In the eyes of the discerning eye, the Kingdom of Liber and the Autonomous Prefecture of Crossbell are actually very similar.

These two places are sandwiched between the two great powers of the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard, both of which are militarily weak and unable to resist the attacks of the two countries head-on, and both have abundant profits to covet, such as the rich Qiyao Stone resources, such as the Jingrong of Crossbell and the guiding force of the Liber Kingdom......

This is also the fundamental reason why Gao Xu took Kolos to Crossbell for "tourism", from Crossbell, you can see the shadow of the Liber Kingdom, as well as its future trajectory.

Of course, there are many differences between the two, first of all, Liber is a country, Crossbell is only an autonomous state, which determines that Liber can sign a non-aggression pact to avoid war, Crossbell does not even have this qualification, and Liber as a long-standing country that has been inherited for more than a thousand years, has a heritage that Crossbell has not had for less than a hundred years, this ancestral glory seems to be useless in military wars, but in fact, under the ingenious foreign policy, it can maintain an equal relationship with the two powers, With the presence of a buffer state between the two countries, where the smell of gunpowder is strong, Crossbell undoubtedly does not live up to this.

However, the situation of the Liber Kingdom belongs to outsiders and seems to be okay, and the taste can only be swallowed by oneself, which is quite a kind of sadness of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, and the Hundred Days Battle is the best example, and the empire casually finds an excuse. and start a war. In less than a month, the entire country was almost occupied. Zuihou relied on Cassius to turn the tide, to be honest, Cassius's military talent is a part, and more importantly, it is external pressure, otherwise the Kingdom of Liber will inevitably become an autonomous state like Crossbell and become a vassal of the empire......

It is precisely because of this situation that Colonel Richard, who advocates military power, will carry out a coup d'état when the queen is still ruling the country by diplomatic means, which is a pity. Was he brainwashed by Wiseman into thinking that the first seal under the palace was the place where the Ring of Light was sealed, when in fact there was nothing but the Guardian of the Ring? Except for fantasy music, there is nothing~~

Behind the coup d'état of the kingdom is of course driven by the snake that devours the body, but it also reflects the hidden dangers of the Liber Kingdom from the side, Queen Alicia wants to coexist peacefully with other countries and ensure that the people's life is a stable life, but the long-term stability of a country must rely on hard power after all, especially in this special period!

Just as the red war ghost Sigmund said. The situation in the countries of the continent is becoming more and more tense, and the breath of war is rapidly approaching. All it takes is a fuse, and turmoil is inevitable, and it's a great time for the hunting regiment to be active!

The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and the era of peace is gone forever!!

Cover your ears and steal the bell...... And it didn't work in the slightest!!

Getting back to the point, after having lunch at the Winset Cafe, Gao Xu and Kloss went to the municipal library of the administrative district, Kloss began to look for books about the history of Crossbell, and Gao Xu picked out a few novels and read them leisurely.

In the next few days, most of them were spent like this, and Gao Xu took Kolos back and forth between Janis Royal Academy and Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture by means of emigration, but he did not delay both.

Time, entering May 1202 of the Seven Flare Calendar, when the protagonists of Sky Trail, Estelle and Joshua, are fighting against the Sky Thief Capua's family, the plot progress of Zero Trail has already progressed to the fourth chapter? The wisdom that has quietly struck, the true knowledge medicine left over from the last Order's annihilation battle, is about to show its magic power again!

The task of the Order's counterattack was handed over to the Red Sky Team to complete, Gao Xu would not worry about it, he had been constantly comprehending the Heavenly Seal Law recently, adjusting it to the best resonance point with the Xuantian Qingyun Technique, just waiting for an opportunity, it was enough to break through together, and try the feat of combining Xiuzhen and Ancient Martial Arts in the true sense!

Gao Xu's current cultivation has already passed the stage of meditation, walking, sitting and lying are all practice, and even talking about the situation on the mainland with Kolos is a kind of complement to the outlook on life, in the past, he rarely involved the overall situation of the entire country or even the entire shijie level, and his vision was inevitably a little limited, but now he really uses the Semuria continent as a chessboard, and at the same time he is open-minded, even with the bearing of martial arts has been sublimated.

And after many days of travel, the sense of youth on Klos's body is gradually fading, at this moment she and Gao Xu are talking face-to-face about Cross Bell's armaments, police, law, and taxation.

For the crown prince and the responsibilities she has to shoulder, Kross is confused enough, but fortunately, since the accident of her parents, she has learned the most important quality from her grandmother - strong!

If you are confused, you have to go out to find answers, no matter what decision you make in the end, you must at least have an accurate understanding of the future path choice, and take that step, the tough and kind Grancel people do not need to hesitate and cower!

"Which of the above do you think is the most constraining for Cross Bell's development?" After listening, Gao Xu intended to take the test for Koros, Kolos pondered for a moment, and said firmly, "It's taxes!" ”

"Oh, weishenme is not the law?" Gao Xu raised his eyebrows, and changed to someone else, who had personally experienced the unscrupulous behavior of the Imperial people in Crossbell due to the protection of extraterritoriality, and would definitely answer the law, what is the basis for Kross's opinion.

"Although the extraterritoriality enjoyed by the suzerainty in the autonomous prefecture has caused all kinds of inequality, there is still a necessary restraint on the surface, and Cross Bell's police are not as incompetent as rumored, but they are limited by various obstacles and cannot show their strength, and the people are still tolerant of extraterritoriality!"

"But taxation is different, since the leading revolution, the countries of the mainland have entered a new era, the proportion of the economy is becoming more and more significant, except for the special situation, the Altrian code based on religious beliefs, any other country or even the autonomous state, sharp revenue is the top priority!"

"And Cross Bell for historical reasons. A tax of 10 per cent must be paid annually to each of the two overlords in the form of a mandate fee. That adds up to 20 percent. This seriously affected the development of Cross Bell! The Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard are like two huge leeches, lying on Crossbell's body, desperately sucking the blood and grease of the people! ”

"If this goes on for a long time, there will be turmoil!"

Kloss's point is to the point, don't think that twenty percent is a small number, if Crossbell is a barren town, it is so-so, anyway, the total amount is not much. It doesn't hurt to remove a fifth, but Crossbell is the most developed and prosperous trading city with the most developed financial industry, and twenty percent of the figure is a huge expenditure, enough to cause discontent among all the people.

It's like when the government on the earth doesn't act, taxpayers will protest for their own rights and interests, not to mention that the taxes they pay are taken by other countries.

"Good, good!" Hear here. Gao Xu nodded again and again, not simply admiring Kros's thoroughness in analyzing the problem. One sentence points out the fundamental fuse of Cross Bell's independence in the near future, but this kind of overall view that does not bring personal feelings!

Happiness and enmity are the attitudes pursued by many people, but at the national level, happiness and enmity are equivalent to emotionality, and the consequence of emotionality is only failure!

No one will have absolute reason, even if it is an immortal, it is inevitable to be affected by emotions, but the head of a country must tend to the state of reason to the greatest extent, not take his own preferences as the criterion, and put the interests of the country first!

This is also a wild character like weishenme Kou Zhong can't stand the constraints of the emperor, and abdicates the ninety-five honor that countless people dream of to make way for Xian, the emperor's position looks extremely attractive, but there is no capable person, and it is also a kind of alternative torment to sit on it!

And the small is big, and Kloss's path to the queen has finally touched a trace of the edge.

Listening to Gao Xu's praise, Kolos blushed slightly, and returned to the state of a beautiful girl in the blink of an eye, and after getting up to give a salute, she went to the guest room next to her to rest, the two are currently living in the Longlao Hotel, and the books in the library have been borrowed and moved to the room to read.

After Kloss left, Gao Xu glanced at the books spread out in front of her, suddenly sighed, stretched out his hand, and saw that it was written in Juanxiu's font:

"In the pursuit of peace in turbulent times,

Seeking justice in the deceitful shijie,

Abandon romance, abandon fantasy,

Down-to-earth and do your best,

Grasp the future trajectory of the kingdom! ”

"Strong faith, breaking through all confusion, is qualified to truly contact the treasure of the void Liliang, does Seresto think so? Kolos has indeed caught up with a magnificent era, and the future trajectory of the Liber Kingdom is in her hands! ”

Gao Xu got up and stretched out without any image, and muttered, "The theoretical stage is finally over, and it's time to enter the next stage that the reincarnation likes the most - the strength to carry out the path!" ”

******

At the same time.

The Serpent's oversized combat mothership? Interior of the Red Ark "Ancient Lorias".

Su Ying and Ling stood side by side on the maintenance track of the hangar, looking up at Patil? Matiel, communicating with the voice of the internal force.

After receiving the invitation and benefit promise of Dr. Novatis, Xiao Su Ying simply gave up the Guerrilla Association and joined the Snake of Eating Bodies.

She doesn't have a fraud orb that can change roles in the major shilis, she has to choose one, and with the Tuoba Yu'er daughters serving in the Guerrilla Association, it really doesn't matter if she is missing, on the contrary, joining the Devouring Serpent is of great help to the perfection of the war fortress.

Su Ying's current identity is a jishu member of the Thirteenth Workshop, directly subordinate to the sixth pillar of the Serpent's Apostle? Dr. Novartis is the equivalent of an assistant position, not a combatant like an executor, a chasesser, or an iron machine.

Due to her experience since childhood and the growth of the Shifting Flower Palace, Su Ying's own personality is biased towards scientific research, and she doesn't particularly like naked life-and-death fighting.

Su Ying has no interest in cultivating the science and technology system, but this does not prevent her from extracting some ideas suitable for mechanism techniques from the knowledge of guidance, and reaching her realm, like the peak of martial arts, every step of improvement is crucial and difficult, and it is definitely a rare and precious opportunity to be able to bypass from different systems that are partially the same and have big differences!

Of course. Dr. Novartis also benefited greatly. The biggest advantage of the reincarnation over the characters in the plot is that. is that they can shuttle between different shijie, see many different shijie views, even if they encounter a bottleneck, they can find another way to solve it, and the plot characters are limited by their own shijie shackles, if you want to have a flash of inspiration and break through the bottleneck, how easy is it?

And Su Ying's arrival. The narration of the trick became a flash of inspiration for Dr. Novartis, and gave him a crucial inspiration.

Novartis was overjoyed at the same time, but also gave Su Ying extremely high authority, the thirteenth workshop is its hall, it is easy to appoint a senior manager, from this point of view, Su Ying is completely a model of knowledge, I don't know how much better than the average reincarnation person to do tasks to promote positions......

At this time, Su Ying is using her power as Ling's Patil? Matiel does further strengthening, Ling is the executor after all. Wiseman even secretly stared at her to death, and some things were inconvenient to do by himself. Now with Su Ying, it is like a tiger with wings!

As for the fortress of war, it is strengthened by Dr. Novartis himself, and he has poured a fire-like enthusiasm into the high-tech of this oriental country, and in recent days, the sound of fanatical daxiao has been coming from the studio~~

Straight to the point, in the original plot, Patil? Martiel's strength did not have a three-level difficulty and ten-order at the beginning, and it was roughly at the level of about seven or eight orders (the second part of the Void Trajectory period), and it was only after experiencing the experience of the Shadow Country and the strengthening of the Rozanbelk Workshop in the Zero Trajectory that it reached the tenth-order level, otherwise it would not have been able to endure the same end as the Divine Machine Aang γ between the third and fourth difficulties!

But the situation of this side Shijie has changed, and the Tianxing team has once again entered the trajectory of the void, no matter how well other things are done, Ling Zuihou will definitely leave with Gao Xu, so Patil? If Matiel doesn't hurry up and strengthen it, after this village, there will be no more this shop!

"Patil? The most important part of Martiel's current enhancement is the flight function, and for the diversification of the flight device, in addition to floating deployment, increasing the propulsion power of the booster has also been discussed and shiyan, but unfortunately the drive of each part cannot be appropriated from the existing humanoid weapon, so it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the development of the driver......

Ling looked up and down with dozens of staff members to test the newly installed anti-gravity generation device, but the response was still quite low, and the old god sighed on the ground.

Patil? In terms of attack power alone, Mathil's conductive energy cannon is the main body, and the dual-light particle cannon can even hit Joassim in the state of the demon rampant, and there are also multiple live ammunition weapons as reserve weapons, and the absolute firepower is fierce!

In terms of defense, the external armor material is alloyed with the armor plate? Crudalai steel, this alloy can achieve the highest performance of the present era in all conceivable regions, that is, it is suitable for all environments, and there will be no danger such as deformation and overheating, which is worthy of a fantasy mecha.

Internally, in order to deal with the dangerous situation encountered by the manipulator, it is specially equipped with a healing and revival energy generation device that uses a tactical guide device, referred to as the regeneration system, to put it bluntly, there is a water system guide magic inside on standby at any time, specifically for the manipulator to restore health!

With such a detailed design, all that is left is flight speed.

There's no way, it's a little difficult for big things to fly after all, Ling often looks forward to it, Patil? It would be great if Matiel could have the high engine power of the god machine Aang β!

Of course, that's basically impossible, even if it's promoted to the fourth difficulty in the future, it's not realistic, because the Divine Machine Aang β is an air combat type Gundam, and it can be transformed into a fighter mode after liftoff, if you use an analogy, it's like the red spider in Transformers, and Patil? Heavy Gundams like Matiel fall into two different categories!

So the only practical thing to do is to strengthen, so that Patil? Matil flies faster and more steadily, and it is very good to enhance the pursuit or dodge ability, in this regard, Su Ying also has the same needs, if Patil Matiel's flight function is successfully enhanced, she will have the opportunity to transform and use it on the war fortress!

It's better to rely on others than on yourself, Su Ying didn't expect Dr. Novartis to completely improve the war fortress, it would be very good to be able to further strengthen it, and in the end, she would definitely have to do it herself, not to mention anything else, there will be no cheap things in the space that let the plot characters do it for themselves~~

"The doctor has been very idle recently, so he has the time to engage in alternative research, and when the mission of the alliance leader is down, he will definitely not be able to get out!" Ling agreed with Su Ying's attitude, she didn't know much about the rules of space, after all, she had only experienced a dark shijie, and she belonged to the novice in the reincarnation, but it was not difficult to analyze from the jihua level of the body devouring snake, "The attitude of the Chlois family is a little unclear, but once it is done over there, the doctor and the three divine machines will immediately go to Cross Bell!" ”

"Really?" At this time, Gao Xu had not summarized the situation of Cross Bell and Su Ying, the two sides were divided into two ways, and the purpose was very clear, Su Ying naturally did not know the specific reason for the unclear attitude of the Chloes family, but Ling's words gave her a wake-up call, her eyes flashed thoughtfully, and after half a sound, she said slowly, "The phantom flame of the Devouring Serpent Jihua is an era of turmoil aimed at dragging the entire continent into the vortex of flames, right?" ”

Ling nodded inexplicably.

"In that case, in the progress of the Phantom Flame Jihua, will it be the Three Divine Machines that will deter the two major military powers of the Imperial Republic, or will it be Patil? Matiel is out of the horse, and the result is no difference, anyway, Patil? Martil is a fantasy mecha, so why not use the unreasonable fantasy liliang to solve the shortcomings of the lack of flying ability in one fell swoop and make it take a big leap? ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Su Ying's mouth rose, and she already had a comprehensive layout idea in a few breaths, and said with a smile: "Zero Supreme Treasure, it is likely to be Patil?" The perfect way for Matiel to move up to the fourth difficulty normally!! (To be continued......)
