I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Becoming a citizen, one is structurally harvested and falls into the category of worker or labor slave. Even if one manages to turn things around by accident, one will be knocked down again. The only path to advancement is to join the army and become a noble.

The front line just needs a large number of soldiers, which is a perfect closed loop.

Chapter 195: Mainland Orthodoxy? I can do it too

Chernit was recaptured by the Tsarist Empire in a tug-of-war that lasted nearly two months. 25 Saint Tsar tanks participated in the battle, 7 were lost in non-combat situations, and 18 were destroyed, resulting in the entire army being wiped out.

But before they were destroyed, they successfully disrupted the battle lines arranged by the Vatican Army, providing a good opportunity for the subsequent main force to launch a frontal attack.

The cumulative casualties of soldiers on both sides of the war in two months reached more than 400,000, most of whom were ordinary soldiers, but there were also tens of thousands of magicians killed or wounded, most of whom were mecha drivers.

Now, the Vatican's army was pushed back to the Golotsk Oblast and was waiting for reinforcements, waiting for more armed civilians who had been conscripted from the country to rush to the battlefield.

The Tsarist envoy to the Alliance immediately rushed to the Seris Alliance General Armament Department to discuss the details of the new arms trade.

In addition to ordering a division-sized number of tanks, he also tentatively asked whether they could purchase tank technology. They could also spend money to purchase any other weapon technology.

The tank technology was rejected on the spot by the alliance officials in charge of the negotiations, and there was no room for discussion, but the alliance could produce customized self-propelled systems, weapon systems and the required engine products for them.

In other words, I know that you will dismantle and modify the tanks you buy, so it would be better for me to make them for you directly according to your requirements. You can go back and produce the armor plates and other things yourself, and then assemble the parts and use them.

In this way, more semi-finished Seris cargo ships can be transported over there. Because they are customized, the selling price can be several percent higher than selling light tanks directly, which is a very cost-effective deal.

As for other technologies such as the Maxim machine gun and the LB-11 bolt-action rifle, the alliance was willing to discuss the resale of technology. The price asked was not very high, on the contrary it was very affordable, and the cooperation was quickly agreed upon.

The alliance had no obligation to help them manufacture finished products according to local conditions. It only provided technical drawings, and industrial equipment and other things had to be purchased separately.

Anyway, if you can't make any finished product, just buy it from the alliance. There are discounts for large quantities.

Of course, the price of industrial equipment is definitely not very beautiful~

As for whether radial engines and self-propelled tracked chassis can be cracked by technology, it is hard to say about the chassis, but it is absolutely impossible for radial engines.

Even in the industrial field, this thing is a relatively sophisticated engine model. It is rare to understand it by taking it apart. Especially this kind of double and triple nesting doll engine with more than ten cylinders. It takes a long time to figure out how they are linked to produce work.

Just a few minutes after the envoy of the Tsarist Empire left, the representative of the Holy See walked in in disheveled clothes. It seemed that he met someone from the Tsarist Empire at the door, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly exchange.

The Vatican had similar requests. They were too lazy to engage in smuggling anymore, so they just went straight to the Alliance to negotiate, wanting artillery and tank technology.

As for tank technology, they would not sell it, but the Seris Alliance would not mind helping to design a finished tank with performance indicators roughly equivalent to those of the Tsarist Empire according to the other party's needs.

The scene where both teams meet their match and talents are what the league wants to see.

In a sense, the existence of the Seris Alliance has invisibly increased the competitive pressure on the countries on the main continent.

This pressure is all-round. In the past, countries competed with each other on the number and quality of magicians. After the emergence of mechas, they competed on the number of mecha soldiers. So far, it is still within the controllable range.

Seris's large-scale machine production model directly cleaned up the existing stable model and brought everyone to the same level, no matter if they were magicians or something else.

A magician's life is a matter of life. It takes more than twenty years to train a mid- to high-level magician, requires education in a school, and requires materials to learn.

Mechanical soldiers also require a lot of resources to purchase, train and develop.

But can the fate of the lower class be told? Different people have different answers.

But no matter what the answer is, it does not change the fact that in a war environment, both sides are just a string of numbers with different values.

The huge base of the middle and lower class people means that as long as the opponent's defense can be broken, they will be killed.

Ordinary soldiers nowadays are not of much value. It takes at least a dozen shots with a bolt-action rifle to break the shield of a high-level magician, and one or two more shots are needed to complete the kill. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to have such an opportunity.

But the intermediate magician could no longer withstand two shots from the rifle.

If you extend the time, you will find that it doesn't matter even if the weapon never iterates again, and even if the exchange ratio with high-level magic is 1-100.

The base, number of births, and learning costs of the two sides are completely not at the same level.

Twenty years might allow the number of civilians with sufficient food to grow by leaps and bounds, but how many magicians can graduate in twenty years?

The power of a bullet fired by an ordinary 8-year-old child with a rifle is not less than that of an adult's. This is the most terrifying aspect of the impact of industry on war.

And Seris has opened this Pandora's box. As long as the continent is not unified and as long as the kingdom and empire remain as a feudal system, there will still be wars and conflicts in the world.

The survival pressure for magicians will only become increasingly higher and higher. What she did was to directly cut off the roots of the orderly inheritance of magicians on the main continent!

Before Seris was born, the most ordinary low-level magician was also a noble. He could ride on the heads of common people and pee and shit on them, and the other party could not even show anger in his eyes, otherwise he would end up dead.

But in just a few decades, a low-level magician could be knocked down with one shot, a mid-level magician could withstand two shots, and a high-level magician would be blown up on the spot if he was targeted by concentrated fire.

This is exactly what Medea said about bringing the opponent down to her level, and then defeating them with the rich experience.

She has promoted the Alliance's LB-11 standard rifle to all places where it can be promoted. Later, she will package the technical data and sell it to various countries, as well as the Type 75 field artillery and Maxim heavy machine gun technology.

Help them solve all technical problems to the point where they can mass-produce weapons, and even tanks have begun to be exported.

When a nation or a country faces life and death, it will definitely survive at any cost, and taking up arms and waging foreign war is the simplest and most direct way.

Is Saint level powerful?

Apart from the existing Saint level and God level, in today's world where capital is developing rapidly, internal and external contradictions are constantly accumulating, and war is catalyzing military iterations, how many magicians can live to touch the Saint level?

Which country, or which lord or noble can refuse the opportunity to arm themselves quickly and cheaply? Can you refuse it, what if your opponent is equipped with new weapons?

With so many weapons on hand and a large number of civilians being armed as an army, wouldn't it be a waste of investment if we don't take them out for a walk?

Will the territory next to you also have to spend money to buy some equipment for yourself? Isn't this an arms race?

As the situation on the main continent became increasingly turbulent, the alliance, which had been watching the fire from the other side of the river, was not affected at all.

After a long time, one side will be playing badly while the other side will develop steadily. By then, it will be hard to say who will be the orthodox one in the continent.

Chapter 196 Ovinia's 'Princess' Uncle

It's a bit embarrassing to say, it's not that the Seris Alliance cannot participate in the war on the main continent, but it's not appropriate at the moment.

The current plan that Media has set for the alliance is to build a railway network and a canal network. The railway is easy to build, but the construction of the canal will require the full strength of the country.

It is not as simple as dredging a section of the river, but rather digging a large-scale water conservancy project that runs through the alliance from west to east.

Due to the special geographical environment of the subcontinent and the vast territory of the alliance, there are a large number of excellent deep-water docks on the back, but they are difficult to fully utilize.

For example, at the Fundrados Deepwater Port Shipyard, after a ship is launched, it has to travel a large circle along the coastline across the entire alliance before it can arrive at the Sendegas Port for berthing. The same is basically true for other shipyards.

Then it would be particularly important if there were one or two waterways that ran through the territory and could support the passage of large warships. This would not only conceal part of one's naval strength, but also provide rapid support to the main continent, which would be a good deal that would benefit future generations.

It was this century-long project that consumed most of the alliance's national strength and energy, forcing Media to choose to make trouble behind the scenes instead of attacking head-on.

No one would be stupid enough to start a war abroad while carrying out large-scale construction at home. The last person who did such a thing would have been ranked in the top two of the list of incompetent rulers.

And seriously speaking, in general, the judgment made when one is not involved is the most accurate because it will not be interfered with by subjective interest conflicts.

For example, the Alliance is now selling arms to both the Vatican of Demetria and the Tsarist Empire of Roshek. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with the Alliance. It will make money no matter what it does.

"Are you sure?!"

Medea stood up and walked hurriedly from behind the desk to Tina, whose skin was three shades darker.

'It is confirmed, Your Majesty! After multiple investigations, inquiries and inquiries, we have a 98% chance of proving the result is true!'

'And based on the appearance of the other party's descendants and the diary of her grandfather, it can also indirectly prove that the source is reliable.'

"Appearance? Any image?"

Tina handed over a crystal stone with photocopying magic, which, when activated, revealed the portrait preserved inside.

Medea took a closer look. From thinking the news was ridiculous when she heard it before, she began to accept it after seeing his appearance in person.

It's indeed very similar.

But not like her after awakening, but very similar to her before.

There is no ugly witch. It all comes down to the changes brought about by the elemental optimization of the body upon awakening.

She remembered that her mother Alyssa once said that her eyes used to be sea blue, the same as her grandfather Ackerman and her father. This was a characteristic of her family's bloodline and affinity with the water element. Her hair color was inherited from her mother.

The other person also had sea-blue pupils and a face that was very similar to hers, with very high similarities in eyebrows, eyes, and nose. These two features happened to be more inherited from her father.

Waving his hand to erase the image, Medea calmly asked, "Does the other party have any requests?"

Tina was stunned for a moment and then explained: "The other party was very excited when he learned about the existence of your family and wanted to meet you or your relatives to confirm it."

Finally, Tina explained in detail the whole story, how the place name New Astell was discovered, and how the investigation process was conducted. She told Medea in detail.

Mitia crossed her arms and sat back on the sofa: "So they don't know about my current situation?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we only told you about your father's deeds in your public records."

Tina also understood what Medea was worried about, so at the beginning she did not reveal any information about Seris's subsequent development or Medea's personal information.

After getting permission, she conducted an investigation first, and only came to confirm after she was sure, and then supplemented the final key materials required.

The other party's identity and geographical location made Tina keenly aware of the value and benefits involved, which was why she spent so much time there before returning.

Tina has never revealed any information about Medea without her permission, so for now, the initiative of whether to recognize the relationship is still in Medea's hands.

Seeing that the other party's answer above said that the grandmother was still alive, Mitia held his chin with some distress: "I feel a little troublesome. My second uncle has a lot of experience. He gave all the princesses of Ovinia to me..."

Because the grandmother of this guy who is suspected to be the Queen's cousin is named Ovinia, which means that their two families are related by marriage.

Tina also had a strange look on her face. According to the trajectory, the story line can now be deduced to be roughly the same. The predecessors did not die after encountering the storm, at least the uncle Medea and Princess Ovinia did not.

They may have been rescued later. The two had been in a foreign country for a long time, and they fell in love and naturally became husband and wife.

They were probably afraid that her father and brother would cause trouble, so they had been living there in hiding and had never thought of contacting Ovinia.

When Tina came to his door, the old memory was reopened and the old man began to miss home.

But now there is no Ovinia Kingdom...it's hard to comment

Mitia tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "Forget it. You've been working hard outside for such a long time. I'll give you a month off to rest. In a month, you and Deputy Minister Koi will lead a team to bring the other family back. It just so happens that the new battleship will be undergoing ocean trials."

There is no way to hide. If they can find them, they can also find you. It is better to take the initiative into your own hands.

Besides, it wasn't her who was going to greet them, and she wouldn't be the one who was scolded, so what was there to worry about?

After receiving the news, Koi was still a little bit unbelieving. He ran to Medea to confirm it repeatedly, then hurried back home to share the good news with his mother Alyssa.

Alyssa has always been troubled by the issue of family inheritance. She often pulls Koy's ears and arranges blind dates for him, which has already scared Koy.

Now that he sees that there are other relatives around, it's just what he wants. At least his mother shouldn't continue to push him so hard, right?

Medea could also guess what he was thinking.

Alyssa can still let him delay since he has no relatives. Anyway, Koy is very talented and there is time for him to choose the person he likes.
