Chapter 541 392 The Great Power Is Actually Me

Darkus ignored William III's shock, but was thinking about whether there was anything wrong with what he just said. With his arrival, the explosion and the Battle of Altdorf, there is no doubt that the Academy of Leonardo da Miragliano and Stephen Franz has ceased to exist and has become It’s a done deal.

It feels like an important piece of research or a piece of research that had no potential at first and then continued to develop was forced to be put on hold due to various reasons. Some of it is just endless regrets and so on, which stretches for thousands of words.

Darkus has double standards. He doesn't want things that would have appeared to disappear because of his appearance. This is not in line with the way of change, and it is not in line with his way of change. Especially for big guys like steam tanks, just as he told William III and what he had thought before, tactically the empire needs the iron box to act as the front row, and strategically the elves need the iron box of the empire to act as the front row.

In Darkus' view, the way he is telling William III now is the best way, and William III is also the best node. Not all Sigmar high priests are like William III. He remembered that the relationship between Workma and Karl Franz didn't seem to be very good? Walker Horse is a typical stereotype, and William III sitting opposite him is a complete heretic, and only William III can accomplish this matter.

If William III could follow Darkus's suggestion and develop and equip the Skitarii, this would be great for the empire, elves, and dwarves.

However... that picture must be very difficult to imagine. The armor of the steam tank, the barrel of the musket and the barrel of the cannon are filled with Sigma's prayers... Did the Sigma priests still dance to the gods before the war? Make a method or something, and use the entire upper body of Sigma to make Sigma's power appear on these firearms? The full expression of idealism, after being blessed, will reduce the chance of the chamber exploding and increase the accuracy of the weapon. If so, the chamber will still explode? That shows that the user's heart is not sincere. Why other users did not explode their bodies because they are firm believers in Sigma...

However, this will also indirectly enhance the influence of the Sigma Cult in the empire, and eventually it will evolve to a situation where all firearm users will be Sigma followers. As for the rise of traditional high priests such as Walker Ma, it will not change the existence of the Skitarii. Given the historical inertia and strong strength, witch hunters who played an important role in the Three Emperors era have always existed after the unification of the empire.

And the Skitarii don't have to worry about the prying and coveting of the nobles. You are not sincere. You are questioning Sigma. This is a very strict quality control in the empire, especially in Reikland, which is the basis of the Sigmar Sect. Moreover, the Sigma Sect is the state religion of the empire, and the final right of interpretation lies with the Sigma Sect and the Sigma High Priest, unless an idiot is chosen as the high priest.

Let’s not mention the empire and the dwarves for the moment. The dwarves obtained steam tanks from the empire to serve as the front line to suppress rats and greenskins. In fact, it had nothing to do with him.

Mainly in elves, Darkus always believed that there is always a sense of arrogance in the blood of elves or virtual racial bonuses. This arrogance is reflected in all aspects of elf society and has been completely integrated into elf society. , he always had the illusion that after living in this environment for a long time, he gradually became arrogant, and arrogance was like a source, eventually evolving into meanness, acrimony, arrogance, and arrogance. In Nagaroth, This is true in Lauren Loren. As for Ulthuan...although he has been there once, he can get a glimpse of Ulthuan's charm from Belloda.

From a certain perspective, the great schism of the elves and the revenge war with the dwarves were more or less affected by the emotions inherent in this bloodline, which had a lot of major impacts on the elves and the entire world.

Not all elves have a complex identity background and rich experiences in the tide of the times like Soriol. His bloodline, identity, background and experience finally made him give up the inheritance of the Phoenix King and handed it over to Kaladreel from the Kingdom of Yris, and recast a new crown, leaving the old one to the dwarves as a warning to the Asurs: Pride comes with a price!

Dacus looked at Soriol's experience as if he were looking at history and reading history books. There are many famous sayings about reading history books, such as reading history books, reading history makes people wise, and history is a mirror for mankind to avoid repeating the same mistakes. . But he knows that these words are not absolute, and repeating the mistakes of history is what often happens. Not only a certain philosopher, but also some ancient classics also mentioned similar words. The only lesson history teaches people is that humans will not learn any lessons from history.

So... Darkus believes that sometimes, a catfish is needed, a catfish that can be seen by looking up. For elves, this catfish is a lizard man, and of course it can also be an empire. As for dwarves... May Valaya Protect them. Let the elf decision-makers have a clear understanding of the world's situation. When they are carried away by arrogance, catfish can calm down the decision-makers appropriately.

This world is in danger and can no longer bear the torment.

In Darkus's vision, the elves must eat Marienburg and the Westland. Marienburg is important to the elves, but it is also important to the empire, so military means are not feasible. This cannot be done without It would turn into a full-scale military conflict between elves and humans, and everything he and Finubar had done before would be wasted. In his opinion, the best way is to use indirect control, such as establishing an elven embassy in Marienburg, allowing the elves to indirectly control the Marienburg Parliament, and letting the group of human businessmen who are dazzled by profits compete with the imperial officials. The elves hide behind the scenes and control everything. This is what the elves are best at, and they are unique skills and racial talents.

In doing so, although the empire will completely lose the Westland, it will be very good in terms of economy, politics and diplomacy. It will be beneficial to both the elves and the empire, and both parties can gain great benefits from it. In Darkus' impression, although the empire is very rich, it is also very short of money. Although this sounds contradictory, it is actually not contradictory at all. Not everyone has the ability to make full use of the resources at their feet and the environment around them. It must have many things, such as the entire country being in a peaceful situation, etc. This is a luxury for an empire that is surrounded by enemies and comes from all directions.

No matter which world it is in, except for those Martian soldiers who can be brushed out of the ground, maintaining an army requires reliable financial resources. Money is the basis of everything. Without money, everything is useless. Isn't this the case even in games? If you have money, you can explode your troops and recruit more armies. But if you don't have money, you can't even maintain an army. After the empire was unified by Magnus, there was a money shortage for a period of time, that is, a shortage of silver. As a result, the silver mountain that could solve the empire's economy was blown up by him not long ago.

This will make the empire's economy even more passive, and at this time! The elves have completed the integration according to Darkus' expectations, and in order to resolve the conflicts on the island and shift their attention to the places he planned, the elves can sign some treaties with the empire through economic and political means, such as recognizing West Securing independence and giving up the Shadow Forest and the Dragon Forest that spread out with Middenheim as the center and are connected with Lauren Loren. The empire can't eat these vast forests anyway, so why not give them to the elves? , this can also be exchanged for some benefits.

From Darkus' point of view, it doesn't matter whether the empire is unified or remains in the era of three emperors. He doesn't care at all. Because the empire's cheating elector system has determined the upper and lower limits of the empire, unification is just that. At most, the sole government that rules the empire will become more legitimate. The electors will not go around like they did in the Three Emperors era. Attack.

And then nothing happened? There will be no central government in a unified empire. The central government is not a positive benefit to the empire, but a negative benefit. After all, since Sigma established the empire, electors have always been a system that the empire is proud of. The establishment of a central government will only After shaking the country's foundation and establishing a central government, how should the electors who rule the various territories and provinces behave themselves, and what should the rulers of the free cities do? The laws of their ancestors do not change.

Not to mention Karl Franz, not even Magnus, who was rebuilding the empire, could do anything about it, unless Sigma... The problem is that this is a bit nonsense.

Darkos could even predict what it would look like once Marienburg, Westland, Lauren Loren, Dragon Forest and Shadow Forest were connected to become the area controlled by the elves. Marienburg would It will become the busiest city in the empire. The elven ships docked there will make the empire prosperous and powerful. As for the empire, and even human ships, from Norsca to Arabi, he can only say sorry. As Mather Lan's divine choice has some things to do for Marcelan. From before to now, Marcelan has been very helpful to him, and even Marcelan has indirectly affected the situation between Druchi and the Assur Navy. No matter how small the favor is, he will always help.

Electors and nobles will build mansions and clubs there to facilitate dealing with the elf ambassadors who control everything and those trading families who open the sea. They will enhance their own strength through the economy, such as selling or leasing property and resources in the territory, and exchanging Silver develops the economy of the army and territory, and elves play a role similar to investors and bankers.

The pressure on the Reikland and Midden Territory will be greatly reduced. They will not suddenly worry about the Beastmen warband suddenly bursting out of the Dragon Forest one day. As for rebuilding the Duncanwald Territory, forget it. After the elves occupied the Forest of Dragons, there was no such thing as the Duncan Wald Territory. Besides, the legal successor families of the Duncan Wald Territory were all extinct. Of course, the sword was still there. Maybe the Empire would do something about this, and maybe the elves would also Can you write some articles on this?

Advanced labor dispatch is only temporary. Although this is Druchi's characteristic, Darkus does not want to keep it all because he knows that in the face of technology, the inefficient labor dispatch system is not worth mentioning, and the elves also need to increase their population. , we need to work and we need to eat, so what does it matter if labor dispatch takes over all the traps? After King of Ulthuan, maybe part of the labor dispatch of Naggaroth and Ashriel can be retained? The others were packaged and sent to the Westland through the Black Ark, and then the Duncan Waldland was pulled back up? But this matter belongs to a branch within a branch, and we will discuss it later depending on the situation.

Darkus has double standards and is contradictory. He is against one size fits all. He is a staunch opponent of one size fits all. The labor dispatch system may really be retained in part. Some mines still need labor dispatch, and the choice of labor dispatch direction You can look north.

Just as Dacus had expected, this is very good in terms of economy, politics and diplomacy, and is beneficial to both the elves and the empire, and both sides can gain great benefits from it. It's just that sovereignty and other things will make the government and people of the empire a little uncomfortable. There is a kind of beauty of Daiqing, and the elves have become a great power? Maybe one day the rulers of the empire will not be satisfied with the current situation, and will launch a local war against the elves under the instigation of some existence?

Perhaps... it is not appropriate to use Daiqing as an example. Dacus's approach is more like Ban Ya. The biggest overseas rival of the infrastructure units starting with the Chinese character is not the brother units starting with the Chinese character, but the native chickens and Ban Ya. Especially in South America, due to historical reasons, Ban Ya language occupies a large position there. The native Ban Ya has only 46 million people, and the Ban Ya people in South America are almost 600 million. What the hell is this concept?

This is also the reason why many South American players will choose Ban Ya first when they have the opportunity to enter the big league. Of course, this is just one point. The bulk of the money is from Banya's banks, infrastructure and other companies. These companies have a huge industry in South America. South America is not only the back garden of the north, but also the place where Banya recovers blood.

Although the relationship between humans and elves is somewhat different from that between Banya and South America, Dacus is working hard. Although he has not met Finnubar yet, he has a perfect cooperation with Finnubar. If Finnubar showed the diplomacy and elegance of the elves in front of humans, then he showed the military and strength of the elves in front of humans. They complement each other and complement each other, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of humans and paving the way for the future.

And Dacus doesn't care about the war that the empire has taken the initiative to provoke. You have foreign guns and cannons, and I have magic skills to protect you. You have science and technology, and I have magic skills to protect you. You have human sea tactics, and I have magic skills to protect you.

No matter how strong the steam tank is, can it be strong enough to drive into those vast forests? Ardennes Forest, right? The problem is that this world does not have the Arden Forest that Sandzi entered and exited twice, but only the Arden Forest in Bretonnia. Isn't the Empire afraid of repeating the mistakes of the dwarf army that entered Laurent Loren during the War of Revenge?

The vast forest is the core of the elves. As long as humans enter those forests where even the sun is blocked, the elves have plenty of ways to deal with those humans. The elves' prominent learning is magic. The elves know the weaknesses of the steam tanks. The wind of the pious gate is no joke. The explosion of the tank is only a light paralysis. The more serious turret is directly free. The steel protected and blessed by Sigmar is only said to the human people to enhance the influence of the Sigmar sect. The prayers on the surface of the muskets and cannons are not the core.

This is also the reason why Dacus is willing to hand over the steam tanks to William III, unless the Empire suddenly changes from the Holy Roman Empire to Sandzi and forms a steam tank army, grenadiers, flamethrowers, etc. The problem is that this is a bit far-fetched. Let's not talk about the steel and talents needed. Where does the money for forming an army come from? From production, training to maintenance and personnel salaries, all of this requires money. Are the elves crazy? I'm paying you to fight me, right?

Moreover, the elves can also learn a lot from the catfish of the Empire, such as some strange science and technology. This is also the reason why Dacus wanted to come to Elsing Alvin at this node. Unfortunately, he didn't see the medieval Leonardo da Vinci. But fortunately, he got some useful things for him. Through Leonardo's manuscripts, those elf spellcasters developed a locomotive.

Dacus has always been pragmatic. In his opinion, magic should be used if there is magic, and technology should be used where there is no magic or where magic is not needed. Civilian and factory things should not be related to magic, and physics and technology should be fully utilized. In addition to not requiring the caster to operate and maintain, it can also improve the stability and reliability of the equipment, which is what he needs most. He is a player who completes production tasks according to production volume. The factory explodes every other day, and the coal and iron needed by Naggarond are parked on the railway because the locomotive exploded. Who can bear this?

Perhaps after King of Ulthuan, Daxus will order the construction of the outer ring island railway and the inner ring island railway to connect the various regions of Ulthuan through the pass. This will not only facilitate transportation, but also bring many benefits in other aspects. From a military perspective, overseas troops can be transported using the Black Ark, while the island mobilization will make full use of national highways and railways to provide military mobility.

Human breakthroughs in technology will inspire elves. Maybe one day, elves will ride bicycles? Elves stand up on bicycles and pedal hard to walk on national highways? Maybe then we will organize a cycling league around the island? The event will be hosted by the government. Dacus will ask Malekith to attend. As for the way of attending, will Malekith ride for a while as the opening ceremony of the first round-the-island cycling league? Although this scene is a bit hard to imagine, it is very likely to be realized, because the times are progressing and society is developing.

Although the elves are very conservative, nothing is immutable. Bicycles are just a manifestation of the progress of the times. Perhaps there will be wood-burning steam cars or steam motorcycles running on the national highway with black smoke. Perhaps one day, after the vortex is further strengthened, magic will no longer be the prominent knowledge of elves and lizardmen. At that time, we will have to find another way. It's the times.

Lizardmen and humans are the catfish of the empire, and the Nagarys elves, who are incompatible with other elves, are also the catfish of the elves.

Dakwus has already thought about it. In the future, steel and heavy industry will be the pillars of Nagaryeth and the pride of Nagaryeth. When he returns to Nagaryeth, he should rebuild the infrastructure. Nagaryeth itself is an ark and a part of Tal Anlek. The black ark can appear on land and can also return to the sea from land. At that time, he will pack up people, equipment and buildings and return to Nagaryeth. Such good things cannot be ruined by orcs and northerners.

In short... it's a win-win situation! The winner wins! (End of this chapter)
