"You're doing the right thing, the military magic machinery is very powerful, and it can even be said to be the core equipment of our army in the Lampari Kingdom, of course, you can't just sell it to other countries. Major McConley nodded, appreciating Xu Yi's refusal of the Duchy of Statein's request to purchase military magic machinery.

After meeting the envoy sent by the Anglo last night, Xu Yi went to the military training ground outside the city early the next morning to find Major McConley.

In addition to meeting as agreed in advance, Major McConley was also informed of part of the conversation he had had with the Anklew envoy last night.

After all, military magic machines are different from ordinary household magic machines, and they will obviously be subject to certain controls.

Ordinary weapons and equipment are not enough, such as military magic machinery, which is also very important to the military department of the Lampari Kingdom, naturally it is necessary to inform the military department in advance and obtain the consent of the military department.

However, it was clear that the War Department did not want such an important thing to flow outside the Lampari Kingdom, so Major McConley strongly agreed with Xu Yi's decision.

Xu Yi smiled: "Since the military department agrees that military magic machinery is the core equipment, should we place more orders?"

Major McConley chuckled dryly, "Well...... It needs to be discussed before a decision can be made. ”

Xu Yiqi said: "This is not quite right. When the military department used to have no money, it also placed so many orders with our Chamber of Commerce. The kingdom's finances have improved so much this year, and the budget of the military department will definitely increase a lot, so why are you hesitating to buy military magic machinery?"

Major McConley shook his head slowly, hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly, "President Xu, you have a close relationship with Her Royal Highness. I must have heard that His Royal Highness Prince Eric is reorganizing the Zhenbei Army and planning to counterattack the Sark Kingdom, right?"

"Indeed, I have heard Her Royal Highness mention it. Xu Yi nodded. "But what does this have to do with the military department's hesitation to buy military magic machinery? Shouldn't we buy more military magic machinery on a larger scale? Our Chamber of Commerce happened to have developed two new types of military magic machinery some time ago. If it is equipped with the Zhenbei Army, it will definitely make this counteroffensive more smooth. ”

"I know this very well, and I also believe in the ability of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But ......," a wry smile appeared on Major McConley's face. "President Xu, the Zhenbei Army is currently under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Eric, and the relationship between your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Her Royal Highness Queen Sevini ......"

Xu Yi was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince won't be so disregarding the overall situation, right? No matter what the relationship between our Chamber of Commerce and Her Royal Highness the Queen Lady is, there is no doubt about the role of these military magic machines. ”

"I understand, you understand. In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince also understands this. But...... Chairman Xu, I think you should be able to understand that you and His Royal Highness the Prince have different positions and have decided that many things cannot be done. ”

"I understand?" Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Although he had never met His Royal Highness Prince Eric until now, just from the decision he made, it could be seen that His Royal Highness the Prince was really a little short-sighted.

Even if the positions are different, but how important it is to counterattack the Sark Kingdom for the Lampari Kingdom, in this kind of national affairs, if you still let yourself take the initiative to abandon your advantages because of the position problem and do not use it, wouldn't it be a waste of sacrificing the lives of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, and even more ignoring the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom?

Come to think of it. Xu Yi's heart suddenly moved.

"Didn't His Majesty have an opinion on His Royal Highness's decision?" Xu Yi asked.

Although there is not much contact with His Majesty the King, it can be seen from the short contact with Guò. His Majesty King Lampari XIII is known as the Lord of the Mind, with great courage and foresight, and great decisiveness.

Xu Yi didn't believe that he couldn't see the hidden problem behind such a decision by His Royal Highness Prince Eric.

His Majesty the King didn't say anything. Major McConley shook his head. "Because when the two princes and the royal highness of the princess and the princess of Severny were dispatched, His Majesty the King said that he would not interfere with any decision of the three of them. ”

"But what His Royal Highness Prince Eric wants to do this time is related to the entire Lampari Kingdom, is His Majesty the King still going to sit idly by?" Xu Yi said in amazement.

"Don't try to guess what His Majesty the King thinks. Major McConley shook his head slightly, and then said, "But I think His Majesty may have figured out the matter of Guò to see through the ability of His Royal Highness Prince Eric......

"Use the entire Zhenbei Army to test His Royal Highness Prince Eric?" Xu Yi frowned deeply. "Isn't His Majesty the King worried about overplaying and putting the entire Lampari Kingdom at a disadvantage?"

"As I said, don't try to guess what His Majesty the King thinks. Major McConley admonished Xu Yi seriously, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "Okay, this is the end of the discussion on this matter, and I asked you to come here today mainly to let you see something." ”

Xu Yi followed Major McConley to a warehouse next to the training ground, and as soon as he walked through the door, he saw a huge object standing in the center of the warehouse.

glanced over, Xu Yi was stunned.

"It's ...... Magic trebuchet?" Xu Yi walked over to this machine, which was similar in appearance to the magic trebuchet produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and observed it carefully, but shook his head again. "No, this thing is quite different from the magic trebuchet produced by our Chamber of Commerce. Major McConley, isn't it possible that your military department is secretly researching the production of a magic trebuchet?"

"Do you have a lot of money in our military department and don't have a place to use it? With your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce providing magic trebuchets, why do you have to develop them yourself. Major McConley shook his head and glanced at the magical trebuchet in the middle of the warehouse, his gaze becoming solemn. "This magic trebuchet was captured by the Zhenbei Army in a battle when the Kingdom of Sark counterattacked the Muerto Mountains some time ago. ”

Xu Yi was stunned: "That is to say...... This magic trebuchet was made by the Kingdom of Sark?"

Young Man McConley carefully observed the look on Xu Yi's face and confirmed that he was not the slightest fake, so he nodded slowly: "That's right." ”

The expression on Xu Yi's face immediately became extremely solemn, and he circled around the magic trebuchet a few times again, and even climbed to the top of the magic trebuchet to examine it carefully.

After checking all the details, the expression on Xu Yi's face became a little more solemn.

"How is it, President Xu, how does this magic trebuchet compare to the magic trebuchet produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" asked Major McConley.

Xu Yi glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Major McConley shrugged, "I think it's far from it. Although this magic trebuchet looks quite large, the strength and frequency of the stone throwing are much worse than the magic trebuchet of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the power is too far apart overall. ”

"Well, I think so too. But ......" Xu Yi glanced up at the huge magic trebuchet that was three people tall for himself. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. "The Kingdom of Sark was able to imitate a magical trebuchet, and it really can't be underestimated that they can't be underestimated. In addition to the magic trebuchet, have they imitated the magic repeater?"

"I haven't found it yet. Major McConley shook his head. "President Xu, the main reason for letting you come to see this thing is to ask, what do you think...... How much does this magic trebuchet resemble to the magic trebuchet of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you suspicious of our Chamber of Commerce?"

"I do doubt it. Major McConley nodded with a stern expression. "President Xu, you once said that although the magic trebuchet looks very thick, it is actually a very precise magic machine, and even the slightest mistake may make the entire magic trebuchet inoperable, so it is extremely difficult to develop and produce. ”

"That's right, that's what I said. Xu Yi stretched out his finger and tapped at the magic trebuchet beside him. "A magic trebuchet alone uses several tons of steel and contains up to two hundred parts, and any one of them is extremely precise, and if you make one mistake, it will be difficult to make it work, even if you want to assemble it successfully. ”

"So I want to ask...... How did the Kingdom of Sark come up with such a magic trebuchet that requires such precision and is so difficult to develop?" Major McConley looked at Xu Yi's gaze and suddenly became extremely sharp, as if two knives had stabbed deeply.

Xu Yi met Major McConley's gaze, did not let it go at all, and said slowly with a stern expression: "I understand that you doubt our thoughts, but Major McConley, I must solemnly explain to you that our Chamber of Commerce will never privately hand over such an important thing to a country other than the Lampari Kingdom, let alone an enemy country like the Sark Kingdom. ”

Major McConley stared at Xu Yi for a long time before nodding slightly: "If I didn't believe you, President Xu, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now, and you should have been thrown into prison a long time ago." ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "If I want to betray the Lampari Kingdom, it is not just a magic trebuchet. ”

Major McConley's face changed slightly, obviously thinking of the consequences if Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce betrayed the Lampari Kingdom, he pondered for a moment, his face moved, and he smiled at Xu Yi again.

"I believe in your loyalty to the Kingdom, President Hsu. But the Kingdom of Sark is actually able to make a magic trebuchet, and I hope that President Xu will do your best to give me and the military department an explanation. If you can't do it, President Xu, the military department will send someone to assist you. ”

The last sentence was close to a threat and a warning, but Xu Yi didn't care much about Major McConley's tone at this time.

Compared to Major McConley's threats and warnings, the first question to be clarified now is whether this magic trebuchet was developed by the Sark Kingdom after seeing the magic trebuchet used by the Zhenbei Army, or whether it was stolen from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and copied the research and development materials of the magic trebuchet.

If the latter is the case, the question is undoubtedly much stricter. (To be continued......)
