Extraordinary Sailing

"Our two joint shipbuilding? The new legendary battleship 'in name' belongs to the kingdom?"

When the Holy Angel made the promise, although there was an objective factor that Phalatis is currently the most powerful country in the alliance, the direct cause was the "capital demise theory" proposed by Aiwen when the four of them had a secret meeting in the study.

And as long as enough materials can be obtained, Aiwen can completely perform the [Activation Ship Spirit Art] again. Although the cost is not low, there is no technical obstacle.

So even if it is a "joint venture", Aiwen still has the absolute initiative.

However, even if it is just a legendary warship that nominally belongs to the kingdom, it is very precious to the Kingdom of Phalatis!

After all, after the [Southern Cross] disappeared along with Ilia's exiled royal family, the number of official legendary warships in the entire alliance has dropped to a pitiful two, and the gap with the biggest enemy overlord, the Cyrus Empire, has further increased enlarge.

[Crown of Miracles] is a private warship that belongs to Aiwen completely, and the kingdom has not contributed to it at all, no matter how it is counted, it cannot be counted on Phalitis.

At this time, a legendary warship whose significance on the battlefield is no less than that of a Tier 4 title is not insignificant to the temptation of the kingdom. Even if it is placed in Sirius, it is also a major matter related to the country.

"this"

After hearing the cooperation plan proposed by Aiwen, Liwena pondered for a while with her creamy cheeks, but couldn't make up her mind. Simply send a letter to Her Majesty the Queen, and let the head of the family have a headache.

However.

It didn't take long, but Isabella, who was still wearing ordinary clothes and didn't dress up at all, had rushed to the Crown Prince's mansion in person. Obviously, after hearing this blockbuster news related to the core force of a country, the Queen couldn't sit still at all.

"Secret Garrett, how many 'treasure trees' do you have left? I really can't sell them to you."

Rushed all the way into the small hall, without caring about the queen's demeanor, he asked questions directly.

But before she could finish her sentence, Isabella was suddenly attracted by the second daughter who was sitting next to Ivan, who was as bright and charming as a rose.

For at least the past ten years, Her Majesty the Queen could not help being a little surprised to see her daughter's soft side for the first time.

And being interrupted by this unexpected scene, Isabella's mood gradually calmed down, and she realized that a lot of people here is not a good place to talk.

Pushing back the hair that had fallen out due to being too eager, the queen glanced at her daughter:

"Then Mr. Garriott, why don't we go to the secret room and discuss it again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Aiwen naturally had no objection, and got up to follow Her Majesty the Queen who was leading the way.

Liwena's face was blushing when she saw her mother's eyes that implied guilt and firm support. After stomping on their delicate high-heeled shoes, they followed them into the secret room in the Crown Prince's mansion where various witchcraft and magic spells were isolated.

Even a great wizard can't even think about being able to monitor this place.

"Trade inclination? Franchise rights? Large interest-free loans from the Royal Central Bank? Immigration policy support? The benefits that the Kingdom can offer will definitely satisfy you!"

"Big rivers are flowing and small rivers are full, and the strength of the kingdom has been strengthened. Isn't the Hou country also able to rise with the tide?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, I'm actually not interested in money. The thing I regret the most in my life is the establishment of the Mercury United Trading Company and Hephaestus."

"."

The three of them stayed in the underground secret room for two hours. Aiwen finally reached an agreement acceptable to both parties after a one-on-two haggling.

The two sides agreed:

Work together to formulate a shipbuilding plan, [Shipbuilding Engineering Code: Emerald Corona].

Aiwen is responsible for providing the main body of materials, and the Kingdom is responsible for making up the gap; then, with the help of the ancient "God of the Sun and Battle" and now the "Holy Angel" Belenus, the final extraordinary qualitative change and the awakening of the ship spirit are completed.

Nominally, the kingdom owns the new warship, but the actual ownership belongs to Anita Garriott as the captain. The kingdom can apply to the captain for war assistance when necessary, and during this period, Anita, as the captain, is also obliged to cooperate with the kingdom's political propaganda and force deterrence.

At the same time, the kingdom controls the propaganda direction, creates a glorious image of a female guardian "Emerald Light" for the kingdom, accumulates the power belonging to the [title], and paves the way for the real promotion of the [Title Knight] in the future.

Aiwen also needs to pay extra.

This can also be regarded as repositioning the relationship between the two parties, starting from the gradual transition from vassals and lords to equal partners.

After agreeing on the start time of the plan, Liwena personally came out to see Ivan leave.

Her Royal Highness wrought her hands together tightly, and it was obvious that she was still in a state of distress. In the end, he mustered up the courage to gently hold Ai Wen's clothes, widened a pair of innocent lake green eyes, and repeatedly emphasized pitifully:

"Aiwen, we have agreed that if the kingdom has enough materials in the future, you can help the kingdom build another one for free!"

She looks like a poor woman who is afraid of a man who will abandon her after all her life, but has no choice but to do so.

In fact, the price paid in this plan meant much to Rivina and the Kingdom of Phalatis, compared with it.

The rise time of Phalitis is too short, and his family background is too thin. Every copper foll can't wait to break it in half.

Cyrus, who owns 50% of the shares, has accumulated top-grade "treasure trees" for decades, and finally after building a [Crown of Miracles], the remaining materials are not enough to build a new ship.

Not to mention that the six countries of the original alliance can only share 30% of it together, and it is simply a drop in the bucket to use it to independently build ships.

Perhaps killing chickens and extracting eggs from the "Baoshu Bay" that has been actually controlled by them will indeed be able to gather enough materials, and there may even be a lot of surplus. But before the country is faced with a crisis of life and death, no one can do this kind of thing.

Unlike the boundless spiritual world, the material world has inherent limits to space and resources. The kingdom of Ilia has a lot of surplus financial funds, but the total size of the warships is still very ordinary, and the reason is the same.

Aiwen has even considered replanting part of the land in the [Witchcraft Garden] into a "treasure tree" that is in short supply.

The unique feature of their own [Witchcraft Garden]: [Natural Blessing] should be able to greatly shorten the growth cycle of plant-based materials such as "treasure trees".

However, as a kind of hardwood, oak has a long cycle to become useful.

Ordinary oak trees need at least 60 years to grow, and high-quality iron oak used to build battleships needs to grow for a hundred years. The "treasure tree" whose strength is comparable to that of special steel has a longer growth cycle, at least two hundred years.

Although "Baoshu Bay" is large, the output of "Baoshu" has not been high because of this limitation.

So even if there is [Witchcraft Garden] to spawn, it may take at least ten years.

This situation of restricting the expansion of warships should gradually change only with the development of the steel industry and the gradual launch of steam-powered ironclad ships.

However, it is still a little early to talk about steam steel warships, but there is another means of transportation that uses steam power, and three official wizards at the peak of the "Mechanical Immortal School" have already produced a prototype.

They have returned to Georgia ahead of schedule to start relevant terrain surveys to prepare for the final landing of this great invention.

Although it is true that the ownership of the colonies of the neighboring kingdoms does not belong to him, economic activities such as trade in goods have no boundaries. With the help of this kind of invention, it is enough to integrate the power of all twelve Phalatis colonies today, allowing Hou Guo to take the lead in taking off.

Then, get rich first and get rich later. Well, that's it.

This plan is perfect!

Thinking so in his heart, Aiwen turned around and grinned at the princess:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, when has someone as reliable as me let you down? By the way, don't forget to help me prepare for the 'charter' of the land development order. There are still many unowned lands in the New World waiting for me to go back and conquer Woolen cloth."

Feeling that the "seduction plan" was not going well today, Liwena, who almost doubted her own charm, finally clenched her fist and slapped him hard on the back after hearing Aiwen's last words:

"Pfft, I don't want to see you!"

In the next period of time.

With the rebellion of the "bourgeois" in Ilya, elites from all over the country have been able to see the opportunity of class hidden dangers.

Under the leadership of the Black Iron Cross Church, the Tulip countries headed by the Kingdom of Phalatis successively enacted bills and began to implement the top-level design of macroeconomics in Aiwen's "National Bourgeois Theory", and listed the prohibition of private capital entry. multiple industries.

All are industries related to people's livelihood, national security, and major economic development, such as banking, medical care, transportation construction, communications (post office), military industry, coal, shipping, etc., all of which are monopolized by the state.

Even members of the Upper Council are only allowed to maintain established industries in these areas and not expand their scale. Other private industries were bought and merged to become the embryonic form of super-large-scale state-owned enterprises.

With the lessons learned from Ilya, the implementation of the plan was unprecedentedly smooth.

And in the land of Ilia.

The original offshoot of the royal family, Charles I who fled to the neighboring country of Phalatis in advance, restored the Ilia dynasty under the protection of the alliance army, restored some of the king's rights, and re-established the [kingship].

But in essence, it is a puppet regime.

The people of Ilya, who persecuted the nobles in the "uprising" and were fooled by the bourgeois, became second-class citizens in the entire alliance.

Even if [King Quan] subjectively does not intend to continue to persecute these third-level people. However, the deprivation of the means of production and the lack of jobs for them have actually threatened their survival.

Moreover, although the original intention of the bourgeois is not to liberate the people, but to control the state apparatus to clear the way for their own fortune.

But when the so-called "uprising" was achieved by them for a short time, a new pursuit of "freedom and equality" did take root in the hearts of the people, opening a window for them.

so.

When survival was threatened, many Ilia people began to try their best to escape to the legendary land of gold - the New World. Although everything needs to be started from scratch when we get there, there is boundless land and countless opportunities, at least for ourselves and our family to survive.

It is not impossible to even gather the strength of relatives, friends, and fellow villagers to open up new lands and build an ideal home.

It's just that these ordinary people who have just embarked on a journey and are still looking forward to the future do not know that a large-scale [spiritual wave] has broken out again in their destination - that magical new continent.
