Chapter 411 Idar Military Officer Academy
Under the threat of mutants, most people in the Lost Land have developed the habit of being decisive and swift.
Because any slight delay may put them in an irretrievable situation when facing the threat.
Since the great elder Sherman Goodberg has made the decision, and the city-state of Padilha is indeed facing the threat of the beast tide, then the next step is...
A team of five envoys, led by the great elder Sherman Goodberg and deputy Salazar, was formed in a very short time, and a list was sent to Captain Hausen.
November 23, 538 in the Gregorian calendar.
With the first horn of the early morning, the three-masted warship "Explorer" swept away the corpses of mutants floating on the sea, carrying the delegation from the Padiliya city-state and the mutants roaring in the cabin, and finally embarked on the journey back to their homeland.
On the coast of the Lost Land not far away, in addition to the indigenous residents of the Padilla city-state who came to see them off, a group of twenty Idar soldiers lined up neatly and saluted the warships that were gradually moving away with standard military salutes.
They will stay on this land as the Idar garrison and continue to collect all the information about this land for their colleagues who have left.
Standing on the deck of a three-masted warship, Sherman Goodberg, the great elder of the Padililla city-state, looked at the land that was gradually disappearing from his sight.
He looked at the rolling waves in the distance, and a rather complicated emotion gradually emerged in his heart.
This year's great elder is nearly sixty years old, but this is the first time that Gudberg has left the land behind him.
The Principality of Idar...
Although this name has been mentioned over and over again in these days, lingering in my mind, but...
When he actually stepped onto the Idar ship and followed these Idar soldiers to the land on the other side of the ocean, he still couldn't avoid the tension deep in his heart.
If the Idar people's attitude towards the Padilla city-state was not what he expected, and if he failed to bring back reinforcements before the beast tide arrived, then... what should he do? Finally...
After a long time, Sherman Goldberg slowly raised his head.
The sails of the three-masted warship were already fully drawn, and the sturdy bow broke through the oncoming waves.
At this moment, his eyes had become extremely firm.
Because... behind him are countless residents of the Padililla city-state who are waiting for news, and his conversation with the Idar people will also be related to the future of the entire Padililla city-state.
…
Late November, Principality of Idar.
Although the winter wind has become biting, the entire Principality of Idar is still bustling with activity.
The Idar Railway General Administration was officially established a few days ago. Both the refugees who had just entered the Principality of Idar and the workers who were originally engaged in the construction of the wonders, once again flocked to another large-scale construction site.
From Mann's Keep in the south to Valens Plains in the north,
A railway that passes through important industrial and commercial towns such as Idar City, Melint District, Sorenburg, and Cologne Industrial Zone has officially broken ground on this land.
Once this railway is completed, it will inevitably become a major transportation artery running through the entire north-south Principality of Idar, allowing the entire eastern part of the empire to be more closely connected than ever before.
Of course, at the same time as the railway was being planned, Idar Central Station, located on the southwest side of Idar City, was also being built.
As a replica of New York's Grand Central Station, although Idar Central Station's wonder rating is only [SS] level and can only provide 100 brilliant points after completion, but... having points is always better than having none.
Bruno is not picky at all in this regard.
after all……
As long as you have glory points in your hands, you can exchange them for enough good things from the mall of the wonder construction system, which will be of great benefit to the future of the Principality of Idar.
In the previous life, New York Grand Central Station was located in the center of Manhattan, New York, and was built by the Vanderbilt family, the king of American railways. It is not only a famous landmark building in New York, but also a public art gallery.
You know, the scale of this station is extremely large.
There are forty-four platforms alone, not to mention the more than sixty tracks leading to the train station.
So, Bruno planned to make some changes to this wonder.
For example...
The number of rails would definitely not be enough, let alone now. Even when the Principality of Idar occupies the entire continent, it would not be able to use such a large number of rails.
Because the city of Idar is located in the easternmost part of the empire, although it can be regarded as a transportation hub in the eastern part of the empire, it is not a transportation hub for the entire continent. So in Bruno's opinion, it would be enough to retain only a dozen or twenty railway tracks.
As for the rest of the place...
Although the New York Grand Central Station in the previous life was known as a public art museum, it was not a real art museum after all, right? Therefore, Bruno planned to use the saved building area to build an exhibition hall that recorded the development history of the Principality of Idar, which could also enrich the cultural life of the people of Idar.
Of course, this is not enough!
Bruno even asked the chief engineers of the Principality of Idar to reserve the location of the bus station in advance. In this way... when the magic cars driven by magic power are put into use in the future, the long-distance bus terminal of the Principality of Idar will be ready.
The laying of railways, the construction of Idar Central Bus Station, and a series of large-scale infrastructure projects not only provided a new source of income for those who were originally facing unemployment due to the completion of Idar Public University, but also allowed the Idar Immigration Administration to continue to accept refugees who were blocked from entering the principality.
And it’s very important that…
Because when the other wonders were being built, the people on the construction site were able to find a suitable job once the wonders were completed, so the possibility of unemployment was not taken too seriously by the refugees.
But after the construction of Idar Public University was completed, when nearly half of the people could not find suitable jobs and were once again facing the risk of losing their source of livelihood...
Naturally, a potential sense of crisis gradually arose in the hearts of these refugees.
After all, they were indeed anxious for a while before the Idar City Hall officially announced the large-scale infrastructure plan to build railways.
This makes them work harder, hoping that their performance can be seen by the supervisors, so that they can get a higher score and find a good place to go after the project is completed.
Of course, the reason why these refugees are unable to find jobs is not because of a surplus of labor.
Because the manufacturing of many large-scale production machines requires the Idar Steel Plant in the Golan Heights to be produced.
The construction and popularization of new machines such as the Jenny also takes time, and merchants and capital from all over the world are constantly pouring in, so... these current problems will always improve with the passage of time.
But even so, Bruno was not idle.
He not only tried his best to increase employment opportunities in the Principality of Idar by expanding the scale of the Stuart family's industry.
At the same time, it also called on merchants to further expand their investments and allowed them to gradually deliver goods and industrial products to the inland areas of the Kingdom of Basel and the Norman Empire through the sales channels of the Idar Chamber of Commerce.
Even if things get worse, we can still distribute land to the refugees for farming after the winter is over, right?
…
The Principality of Idar is indeed thriving in the winter amid the shouts of railway workers.
only……
During this period, the Principality of Idar did not develop entirely according to the trajectory originally planned by Bruno.
For example, the make-up opening ceremony of Idar Public University was not held as originally planned.
To be honest, the opening ceremony is just a gimmick.
Taking the opportunity to increase the cohesion of the Principality of Idar and show the comprehensive national strength of the Principality of Idar to the people of Idar, this is the real purpose of Bruno's opening ceremony.
That is why, if we really want to hold an opening ceremony, we naturally have to make sufficient preparations.
How to demonstrate national strength? How to organize the people? How to carry out propaganda?
All of these require the Government Affairs Office to free up staff to arrange them.
But……
The sudden change in the situation in the interior of the empire forced Bruno to temporarily cancel the opening ceremony of Idar Public University and leave the task of demonstrating the country's strength to the New Year celebration of the Principality of Idar.
And there is only one reason for all this! That is...
The long-silent church finally took action at the end of November! November 27, 538 in the new calendar.
This should have been a very ordinary day.
But on this day, in front of everyone's astonished eyes, the Cardinal Camus Blanchard of the Church of Light announced that the exiled Grand Prince Pitzman was the only legitimate heir to the Norman Empire! The Church of Light claimed that the second prince of the Norman Empire, Rez Alexander, was ambitious, killed the king and his father, persecuted the people, and disobeyed the gods, and was disliked by the God of Light.
Therefore, the church refused to recognize Rez's rule over the Norman Empire, and on November 27, 538 in the new calendar, the church crowned the eldest prince Pizman as emperor in the holy city of Bethlehem, establishing the Second Norman Empire! As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked!
The situation in the empire, which had been gradually calming down, became confusing again.
The imperial nobles, who had originally thought that they had escaped from the vortex of war, were completely panicked.
You must know that since the establishment of the Church of Light and the founding of the Norman Empire, the church, as the representative of theocracy, has never interfered in the regime changes in the Norman Empire, nor has it expressed any objection to the succession to the throne.
therefore……
The entrance of the Church of Light undoubtedly caught everyone off guard and made them shudder.
This has never happened in so many years!
And for the new Rez regime, this is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow.
Because... there are simply too many believers in the Church of Light!
The inland of the empire was different from the Principality of Idar, and the Alexander royal family did not control the direction of public opinion.
In addition, the common people only have a vague understanding of many things. Therefore, with the deliberate propaganda of the church, Rez's reputation among the common people almost reached a new low for a time.
This should have been the time for him to consolidate his position, win over the nobles, and begin to recuperate, but... the entry of the church undoubtedly completely disrupted his rhythm, and the impact on Rez was enormous.
and……
It wasn't just Rez who was affected.
When Bruno received the intelligence from the Idar CIA from Clare, he was also extremely shocked!
The time and method of entering the church were much faster and more direct than Bruno had originally expected!
But what Bruno didn't know was...
It was precisely because of the widespread spread of Protestantism in the eastern part of the empire that the rulers of the Church of Light felt the potential crisis, which brought forward the time for the church to take action! After all... the Stuart family and the Principality of Idar, as the guardians of Protestantism, were different from any other forces. The faith spread by Protestantism was a major event that directly affected the foundation of the Church of Light! The entry of the church made the entire Principality of Idar more nervous than ever before.
For three consecutive issues, the Idar Daily used front-page headlines to list the evil deeds the church had committed, criticizing its suppression of civilian thought and the extravagance of the church's top brass.
In addition, the Idar Daily also published a special interview with Will Roche and others, and gave a detailed introduction to why they left the church and defected to the Principality of Idar.
Under Bruno's deliberate public opinion offensive, Protestantism had become the absolute mainstream in society, at least in the eastern part of the empire, except for a very small number of stubborn believers.
but……
This is far from enough.
Although the Church of Light has not yet shown obvious hostility towards any party, under Bruno's order, Idar Public University and Idar Military jointly issued the "Notice on the Establishment of Idar Army Officer Academy".
The contents of the Notice include...
Part of the campus area of Idar Public University will be designated as the temporary base of the Idar Army Officers Academy, and outstanding officers and soldiers will be selected from the Idar Army to study at the Officers Academy.
In fact, as the weapons and equipment of the Idar army gradually changed, Bruno had long come up with the idea of establishing a special military academy.
Moreover, during the battle with the Odin people, Idar's army had already exposed many potential problems.
But the question is...even if an officer academy is built, who should teach?
Including Bruno, no one had ever come into contact with brand new weapons and equipment such as magic rifles and magic cannons before, so all research on military strategies had to start from scratch.
Therefore, in addition to requiring Sam Layton, Sarah Coren and other senior generals of the Idar army to study new tactics, Bruno had already exchanged relevant military teaching materials from the system mall.
After so many days of preparation, it is finally time for the Idar Army Officers Academy to officially open.
Thanks for all the suggestions in the book club! I've seen them all!
