Chapter 116: Eli's Technology Introduced
Senagu: "Mike, this side..."
Mike: "Senagu, do you have something to ask me, or do you want to trouble me for something?"
Senagu: "Nothing, just one thing. We want to find the Dark Elf to invest in our academy."
Mike: "That's it?"
Senagu: "That's it."
Mike: "You really found the right person..."
As a very expensive business in the Krulod Empire, education is a headache for Senagu.
Lack of money.
Whether it was rich before or poor now, education is definitely a business that has little income at the beginning, but with the development of time, long-term benefits will continue to be produced.
What's more, when Senagu was in power, he always said that knowledge changes destiny. Knowledge is of great significance to the Japanese Mai people, and it is one of the last words of the great founding father of the Krulod Empire.
So, looking for external forces to invest is an idea that Senagu, who is still short of money, can think of, and it ensures the orderly development of domestic education.
Sennagu: "You can't do this, right?"
Mike: "Isn't it just doing my previous job again? Simple. But are you short of money? His Majesty didn't give you enough money?"
Sennagu: "Actually, it's the Shaman Academy. They spend a lot of money and hope for financial subsidies. But Mike, except for the Royal Shaman Academy, most of their academies are private academies approved by me."
Mike: "Don't ask you to come forward for this, tell them to come to me themselves. Civilian affairs should not be linked to officials as much as possible, and those that can be solved by the public should be solved within the public as much as possible."
As Mike, who met with Sennagu in a private room of a wine house, said, officials should be officials, and business should be business. It is best not to have too obvious a connection between the two.
After all, Mike, as the second-in-command of the Republic of Paou, that is, the Prime Minister as everyone is used to calling him, was born as a condiment merchant and knew that collusion between officials and businessmen would harm the country. Therefore, separating them if possible was exactly the policy he implemented when he was in office.
Sennagu: "But... the Dark Elf are all a bunch of profiteers..."
Mike: "Aren't we?"
Sennagu: "Huh?"
Mike: "Sennagu, we are in the middle of a war these days. How can we survive without being profiteers? Moreover, given our current situation, how can we not be cunning?"
Obviously, Mike didn't hide too much from Sennagu, his "older brother", and directly told many unpleasant things.
Profiteers... As long as there are commodity transactions, profiteers will definitely have their own living space to take root and thrive.
As for why merchants become cunning, there is no other reason, the nature of merchants is to pursue more profits.
In order to pursue more profits, merchants will become more and more cunning day by day.
So this is why many countries have various laws that specifically stipulate how business activities should be carried out, and collect a lot of taxes or fines on various business activities to punish certain merchants.
Of course, as far as the current situation in the world is concerned, it is difficult for a country to develop its own national strength without business.
Especially now that the Krurod Empire is facing various difficulties, there is definitely no way to survive without doing business.
Sennagu: "Is that so..."
Mike: "If you can't tell them, just ask them to come and talk to me. After all, this is a chamber of commerce, and the efficiency of the chamber of commerce is definitely higher than that of officials."
Sennagu: "So confident?"
Mike: "Learn from me, I'm an expert. Besides, you didn't come to me just to buy me a drink, did you?"
Sennagu: "I know, I'll send you a grandson."
Mike: "Ha. If you want to learn, learn from your majesty... Come on, cheers."
For this matter, Mike can only say that it is really easy for others to find his weaknesses, and all kinds of conditions that make him difficult to resist are too difficult to refuse.
In short, things are like this, and he will naturally work hard for his "little brother" because of the friendship of Sennagu as his "little brother" (they launched a republican coup together and established the Republic of Paou in the past).
Then, have a good chat with those dark elf profiteers who deserve to die a hundred times, or even ten thousand times. Anyway, this is one of Mike's daily tasks, and he is completely used to it.
Moreover, the Dark Elf are still selling all kinds of materials to the Krurod Empire. If his Chamber of Commerce can make the Dark Elf profiteers listen to him...
Don't think about it, just do it.
At the same time, Zelen saw a three-barreled beam Gat suitable for infantry in the arsenal.
Worker A: "Your Majesty, the Dark Elf actually has a similar model for this weapon. But they are basically installed on vehicles and will not be equipped for infantry."
Worker B: "And their principle is different from ours. We have an external machine to control the firing rate, but their entire launcher takes care of everything, and the firing rate cannot be adjusted at all. The complexity of the internal structure is also higher than ours."
Zelen: "Are we better here than them?"
Worker A: "There are both good and bad points. Their Gat machine gun is designed to focus on the fact that even if the vehicle is damaged, it can still be disassembled for position defense. But their weight will seriously exceed the standard, and they cannot be operated by a single soldier alone."
Worker B: "So the factory responsible for the design simply relies on external control, and doing so can also ensure that the enemy cannot use it normally after it is captured."
Zeren: "Because the external machine is destroyed, the entire weapon system is useless."
In fact, it is just one thing, the dispute over the development path of external energy and internal energy of Getter weapons. As for which one is better, sorry, no one has a final conclusion.
But someone has to come up with a real object to prove it, so that everyone can continue to discuss and even continuously improve their finished products.
Of course, Zelen now knows that some Cyclops have installed six-barreled beam machine guns, which can completely suppress various units at a distance of 2000 meters.
Even slightly harder armor has no way to withstand such a comprehensive domestic and foreign technology Getter beam ray attack.
It's just that next, another mecha manufactured by reverse engineering based on the wreckage of the Ghost King Mecha has not yet entered the actual combat test. And this mecha, which has not yet been officially named, is the guard of the Cyclops. It uses the sharp blade provided by the photon technology of the Eri United Kingdom, the orthodox high-precision clan, as the only means of combat.
At the same time, in order to ensure the combat survival rate, the mecha also has a hysteresis force field device and an outer pressure shield to ensure that the sharp blades of the mecha can tear apart hostile ground units and even various buildings that try to approach the Cyclops.
Of course, he himself doesn't really know what's going on with the sharp blades of the mecha. After all, the kingdom of the high elves, the United Kingdom of Eri, is said to be the orthodox kingdom of the Eldar forces, but this country is more conservative than the Negan Empire of the Dark Elf.
If it weren't for the long-standing rebellion in the United Kingdom of Eri, which has become more rampant in the past 15 years, forcing the high elves of the United Kingdom of Eri to come for help, it is estimated that the Krurod Empire would definitely not be able to earn their technology.
Especially the United Kingdom of Eri is similar to the Holy Church. After they seized a lot of cultists' equipment, they were unable to study it themselves (most of the cultists' supplies were engraved, and unauthorized tampering would cause the person who touched them to die in various ways, or even their own mental breakdown and become a member of the cultists), so they were forced to take these items to the Rimai people for research (the Rimai people are not afraid of any type of spiritual and mental magic, and with the blood of the demons in their bodies, they will not easily trigger the protection mechanism of the cultists' supplies).
This matter... cough cough, the more it is during this period, Zelen himself hinted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will charge as much research fees as it is expensive.
There is no way, the country has no money, it is very short of money.
As His Majesty the Emperor, he has to save money in various ways, and even use the technology of the regeneration room to earn the purchase money generously donated by the soldiers. So some things, don't say it out loud, just know it in your heart.
And the United Kingdom of Eri has money, which is more important than anything else.
