I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

The middle-level allies and brother countries act as specific workers in the system, manufacturing and processing goods.

The other countries at the bottom act as the source of goods that dump the market, and the bulk of the profits earned are shared by the alliance and the middle-level countries.

If this goal is to be achieved, many manufacturing industries will be relocated to other countries. In order to ensure that the situation in the previous life does not occur again, Medea will try to bring most of the relocated mid- to high-end manufacturing industries under the control of its own family through internal operations, and the rest will be distributed to other forces.

By then, even if the alliance really turns into a dragon, the Medea family, which controls the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry, will have the ability to clamp down on the alliance in turn.

Of course, if that doesn't happen, everything will be peaceful and everyone will do their own thing. No company will be subordinate to any other company, and the industrial chain will be scattered across various countries, with some in the east and some in the west. The alliance itself will not feel any threat.

Only in times of danger will these companies merge into a general representative, and only after integration can they truly pose a threat to the alliance.

In Medea's estimation, if she could do this, then it should be no problem to forcibly extend the period by another 180 years based on a century-long node.

After all, she is still thinking about her little piece of land. Even with such a good opportunity to express her thoughts, she is still thinking about interests. She is like a mean person who only cares about interests and is not popular at all.

Well, if we put aside the emotions she had when she was shouting slogans, rationally speaking, she is indeed not popular and doesn't have much feeling.

She is actually quite selfish, in this life and her past life.

So she handed the aid project over to Ernesto to implement, gave them fame, and let them take over the baton and move forward according to their ideals.

Once this round of aid plan for the mainland begins, Ernesto, as the main executor, will be loved by the people of the main continent, and their ideas will be integrated into the psychology of the people of the mainland.

Perhaps in the future the ideas may be suppressed and hidden, but as long as there is an opportunity, the prairie fire can be re-formed.

The first trump card that kicks off this ideological export drama is gender.

At the Sigloi Peace Summit, after the Allied war factions were cleared out and detained, representatives of the Alliance held the first world emergency conference in the capital of the Mantogor Empire.

This meeting was not a normal diplomatic meeting between countries. It was just a gathering of representatives from these countries to give them a rough framework for the follow-up procedures. The alliance said they would do it. It was that simple.

It is also possible not to do it, just like Ardashir was still clamoring to fight to the death, but the Alliance ignored him and directly excluded the Britian Empire from the meeting.

If others who have surrendered have any opinions, you can go and see the big crater of the small nuclear bomb a hundred kilometers away.

There was nothing special about the venue of this meeting, it was just that the royal palace of Mantogle was borrowed temporarily.

After seeing this group of statues and the explanation of the diplomats from the Seris Alliance, the high-ranking officials and nobles from other countries attending the conference turned green in the face.

What the hell is this going to be like in the future? This seems to be quite different from what they expected. How can they accept this?

In the eyes of landlords, nobles and priests, who is rich or poor, noble or humble is all the will of the benevolent emperor and the almighty God, and what the Seris Alliance did is to challenge and change the laws of God.

Isn't this just bullying them because they can't resist now?

Under the romantic and glamorous privileged system of the Kingdom Empire, the greatest effort a privileged woman could make in her life was to go against her parents' wishes and elope with a handsome young officer.

They, or rather those behind them, did not think about and would not imagine how those ordinary women who huddled in thatched huts or were even homeless were struggling to survive in the cruelty, pain and darkness every day, and all they had was a piece of black bread mixed with sawdust.

According to the Alliance's own experience and subsequent survey records, women can basically only engage in two careers in their lifetime: rural labor and selling prostitution.

When the Seris Alliance was founded, there were about 200 million women selling Y for a living across the country. This was based on the calculations of fixed venues that were liquidated. The number of random businesses was impossible to count.

Sadly, the quality of life of these sex workers is actually much better than that of their rural sisters, and they can be said to be a high-income group.

Before the alliance fully adopted measures to promote women's equality, the wages provided by rural landowners and hired farmers were five times the wages of women for the same amount of work. Women were once the most difficult and poorest group at that time.

And they are not the winners in the misery competition. In the religious code prevailing in the more medieval feudal Kingdom of Paria, child marriage and human trafficking are the kingdom's fine traditions. Women can be sold at will as property, but they are not allowed to show their faces when going out.

Husbands could kill their wives without veils at will, and priests supported this custom with religious scriptures. These tragedies had been happening in both lands for thousands of years before Seris came to power.

It was not until the establishment of the Seris Union that this interlocking chain was shattered. As one of the new policies after the establishment of the alliance, in addition to equality for all and equality between men and women, the alliance also gave female citizens of the alliance a groundbreaking power in this world, the right to vote.

As the name suggests, it is the power of ZZ participation, which is something they would never dare to think about in the past due to their low status. It is also a complete transformation from a tool to a person, which legalizes their sacred democratic power from a legal perspective.

With this power, the rights to education, politics, military service, and work are all protected by law. No one can deprive them of the economic rewards they get through learning, nor can they be treated differently.

When equal pay for equal work was first promoted, most women did not even believe they could learn to operate machines before they started working in the factories. They themselves believed that they had innate intellectual deficiencies compared to men.

For this reason, before officially starting work, they gathered together to discuss questions such as whether they could learn to operate machine tools.

This forced Medea to use all propaganda means to tell the people of the entire alliance that as long as you are a healthy human being, you can basically learn how to operate the machine tools normally.

There is no power without obligations. Labor is the only basis for women to obtain rights and interests, and it must be implemented no matter what women do when they go to work in factories.

There was even a case where a female college student trained by the Seris Federation went to teach in remote areas of the alliance and encouraged local women to fight for their own rights. A few days later, a horse-drawn carriage brought back her chopped body and sent it to the school. There was a sign on the carriage saying "This is the retribution for your pursuit of freedom as women."

In the first five years after the founding of the Union, thousands of women were beaten and killed every year simply for not wearing veils. This made Medea, who was nicknamed the Emperor of Mercy at the time, completely give up the idea of ​​taking his time.

For her, it is easiest to deal with the person who raises the problem. Wherever her fist of mercy hits, the area will achieve equal status on a physical level.

It was also in that year that women across the union completely took off their burqas and shackles, and announced to the world as their freedom: "Your worker grandmother is here!"

The importance of gender equality was further established in the Median Constitution promulgated by Seris later. At that time, the proportion of female representatives in the union regions exceeded 35%, and the national female voting rate exceeded 88%.

The women of the Alliance participate in the construction of the Alliance, a large lighthouse, as masters of the country. They can do what men can do, and they can die if men can die.

From nothing to something, it took Medea several decades of bumpy journey under her firm promotion to completely reverse most of the ugly phenomena. This was under the premise that her reputation grew along with the country and was unmatched.

I have said so much just to make one thing clear, that is, if the main continent wants to completely change in the future and seal off the privileged aristocracy, the power of women will be the most important weight on the scale.

Because in the feudal period, women were purely personal property and reproductive tools, and they did not enjoy many benefits brought to them by the system.

They are the group that is most determined to promote social change because they need space to live and are the group most suitable for unity.

The continent is too large. If the regions are simply redivided, it will have no impact at all on many old aristocratic landlords.

It is nothing more than exchanging resources with each other so that you can continue to be a rich man or even a local tyrant in the region.

The Alliance does not have the energy or means to extend its tentacles to every aspect of the main continent. This is unrealistic. Even in the highly developed previous lives, such problems in remote areas could not be completely eliminated.

The biggest point of conflict between the two sides is that the countries led by the alliance want to eliminate the soil for the existence of the privileged aristocracy, while the aristocracy does not want to lose their power.

The defeat in the world war was not a big deal to them. The destruction of the defeated families or even empires was different from the destruction of their circle.

But with the help of women's groups and subsequent revitalization plans, the alliance has the opportunity to get rid of them.

The reconstruction plan itself is a set of continuous aid and reconstruction plans, which will create a huge number of jobs, and most groups will be separated from their previous survival mode of dependence on landlords and nobles.

With the potential power released by the call for independence and equal rights, the alliance will be able to free itself from the potential difficulties of its weak foundation in the main continent and difficulty in clearing out the local powerful families, and transform itself into the light of women.

In addition, the country had just experienced a world war, and the male population was far less than the remaining female population. Relying on the leap of the female group and their entry into various industries and positions in the country, it was easy for the alliance to seamlessly integrate into all levels of each country.

The Alliance does not lack the ability to eliminate privileges at the physical level, but what it lacks is sufficient intelligence to distinguish between friend and foe.

However, just like the various difficulties that Medea had faced in promoting reforms in the alliance before, if this path is to be fully implemented, the number of comrades who will be sacrificed in the process will be incalculable.

But as the saying goes

"After we left,

They will build you schools and hospitals,

It will increase your wages.

This is not because they have a change of heart.

It's not because they became good people,

It’s because we’ve been here.”

When, in the not-too-distant future, women can dress as they please, discuss knowledge in the sun, swear an oath of justice as elected officials, train in the military, and discuss differential treatment, it will be because we have been here.

Chapter 337: No Step Back Allowed!

[The enemy has penetrated deep into our hinterland, destroying our cities and villages. They have looted and killed our people. If we do not stop retreating, we will have no food, no factories, no railways, and everything will be lost.]

[Children, it is time to stop retreating. We must defend every inch of our position and every inch of our territory until every last drop of blood is shed.]

【No step back allowed! 】

Ernesto Supreme Council, Order No.—227.

Ernesto in a collective farm in Vyatlitsk Oblast

In the continuously looping broadcast, a large group of girls gathered at the recruitment office, clamoring to join the army, and the recorder wrote down their names one by one with trembling fingers.

From the brutal trench warfare between dynasties, to the slave army uprising that liberated the entire state and achieved unification, to facing the invasion of the Allied Forces, and now the defense of Como, all of this is like an invisible black hole that continuously devours everything they have and drains their last bit of blood.

There are almost no men left in Vyatlitsk, no, the entire Ernesto is almost gone, but the bloody hole on the front line still needs a steady stream of people to fill it.

The motherland could no longer protect them, so Avisu completely lifted all restrictions on joining the army.

Looking at the girls lined up in front of him, the officer sighed, "There is nothing in the barracks. Little girls, some of you are not even as tall as your guns. Who forced you to be in my service?"

"There are no men or women on the battlefield. Do you understand what this means, little girls? When you fall into the hands of the enemy, the best outcome is death."

'We understand that there are no men or women, no little girls, only soldiers of the motherland!'

Katerina, wearing a baggy military uniform, looked up at the officer and said, "This is our country too! Our motherland needs us!"

For the first time, they were not fighting for the illusory tsar and gods, nor for the imperialism that enslaved them, but for a motherland that liberated them from oppression and gave them the same rights and freedom as men.

Once the motherland falls into the hands of the enemy, they will be reduced from masters of the country and glorious workers to slaves from whom they will never be able to rise again.

Only those who have regained their dignity and faith will know how precious it is and be willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

'boom...'

A series of artillery explosions woke Katerina from her sleep. She relaxed a little after feeling the cold and hard touch of the gun in her arms.

After simply tidying her hair, Katerina crawled out of the small house made of a torn blanket hidden in the ruins, and vigilantly raised her gun to observe the ruins in the city through the scope.

In the blink of an eye, she had spent half a month safely on the battlefield.

The ill-fitting pilling soldier's uniform, size 35 feet wearing size 43 shoes, the reality could not give her beauty, the war could not wait for her to grow up, and only left a bloody shadow.

They on the battlefield are like orange stalks in the field, which will fall down when the wind blows.

But Katerina can still find her own happiness in it, for example, the SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle wrapped in rags in her hand, which she can't let go and touches again and again.

SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle

The maximum range is 1300m, the bullet capacity is 10 rounds, it uses a 4x scope, and adopts 7.62㎜ special sniper bullet.

There is no problem in not using special sniper ammunition, as it can be used interchangeably with existing 7.62 rifle ammunition. However, the accuracy and power will be greatly affected, and the precise shooting distance will be reduced to about 600m.

Through professional design of the gun, sights and ammunition by the research and development unit, the three have perfectly matched performance. This special sniper rifle is developed based on the experience of traditional rifles. In layman's terms, it is similar to an enlarged version of the AK, retaining the durability of the AK family, with low maintenance costs and easy manufacturing difficulty.

With the breakthrough of optical aiming device technology, the cost of ordinary sniper lenses has been greatly reduced, and the general-purpose squad semi-automatic sniper rifle has been put on the research and development agenda.

In many cases, you don't actually need very professional snipers to complete the mission, and deploying a sniper team is a waste. The SVD replaces the previous bolt-action rifle as an extension of the team's precision firepower.

Of course, the division of roles applies to the alliance, and the alliance has no shortage of more advanced specialized weapons.

But after this weapon aid was given to Ernesto, Ernesto positioned it as a professional sniper weapon for street fighting. He selected a group of soldiers with excellent shooting accuracy and equipped them with SVD, and then let them drop into the sea and do everything they could to cause casualties to the coalition forces.
