"Squeak—"
There was a fierce sound of brakes, and a fiery red magic car just stopped next to Ivy João, who had walked out of the staff headquarters.
"Hey, Aiwei, what a coincidence. Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Ivy João turned his head and looked at Sharon Linur who poked his head out of the cab with a strange expression, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I said Shalon, you're very relaxed now, I heard that you drive this car around every day, doing nothing?"
Former Greedy Wolf Legion Captain Sharon Linur shrugged: "Otherwise, what can I do?"
Ivy João was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
The Kingdom of Sark was forced to create a free trade zone at the behest of the Kingdom of Lampari, which was considered by many in the Kingdom of Saar to be an intolerable humiliation.
The Kingdom of Sark, which had suppressed the Lampari Kingdom for hundreds of years, was now forced to accede to the demands made by the Lampari Kingdom, and of course someone needed to take responsibility for such humiliation.
The first to bear the brunt is the greedy wolf legion that has failed many battles in the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom.
In the eyes of many people, it is precisely because of the ineffective combat of the Greedy Wolf Legion that the Kingdom of Zazak was so passive, and finally signed an agreement to jointly create a free trade zone in the form of a humiliating state.
As the commander and chief of staff of the Greedy Wolf Legion, Sharon Linur and Ai Wei Ruo Gao bore the brunt of the attack and suffered extremely severe punishments.
Among them, Ivy João is better. Despite being deprived of the position of captain of the Greedy Wolf Legion. But it was saved by the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Department. And he was given the position of director of the specially set up military magic machinery research and countermeasures room.
Although this position does not have much real power, it is at least a high-level position, and it is not particularly bad for him.
But Sharon Linur was much worse.
As the commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion, he was forced to take responsibility for all the defeats of the Greedy Wolf Legion, and was not only deprived of the position of Legion Leader, but also directly questioned.
If it weren't for the high-level protection of the military department, coupled with the special appreciation of His Majesty the King, then the best outcome for Sharon Linur would probably be to spend the rest of his life in prison.
But even so. Sharon Linur is now a complete idler, without any official position, and even the former earl title has been stripped away, and has become an ordinary commoner.
However, after all, he was born in the Li Nuer family, and with the power of his family, he was not worried that someone would take the opportunity to frame him, and he also had no worries about food and clothing, and his life was quite leisurely.
For example, the fiery red new flying brand magic car he is driving now, if he was still the leader of the Greedy Wolf Legion, it would definitely be inconvenient to get his hands on it. But after resigning all his positions, he only had one thought in his heart. He bought it and became one of the few people in the Kingdom of Sark who currently owned a magic car.
"Alright, don't put that on that face in front of me, I'm not there enough to need you to pity me. Sharon Linur pursed his lips and gestured to the passenger seat beside him. "Can't get up? If you don't come up, I'll go by myself." ”
Joao thought about it, walked around and got into the car and sat down.
"Take me to the Ordnance Research Institute outside the city. ”
Sharon Linur glanced at him in surprise: "Huh, you also want to go to the Ordnance Research Institute?"
Ivy Joao's expression was even more surprised than his: "What do you mean by 'also'?
"Well, those guys said I was familiar with military magic machines, and asked me to be a part-time consultant for them. Sharon Linur replied.
"Part-time consultants, don't any of those bastards in the military department have an opinion?" asked Ivy João with a frown.
Sharon Li Nur snorted coldly: "Originally, they took the initiative to beg me, otherwise do you think I would be full and have nothing to do and run to them to be some kind of consultant?"
"That's right...... Ivy João nodded, and fell silent.
Sharon Linur skillfully activated the magic car, and in an instant, the two disappeared around the corner of the street outside the staff headquarters.
"Hey, Aiwei, are those guys finally willing to admit the power of those military magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Turning another street corner, Shalon Linur suddenly spoke.
Ivy João glanced at him and nodded slowly: "Yes, otherwise why would they put down their faces and beg you to be their advisor?"
Sharon Linur snorted softly: "These idiots are also afraid, I thought they would always shrink into their shells and refuse to face reality." ”
Ivy João let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "No way, no matter how much they want to hide, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce destroyed the Krusk Kingdom so easily, but they directly smashed this shell with iron-like facts, and they can't face it directly." ”
"In fact, there is no need for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to destroy the Krusk Kingdom, there are countless facts that prove this, but they don't want to admit it. Look around here, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been everywhere, even if they still don't want to admit it today, will they be able to hide tomorrow?"
Ivy João looked up in the direction of Chalon-Linour's finger and saw a black magic car speeding by, followed by a medium-sized passenger magic locomotive, and then two large freight magic locomotives in succession.
As far as the eye can see, there are very few traditional horse-drawn carriages in the capital of the Sark Kingdom, and all of them have been replaced by various magical locomotives.
Turning his gaze to the shops and houses on both sides of the street, there are all kinds of household magic machines flickering with a faint magic array of light, changing the entire city into a different appearance.
Since the opening of the Free Trade Zone, a large number of magical machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other magical machinery chambers in the Lampari Kingdom have poured into the Kingdom of Sark, and have been warmly welcomed in the Kingdom of Sark.
It's just over a year. Magical machines have become all the rage in the kingdom of Sark. It has changed the daily lives of almost half of the entire kingdom.
There is now a popular phrase within the kingdom of Sark. If you haven't used magic machines, you're out of this era.
From the perspective of the entire kingdom, Ivy João is very unhappy to see this situation, because these magic machines that are popular in the Kingdom of Sark in large numbers represent that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other magic machinery chambers in the Kingdom of Lampari have taken a lot of wealth from the people of the Kingdom of Sark, which is not good for the Kingdom of Sark, but strengthens the strength of the Chamber of Commerce of New Flying and the Kingdom of Lampari.
But from a different point of view, from the perspective of an ordinary citizen of the Sark Kingdom. However, he had to admit that the household magic machines developed by these new flying merchants had played an extremely important role in improving daily life.
Even Ivy João himself bought almost every household magic machine he could buy.
It can't be helped, these household magic machines are so easy to use.
For example, Ivy Joao's wife and the servants at home have long been accustomed to cooking with magic stoves, magic rice cookers, and magic bread machines, and now let them return to their old life, not to mention that they are not used to it, even Ivy João himself cannot accept the extremely low cooking efficiency.
And even if you put aside the daily life of these ordinary people, even if you really look at it from the perspective of the entire kingdom, you can't completely resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
For example, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has sold a large number of farmland magic machines and matching engineering magic machines to the Kingdom of Sark through the Guò Free Trade Zone.
The introduction of these two things in large quantities helped to greatly improve the cultivation of farmland in the Kingdom of Sark.
It was only the first year of introduction last year. As a result, the annual grain production of the Kingdom of Sark increased by a full 40%.
According to the relevant report and budget of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom, if this year continues to introduce farmland magic machinery and supporting engineering magic machinery. If the farmland in the kingdom is renovated, it is very likely that the kingdom's annual grain production will increase again this year.
And this was achieved on the basis of the absence of chemical fertilizers.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture's estimates, if a sufficient amount of fertilizer is purchased, it is very likely that the kingdom's annual grain production will be doubled on the current basis!
At present, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kingdom is negotiating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to try to get the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to agree to sell fertilizer to the Kingdom of Sark.
However, due to the very harsh conditions put forward by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the negotiations reached a stalemate.
However, some sources have learned that the Ministry of Agriculture is ready to agree to the conditions put forward by the Chamber of Commerce.
The reason is simple, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can afford to wait, but the Ministry of Agriculture can't afford to wait.
This year's spring planting has been wasted because of the stalemate in the negotiations, and the Ministry of Agriculture will never allow the autumn planting to be wasted.
As long as the negotiation time is well controlled, so that the Ministry of Agriculture has time to introduce a large amount of chemical fertilizer before the autumn planting, then the increase in grain production obtained from the autumn planting will be extremely amazing.
At the end of the day, for all the nations on the continent, feeding their people's bellies is always the number one priority.
Seeing that the Lampari Kingdom, which was also plagued by food in the past and often suffered from large-scale famines, had completely gotten rid of this problem a few years ago, and even exported a large amount of grain in recent years, it was of course false if the Kingdom of Sark was not angry.
In the face of solving the food problem, which is the most basic and important goal, the conditions put forward by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are nothing at all.
However, as a subordinate of the General Staff of the Military Department, Ivy João was equally clear.
Once these conditions proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are agreed, it will only make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stronger, and give them more capital to develop more powerful and powerful military magic machines.
In this way, it will only be more difficult for the military department to deal with it.
"But if we don't make it harder, can we handle it?"
Ivy João looked at the magic locomotives passing by on the road, and a deep wry smile hung on his lips that he couldn't press it down.
Buying things from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will only add strength to the enemy.
However, if you don't buy the things of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will only make the Sark Kingdom more and more backward compared to the Lampari Kingdom, and it is even more impossible to catch up.
Such a dilemma, even Ivy Joao, who was previously known by everyone as the brains of the Greedy Wolf Army, did not know how to choose.
At such a time, he could only rejoice that he was now just an ordinary military officer in the military staff.
If he were the noble king, I would have a headache every day because of such a dilemma......
