This is the case with the so-called semi-capitalist and semi-feudal state mobilization capacity, which has already been bent over by the arms race, and the military expenditure for the war is another large expenditure. At present, the Duchy of Belken has relieved itself, and the contradictions between the coalition forces have erupted. A month after the Duchy of Belken's counterattack began, the entire border had been largely restored - there were not many real battles, and the vast majority of them were the retreat of the coalition forces and the resumption of the Duchy army. The upper echelons of the coalition forces also have a basic military mind, and will not spend their precious forces on meaningless stubborn occupation of the ground.

Eight months after the start of the war, the two sides were already sitting down at the negotiating table and began to negotiate an armistice. The situation now is that both sides have no strength to fight any further, and although mobilization has been carried out, neither side is now strong enough - the coalition forces have given up almost all the occupied land, but the counterattack of the Duchy of Belken has not been able to penetrate the border defenses laid by the coalition forces. It is still very difficult for one country to fight against five countries, and going to war everywhere is something that Belken cannot do at the moment.

In this way, in the ninth month of the war, a ceasefire had been established along the long national border, and an armistice treaty was signed, but this treaty was only an armistice, and there were no reparations or arms restrictions. "This is a 20-year truce, maybe less than 20 years" basically everyone agrees, and naturally Zhou Zhongmou agrees with this. The coalition nations have gained time, and the Duchy of Belken has driven the invading coalition forces out of the country, but the blow still takes time to heal. Zhou Zhongmou watched this live drama, and the second-generation magic machine soldier finally completed the design and began to build the first one. "Do you want to name this model Zagu?or Gundam?" Zhou Zhongmou thought as he looked at the list of pilots and knights. The names of Amuro and Char above are quite conspicuous. There's really no way not to think in that direction.

The second generation was produced at a slower pace than the first. The main reason is that part of the body structure adopts the technology of biological modulation and proliferation, for which Zhou Zhongmou asked the dragons to build several huge transparent columnar modulation tanks, and the artificial muscle attachment on the main structure of this model of body is carried out in these modulation tanks filled with nutrient solution. At this rate, it would take fifteen days to produce a Type 2 Demonic Soldier. What's more, Zhou Zhongmou also used a very ancient production method - that is, several technicians built one plane from beginning to end, and then the next one was produced after it was built. Although he had six such units in his factory, he would only be able to produce twelve planes a month – which would theoretically be double if production had been done on an assembly line.

The first generation of the machine has now been played quite well by these teenagers, although in terms of squad tactics because there is no precedent at all, so it is actually a mess, but the combat skills of individual soldiers are quite good. Speaking of which, these magic machines seem to have become a kind of big toy. There are still quite a few people who want to join these knights, and in this sense, Zhou Zhongmou is an unqualified tyrant dictator. However, there were not many people on Remilet Island now, and the dragons had become the largest race, that is, about 30,000 people, plus about 20,000 humans and elves who could not be counted, as well as more than 1,000 humanoid races and tens of thousands of cave people, as well as a small number of humans and beasts, and finally about 20,000 centaurs, together with the surrounding settlements, there were not even 80,000 people in this city. Moreover, it now seems that the population growth of Remirete Island is negative, but the formation of the army is still going on, but Zhou Zhongmou has adopted a small but refined construction plan. At full strength, the entire army of Remilet Island consisted of only 3,000 men - including about seventy-two magic machines and about 500 technicians and soldiers who provided logistical maintenance for them, and then about 500 centaur cavalry with a corresponding number of supplies. Finally, there are some miscellaneous infantry artillery and the like. And these constitute the entire defense strength of Remiret.

Another problem with the second-generation Demonic Machines is that the physical shells they use need to be purchased. Due to the huge shortcomings of the industrial system of Remiret, all of these modern metal munitions need to be purchased. Although Remilet Island is able to produce some very rare alchemy potions, many of them all need to be imported - fortunately, the concoction liquid that is used most in the production of the Zuò Demon Suit is completely self-produced. In the past, the ammunition used in the ballistas was all hand-crafted and made of monster body materials and certain ore and plant materials, which was completely incomparable to the power of the metal fixed ammunition that emerged after the great development of the mainland industry in the past few years - the same is true for the production speed.

Nowadays, there are several berths for airships at the beach pier, but there are not many airships that regularly travel between Remilette Island and the deep island and the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya, that is, there are one and sometimes two flights a week, and there are no more than three airships in each shift. The transaction volume between Remiret Island and the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya is not large at all, mainly some ordinary alchemical potions, newspapers, some mainland specialties, and ammunition. The Kingdom of XinZemlya offered a rather black-hearted price for these things, but Zhou Zhongmou compensated for this with the materials that Zhou Zhongmou sold to XinZemlya for the same black-hearted price.

The cannonball thing can be slowed down, anyway, there are not many artillery pieces on Remirete Island, and none of the new magic armorers have been built yet. However, the matter of the large airship made Zhou Zhongmou rack his brains, and he could not solve the problem of power source, although he was also an ancient dragon after transforming into a fierce beast, but he was pitiful that he had no magic at all, which was completely incomparable with the ancient dragon species that contained hundreds of thousands of millions of magic power at every turn - in terms of the amount of magic power, he was not as good as a mushroom pig. And at this time he did not know the great changes that had taken place on the continent.

Someone in the Duchy of Belken has defected, and this defector is also a high-level alchemy master. As a movement against immigration from the Five Nations that arose after the end of the war, the immigrant mentor could no longer stay in the country where he was born. So in order to avoid becoming a victim, he fled with his own information. And his defection also allowed the secrets of the floating battleship to spread in the technical circles of the five countries, mainly part of the secrets of the power furnace. This was an almost seismic change, and almost overnight the on-the-continent gorachite ore became a state-regulated precious mineral, with every country strictly banning exports. Although they have not yet copied any model of furnace, this does not prevent these countries from enacting such laws as quickly as possible.

Delphia, this ore suddenly made the kingdom of Xinzen-Zemlya tremble. Their new territory, the Deep Island, was the source of Delphia, and there were originally veins of Delphinia on the island, which was the only one on the entire continent! Almost immediately, the Deep Island received the greatest attention and development, and the construction of new docks and military camps was in full swing. The kingdom of Novaya Zemlya has now become a major country on the mainland. (To be continued......)
