I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Theoretically, a large group shield formed by two shield vehicles embedded in each other in a platoon-level 50-man unit can withstand the magic attack of an opposing team of 100 people.

As the number of troops continues to increase, the strength of the shield will continue to be integrated and superimposed.

However, this also puts forward very stringent requirements on the Alliance's military industry. Small and medium-sized shield vehicles are easy to make, but division-level and army-level vehicles definitely require heavy or super-heavy shield generators.

The larger the team size, the stronger the opponents they will encounter. Not to mention being able to withstand the attacks of a god-level powerhouse, if a god-level powerhouse from the same witch clan attacks, they must have the strength of a saint-level defense.

Then, heavy tanks were also quickly launched and research and development began. The Alliance must at least gain an advantage in one section of the open space. The heavy tank platform with a starting weight of 40 tons can allow the Alliance to integrate more weapons and technologies.

In the air, if we only talk about fighting against the Vatican cavalry, the single-wing fighters that the Alliance has now iterated are enough, but it is difficult to create a weapon of the flying fortress level~

Putting aside whether this kind of living target has any use in the alliance, the fact that the opponent can float in anti-gravity shows that the alliance has not pointed out any similar technology.

The airship is relatively close, but the huge airbag proves that as long as the opponent can fly into the sky, it is best not to use this thing as a weapon of war~

Medea has already ordered John to try to steal the Vatican's anti-gravity suspension technology data. If the Alliance can learn this technology, she would be doing a disservice to it if she doesn't build an aircraft carrier.

At the beginning of the war, both sides gave Medea so many surprises. She didn't know what else would pop up in the end.

She was no longer optimistic about the role that light tanks could play. She had previously dismantled the shield generator of the magic pack. If the opponent cast a quasi-holy magic, it might destroy a tank division on the spot...

She felt a little regretful. If she hadn't dismantled it, she could have directly verified how effective the light tank could be with the shield generator installed. Now she could only urgently send two sets to John and ask him to find a chance to install them back and verify the actual combat effect.

Previously, the Holy See was affected by elemental suppression in the subcontinent, and the magic power packs equipped by Seris were also affected, especially the new version of the cube energy pack. It still needs to be verified to what level it has reached in the main continent.

At the same time, she felt a little relieved. Fortunately, there was the sea and elemental suppression between them. Otherwise, if the Holy See had landed in such a peak state when she had not yet developed, her chances of winning would have been very low.

Now she still dares to say that she can fight back and forth with the opponent and there will not be a one-sided situation.

At the same time, the first main battleship can also be equipped and launched within two years. By then, with the escort of the battleship, the strait will be a natural barrier that the Holy See will be unable to cross.

After getting through the initial period of the war, the Russian Empire felt that something was not right. It was obvious that they were preparing to attack the Vatican, intending to take advantage of the situation to kill the Vatican.

How come after enduring the Vatican's despicable sneak attacks in the early days, they couldn't gain any advantage in a direct battle between the two sides...

Didn't they say that the Vatican's second best army had been wiped out as a whole? How could there be any sense of lack of successors?

Little did people know that John actually played a very big role in this. In order to ensure that the attack of the Wokingmacher Consortium this time was foolproof, he could be said to have emptied out all his own assets.

He formed a special corps belonging to the Wokingmehe Union, which was equipped with all expensive imported mechanical armors, and also equipped them with Maxim heavy machine guns from the Alliance as one-time support firepower.

At the same time, the three-high training method was used: high salary, high-intensity training, and high food standards.

While maintaining the unique high morale of the Vatican's soldiers, they adopted the alliance's common training methods to create a professional force.

Even the leading legion commander is Major General Brinton, the youngest and most talented guy in the Holy See.

The Holy See Kingdom could not give him absolute trust to let him lead a Holy See legion, and at most gave him a second-class division.

However, John could give him the trust he needed most and unconditionally support him in everything he needed. Even when he wanted the Alliance's infantry fighting vehicles as a means of transportation for his mecha soldiers, John gritted his teeth and smuggled a batch for him.

And Brinton did not disappoint John's trust. While the soldiers were undergoing intensive training, he also constantly reviewed and simulated to improve the offensive strategy.

In the end, on the battlefield, the Wojciech mercenaries took the lead in a rapid attack and occupied the Golotsk Oblast, forcing Roshchev to retreat and not dare to support the Chernitsky Oblast, giving John and the Vatican a perfect answer.

The location of Golotsk Oblast is very important, and it is also the most difficult city to conquer because it is built along the river. As long as the first round of offensive by the Holy See can be withstood, other states can provide continuous support along the rivers and land.

The Tsarist Empire has never relaxed its surveillance of the heavy weapons in the Vatican, but the Wokingmech mercenaries to which Brinton belongs do not have the authority to use the Vatican's heavy weapons...

Coupled with the rapid mobile raids at night, they caught the Golotsk Oblast off guard, suppressed Roshko's strategic maneuvering space to support Chernit, and left Chernitko isolated and helpless and captured by the Vatican.

If the two important states upstream are captured, the downstream states of Roshchek and Losevgo will be attacked from both sides by the Holy See, and it is only a matter of time before they change hands.

Most importantly, Cherniko Oblast has direct access to the open sea and is only two provinces away from Vyatlitsk, the capital of the Tsarist Empire.

Even if the mercenaries led by Brinton stopped there and only maintained the suppressive offensive against Roshk, the Tsar would have to withdraw his troops as a whole for strategic defense.

The offensive pressure on other fronts would be reduced a lot. Tsar Roschek would never dare to gamble that the two Vatican legions would not dare to go upstream and approach the imperial capital.

Few rulers possess such great courage; this can be said to be an obvious conspiracy.

Chapter 181 Exchange students arrive in Hong Kong, providing timely assistance

Mitoten Harbor

After a few days, when the Alliance transport ship at the port had handed over the cargo it was carrying, the Alliance cruiser docked and let the international students off.

The specially made radar was constantly rotating on the balance beam of the warship's mast. All air defense weapons were in a state of combat readiness and ready to be activated. The fire control and ranging teams were constantly searching for suspicious targets on land, sea and in the air.

Officials of the Roshek Dynasty had actually informed the fleet early on that they could dock at the port, and they were confident enough to ensure that the group of international students would be safe.

But the fleet commander had always disagreed. After all, the war had already spread to the port city, and the docks were usually the focus of attack. He could not bear the responsibility for any casualties among the students.

If the Alliance Parliament had not given them detailed instructions before setting off, requiring them to escort the group of students safely to the Roshek Royal Academy, he would have turned back halfway.

He didn't understand why his country's children had to be sent overseas, but his duty of obedience forced him to complete his mission.

Fortunately, the Alliance has prepared a guard team consisting of more than 100 special agents and a squad of mecha warriors for these 200 international students to strengthen the defense force of the Roshek Royal Academy.

At the same time, there is also the saint-level Shirleya as the last trump card.

Cassius, who was wearing a casual Zhongshan suit, couldn't help but take a deep breath the moment he stepped on land. He straightened his messy golden short hair and drew a cross with his hands on his chest: "Thank you, Queen for your blessing~"

The life of wandering on the sea has indeed left an indelible psychological trauma on this child who grew up in the inland.

When he walked in the cabin, the whole space seemed to be misplaced and crooked. Sleeping was even more shaky, forcing him to sleep in a hammock. Thinking of it, he shed tears of sadness.

After tidying up his clothes, Cassius, as the representative of the group of international students, began to count the number of students and led the special service team to provide them with the necessary help.

The noble officials of Roshek who were standing in the distance and watching were looking at this group of half-grown children in amazement.

The number of people was not what surprised them. Although they had never seen the clothing before, the Zhongshan suit was simple in style and there was nothing special about it.

But among this group of 200 people, the races are diverse and varied.

In fact, it is not very messy. The main races in the Alliance are humans and orcs. The population of other races is very low in the Alliance. For example, the population of the dwarves, the third largest race in the Alliance, is only around 200 million, not much more.

But there are so many branches of the Orcs~ there are the common cats, foxes, dogs, deer, bears, tigers, lions, and the uncommon alienated species, white tigers, white foxes, and other pure-colored ones. It's a hodgepodge of the animal world.

It can be said that each of them has their own unique features in appearance. Although their total number in the team is not as large as that of the human race, their presence is extremely high, and they don’t seem to be easy to manage.

Tsar's Princess Natalie Roshek is the highest-ranking member of the noble group that welcomed the exchange students from Seris.

I witnessed with my own eyes that the blond leader touched the head of a petite dwarf girl who was standing with her hands on her hips, and was then jumped up and kicked in the crotch by the other girl.

Natalie was horrified by this scene. Kicking such an important part, are all the girls in Seres so... bold?

At first she wanted to say so outrageous

But when she thought about the diplomatic message that the Seris Alliance had sent to the Roshek Dynasty, which emphasized several times that women should be respected as much as men, she didn't know what conclusion to draw.

The status of women in the Roshek Dynasty was very low, or in other words, the status of all women under the old system of the kingdom was not high. The Seris Alliance was obviously very aware of this, which is why it emphasized it again and again.

Cassius half-knelt on the ground with a mask of pain on his face: "Nayi, you have such a cruel heart!"

The dwarf problem girl Nayi angrily looked down at Cassius who was squatting on the ground with her hands on her hips: "The Queen said that pedophiles should be used as targets for the D20 howitzer!"

Cassius: "...But you are an adult~ otherwise how could you get into university?"

"Great! You really have some inappropriate thoughts! Who said I'm an adult? I'm a special student! Do you want to die? Take this from me!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me in the face! I'll try again next year..."

After hearing this, the two older girls who wanted to step forward and hold Nayi silently retracted their hands and looked at Cassius as if he were trash.

'Not even next year!'

"Hey, didn't I tell you not to hit my face?"

After being treated by the ship's doctor, the fox girl Veronica, who was suffering from severe seasickness, felt much better. She walked off the warship with a pale face, reached out and grabbed Nayi's hand to stop her from chasing and beating her:

"Xiao Na, forget it for now. It won't be too late to deal with him after everything is settled."

Veronica's tone was gentle, but her drooping snow-white fox ears showed that she was indeed in poor condition.

Nayi angrily took back the family heirloom hammer and said, "Hmph, you're lucky! Senior sister, do you feel better?"

"Yeah... much better."

Veronica touched Nayi's furry little head, and the latter rubbed her hand happily. This scene made Cassius both envious and jealous.

As a mutated snow fox, Veronica not only has a very high talent for ice and snow magic, but also has a delicate appearance and a dignified personality. She is very popular in the top universities in the alliance and is a goddess-level figure.

However, Cassius had no interest in her at all and always treated her as a good brother who he worked with.

He has been plotting evil against Nayi, who is still under the maximum death penalty, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Whether it is the official rules in society, schools, or the clan rules of the dwarves, they all have strong constraints on children who go out of the dwarf tribe.

Interracial marriages are almost impossible, and the different life spans of both parties lead to such special treatment.

If humans and orcs cannot reach level 9, their lifespan will be limited to 150 years. Unless they break through to level 9, their lifespan can be further extended to be roughly the same as that of dwarves.

However, Cassius was very talented, with a high probability of breakthrough, and his actions were limited to occasional pats on the head, which was why everyone turned a blind eye and he didn't go to jail.

The precocious dwarves usually improve their realm very quickly. They have the ability to protect themselves. Those who can withstand their fists without being beaten to death can be regarded as gaining some recognition in disguise.

However, this recognition is very limited. At least judging from Nayi's performance, Cassius still has a long way to go in his quest, and he has to withstand the death gaze from the mecha soldiers from time to time.

Seeing that the Seris Alliance team had basically adjusted their status, Natalie led the welcoming officials and nobles to hold a welcome ceremony belonging to the Roshek Dynasty.

The ceremony was very grand and represented the Tsar's importance. Veronica, the female representative, had a cordial and friendly exchange with Princess Natalie, and under the guidance of the other party, they went to the Tsar's palace here for a grand dinner.

No wonder the Tsar gave such a grand reception, as the exchange student team was accompanied by a large amount of military supplies.

In addition to two battalions of Sherman light tanks, there were 50 bolt-action rifles and 75 rounds of ammunition, 2000 heavy machine guns of different models with rounds of ammunition, and rapid-fire field guns with rounds of spare ammunition.

Although these were all bought by the Tsar, the fact that the Seris Alliance could deliver them at this critical moment really was like providing timely assistance.

The international students who came with a large amount of weapons and equipment were naturally no less than lucky dolls in the eyes of the nobles of the Roshek Dynasty.

Chapter 182 Will They Protect Those Who Beat Them?

Cassius and his companions played for several days before they were arranged to board the carriage to the royal capital. They did not have a train for the time being.

The Alliance Guard soldiers have only a limited number of explosion-proof wheeled vehicles. These are specially modified versions that use elemental internal combustion engines instead of diesel engines, which have greater power and longer endurance.

Although it was a horse-drawn carriage, the riding experience of the new carriage developed by the Surya Kingdom was quite good and not as painful as the previous ones.

The slow pace also allowed Veronica and the others to have a unique outing. Because of their special identities and the fact that they were traveling with great nobles like Princess Natalie, they could conduct on-site observations unimpeded wherever they went.

This group of young students was going outside the alliance for the first time in their lives, and they were extremely curious about the unfamiliar systems and exotic customs.

But after two states they all wilted.
