Three days later.
The newly established auxiliary capital of the Natural Empire, Dawn City.
In Storm Harbor, new Black Rock warships kept sailing in, inviting the royal family and nobles of Kao and Levinder, the grand dukes and nobles of the five duchies, and representatives of all major forces of the civilian class in the alliance.
Of course, we are not here for sightseeing, but for a meeting and discussion.
The core topic of discussion is how the natural empire should be unified.
Rosen already had a mature plan in mind for this.
He intends to continue with the safe, step-by-step approach.
It’s not that he can’t carry out drastic reforms. With his current prestige and means, no one can resist him.
But it will definitely cause great social chaos.
Once society is in chaos, many management vacuums will appear, just like many bubbles will appear in a violently flowing stream.
In such a vacuum area, it is easy for hidden and peeping void creatures to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
After all, he has a big business and many enemies now, so it's better to be careful.
There were quite a lot of people attending the conference, and the total number was over a thousand.
At the Chenxi Port Terminal, thousands of new electric vehicles have been waiting. As soon as people get off the ship, they will be immediately invited to get on the car and taken all the way to the Blue Whale Mansion.
As the host, Rosen had already been waiting at the Blue Whale Mansion.
As the guests were sent away one by one, he also paid attention to the information of the guests one by one.
Among the guests, he saw the Silge royal family led by Queen Kao, nine great nobles, and representatives of Kao's major civilian forces, a total of one hundred and fifty to sixty people.
Represents almost all interest groups in Kao.
We also saw Levinder's Queen Molly, the four marquises, and representatives of civilian forces headed by Prime Minister Muradi, who together numbered about one hundred and twenty to thirty people.
Then there's Aaron.
Although the nobles were gone, the Danger family also came, and even the former Lion King Salint Danger was there.
He could no longer be king, but he still had a considerable family business and earned hundreds of thousands of ounces a year, so naturally he had to speak up for his own interests.
In addition, there are major civilian forces, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Mage Guild, etc., which also have more than a hundred people.
Finally, there are representatives of the nobility and civilians from the five duchies of Bohemia, Camaud, Fontaine, Boweryn, and Godwin.
The combined land area of these five principalities is roughly the size of a kingdom, but their combined population is close to 200 million.
There are a lot of people and the place is small, so it is very poor.
It is several levels poorer than the former overseas principality of Weilan, and far inferior to the three major kingdoms.
Even the grand dukes and nobles, when they arrived in Dawn City, felt a sense of restraint like country bumpkins entering the city.
But there are so many of them, more than 600 in total, so they are at the end of the contempt chain.
It can be seen that when the people from the three kingdoms saw them, even the civilian representatives, there was undisguised contempt in their eyes.
But Rosen likes these five duchies very much.
Because they represent a huge source of power for development.
Because poor places definitely yearn for rich places, and definitely want to become rich themselves.
As long as they are given a little guidance and provided with a large number of opportunities to get rich, these people can become the engine that drives the natural empire forward.
Under the guidance of the attendants, representatives from various alliance countries soon checked into the Blue Whale Mansion and were subsequently given a detailed itinerary.
The first item on the itinerary was the Imperial Military Review, which was scheduled for the next morning.
Naturally, people from the same country and representing the same interests gathered together.
The biggest interest group of Kaa is naturally the Royal Family of Silge.
The eldest prince Ryan also arrived. As soon as he saw the contents of the itinerary, he felt very uncomfortable: "A military parade is clearly a show of force."
"I want to see what kind of force there is!"
He was the first in line to the throne of King Kao, but he was ruined by Veran.
Although I had to accept it due to the situation, I was not happy about it.
Queen Kaa was very interested because she knew a lot of inside information. She knew that Willan had many powerful new weapons, but she was not sure what the new weapons were, so she wanted to see them.
So she smiled and said, "The military force that can force the Glorious Empire to retreat is indeed worth showing off."
Levender.
The cabinet members naturally came together.
Prime Minister Muradi raised his hand and flicked the calendar, smiling and saying, "I heard that the production capacity of Weilan First Shipyard is very amazing. It can launch a Black Stone warship in 8 days, and the speed is still increasing crazily."
Marquis Nobundo shrugged and sighed: "This is all spent on the Nature Alliance's money."
In the past two years, Weilan has been like a crazy money-making vortex. It has become extremely rich, but it has made other countries poor.
But it’s not enough to stop people from smoking.
Because the products produced by Weilan are really good, especially the Lightning Car, which is so exciting to drive.
Marquis Nobundo bought five of them for himself, in various styles.
His sons and daughters each had more than two cars, plus some cars for various purposes. The entire family bought more than 100 cars in total, with an average price of 10,000 Oger each. In total, 1 million Oger was gone.
His situation is not special, but a common phenomenon.
If the current Alliance nobles still drive the smelly and vibrating Blackstone cars, they will be laughed at.
Prime Minister Muradi nodded: "I estimate that Weilan's trade surplus should be more than 200 million Oggs in the past two years."
This is not trade volume, but a surplus, pure profit.
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the Levender people present turned blue, and they were envious to the extreme, wishing they could take his place.
Muradi smiled and said, "If the alliance achieves true unification, then Your Majesty will be able to lead us to earn gold coins from the Glorious Nations."
"When that happens, it will be Queen Zhuoya who will suffer."
That's right. Levinder founded its country on commerce, and they will follow whoever can help them make money.
Now, with the Emperor's future visibly bright, the resistance in everyone's hearts has dropped by 90%, and many people have even begun to look forward to it.
As for the five poor principalities, they are now lying flat.
They accepted whatever His Majesty the Emperor wanted to do, without any resistance.
Amidst all these different mental states, time passed quickly and it was already the next morning.
The military parade begins in Storm Bay.
The weather was good that day, cloudy and windy. Although it was summer, it was still very cool.
When representatives from various countries arrived at the viewing area, it was nine o'clock in the morning.
Rows of artillery salutes began to roar.
Then, a low buzzing sound was heard in the sky.
But I could only hear the sound but couldn't see the thing.
Just when the representatives were feeling puzzled, there was a flash of light in the sky, and rows of planes appeared.
Row after row, 20 planes in each row, a total of 20 rows.
A total of 400 aircraft.
What’s even more amazing is that not only are there a large number of them, but there are also several types.
Buzzing across the sky, it was like a swarm of steel bees.
The representatives looked up one by one, while listening to a five-ring wizard explaining with a voice from high heaven.
"The aircraft flying in the sky now are the Empire's Third Sky Corps, which are divided into three types: Cloud Falcon, High Sky Ghost, and Low Altitude Growler."
This surprised everyone. They might not understand the aircraft model, but the Third Sky Legion was easy to understand.
If one legion has 400 aircraft, then three legions would have 1,200 aircraft.
In other words, Weilan already has so many planes.
Just less than three years ago, when Duke Weilan first came to Dawn City, he took out three planes.
Queen Kaa sighed in a low voice: "It's so fast."
Levinder Muradi also lamented.
"If this legion were to fly over Platinum City, it would probably turn the entire city into a sea of fire."
When they were born, carriages were still pulled by horses and warriors fought with swords and magic.
When people reach middle age, steel actually flies into the sky and lines up.
The world is changing so much it’s crazier than even dreaming.
At this moment, the voice of the voice from the sky appeared again.
"Next, we'll show you the newest Army weapon, the Metal Storm."
"The principle of this weapon is based on the Blackstone Cannon, but the cannon has been miniaturized and specialized, and finally a rotating barrel has been used to achieve an ultra-high firing rate of 2,000 rounds per minute."
As the explanation continued, a group of strong four-ring warriors walked up to a special platform near the dock, in groups of two, carrying a peculiarly shaped weapon.
After reaching the platform, a soldier was holding an exaggerated metal tube array in both hands, with eight tubes in the array.
Another soldier set up a huge iron box and inserted a shiny metal chain into the back of the metal pipe.
There are about 40 fighters in total, so 20 Metal Storms are on display.
The guide's voice sounded again.
"The weapon has an attack range of up to 1,500 meters, and a single shot strength of over 8 rings. A cluster attack can crush any infantry charge in the world."
As these words were spoken, a metal storm erupted!
"Beep, beep, beep."
A very strange sound.
An array of 20 circular metal tubes spewed out faint blue flames together, and scattered bright white and gold lines to the distant harbor sea, forming a terrifying light curtain of destruction.
The delegates were stunned.
40 people were able to cause such a large-scale attack and hit it so far.
If a legion attack were to take place on the plains, with one side using Metal Storm and the other using traditional cavalry, the scene would be unimaginable!
But everyone's shock lasted less than a few seconds before it was interrupted by another shocking situation.
As the platinum and bright lines of the metal storm were scattered wildly across the bay, a large amount of translucent light and shadows surged on the surface of the Storm Bay.
Inside the translucent light and shadow, a faint shadow appeared.
“It looks like a ship!”
"No, it's a battleship!"
"It's a battleship protected by a pure water shield!"
As light and shadow surged, warships emerged on the water one after another.
Each of the warships that appeared was more than 80 meters long and was covered with a thick, pure water shield similar to ground glass.
Although the shield was rippled by the metal storm, it was able to block the front of the shield steadily.
Then, the platinum jets stimulated by the metal storm were like thick and long magic wands, illuminating the warships hidden on the sea one by one.
But when did these warships enter the harbor?
Nobody knows.
What does the battleship look like? No one knows, because the pure water shield obscures all details.
At this moment, the sun was breaking through the dark clouds, spreading golden light to the world, and also illuminating the warships covered by the water shield, making them shine brightly.
Looking around, there were more than 120 giant steel warships lined up on the sea surface of the entire Storm Bay.
At first glance, it looks like a steel city on the sea.
The scene was so spectacular and magnificent that all the representatives subconsciously stood up to watch.
The commentator's high-pitched voice also became very passionate.
"What is currently visible are the main battleships of the Imperial Navy. Each battleship carries more than 50 new weapons with amazing power, a strike range of more than 200 kilometers, and an accuracy of 10 meters."
"When all the missiles explode, they can reduce the enemy ships to ashes 200 kilometers away!"
As the explanation continued, a light mist appeared around the 120 giant steel battleships present, and then the light began to distort.
120 warships disappeared into the bay almost at the same time.
But just when everyone thought the show was over, a thunderous sound of explosion suddenly emerged in the bay.
Immediately afterwards, 120 flames broke through the water mist almost at the same time, shot up into the sky, and crossed the sky at an astonishing speed, rushing towards the sea at the entrance of the bay.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and this terrifying weapon crossed a distance of five kilometers like a sharp sword and slammed violently onto the sea surface.
'Boom boom boom~~~'
The sea surface was ablaze with flames, huge waves were rolling, and the huge noise of the explosion was more than ten times louder than the thunder in the sky! When the sound waves reached the parade viewing platform, everyone was stunned.
When everything calmed down, the entire Storm Bay was still silent.
Everyone watching the military parade opened their mouths subconsciously and could not close them for a long time.
"Woooo ...
The frightened seagulls called out cautiously a few times, which finally reactivated the almost petrified crowd.
"Crash~~~"
The whole bay was suddenly filled with noise.
The representatives of the major duchies lay flatter and were truly proud to join the extremely powerful Natural Empire.
Aaron's former lion king felt his body shaking uncontrollably.
Finally, he knew how Aaron's Lion Fleet lost.
When the Black Stone warships of the Lion Fleet encountered such warships, they could only keep getting beaten and couldn't even find where their opponents were.
It would be strange if we didn’t lose.
The eldest prince of Kao's eyes were completely dim.
He understood completely that he could never be King Kaa.
Queen Kao sighed: "With such amazing and creative weapons, it's no wonder that the Glorious Fleet retreated without a fight."
Of course, Irene, the special envoy of the Glorious Empire, was also among the crowd.
She looked at the waves in the distance that had not yet subsided and bit her lower lip lightly.
After a long silence, the relevant images were transmitted back to Medasilin.
About an hour later, the information arrived on the Queen's desk.
After seeing this, the Queen took the information and went to the compartment: "Rosen~Rosen~~~"
The dull puppet's eyes became clear, and a lively smile appeared on his face: "How is it, isn't my toy powerful?"
The Queen nodded and admitted, "It is indeed very powerful, but how far can this thing shoot? Give me an exact answer."
Rosen smiled slightly and raised his hand to make a '1' sign.
"There are many kinds, but the longest-range and most expensive one can reach a thousand kilometers and deliver a ton of powerful explosives to a box with a range of 10 meters."
The power of these explosives is equivalent to 50 tons of TNT on Earth. In another world, the strength is about equal to a huge explosion spell of 30,000 Rosen Legends 10.
There was a loud 'boom', as shocking as a tactical nuclear physics explosion.
This is the power of war weapons, which no legendary wizard can resist head-on.
Of course there are disadvantages.
Its biggest drawback at present is that it is not fast enough, has not yet exceeded the speed of sound, and is not stealth enough, making it easy to be intercepted.
But he would not mention these shortcomings, otherwise the deterrent effect would be reduced by half.
Zhuo Ya was shocked: "Doesn't that mean we can attack Metasilin directly from the Storm Ocean?"
"I can hit him, but I certainly won't hit Metasilin, don't worry."
Zhuo Ya felt relieved for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help laughing: "After you acted like this, won't the kings and dukes of the Natural Alliance be scared to death by you?"
Rosen smiled and said, "This is exactly my purpose. To scare them so that things can go smoothly."
All disputes in this world come from the reluctance to give in to one another.
As the emperor of the empire, Rosen must completely unify the alliance and must not give in on matters of principle.
Therefore, he could only put his sword to the forehead of the ruled person and wait for the other party to give in.
