Chapter 396: 394: Imperial Aid (Subscription Request)
The struggle between countries is often the naked law of the jungle: if you are strong, you are right; if you are weak, you have no human rights.
Even if several powerful countries reach a consensus, you won't even have a chance to reason, and any voice you raise at the top of your lungs will be completely ignored.
Then, quietly, the territory, minerals, wealth, and resources will be divided up completely.
The underlying tone of civilization is always cold and cruel competition!
However, in order to show off themselves, nobles often have to save face and pay attention to having a legitimate reason.
No matter how bad the work is, no matter how unpresentable it is, you have to find an excuse to fool people!
Even if this excuse is ridiculous, even if everyone knows it is just an excuse, it can still shut up the public.
Therefore, Luo Yi had to define the cooperation with the Empire as a business!
Doing business?
You pay, I give you the product. The price is reasonable, and I am honest and fair. No one can complain!
This is a layer of cover-up, but because of this extra layer of cover-up, Luo Yi dared to say openly that Flower Leader did not take sides, nor did he favor any one side.
This is the only way Luo Yi can think of that is beneficial to himself.
Of course, since it’s a business, you have to pay!
Later, Roy discussed the empire's needs and support in more detail with Lord Robin Water.
For example, what materials the empire needs, how many exactly, how much can the Flower Territory afford, how much is produced at the current stage, how much production capacity needs to be expanded, how to transport it, etc.
For example, what kind of talents the empire needs to send, how many are needed, how much salary should be paid, and what benefits are provided.
There is also the issue of what price to set for the products sold with flowers, what kind of discounts to give, and how much money to spend on it.
There was so much to discuss that Roy even had dinner with the imperial ambassador in the industrial zone, and then returned to Lion Manor and talked until almost dawn before they finally finalized the specific content.
Then, just the next day, the first wave of reinforcements from the Empire arrived.
This group of people include designers, professional construction workers, earth magicians, and three medium-sized magic pools.
That’s right, they came here to build the new city of Brussels.
The leader was still Roy's acquaintance, one of the great designers invited before, Hope Fraser.
He hurried back to the empire, intending to show his prowess on the battlefield, but the empire entrusted him with an important task and sent him back!
The difference is that this time when he came back, Julius Martin, the little guy whom he had never even looked at before, became his boss.
To be honest, there is nothing more wonderful in the world than this!
Of course, the reason they were able to move so fast was because they had already arrived at the Silver Sea.
To be precise, this group of people were waiting outside the Siren Harbor on the ironclad ship Emden.
After waiting for Lord Robinworth and Roy to finalize their cooperation, they landed at Siren Port and went upstream to Brussels at the fastest speed.
So, why didn't Luo Yi refuse?
Because now that the empire has a plan, it will not allow him to refuse.
Of course, you have to admit that the arrival of this group of professionals is really helpful.
The ability of the great designer Hope Fraser is unquestionable, and those who follow him are all talented.
Although he was unhappy that the young man Julius Martin was riding on his head, his eyes still lit up when he saw the design plan.
With their joining, the construction team expanded four times again and could even carry out construction in six locations at the same time.
The residential area is just the beginning, and it is also the construction site with the largest number of people. The construction speed is changing every day.
Others included installing mana pools at designated locations, building factories in planned locations, and digging the ground to lay lapis lazuli lines...
In short, under the reasonable arrangement of Julius Martin and Hope Fraser, the six teams each did their own thing and were busy as hell.
The key point is that if it was just manpower, it wouldn't be that fast, but this time, the empire sent enough magicians.
Most of these magicians are proficient in earth magic, leveling the land, digging trenches, debugging lines, and transporting materials, which can increase efficiency several times or even dozens of times!
As traditional magicians, they could not participate in the imperial war, but their magic showed extremely exaggerated effects in production and construction.
If Luo Yi had to describe it, having them is like having enough construction machinery, and the efficiency is extremely high.
It is worth mentioning that Roy also told Lord Robin Water about his cooperation with the Norman Archduchess, Marquis Floyd the Elder.
Then, the imperial ambassador was really overjoyed!
Since there is a buy one get two free offer, what else is there to say?
Of course, a group of people were also dispatched, in the name of Flowers, to help them install the magic energy pool, debug the machinery, and then operate the factory as quickly as possible.
These two companies can be said to have won easily by following Luo Yi.
Of course, Luoyi also needs their products to supplement its own industrial chain.
And these are the first batch of aid!
Immediately afterwards, the great wizard Menon Becker, whom Loy was familiar with before, came over again.
He brought enough materials and built a remote portal in Lilia's mechanical mage tower, which directly connected to the mage tower in the empire.
Although opening a remote portal consumes a huge amount of materials every time, it is really convenient to cross thousands of miles in just a few breaths!
Through this portal, the empire sent more professional talents and supplies.
Therefore, apart from the new city, the second place that was targeted was the Magic Steel Plant.
The original magic steelmaking furnace naturally has a high production capacity, but it is no longer able to keep up with its usage.
The second steelmaking furnace, although larger in scale, was still under construction, and with the manpower led by Flowers, the speed could not be increased quickly.
But this time, the empire sent enough engineers and magicians, so these were no longer a problem.
Thanks to their planning and efforts, another huge oval chimney took shape. An endless supply of iron ore was fed into the steelmaking furnace and melted into molten iron under high temperatures...
With the experience from the first time, this time went much more smoothly.
The output of the two steel mills has more than doubled compared to before, which is enough to support the needs of subsequent factories.
After the steel mill, there is the iron foundry, the rolling mill, the mold factory, the parts processing factory, the textile factory, and the machinery manufacturing plant.
There are also magic cannon production workshops, gun foundries, artillery production lines, and bullet production processes...
Even the design drawings and production lines for the six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun and grenades that Roy had been dreaming of were built.
In the end, all industries were sorted out again, and it turned out that there was a shortage of raw materials such as iron ore, wilderness stone and moonstone.
So, the empire sent people into the Dome Mountains to help open several more mines, build a professional rail transportation system, and transport a group of miners over to ensure sufficient raw materials needed for production.
No one knew when, but His Holiness Saint Bartholomew returned to the top floor of the Mechanical Mage Tower.
This time, he is not only Lilia's teacher, but also actually controls and promotes the development of Flower Territory.
Industrial development has always been a complete system. Only when all aspects are met and pieced together can leapfrog progress be achieved.
Therefore, not every place can be as fussy as Xianhualing. Without a certain industrial foundation, even if too much is given, it will only cause indigestion.
Of course, you can also imagine how much the empire has paid to support the industry of Flower Territory and make great strides forward.
Every time the portal opens, the number of people and resources that arrive is difficult to count.
At the beginning, Luo Yi wanted to settle accounts with his brothers clearly and remember them clearly, but he really couldn't record the subsequent ones.
At this time, Luo Yi also had some ideas of giving up. Anyway, if you dare to give, I dare to accept.
By the end, Luo Yi felt a little numb!
He even had the illusion that the empire was moving an entire industry directly to Flower Territory.
Although this cooperation has a semi-forced meaning, the benefits that Xianhua Ling gets are also very real.
After this round of "ravages", the overall production capacity of Xianhualing has increased by at least three times.
In some individual cases, such as the smelting industry, the increase is even four to five times.
The second steelmaking furnace has just been built, and now construction is underway on the third, fourth and fifth.
And this is just the beginning!
Once Xianhualing has completely digested all of this and maximized its production capacity, the growth will not be three times, but ten times or more.
Of course, Luo Yi felt a little uneasy when he woke up in the middle of the night.
He always felt that there was a deeper meaning behind these actions of the empire, as if they were arranging a fallback plan.
On the other side, outside the Flower Territory, the war in the Old Continent is still in full swing.
