Chapter 499: Tanks for Planes (Additional 2)
It’s a long story, but in fact, the Flower Leader launched a heavy attack on three fronts, defeating the three legions of the three giants of the coalition forces, all on October 10, 315.
Even including the frontal battlefield in the south in the later period, it only took three days to chase the enemy to the north and completely drive Bonaparte's 13th Division out of the Flower Territory.
As for the mopping-up of the remnants on the western front and the recovery of lost territory on the eastern front, there is no need to mention them at all.
In other words, from October 10th to 13th, 315th year of the New God Calendar, in just four days, Flower Territory turned the tables after being invaded, belittled, and looked down upon by everyone!
It was like an explosion that had been suppressed to the extreme, and the shock it brought was truly beyond imagination.
The Magic Eye Alliance even looked quite embarrassed when faced with guests asking for photos of the war because they had not paid attention.
For four days, the entire Old Continent was eerily quiet, as if it was so shocked that it had lost the strength to speak.
Only the major intelligence organizations were collecting information like crazy.
Regarding the actual battle situation, regarding the strength of the Flower Commander's troops, regarding Loyi's actual combat power, regarding the strength of each Calamity, regarding the internal system of the Imperial Guard...
There were too many, too many, they almost wanted to dig out all the information about the flowers.
At this point, they still didn't understand.
It’s not that Flower Leader didn’t have the strength and opportunity to fight back, but he just didn’t want to reveal his cards too early, so he just endured it and set up a trap.
The purpose is to catch them all in one fell swoop!
At this moment, the more despised Luo Yi was in the past, the more respect he now felt for him.
I don’t know how many nobles and political figures felt a chill in their hearts and gave comments after seeing what Luo Yi did.
'This guy is really cruel!'
Of course, what everyone cares about most is always the newly emerged magical machinery.
What on earth is that steel monster that kills people on the battlefield and can carry a magic cannon and rush at a speed of seventy yards?
The Magic Eye Alliance failed to capture the three battles in time, but after reacting, they still took full-scale photos of those steel monsters.
There are even rumors that the King of Evil Eyes personally took action and took the most authentic photos from different angles.
Don't think that he has nothing to do. In fact, this kind of static picture-like information is sold at a high price in the intelligence departments of major empires.
Even the Habsburg Empire was struggling to find it.
The Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, was almost going crazy, driven crazy by the Imperial Cabinet. In order to see Roy as soon as possible, he even stayed in Lion Manor and refused to leave.
If he didn't know where Luo Yi was, he would even be willing to go directly to the battlefield.
But even so, he forced the empire to issue an order to the Minister of Railways Miller, asking Miller to write a letter to Roy.
It was a very formal private letter, asking for various data about the steel machinery, and then carefully asking if there was any intention of transferring it.
Roy and Miller were very familiar with each other, and they communicated through letters in a very casual manner.
It’s nothing like now, I can actually see anxiety in the letter!
However, as they dug deeper, a lot of information was revealed.
For example, Luo Yi personally admitted that it was a magic tank, the first generation of the king of land warfare.
For example, this is a project that the Habsburg Empire does not have, but a new type of magical war machinery that was independently designed, experimented and tested by the Flower Territory.
This is to deal with possible wars and to protect the safety of Flower Territory.
As a result, it was just finalized and put into production, but before it was tested in war, it was attacked by the three giants of the coalition forces.
As we all know, the research and development of a mature weapon takes a long time, ranging from a few years to dozens or even hundreds of years.
For example, the fifth-generation magic cannon used by the Empire. Although it is easy to produce now, there are various types, such as mortars, coastal defense guns, rocket launchers, naval guns, etc.
But this was developed after hundreds of years of exploration and progress from generation to generation.
But what about now?
Xianhualing only set up a project and completed it in just one or two years. Who can we complain to?
But this is the reality!
Looking from the side, everyone was also sighing that the three giants of the coalition were really unlucky, as if they were possessed by bad luck.
But if I wanted to go deeper and get more information, there was none.
The Flower Territory kept the secret of the magic tanks so strict that it was outrageous.
But people are so strange. The more they can't find information, the more they want to spy and covet.
The industrial area of New Brussels has attracted a lot of prying eyes. Visiting cards have piled up in the Lion Manor, and some people have also turned their attention to the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that the sixty-ton steel monster was so exaggerated, one or two of them might have been missing for no apparent reason.
For this reason, Luo Yi had to urgently dispatch powerful natural disaster warriors to provide support.
The mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun and the great alchemist Benito Freud were both withdrawn from the front line and stationed in the two wizard towers in the city of New Brussels.
Together with the mechanical mage tower where Lillia is in charge, the three mage towers can do a lot of things when working together.
In addition, the faceless killer Ulysses also quietly returned. As an assassin, he can deal with many eyes in the dark.
There are definitely not a few fourth-level strongmen in the Flower Territory, but at this moment, they actually feel a bit stretched.
Under this huge flow of traffic, the news that the Flower Territory's magic army had crossed the border of the territory and invaded the three marquisates was completely drowned out.
Or rather, it was simply ignored.
The three marquises were not idle. They spoke out internationally, sought help from the higher-ups, and made noises on various occasions, even going so far as to bring the matter to the Council of Nobles of the Duchy of Normandy...
But no one paid any attention to them!
It was as if the entire Old World had abandoned them.
As for resistance?
Not to mention that most of the elite troops of the three marquisates had been killed. Even if they hadn't been killed, they would have been pinned to the ground facing the magic tanks.
However, at this time, Luo Yi was no longer on the front line.
There are too many things to do at Lion Manor that need him to go back and deal with them urgently.
When he returned to Lion Manor, before he could even catch his breath, the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, appeared before him.
She said nothing, but her eyes were filled with resentment, like a woman in seclusion, and they made Luo Yi feel uncomfortable.
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't look at me like that. It's disgusting!"
When he really wanted to speak, Lord Robin Water didn't know where to start. After a pause, he sighed and said, "Brother, you've kept this from me for so long!"
"What did I hide from you?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you had such a powerful weapon?"
Lord Robin Water said with a bitter face: “Do you know how many times I have been questioned by the cabinet during this period?
Do you know how much blame I have received for not noticing it at all?
Now, the cabinet has begun to doubt my ability, and even thinks that I am in cahoots with you and deliberately concealing the truth!"
"If I didn't have someone behind me, if I didn't have some merits before, and if I didn't have a good reputation with His Majesty, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me."
"Luo Yi, my brother, why didn't you remind me?"
Luo Yi asked in return: "If I tell you, will you believe it?"
"this?"
"The empire is so vast, and the number of subjects and projects offered is so great that it's hard to count them all.
There are probably at least a hundred, if not eighty, of those that are in the process of being manufactured, awaiting experiments, or are even just concepts. Not too many.
If I told you that I designed and developed an awesome weapon, would you believe me? "
"If you report this news back to the Empire, will those high-ranking mechanics laugh at you?"
"A magical weapon that has never been tested in battle is worthy of their attention?"
Lord Robin Water found that what Roy said seemed very logical, but it also seemed to be full of fallacies.
He hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's what I said, but, but, I'm afraid those mechanical mages won't agree!"
"Then tell them that I originally wanted to study golems, humanoid mechanical puppet war weapons driven by magic energy.
It’s just that the technology isn’t there yet, and we can’t achieve that level of sophistication, so we can only keep lowering our standards.”
"For example, my legs are not very powerful, and walking, sitting, and lying down require precise control, so I simply switched to tracks.
For example, if it’s difficult to simulate two-handed movements, I can just put up a turret and use a heavy machine gun for auxiliary attacks.
By the way, I think the reason why knights have been able to roam the Old World for thousands of years is because of their high defense, so I thickened the armor and kept thickening it!
As you can see, I ended up with a strange creature, no longer a golem, so I gave it a new name: Tank!
"Well? Can this reason shut them up?"
"If it's those in the cabinet, they definitely won't believe it, but if it's those in the Mage Tower tinkering with machinery, they'll apply for project verification!"
Luo Yi sneered: "Whether those in the cabinet believe it or not is none of my business.
When Xianhualing was in trouble, they didn't offer a helping hand. Now that I've eliminated all the enemies, do they still dare to talk nonsense to me? "
After hearing this, Lord Robin Water felt somewhat embarrassed. He could only say, "Loy, the Empire is indeed in trouble right now. It's not that I don't want to help, but I really don't have the strength to do so!"
"I don't care whether they are too weak or simply want to stand by and watch.
I won the war with my own strength, so they have no right to act arrogantly in front of me.
If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Lord Robin Water said somewhat embarrassedly: “You’ve guessed it?!
Then I have nothing to be ashamed of. The Empire wants the technology for magic tanks."
"No problem. I can provide the complete set of design drawings for the first generation of the Land War King, including the production line, prototypes, and even expert professors."
Lord Robin Water shuddered all over, his expression showing not much joy but rather some fear.
"Luo Yi, after giving so much, what do you want?"
"I want the aircraft's design drawings and the corresponding production technology. It would be best if I could also get a group of skilled workers and senior engineers."
"This, this, this is impossible!"
"Just report it. It's not up to you to decide whether to agree or not."
