"Xu Yi... Although I know that your ideas have always been different before, but this time..." Sevini frowned slightly, looking at Xu Yi with deep confusion. "But this time... is it too different?"
"Why don't you just say I'm crazy like everyone else." Xu Yi spread his hands and smiled easily: "Anyway, this isn't the first time I've been told that."
"Of course you've been used to it for a long time." Sevigny rolled his eyes at him. "But I still can't understand why you made this decision?"
"Is it difficult to understand?"
"Of course it's hard to understand!" Seeing Xu Yi still looking relaxed, Sevini seemed a little angry. "Military magic machinery is such an important thing, but now you actually promise to let other countries master the method of manufacturing military magic machinery. How do I understand this? You just like to give away these things that are very important to you. Give it to others? Not to mention this time’s military magic machine manufacturing technology, the previous manufacturing technology of cement, various household magic machines, etc. Is it fun to do this?”
Xu Yi was a little surprised by Sevini's sudden and violent reaction. He glanced at her in surprise and asked: "Sevini, the one who benefited the most from these things before... is the Kingdom of Lampali..."
"So I was very happy with your previous decision, but this time, I am very unhappy!" Sevini said seriously. "And the military magic machine manufacturing technology you intend to transfer this time is much more important than anything before. Before you do this, have you considered the position of our Lampali Kingdom? Have you considered my ideas? ?”
Xu Yi couldn't help scratching his head. My heart was filled with confusion.
Sevigny's tone and tone when he said this were a bit strange...
"This... Sevini. Although I have decided to let other countries on this continent also master the manufacturing technology of military magic machinery, I have put forward a prerequisite for them, that is, they must have a certain industrial foundation. This so-called The industrial base is still determined by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is divided into levels. We will only disclose certain technical information to them at a certain level, right?"
"Of course I know. But after all, this will allow other countries to master military magic machines, right? Ordinary small countries are fine. If big empires like the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire also master relevant technologies, what do you think? What will happen?" Sevigny asked.
"It won't happen." Xu Yi shook his head. "It is by no means easy to build a certain industrial base and create a complete industrial system. You know this better than anyone else. In other words, even if other countries choose to join this plan, they will never be able to surpass them in terms of military magic machinery. The Lampali Kingdom cannot threaten you."
"Really?" Sevini let out a soft sigh. After a moment of silence, he smiled again, nodded to Xu Yi and said, "Okay, I know your dream has always been to use magic industry to change this world. A continent, so that the lives of everyone on the continent will be improved because of the magic industry. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing now, but Xu Yi, have you ever thought that this is not very efficient? "
"Not efficient?" Xu Yi was startled. "What's the meaning?"
"Although all other countries on the continent are very interested in military magic machinery, you use this to lure them to vigorously develop the domestic magic industry. There will definitely be support from many countries. But each country's strength is different, and those who cooperate with this plan The determination is also different. I am afraid that in the end, it will be good if half of the countries are really willing to invest enough manpower and funds in this.”
"I gave them a chance to choose. If they don't want to, then I can't help it." Xu Yi shrugged, spread his hands and said: "But if they are eliminated by the world because of falling behind, then it will be terrible. You can’t blame me.”
"If that's the case, then why don't you just choose a country to give full support and use the powerful advantages of military magic machinery to unify the entire continent, and then naturally promote the magic industry?"
Xu Yi looked at Sevigny in shock: "Are you talking about yourself?"
Sevigny nodded without hesitation.
"Yes. Xu Yi, our Lampali Kingdom now has a very good magic industry foundation. As long as you give us more support, we can easily create a complete magic industry system. If you are willing to If we are given more support in terms of military magic machinery, I believe we can easily defeat the surrounding countries and smoothly develop the magic industry into the surrounding countries. If we are given enough time, we can finally unify the entire continent. It’s not impossible.”
Xu Yi stared at Sevini seriously for a while and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Sevini, you are Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampali Kingdom. From your standpoint, it is normal to have this idea. But if I really plan to do this, the Malo Empire is actually far better than the Lampali Kingdom. Plenty of choices, right?”
"But the relationship between the Malo Empire, you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is far less profound than between us." Sevini smiled.
"No, relationships can be cultivated. I believe that the Maro Empire will be very willing to cultivate this relationship with us." Xu Yi still shook his head.
Seeing that Sevini was about to speak, Xu Yi raised his hand to block her next words, and said seriously: "Sevini, I understand what you are thinking, and in fact I have had this idea before..."
"Then why are you unwilling to do this?" Sevini couldn't help but asked.
"Because... after careful consideration, I found that this approach is very inefficient." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Sevini looked puzzled. "As long as you are willing to fully support us, with the power of military magic machinery, no country can resist us on the battlefield, and conquering other countries will not be difficult at all."
"You're thinking too much..." Xu Yi shook his head. "Sevini, you are the queen of the Lampali Kingdom, so you should know better than anyone else. Tell me. How much did the Lampali Kingdom spend during this war between the Lampali Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom?"
Sevini was startled. The expression on his face changed several times, and he finally responded in a low voice with a slightly depressed voice: "According to statistics from the Finance Department, the total is about 4.7 million gold coins."
"You see, this war only lasted less than a month. The process has been very smooth, but a full 4.7 million gold coins have been spent. If it were a larger-scale war, it would last longer. "How much do you think it will cost?" Xu Yi asked.
Sevini frowned slightly. He retorted unconvinced: "But we can still get enough compensation from the Sark Kingdom. Together with other gains, the final income will far exceed the 4.7 million gold coins spent. In general, this It’s still a profit. Is there anything wrong with that?”
"But you have to invest heavily in the seven cities you received from the Kingdom of Sark, right? Tell me, including the investment, do you dare to say you have made a profit?"
Sevini didn't answer in silence, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Xu Yi, I don't understand what your question has to do with what you said before."
"It's very relevant." Xu Yi said seriously. "With the current strength of the Lampali Kingdom, it would be so difficult to completely conquer a Sak Kingdom. If you want to conquer the entire continent... how long do you think it will take?"
Sevigny could only remain silent again.
She knew it. What Xu Yi said makes perfect sense.
Although there is no shortage of countries in the history of Sainz Continent that have conquered the entire continent purely by force, such countries are all short-lived. Can't last long.
And even for such a country, it took many generations and hundreds of years of accumulation to achieve such strong strength, and it was by no means achieved overnight.
Although the Lampali Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, it has always been an extremely poor and weak small country with no such foundation at all.
Even though they can now gain an absolute advantage on the frontal battlefield with the powerful military magic machines developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, war will never only decide everything on the frontal battlefield. What is really important is what is outside the battlefield.
Such as logistical supplies, external political environment, such as...
It may be okay to win one or two battles, but if you want to win more battles in a row and eventually conquer other countries, that is not something that can only be solved by relying on military magic machines.
"I know... our Lampali Kingdom is too weak compared to other countries on the mainland, and it is impossible to provide you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with a very good support like the Malo Empire, but Xu Yi, you really can't wait. Are you up?" Sevini sighed leisurely.
Xu Yi showed a wry smile, lowered his head and thought for a moment, walked two steps to Sevini, raised his hands and put them on her shoulders, stared into Sevini's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Sevigny, if you must If I were to choose a country on the Sainz continent to fully support, I would definitely choose the Kingdom of Lampali, for no other reason than because you are now Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Lampali.”
Sevini trembled slightly, her eyes filled with hazy water.
"Then why did you..."
"But as I said just now, it will take too long to realize my ideal by relying on the Lampali Kingdom alone. I can't afford to wait. Even if I can break through the limit and become a magician, it will only last a hundred years in my life. More than a third of the time has passed, so in the remaining two-thirds, I must hurry up and do everything possible to promote this ideal as soon as possible... Can you understand me? "
Seeing Xu Yi's sincere eyes and feeling the warm breath exhaled from Xu Yi's nostrils due to the close distance, Sevini's eyes became even more blurred.
After being silent for a long time, Sevigny nodded slowly.
"Well, since this is your decision, I won't say anything else."
"So... let's stop talking here today. You seem to be in a bad mood today. Please pay more attention to rest. I'll go back first." Xu Yi put down his hands, said goodbye to Sevini and left.
Sevini did not stop him, but stared blankly at Xu Yi's departing back for a long time. When he was far away, he murmured in his mouth.
"Fool, do you know that I have no interest in the power of the Lampali Kingdom? All this is for you... and the children?" (To be continued...)
