Chapter 136 I Can't Wait
"Xu Yi... Although I know that your ideas have always been different before, this time..." Sevini frowned slightly, looking at Xu Yi's gaze revealing a deep puzzle.↗, "But this time... it's too different, right?"
"You might as well just say I'm crazy like everyone else." Xu Yi spread his hands and smiled relaxedly: "It's not the first time I've been told that anyway."
"Of course you've been used to it." Sevini rolled his eyes. "But I still can't understand why you made this decision?"
“Is it difficult to understand?”
"Of course it's hard to understand!" Seeing Xu Yi's still relaxed look, Sevini seemed a little angry. "Military magic machinery is such an important thing, but now you promised to let other countries master the methods of manufacturing military magic machinery. How do I understand this? Do you just like to give these very important things to others? Not to mention the military magic machinery manufacturing technology this time, the previous cement, various household magic machinery manufacturing technology, etc.... are all like this! Is it fun to do this?"
Xu Yi was a little surprised by Sevini's sudden and fierce reaction. He looked at her in surprise and asked back: "Severny, the one who has benefited the most from these before... But the Kingdom of Lampari..."
"So I'm happy with your previous decision, but this time, I'm very upset!" Sewini said with a serious face. "And the military magical machinery manufacturing technology you intend to transfer this time is much more important than anything before. Have you considered our position in the Kingdom of Lampari before doing so? Have you considered my ideas?"
Xu Yi couldn't help scratching his head, and his heart was full of confusion.
The tone and tone of Sewini when she said this was a bit strange...
"This...Sevini. Although I decided to let other countries on this continent also master the manufacturing technology of military magic machinery, I put forward the first condition for them, that is, they must have a certain industrial foundation. This so-called industrial foundation must be judged by our New Flight Chamber of Commerce and is divided into levels. Only when we reach a certain level will we disclose certain technical information to them. You should be very clear about this?"
"Of course I know. But in the end, other countries can master military magic machinery, right? It's okay for ordinary small countries. If large empires like the Marlow Empire and the Candela Empire also master relevant technologies, what do you think?" Sevini asked back.
"It won't be like that." Xu Yi shook his head. "It's never easy to build a certain industrial foundation and create a complete industrial system. You know this more clearly than others. In other words, even if other countries choose to join this plan, it's impossible to surpass the Kingdom of Lampari in military magical machinery and it's impossible to threaten you."
"Is that?" Sevini sighed softly, and after a moment of silence, he smiled again, nodded to Xu Yi and said, "Well, I know that your ideal has always been to use the magic industry to change this continent and make the lives of everyone on the continent improve because of the magic industry. Your current approach is not wrong, but Xu Yi. Have you ever thought that this is not efficient?"
"Not efficient?" Xu Yi was stunned. "What does it mean?"
"Although all other countries on the mainland are very interested in military magic machinery, you use this to lure them to vigorously develop the domestic magic industry. I believe there will be many countries supporting it. However, each country has different strengths and its determination to cooperate with this plan is different. I am afraid that in the end, half of the countries are truly willing to invest enough manpower and funds in it, it would be good."
"I gave them a chance to choose. If they don't want to, then I can't do anything." Xu Yi shrugged and spread his hands and said, "But if they are eliminated by this world because of their backwardness, then I won't blame me."
"Since that's the case, why don't you directly choose a country to support it with all your strength, relying on the powerful advantages of military magic machinery now, unify the entire continent, and then naturally promote the magic industry?"
Xu Yi looked at Sewini in shock: "Are you talking about yourself?"
Sevini nodded without any hesitation.
"Yes. Xu Yi, our Kingdom of Lampari now has a very good magic industry foundation. As long as you provide more support, we can create a complete magic industry system very easily. If you are willing to give us more support in military magic machinery, I believe we can easily defeat these countries around us and carry out the magic industry smoothly into these countries around us. If we give us enough time, it is not impossible to unify the entire continent in the end."
Xu Yi stared at Sewini and looked at him seriously for a while, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Sevini, you are Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Lampari. It is normal to have this idea from your standpoint. But if I really plan to do this, the Maro Empire is actually a much better choice than the Kingdom of Lampari, right?"
"But the relationship between the Marlow Empire and you and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is far less profound than that between us." Sevini smiled.
"No, relationships can be cultivated. I believe that the Marlow Empire will be very willing to cultivate this relationship with us." Xu Yi still shook his head.
Seeing that Sevini was about to speak, Xu Yi raised his hand to block her next words and said seriously: "Severi, I understand your idea, and in fact I have had this idea before..."
"Then why don't you want to do this?" Sewini couldn't help but ask.
"Because... after careful consideration, I found that this approach is actually very inefficient." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Sevini looked puzzled. "As long as you are willing to support us with all your strength, with the power of military magic machinery, no country can withstand us on the battlefield, and it is not difficult to conquer other countries."
"You're thinking too much..." Xu Yi shook his head. "Sevini, you are the queen of the Kingdom of Lampari, so you should know better than anyone else. Tell me. How much did the Kingdom of Lampari cost in this war between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sach?"
Sevini was stunned. His expression changed several times on his face, and finally he responded in a slightly depressed voice: "According to statistics from the Finance Department, the total is about 4.7 million gold coins."
"Look, this war lasted for less than a month, and the process was still very smooth, but it had used a full 4.7 million gold coins. If it was a larger war and lasted longer, how much would you think it would cost?" Xu Yi asked.
Sevini felt a little frowning and retorted unconvincedly: "But if we can still get enough compensation from the Sach Kingdom, and if we gain other aspects, the final income will be far more than the 4.7 million gold coins spent. In general, this is still a profit. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"But you have to invest a lot in the seven cities you received from the Sakh Kingdom, right? Tell me, if you count the investment, do you still dare to say you have made a profit?"
Sevini silently refused to answer, pondered for a moment and said, "Xu Yi, I don't understand what your question has to do with what you said before."
"It's a big deal." Xu Yi said seriously. "With the current strength of the Kingdom of Lampari, it's so difficult to completely conquer a Sak Kingdom. If you want to conquer the entire continent... how long do you think it will take?"
Sewini could only remain silent again.
She knew very well that Xu Yi was very reasonable.
Although there is no shortage of countries that conquered the entire continent by purely relying on force in the history of the Synes continent, all such countries are short-lived and cannot last for a long time.
Moreover, even such a country has been accumulated over hundreds of years of generations to achieve such strong strength, which is definitely not achieved overnight.
Although the Kingdom of Lampari has been established for hundreds of years, it has always been an extremely poor and weak country, and it has no such foundation at all.
Even if they can now gain an absolute advantage on the front battlefield with the powerful military magic machinery developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, war will never determine everything on the front battlefield. What is really important is something outside the battlefield.
For example, logistics supply, external political environment, such as...
It may be fine to win one or two games, but if you want to win more battles in a row and conquer other countries, it is not just something that can be solved by relying on military magical machinery.
"I know... our Lampari Kingdom is too weak compared to other countries on the mainland. It is impossible for us to give you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very good support like the Marlow Empire. But Xu Yi, are you really that unbearable?" Sevini sighed leisurely.
Xu Yi smiled bitterly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, took two steps, came to Sevini, raised his hands and placed it on her shoulders, stared at Sevini's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Severy, if you have to choose a country on the Continent of Sines to fully support it, I will definitely choose the Kingdom of Lampari, for nothing else, just because you are now Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Lampari."
Sevini shook slightly, his eyes covered with a hazy watery feeling.
"Then why are you..."
"But I said just now that it takes too long to realize my ideal by relying on the Kingdom of Lampari alone, and I can't wait. Even if I can break through the limit and become a magician, my life is only a hundred years, but now it has almost one-third passed. So for the remaining two-thirds of the time, I must hurry up and do everything possible to push this ideal as soon as possible. Can you... understand me?"
Looking at Xu Yi's sincere gaze and feeling the warm breath exhaled from Xu Yi's nostrils because of close distance, Sevini's eyes became even more confused.
After a long silence, Sevini nodded slowly.
"Well, since this is your decision, I won't say anything more."
"Then... let's talk about this for now. You seem to be in a bad mood today. Pay more attention to rest. I'll go back first." Xu Yi put down his hands and said goodbye to Sewini.
Sevini did not stop him, but just stared at Xu Yi's leaving back for a while. When he had walked far, he murmured.
"Follower, do you know that I have no interest in the power of the Kingdom of Lampari. All of this is for you... and the children?" (To be continued...)
