I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Just a few words could cause suspicion to appear in the originally united camp, leading to a crisis of trust and drastically reducing the offensive pressure faced by the rebels.

When the Tsar received the news of the fall of Port Bernoro, he flew into a rage and executed a number of servants, causing panic in the palace.

And when his call to the Kingdom's Saint fell on deaf ears and received no response, he went completely insane.

As the supreme Tsar who controls the military, political and religious powers and no one dares to question his words, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

But no matter how angry he was, the situation had already tilted in the direction that he could least accept.

However, just when the outcome of the battle was decided, the Britian Empire suddenly stepped forward and initiated a mediation meeting.

Brittian had not expected that during the time they were focusing on the Western Front, their ally was almost gone...

Chapter 218: The Alliance is the Financial Backer

The timing of the intervention of the Britian Empire was critical, as it happened to be the point when the general trend was about to be realized but not yet realized. The situation that had been clear became turbulent again.

Especially under the leadership of Brittian, several surrounding countries sent representatives from their respective countries to participate in the peace talks.

Internationally, they have not yet occupied the imperial capital, completed the recovery of the entire territory, completely driven the Tsar out of power and rebuilt the country. They are an "unorthodox" organization, so they have no diplomatic relations and no allies.

No matter what, the serf uprising army is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of mid-to-high-end combat power, especially since the Britian Empire is right next to them, which can directly affect their economic livelihood and even the development of the military field.

If other surrounding countries were added, the country would be completely blockaded and the pressure would be enormous. Even the wavering nobles would have to wait and see the situation so that the Tsar could take a breather.

The Britian Empire's intervention actually had deeper considerations. The nature of the Tsarist serf rebellion was quite ambiguous to neighboring countries.

They are either empires or kingdoms, and essentially belong to the same system, whether it is centralized or fiefdoms, but the operating team is still centered around nobles and manor owners.

But the rebels are different. This is an organization without direct leadership and participation of nobles, and it is about to fight against the liquidation of nobles. They will not allow such a country to be born, which will have a very bad impact on the people of neighboring countries.

Just like the Western United Armed Forces in the western region of the Britian Empire, which is currently in a semi-independent state, once the rebels complete the establishment of their country, it will greatly boost the confidence of all the armed forces in the rebellious regions.

Serfs were not unique to the Tsarist Empire; other countries also had them to varying degrees.

Just to tell you a joke, in fact, on the main continent, let alone the Empire, the level of automation in the lives of the nobles in most kingdoms is not much worse than that of the Alliance, and is even better.

They can also make water, electricity and food come by waving their hands, have a cool room when it is hot and a warm room when it is cold, and put on clothes automatically by stretching their arms, without having to do anything by themselves.

So, who can say that human automation is not automation?

Slaves have become an indispensable part of the imperial kingdom and an extremely effective deterrent to the lower-class people.

The punishment of being forced into slavery is enough to make a family fall into eternal damnation, let alone when it is imposed on an individual. Everything you have, including your life, no longer belongs to you. You are just an animal in the form of a human.

Churches in different regions would even use slaves as sacrifices. Each body part had its own unique use.

If the Roshek dynasty were successfully overthrown by the serfs, it would be difficult to guarantee that other kingdoms would not have armed forces with similar slogans.

At the same time, through this meeting, the Britian Empire also wanted to ease the current military conflict with the Mantogle Empire.

The meeting was held in Mgrin, the capital of the relatively neutral Surya Kingdom. This time, one and a half more countries came than during the Seven-Nation Alliance.

The extra one is the Alliance representative Koi, and the half is the current Roshek resistance, represented by Wellington who returned from the Alliance after completing his studies.

As for why the most distant alliance in the subcontinent can also participate in such a meeting and have an equal status with the two empires, it is purely because of the halo of the financial sponsor.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current alliance is so powerful that even the two great empires have to look at the alliance's face to a certain extent.

I may not want the seat for this meeting, but you cannot refuse to give it to me, otherwise you will start by issuing interest-demanding warnings.

Apart from the two kingdoms that were busy scheming and fighting against the capitalist businessmen who were gradually gaining power within the kingdom.

Whether it was the German-American War or the war between the two empires, there was a massive supply of materials from the alliance behind them.

The Roshek Dynasty being pushed to the point of desperation may be the most serious unrest on this continent, but it is definitely not the only one.

Other countries have related problems to varying degrees, especially those involved in the war.

A war of attrition is the most torturous and painful way of warfare. The industrial and agricultural bases of several major countries cannot possibly support such a huge supply of materials without interruption for many years.

Therefore, both the kingdom and the empire were filled with famine.

For example, the Britian Empire had to suppress the restless Western Alliance in the west and fight the Orc Empire in the south, so its material consumption was astronomical.

Especially with the unrest in the west, the major manor farms had long since cut off their supply of grain crops to the empire. As a grain-producing area with fertile land was in this situation, the empire was naturally not much better off.

According to the documents in the intelligence system, a rationing system has now been implemented within the Britian Empire, with each resident receiving a monthly food ration of 15 kilograms of flour and other food plus some other daily necessities.

The rest can only be solved by ourselves, the empire does not have it.

Because the Empire gave priority to supplying guns, bullets, aircraft, food, clothing, etc. to the soldiers on the front lines, the common people could only wait a little bit.

Even so, its domestic supply system will find it difficult to cope with the situation.

Since it cannot be done, it can only be handed over to the country that can do it, that is, the Seris Alliance.

Medea was an avid railway enthusiast. He laid railroad tracks wherever his army conquered because it was a sure-win business.

Whether for military purposes, industrial purposes, or even for civilian purposes in the future, railways will never be out of date. Efficiency is money, life, and everything!

The emphasis on the construction of railway networks and air transportation networks has brought the entire alliance together as a whole, magnifying its own cost, output and transportation advantages.

The reason why several countries on the main continent have been able to fight the wars for years is that they rely on the continuous supply of flour, meat, steel plates, and various arms and military supplies delivered by the alliance through sea transportation.

The total tonnage of the Alliance's merchant ships is now much greater than the total of all military and civilian ships of the Seven-Nation Alliance.

Moreover, as the war continued to drag on, basically all the major participating countries owed a lot of debt to the Seris Alliance. Preliminary statistics show that the four countries together owed the alliance nearly 50 billion alliance coins.

Moreover, the Alliance does not accept monetary repayments, only raw materials and precious metals. Most of the precious metals of the Seven-Nation Alliance have been absorbed by the Alliance, making the Alliance coin the mainstream trading currency in the main continent and gaining pricing power in disguise.

Through the stable development over the years, even if the alliance did not use force against the main continent, it gradually infiltrated its influence and became an indispensable part of the main continent's national system.

This is also the fundamental reason for the disagreement within the alliance. There are too many and too complicated interests involved, and people are in different positions, so the way of considering issues will be different.

Importing ideology from abroad is important, but proving one's own excellence and advancement is equally important. This is a choice of entry point.

When the time is not yet ripe, give priority to the construction of domestic basic foundations and improve the quality of life of the people in the alliance.

Then, through large-scale investment in education in various countries, such as targeted support for one or two universities to serve as the academic affairs offices of the Alliance, their potential students can come to the Alliance for further studies.

The students selected in this way are either gifted or have extraordinary family backgrounds, and they are a natural elite group.

Use the general environment to subtly influence the other party's way of thinking, and when they return to their country and become an important part of the country, gradually expand your influence.

Chapter 219: What everyone expects?

When Wellington got off the sedan of the Surya Ministry of Foreign Affairs and stood in front of the magnificently decorated King's Palace, he couldn't help but take a breath and was once again shocked by the wealth of the Surya Kingdom.

Since their five-member delegation entered Surya, all their food, clothing, housing and transportation were taken care of by the Surya Kingdom, which made them experience what luxury is.

After Bratt ascended the throne and officially became king, his relationship with the Seris Alliance became increasingly close, and he gradually evolved into the image of a bootlicker and a younger brother, but the generous rewards he received also made other countries jealous.

Not only is its industrial strength second only to Seris and superior to the main continent, the Kingdom of Surya also enjoys the relaxed import and export policies of the Seris Alliance.

The import volume of various types of cars and trucks is the highest in the world, and almost every household has achieved the living standard of owning an Alliance car.

In order to preserve its own wealth, the Surya Kingdom also spent a lot of money to purchase various military equipment from the alliance to strengthen itself.

Apart from weapons for personal use that are truly high-end or ultra-high-end, as long as Blatt clamors to buy them, he can buy some.

For example, the Surya Kingdom has an air force brigade with two fighter squadrons, one bomber squadron, and one transport squadron, totaling 70 second-hand fighter planes.

The purchase price paid by the Surya Kingdom was enough for the Alliance to equip itself with an air wing with hundreds of new aircraft. The money given was really too much.

In addition, Surya also introduced hundreds of Saint-Chamon heavy tanks produced by the Seris Alliance for the Tsarist Empire's modified production line, thousands of soldier-level bodies and a large number of 75-152 artillery.

Even those who don't know how to use these weapons simply hire retired soldiers from the Alliance to operate them with high salaries. It's as outrageous as if Surya is just buying the right to use them.

However, judging from the paper strength now, although the personal weapons are not as good as the top ones, the regular army of the Surya Kingdom can definitely fight against the regular army of the Empire, and it is no problem to fight back and forth.

After all, the Kingdom of Surya also serves as the alliance's external facade, and is also a continental enclave in emergency situations, preventing the alliance from being unilaterally blocked in the subcontinent.

Just as Wellington finished his visit and walked up the stairs, a convoy of cars flying the flag of the Seris Union slowly approached.

Wellington stopped and waited

Soon, members of the diplomatic delegation headed by Coe got off the car one after another. Seeing Wellington Coe showed a smile on his face, he walked up to shake hands and said: "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Wellington stretched out his hands, held Koi's hands tightly and smiled: "Yes, but at that time I was actually ready, either to see you soon, or..."

"But this meeting was beyond my expectations. I thought our second meeting would be at the diplomatic ceremony."

Koi smiled when he heard this, and said meaningfully, "It is true that this time it is a little unexpected, but the day you mentioned will come soon."

Wellington understood what Coe meant and showed obvious joy on his face. What he was most worried about was that the rebels would be isolated and helpless. Coe's words undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

To say such things on an occasion like today is to implicitly express support for the rebels behind Wellington.

After a brief greeting, the two parties walked into the palace hall together. Representatives from other countries who had arrived earlier could not help but show surprise on their faces when they saw the two parties walking together.

In fact, Koi was also very puzzled as to why Medea changed its previously established gradual strategy and changed its attitude from a neutral position.

Ask if you don't understand

Medea's answer to him was: "There are too many people under the stage. I am not sure which one needs help. Unless it stands up and reaches out its hand, I can see it~"

“Only those who have the courage to stand up are worthy of the alliance’s help.”

Education

It is a very important part of ideological output.

Because it is difficult for people to reverse, overturn and reshape their habitual cognition of themselves.

Being able to constantly deny and correct one's own judgments, learn from experience, and rethink and plan from different perspectives, currently, as far as Medea knows, only teachers can do this.

Through targeted support and funding, one or two top universities are established in the other country, and then these universities send students to the alliance, who are further trained by the alliance universities and then sent back. In this way, a future elite that is pro-alliance is cultivated, and no matter how much money is spent, it is not a loss.

What's more, this matter will not actually lose money. The alliance can use the interest generated by the loaned out debt and let the other country spend this interest on funding as an investment of the alliance.

You don't even need to use your capital, you can use the other party's money to train your future followers~

This is not utilitarian, but you can say it is.

After all, if you want to accomplish something, someone always needs to play a less glorious role. The core driving force that pushes society forward is always the various desires of human beings.

If you want to make your life better and have more like-minded partners, it is not enough to simply shout a slogan to move yourself for a few seconds. This is putting the cart before the horse.

In fact, by tracing back to the origin, we can find that the concept is also a process that is gradually developed from fantasy and imagination to specific scientific demonstration, testing, error correction and continuous improvement.

It is because of the pursuit of beauty that we summarize it. What we want is a method that can stand up to scrutiny, a plan that can stand the test, and can bring real benefits that are enough to change social and personal predicaments.

They stand on the commanding heights and make gestures, instead of lowering themselves to seek solutions seriously, and they fail to transform the working people from numbers back into real people.
