After the construction of the super-large underground railway network in the North Territory begins, the construction of the giant railway network in the underground world of the Golden Eagle Empire will also follow. The infrastructure construction of the Golden Eagle Empire is still constantly improving.

At the same time, with the increase in food and livestock production, and the improvement of people's living conditions, the population of the Golden Eagle Empire is also growing at a very fast rate. And even faster than the population of the Golden Eagle Empire is the population of the cities in the Golden Eagle Empire, which is growing explosively.

Although the countryside of the empire is changing for the better, if compared with the past days, rural life now seems like a dream.

But compared to cities that have undergone steampunk postmodern transformation, life in the countryside seems too dull.

The Golden Eagle Empire is building super-large cities. These cities are not like the old consumption-type cities that pile up and store materials, fortresses, or simple handicraft bases. Instead, they are cities with increasingly powerful productivity under the upgraded and strengthened industrialization.

These industrial cities handle an endless supply of materials, producing a vast array of equipment and manufactured goods, textiles and metal products.

While creating huge wealth, the Golden Eagle Empire also attaches great importance to urban construction, environmental pollution control and protection, and the quality of life of citizens.

Because of the extensive use of puppets, magic equipment, and slave orcs, the Golden Eagle Empire can provide workers with a relatively decent living environment and relatively decent welfare benefits.

If these benefits were put in the 21st century, they would definitely be criticized as abuse. But in this era, with a 10-hour workday, you can earn 5 or even 10 times more than in the countryside. More importantly, life in the city is much more pleasant than in the quiet countryside.

There was little entertainment in the countryside—although His Majesty the Prince had been thoughtful enough to organize visits by opera and bards to the countryside, presenting plays and poems about the exploits of the Prince, the Crusades, and the Society of Order.

At times like this, the farmers in the countryside are as happy as if it were New Year’s Day.

The royal tenants and self-employed farmers naturally have infinite admiration for Prince Aslan, who has guaranteed their survival and given them various preferential policies. They would shout, "Your Highness, we love you!"

However, the boring country life is still far inferior to the city.

There are public parks, portraits and sculptures of various artists, as well as the latest operas and dramas. More importantly, there are loudspeakers throughout the city.

When people found out that the machine could talk, they couldn't help but feel surprised. Many people swore that there must be a fairy living inside those radio speakers.

And when night falls, the street lights throughout the city will illuminate the entire city like daytime.

A wide variety of goods, magnificent buildings, skyscrapers, temples and palaces, art museums... everything can make the residents of the city have a strong sense of happiness and superiority.

Under such circumstances, the urban population of the Golden Eagle Empire has gradually increased from 1% or even less to 15%, and is still increasing.

People were even willing to give up their status as self-employed farmers and royal tenants in order to join in the grand and splendid city life.

Although the Golden Eagle Empire does not have unemployment benefits or pension insurance nowadays, people do not care too much about such things in such a vibrant era.

It seems that everyone now has a chance, everyone has the potential to make a fortune and soar to the sky. Especially in the Beast Tide Wasteland

The American Dream and the like, in fact, can only be realized by a few people. But the Golden Eagle Dream is different. Under the control of a powerful government, people can be forced to join the official immigration and development group even when they are helpless, and go to the beast tide wasteland in the far east to open up land.

In fact, although the Golden Eagle Empire did not fight regular wars, it was engaged in irregular small-scale wars almost every day, that is, with the successors of the various orc chieftains in the Eastern Beast Tide Wasteland.

Unfortunately, although they boasted that they were very powerful, none of them could fight so far.

Small-scale orc troop guerrillas would be easily defeated by the armed immigrants of the Golden Eagle Empire. The various outdated flintlock rifles produced by the Golden Eagle Empire before this, coupled with the wooden bastions built, could easily deal with ten, twenty or even more orc, goblin and jackal troops.

Small-scale battles like this happened almost every day until the orcs in the wasteland were finally frightened by the armed immigrants of the Golden Eagle Empire and began to avoid the pioneers of the Golden Eagle Empire. Only then did the matter come to an end.

Because the pioneering group of the Golden Eagle Empire has not yet reached the endless wilderness where the centaurs live, they have not yet fought against the powerful centaur cavalry and the harpies flying in the air. It is unknown whether the Crusaders' latest centaur puppet maids and eagle-winged puppet maids are stronger than their prototypes.

Chapter 18 The Empire's Formula

In the second half of 1008, driven by an endless pursuit of money, wealth, and territory, the human nations on the surface launched a series of attacks on the dark elven city-states in the Underdark.

At this time, they actually remembered Aslanism again and began to promote themselves as great humanists, hoping to get some loans or surplus arms from the Golden Eagle Empire for their expeditionary force.

After a little thought, Aslan decided to agree to the proposal of these guys. On the one hand, Aslanism is the basic ideology of the empire. On the other hand, if these things succeed, it can indeed enhance the overall strength of mankind. On the third hand, he is not afraid that these guys will default on their debts. Or it would be better if they default on their debts. It would give Aslan a reason to beat them up and then annex all the territory.

It's just a pity that despite receiving loans and surplus materials from the Golden Eagle Empire and carrying out a series of crusade-style military reforms, everyone felt that they had become stronger. But in fact, all this was just an illusion.

The Crusaders' most powerful artillery firepower was not particularly useful in the Underdark. The most important invention that enabled the Crusaders to defeat the Dark Elves in the Underdark was the powerful spider-chassis puppet maids. The combat power of these spider-chassis puppet maids was so strong that the Dark Elves on the opposite side continued to fail in the dark and narrow tunnel battles that they were best at.

All of this is not available in other countries.

Of course, if that was all, then these human countries would still be able to gain some trophies and territories. But at the same time, the Jade Empire still took action.

On the one hand, it was because the Jade Empire did not want other human countries to become stronger. On the other hand, it was because the Jade Empire wanted to wash away the shame.

Previously, the Empire aided the Dark Elves of the Underdark in the North. As a result, the Dark Elves of the North were beaten to a pulp by the army of Aslan. This also caused the reputation of the Jade Empire to decline a lot. Everyone felt that this Empire was lame.

He boasted about how powerful he was, but the troops he trained were defeated by the Crusaders. What future is there in following such a boss? Let's just lick Prince Aslan's boots. Becoming a subject of the Golden Eagle Empire has great benefits.

Aslan raised his prestige with an indisputable victory, and caused the hearts of many ethnic minorities in the originally stable Jade Empire to become unsettled.

Who wants to be a servant if they can be the master? Even though the Jade Empire implemented a relatively equal ethnic policy, the other human races that were ruled and faced the fate of being assimilated and turned into half-elves still felt a thorn in their hearts.

If the Jade Empire had always maintained its glorious image of being powerful and invincible, then this thorn would have been ignored.

But now the Jade Empire has not only failed, but also failed miserably. Then... whether it is the Oghuz people or the Saracens, everyone has to think about whether they will continue to work under the Dark Elf Queen in the future.

After all, you see, the most important reason why we follow you is not how good you are to us, but that you are strong enough, so following you will give us meat, right? But now your strength doesn't seem to be that strong. So... is that right?

Therefore, the Jade Empire now desperately needs more victories, preferably against Aslan and the Golden Eagle Empire, to stabilize the unrest within the empire.

It's just a pity that Olivia doesn't think it's possible.

If she could win, she would certainly do it without hesitation, but the problem is that she can't win.

If A goes and then loses, wouldn't he lose even more authority?

So Olivia didn't dare to gamble.

However, instead of going to war with Aslan, they still have the courage to go to war with other countries, and it is very strong.

Just like the people of Corlia have been in a very delicate state recently. That is, Olivia is going to wage war against them.

But even though she had started a war, Olivia did not intend to annex the entire Corlia as originally planned. Instead, she planned to keep Corlia as a buffer zone between herself and the Golden Eagle Empire.

As long as Kollia still exists, it will be very troublesome for the Golden Eagle Empire to bypass Kollia and launch an attack directly on itself. Moreover, I have destroyed Kollia's roads, farmlands and other things, causing Kollia to fall into chaos. The Golden Eagle Empire will also be very troubled by this. I am really too smart.

In the Beast Tide Wasteland in the east, the Golden Eagle Empire was also harassed by the dark elves of the Jade Empire. The dark elves didn't have the courage to confront them head-on, but they still had the courage to harass them. And they were very brave. If the Crusaders used elite puppet maids for reconnaissance and mobile patrols, then of course there would be no problem. But if there were only armed civilians, then the harassment of the dark elves would easily produce results. It would be a headache.

So now, it is finally the Underdark's turn again.

Although they don't have the courage to confront head-on, the Jade Empire can invent some formulas.

It is known that other human empires have accepted the support of the Crusaders. Other dark elves have accepted the support of the Jade Empire. Other human empires have suffered disastrous defeats when attacking other dark elves. Doesn't this prove that our Jade Empire is better than the Crusaders Golden Eagle Empire?

Although anyone with a little military knowledge knows that this kind of thing can't be calculated in this way. But it is obvious that there are more people in this world who not only have no military knowledge, but also can't read. Their logic is also very simple, with a very simple beauty. So they really dare to believe what the Jade Empire promotes.

This made Aslan feel very unhappy.

Yes, for now he doesn't want to break up with Olivia or start a full-scale war.

Even though the population under his rule was increasing, and the level of the people under his rule was getting higher and higher, the destiny points were flowing to Aslan like water, allowing Aslan to forcefully cross the threshold of high-level legends in a minute, marching forward on the road to becoming a near-god, beating all the losers into slag, and defeating the whole fucking world with his own strength!

But at least for now, Aslan still needs to calm down and wait for a better opportunity.

But the premise is that Olivia, that bastard, can't go too far. If this guy goes too far, then Aslan will have to reluctantly put aside the second five-year plan and build the strongest army in the universe to blast her to pieces!

Chapter 19: There is a shortage of manpower everywhere

That's how it was. The attack of the Underdark by the various countries on the surface ended in failure. Not only was the situation a mess, but the dark elves even took the opportunity to waaagh out of the Underdark and attacked the surface. Although other countries that upgraded to the tactical capabilities of the first generation of Crusaders were able to win in a head-on battle, the dark elves harassed them in the form of scattered soldiers, which also troubled other countries.

Against this backdrop, the Golden Eagle Empire's army continued to advance rapidly in the Underdark. The Golden Eagle Empire's Underdark Crusade was a great success, with large numbers of dark elves either being killed by Tutu or transformed into Tengu.

This is a bit embarrassing.

If we were all on the same level, it would be fine. But now Aslan is so dio, you guys are usually just a bunch of people, and you always talk about forming a siege against the Golden Eagle and then killing Aslan. But when you really start fighting, it's really fucking terrible.

Is there really a future for people like you who are such a low-class person? Otherwise, everyone should just surrender to Emperor Aslan. At least you can get a relatively high position in front of the emperor. In this way, even if you don't bring honor to your family, at least you can give an explanation to your family and declare that you are not just a lazy person. That's all.

It was also in the second half of 08 that the prestige of the Golden Eagle Empire increased significantly again. At the same time, a large number of people who were optimistic about the future of the Golden Eagle Empire began to find channels to provide various intelligence to the Golden Eagle Empire, and promised to change their flags as quickly as possible and become the guide party when the Golden Eagle Empire attacked in the future.

Of course, at the same time, Aslan also made it clear to them that even if they cooperated happily, they would not be able to keep their territory in the end, but they could keep their wealth in addition to the land. They could also continue to retain their noble titles. Those who made meritorious contributions could be transformed into pension nobles or even become members of parliament.

In this way, although it was equivalent to blocking many nobles who had illusions from entering the country, and making them determined to fight the Golden Eagle Empire to the end and preserve the land passed down by their ancestors, it also raised the reputation of the Golden Eagle Empire to a higher level.

Even those nobles who ultimately refused to cooperate with the Golden Eagle Empire had to admit this.

Aslan could have deceived them, squeezed out all their usefulness, and then went back on his word happily, or pretended to accept the conditions and then found another way to kill them all. But Aslan did not do so.

"He may be a bastard, but he's a bastard with good reputation. Why can't he accept the honor and tradition of the nobility?"

Everyone feels helpless thinking this way. But there is no special meaning in thinking this way. 08 has passed, and 09 is coming to this world.

Aslan's second five-year plan was fully launched in 09. Newer machines, even powerful machines for combat, were tried out. More roads and railways were laid, and larger permanent magic portals, which were more expensive but faster, were also built across the empire.

Thanks to the efforts of Durin and others, the empire has made great progress in energy and materials science. Thanks to the efforts of the dwarves, elves and puppet maids, the empire's basic subjects, mathematics, physics and chemistry have also begun to advance at a rapid pace.

At the beginning, Aslan was able to rely on some knowledge from his previous life to keep up with the progress, but he soon fell behind, which made Aslan feel a little regretful.

It seems that my greatest contribution to science in the future will be at the level of a living Nobel Prize.

After all, the most outstanding ones in scientific research today are still his puppet maids, and those super powerful puppet maid leaders are able to do the work of two people at once.

……

In addition to the rapid advancement in transportation and the military, the empire is also making further efforts in industry and agriculture.

One of the important goals of the second five-year plan is to form a common market for the human world. The Empire is preparing to open up the entire trade chain of the human world and completely bind the human world economically.

After that, there was the crazy development of the beast wasteland in the east.

As the Empire's development of the Beast Tide Wasteland went smoothly, the Empire's population became increasingly insufficient. In particular, in order to prevent the Dark Elves from resurrecting, after the Dark Elves were migrated out of the underground world, the Underdark needed immigrants again.

These immigrants can be provided by the docile cave dwellers and the lead-gray dwarves who worship power. In fact, the metal dragons, whose cooperation with the Golden Eagle Empire has been upgraded in recent times, can also provide a part.

For example, in recent times, the worship of Aslan has become more and more intense, and it has even evolved to the point where there are golden-scaled dog-headed people who offer sacrifices to Aslan and worship him as a god. They are also a very good slave race in the Underdark.

But in the end, Aslan still hopes to maintain a certain human population in the underground world.

In this case, the population of the Golden Eagle Empire alone is really not enough. Not to mention, the urbanization of the Golden Eagle Empire and the large-scale infrastructure construction provide a large number of jobs, which makes the population shortage of the Golden Eagle Empire even greater.

And besides this, a new situation emerged - the Old World.

The old continent was once destroyed by the ancient elves, but only thousands of years later has its ecology been restored and it is now possible to re-populate it.

Before that, the Lotharingians and Lensenauers relied on their geographical proximity to colonize the Old World happily.

It is precisely because of this that Lunseno became the most powerful among the human countries in the New World, and once crushed the Golden Eagle Empire.

Aslan was quite envious of this, so when he was developing the North, he seduced a pirate queen, a black-haired girl named Tani, and asked her to develop in the New World.

Gold will shine wherever it is. Tani has been doing quite well in recent times.

Aslan became the prince of the Golden Eagle Empire. The five-year plan made the Golden Eagle Empire the most powerful country in the world, and even the only one. With the help of a large number of mermaid puppet maids sent by the empire, the Pirate Queen established a foothold in the Misty Islands of the Old World, formed a powerful pirate fleet, and opened up many colonies.

Now that we have a territory, we need someone to develop it. So recently this guy also wrote to Aslan, hoping to get Aslan's help.

Chapter 20: More Population Needed

"Yes, yes, the land is fertile, the houses are well-built, and the products are abundant. The local natives, who have fallen to the same level as the orcs and goblins, are called 'fallen elves' and their fighting power is also great. So we only need to send a few regular troops to occupy a large area of ​​land.

The area of ​​these lands may even be ten, twenty or even more times that of the Golden Eagle Empire.

As for the old colonists, whether it was Lunsenor or Lotharingia, or the homecoming group formed by the moon elves, they did not have particularly strong combat power and could be easily crushed in minutes.

So now the only question is, Your Majesty, my master, when will you send enough pioneers here.

The hot, humid climate of the Misty Islands is perfect for growing cash crops. Sugar cane, spices, cocoa and coffee, and of course cotton, very high quality cotton, all are profitable. Yours faithfully, Tani Baffolo. "

……

After reading the letter, Aslan felt a little weird, as if he once again thought of that unruly, wolf-like woman.

Although he would occasionally open a portal to go there and beat her up, after his career in the Golden Eagle Empire got on track, Aslan didn't care much about what was going on there.

Yes, that's right, the Old World is huge and has great potential for development. The problem is that the Beast Tide Wasteland in the East is the same.

The Beast Tide Wasteland in the East is linked to the Golden Eagle Empire and the Northern Territory, making management a little easier.

As for the Old Continent, it would take several months to cross the Sea of ​​Souls and the Endless Ocean to reach there, even with the fastest warship - this involves a lot of professional magical knowledge, so even technological advances cannot solve the problem immediately.

So with this calculation, investing in the Old Continent is not as good as investing in the Beast Tide Wasteland which is right at our doorstep.

If Aslan can unify and integrate the entire human world, then the return on investment in the Old Continent will definitely increase.

Because Lunsenor is located in the westernmost part of the New World, the route to the Old World is half the distance compared to sailing from the Northern Territory or the Golden Eagle Empire, and it only takes about a month to arrive. When technology continues to advance, it may only take a dozen days or even shorter.

Only then will the empire be able to develop there easily.

So now, Aslan originally intended not to deal with the Pirate Queen's letter. At most, he would send a group of skilled workers and puppet maids there to enable them to have better shipbuilding technology, and that would be all right.

If Tani has any dissatisfaction, then Aslan will work harder and go there to beat her up. In this way, Tani will probably no longer have any complaints and will be happy.

However, Aslan, who originally thought this way, thought of another thing. That is, tropical cash crops.

Yes, as I said before, the cold areas of the Golden Eagle Empire are not very suitable for farming, let alone many tropical cash crops.

Let's not talk about coffee, cocoa, sugar, etc., which are considered luxuries. But the various herbs there, as well as the rubber resources there, are necessary for further development.

In addition to these, there are various magical resources that did not originally exist on Earth.

All of these are indeed things that the Golden Eagle Empire cannot produce on its own.
