Chapter 21 Candela Infrastructure Committee

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again. All parts of the Candela Empire have begun to make various preparations for the arrival of the New Year. Wimbledon, the capital of the empire, is no exception.

Like in previous years, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire announced in advance the policy of benefiting the people that will be implemented in the empire next year to inspire the spirit of the people in the country, and also for the upcoming New Year.

However, unlike in previous years, among the people-friendly policies announced this year, in addition to the usual pardons for a small number of people, announcing which cities will reduce tax rates next year, opening granaries to help refugees, etc., two policies have received special attention from many people.

The first is that the Kandera Empire has reached a formal cooperation agreement with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, which will officially enter the Kandera Empire to invest from March next year.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will first build a Xinfei Magic Industrial Base outside Wimbledon City, which will open a farmland magic machinery manufacturing factory, an engineering magic machinery manufacturing factory, a household magic machinery assembly workshop and a large steel mill.

Although before this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had actually invested and built two bases in the Kander Empire and opened many factories, these two bases were not nominally affiliated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but were founded in cooperation with the Kander Empire local chamber of commerce through other relationships, or simply the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce borrowed a local chamber of commerce to create it.

No matter how internal it is, it is decided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In terms of name, it can still be regarded as the Chamber of Commerce of the Candela Empire.

However, this time, this newly created Xinfei Magic Industrial Base belongs to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in both name and intrinsic. It is a magic industrial base officially recognized by the Candela Empire and exclusively founded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

This alone is enough to prove that the Candela Empire has finally let go of its reserve for so many years and no longer "disturbates" with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but has followed the trend and chose to cooperate formally with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Once this news came out, it was naturally very satisfying.

The New Air Chamber of Commerce has undoubtedly become the most popular chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent. The magic industry led by the New Air Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the most promising industry on the Sainz continent. It is even hailed by countless people as a great industry that can change the entire continent's process.

If the Kandra Empire still refuses to give up its figure and really commits it to it, it is likely that it will be eliminated later.

The second news is that the Kandra Empire will establish a brand new government agency next year, called the Kandra Empire Infrastructure Promotion and Operation Committee, referred to as the Kandra Infrastructure Committee.

This Infrastructure Committee belongs to the Kandra Empire Parliament and is mainly responsible for the affairs. It is to vigorously develop various infrastructure construction in the Kandra Empire.

Regarding the concept of infrastructure construction, since the New Air Chamber of Commerce proposed four years ago, it has become popular throughout the Seines continent in the past two years.

Everyone is very clear that infrastructure mainly includes five major categories such as transportation, energy provision, education and training, medical care, and sports culture. Last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce added a new category of communication networks to the mainland Magic Industry Industry Forum.

In recent years, the New Air Chamber of Commerce has been vigorously promoting the concept of infrastructure in various countries in the southwest corner of the Sines continent, and claims that it has basically achieved popularization and promotion of these six major categories of infrastructure in the Principality of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari, with significant results.

Now the Candela Empire has suddenly announced the establishment of the Candela Infrastructure Committee and vigorously develop various infrastructure construction. It is obviously also taken from the concept of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

According to the decree announced by His Majesty the Emperor, the Kandera Infrastructure Committee is indeed to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to promote infrastructure construction from next year, and the preliminary plan is to achieve the goal of road connection in all major cities in the Kandera Empire within three years.

After the announcement of this decree, those who are interested roughly calculated that if the main cities mentioned in the decree announced by His Majesty the Emperor include the prefectures of each province and the larger cities in the province, then according to the current land area of ​​the Kandra Empire and the distribution of each city, to achieve this goal, it is roughly necessary to build a road with a total mileage of up to 160,000 kilometers to meet the requirements.

According to the quotes from the Amley Chamber of Commerce, which is famous for its road construction projects, it takes about 3,000 gold coins to build an average of one kilometer of road.

If 760,000 kilometers are built, the total investment required is terrifyingly close to 500 million gold coins!

Even for one of the two continental empires like the Kandra Empire, 500 million gold coins are still an amazing number.

You know, the fiscal revenue of the Candela Empire last year was only less than 200 million gold coins.

Just building a highway alone will cost nearly 500 million gold coins within three years. Can the imperial finance do other things?

What's more, the infrastructure promotion goal mentioned in His Majesty's decree is not only to build highways within three years, but also to establish a preliminary magic communication network in Wimbledon and all provincial capitals within five years, and to establish sufficient magic energy distribution stations within ten years.

Besides, even if you put aside infrastructure, there are many places in the empire that need to spend money.

So everyone speculated that the Candela Empire must have reached certain agreements with the Amley Chamber of Commerce and the New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce in exchange for certain discounts.

Some people even speculate that with the status of the Candela Empire on the Continent of Seines, the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire might rather lose money than help the Candela Empire complete the corresponding infrastructure promotion in order to gain this huge market.

Because only in this way can their business be further promoted to the Candela Empire.

In the long run, this choice is also very wise.

"Stupid wise!"

President Cruise snorted with anger, threw the new Candela Weekly newspaper aside, rolling his eyes to Xu Yi beside him.

"You Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have a big family, so it's okay to lose a little. Our Amley Chamber of Commerce doesn't have that much money to lose. It's a 160,000-kilometer highway with a total investment of 500 million gold coins! If I have to build these roads with a loss, I'm afraid our Amley Chamber of Commerce will go bankrupt before it is repaired."

Xu Yi suddenly laughed: "This is what Kandra Weekly said, why are you complaining to me?"

"I just can't stand these Candela people always looking tall and with nostrils facing the sky. They really think that the Candela Empire is still the most popular on the continent before, and other countries can only look up to them and worship them. I'm gonna look at it! If we let the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire fight a good battle, they will definitely lose!"

"I can be sure that the Kingdom of Lampari won the victory if I fight one or ten battles. But if I win the final victory... I am not optimistic about the Kingdom of Lampari." Xu Yi shook his head and said.

President Cruise glared at Xu Yi, trying to refute, but then sighed dejectedly.

"Yes, after all, our Lampari Kingdom is too small after all. The most important thing is that the foundation was too weak before. If you fight with the Kandra Empire, even if you win the war, you will not be able to swallow such a big empire in one bite. However, Xu Yi, if you have the full support of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I think there is no problem."

"Are you sent by Her Majesty the Queen?" Xu Yi glanced at him. "Not to mention why our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should not make money and fully support the Kingdom of Lampari. Even if it really supports it, do you think it can really defeat the Candela Empire so easily?"

"Why can't it be?" President Cruise said with a straight neck and was quite dissatisfied: "The combat effectiveness of your New Air Chamber of Commerce guards is so strong, and there is absolutely no army on the entire continent that can resist you. In cooperation with our Lampari Kingdom, the army with military magic machinery has been basically replaced, and it can completely defeat all the resistance of the Candela Empire without any force."

"If you want to invade a country, the problem is never to defeat the other party's regular army, but to follow-up handling." Xu Yi said seriously. "I have discussed this with Her Majesty the Queen many times. Even she has to admit my analysis, so you don't have to refute it anymore."

President Cruise was silent for a moment, and suddenly his expression became very strange on his face. He asked with a little hesitation: "Xu...Xu Yi, have you heard of a recent rumor in the Kingdom of Lampari?"

"Rumor?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "I'm very busy and I don't have time to pay attention to any rumors."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at President Cruise. Seeing his strange expression, he couldn't help asking, "What rumors?"

"Just... this..." President Cruise's expression became more and more strange. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Her Majesty the Queen now has only Prince Kane, the descendant, so if nothing unexpected happens, Prince Kane should inherit the throne in the future."

"Well, it's obvious that this will happen. What? Can anyone in the Kingdom of Lampari dare to spread rumors about Prince Kane?"

"Well... this rumor has been widely circulated in the kingdom recently, and many people believe it... In short, it's just a bit fierce."

"So you talked for a long time, what is this rumor?" Xu Yi couldn't help but urged to ask.

President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi, coughed lightly, and lowered his voice: "Look, Prince Kane's mother is of course Her Majesty the Queen, but Her Majesty has never been married, so everyone is curious about who Prince Kane's father is. This rumor is about Prince Kane's father..."

Xu Yi's expression moved, but he still said calmly: "What do you say in the rumor?"

"The rumor is that... Prince Kane's father is... you..." (To be continued)
