I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Medea looked up in surprise and confirmed again: "All?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. All the international students... Most of the transport planes that have returned recently are former noble students of the Roshek Dynasty. Their status is not suitable for them to continue living in Ernesto."

The Internal Affairs Officer looked a little embarrassed: "As for our children... they said they want to contribute to their ideals, so we can't use too harsh measures."

Medea felt his head starting to hurt after hearing this. He held his forehead and sighed, "These kids are really... it's all because of that damn kid Cassius!"

"If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to their parents?"

It was agreed that the children would be sent abroad to study, but in the end they were left to fight on the battlefield. Which elder was mentally prepared for such a thing? I guess many people fainted when the notice was sent out.

It may be difficult to allocate places for studying abroad in the future, and you may be able to do anything else when you go abroad except studying.

"Your Majesty... In fact, it's not just the international students, there are also many student organizations that have come together to raise money for the ship, wanting to go to Ernesto to support the construction of the ideal country."

Medea: "......"

"Dissuade them first... Never mind, this won't work. Let me think about it."

Medea thought and wrote and drew on the paper. As the largest social alliance at present, Seris has the obligation as the big brother to unconditionally help like-minded allies.

She will call on the large group of veterans in the alliance country, but not mainly students.

The weapons provided by the alliance, especially aircraft and tanks, require professional technicians to operate them.

Retired soldiers generally have mature and stable thoughts, solid professional skills and a combat system educated by systematic training. Having them added to Ernesto's forces will be a great reinforcement.

And the students are not saying that they can't do it, but they don't recommend it.

After all, having ideals and ambitions but not having strong professional skills can easily lead to unnecessary sacrifices, which is a pity.

However, you can persuade people, but you cannot do it in the name of the official. This will undoubtedly dampen their enthusiasm. We have to find a suitable way.

After a long while, she said, "Notify the family members. At the same time, visit the family members of the international students and explain the matter clearly. Ask them to write a letter and we will deliver it to them when the time comes."

"They can go out and make their own living, but they have to get through the ordeal at home first. If their families can support them, we won't interfere. Everything will be done in accordance with the pension and honor standards for internationalist fighters."

"If there are still some students in the domestic community who are determined to go, then we will gather them together for two months of devilish training and military theory courses, and then send them there by the Navy's dreadnought fleet."

"In addition, we will draw several marines from the navy with excellent individual combat capabilities. If any of the guys can't stand the battlefield and want to leave, we will send them over to pick them up."

The sergeant quickly took notes and when Medea finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted: "Understood, I will do it right away."

"Wait a minute, where is the closest area between the Britian Empire and Ernesto?"

"Your Majesty, it should be Drode State in Britian. The closest state to Ernesto, Xinwapa State, is only 800 kilometers away and is also the only gateway to Ernesto's new capital."

"Notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold a diplomatic press conference to set the tone for the conflict. Saint-level and above Allied warriors are not allowed to cross the Drode Line and enter Ernesto to escalate the conflict. Violators will be executed!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Medea's move was to reduce the intensity of the war and give Ernesto some chance of winning. After all, if Ernesto could resist the multinational coalition forces, the other side might just turn the table.

In terms of low- and middle-level combat power, Ernesto may be able to compete with the opponent by relying on mobilization and weapons and equipment supported by the alliance, but in terms of top-level combat power, he is on a completely different level.

Even if each opponent sends a saint, there will be six of them. Which kingdom can withstand such devastation?

"I want to go too! I want to go too!!!"

The over two-meter-tall dragon girl Elsa wrapped Medea tightly like a wall, but acted coquettishly towards Medea with a chokingly sweet voice.

Mitia pulled down her arm and rolled her eyes: "What are you going to do? Are you really that addicted to flying?"

"Of course it's addictive! If you haven't ridden a vehicle before, you won't understand the thrill of flying around in the sky."

Medea: “?”

"Do you want to take a look at what you are talking about? How can the one who is being ridden know whether it is enjoyable or not?"

"Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, but I'm going anyway! I'm tired of training to act!"

Medea refused directly: "If you go to the market, you will have to open the canopy to catch the wind when flying a fighter plane at your height. It's okay to fight for fun, but if you really go to the battlefield, your brain will be more obvious than the propeller~"

It would be a shame if such a tall and strong man didn't carry a flamethrower, and he should not have anything to do with fighter jets and tank units.

Elsa's body glowed slightly and her figure gradually shrank, turning into a dark-skinned little girl: "Well, this should be okay!"

Mitia stroked his chin and looked around: "Not really. Your height is only suitable for sitting in a torpedo as a navigator."

"Get out!!!"

No matter how Medea had weighed the situation and the pros and cons, if there was a country that clearly raised the red flag, the strength of her support would be absolutely unprecedented.

In other words, making more money, developing more, and building more is itself an accumulation for these undertakings.

After a short period of refresher training, the retired Air Force pilot flew a large number of fighter planes equipped with external fuel tanks directly from the Kingdom of Surya to Ernesto.

On the waterway, large transport ships are pulling the compactly arranged semi-finished frames of Saint-Chamond and sailing through the waves.

The large anti-gravity transport airships with slower air speeds continuously transport finished homogeneous steel plates and artillery steel sets directly from the steel capital of the alliance.

The large transport plane flying to Ernesto was filled with various technical experts and professional equipment. They will find suitable geographical locations on Ernesto's land to build various factories.

A working copy of the alliance's industrial chain will be given to Ernesto, and there will even be a large number of political comrades who will bring mature administrative operation methods to Ernesto.

With the Civil Affairs Corps, an officer corps whose backbone is composed of retired soldiers who have received support from the alliance in the past, the combat effectiveness of Ernesto's troops will be significantly improved.

An ideal can be just a slogan or an idea, but its realization always requires a material foundation, and many unnecessary sacrifices can be completely avoided.

Only with better weapons and more professional teams can we more effectively enable more people with lofty ideals to live to see the light of day, rather than fall before dawn.

Late at night, Medea, who was already resting, sensed a familiar breath at the door of her bedroom, and then there was a gentle knock on the door.

I got out of bed barefoot and opened the door, and I could hear the noise coming from the manor.

Anna, who used to be very particular about etiquette, had her long hair dishevelled. She raised her head slightly to reveal a pair of red and swollen eyes, which were full of panic and fragility, like an abandoned puppy.

"Miss..."

Medea understood and stepped forward to hug Anna in her arms.

She sobbed softly, "I don't have a mother anymore."

Chapter 226 Conspiracy, Eavesdropping

Kingdom of Puerente

The King of Puelente, on behalf of Caskey, sat together with Prince Elio, who came on a secret visit from the Kingdom of Ixia, to drink tea and watch the dancers dancing in the audience with great pleasure.

The two of them sat together and discussed how to give Seris some good things to eat next.

"How sure is this plan?" Prince Elio mused.

"It is very feasible. Our country has already met with King Cabancia privately, and he has shown strong hostility towards the Seris Alliance."

When the alliance was mentioned, a hint of disgust flashed in Caskey's eyes.

The Seris Alliance has been giving these old kingdoms a hard time in recent years. The sharp decline in external trade has caused internal conflicts to grow, but they have never been able to be diverted.

The Kingdom of Puelente had also thought about causing trouble. Its original intention to rob the alliance's caravan was just a test attack.

But the alliance has developed too quickly, from treating each other as savages, to opponents, and now as deadly enemies.

By the time they really realized they needed to take each other seriously, it was already too late.

Not to mention the confrontation against the alliance, the confrontation between the capitalists and aristocrats born out of industrialization within their own ranks is enough to give them a headache.

In the early days, the aristocratic landowners could still reap the benefits of these new capitalist merchants, but capital will not die, it will only make a comeback in various forms.

These new capitalists were very smart. They never confronted the nobles head-on, as that would be like an egg hitting a stone.

But they knew very well how to shift the contradictions. They successfully provoked the confrontation between the people and the nobles through the fluctuations of wages and prices. The civilianization of firearms laid the groundwork for the unrest.

Especially after the continuous iteration of musket technology gradually reached the level of the Alliance's standard bolt-action rifle, the foundation of aristocratic rule was constantly shaken.

You know, the standard bolt-action rifle is also a watershed in industrial standards.

High-strength gun barrels and all-metal bullets represent that mass production of steel manufacturing, metal smelting, and mechanical processing have achieved phased breakthroughs.

These technologies can be used to develop weapons for different usage requirements, such as revolvers, Sten submachine guns, and shotguns. The manufacture of such weapons is no longer a problem.

If bloodline becomes an obstacle to equal status because of the existence of magic, then guns are the weight that can make the tilted balance fluctuate again.

Especially the revolver with a good firing rate and low price, and the shotgun with a short barrel that can kill the intermediate magician with one shot and injure the senior magician, their speeches are very powerful.

Various rebel forces, large and small, were running around in the mountains and forests, some with only a few people and some with hundreds. The ordinary soldiers of the territory were no match for these bandits who were good at sneak attacks.

They really couldn't stand it any longer, so the nobles began to negotiate with the capitalist groups. Both sides shifted the conflict to the outside world and worked together to reap the external benefits.

In order to achieve this goal, they face two major difficulties.

First, where to vent, where is the market?

Currently, due to the withdrawal of the alliance's transportation capacity, their industrial products can begin to be sold, but they estimate that it will be difficult for them to maintain this market for too long. If they want to continue to make profits, they have to face the alliance's merchant union organizations directly.

The Seris Alliance group of business unions was the most vicious corporate organization they had ever seen.

How vicious is it? To the point where it’s selling products at a loss!

Their products are usually sold at a very low price that no one can understand.

Then a large number of factories and shops in related industries were forced to go bankrupt and close down in batches. Only after they had seized the market did they begin to restore their original prices, and some were even higher than before.

Industries in other countries have almost no ability to resist this extremely despicable approach.

Relying on the powerful alliance behind them, other countries dare not impose punitive tariffs and can only subsidize some businesses through support policies.

However, these companies have very strong tolerance through internal resource replacement. They can maintain their products at a price close to their own for a long time and make profits from other aspects to fill the holes.

It is impossible for a country to fill the gap in an industry for a long time. In the end, some kingdom will give up and once it gives up, the market will be gone.

So although it was a bit embarrassing, they all had to admit that they would not be able to maintain this market gap under normal circumstances.

The second question is how the alliance should deal with it and how to make the other party have no time to deal with other things?

A good example is that the Six-Nation Alliance launched a war in a region thousands of miles away from the alliance, forcing the Seris Alliance to maintain a long supply line.

The almost eliminated Kingdom of Cabancia in the subcontinent also appeared in their eyes. First of all, because of the intentional or unintentional disaster relief of the alliance, all possibilities of the Kingdom of Cabancia were destroyed, and the Kingdom itself was a pure consumer market.

Secondly, there are a lot of grievances between the Kingdom of Cabancia and the Seris Alliance, and they can use the other party's hand to mess up the alliance's back garden.

As the Seris Alliance exports its influence, it seems to have forgotten that there is a country of a different form in its own subcontinent, which gives them room to maneuver.

They can use this opportunity to sell their weapons and products to the Kingdom of Cabancia, and at the same time create some difficulties for the previous [Alliance-Suriya Kingdom-Other Countries] trade chain.

After all, if a country fights two wars at the same time, then the attention paid to people's livelihood will definitely be reduced, and production will also be reduced.
