Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1837 1838 Failed to Fight

Shanlu closed the door of Löw's office in frustration. He traveled thousands of miles from South Island to meet with the Imperial Chief of Staff Löw, actually just to get a chance to join the war.

The status of orcs in the Tang Empire has never been high. Overall, they are only slightly better than goblins... and the entire empire has never been willing to accept orcs, nor does it allow orcs to migrate freely within the empire.

In order to improve this situation, Shahru, as a general with a relatively high status among the orcs, hopes to gain better racial treatment through war.

As cat-eared orc girls are becoming more popular in the Tang Empire, the status of orc women is actually improving significantly. Unfortunately, orc men have always been laborers in the empire, always half a head shorter than others.

This is not a long-term solution. This time, Shahru came to submit an application to the Chief of Staff of the Tang Empire, Lev, requesting the orcs to join the war and clear the last obstacle for the Tang Empire to unify the world.

  His request was also very simple: no matter how much ammunition and supplies the Tang Empire’s troops needed, the orc troops only needed half!

In his opinion, war is actually very simple: just pile up people. If one orc warrior is not enough, then send two, if two are not enough, then send three... If one hundred thousand are not enough, then send two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand!

Anyway, the Tang Empire doesn't have to pay compensation for the deaths. Orcs have always had deaths in the past, and death is actually not a big deal in the eyes of this race.

As long as Lev nodded, Shahru would assemble the most elite army formed by the orcs in the South Island, and then bring 100 million cannon fodder from the Western Continent to form a huge orc expeditionary force to destroy the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire at all costs.

He felt that he had a great advantage: no matter what, the cost of transporting personnel was the lowest, and the orc soldiers even only needed half or one-third of the supplies of ordinary soldiers of the Tang Empire to fight.

These orcs are willing to do anything to fight for a better life. They can use expired medicines, eat rotten potatoes and cabbage leaves, and go into battle with only a rifle without a bayonet...

It didn't matter if they died, at least not to Shahru: the dead soldiers could save food, and even things like helmets could be salvaged and used again.

The orc general's idea was a bit of a throwback: as long as the tactical thinking was adjusted back to fifty years ago and the soldiers were reminded of how they fought back then, the cost of the war could be reduced to a satisfactory level.

Unfortunately... Löw has no interest in this crazy plan, because His Majesty the Emperor wants to unify the entire world, and in this process he naturally needs to consider the emotions of civilians in the occupied areas.

If a group of bloodthirsty orc soldiers were allowed to rush into the city with axes, clubs and old-fashioned rifles, the question of who represented the Tang Empire would make the subsequent cost of governance extremely high.

  Are you kidding me... How can I explain to a group of frightened civilians that those soldiers who look like beggars, those soldiers who look more like monsters, and those soldiers who don't look like liberators at all, are actually the army of the Tang Empire?

Moreover, the high-ranking officials of the Tang Empire also have to consider other issues: a war can create countless heroes, and how to place these heroes needs to be carefully considered. If the credit is given to the orcs for no reason, then resources will have to be invested in the future to appease these orcs... Now there is only one South Island, what about in the future? How many more islands will be given?

"How is it?" Seeing his general coming out, the orc adjutant who followed him asked nervously.

Shalu shook his head, sighed and complained: "It seems that it is unlikely for us to appear on the stage. Unless there are some changes on the front line, the General Staff is unwilling to send us to the East Continent." A long time ago, Le'er's homeland was on the East Continent. It was a brave attempt by the orcs to immigrate and establish a country. Unfortunately, they failed later, and their land was divided up by the elves. In the end, the orc kingdom was destroyed by the attack of the elves and dwarves.

At that time, many orc slaves were sold to the south of the East Continent, and many orcs had been to Bunas and Neverwinter Port. However, most of these orcs did not have a good ending, and Le'er was only a minority after all.

"It seems that the top leaders of the empire are still unwilling to believe us..." The adjutant was also very upset. They really hoped to change the fate of their race through sacrifice, but sometimes fate does not give you the opportunity to change it.

"Be content. At least His Majesty the Emperor is willing to take care of us loyal subjects." Shahru glanced at his adjutant, reminding him not to be extreme in his thinking.

Compared with the high-level officials of other countries, the high-level officials of the Tang Empire were actually very tolerant and trustworthy: Tang Mo promised to give the orcs a habitat, and he really gave them one. And it was a large island with mountains and rivers, which was many times better than the desert where the orcs lived in the past.

This is already a blessing, because if it is purely a matter of strength, the Tang Empire can easily wipe out the orcs, compress the orcs in the desert to the brink of extinction, and then keep the orcs in captivity on the edge of the desert like animals, so that this tribe will never be able to reproduce and grow.

But the Tang Empire did not do so. Instead, it gave the orcs a piece of land, a better piece of land. From this point of view alone, it is not excessive for the orcs to be loyal to Tang Mo.

"Yes! General! I just feel a pity that we missed an opportunity to prove our loyalty." The adjutant was also an insightful person and immediately lowered his head to explain.

In the East Continent, in the Dwarf Region, a Dwarf officer looked at himself in the mirror and was somewhat unrecognizable: he was wearing the military uniform of the Tang Empire, and that was a lieutenant colonel uniform.

In the past, he was a general in the Ice Empire, but after surrendering, he became a commoner. Later, an acquaintance found him and recommended him, a dwarf officer who had studied in the Tang Empire, to Tiger.

Now he is a major and the deputy commander of a newly formed dwarf force: the real one is also a dwarf, but he is a senior Tang officer assigned here.

The newly formed force is responsible for maintaining regional public order, guarding prisoners undergoing labor reform, and assisting the civil affairs department to provide help to local people to the best of its ability.

This is the tradition of the Tang Empire Army and also the characteristic of this army. This army has been like this since its establishment, so this army has always been deeply loved by the people.
