Chapter 369 Chapter 367: Field Visit (Subscription Request)
Loyd had to admit that after becoming the earl, his life was no longer as comfortable as before.
There are always endless things to do, endless government affairs to deal with, endless emergencies to resolve, and endless conflicts to adjudicate...
In addition, he has to balance practice, meditation, study, and mechanical design.
You also have to grasp the direction of territory development, formulate various major strategies, think about and implement various policies, consider people's hearts, and compete with them in wits and courage.
Facts have proved that it is very easy to be a "tyrant". Although you may lose your head if you are not careful, at least you can act recklessly in the process.
But if you want to be the leader of a revival, you have to be busy and have no time to rest.
Luo Yi didn't know how other nobles lived, but for him, if Shen Lan didn't help him record, sort, coordinate and plan, he would definitely be too busy.
Although I have only been in Auckland for a few days, there are really a lot of government affairs piled up.
After resting, Luo Yi immediately started to deal with it.
Most government affairs are emergencies. When people below can't make up their minds, he just needs to set the tone and give instructions.
It is worth mentioning that there are a large number of orders from the Habsburg Empire.
To be precise, it was the military's orders that were increasing at an exaggerated rate.
Previously, the processing machinery of Xianhualing, including various 'turning, grinding and milling machines', were the favorites of the magic world, and those mechanical wizards were happy to order a batch of them.
You can do research, let your subordinates practice, and share the work for you.
Of course, the number won't be too many.
But later, when the Maxim magic machine gun appeared, the imperial military could no longer hold back.
Compared with the standard magic rifles in the current army, the Maxim heavy machine gun has huge advantages.
A small team carrying two guns dared to face the charge of most knights, which was something they had never dared to think of before!
As a result, the Imperial Military passed the review and trial process at an unprecedented speed and formulated a plan for deployment.
Although there were certainly arsenals producing military products within the empire, patent laws had little effect on them no matter where they were located.
However, the arsenal under the Raymond Magic Energy Group still received a large order.
The arsenal has been operating at full capacity since the beginning of the year. At first, it was for the Knights' replacement of equipment, and later it was for orders from the Empire.
This order opened the door to the military, and the purchasing staff discovered that the secret medicine brought by the flowers was very effective.
In particular, Roy Fitz's Warrior Secret Medicine has an excellent recovery effect for soldiers undergoing high-intensity training in the army.
In addition, after processing machinery became popular, the military also purchased large quantities of it.
Nowadays, almost all the mechanical products and heavy machine guns in Brussels have been taken up by the Imperial Military, and the production capacity seems to be stretched to the limit.
As for those scattered orders, unless there are special requirements, they are all delegated to the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group.
It can be said that in terms of talent reserves, Flowers Territory cannot compare with the Magic Energy Group in Auckland City.
But in terms of scale and production capacity, this side has already surpassed them.
With these orders, it means a steady stream of income, a lot of money coming into the account of Jintiel.
And this is the reason why Luo Yi dares to build a modern magical new city.
In the foreseeable future, he really has no shortage of money!
However, with the influx of a large number of orders, the industrial zone's insufficient production capacity immediately became apparent.
There is a shortage of magic apprentices, skilled workers, raw materials, processing machinery, and even transportation is a little insufficient!
The first railway line built in Flower Territory was from the industrial area outside Brussels, heading north to the mining area of Dome Mountain.
And west, you can reach the warehouse area of Siren Harbor.
This double-track railway runs back and forth non-stop every day, and its carrying capacity is quite amazing.
But no one has ever been transported there. The goods transported back and forth are either ores, raw materials, or various processed products.
But because it runs too frequently, some railways have even been worn out and need maintenance. The person in charge, Lord Hick Cruz, has reported that an extra track should be added to relieve the pressure.
Also handed to Luo Yi's desk was the port expansion plan for Siren Port.
The Siren Port used to be busy, of course, but it was definitely not so busy that ships kept coming and going day and night.
But now it is!
The warehouse in Siren Port has so much piled up with goods that renting it requires a higher price and reservations, otherwise it is common to not be able to find a place to store them.
Therefore, Grand Knight Thor has submitted the expansion plan, which mainly involves building new docks, expanding residential areas, and large warehouses.
Roy has already approved this plan, along with a plan to add another track to the railway, but not three, but four.
Construction in other places can be stopped for a while, but here, the deployment of personnel needs to be accelerated.
As for the shortage of talent, the old method is used. In addition to internal training, the other method is to poach talents from other corners of the empire.
It is worth mentioning that with the promotion of the secret medicine of meditation, the effectiveness of the empire's education has become more and more obvious, and more and more people have magical powers.
There are many older people who have managed to get started with basic meditation through their own efforts.
They are naturally not up to the level of magic apprentices.
After all, it really just has a little more magic power, and he knows nothing about magic.
In order to distinguish them from magic apprentices, they were given a new name, magic workers.
As the number of magic workers in the empire increases, they are no longer as popular as before.
Naturally, recruiting is also much easier, even if they work outside the empire, but the money offered by Raymond Magic Energy Group is too much!
Roy approved the talent attraction plan that Maruna applied for, and even allocated a large sum of money for him to give full play to his talents.
After thinking about it this way, in fact, the most troublesome thing is the raw materials.
The Flower Territory lacks a lot of basic materials. After all, it is just a territory.
Although the Habsburg Empire has it, their internal demand is also huge. At this time, Loy is in urgent need of suppliers.
And the ones he was targeting were Grand Duchess Aphra and Old Freud, as well as the vassal nobles under their command.
This is how we came about this visit!
…
He said he would take the two of them on a site visit, but in reality, Luo Yi delayed it for a few days.
On the one hand, it is to deal with the backlog of government affairs, give people new goals, and get them moving.
On the other hand, there are some things that cannot be seen and must be hidden!
However, in addition to these two, Luo Yi also selected some nobles who had already arrived, gave them invitations, and asked them to come together.
These nobles are basically those under the command of the two major families, who have strength and fiefdoms.
Of course, it also includes some members of the other three major families, such as the Wick family.
The first stop of their visit was the military camp!
…
Outside the city, inside the military camp.
Da da da da da!
Although Alan Wells is not very powerful, many nobles know him, and his arrogant face in the Noble Elders' Council is still fresh in the memory of many people.
Of course, today, he used his actions to tell everyone that he has the capital to be arrogant.
At this time, he was seen shooting from a prone position. The Maxim Magic Heavy Machine Gun was pressed on two wheels, and he was half-kneeling to control it.
Six hundred rounds of bullets per minute seemed to be pouring out a metal storm all over the field.
But after using up a belt of ammunition, he was still not satisfied. He disassembled it, changed it, and then picked up the heavy machine gun directly.
He carried the huge ammunition belt on his back and rushed directly into the maze of low walls built in the trench to imitate streets.
He was seen charging forward alone, like a berserker, and the firepower he unleashed was exaggerated to an astonishing degree.
He even performed a move in a dead end, using a wave of bullets to clear the way and directly crashing into the wall.
It also lets everyone know that in the future, street fighting can also be fought vigorously.
The knights in training were accustomed to this scene, and even teased Knight Alan Wells for his non-standard movements.
But the nobles watching were all stunned. Even Grand Duchess Aphra had a forced smile.
Even old Marquis Floyd couldn't help swallowing.
It would be fine if Alan Wells was the only one so brave.
The problem is that the knights surrounding him were all carrying these heavy machine guns.
After a long while, Old Floyd finally said, "This kind of magical firearm should be very expensive, right?
How many guns did the Habsburg Empire give you? How many legionnaires can you equip?"
This was his last struggle, but the next second, Luo Yi directly shattered his fantasy: "If the Empire gave me one, of course I wouldn't have one. It's clearly me who produced it and gave it to the Empire!"
"Expensive? That's not too expensive. After all, I have the production technology and production line. I have the raw materials. I can have as many heavy machine guns as I want!"
"Right now, there are fewer qualified machine gunners. The knights have enough physical strength, but they still need to learn meditation.
As for the young ones, meditation is easier to get started with, but they still need to train their physical strength.”
"I'm really troubled. Right now, there are only a few hundred-man teams."
"However, if we really had to charge, I think even ten thousand cavalrymen wouldn't be enough for me to kill. It would be really lonely!"
"By the way, if you still have doubts, you can actually give it a try.
According to my calculations, a Level 3 Transcendent, with his Dou Qi fully activated and transformed into defensive armor, should be able to hold out for about a minute, no more."
"So confident?"
Old Floyd insisted, "What if I take action?"
"Try?"
“Just give it a try!”
So, a moment later, everyone saw an astonishing scene.
Five heavy machine guns fired in a fan-shaped pattern, the muzzle flashes shot out a foot long, and gun smoke filled the entire training ground.
Old Floyd used all his fighting spirit to form a fighting spirit shield in front of him.
Then, he became a sitting duck, enduring a hail of bullets like a violent storm, his body being pushed back continuously.
He held on for a full minute, and then chose to escape.
His fighting spirit wings spread out and he soared into the sky.
At this time, even if everyone adjusted the muzzle of the gun in time, they could not concentrate their fire and thus could not pose a threat.
But none of the nobles who came to visit had a good look on their faces.
That was a fourth-level natural disaster, and they were still in such a mess. But what if it was their army or the Knights?
I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago!
The next second, they saw old Floyd falling from the sky, holding Loy's hand directly, his eyes full of eagerness.
"This heavy machine gun, are you selling it?"
I'm shouting at the top of my lungs, please subscribe!
