The combat effectiveness of the Spark Legion far exceeds the limitations of this era. Whether it is ideas, tactics, or organizational form, it is far beyond this era, not to mention their equipment. It is simply beyond the countless streets of this era.
After the first easy victory, the Spark Legion's confidence was also boosted. Although they were still overly cautious when formulating tactical plans, even new recruits were not overly nervous when executing tactics.
Lan Nuo led them, and it took less than three months to pacify all the landowners in the two places, and established a relatively complete grassroots management system in the local area.
At present, the structure of this management system is all supported by the clones of Lanno, but with the popularization of basic education, this structure will be replaced bit by bit, and eventually the self-sufficiency of talents will be realized.
The number of the Spark Legion has also reached 25,000. Although the number of the army is only half of the previous Red Dust Legion, when they show the sword and plow logo on their wrists, the strength they gather is greater than that of the 50,000 Saint Legion. The dragon army is much stronger.
The most important thing is that this power was created by Lan Nuo himself. The beliefs upheld by the soldiers are very consistent with his, and it is easy to integrate. It is not as difficult to use as the power of the Holy Dragon Legion, but can be sent and received freely.
With such an army behind him, after pacifying the Sun and Moon Continent, Lan Nuo took them back to Douluo and was confident that he could face most of the troubles on the continent.
However, now that the Sun and Moon Allied Forces have given up their attack, if Lan Nuo takes the initiative to invade, the war will lose its justice. Other legions can fight for the glory of the nobles. It is natural to open up and expand the territory. As for the war causing the displacement of the people What does it have to do with them?
But the Spark Army is still not good. The thoughtful army is indeed stronger, both in terms of combat effectiveness and spiritual will. But they also have a problem, that is, they cannot participate in a war that does not suit them.
There is no doubt that unreasonable war of aggression is what they are opposed to, and Llano cannot force them to initiate a war.
But this matter is actually not that difficult. Although the Sunlight Empire and the Moonlight Empire are now scared away by his super weapons and dare not attack, Lan Nuo has 100 ways to make the people of these two empires take the initiative. Launch a war of aggression.
When the time comes, wouldn’t it be great to fight a great Patriotic War? Didn’t the original Patriotic War also directly hit the enemy’s capital during the counterattack? It was also an army with only ideas and its own beliefs, but But there was no question about such an order.
Presumably the Spark Legion would not mind driving away the fierce heat while completely eliminating the possibility of the invaders launching an invasion.
But if you want the two empires to take the initiative to launch a war, naturally they must use war to obtain benefits, that is, they must use economic means to severely cut the oil of the two empires.
This is too simple for Xinhuo Camp, where the industrial system has gradually been improved. As early as when the industrial system was just beginning to explore, Lannuo had already tacitly allowed some people to engage in the production of civilian goods. Under the framework of the planned economy, An area was drawn and left to the market economy.
But now, these people who got rich first are eagerly staring at the huge markets of the other two empires. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the two empires have accumulated countless wealth, and the lives of their nobles have changed after experiencing industrialized life. From the perspective of the capitalists, it is simply too boring.
Therefore, the newly established Dukedom of Xinhuo began a major economic construction, and the first thing to do was to build roads.
This aspect had already begun when the Xinhuo Camp was first built. However, at that time, there was no base in the interior, and it was difficult to coordinate with the powerful landlords in various places. When roads passed through their territories, various problems would occur.
The dispute caused the construction progress to be very worrying.
But now, no matter where they go, the construction team from Xinhuo Camp will definitely receive a warm welcome. If they want to build a road, they can just draw a piece of land and there will be no problem without compensation for the project. The road will be built quickly.
Get out! Never let an engineering team be stationed near your own territory.
This is the consensus reached by all the landowners and gentry on the mainland. The fate of the landowners in the Duke of Xinhuo is clear to these people. The new Duke seems to have a grudge against the landlord class, but he only abides by the empire's rules.
The law has not crossed the line, but who knows if this guy dares to cross the line? The new Duke is famous for his strong military force in the empire, which can be seen from the fact that he pacified the entire territory in three months.
Naturally, powerful landowners from all over the world quickly sent the engineering team away with the mentality of sending off the plague, fearing that if they accidentally offended them during the construction process, they would suffer the disaster of destroying their families and destroying their families.
This enabled the road, which was originally being constructed very slowly, to be completed in a short time.
On the one hand, reinforced concrete is indeed suitable for rapid road construction. On the other hand, there are a large number of earth-type soul masters in this world, and their martial souls are very suitable for road infrastructure.
Especially with a large amount of prepared cement, the paving speed of roads is faster than the speed of modern construction, and the supporting facilities on the roads are also readily available.
Landowners from all over the country soon discovered that although the construction of this road occupied their land, it did give them considerable compensation. The most important thing was that their manors became one of the important service stations around the road.
, with the opening of roads, some clever landowners directly transformed the farmland near the streets and built trading towns or service stations to provide rest and settlement places for long-distance freight drivers.
You can make a lot of money immediately, and even make the surrounding area rich.
Now even those unreasonable guys can see that road construction can definitely promote local economic development. Now everyone hates why they didn't let the engineering team build the road next to their house. Just thinking about it
Thinking that one-third of an acre of land is no longer worthwhile after it is occupied, I forget that geographical advantages are the capital that can last for generations.
Of course, there are also quick-thinking people. The engineering team at Xinhuo Camp can build roads, why can’t they themselves?
It’s not that you can’t hire soul masters with earth attributes, and it’s not that you can’t buy cement. It’s not easy to connect one on the main road. So, in order to deal with this situation, a row of tolls have been added on both sides of the highway.
Station, we can't really let the officials maintain the entire road for a lifetime, and infrastructure construction doesn't do that.
The rapid economic prosperity has caused a large number of landless people to flow into the cities. Today's prosperous cities can already support these migrant workers. This also means that the productivity of factories in the cities is increasing, and cheap labor is driving industrialization.
of rapid development.
Currently, the place with the greatest demand for workers is the Duchy of Fire. This territory is like a bottomless pit that will accommodate no matter how many people come, as if it can hold the entire continent.
According to Lan Nuo's plan, it is definitely not a problem to support 2/3 of the entire continent's population in his own territory, but he estimates that when there is no need for development, the sun and moon coalition forces will again be unable to resist attacking his territory.
.
In fact, even after they had just begun construction, the two empires already felt something was wrong. To be precise, the emperors of the two empires felt something was wrong. The imperial nobles were actually very happy because the industrial center began to shift. The industrial products
The transportation distance is greatly shortened.
This also means that the price of imported goods that used to be expensive has dropped significantly and has become very cheap.
Since buying at low prices is not a problem for individuals, it is only natural that they buy things when they earn money.
But for the country, the situation is not good. The entire country is importing industrial products on a large scale, which also means that the large amount of precious metal wealth accumulated over the years is being wildly plundered by its neighbors.
Although it is not well understood in terms of economics, it can be easily judged that the gold and silver treasures in the national treasury have decreased. This is definitely not good news for the royal families of various countries.
But they couldn't resist the temptation of cheap industrial products and went crazy to buy them. They were so delicious. What could they do?
Large mirrors that are more than 3m high and 2m wide were considered national treasures in the past. Although they are very expensive now, they are guaranteed to be delivered within one month as long as you order them.
A complete set of home decoration equipment, including air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, and lighting equipment. As long as you spend money, a professional decoration team will come to decorate and replace it. You can also customize your own decoration, and you can transform it into a palace without spending much money.
It's an ordinary style. Who can resist this?
Even the royal families of the two empires have customized the most advanced electric soul hybrid energy system in their palaces, and hired people to install central air conditioning and a series of equipment to demonstrate the royal majesty.
But what's the price? Everything has been marked with a price, and the luxurious life of the nobles of the two empires must come with a price.
Even if industrial products are cheap, they are still industrial products. There are absolute forks and scissors for agricultural products. A steelmaking plant can produce tens of thousands of tons of steel a year, and the supporting processing plants can process them into various products.
Such industrial products, not to mention being processed into engines and vehicles, even if they are only processed into scissors, kitchen knives, pots and pans, after they are sold, they will definitely be a huge fortune.
And if the same number of people work not in factories but in farmland, and the agricultural products produced are sold on the market, the money they get can buy one-tenth of the amount of these industrial products, which is already huge.
.
If the two empires used the wealth gained from selling agricultural products to purchase industrial products, they would be being exploited by Lan Nuo invisibly.
However, apart from agricultural products, they really have nothing to sell. They are all feudal agricultural countries. Apart from agricultural products, the only things they can sell are minerals. As for handicraft products, although various luxury goods are now known as
It is purely handmade and sold very expensively, but if you look at the output value of related industries, you will know that luxury goods are completely inferior to bulk commodities. This thing only looks glamorous, but in fact it cannot be sold on the market.
Excluding luxury goods, when comparing handicraft products with industrial products, no matter in terms of quality or price, they cannot be sold. At most, they are consumed domestically, and no one may be willing to buy them.
The result of this is that the two empires are getting poorer and poorer. The export of agricultural products and minerals will never catch up with their demand for industrial products. So what should they do if they want to meet the demand? They can only empty their gold reserves.
Silver, a rare treasure, was exchanged for industrial products.
But the reserves are limited after all! What should the princes and nobles do if they are poor and want money? Work in the factory? That is what we ordinary people think. How can the princes and nobles choose to work in the factory in person? Of course they are
Crazy exploitation of its own people and desperate efforts to raise taxes.
The result of doing this is that the people in the territory are unable to survive. The people in the territory simply cannot survive under such a high tax burden. Although this continent has a good enslavement education for ordinary people, many people do not dare to rebel even if they starve to death, but their lives are lost.
Otherwise, there are always some people who can't stand this situation.
As a result, the two empires, which were prosperous on the surface, were already at war with each other, and conflicts were constantly accumulating.
As an empire, the best way to resolve internal conflicts is to launch wars, invade foreign countries, plunder, acquire a large amount of land and wealth, and then drive out those who cause trouble. With more wealth, you can
After maintaining a living, domestic conflicts will be calmed down, at the cost of the people of the invaded country being displaced and their families destroyed.
But what does this have to do with them? As long as their aristocratic position is secure and as long as they can still enjoy themselves extravagantly, what does the life and death of others matter?
Not only that, the huge wealth that Lan Nuo led the people to create in the territory was like a cake covered with honey and cream, which released an incomparable attraction to the two empires, just like a bear hugged by a bee.
The danger of being stung is like digging out a honeycomb. Although they were threatened by terrifying super weapons last time, the two empires obviously will not curb their ambitions.
Lan Nuo could feel that the war was about to break out. The situation of the two empires had become quite bad under his own economic colonization. Therefore, before the war broke out, he began to inspect the territory and prepared to transform the territory's industry from civilian production to war.
time system.
Although the Red Alert Base is easy to use, Lanno bird food is based on the principle of using it as much as possible. This is like dumping products from developed industrial countries to backward industrial countries. The backward industrial level will lead to the backward countries not being able to sell any goods.
, if the Red Alert Base is abused, Lanno's own industrial system and military industry will not be able to develop. Therefore, when the war is at an advantage, the large number of soldiers produced by the base will not be put into the battlefield.
