Looking at it from another angle, this can also be considered a different kind of warning.

"No, no, you are working hard for the country. How could we possibly blame you for this?"

Everyone exchanged a few polite words, saying that as long as they had no ill will towards them, as long as they had no ill will, they were all family!

“Sir, we have been prepared for war since we received the order from Grand Duke Veronica to prepare for war.

But we still don't know what to do next. Do you have any secret instructions from the Grand Duke?"

The person who asked this question was also the intelligence chief. With the war imminent, he had the heaviest burden, so he was also the most anxious one.

Like the stable manager, he has the easiest job. He only needs to take care of the war horses under his responsibility.

The logistics director and the financial director have been frantically calculating the amount of money and food needed for this war these days.

The two of them came to meet with Krober, even holding the account book in their hands.

The logistics director followed closely and reported to Krober:

"Prime Minister, the Grand Duke took away some of the supplies before he set out. Now that war is about to break out again, the stored food is simply not enough!"

The financial director nodded in agreement and said worriedly, "Yes, this war came too suddenly. We had no prior preparations. It's really difficult to gather supplies now!"

The two looked at each other and sighed.

Others also spoke up and expressed their difficulties.

Anyway, thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence -

"The odds are stacked against you!"
