably deteriorated greatly. The 50 small elf expatriates who were punished and frozen were living a tragic life in poverty and desolate in the distant Spice Islands, and were always afraid of being siege by the endless indigenous bandits. It would be better to withdraw them and enjoy the protection of the central government and serve the country better. Although it is difficult on Yongju Island, at least there is no threat of foreign invasion. In addition, the minimum ration ratio can still be guaranteed."

In this way, launching the second elves retreat in the Far East Spice Island colony and shrinking valuable human resources to enrich Yongju Island is simply a wonderful idea to take care of the interests of all citizens and make everyone happy!

Her Majesty the Queen is very confident about the feasibility of this idea. Even the arguments to convince the Elves were conceived, "You can't be distracted from looking at the idle horses in the backyard when the bedroom is already on fire."

Unfortunately, all bad ideas have a common characteristic. They all look like good ideas before they are shown as bad ideas, and it is often too late to realize that it is a little bad idea."

What’s even more regrettable is that Lieutenant General Daniel is the executor of this bad idea.

Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??

In many cases, those public government reports are the most unreliable things in the world.

In fact, although the spice trade does not have the once huge profits of 100 times. Thanks to the abundant minerals, fisheries and forest resources, as well as the tropical monsoon climate that is ripe for three years, and the huge market of the Xianglong Empire in the north, the Far East Spice Islands are still a hen that can lay golden eggs, and almost all industries are so vigorous. As for spice cultivation, as a traditional advantageous industry, even when prices shrink significantly, they are still far from being unprofitable.

The military expenditure used to fight against the rebellion of local indigenous people is far from as large as the public report submitted to the central government. A colonial authorities can hire a large number of cheap Japanese roninians to replace the high-paid elves soldiers to perform tasks. In many cases, as long as these Eastern dwarfs are provided with enough rice balls, they are allowed to plunder the indigenous villages freely. Even without military pay, there are people willing to apply for the job. Maintaining territorial security is never a big problem.

Therefore, the elves who moved to this rich land can basically easily get rich, become rich people like mine directors, planters, merchant ship owners, etc., rely on the locals to work hard to enjoy their lives and live a very prosperous life.

The fiscal and tax revenue of the colonial government has always been an extremely astonishing astronomical figure. As time goes by and the reproduction of the population, the amount of money has only increased, but not decreased.

As for why the financial situation of the colonial government of the Far East Spice Islands is always so bad. This is naturally a mystery.

First, the Elf Kingdom has always regarded overseas colonies as a tax collection area for the country to provide money and materials, and is capable of sucking bones and marrow. The taxation policy is very heavy. If you do everything according to the rules, even the privileged Elf Expatriates may have to barely make a good fortune, which obviously cannot satisfy them.

Therefore, after the Elf Bridgers crossed the ocean and gained a foothold in the colony, they immediately began to bribe local officials in order to reduce the recording. Failed officials who were exiled to such remote places were usually happy to increase their extra money.

Of course, low-level protective umbrellas like this are far from enough to make the central government ignore the loss of huge taxes.

However, the elves of the Spice Islands quickly realized this. They began to launch a public relations offensive against the then-powered Chevrolet Church, with millions of gold coins every year. From the Spice Islands, secretly flowing into the independent account of the Chevrolet Church and several central government brain vaults…” From this time, the financial situation of the Spice Islands deteriorated and could no longer be avoided.

With the acquiescence of the upper class, the colonial authorities of the Spice Islands became increasingly unscrupulous. In the public financial statements, the trade transactions organized by the relevant authorities are always so unfortunate every year. They repeatedly miss various business opportunities and are forced to sell a lot of hoarded materials at a low price. On the books, there is always a huge loss and another huge loss.

The barbarian indigenous people of the spice group are always so fierce and aggressive. Every year, there are countless elves and expatriates' plantations, factories and warehouses that are robbed and burned."

To this end, the colonial government had to exempt all taxes from these poor citizens, and also provided a certain amount of condolences, and hired a large number of soldiers to strengthen their defense for a long time, causing huge financial burdens.

In such extreme circumstances, it is not easy for the "clean" officials of the Far Eastern Spice Islands Colonial Government to maintain a balance of income and expenditure or a minor loss in the fiscal situation.

But in fact, after experiencing the repeated high-intensity massacre-style clearance guided by the Japanese Rangers under the "Three Lights Policy", the indigenous tribes of the Spice Islands have long been dead and fled, and the rest have been worn by shackles in plantations or mines as slave workers. The slave hunting teams that have entered the mountains for searching in the recent times have all returned in shame, not because they encountered Fushan because they really couldn't find living people to be arrested!"

Therefore, the so-called large-scale invasion of the indigenous people is simply a fictional myth used for tax exemption.

A considerable part of these huge taxes that were concealed flowed into the hands of "clean officials" in the colonies, and the local garrisons also had a sense of filial piety from soldiers to commanders. The other part was donated to the big bosses of the Chevrolet Church who were covering the central government, which was conducive to their better rest in their spare time, better efficiency during working hours, and greater contributions to the country.

But the most important part is still left in the pockets of local elves and expatriates to better manage industries and build homes.

After more than a century of investment and construction, several elves colonial cities in the Spice Islands have been quite prosperous. Although the taxes paid to the central government have always been extremely meager, private donations to several government brains have always been rising year by year and set new highs.

Unfortunately, Queen Akdina, who has lost power for a long time, seems not clear about the secrets. And those guys who are qualified to understand the secrets are basically killed by her in the military coup.

In the absence of effective communication, the huge military expenses that Her Majesty had allocated last time were actually a new name for Her Majesty to ask for personal benefits by the Spice Islands. Although the amount was a little bit larger, the emperor and the ministers had to change the old rules. Instead of delaying the situation, it would be better to raise money to deal with the matter quickly.

What's more, Her Majesty also transferred the central garrison of the Spice Islands. If these old men who need to be offered sacrifices every year, the colonial authorities will reduce a large amount of gray expenditures. It is reasonable for the central leaders to increase the amount of "filial piety".

So, the elves of the Spice Islands readily gathered up the huge sum of money and sent it to the palace without any discount. They also included some precious specialties of the Spice Islands. In the eyes of Her Majesty Queen Akmarna, who did not know the truth, this became the best performance of the local elves of the elves of the country who still did not forget their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in times of difficulty.

Poor information communication often leads to the birth of tragedies.

For example, this time, Lieutenant General Daniel took a boat for several months and had just landed in Coconut City, the mansion of the Spice Islands, and slightly revealed a few words to the reception officials. The faces of the colonial officials were no longer ordinary and ugly. When he entered the Governor's Mansion of Coconut City with his full guard of ceremonial seals, he showed off His Majesty's edict and announced that he would launch the second elf retreat in the Spice Islands, and even scared the civil and military officials in the hall on the spot.

Then, in the following days, Daniel was inexplicably placed under house arrest in the hotel. Although the accommodation room was very spacious and luxurious, there were tropical fruits and seafood meals delivered every day. When night fell, there would be a beautiful indigenous girl with brown skin coming. She also helped him leave the official document seal he carried with him. The poor Lieutenant General protested many times. No one paid attention to it.

At the same time, the hotel was already in trouble. The spice island colonies were rich and noble, as if they were flooded into their nests by floods. They rushed from surrounding towns to the coconut city and gathered in the Governor's Office to discuss relevant countermeasures. The rumors spreading between the market were even more terrifying, just like the end of the world was coming soon, and there were curses at Her Majesty the Queen everywhere.

Also due to poor information communication, the small colonial areas made too serious predictions in the face of the current situation, thinking that Her Majesty the Queen wanted to kill the chicken and get the eggs, and pursue the old accounts. As a result, she was scared and became more and more terrified." The countermeasures discussed became more and more exaggerated.

The warship carrying Lieutenant General Daniel came to pass the order was even more unlucky. All the officers and soldiers of the ship were suddenly arrested and imprisoned. They interrogated the domestic situation day and night, and several guys were almost mentally broken. After the terrible illegal interrogation, they were randomly found several prison cells and stuffed them in. Not only did the enthusiastic indigenous girls come to visit with kind condolences, but there were a few particularly unlucky purebred elf sailors. Because they were too feminine and handsome, they were stabbed by a large number of lonely prisoners in the prison in turn.

At this time, Lieutenant General Daniel, who was still confused, lived in a luxurious suite in the hotel. Not only did he enjoy many feasts with local characteristics, he also slept at at least twenty passionate and unrestrained indigenous loli, girls and mature women, and even tasted the unique taste of sisters and mother-daughter flowers. "In fact, once he sent a beautiful indigenous boy, but he refused.

Just when Lieutenant General Daniel was so idle that he wanted to write a monograph that discussed the unique style of the indigenous women in the Spice Islands on the issue of ** and summarized a practical theory with rich practical experience, a senior colonial official finally came and released the Lieutenant General from the hotel, claiming that it was the Governor's invitation, and he needed to inform the General Inspector of the Overseas Territories of the Elf Kingdom of Elf Kingdoms to report an important matter.

Then, in the hall of the Governor's Mansion where the sages gather, Lieutenant General Daniel got a bolt from the blue.
