After the news of the defeat of the invincible fleet in the "Battle of Benin" spread, there was an uproar in the world.
The first to bear the brunt is the South Continent, which is within easy reach.
War is always a means, and the interests behind it are the strong driving force. As long as the resources are not infinite, world peace will always be just a beautiful dream.
Taking this opportunity, after Tulip regained all the lost ground occupied by Hilius, he immediately set off a carnival feast for Hilius' counterattack and liquidation!
Especially in the previous naval battles, a large number of elite armies in the Hilius fleet participated in the battle, but before they really started their best at sea warfare, they had been buried in the sea with the invincible fleet that was no longer invincible.
The extremely empty colony of Hilius is not much better for tulips than a little white rabbit that is harmless to humans and animals.
The most mobile Ivan and his party are responsible for the second largest colony belonging to Hilius, located in Metical on the southeast coast of the South Continent, and further east is the Eritrean Sea leading to the Peacock Islands.
They only need to be in charge of fighting in coordination with the army. Among the sporadic city strongholds along the way, after the essence has been wiped out, most of the Hilius soldiers simply flee in the face of the menacing Tulips. .
Boom! ...boom! boom!
In sporadic gunfire.
Seeing that he had captured the colonial capital of Metical all the way, and hadn't even fought a decent tough battle. Gary was patrolling the front, and the idlers, Ivan, Olivia, and Milan, hid in the camp to share the spoils.
"One for you, one for me!"
"One for you, one for me!"
In addition to the gold and ivory jewelry that are abundant here, the trophies searched along the way are worthy of the reputation of being a world gem warehouse. All kinds of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, golden emeralds, emeralds, aquamarine, amethyst, peridot, tourmalines... everything.
In addition, in front of a few people, there are many red grape-sized essence fruits.
After the naval battle, "Extracting Potions" opened for a long time. The large-scale "Long-nosed Silver Shark" was not wasted at all, and all of its flesh and blood became a tonic for their promotion on the extraordinary road.
The essence fruit produced by the sea monster on the side of the spell is of course a great supplement to the wizards. Since it is Aiwen's battle item, he enjoys complete control.
I had been hiding it before, until the little apprentice An Qi, who was just short of the door, successfully reached the limit before promotion with them, and now Ivan took it out and assigned it with Olivia and Milan.
"It would be great if I could come here once a month."
Taped the "magic pocket" that Ivan gave him like an animal stomach bag, Milan licked his lips and exclaimed.
Olivia, who had the same bumper harvest next to her, nodded vigorously, as if she couldn't agree anymore, advancing along the way was simply more refreshing than ransacking her home. Except for the "Gem Star", other types of ordinary witchcraft gems have all been complemented and there is surplus.
"It is true that the Kingdom chose Metical. If you change to Antananarivo, the Kingdom of Tyrol, although there may be more gold coins, it may not have such a suitable windfall."
As the two strongest victors in the war, Falettis and the Kingdom of Tyrol have already negotiated a plan to divide the spoils.
First, they joined hands to carve up the legacy of the Kingdom of Ilya, and posted a big autumn fat to their family.
Then Falitis came to Metical, and the Kingdom of Tyro went to the southernmost point of the southern continent, which is located on the island of Antananarivo in the Eritrean Sea across the sea from the southern continent.
The production of vanilla-based vanilla is the world's largest. It is usually used for flavoring, making spices, or extracting essential oils. It is profitable as a daily necessities.
"I think the most important reason for the senior leaders of the kingdom to choose here is not these gems. It is the same as Nigeria in the West Bank, which has rich coal resources."
"Coal?"
Milan doesn't know, so Olivia is thoughtful.
Other non-industrialized countries don’t care about things like coal, but they are the food on which the steam industry of the Kingdom of Falitis relies.
Aven, who put forward the "Overlord Disqualification Plan", has a longer-term view than many people, and he can see through the real thoughts of the senior officials in the kingdom.
The plan mainly includes a "blood loss plan" based on legal private plunder; a "trade war" based on cheap industrial products; and a "dismemberment plan" based on ethnic and religious contradictions.
The core of these is the "trade war", or the steam industrialization revolution behind the "trade war". The other two are used to weaken the enemy, and only this is to strengthen itself in essence.
Before the industrial revolution, although mankind had made many dazzling achievements in agriculture, technology, and culture, the situation of insufficient food and insufficient commodities remained unchanged.
The ability of individuals and society to resist risks is very poor. A natural and man-made disaster will immediately destroy families and even the country will collapse.
But after the occurrence of the Industrial Revolution, for the first time in history, mankind allowed the supply of commodities to exceed the demand, that is, from an era of material scarcity to an era of material abundance.
For example: 50 ballpoint pens for nine dollars and nine free shipping... This is something that only a major industrial country can do.
Industry has the magical power to turn any short-selling goods into local stall goods!
Enriched material civilization can feed more people, create more social division of labor, and have more people free to work as soldiers, doctors, workers, businessmen, scholars, inventors, artists...and so on. Create a modern society with a vigorous attitude.
Which one is more powerful in such a society than the pure agriculture and animal husbandry society in the past? It's clear at a glance.
So, the industrial revolution is a major turning point in the process of human civilization.
As for why the Tulip Alliance, especially the Kingdom of Falettis, is now the most popular place for steam engines in the entire human civilization world?
Because Falettis is actually the first place where coal was discovered in the entire human world. Before the discovery of coal mines in the colonies, Falettis' coal production accounted for 80% of the world's coal production!
It was also one of the important reasons why the alchemy school returned to the old world and chose Falettis as the bridgehead.
In addition, the development of the steam industry is inseparable from sufficient iron and coal, but for Falettis, who was in the early days of the popularization of steam engines, iron was the most lacking.
Because at that time, the output of iron was determined by the area of the forest.
It is necessary to mix charcoal and iron ore to produce qualified iron. About 100 kilograms of wood can only produce 1 kilogram of iron. At that time, an ordinary iron smelter would consume 2,400 acres of forest a year.
As a result, the forest coverage rate of Falettis even dropped to 10% at one point.
It wasn't until a few years ago that they took the lead in finding a way to smelt iron with coke, and this situation was fundamentally reversed.
If this continues, it may not take a few years for the iron output of Falettis alone to be more than the total iron output of other countries in the world. And in this era when the number of artillery represents military power, iron output is almost equal to military power!
With the development of steam engines, the long-distance ironclad ships can be expected in the future. These coal-producing areas in coastal areas will become excellent replenishment points.
After explaining the importance of this site to two people, Ivan turned around and looked at the large military map from red to blue in the camp, and said with some concern:
"The only thing that makes me a little uneasy now is, where did the remnants of the fleet that finally escaped in the spiritual storm go? Why can't even the seagulls find their tracks?"
At the same time that Tulip counterattacked and liquidated.
The capital of the colony of the Sark Empire, the city of Saint Louis.
In the love nest built for "Canaries".
Prince Clement, the governor of the Southern Continent of the Sac Empire, hugged his lover's slender waist and rubbed his ears with his ears. He was greedy for the infinite beauty of this "beauty", and he didn't care to share the military reports with him:
"My Diana, you see, thanks to your suggestion. This time, Hilius suffered a big loss, which allowed us Zack to follow along and get a lot of money. You are really mine. Lucky star!
I have told your Majesty about you. When the award is awarded, you will be Lady Diana! happy? "
In the Southern Continent, Zack, who has a large interest, took advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the fire and took advantage of several resource points that belonged to the nature of the Hilius enclave.
However, their common understanding is that Lobito, the largest colony in Hilius, is also one of the most abundant natural resources such as minerals and forestry in the entire Southern Continent, and there is no one to move for the time being.
That was the last face of Hilius, who didn't have much territory in the Southern Continent.
"Of course... happy."
Clement did not notice that the smile on the face of the beauty in her arms was very far-fetched.
Diana, also Farnese of the "Cursing School", although I don't know the allusion three years later and three years later, I still feel that it is really not good for me to be an undercover agent...
What if this **** who is increasingly obsessed with him suddenly proposes to him one day? Is it promised, promised, or promised?
......
The Hilius, who was experiencing the wall falling and everyone pushing, didn't know that the bad luck on their heads didn't stop there.
Half a month after the war, another blast of bad news was brought back to the colony by merchant ships going to sea.
The small half fleet, which is still made up of seventeen remaining ships, is not being repaired at a secret naval base as everyone initially expected~IndoMTL.com~ The salted fish stood up and waited for the opportunity to fight again.
But when we were evacuating towards Luanda, we encountered a super storm at sea and... the whole army was wiped out!
The merchant ship found the shattered Hilius warship hull on the desert island near the route, as well as a three-person survivor team, no matter whether it was personal or physical evidence, it was confirmed.
This also means that Hilius's last military power in the Southern Continent has been completely emptied, and the only suspense left to the tulips has also been settled.
But even greater doubts arose, the storm that could destroy a fleet, why didn't the tulip, who also returned home in the later stage, encounter it?
When Ivan received this heavy news and hurriedly returned from Metical who had completed the strategy, by the way, he was preparing to help An Qi, who had completely completed the pre-promotion process, for a formal wizard promotion.
However, I suddenly received a spiritual letter from Fisher, the head of the Rushing Church. The content is very short and only one sentence:
"The meeting ceremony given to Tulips by the Church of Fury, I hope you will like it."
Obviously, in the past, the "Mother of Sea Monsters" hated all human beings. This is closely related to his way, and it is a contradiction that no one can reconcile. Even if the voyage is in full swing, no human kingdom wants to get involved with the master of the Black Sea, and the best attitude is to stay away.
However, Hipponoah, the "Goddess of the Black Sea," who has been banned for three hundred years, is a human being, but this is not necessarily the case.
This time it was a very explicit gesture of favor.
However, after receiving Fisher's letter, Ivan's scalp tightened, as if he had been stung by a scorpion, he immediately transmitted it back to China.
Let’s make the queen, the crown prince, and the elders of the capital a headache.
Reminiscent of the situation of the Rushing Church and the goddess, behind the fact that nothing has been done, it must represent...great trouble!
