"Your Majesty, I'm not a military expert, I'm just a scientist. Military warfare, on the other hand, is a very complex system engineering, and simple weapons, troops, terrain, generals, theories, and so on cannot determine the outcome of a war. So, as much as I would like to give you an answer that satisfies you, as a scientist who pursues truth, I think there is only one thing I can tell you. ”

Liam Harr knew what Emperor Fudia Carney wanted to hear, but he couldn't. As he said, all his efforts can only determine a certain direction in a military war, and he will certainly not be able to predict the direction of this future war that is destined to change the world.

"You're cunning. Say whatever you want. ”

Fudia Carney smiled and waited for Liam's answer. Liam Hal saluted and spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I can only guarantee one thing, that is, on the battlefield, our soldiers will not die in vain because of the backwardness of weapons, let alone because of the backwardness of weapons, and need to take human lives to fill the difference between the two sides."

"Good!"

Fudia Carney shouted, and his voice was extremely loud in the empty experimental workshop. He patted Liam Hal on the shoulder and smiled.

"That's it, that's enough."

After speaking, his face was grim and he put forward his own ideas.

"In this war, I have thought many times, the advantages of our three countries are troops, population, and productivity. Now that you have this weapon, we have to take advantage of our productivity to the fullest. Tell me, what if I wanted to tell the Negro Republic and the Third Republic about the methods of production of hunters and slaughterers, and at the same time wanted to retain our own technological superiority? ”

Liam Hal was silent. In his memory, His Majesty the Emperor was a very proud man, so proud that he was never willing to use the power of other countries to accomplish his goals. But now, he actually took the initiative to let go of his pride, and even did not hesitate to reveal the most advanced weapon manufacturing methods of the Alonte Empire, and he also wanted to suppress Elena. Has the pressure Elena put on him to this point?

"It's okay, I know it's a bit abrupt. These weapons are your children, and you may not be willing to hand them over. But—"

"No, Your Majesty," Liam Hal interrupted His Majesty in a rare manner, "I know your determination, and I know your situation. As I said, the technical content of such a thing as a steel tank is not complicated, the only difficulty lies in the steam engine. So, we can follow the example of Elena and distribute the technical drawings of the frame, and we can also distribute the parts that are not important to the engine, and we will only keep the production of the core components of the engine. In this way, we will be able to utilize the industrial production capacity of the three major countries while ensuring our technological superiority. ”

"Is it another imitation of Elena......

Fudiya Carney repeated and nodded.

"That's it, you get ready, within a month, I'm going to get both Negru and the Third Republic to start producing Hunters and Slayers at full power!"

"Boss, this is the latest information, although it is scattered, but I think it reveals a very bad signal."

In the first meeting room of the Communist Party Council on the second floor of the first factory in Elena Town, Sink Warren placed a few thin pages of paper in front of Gastens. Gastens picked up the sheets of paper and read them carefully and carefully. He knew that although the number of words of this information was not much, the price paid behind it was very heavy. Now Elena's intelligence network in Anken Rein is very complete, but it is still difficult to collect information from the three major countries. Zink was able to do this, and he was already satisfied.

"Workshop Renovation ...... of RAND Machinery Power"

"The secret meeting in Ferndingen......"

"The leader of the Negro Republic was assassinated......

"Frequent contact between the Neglo Republic and the Alonte Empire ......"

"Price movements in several major steel markets ......"

As Zink-Warren said, this information is very trivial, very unsystematic, and does not even have a clear conclusion. But Gastens didn't mind. Having been a magister before, he is very good at finding the truth in the details. And the experience from the earth made him understand how much intelligence can be unearthed from these seemingly insignificant small information.

"The reactionary forces will not die in our hearts!"

Putting down the information, Gastens sighed softly, "Although this information is trivial, it can see that our neighbors are not peaceful. The research institute of the Alonte Empire is said to be very powerful. Aren't the many Thorn Bird steam rifles that we use now with Emperor Gary Gibson from that country? ”

"The Alonte Empire is the number one country in steam equipment, and we have been keeping a close eye on the movements of their research institute. There is information that they have made a breakthrough in the study of armored tanks. ”

Zinker reached out and nodded somewhere on the second page of the two-page paper, prompting Gastens that there was information about the Alonte Imperial Academy. Gastens reread the lines twice and laughed.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, what should come, always coming. Claire, inform me that at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Communist Party meeting is here. ”

"Yes, Chair."

Claire, who stood silently, bent down and saluted, curling out the door. Zink watched her leave before whispering.

"Boss, I've checked it repeatedly, and there's no problem with Claire's origin and identity. Moreover, we are constantly supervising the serfs who came with her and with her, and there is nothing abnormal at present. This girl can be trusted. ”

"I know, thank you."

Gastens thanked him softly, picked up the freshly cooled black leaf tea on the table, and drank it all.

————————————

"The above is the basic situation of us now", standing in front of the specially locked map in the conference room, Gastens had a serious expression, "To the east of us, is the old Ankenrein Empire, which is now called the Ankenrein Republic. They have basically given up resistance, and if we don't take into account outside interference, we can take it at any time and unify Ankenrein. However, we must take into account external interference. The available information shows that the Alonte Empire in the southeast, the Third Republic of Fern in the south, and the Negru Republic in the west are secretly planning something. If, if these three countries form an alliance and pull Ankenrein to attack us at the same time, then even if we now have four legions, 240,000 workers' and peasants' revolutionary army, one mechanized combat army, and four giant beast warbands, we will probably be cornered. With half a country's strength against the three most powerful countries in the world, the odds of winning are almost slim. Therefore, we must find our own way out from this possible future, find a way out of communism, and absolutely not let the red flag that has been raised fall again. ”

"Boss, is the situation really that serious?"

Bimpo Bobruv raised his hand, "We are now growing steadily in exports to all three countries, and Goddess Coin has basically had a stable international payment function. The attitude of the diplomats of the major countries towards us is almost universal, and the parliaments of the new six countries are also looking forward to us, judging from the current situation, we do not have the great crisis of the imminent collapse of the country as you said! ”

"That's when they weren't ready!"

Ivan raised his hand to speak, "Communism and capitalism cannot coexist. Because the purpose of our existence is to destroy them. And in order not to destroy themselves, they can only destroy us first. Now they are obedient and follow us like plasticine, mainly because they have not found a way to deal with our behemoth. As soon as they make the Behemoth, or they find a way to deal with the Behemoth, they will immediately turn their back! When the time comes, it will be what the leader said, Elena's desperate situation! ”

"I agree with that," said Eddie Warren, who had performed well in the last defense of Elena, and who had now moved from the head of the militia to the head of the Behemoth Warband and the Mechic Warfare Unit, and who had risen in military status and spoken more actively. And our intelligence can also draw almost the same conclusions. Therefore, I think we must break the situation first, and we cannot sit idly by and wait for the enemy to form an absolute advantage over us. ”

"But our control over the new territory is not strong enough, and there are still many small problems in many places, speculators, bandits, wanderers, etc., and the people's lives are not as comfortable as in the second province. Civilly, it is not possible to fully support foreign warfare at present. ”

"I know that if the three great powers unite to fight us, as the leader said, we are likely to be in danger of extinction. However, there must be ways and means to take specific countermeasures, and if you take the initiative to wage war against them, I think it is a bit reluctant. ”

"I am also not in favor of taking the initiative to go to war against the three powers, they need time, and we need time", Ivan echoed Bimpo Bobruv's statement this time, "but we must strengthen ourselves as soon as possible." It seems to me that there is no need for a war against the three great powers, but Anken Rein, it must be unified! ”

"Unification of Anken Rein ......"

All the members present were a little excited. It has always been the dream of all Elena people to unify Anken Rein and make the whole of Anken Rein a communist country. It's just that they didn't expect this matter to be brought to the table so quickly.

"I'll talk about my thoughts first", Ivan saw that everyone didn't speak, and took the initiative to speak, "Now the three major powers should not be ready, so it is the best time for us to unify Anken Rein now." At the same time, Gary Gibson's kid is a capitulationist, and Anken Rey is also suitable for us to break down one by one due to the current situation of semi-warlordism. If we can recover Ankenrein before the three powers are ready, then we can confront the three great powers with a unified Ankenrein. At the same time, we can also turn the enemy on three sides into an enemy on two sides, and strategically obtain a stable rear. ”

"That's a good proposal, that's what I want to say", Gastens waited until now, and finally waited for Ivan to say what he thought, and he decisively interjected after Ivan, "I also think it's a good time to unify Anken Rein." However, there will always be imperfections in my own ideas, and I hope you can think about it together, are there any risks that we didn't think of, or difficulties that we didn't realize? ”

The conference room was silent for a short while, and then it was lively again. Gastens's speech put this matter on the table with a very good chance of implementation, and everyone began to actively discuss and improve, hoping to find the safest and most efficient path for Elena.

————————

On July 22, 854, Rand Mechanical Power Company of the Third Republic of Fern and Slote Power Equipment Co., Ltd. of the Negru Republic began production of frames for the Hunter and Slayer. Alonte Imperial Dragonspine Power Equipment Co., Ltd. began to devote itself to the production of a new steam engine for tanks, which was called Peace.

On July 24, 854, Elena President Gastens Warren sent a letter of state to Gary Gibson, proposing to discuss the state of affairs to end the division of Ankenrein, and promised to reserve a certain amount of assets for the great nobles and big bourgeoisie of Ankenrein, and to give them all personal security.

On July 29, 854, Gary Gibson, Emperor of the Republic, left the capital city of Ronninger and arrived in Roseville to ask for an interview with Gastens despite the objections of the noble council.

On August 3, 854, Gastens, President of Elena, met with Gary Gibson, Emperor of the Republic of Ankenrein, at the hill west of Roseville. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate one, but this is the place where Archmage Luke Brewster unleashed the forbidden spell before the Third Great Wave broke out.

"Long time no see, you've grown up."

Gastens, who was wearing a simple overalls and only pinned a brass badge on his chest, looked at Gary Gibson, who was dressed in a fancy dress opposite, and sighed sincerely. Although they have only been separated for three years, this half-grown boy with a little cunning has grown up. The life and responsibilities of the emperor made his once immature face mature. And the complex political situation of the Republic of Anken Ruiin also made the emperor's majesty have a slight vertical line between his eyebrows.

"You're still the same old man, and you don't look any different from the workers Elena met on the side of the road."

Gary Gibson said with a slight smile, half teasingly. Then, he restrained his smile and saluted solemnly.

"Teacher, long time no see."
