Chapter 451 Empire Strategy

The huge engineering workshop and the scene of thousands of people coordinating the construction had given Storm Cato an unprecedented shock, but he didn't know that behind these thousands of people was Nutao City's complete industrial system and scientific research system.

Luke brought him here and didn't explain it to him in detail, he just needed to watch.

No one can reject civilization. Seeing is more effective than any preaching.

In the days that followed, Luke inspected all the key projects. A lot of money was spent, and the results were very significant. In the process of the new industrial revolution, the technical reserves of Raging Wave City have surpassed other places by many positions. As Nutao City's ability to attract money and talents becomes stronger, the explosion of new technologies has reached a critical point.

In order to make better use of the first-mover advantage and firmly maintain his position as the leader of the new industrial revolution, Luke also led a delegation of the City Alchemists Association to visit the Oulu Academy.

Magic was separated from a branch of alchemy, merged with some magic and mechanical majors, and officially became an independent discipline, named Magic Mechanics.

Jointly invested by Yanyang Group and the Nutao City City Government Affairs Department, Oulu Academy and the City Alchemists Association sent professionals to jointly establish the Nutao City Magic Laboratory and devote themselves to the development of magic machinery.

Luke concentrated the resources he could muster to prepare for the early opening of the new version.

Then, after the Empress of the Supervisor State sent five orders in succession to the Marquis of Falling Star to go to the imperial capital immediately, Luke finally suspended the affairs of Raging Wave City and took his staff and bodyguard team to St. Lun City by airship.

Viewed from the air, Xiacheng District has completely changed its appearance after being nurtured by Nutao City. Although the wealth level is still far less than that of Shangcheng District, it has been improved from a slum to the level of a village in the city.

"He asked me to kill you! Killing you will cause pain to the Empire, but nothing he is worried about will happen."

Luke sipped his tea: "I don't want to know."

How can it be willing to become a second-rate country?

Luke immediately changed the subject: "Let's talk about Tedga Hills."

In order to get the empire to cooperate, Luke told Agatha his economic strategy plan for Tedga Hills.

"yes!"

Agatha was very puzzled. The Art County Alliance has been very strong since its establishment, and the history of the country is a history of war. The Golden Shield Empire has been in constant friction with the Art County Alliance in the north, and no one has ever gotten a big advantage.

You don’t have to worry about the empire’s economy being held hostage for too long. The increase in the empire’s wealth is definitely higher than the amount absorbed by Raging Waves City. Sooner or later, Raging Waves City will return to where it should be.”

If it doesn't accept it when it's time to accept it, then it will become a third-rate country."

"Yes, the war money is really easy to make." Agatha also said with emotion: "Has Governor Meteor considered paying more taxes?"

Now Luke finally understood why Queen Christina was so anxious to get him to the imperial capital as soon as possible. She must have been kept awake at night by these giant dragons.

Agatha frowned and said, "The empire will pay for it."

Agatha looked at Luke and couldn't help but think of the last words her father said to her.

"The North is not in a hurry to get results..." Luke gave his own thoughts: "This war is no longer of much significance at the military level. The key point is for the Art County United to complete a psychological transformation and accept that they are a A second-rate country.”

Before all the people sent out came back, the eldest princess Agatha had already paid a visit.

The Snow Legion plans to launch an attack to recapture the second line of defense. However, because the Snow Legion is newly established and has not yet engaged in large-scale offensive operations, Her Royal Highness the Queen has not yet agreed to this combat plan."

We don’t know why ancient civilizations that have been away from the world for thousands of years have been coming to Shenglun City one after another during this period. I have a bad feeling that the ancient war that is not over yet will break out again soon."

Agatha's body and expression relaxed. She took a sip of tea and said to Luke: "You advocate a longer war in the north. Another purpose should be to completely control the empire's economy.

Luke picked up the tea and drank: "Have you ever been curious before, when your father summoned me alone, what did we talk about?"

"If we continue to fight this war, there is a possibility. I just came back from Tedga Hills. The situation there is much better than we expected. The empire can unite with Yate County in the north for a while." Lu

Ke pointed at the Snow City in the north and said: "There are too many new recruits in the Snow Army. At this time, we must first stabilize ourselves, carry out small-scale attacks appropriately and join forces with Yate County, and focus on training the army through actual combat.

Now, in addition to the continuous delivery of small commodity orders to Xiacheng District, clothing, food processing and some light industries are also being distributed to Xiacheng District. Luke remembers that the first cannery in St. Lun City is going to be built in Xiacheng District. The human resources here are rich and cheap.

, after the security and traffic problems are solved, factory owners are very willing to invest in building factories.

"I didn't lie to him! I want to help him and ask the empire to relax its control over the Tedega Hills."

The airship landed in St. Lun City. Luke first returned to his Marquis Mansion, and then sent people out to collect what happened in St. Lun City these days.

"When Nutao City makes this request, it is certain that other suppliers in the empire have either been annexed, or their technology is far behind Nutao City. Your Royal Highness, how will you respond to Nutao City's request?"

"A city where ten million people live!" Kylena was surprised by such a city, but then she thought that according to the current rate of increase in residents in Raging Wave City, it seems that becoming a city with a population of tens of millions is not far away in the future. She thought that she would participate

Managing such a super city, Kylena suddenly felt heavy pressure and pride: "Mr. Governor, I will do my job well..."

"I still don't quite understand."

"The war money is really good!" Luke said with emotion.

Kylena, Raging Wave City should be prepared to become a city with a population of tens of millions as early as possible."

"Yes! Use this war to let the Yate County Alliance see its true nature clearly. Its upper limit stops at this position. The empire is a mountain that it cannot overcome. If it accepts this fact, it can still become a second-rate country.

Agatha had no choice but to say: "With the stalemate in the northern border war, there have been many anti-war voices within the Yate County Alliance. The Free Army supported by the Secret Service has done a pretty good job. Some congressmen and officials have proposed ending the war. But they

The voice was too small and far from enough to change the decision-making of the United Nations Conference in Yate County.

Luke did not answer immediately, but asked: "Are there any changes within Yate County United?"

"If Raging Waves City not only demands a 10% increase in the selling price, but also requires a 10% price reduction for the raw materials provided by the empire, how will the empire handle it?"

As the height of the airship dropped, Luke also admired the city below: "Industrialization brings about urbanization. The city of Raging Waves is growing rapidly, and so is the city of Saint-Lun. There will definitely be cities with a population of tens of millions in the future. How to make cities

Stable operation is a challenge for any city manager.

The war reserves of the Yate County Alliance were very depleted. The Raging Wave City Armored Assault Division and the Raging Wave City Fleet were locked in Pine Tower City, shortening the supply line of the Snow Army while lengthening the supply line of the Yate County Alliance.

Agatha looked at Luke, raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about Tedga Hills. Was the Duke of Celtic deceived miserably?"

Agatha asked: "Why?"

Luke looked at Agatha: "Marry me?"

Luke looked out through the window and saw at least three giant dragons doing the same thing to other airships, making the scared passengers yell for fun.

"You want to know what my father said to me last?" Agatha looked at Luke.

"We are talking about another mode of war...economic warfare. To put it simply, it is to use unequal economic status to complete the plunder and control of weak economic areas.

Then a giant brown dragon quickly passed by the port side of the airship. The tip of the dragon's wings was almost close to the airbag of the airship. The giant dragon seemed to find this dangerous action very amusing, and turned around and flew away with a happy laugh.

, to find the next target.

At that time, no matter who is on the throne, they will obey you, the real master of the empire."

Agatha asked curiously: "What did you find in the Tedga Hills? You are so optimistic about the situation there! Even the war in the north has to be adjusted."

Now Raging Waves City has the ability to launch an economic war to a certain extent. Now that the Celtic Duke has announced the lifting of factory restrictions, we can definitely try it in Tedga Hills.

Agatha asked Kylena: "Is there a map of the North here?"

This war mode can cross regional and national borders, with almost no losses, and gains that cannot be obtained in real wars. And the people who are plundered will not have irreparable hatred towards us, and we will soon be able to harvest again."

The Yate County Alliance has extremely cheap thermal energy resources, superb steam technology, and a unique geographical location. No country is willing to go to war with the Yate County Alliance in winter.

This war involves the interests of too many people, and as long as we do not reach the homeland of the Yate County Alliance, the other side will not easily end the war."

Agatha gritted her teeth and said, "Promise!"

The bureaucrats of Nutao City knew that Xiacheng District was governed by their own governor, and they had a natural affinity with Xiacheng District. Therefore, as the officials of Nutao City gradually came to power, the investment and assistance given to Xiacheng District increased day by day.

"Because he gave me another option."

Kylena brought tea to Luke and Agatha, and then opened the window of the room. The warm wind blew in from the outside, carrying some floral fragrance.

"It seems you didn't listen to His Majesty."

"Our child will become the emperor of the empire."

"A third-rate country? Is this possible?"

Kylena lay down by the window of the airship and looked down: "The changes in Xiacheng District have been great. I haven't been here for two months and I don't know you anymore. Mr. Governor, you are always creating magic. Now the Imperial Palace not only does not need to pay for Xiacheng District,

To expand the headache, we are also actively migrating people into Xiacheng District, which is a huge tax."

"Yes, please wait..." Kylena found the map of the North from the filing cabinet on the wall, and then spread it on the table between Luke and Agatha.

"I'm very curious...your conversation has caused a subversive change in my father's attitude towards you."

I finally understand why he gave up being a human being and chose to become a heroic creature; why he chose those words in his last words.

"But this must be based on the premise that the empire will not break up with you, and the empire's successor will not break up with your successor."

"Helping the industrialization of the Tedega Hills will solve the problem of the barbarians? Have you ever thought that if these measures of yours don't work on the barbarians, you are creating a powerful enemy for the empire!"

Luke said: "More than half of spring has passed, what is the war situation in the north?"

Agatha said: "The empire also has other military supplies suppliers, including heavy factories directly under the royal family."

"Let me give you an example." Luke thought for a moment and said, "Suppose Raging Wave City suddenly announced that the price of all military orders in the empire would increase by ten percent. How would the empire deal with it?"

As soon as Agatha sat down, she said apologetically: "I know you haven't had a good rest since you came back from Tedga Hills, but first there were angels and gold people, then the shadow tribe, and now even the dragons have flown across the ocean.

Yes, Her Royal Highness the Queen and I are both afraid that the volcano will erupt from the middle of the city and a group of demons will rush out of it.

"Kill the meteor! Or marry him!"

Agatha was waiting to hear Luke's opinion on the abnormal actions of the five ancient civilizations. Unexpectedly, Luke asked about the war in the north first.

At this time, a dragon roar came, and the guards on the airship immediately went on alert.

Please rest assured, Your Highness, not a cent of the money spent on Tedega Hills will be in vain..."
