Orphans have always been a problem. Midland has no concept of investing in the future. Most people only see immediate uses. So the only people who would accept orphans in the past wanted to use the children to beg, steal, or give them as gifts.
A powerful person with special quirks.
However, there is a freak in this era. Most of these children were transported to the holy city of Estali by the empty convoy of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce on their way back. A certain elementary school had no restrictions and was open to shelter.
Except for those children who are shrewd enough to think that they can survive on their own, escaping from adults' persuasion or capture. Those who are stupid, or those who are looking for a chance of survival, are all getting into cars or trucks heading towards an unknown future.
Don’t think that the refugee problem can be solved quickly by simply dividing people into several categories. In fact, how to classify different individuals, how to deal with them, and how to arrange them to follow the processing procedures is the real trouble.
The so-called administrative efficiency is a very mysterious thing. Even the most advanced countries will have sloth-like civil servants. Or even in a medieval and feudal era background like Rumi, an astonishing explosion can occur.
Efficiency, the refugee issue will be dealt with quickly.
The main reason for being so anxious is because the Gwana Empire also needs to seize the time to build an effective defense line.
The natural barrier to the north, the Fengdi Mountains, once protected the Gwana Plain, the birthplace of civilization, from the attacks of the barbarian peoples in the north. It was like a natural Great Wall.
On the top of this natural Great Wall, there are cold winds that cut people's skin all year round. Not many living things can survive in this environment for a long time, let alone reproduce and grow.
This is a curse originating from magic. The curse was imposed by the ancient emperor who once ruled the plain where civilization originated. He cursed the barbarians in the north and the barbarians who trampled their iron hoofs on the land. The mountains formed a natural barrier, making the
It is difficult for barbarians to invade south.
Even if they cross the mountain range through a few passes, the return journey will be equally difficult. The invading barbarians will eventually die in the south they dream of.
Now facing the demon coalition, what the Gwana Empire has to do is to strengthen the defense system of the fortresses and magic towers in front of the mountain passes. Then, let its hinterland form a large military camp instead of a breeding ground for demons and orcs.
The more complete these preparations are, the better. Therefore, the old emperor of the empire did not worry too much about the refugee issue. The power he held also suppressed dissent within the empire to a minimum. At most, these people said something more conservative
opinions, but no one dares to hold an objection.
The former territory of the Rizal family was also the foundation of a great duke. But since a big explosion twelve or thirteen years ago blew up Rizal Castle and the entire family's dignitaries, this territory and title returned to the hands of the emperor.
.
The Risa Territory and the Kawei Territory next door are the last barrier for the Gwana Empire to face the threat from the north. When the demon alliance defeats the Grand Duke guarding the border, what follows is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, the birthplace of the oldest civilization, and it will be as if it is undefended.
Likely exposed to the abyss of greed.
This is unacceptable.
Under the command of the new Grand Duke, the Kawei family territory lived up to its reputation as a military family and made various war preparations in an orderly manner.
Perhaps defense alone cannot solve the war, but waiting for work is the easiest way. Anyone who knows the opponent's goal of advancing but stubbornly gives up the geographical advantage and goes out to meet others is a fool. The Kawei family does not have this kind of thing
Incompetent offspring.
The Risa Territory was handed over by the emperor to his most trusted general for military management.
Ricardo Calvi, the undefeated commander of the empire, the extraordinary man who surrendered all his noble titles. As the commander of the north, he settled in this territory that once belonged to the enemy.
The old Grand Duke only has temporary management rights, rather than an actual title. But for two generations of father and son to control the power second only to the emperor in an empire, other nobles will of course be wary.
But reality prevents them from using the means of political struggle on this father and son who only know how to fight.
The reason is simple. The opponent is a demon. Orcs and the like are just incidental. The real enemies are the group of evil creatures from the abyss and the Lord of the Abyss who has descended on the Lost Land.
So the emperor sent his most trusted general, who was also the most powerful general in the empire, to stand on the front line. Who could say anything?
If he is dissatisfied, he directly replaces someone in that dangerous position, and the old emperor smiles and says nothing. If he dares not to die on the battlefield, or defeats the enemy and wins, then the title and territory in the emperor's pocket will increase.
.
As for the family territory that was destroyed in the hands of the old Duke, when its citizens faced the threat of demons, they had no intention of resorting to any measures to hold them back.
After all, almost all those who were die-hard loyal to the Risa family died in that shocking explosion. Even if the remaining people were loyal to the old Risa family, their degree of loyalty was limited. In a foreseeable war against demons, how could they?
May not choose the option that has a better chance of survival.
The dead Grand Duke Rizal cannot protect anyone. On the contrary, the old Grand Duke Kawi is the invincible God of War of the empire. It is self-evident which side you stand on to have more chances of living.
Of course, the old Duke had no intention of sacrificing all the old people led by Risa. He was passionate about war and behaved more purely when faced with many things. After everyone in the Risa family died, he let go of his hatred.
The reason why he appears on this land now is really to share the worries of the empire, the emperor, and the friends he grew up with when he was young, and to resist the invasion from the abyss. With all the arrangements and arrangements, no one, no matter how picky, can find them.
Something went wrong.
It was the old Duke's idea to help several small countries adjacent to the empire. In addition to these small countries occupying the strategic pass of the Fengdi Mountain Range, it was also a very important consideration not to bring the flames of war to their own land.
No one wants to go to war. If it is necessary, then no one wants to fight on their own territory. Because war is never a game where the enemy and we line up and fight for a while on a certain battlefield.
It involves a wide range of aspects and has a profound impact. Especially in Lost Land, every battlefield that has experienced bloody battles will become a filthy land where the undead roar day and night.
In such a land, where no living people are allowed, nature withers, and sometimes even highly adaptable monsters cannot survive. Only by spending greater efforts to purify it can this land be returned to the hands of the living.
】
In view of the two incentives of geographical location and war on other countries' territories, the emperor agreed to lend a helping hand to help those few small and barren countries.
Especially now that the demon coalition has reached the other side of the mountain and the last human power on the other side is being wiped out, there is not much peace left for the emperor.
On the busy fortress construction site, the most eye-catching thing is not the transport fleet of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, nor the team of craftsmen from the Holy City Estari Technology Guild, but the fast airships flying back and forth in the sky.
In fact, the name of the Automobile R&D and Manufacturing Center is now somewhat misrepresented. The Sid that Lin once transformed belongs to the Gauss Bertone in the Southwest Peninsula. These fast airship technologies have also become the reserve of the center, and
Create new generations of airships one after another.
After someone stays in the Lost Land voluntarily or involuntarily, his behavior is quite a bit unrestrained. Some of the techniques that were previously hidden are no longer so strictly guarded. Of course, this is also because these techniques are no longer looked down upon.
.
The airships produced by these centers can almost be regarded as not for sale. Because the keel of each ship has not been laid, its buyer has been decided. And the biggest customer is of course the Haider Empire, which is the leader in airship legion.
The great empire of Lost Land.
If it weren't for the existence of a certain magician behind the Auto Center, the Haider Empire would have already used some unscrupulous methods to bring the Auto Center under its control. Even if the center is located in the holy city of Estali, this place is run by a magician.
Neutral city.
It's a pity that no one dares to offend a man who 'digged' the territory of an empire's Grand Duke, causing the title and family to disappear completely from the world. The Grand Duke Frias of the Karlsruhe Empire in the south was bloody.
Example.
Since you can't afford to offend, then buy it. In addition to buying, the engineers in the poaching center are also poaching at the same time, and the Haider Empire has further upgraded its R&D department and introduced new knowledge and new technologies.
In the past twelve years, no matter how well the knowledge and technology of the Automotive Center is protected, it will inevitably spread outward. This is inevitable and is also the foreseeable future.
All Lin can do is to urge the center to maintain its leading position in technology, rather than entering the ivory tower and being complacent. As for building a business empire with completely closed technology, just think about it. How can it be possible in reality?
And it doesn't make sense either.
Competition is always the most beneficial driver for promoting progress. Monopoly will only produce arrogance and exploitation, and then aging and decadence. As someone who is not the biggest vested interest, a certain time-traveling public has no intention of creating a trust monster or a business empire.
Besides, in this world where finance and business have not yet taken over everything, too much money will irritate the eyes and cause trouble. It is foolish to take trouble for the sake of spending endless money!
The result of someone's indulgence is that the technology of fast airships and automobiles can be obtained by anyone who is willing.
But having the technology in hand does not mean that the most advanced cars or airships can be produced. The skills of the craftsmen and their understanding of new technologies are all factors that determine the quality of the finished product.
None of these can be perfected by poaching just one or two people. Neither cars nor airships can be built by just one or two people.
The R&D and manufacturing systems of the Automobile Center and the virtuous cycle of technical competition of the Technology Guild are the reasons why the Holy City of Estali can maintain its technological advantage.
However, even if the Auto Center's technology has advantages, its production capacity is not enough to cover the entire country. The works of those imitators who have only half-learned the technology can only run on the road or fly into the sky.
After the forum improved the speed of information circulation in the Lost Lands, cars and airships also gradually improved the movement speed of people in the Lost Lands, making traveling far away no longer so difficult.
But even if the technology is semi-open, fast airships have not become popular enough for everyone to have one, and their use is also quite expensive.
But for those strong men who are willing to participate in the war, this fee is nothing. Even two generations of Kawei Gong were able to reimburse the airship expenses for some famous strong men.
Once again, adventurers from all over the Lost Land gathered again. And some precious magical materials that could be used in war were also transported to this predetermined battlefield along with the airship.
