I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

It is 5100 mm long, 2963 mm high, with a wheelbase span of 3022 mm. It has a longitudinal V8 engine, 495 horsepower and a 6-speed gearbox. The original weight of the car body is an exaggerated 4.5 tons, but after the anti-gravity blessing, it is roughly over 2 tons.

The weight of the vehicle is mainly reflected in the special steel shell, thick explosion-proof glass and self-defense weapons.

The 5-meter-long body is a five-seater car, and the interior space is sufficient for the back row to lie down and sleep comfortably.

However, this is the function of the executive version. The other guard-driven versions in the fleet have two seats, the driver and the front passenger, and the rear space is stuffed with other things. The name "Defender" is not just a nice name.

The convoy drove smoothly all the way to the interior of the Canon Industrial Park before stopping. The guard trotted to the vehicle in the center of the convoy, opened the door, and put his hand on the edge of the door.

The long legs wrapped in suit pants stepped on the newly paved cement road. The black-haired Medea got out of the car, turned around, bent down, and held the little Kate under her armpit and took her out:

"Shelia, take good care of your sister."

"Ah this..."

Shirleya, who had just jumped out of the car, looked at Queen Kate, who was folding her arms and trying to raise her head to stare at her. Shirleya subconsciously checked her fingers and her calves trembled a little.

She was completely numb after Medea said this. Doesn't Kate really prove that she is taking care of her sister? She is the queen!

Never mind. That seems disrespectful to the Queen. She feels it is too difficult. Oh, even though she is still slacking off at the Saint level due to her laziness, this is not a capital crime, right?

"Why are you glaring at me? If you don't want to be put in a sack on the street, behave yourself."

"Let me see who dares to cheat me!!!"

Medea went back and picked Kate up.

Although the probability of being put into a sack is close to zero, after all, the number of guards for the two of them combined is at least 80, but one cannot let down one's sensitivity to potential dangers just because there are guards all year round.

After all, protection from outsiders is not as reassuring as your own judgment.

Grodno Oblast is a heavy industrial manufacturing center designated by the alliance for its allies, so it is natural for Media to have a hand in it.

Grodno Oblast has an excellent location, located in the center of three main waterways, with Cherno, once the largest inland port of the Holy See, in front.

The nearest state to it is Mgryn, the former capital of the Surya Kingdom, and behind it is a group of fortresses headed by the former Dmitri Bokorezh Fortress.

Once it develops, the cost of exporting industrial manufacturing in peacetime will be low, making it suitable for the development of heavy manufacturing.

In wartime, it is a stable super industrial cluster guarded from all sides, with good conditions for transporting materials to the outside world and convenient river and sea waterways for receiving resources from the alliance.

Moreover, its ownership is relatively clear. After the fall of the Demetria Church, it was liberated by the Alliance and later handed over to Surya for management. It is very easy for the Alliance to control it.

Yes, control.

Of course, on the surface it is definitely the decision of the local state’s own people.

But no one really thinks that supporting a heavy industry is a free gift, right? This is more like selling out the country than sending technology abroad during the Tang Dynasty.

If it is ordinary technology that can be supported unconditionally, an industrial state that is positioned as a mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry cluster will inevitably provide matching bundling strength of the same level as its technological strength increases.

However, it seemed inappropriate for any company to control this thing. Finally, Medea revealed his identity to the Alliance Center through Anna's channel and successfully took over the deal.

As the largest investor, the Central Bank of the Union endorses whatever Media does when necessary and provides unlimited financial support, but it requires a 49% stake.

Of course, whether or not to use the money depends on Medea's mood. She herself is rich enough to rival a country, and she herself doesn't even know how much money she has deposited in the Federal Reserve.

The Guard was trial-produced at a newly established manufacturing plant in Grodno Oblast.

Mitia walked slowly in the industrial park holding Kate. There were no scars of war that could be vaguely seen in the outside world. It had become an independent industrial kingdom.

A solid composite cement road surface, a well-connected rail network, an extremely large area, an airship berthing port with neatly arranged elevated facilities, and several steel mills not far away that are emitting billowing black smoke.

From time to time, slogans can be heard in the various subcontracting factories, which are the training of new employees.

This industrial park brings together most of the industrial chains, and will then carry out coverage, distribution and subcontracting based on the state. The industrial chains within the state will be integrated into finished products and then shipped to all parts of the world.

They took the shuttle bus in the park and soon arrived at the Guardian Manufacturing Center.

Although this is a new factory, everything here comes from the Alliance, including technical assistance provided by the Alliance Academy of Sciences, retired craftsmen and technical experts from major military factories, as well as a large number of advanced industrial equipment, machine tools and skilled workers, forming a complete team of local elites from the Alliance.

Building a Defender can only be considered as a training exercise, but vehicles of this level can only be produced slowly in small batches, and precision parts such as engines have to be imported from the alliance.

The later factories will not be so extravagant, but will focus on producing early models.

The mainstream vehicle in the mainland is actually the Model T...

This is the alliance's technical assistance to two friendly allied countries. What would be better is not not giving it, but that even if it is given, they would not be able to produce it.

In comparison, although the Model T was not very good in every aspect, its simple design also made it easier for them to gain practical proficiency in the production of cars.

To be honest, when compared together, the Defender and the Model T are products of completely different eras (in fact, they are more than one era apart), but the Model T is cheap and durable!

From the beginning of the war to the completion of technology transfer, it was initially estimated after the war that the three countries' combined production of Model T vehicles was nearly 300 million. Surya has no shortage of oil, the Alliance has no shortage of production capacity, and Ernesto has no shortage of people. This number was derived from the combination of these factors.

In fact, there could be more, but the main products produced later were various auto parts. If converted into complete vehicles, the total production of Model T cars was roughly around 400 million.

To this day, the Model T is still the main commuter vehicle within the two countries' armies, while the Alliance has always used all-terrain vehicles and armored jeeps without any modifications.

The Defender is actually one of the alliance's bidding proposals for the next generation of dual-use military and civilian off-road vehicles.

The biggest advantage of dual-use military and civilian products is that the production lines are similar, and large-scale mass production can reduce manufacturing costs to the greatest extent, which is very friendly to the military's procurement budget limit.

However, there is no sign of this happening yet. Currently, Mediah has only asked the factory to manufacture a batch of prototypes and deliver them to the alliance officials for data testing, and has produced an extra batch for its own use.

Of course, the purpose of coming here is not only to see the production process of the Guards, but more importantly, she wants to meet Bratt here.

According to intelligence data from within the alliance, after the war, Demetria will become at least four independent countries, and the country assigned to Grodno Oblast will undoubtedly be one of the major powers on the main continent.

It must naturally be the Alliance's staunchest ally.

The intervention of Media is equivalent to giving the alliance a reassurance. The model of cross-holding by both parties will spread to all aspects of the Grodno Oblast in the future and complete its economic ties.

However, Surya's feelings still need to be taken into consideration, after all, if the Grodno Oblast is separated into independence.

As the Grodno Oblast grows stronger, it is hard to say whether the Surya people who previously occupied it will have any complaints.

The post-war recovery of the Surya Kingdom should be the fastest because they have money, but in the alliance's positioning, this country can only have money and cannot have a very strong industrial manufacturing level.

We will just sell you whatever you want. You don't have to spend a lot of effort on research and development yourself. Research and development is so laborious, don't you think?

Suriya's troubles are actually quite big, because the alliance will basically eliminate the previous feudal system, and Suriya's royal family still has real power, so there are some conflicts with the alliance's ideas.

Moreover, Surya's territory could not continue to expand, and the occupied territories of the Holy See of Demeter would have to be spit back later.

Not only Surya, Ernesto and the Alliance will also withdraw all the territories occupied by the Allies, reduce their forces to the pre-war level, and eliminate the hostility of the Allied people towards the Alliance to the greatest extent.

And because of this retreat and return of the occupied land, the biggest irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides naturally disappeared, and the remaining reactionary old forces did not have much of a good excuse.

National Salvation Organization? National Restoration Alliance?

Are you crazy? You have returned the land to us. What kind of country are you trying to restore? Do you want us to go back to the days when we were ruled by nobles just now that we are free? Just try it!

For the Alliance, the advantages of returning the land far outweigh the disadvantages. The more land is not necessarily better, especially when the total population of the Alliance is less than 36 million. The Alliance itself has about 50% of its land that is undeveloped and about % that is incompletely developed. What is the point of occupying so much land on the main continent?

At most, one or two "unavoidable" enclaves will be left.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that after giving up the land, you will completely lose connection with the alliance.

The newly-born small and medium-sized countries have been deprived of their right to declare war, and the small countries separated from the main body of the defeated country will not have much military power and will be fully restricted by the three countries headed by the alliance.

To fill the gap in the military, the three countries of the alliance would carve out several areas in each of the new countries to establish military bases. They would send legions to be stationed there to ensure national security, and these countries would be responsible for their support.

Mitia walked and stopped to look around, and Blatter's motorcade also arrived at the factory.

After getting off the car, he hurriedly pulled the guide towards Medea. When he saw Medea, his face suddenly broke out with unprecedented joy.

But when he saw the little girl in Medea's arms, his lips couldn't help but tremble: "My queen..."

That's impossible? It's only been a short time since she disappeared and the child has grown so big... Could it be that she disappeared in the first place just to give birth to a baby?

That's not right, is this child too old? Or is the Queen gifted, and the child she gave birth to is also gifted? He looks older but is actually only one year old?

Medea looked at Bratt, whose facial expressions were in a mess, and nodded, "Long time no see."

Chapter 345 Beetle

Bratt and Medea are old friends. Medea grew up under their eyes, cough cough... grew up under their eyes. The two have a good personal relationship, which is why Anna, on behalf of the alliance, asked her if she could handle the matter.

"Personally, you can sit on this throne until you no longer want to sit on it. Even your sons can be tolerated by the public because of you. Because of this war, you have preserved the most basic human dignity for them."

"But gratitude cannot last forever. It will disappear with the passing of two generations. What will we do then?"

"Let's establish a constitutional monarchy. The royal family can be retained. Take this opportunity to exchange power for money. As long as the country exists, your family will survive for a thousand years without any problems. And now your prestige is enough to suppress all opposition and dissatisfaction during the reform."

"Believe me, any monarch would envy you this opportunity. Being able to complete the overall transformation in one generation, not every emperor can do whatever he wants."

'Everything is done as you wish!'

In fact, Mitia himself had also considered the problem he mentioned. As a senior...senior admirer of the Queen, and also the first dignitary to see the large industrial clusters of the Alliance, he had made many all-round observations of the Alliance.

Putting aside the issue of class and looking at the problem rationally, he had to admit that apart from the magical bloodline determined by their talents, ordinary people could be creative in ways that magicians could hardly match as long as they were given enough support in other aspects.

Just as the Queen had said, when magicians separated themselves from ordinary people and became one, they had actually lost the chance to control the world, especially when coupled with the church's ignorant education.

When the alliance decentralizes the right to education from the elite to the common people and from men to women and then to the young step by step, such differences in foundation will be rapidly eliminated over time.

As education becomes more popular and people's wisdom is awakened, the impact on the system of Blatter's kingdom will only become stronger and stronger.

Even if Surya's previous aristocrats were not all merchants with very flexible bottom lines and no aristocratic superiority, they would have been overthrown by the lower classes influenced by the alliance eight hundred years ago.

But even so, the pressure he faced was not small. If it weren't for this sudden war, he would have wanted to find the Queen to give him some advice.

As for Bratt's personal life experience, he has never suffered any loss since he stood with the Queen. He trusts her more than Medea herself.

Medea certainly didn't cheat him. Although giving up power would be a loss in the short term, such a loss would be nothing after the alliance completed the closed loop of its global structure.

Who dares to touch Blatter's family while the alliance is still there?

With the biggest protective umbrella supporting them from behind, delegating power, moving the family behind the scenes, controlling some of the economic benefits and lying low would be a good way for the family to survive.

In this way, Blatter would not have to worry about his descendants committing suicide or having major political disagreements with the alliance, which would bring disaster to the family.

Institutional advantages and institutional worship will affect other countries as a country becomes stronger. The Alliance has undoubtedly met this requirement and is also working hard to shape this influence.

While everyone was still discussing the specific division of the post-war world at the negotiating table, the book printing plants and bookstores of the Shell Publishing Group under Medea had already begun the stage of selecting locations in various countries.

The alliance also provides the company with political protection in various countries.

Everyone knows the specific reason, because Media's agent submitted a plan to the official propaganda department of the Alliance that they could not refuse, namely the [Book Promotion Offensive] plan.

“Although we cannot influence everyone, the books we publish will influence opinion leaders in all the areas where we promote them, and they will help us promote the values ​​we need.”

Books are the most enduring of all propaganda tools, and this is something the Alliance must recognize. To this end, they require the Alliance to establish the Alliance International Book Association and work at full capacity to print and distribute carefully selected Alliance books.
