One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Final Peace

"Hurry up! Put these things on the second platform! The materials in the back are going to Gricken! Don't delay!" A dispatcher stood on the platform full of goods and looked at the opposite two. Platform No. reminded loudly.

Around, some workers are working intensely. They have come all the way from Ireland Hill to work here and receive more business trip bonuses.

The labor law of Ireland Hill stipulates that all workers with Irish nationality must have corresponding subsidies and bonuses for overtime work on business trips, which is why there are more and more workers in Ireland Hill.

The more you earn, the more respected you will naturally be. Everyone is willing to take a decent job, and the worker is now one of the more decent regular jobs in Ireland.

As long as you can be an apprentice, you will have the opportunity to pass the assessment and review, and finally use the knowledge magic ball to be promoted to an engineer. Then there will be allowances for engineer jobs, and children can get better education.

Of course, I heard that there are also idiots who are dissatisfied. After being promoted to engineers, they stole the technical data of the Alan Hill Empire, and some are sold and given to other countries, but most of these people have no good end.

I heard that the most typical one is called Shrek, who was sentenced to death, and the whole family was exiled to the steppe empire where the conditions were harsh and there was no technical work to do hard labor...

But it has to be said that any idea of ​​holding on to its leading technology cannot be based on technology blockade. Standing still will only stop oneself from progressing, and only continuous innovation and development is the best way to stay ahead.

No matter what channel the technology is obtained from, there are some industrial shadows of Ailan Hill in many places recently. Many magical empires have begun to mass-produce various weapons, and some can even manufacture machinery.

After buying power generation equipment, these countries began to copy them on a large scale, building power plants to use electricity, and developing their own industrial base with Ireland Hill's obsolete technology - the world is also progressing, especially when these countries have bad intentions. when.

Recently, the Magic Empire also has its own powered vehicle, which is a vehicle powered by burning magic spar energy. They're not comfortable, more like an early classic car. But many technologies are borrowed from Ireland Hill, including the shock-absorbing structure, and the rubber tires.

In short, consciously or not, Alan Hill's technology is proliferating. Many businessmen are sparing no effort to promote the civilian technology of Ireland Hill, and these civilian technologies are also improving the military production capacity of the surrounding areas in some aspects.

Of course, this is also beneficial. For example, on both sides of the railway that traverses the Holy Demon Empire, there are many villages, towns and cities that have started their own industrialization.

After all, importing products from Ireland Hill requires foreign exchange, and exporting some products to fill some trade deficits is also an inevitable choice for a country.

Because of this, in order to save costs, Ailan Hill handed over materials such as tent shoes and socks, soap towels, toothbrush gloves, and even armed helmets to the Holy Devil Empire for production. It's cheaper to make them here and ship them to Grecon anyway.

Therefore, the towns of the Holy Devil Empire on both sides of the railway became prosperous and lively. Although the pollution caused by burning coal was annoying to the aborigines of the Holy Devil Empire, the real money and silver subsidies of the Holy Devil Empire in exchange also allowed them to improve their own. living condition.

"Load those things into the carriage! Don't be too careful! Those are all bandages! Don't be afraid of bumps!" The dispatcher on the platform recorded the materials just loaded with a record book, and then shouted loudly to the distance road.

The platform he was in charge of was the busiest one nearby. There's always a lot of stuff being transported here, and then other stuff, going to Gricken. The materials unloaded here are exported to the Holy Demon Empire, loaded here and transported to Greken, and exported to Alan Hill by the Holy Demon Empire.

As for the magic materials and precious metals such as gold and silver brought back from Greken, they will be sent directly to Velonsa through here for the magicians over there to improve themselves.

Fighting is nothing more than making money. Although Ailan Hill did not make much money in this war, it was not lost.

At least Greken will provide a large amount of precious metals and magic materials in return for Alan Hill's coming forward at a critical moment.

"Yo! John is in charge! You are here." An old man from the Holy Demon Empire wearing a simple robe walked over with a smile on his face, greeting him very attentively.

The two people have been familiar with each other for a long time and can no longer be familiar with each other. This old man is an elder in a nearby town, similar to the mayor. There are two factories in his town that produce shoes and socks, and he has obtained the qualification to produce military supplies, so he often comes to this small station to deliver his own goods, and he is familiar with everyone on and off the train station.

The steward who asked John to put away the notebook, put it under his arm, and greeted the international friends in front of him with a smile.

In John's view, the people here are no different from those in his hometown. All the same life, all the same ordinary. Except for the occasional hearing of a few more magicians among them, everything else is almost the same.

In the earliest days, these locals looked down on the foreign railroad workers in Ireland Hill. But with the passage of time, there is not much estrangement between everyone in the trade exchanges. Many mortals working in the railway station have visited the nearby towns as guests, and many young people in the nearby towns have come to the railway station to find various jobs.

"This batch of goods has passed the quality inspection! Be careful when transporting it! The best skins, nourishing feet and perspiration are all the animal skins from the north! The quality is good!" The old man babbled. , instructing John to take care of his products.

John took a pair of beautiful and sturdy leather shoes from the other party's hand, and replied with a smile on his face: "You are too polite, old man. When did I not find a good carriage for you?"

The old man smiled even more, nodded and thanked: "Yes, yes! I know you are honest and honest by looking at you, and I like to make friends like you! If you have time, go to my house for a cup of tea, my little granddaughter. Ah, I've been talking about you all the time."

Can you not talk about it? The last time I went there, I didn't have any good gifts, so I got some toffee from non-military supplies and took it to the old man's house.

Turns out what kid doesn't like toffee? I can't eat this "specialty" of Ailan Hill on weekdays, because the Holy Devil Empire strictly restricts the import of various Ailan Hill materials.

After all, the Holy Devil Empire's trade with Alan Hill has always been a deficit, and they can only use products such as Knowledge Magic Balls to fill the huge deficit loophole. Therefore, the precious import share is reserved for machinery and the technology that must be introduced. How can there be a waste to import toffee and the like?

The equipment and technology for producing toffee are also low-priority in the eyes of the senior officials of the Holy Devil Empire, and cannot be compared with other advanced technologies. The Demon Empire is hard to see.

On the other hand, it can also be seen how huge the improvement in the standard of living of the mortal empire is: the mortal empire that used to be the magic empire did not have it, but now the situation has been completely reversed in Alan Hill.

The current situation is that due to the increase in productivity, the living standards of the people in Ireland Hill have begun to improve significantly, but the surrounding countries have not yet achieved this step, so they are much slower.

The capital accumulated before, with the victory of Ailan Hill in the war, and the subsequent plundering of products began to decrease, the state of the magic empire has been broken, and the good life naturally ceased to exist, but what followed was The low and pitiful productivity was exposed and became the most fundamental source of the contradiction.

"Wait for my holiday in a few days! You've seen it these days... I'm really busy here." John pointed to the platform not far away, and said, "I heard that there is a call from Gricken. very vicious..."

"I know, I know, the fight over there is fierce, so we can buy more here..." The old man put his hands behind his back and looked like a warmonger: "If you want me to tell you, we should also send the army to support, right? "

He has a good calculus, as long as it is to support the army of Greken, someone will pay for it. His shoes and socks are all daily consumables. The more the army sells, the better. He will make a lot of money by then, which is a good thing of course.

Therefore, he can be said to be the type of person who sincerely hopes that the Holy Demon Empire will participate in the war, and he is much more active than many people.

"Hey... Sooner or later! Maybe in a few days, this railway will be used to send your army to Grecon." John replied casually, and continued to command the cranes beside him. coming. At this time of the day, I haven't even had time to eat a bite, and I really don't have much time to chat.

The old man watched for a while, then walked away. It's not that he really has nothing to do. He just came here to keep in touch with his relationship and maintain his connections. It can be used at that time.

He walked out of the train station with his hands behind his back, and saw the maintenance workers along the railway, and also saw the cars coming and going full of goods and the mountain beasts.

These means of transport are crowded together, horns and shouts are heard one after another, and the busy railway station, huge cranes, fog-filled locomotives, long carriages, form a vivid picture. In this picture, there is a kind of beauty that is called tranquility.

Of course, this may also be the last peace.
