Release that Witch

After nearly a year of preparation, today's No Winter City has been running at full speed like a war machine.

The demon moon can't stop the emerging king from madly absorbing the surrounding resources. The Executive Office thought that the 100,000 population was an unachievable goal, but after only one year, the urban population doubled. The injection of a large amount of fresh labor has driven the rapid expansion of various industries. As a result, four new chemical plants have been added, and the processing and assembly plants related to machinery have exceeded double digits.

According to statistics, the monthly salary of the Executive Office is close to 10,000 Jinlong marks. When Roland first arrived here, the largest income was only 24,000 Jinlong after the long song fortress was searched. In other words, the Duke of the West has accumulated half a lifetime of wealth, and now only two and a half months of salary.

Steam engines, paddle boats, perfumes and chaotic beverages constitute the main source of revenue. These goods are sold to the fjord and the four kingdoms through the joint chamber of commerce. Except for the remuneration that must be paid, the rest of the money is converted into a large number of raw materials and handicraft products. Money has come together to form a delicate balance, and the savings in the national treasury have shown a downward trend.

It can be said that this is a very uneven development model, but in the face of the threat of the war of gods, Roland's choice is not plentiful.

If the resources are not poured into heavy industry, the machine guns will not be able to shoot, and the artillery will never be able to shoot.

Only in this way will he have the strength to arm the entire army.

The first army that expanded from 8,000 to 10,000 was only the foundation, and the air force under the command of Tilly Wimbleton was also actively preparing. In addition, the "Military Call for Solicitation" and the "Mobilization Act" have entered the drafting stage. These two policies aim to improve the war potential of the Winter City without forcing the basic discipline training for ordinary students, workers and farmers. University military training in later generations. Although they can't be directly put on the battlefield, they can shorten the training time when they need to replenish their hands.

Since the specific time of the Red Moon is already showing a significant deviation, no one can determine when the war of divineness will begin. There may be four to five years of optimism, and the worst should be one or two years. For Roland, the biggest strategic goal at the moment is to turn the defense into an offensive when the Red Moon arrives, so that the war is burning in enemy territory.

Therefore, the devil who smashed the ruins of Taqila was the nail he had to remove.

In fact, material transportation and personnel transfer began gradually in the late winter and early spring.

The advantage of rail transit is here. Even if the snow covers the entire fertile plain, as long as the track is cleared, the war will be continuously transported to the front.

Most of the steel produced in the winter city has become a steel rail, and the lines hidden in the hidden forest have been laid. It can be said that only when Roland is ordered, the new Northern Expedition will be officially launched.

Both the military and the city are ready to go.

But before that, he still has two things to do.

......

On the second day after the end of the evil month, Roland received a request from the Thunder.

"Why, why are you going so fast?" He set up a relaxing afternoon tea office in the living room. While carrying Anna, he also sent an invitation to Margaret to the businesswoman who fits the lightning. There are only so many things he can help. "I can't wait to go to the shadowy waters to find out?"

"I know you can't," Thunder laughed calmly. "Every moment I maneuver a steel ship, I imagine it going against the sea breeze. If I can, I even hope to sail directly to the sea." line."

"In that case, halfway everyone will have to face the risk of short water shortages." Margaret shook his head helplessly. "The other group of chambers that have invested heavily in you will not be happy to see you in their fleet." Leave behind, unless you plan to never go back to the fjord."

"Haha, I just want to express my excitement to my majesty," he touched his chin. "As Margaret said, this adventure is not my own. After all, for the fjord, The development of the new sea area means opportunity and wealth. No commercial meeting will be tempted. This is probably the largest expedition in the history of the fjord islands. I can only prepare well if I return as soon as possible."

It seems that after the Thunder’s propaganda and recruitment, the trip to the sea has been turned into a group. Roland smiled and sipped his tea. It was the most famous explorer in the fjord. It was revealed that he could attract huge investment. “It seems that in just a few months, you have already known the steel ship.”

"Thanks to His Highness Anna," Thunder greeted Anna. "She has helped tremendously in the subsequent improvements to the hull. If it weren't for the eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a large iron ship would be more flexible than the Sancha sea boat."

"I also want to ask you one thing," Anna nodded. "This ship only sailed in the shallows off the sea. If you can, I hope to get a report on the deep sea area. Any problem can be solved. Recorded on top. It is best to use the new waterproof ink and sealant bag that is not available in Winter City, so that even if it falls into the sea, it can be completely preserved."

Probably I didn't expect the other party to make such a serious request. The Thunder smiled for a while. "I understand, please pack it on me, Your Highness."

Roland furiously touched Anna's head and then looked at the Thunder. "I just have one thing I want to entrust to you."

"You are told."

"I want to recruit a group of explorers."

“Not related to this adventure?” Thunder quickly realized.

“Yes,” Roland put down the teacup. “I want them to go to the endless cape.”

"I remember there was nothing but yellow sand and black water." Margaret was surprised.

"I used to think so..." Roland shrugged. "The endless cape can hardly meet any risks, so there is no need for experienced experts. It can be said that the number is more important than the ability."

Seeing that he did not elaborate on the reasons, the Thunder did not pursue it. "There are many people in this fjord. I don't know if the screening rules are..."

“No.” Roland replied, “It’s an explorer. In fact, anyone who wants to find novelty relics in the endless cape, no matter what, can be rewarded.”

"Even if it is a piece of ruin?"

"Nature, but only if it must come from the endless cape." He affirmed, "The more information the relic contains, the more rewarding it is. The message is valid for a long time, and as long as I am the King of the Grey Castle, it will surely be honored."

"With your words as a guarantee, the place may be crowded in the future." Margaret said with a smile. "I wonder if I took the opportunity to open a pub in Daqing Port?"

"Welcome to the extreme." Pulling the oil port economy is indeed one of Roland's purposes. After all, the civilization in the painting is at least 1,400 years old. Can you leave what is still unknown, and launch a reward-style recruitment? Undoubtedly a two-way approach.

"Right, Your Majesty," Thunder said. "Since the steel ship has passed the sea test and is officially put into use, does it have a name?"

"Of course, I intend to call it the Snowwind."

"Snow wind...?" The explorer indulged for a moment. "It's really a good name, but will it be too soft and does not match its steel body?"

“It’s just the right thing to do with softness and softness,” Roland couldn’t help but raise his mouth. “More importantly, this name contains the meaning of auspicious, and it will surely bring good luck to your trip to the sea.”
