The Lampari Kingdom's army had forcefully defeated the Malor Empire's powerful defensive line, stepping into the Malor Empire with terrifying footsteps. There was a different scene in the New Flight Commerce Main Base in the Principality of Constantine.
Although the New Flyer was one of the main characters of the two camps, the chaos of the outside world and the intense battles on the continent didn't seem to affect the New Flight Commerce Main Base that much.
Because it was New Years, the New Flyer decided to take a break a week before New Years like usual, so the main base wasn't as busy as usual. Even the roaring of the magic machines in the factories were much quieter.
But this didn't mean that the New Flyer wasn't affected at all.
As the main character of the New Flyer Camp, they were the ones who provided military magic machines to their partner countries, helping them defeat the two empires, even helping the Lampari Kingdom fight back, and now even being able to invade the Malor Empire. The New Flyer was without a doubt the most important role in this war that swept the continent.
Not mentioning anything else, just to provide the Lampari Kingdom with enough military magic machines and ammunition, the New Flyer had built a new military magic machine production base last year.
The new base had been built at the beginning of last year, but as the situation on the Sines worsened, it turned into an all out war. This new base could be said to have been fully operational in the second half of last year, making all kinds of military magic machines without stopping.
It was because of Xu Yi's powerful foresight last year that the Lampari Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, and the other partners of the New Flyer had enough military magic machines, allowing them to resist the powerful attacks of the two empires on the battlefield.
After Xu Yi's plan to lure in Arch Magus Raduka and Arch Magus Ophalian, they had successfully tested a new Anti-Magic Domain that could deal with enemy magicians. The New Flyer had solved the most serious problem for their partners, which was the threat of the Arch Magi.
This was something that had been displayed in the battle between the Lampari Kingdom and the Marlow army.
The Malor Empire had lost an Arch Magus in the battle of the Grecius Mountain Range and then they had lost two Arch Magi in the border defense battle. This was equal to telling everyone that Arch Magi were no longer invincible in people's minds, they no longer had the power to decide the outcome of a battle.
In other words, after the Lampari Kingdom had killed three Arch Magi from the Malor Empire in these two battles, it made everyone understand that only the military magic machines provided by the New Flyer could decide the outcome of the war.
Normal magicians couldn't do this, even the strongest Arch Magi couldn't do this!
In order to strengthen this understanding in people's hearts, although the other departments of the New Flyer had their annual leave this year, the military magic machine departments were forced to work overtime for the first time.
Of course, because working overtime for the new year was special, the company gave the workers three times their normal wage, so the workers were all very happy to work overtime.
Then again, there were wars happening all over the continent, so rather than taking risks, it was better to stay in the New Flight Commerce Main Base that could be considered the safest place on the continent.
There were even many workers from the other departments that weren't willing to leave after the holidays and chose to stay.
Other than that, there were also many workers who brought their family members that weren't in the Principality of Constantine to the Principality of Constantine, deciding to settle down here.
Xu Yi was very happy with this.
The thing he was most dissatisfied with on the Sines was that because of the serious food problem, the population was very small compared to Earth, especially the Celestial Empire. It made it very hard for the New Flyer to recruit enough people to develop.
If more and more people settled in the Principality of Constantine, he could use the resources of the New Flyer to train large amounts of people for the New Flyer.
In the long run, this was beneficial no matter what.
He even wanted to grab a bunch of people and put them into the military magic machine production base, working hard for the large amounts of military magic machine orders from the Lampari Kingdom and the other countries.
However, this wasn't realistic.
The military magic machines were very powerful, and the corresponding requirements were also very high.
This was especially true for the all-around anti-magic field equipment that was urgently needed on the battlefield, especially for mages. There was no room for error, and it required a lot of people who had a deep understanding of magic. At the very least, they had to have a deep understanding of magic formations before they were qualified to participate.
This kind of talent couldn't be trained in a short period of time.
Xu Yi directly grabbed a batch of graduates from the New Flyer, training them while they worked, but they still couldn't meet the current demand. Where would he find enough people in this field in a short period of time?
Every time he thought of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Although the ratio of mages in the Sines was very low, there were still over a hundred thousand of them in absolute numbers. It wasn't a small number at all.
If half of these mages … No, even if it was only a third, or even a quarter, or even a fifth of them worked for the New Flyer, he wouldn't have to worry about the lack of talent all the time.
Among these mages, the ones that Xu Yi felt the most pity for were the three archmages that had fallen in the battle with the Lampari Kingdom's army.
In Xu Yi's opinion, archmages were currently the mages with the deepest understanding of magic in the Sines. They were also the mages with the strongest magic power. As long as they were given some training, they would be able to have a very large effect on the magic machine industry.
The fall of the three archmages was the fall of three top talents to Xu Yi.
When he received this news, Xu Yi didn't say anything, but his heart was extremely pained.
If these three archmages hadn't fallen in a meaningless battle in Xu Yi's opinion, and had instead contributed their strength to the New Flyer, it would have definitely allowed the magic machine industry to develop even faster. It would also allow Xu Yi to take another step forward in his ideals.
That was why even though the New Flyer guards outside Meiro City had the ability to kill Archmage Aufalian and Archmage Raduka, Xu Yi had still taken a certain risk and let them leave.
It was all for the sake of protecting top talents like the archmages.
However, the contradiction was that Xu Yi had to make the New Flyer's side display enough power to eliminate the archmages from the battlefield. Only then would the others take this point seriously.
In the end, there were still archmages that had fallen, and three of them had fallen at once.
Xu Yi was deeply pained by this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Ai, how good would it be if everyone could focus on development.
What a pity … "When he thought of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. He shook his head with a wry smile.
"Sir chairman, what is it?
Did we do something wrong? "
The supervisor of the New Flyer's military magic machine department, Lowns, who was by Xu Yi's side, hurriedly asked when he saw the strange expression on Xu Yi's face.
"No, it's just that when I saw the military magic machines being sent out one by one, I couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion when I thought about how they were going to be sent to the various armies and personally buried countless lives." Xu Yi shook his head.
This time, it was Lowns who had a very strange expression on his face.
Why did the president suddenly become sentimental?
Could it be that sir chairman was actually a very sensitive and delicate person?
How was that possible …
His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but it didn't affect Lowns' smile, "Sir chairman, there's nothing we can do about it.
We've never thought of conquering anyone, but those fellows from the two empires aren't willing to do so.
If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid we'll never have a day of peace in the future. "
Xu Yi smiled. He knew that Lowns had misunderstood, but he couldn't be bothered to explain. He waved his hand, "It's just a moment of emotion, it won't affect my mood.
Alright, the inspection here is done. You've done a good job.
Continue to maintain this efficiency and strive not to make any mistakes.
This year is very likely to be the most important year for our New Flyer, and even for the entire Sines.
And the one who will decide the final result is actually the department you're in charge of.
So … "
Xu Yi patted Lowns' shoulder, stared into his eyes, and said seriously, "You have a lot of guts, do you have the confidence to do a good job?"
Lowns immediately replied, "Sir chairman, please rest assured!
I promise that there won't be any mistakes here! "
"Very good."
Xu Yi patted Lowns' shoulder again, indicating that he should go back to work. He then left with the other New Flyer executives who had accompanied him to inspect the military magic machine manufacturing base on the first day of the new year.
The group returned to the conference hall of the New Flight Commerce Main Base. After taking their seats, New Flyer's finance director Sebas took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Sir chairman, this is the company's initial financial budget for this year.
From the current estimate … I'm afraid it's not good. "Sebas' expression was very serious.
This kind of expression was extremely rare on his face.
Because New Flyer's financial situation had always been very good since its establishment, Sebas' expression was always very relaxed.
But now, the serious expression on his face made him very serious, so much so that Xu Yi couldn't help but sit up a little straighter after hearing this. Only then did he pick up the document.
In this document related to New Flyer's financial budget for this year, Sebas listed in detail the various funds that New Flyer might need this year, and finally came to a general conclusion.
This conclusion was indeed enough to make Sebas reveal such a serious expression, because according to this conclusion, according to the various plans and investments that New Flyer had planned for this year, if there were no obvious changes or sudden profits, then New Flyer's financial situation this year would be the first time in history that it would be such a serious deficit.
This deficit could even be as high as 20 to 40 million gold coins!
And in the financial report at the end of last year, New Flyer's net profit for the same period of the year before was close to 200 million gold coins, but it suddenly fell to less than 50 million gold coins. The drop couldn't be said to be small.
But this year, according to Sebas' estimation, there would even be a deficit!
This was the first time in the twenty years since New Flyer's establishment that such a situation had occurred, and the deficit for the first time wasn't a small amount.
It was no wonder that Sebas revealed such a serious expression. After all, he was New Flyer's finance director, so he was the one who had the most direct contact with these numbers.
Moreover, he was the one who was most clear about the reason for this possible deficit.
"Sir chairman, forgive me for speaking bluntly."
Seeing Xu Yi finish reading the entire report and raise his head again, Sebas said with an unusually serious expression, "We should immediately stop providing free assistance to the Lampari Kingdom and other countries.
Otherwise, in less than two years, our company will directly close down due to the serious financial burden! "
