Due to the establishment of the school's development route, Reinhardt, as the head of the Hamel-ryu family, does not need to show up in front of students and disciples. All affairs of the outer sect are managed like a modern enterprise.
Many students have also been directly assigned jobs by Rainbow Group to make a living.
The first-level swordsmen who stand out from the students are still far away from becoming disciples after entering Dan. However, in order to distinguish them from ordinary students, they are called "disciples" in common proverb.
The difference? Of course there is. After applying for the certificate and persisting in sweating in the gym for several months, the strength of the veterans can probably easily pass the physical examination of the quasi-guerrillas. Eat well, sleep well and practice well.
In terms of physical ability alone, the students would not even lose to the regular guerrillas. Although the style of painting was a bit wrong, only Ling himself was aware of this subtle feeling. Others regarded it as "changing with each passing day."
"Cross Bell" part, accepted it calmly.
Let me reiterate again, Crossbell's Budokan is a very huge and magnificent building. Although it is completely incomparable with the floating city of Sanqianya Mo, but just looking at the buildings on the ground, the area of the Budokan is larger than that of Samria.
There are only a handful of single buildings on the mainland. With a scale of 800 times 600 times, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a city within a city. Area A of the Budokan has been designated as Semilia
The first super gym is open to the public, while other areas continue to be blank.
According to the plan of Mr. Kilbart, Ling's top think tank at the end of last year, about one-third of the volume was reserved for "schools".
Let’s go back a little bit, it’s a leftover issue from last year’s martial arts conference.
As the chairman of the Erebonia Armed Forces Committee, Ling was appointed by Emperor Ukent as the First Secretary of the Empire to organize the first nationwide martial arts performance, which brought many previously unknown schools to the attention of the people.
in sight.
The martial culture of the empire has been around for eight hundred years since Emperor Hector. Since then, the members of the Knights of the Crimson Moon who went to conquer the Dark Dragon were granted the title of wealthy families in various places and have been passed down to this day, spreading from generation to generation.
Sanye, no one can count how many types and streams there are in the empire's warriors.
Martial arts is no longer limited to physical fitness and battlefield fighting. But understanding martial arts is a genre? This ambiguous understanding is just a potential unsettling factor for the imperial government. The imperial government, which even the Guerrilla Association could not tolerate, made a move in this regard
It was clearly stipulated and new laws were passed.
According to the bill passed by the House of Lords, in addition to the more than ten major schools with actual achievements such as Vandel style, Alside style, Xu Leiden style, etc., all large and small schools that emerged in martial arts competitions need to
Go to the imperial capital to register.
What exactly does it mean to establish a sect? The fact that a master of martial arts in my style accepts apprentices and passes on his own skills does not mean that he establishes a sect.
First of all, a real school should not be afraid of kicking. Every school needs martial artists who can take action, that is, a facade. The empire highly advocates swordsmanship, but swords have no eyes. According to the charter, killing the opponent in a competition is not considered a violation.
Imperial law. As soon as this law came out, the fake sects who were just playing for money were able to run away.
Secondly, a formal sect needs to have a mountain gate, a stronghold, and a dojo. Without even a fixed place for martial arts training, it is impossible to be recognized by the government.
Without official status, some small sects chose to go dormant, and some small sects chose to defect to other countries. However, the concept of the vast majority of warriors was that they neither intended to remain silent nor abandon their motherland.
At this time, Ling started to think crookedly towards those small schools that could not meet the conditions.
Prime Minister Osborne was very indifferent to this kind of thing. The only thing that made him object at first was that the location provided by Ling was in Crossbell. Ling and Osborne met with Osborne three times and failed to convince the stubborn prime minister.
Ling, who couldn't figure out Osborne at all, almost gave up the idea of incorporating a small school.
The turning point of the matter was another secret meeting between Crossbell Speaker Haltmann and Osborne when he visited the Empire. Considering the recent situation in the Crosby Assembly that the imperial faction has become more and more dominant in Crossbell over the past year. , further expanding the empire's influence in Crossbell by placing (exiling) small factions is also a strategy of the empire's soft diplomacy. After using it as a part of his expansion strategy, Osborne contacted Ling and The resettlement permit stamped with the seal of Emperor Jukent was sent to the Thors Military Academy, and was handed over to Ling from Van Dyck.
At the end of the martial arts conference, she stated that she would provide help to everyone in the name of the martial arts committee and rent ready-made dojos for free for everyone to use. Although the venue and food and clothing are provided free of charge, small schools also have their own considerations. Moreover, Based on the performance of each faction at last year's martial arts conference, the benefits of food, clothing, housing and transportation they received were completely different.
Two months later, many small sects with a small population moved to Crossbell with their families while retaining their Erebonian citizenship, and obtained temporary residence permits just like the Imperials living in Kezhou. In two months, the number of "tourists" who passed through the Galeria Fortress and entered Crossbell in the name of tourism was probably less than a thousand in total. For a population of more than half a million people, It was just a small splash in the city of Los Bell, but the entry of unrest still aroused the alarm of the ace officer Dudley of the search section of the police station. Mr. Kilbart went to meet with several imperial agents. The congressman was speculating on this matter, and before the Investigation Section 1 took formal action, due to the pressure exerted by the shady case, Mr. Senior Investigator had no choice but to give up the overt action and switch to covert investigation until now.
Over and over again, the small-scale martial artists who were both Ling's "tenants" and the secret agents of the empire gradually integrated into Crossbell's daily life after a few weeks. Watching these dozens of disciples of small and medium-sized schools perform martial arts and compete every day. , there are many outer sect students at the gym who no longer aim to become Hamel-style disciples, but directly switch to small schools and become their fresh blood.
One of them, Guan Qialing, did not tell Fei. And after Fei heard that several outer sect students went to the small sect's dojo to formally become apprentices to the teachers there, she became a little anxious.
"Master, isn't it going to be bad if this continues?"
"I, the superintendent, am not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"
After gently tapping Fei's forehead, and seeing the latter covering her forehead and squatting down in shock, Ling continued,
"The loss of potential disciples is also expected. My motivation is to build a platform, not to launch new products. We are currently in the stage of losing money and making money. This is an expected loss of early investment and human resources. Such as the scale of the platform
Now, the influence of this 'Martial Arts Alliance' is not limited to small and medium-sized schools, but can even affect large schools such as Xu Leiden Flow and Baldias Flow. Not only the Erebonian Empire, but the entire Sem.
Leah continent."
Ling remembers clearly that the fruit shop and sbeam on earth in her previous life, as well as the earlier Nintendo, Mega Hardware, etc., all relied on the power of the platform to become giants. The population of Hamel Liuxian is also small.
In just a few decades of hard work, it would be impossible to catch up with the Alside style, a brother sect that is also a branch of the Sandrot style, without resorting to some tricks. She relied on Osborne for her carefulness.
Only expansion policy can be carried forward.
"My long-term goal is to make the 'cake' bigger. Although many people have discovered that the number of warriors today is much smaller than a hundred years ago, no one intends to change this. The circle of warriors has always been very independent in the past.
state, but it is a fact that the cake is getting smaller and smaller.”
"The number of warriors is decreasing? Is it the influence of the Guidance Revolution?"
"It's not just guided guns and guided cannons. In fact, earlier gunpowder weapons already showed signs of this."
"Well, martial arts training is too hard, and there's no way to do it quickly. And it only takes a few months to learn how to use firearms before you can fight on the battlefield." Fei recalled the first time he participated in actual combat five years ago.
For us, the use of firearms is a common occurrence.
"Recently, more and more people are saying, 'Sir, times have changed.' Of course I know this. It is different from the situation during the Battle of the Lions 250 years ago. Today, the level of personal force has changed."
It is no longer the key to determining the outcome of the war. Even I cannot rely on my physical body to compete with the 4th Mecha Division of the Empire's regular army on a frontal battlefield."
When martial arts is no longer the decisive factor in war, it cannot be taken as seriously as it was in the past few hundred years. The sword was once the lifeline of the warrior, but that kind of scenery only remains in the silhouette of the past.
"If that's the case, isn't it inevitable that there will be fewer and fewer martial arts practitioners? No matter what you do, Master, you can't change the general trend of this era, right?"
After the dizziness subsided slightly, Fei returned to a standing position from a squatting position and asked with some confusion.
"Everything has two sides. The Imperial Military Intelligence Agency is afraid of Estelle's father not because he is a sword master, but because of his strategic ability as a commander. The level of personal force is no longer the decisive force on the battlefield.
This means that the military no longer regards martial artists as a threat and no longer attaches great importance to martial arts as before. That’s why I was able to win over the inheritors of small schools under the nose of the prime minister."
Ling glanced at the dozens of dojos lined up in the martial arts hall.
"The Guidance Revolution that started fifty years ago, the second Guidance Revolution that is currently underway, and the information revolution that is coming with the full coverage of the Guidance Network will surely make the concept of 'culture' more important than ever.
.If the concept of martial arts is packaged and promoted as a cultural teaching that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, it is possible for martial arts to shine with a new light. Even if martial arts are no longer needed on the battlefield, I can try to make martial artists become
star'."
"Does star mean the same thing as Sister Ilia from Rainbow Theater Company?"
"That's understandable." Ling nodded, "I am an insatiable person, and I am not satisfied with just getting stronger. If it is something that can make me happy, I will try it no matter how difficult it is. That said
Do you understand?"
"Well, it's a bit convoluted. But I can probably understand it. I can't think about it this way." Apart from people close to her, Fei doesn't think about deeper issues. The future of the industry? The future of mankind? She is indifferent to these.
.
"I'm just being myself, and Fei just needs to be Fei."
As she stands taller, her vision becomes different. Not only does she want to expand the Hamel flow founded by Levi, she even plans to pursue prosperity beyond others.
There was still time to do this before the Phantom Flame Project started. After the Phantom Flame Project officially started, she would be busy with things there and could not distract herself from the construction of the school.
