Here’s a great chapter, please give me your monthly votes and my recommendation votes on Monday!
Thanks to book friends "Dragon King in the Wind", "Heaven※*※ Ancient", "August Flying Snow", "God of Chaos" and "Swordsman" for their rewards...
In the eyes of discerning people, the Liber Kingdom and the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture actually have some similarities.
These two places are sandwiched between the two powerful countries of the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Kalvad. Both have weak military strength and cannot resist the attacks of the two countries head-on. Both have strong profits to covet, such as rich
Seven Glory Stone resources, such as Crossbell's financial resources, Liber Kingdom's guidance technology...
This is also the fundamental reason why Gao Xu brought Kross to "travel" in Crossbell. From Crossbell, we can see the shadow of the Kingdom of Liberty and its future trajectory.
Of course, there are many differences between the two. First of all, Liber is a country, and Crossbell is just an autonomous state. This determines that Liber can sign a non-aggression treaty to avoid war. Crossbell does not even have this qualification, and Libel is not qualified to do so.
As a long-standing country with a history of more than a thousand years, Bell has a heritage that Crossbell, which was founded less than a century ago, does not have. This ancestral glory may seem useless in military wars, but in fact, with clever foreign policies, it can maintain its relationship with both countries.
The relationship of reciprocity between major powers and the existence of a buffer state between the two countries that are full of smoke and smoke, Crossbell undoubtedly cannot achieve this.
However, the situation of the Kingdom of Liber seems to be okay for outsiders, and the taste of it can only be swallowed by oneself. It is quite sad that the Hundred Days Battle is the best example. The empire can just find an excuse.
Then he launched a war and occupied almost the entire country in less than a month. In the end, it was Cassius who turned the tide. To be honest, Cassius's military talent was part of it, and more importantly, it was external pressure. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Liberel would be reduced to
An autonomous state like Crossbell has become a vassal of the empire...
It was precisely based on this situation that Colonel Richard, who advocated military power, launched a coup when the Queen still relied on diplomacy as the basis for governing the country. Unfortunately, he was brainwashed by Wiseman and mistakenly believed that the third person under the palace was
The first seal is the sealed place of the Ring of Radiance. In fact, there is nothing there except the Guardian of the Ring? Fantasy Music~~
Although the coup in the kingdom was driven by the body-eating snake, it also reflected the hidden dangers of the Kingdom of Liber from the side. Queen Alicia's wish to coexist peacefully with other countries and ensure a stable life for the people is good, but a
The country's long-term peace and stability ultimately depends on hard power, especially in this special period!
Just as the red war ghost Sigmund said, the situation in various countries on the mainland is getting more and more tense, and the atmosphere of war is quickly approaching. All it takes is a fuse, and unrest is inevitable. This is a great time for the Jaeger Corps to be active!
The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. The peaceful era is gone forever!!
Covering one's ears and stealing the bell...has no effect at all!!!
Closer to home, after having lunch at Winsett Cafe, Gao Xu and Kross went to the municipal library in the administrative district. Kross began to look for books about the history of Crossbell, while Gao Xu picked out a few novels.
Looking through it leisurely.
Most of the next few days were spent in this way. Gao Xu used the escape method to take Kross back and forth between Janice King's College and Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, without delaying both.
Time has entered May 1202 of the Qiyao Calendar. When the protagonists Estelle and Joshua of Trails in the Sky are fighting against the sky pirate Capua and his family, the plot of Trails of Zero has progressed to Chapter 4? Quietly Attacking
The wisdom that comes from the past, the medicine of true knowledge left over from the last battle to annihilate the cult, is about to show its magical power again!
Gao Xu is not worried about the tasks related to the counterattack of the cult being handed over to the Chitian team. He has recently been studying the seals of the heavens and adjusting them to the best resonance point with Xuantian Qingyun Jue.
Waiting for an opportunity, they can all break through and try the feat of truly merging cultivation and ancient martial arts into one!
Gao Xu's current practice has already passed the stage of meditation. He practices practice when walking, sitting or lying down. Even talking about the situation on the mainland with Kolos is a complement to his outlook on life. In the past, he rarely touched on the whole world.
When it comes to the overall situation of the country and even the entire world, the vision is somewhat limited. Now that the continent of Samria is truly used as a chessboard, not only is the mind broad, but also the martial arts magnanimity has been sublimated.
After many days of traveling and seeing, the youthfulness in Kross's body was gradually fading away. At this moment, she and Gao Xu were talking face to face about Closbell's armaments, police, law, and taxation. Although there was a concealment between her eyebrows,
He looked constantly tired, but his energy was not bad. As his eyes moved, he already had a unique charm.
Kross was confused enough about the position of crown prince and the responsibilities she had to shoulder. Fortunately, after her parents' accident, she learned the most important quality from her grandmother - strength!
When you are confused, you have to go out and look for answers. No matter what decision you make in the end, you must at least have an accurate understanding of the future path and take that step. The tough and kind-hearted Grancel people do not need to hesitate and shrink!
"Which of the above points do you think is the most restrictive to Crossbell's development?" After listening, Gao Xu intended to test Kross. Kross pondered for a moment and said firmly, "It's taxation!"
"Oh, why not the law?" Gao Xu raised his eyebrows. If it were someone else, he had personally experienced the unscrupulous behavior of the Imperial people in Crossbell due to the protection of extraterritorial jurisdiction not long ago. He would definitely answer the law, Crossbell's
What is the basis for the opinion?
"Although the extraterritorial rights enjoyed by the sovereign state in the autonomous prefecture have caused various inequalities, there is still a necessary restraint on the surface. The police in Crossbell are not as incompetent as the rumors say. They are just limited by various obstacles and cannot show their full potential.
, the people still have tolerance for extraterritoriality!”
"But taxation is different. Since the Revolution of 2016, the continental countries have entered a new era, and the proportion of the economy has become more and more significant. Except for the special circumstances and the Artria Codex, which is mainly based on religious beliefs, any other country
Even in autonomous prefectures, sharp harvesting is the top priority!"
"Due to historical reasons, Crossbell must pay 10% of the tax to each of the two sovereign states in the name of mandated governance fees every year, which adds up to 20%. This has seriously affected the development of Crossbell!
The Erebonian Empire and the Calvard Republic are like two huge leeches, lying on Crossbell's body, desperately sucking the blood and grease of the people!"
"If things continue like this, there will definitely be a turmoil!"
Kross's point of view is to the point. Don't think that 20% is a small amount. If Crossbell is a barren town, it will be so-so. Anyway, the total is not much, and it does not hurt to remove one-fifth. However, Crossbell is
In a prosperous trading city with the most developed financial industry, 20% is a huge expenditure, enough to cause dissatisfaction among all the people.
Just like when the governments on earth do nothing, taxpayers will protest for their rights, not to mention that their taxes are taken away by other countries. Is it tolerable, but who can't be tolerated?
"Very good, very good!" Hearing this, Gao Xu nodded repeatedly. It was not that he simply praised Kross's thorough analysis of the problem, and pointed out the fundamental fuse of Kross Bell's reading ability in the near future, but this kind of
See the big picture without bringing in personal feelings!
Gratitude is the attitude pursued by many people, but at the national level, grudges are equivalent to acting emotionally. The consequences of acting emotionally will only lead to failure!
No one has absolute reason. Even gods and gods are inevitably affected by emotions. However, the head of a country must be as rational as possible and not use his own preferences as the criterion.
Put interests first!
This is why a wild man like Kou Zhong could not stand the restraint of the emperor, so he abdicated the throne that countless people dreamed of and gave way to a worthy person. The position of the emperor seemed extremely attractive, but for those who were incompetent, it would be difficult to sit on it.
A different kind of suffering!
But the small becomes the big, and Koros's journey as queen finally touches the edge.
After listening to Gao Xu's compliment, Kolos' pretty face blushed slightly, and she returned to the state of a beautiful girl in the blink of an eye. After standing up and saluting, she went to the guest room next to her to rest. The two of them are currently living in the Longlao Hotel, and the books in the library are
I applied for a library card and moved to my room to read.
After Kolos left, Gao Xu glanced at the books spread out in front of her, suddenly let out a light sigh, stretched out his hand to take a picture, and saw that it was written in beautiful handwriting:
“The pursuit of peace in turbulent times,
Seeking justice in a world full of fraud,
Give up romance, give up fantasy,
Keep your feet on the ground and do your best,
Grasp the future trajectory of the kingdom!"
"Only by having strong faith and breaking through all confusions can you be qualified to truly come into contact with the power of the Sky Treasure. Is this what Ceresto thinks? Kolos has indeed caught up with a magnificent era. The Kingdom of Libel
The future trajectory is in her hands!"
Gao Xu stood up and stretched without any image, and murmured: "The theoretical stage is finally over, and it's time to enter the next stage that reincarnations like most - the strength to implement the path!"
at the same moment.
The body-eating snake's super-large combat mothership? The interior of the red ark "Glorias".
Su Ying and Ling stood side by side on the maintenance track of the hangar, looking up at Patil Mathil, communicating through internal sound transmission.
After receiving the invitation from Dr. Novatis and the promise of benefits, Xiao Suying simply gave up the Guerrilla Association and joined the Body-Eating Snake.
She does not have a deceptive orb that can change roles in various major forces, so she must choose one. And with Tuoba Yuer and other daughters serving in the Guerrilla Association, it does not matter if she is missing. On the contrary, joining the Body-Eating Snake is very important to the War Fortress.
Perfection helps tremendously.
Su Ying's current identity is a technician of the Thirteenth Workshop, directly under the jurisdiction of Dr. Novatis, the sixth pillar of the Snake Apostle. She is equivalent to an assistant position, rather than an executor, a combatant such as a Jaeger unit or an iron fleet.
Due to her childhood experiences and her growth in the Yihua Palace, Su Ying's own personality is biased toward scientific research, and she doesn't particularly like naked life-and-death battles. During this time, she was at home in the Thirteenth Workshop, eagerly absorbing all kinds of things.
Guidance knowledge.
Su Ying is not interested in studying the science and technology system at the same time, but this does not prevent her from extracting some ideas suitable for mechanism art from the knowledge of force guidance. To reach her level, just like the peak of martial arts, every step of improvement is
It is crucial and extremely difficult to learn by analogy from different systems that are partly the same but also very different. It is definitely a rare and precious opportunity!
Of course, Dr. Novatis also benefited a lot. The biggest advantage of reincarnators compared to plot characters is that they can travel through different worlds and see many different world views. Even if they encounter bottlenecks, they can find new ways to solve them. The plot
The characters are limited by the shackles of their own world. How easy is it to have a sudden inspiration and break through the bottleneck?
The arrival of Su Ying and the narration of the mechanism technique became a flash of inspiration for Dr. Novatis, giving him extremely crucial inspiration.
While Novartis was overjoyed, he also gave Su Ying a very high level of authority. The Thirteenth Workshop was his one-stop shop, and it couldn't be easier to appoint a senior manager. From this point of view, Su Ying was a perfect example of intellectual superiority.
I don’t know how much better than ordinary reincarnations who do tasks to improve their positions...
At this time, Su Ying is using her authority to further strengthen Ling's Patil Matil. After all, Ling is the executor, and Wiseman is secretly keeping a close eye on her. Some things are not convenient for her to do by herself. Now that Su Ying has
Sakura is even more powerful!
As for the war fortress, it was fortified by Dr. Novatis himself. He had a fiery passion for the high-tech equipment of this Eastern country. In recent days, fanatical laughter has been heard from the studio~
~
Closer to home, in the original plot, Patil Matil's strength was not at Level 3 or Level 10 at the beginning, but was roughly around Level 7 or 8 (during the second part of Trails in the Sky). After experiencing the Shadow of Shadow
After the experience of the country and the strengthening of Rozan Belk's workshop in Zero Track, he has just reached the tenth level. Otherwise, he would not be able to die with the divine machine Oang γ-type between the third and fourth difficulty!
However, the situation in this world has changed. The Tianxing team has entered the trajectory of the sky again. No matter how other things are completed, Ling will definitely leave with Gao Xu in the end. So if Patil Matil doesn't strengthen quickly, he will pass.
There is no such store in this village!
"The part that Patil Mathil needs to strengthen most at present is the flight function. Regarding the diversification of flight devices, in addition to floating deployment, increasing the propulsion force of the booster has also been discussed and tested. Unfortunately, the drives of each part cannot be used from
It has been misappropriated from existing humanoid weapons, so it is difficult to achieve breakthrough development in driver development..."
Ling looked at dozens of staff members who were testing the newly installed anti-gravity device, but the response was still low. The old god sighed.
In terms of attack power alone, Patil Matil uses the guided energy cannon as the main body. The dual-light particle cannon can severely damage even Joachim in the demon's rampage state. In addition, there are multiple live ammunition weapons as reserve weapons.
, absolute fierce firepower!
In terms of defense, the external armor materials and armor plates are made of the alloy Koluda Steel. This alloy can achieve the highest performance in today's era in all imaginable areas. It is suitable for all environments and will not
Any crisis such as deformation and overheating is worthy of being a fantasy mecha.
Internally, in order to cope with the dangerous situation of the manipulator, it is specially equipped with a healing and resuscitation energy generation device using a tactical force guide, referred to as the regeneration system. To put it bluntly, there is water guidance magic inside at any time, specifically for the manipulator.
Restore health!
With such a detailed design, the only thing lacking is flight speed.
There is no way, it is difficult for big things to fly. Ling often looks forward to it. It would be great if Patil Matil could have the high maneuverability of the divine machine Oang β!
Of course, that is basically impossible. Even if it is upgraded to the fourth difficulty in the future, it is unrealistic, because the divine machine Oang β-type is an air combat type Gundam. After taking off, it can be transformed into a fighter mode. If we use an analogy, it is like a deformation.
Starscream in King Kong and heavily armed Gundams like Patil Matil belong to two different categories!
So the only practical thing is to strengthen it, make Patil Matil fly faster and more stable, and enhance the pursuit or dodge ability is very good. In this regard, Su Ying also has the same needs, Patil Matil's
If the flight function is successfully enhanced, she will have the opportunity to be transformed and used in war fortresses!
It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Su Ying does not expect Dr. Novartis to completely perfect the war fortress. It would be great to further strengthen it. In the end, she will definitely have to do it herself. If nothing else, there will be no space for the plot.
It’s a cheap thing where the character does everything for you~~
"Doctor has been very free recently, so he has time to engage in alternative research. When the alliance leader's mission comes, he will definitely be unable to escape!" Ling agreed with Su Ying's attitude. She didn't know much about the rules of space. After all, she was just
He has experienced a world of darkness and is a novice among the reincarnations, but it is not difficult to analyze the plan of the Body-Eating Snake. "The attitude of the Crois family is a bit unclear, but once they take action, the doctor and the three gods will
The plane is leaving for Crossbell immediately!"
"Really?" At this time, Gao Xu had not summarized the situation of Crosbell with Su Ying and the others. The two sides were divided into two groups with very clear goals. Naturally, Su Ying did not know the specific reasons for the unclear attitude of the Closbell family.
, However, Ling's words reminded her, her eyes flashed thoughtfully, and after a while, she slowly said, "The Body-Eating Snake's Phantom Flame Plan aims to drag the entire continent into
The turbulent era of the Flame Vortex, right?"
Ling nodded without knowing it.
"In this case, in the progress of the Phantom Flame Project, there is no difference in the result whether the three divine machines are used to frighten the two major military powers of the Empire and the Republic, or whether it is Patil Matil who takes action. Anyway, Patil Matil
It’s a fantasy mecha, why not use the fantasy power beyond common sense to solve the shortcomings of insufficient flight ability in one fell swoop and make it take a big leap forward?”
At this point, the corner of Su Ying's mouth raised, and she had already had the overall layout idea in a few breaths, and said with a smile: "The Zero Treasure is probably the perfect way for Patil Matil to advance to the fourth level of difficulty!!!
