Chapter 34 34 Difficult enemiesLike the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, Magic Empire's Shadows are always lingering on Chris's head.
The conflict with the Arrant Empire, as long as he wins, will alert the Magic Empire, Chris really doesn't want to conflict with the Magic Empire, at least he doesn't want to be exposed in front of the Magic Empire until he reserves enough power own strength.
If possible, he really wanted to get some long-range bomber first, get the atomic bomb, and then go to the Magic Empire's troubles - but it wasn't an achievable strategy.
All industries need to accumulate and fortify before they can finally rise. Similar to Chris's previous evil way of relying on handicrafts to manufacture cannons, it is actually impossible to develop for a long time.
It is also fortunate that he met Dez and Gullo, which allowed him to correct his development model and have an industrial system that can barely support the economy.
And this industrial development system, which has already been on the right track, has just budded, and it has burst out with amazing power. Various industrial products have been manufactured and filled people's lives. In just one year, the civilian life of Alanhill has undergone changes in Heaven and Earth turning upside down.
With soap and bathing, personal hygiene improved dramatically, disease rates began to decline, and the population exploded. More babies have survived this year than in the past three years.
Likewise, a lot of cheap cloth has turned into a lot of cheap clothes: clothes in this world have never been cheaper than they are today. Clothing factories set up in various places even directly make fabrics into finished clothes with numbers and sell them directly to ordinary people.
This kind of clothes that are all the same style is very popular because it is really cheap and time saving. Just go back and change it up a bit, and you can wear it well.
In addition, everyone wears the same clothes, which weakens the so-called distinction between noble and lowly. People with similar incomes wear similar clothes - just like in the 1960s and 1970s, gray and other black, almost all cities in Alanhill are printed.
Management matters also began to become detailed and rough. All cities and villages in Alanhill must fly the king's flag of Alanhill, and the flag of black and white eagle should be hung on the city wall and the flagpole of the fortress. Fluttering in the wind.
With the rapid establishment of factories, villages and towns soon turned into cities, and countless idle agricultural populations poured into Dez's factories and began to engage in simple production work.
No one ever thought that such a scene would appear in one's lifetime: countless children, women even have jobs, and every family is frantically accumulating its own wealth. But their wealth, because of the need to improve their lives, once again rushed back to Alanhill's treasury like a thunderbolt.
Improving living conditions requires cement to build new solid houses, and new houses require metal and ceramic utensils. In order to hold these utensils, brand new furniture is needed, and then the family sits at home and thinks about the education of their children.
Just like the new China in a certain period, the wealthy people began to think about more and more things. There is no era in which people are stupid, they are only restricted by reality and cannot see further.
Once they see hope, they will keep chasing the light, even if it is a blazing flame, they will rush to it without hesitation, just for the future of that illusory.
The good news for the common people of Alanhill is that the future Chris gave them is a proven, powerful and correct future.
After Chris captured the vast sea, he only stayed for a few days and set off back to Serris City. This is his root, after all, and the industrial core of all the regions around him. Because it's the most industrialized, the people's support is the highest, and Chris's dominance is the strongest.
Having swept across five territories along the way, Chris actually faces quite a few problems. He lacks officials to manage these territories, and he can't promote Serris City officials by cronyism - he can only use some local bureaucrats and let them temporarily manage them for later effects.
The advantage of this is to maintain the stability of the region. The bad news is not without it. Some officials who are rotten to the root are still delaying the development of the region, making Chris's industrial advancement plan slow.
Entering Serris and looking at the towering chimneys made Chris feel better. He rode on his horse, turned his head to Dez and said, "Against the magician Legion, infantry alone is not enough."
He looked at each other, pulling the reins to slow the horse forward. Okay, he continued: "We have artillery, rifles, and the strongest firepower for the ground troops...but we don't have any weapons to defend against Dragon Knight."
If it is described in modern tactical terms, The strongest of Chris's troops is ground-to-ground combat, and the ground-to-air is basically still in a blank state: "If you encounter the magic Legion on the ground, I don't know if the line of defense composed of rifles and artillery can fight, but if you encounter a magic Legion on the ground, I don't know if the line of defense composed of rifles and artillery can be opposed. Dragons...we have all the troops in our hands that are going to suffer."
Dez was a little embarrassed and answered Chris's question: "Your Majesty, actually...we know about Magic Empire's mage Legion. There are not many. The records are very vague, and there are only a few words in some historical materials."
"The war between the Magic Empire and our mortal empire is generally dispatched by Dragon Knight and some devil beast cavalry. So We know more about Dragon Knight and devil beast cavalry, and there are even some ways to fight." Dez said everything he knew.
He looked towards Chris and explained in detail: "Usually, to fight Dragon Knight, you need to prepare more ballistas...but this is only a very reluctant method, because there are very few troops. It can resist both the sky and the underground at the same time."
"The devil beast cavalry has thicker armor and higher battle strength than ordinary cavalry, so it is difficult to block. The opponent's charge is easy to hit. Through the defense line of traditional infantry." After all, Dez is a mortal who has "anti-Magic Empire thinking" early on, and he knows the information in great detail.
"Tanks with bombers..." After hearing Dez's description, Chris covered his face and gave an evaluation that was very in line with his knowledge. No wonder Magic Empire can crush mortal civilization for thousands of years, making mortal civilization stagnant in the weak and cold weapon era.
If Earth had a civilization that could produce terrifying war machines such as tanks and bombers in 1627, it would not be difficult to bring all the surrounding civilizations back to Barbarian Desolate Era.
"There's a question I've been meaning to ask." Chris ignored the confusion on Dez's face and didn't explain what tanks and planes were, but asked a question he was interested in. topic of.
"What's the problem?" Hearing Chris's question, Dez was very curious and looked towards Chris beside him: "Your Majesty?"
"Why have we been so far, It's rare to see high-level wild devil beasts living in jungles or deep mountains." Chris asked suspiciously.
"I can tell you this question. It's actually very simple. Like magicians, the higher the devil beast, the higher the affinity for magic elements... These creatures with high level wisdom, Would love to live in places with a lot of magic." Dez has researched a lot about Magic Empire, so the answer comes right away.
"It's no wonder, so mortals can survive in this world, because we can only occupy the places that magicians and those rare beasts don't like." Chris said with a sneer.
He paused, and then asked again: "In this case, is it possible that we find some wild devil beasts to experiment with our weapons and equipment?"
Dez, who can be said to be experienced and knowledgeable, shook the head and replied: "As far as I know, even in the Holy Demon Emperor country, a wild strong demon beast is very expensive and dangerous. And they won't sell a devil. Beast to mortals, it's their pride."
"Pride...ha!" Chris laughed at himself: "I'm sure they'll soon let go of their pride and condescend to come to ours Let's talk to us as an equal!"
Dez said: "I also believe that this day will come soon! My Your Majesty! I have been reading various ancient books before, including Various documents from more than 1,000 years ago... There are many mortals who have killed the giant dragon through careful preparation."
Having said this, he looked towards Chris and said, "Since these giant dragons can be Killed by swords, they can be killed by cannonballs! I am sure of this! As long as we are equipped with enough modern weapons, we can challenge these goddamn devil beasts!"
"This is the most optimistic estimate, we have to prepare for the worst..." Chris said with a strong sense of urgency, "So we have to prepare more powerful weapons until we are absolutely sure to win!"
"What's your plan?" Dez looked at Chris in surprise and asked, "Let's make more advanced weapons?"
"Yes! We can't just be passive. Beaten, we're going to fight back! Not only do we have to defend against their attacks, we're going to attack them in their territory!" Chris said to Dez, clenching his fists.
Chris's idea is actually very simple: since he can't come up with advanced technical weapons such as tanks and planes in a short time, he can concentrate on anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns!
