Chapter 261 Chapter 7.43 Request ~ War

3599 years later, all walks of life in the Northern Territory are carrying out vigorous assessment actions.

All mechanical driving and applications for modern materials require assessment before obtaining a qualification certificate and carrying out the work with the certificate. ——The era of using public welfare and freely test-driving various machines more than a decade ago is no longer there. Especially the ghost fire teenagers of that year, now they must have a driver's license.

For such an era, some old people in the United Industry (Robin) are very sad.

This can be referred to the end of the ancient times in the main world. When online speech and behavior were controlled by regulations, many old people began to miss the grand occasion of being free to be trolls and forming a navy to go on an expedition.

However, the detailed assessment of the United Industry has deepened the governance into details and established a public code of conduct that all parties are willing to abide by. It has increased the initial investment, but effectively reduced the society's expenditure on related accidents.

This is an unprecedented manifestation of the power of the order system.

When all machines are used by qualified assessors, it actually means that all people in the whole society who come into contact with machines have paid enough energy to understand them. The old and broken machines are regarded as objective phenomena, which will not accumulate negative spiritual energy such as ignorance and fear, and naturally there is no need for additional religious systems to consecrate them.

As for the rebirth of "weird machines", it can only be the spiritual pollution caused by intentional murder.

"Science" failed to do its job, and "industry" began to make up for the gap.

~

Of course, the Northern Territory used "assessment reform" to solve its own problems, and it was by no means responsible for the mistakes that the Old Kingdom resolutely refused to admit.

Of course, there are many guys in the Northern Industrial Territory who took the initiative to admit their mistakes to Egg on behalf of "industry" by taking advantage of the "modest and cautious" atmosphere in the territory.

Of course, since these guys like to be modest, Master Wei will be modest on his behalf. Fire protection, environmental protection, and many other departments should check whether his industry complies with safety regulations. Right, check the economic entities he is related to, and don't do the welfare fertilizers and insect repellents provided by the industrial territory at low prices.

Wei Keng, the troublemaker: Oh, only at this time will the public intellectuals in recent times suddenly claim to apologize on behalf of the masses for the worsening of the world. In this plane, only the evil of order will deliberately mix in and pretend to be a "saint bitch".

~

In 3599, in the words of United Industries, with the development of the times, the strange machines produced by spiritual pollution will be a common problem encountered by all countries in this world, and all parties should take responsibility.

However, under the high-sounding words, there are sharp complaints from the people: the old forces will blame the problem on the rapid advancement of the new forces, which has led to the rapid changes of the times.

The old forces will say: We listen to the will of God, so we are not wrong, so there is no problem that we need to correct. It is the change of this era, and we have not obeyed the leadership of the justice order.

But this time, the new forces are not interested in debate.

Wei Keng: When I have solved the problems of the new era one by one, then it is not a problem of the new era, but a problem of the old era.

~

On the Fengfu Continent, the order side is changing. Although the gods-level forces did not jump out to fight each other directly, they also competed through their respective "agents".

Science, industry, and machinery do not want to rely on the concepts of the old gods, but to establish their own concepts and become powerful gods.

The old gods are not completely opposed. But if the new gods cannot prove that their ideas are correct, they will not easily give up maintaining the old order.

~

In the year 3602 of Fengfu calendar, three years have passed since the great rebellion in the south.

In the year 3599, the contradiction between the north and the south emerged in Aigne. It has been two years since the northern industrial territory was "forced" to reform, but all this did not satisfy King Aig.

Due to the assessment of the Industrial Party, the formal channels for the export of machinery to the south were tightened, resulting in large-scale smuggling. The smuggled machinery fell into the hands of farmers and craftsmen in the south. Due to the prevalence of irregular operations, more "weird machinery" appeared.

[This is just like the prohibition in the history of the United States in the main world, which led to the proliferation of illegal liquor and caused more accidents. 】

The predecessors of these strange machines were all smuggled channels, and there were no regular manufacturer maintenance channels, so small problems were often tolerated, and finally when they accumulated into big problems, they were dragged into the bushes and abandoned.

In the end, these strange machines were found by the mysterious scholars of Eger, and concentrated on biological fusion, and became "evil machines".

The rebellion within Eger happened again. Although this time it was not as large as in the south, it was scattered, but it all happened in the core ruling area of ​​Eger, and even in the vicinity of the royal capital, there were cases of illegal accumulation of strange machines being used by evil warlocks.

~

On May 3, something happened that was enough to shock the entire Eger royal capital.

In a field 60 kilometers away from the royal capital, a group of evil warlocks found an abandoned machinery factory and used the slaves they bought to perform thousands of sacrifices, allowing six strange machines to complete the fusion with flesh, bones, teeth, and fur.

However, this evil fluctuation also alarmed the priests of the royal capital, and immediately sent out holy warriors to attack. However, the strange situation at the scene made even the most experienced paladin feel difficult.

One of the boilers had oxidation marks, revealing two round holes, one large and one small, as well as a crack, just like a smiling face. It rushed towards the paladins with metal steps, and sent them into the boiler entrance with a sweep of its mechanical arm. Just like eating dumplings.

Another lathe mechanical beast was not far behind. It entangled the flesh and blood of the machine and easily killed several people. The mechanical gears chewed up the victims like teeth.

In the end, the gryphon regiment on duty in the royal capital arrived and poured enough holy water down, which made several rampant strange machines rust and become dull.

But even so, only two of the six strange machines were dismantled into parts by the angry paladins. The other four were controlled by the sorcerers and dived into the mud of the river bed, escaping and disappearing.

After this incident, the Royal Capital was shaken. For a time, voices calling for a complete ban on large-scale machinery within a hundred kilometers of the Royal Capital were heard.

Prince Egg's values ​​​​have also changed.

What was originally a helpless sigh about "industrial machinery being uncontrollable" turned into a desire to "weaken, suppress, and ban".

~

The white birds of the Royal Capital Palace were looking for food on the lawn. However, as strange footsteps walked in, these birds jumped out of the way.

In the military affairs decision-making room, Xizaya stacked today's documents and put them aside, pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses.

She used to look like a man, but after giving birth, she grew her hair long and gradually acquired the charm of a mature woman. ——As the old king grew older, she and the other two sisters gradually became the holders of central power in the empire.

Now, her son came in with a worried look on his face. Xizeya already knew the reason for his arrival. After tidying up the desk, she stared at her son.

In front of his mother, Danny hesitated again and again, but was still determined to start the topic: "Mother, is grandpa's health okay?"

Xizeya smiled, and her smile matched the white string of pearls on her chest. Xizeya: "His Majesty the King has become fond of hunting recently. He also asked me how you are doing lately."

After receiving such a response from my mother,

Danny spoke his mind next.

~

After a few minutes,

~

After hearing this, Xizeya looked at her son and asked, "Do you really just want to see your uncle (Carret)?"

When there is a conflict between the central government and the local government, the central government's attempt to suddenly recall the powerful lords from abroad to the royal capital is too immature in the eyes of experienced politicians.

Danny nodded.

However, Xizeya looked at her clearly.

Danny added: "Uncle Karit is a descendant of Xingche and should fulfill some responsibilities for the kingdom."

Xizeya looked at the child and asked, "That's what you think, but do you know what your uncle thinks?"

Danny paused and then said, "I heard that my uncle cared about me when I was young, but since I was confirmed as the heir..." He stopped at this point.

Xizeya shook her head. She knew that these words were instilled in his ears by the nobles of the kingdom.

Xizeya: "Before you were determined as the heir, Karet had the opportunity to be selected as the heir when he was the only male of the Aige royal family for a long time. However, your uncle chose to stay in the north and... Before you were born, you showed Offa's intention to pursue a higher position than the throne."

This was the first time Danny heard his mother say this. No other nobles in the royal capital had described Karit in this way before.

Xizeya continued: "In the year 3579 of the Fengfu calendar, there was a crisis on the Xinghui Peninsula. Karet led the army to defeat the Sea Tribe. The imperial army I led at the time arrived after he resolved the war and met with him. "

Danny asked with confused eyes.

Xizeya sighed and elaborated: "He has the attitude of a businessman, and inheritance is optional for him. He just doesn't want to give up for no reason, and wants to exchange something with the empire."

~

Xizeya took out the contract signed with Karet that year, which contained a large number of regulations that were beneficial to the royal capital.

This is also what the young faction in the royal capital now mistakenly believes: a treaty for the surrender of the northern industrial territories.

The saying "Northern surrender" was sung by the royal bards of the royal capital after the return of the Knights after the Sea Tribe War, but this is not the case!

Now, the knights in the royal capital believe that they have fulfilled their duty to protect the vassals in the northern territory by sending troops, and further feel that today's 'protection fee' should be increased.

But this is fundamentally wrong.

~

Princess Xizeya knew how her son and the nobles in the entire royal capital felt about the Northern Territory.

These young political forces want the Northern Territory to bear part of the increase in military expenditures due to the inevitable increase in the empire's military strength. He also believes that "it is the royal capital that protects the north, and the north has the opportunity to develop to what it is today."

Princess Xizeya, who knew the reality, did not want her son to be coerced by the nobles of the empire. In particular, the North cannot be forced militarily.

Because she knew that her cousin had an elite fighting force that was no less than that of the Royal Capital Knights twenty years ago.

Over the past decades, Karet, as an excellent lord, has governed the north in an orderly manner.

Dozens of combat teams have been maintaining regular training. The military strength of the capital was weaker than that of the north before the rebellion, and now it is even more unimaginable.

~

Danny heard such information for the first time. Before this, his attendants had never said such a thing.

He defeated the strange machinery three years ago, and he had a certain experience of the combat effectiveness of mechanical units.

Moreover, according to the story of the arcane master of the capital of Aige, the strange machinery is more terrible than the war machinery operated by humans because of its fearlessness of death.

Oh, Prince Danny's cognition is based on the fact that there are many illiterates in the old forces of Aige.

Under the governance of the Northern Industrial Party, all ordinary members of the regular army regiments are mechanics who can operate three-ring runes.

The captain level is a knight who drives a mechanical motorcycle and holds a mechanical spear that can eject ten meters. Their proficiency in runes is level four. Even if they encounter a strange machinery with slight mental pollution, they can determine the "weird key position" and load some rune parts to control it.

The school level is five rings and six rings, and the direct leaders of various large armed forces are at this level.

As for those above, they are mechanical generals, who are all operators of mechanical runes above the seventh ring.

Mechanical generals control a whole mechanical armored force, and the combat machinery under the generals is the difference between real combat weapons and dung forks compared to the strange machinery.

And now under the governance of the Northern Industry, the military has thirty-four mechanical generals. That is, there are 34 mechanical regiments in the organization.

~

People who have been educated in the ancient times of the main world understand the role of technology in the war era.

But the warriors of the old kingdom do not understand what the progress of "science and industry" means.

The understanding of the national combat power of the nobles in the royal capital still remains at the number of "knights, great knights, sky knights", "arcane apprentices, primary arcane masters, intermediate arcane masters, senior arcane masters"... these old-time power levels.

Understand it this way: Before the First Anglo-Qing War, the Qing Dynasty, with its vast territory and over 100 million households, did not know how big the technological gap was. They thought that firearms were all firearms, and cavalry was just the number of horses and bows. Only after being beaten did they understand the effect of a one-level technological gap.

In short, before the power of science and technology shines, the confidence of the old times is so fascinating!

~

After Danny came out of the Central Military Intelligence Department, his entourage held thick materials.

At a time when papermaking in the north has turned books into cheap products, the Secretary's Office of the Kingdom of Egg still uses regular parchment as a special official record.

Danny kept flipping through the materials, which were analyses from the northern military intelligence. His expression was serious, but he was not shocked.

This is not because he "does things calmly", but because he thinks the description on it is too unbelievable and the credibility is questionable.

Although Danny believes that his mother will not lie to him, he thinks that his mother may not want conflicts to arise within the Xingche family in the kingdom, and exaggerate.

When he prayed to the gods, he felt that he was destined to have a relationship with his uncle in the north.

~

One month later, in the northern territory.

In the central hall of the industrial planning center, in front of the round table, the members of the "Industrial Execution Group" started the latest meeting under the chairmanship of No. 1 Wei Keng.

Most of these participants were newly grown "mechanical rune arcane masters" in the industrial zone, with a total of 54 people on the scene.

Before the meeting began, facing the "industrial badge" on the round table, everyone stretched out their hands, handed them to the left and right, held their companions' wrists, and let their own wrists be held by their companions. After the ceremony, everyone turned on the projection.

The projection showed the latest decision of King Aig on the northern territory.

First: Request to increase the mechanical tax on the northern industrial territory. Second: The kingdom tax should supervise the production chain of eight industrial cities in the northern industrial territory, including Xiange Territory.

Such irrelevant words of request, if published in the newspapers of the northern territory, will definitely be ridiculed and abused by all classes.

But in the Industrial Planning Center, everyone seemed to have gotten used to the "ignorance and arrogance" of the capital.

Everyone looked at each other and agreed with one judgment: "The capital might really provoke a conflict this time."

All the participants looked at their lord, Carret.
