Separating the magicians from the battlefield and forcing them to enter the magic machine industry, this could be considered Xu Yi's first step in developing the magic machine industry.
The magic machine industry was a very wide industry, so to fully develop it, other than magicians, there were other aspects that couldn't be lacking.
After announcing the « Magicians' Peace Pact », Xu Yi's next goal was to increase the large amount of people needed to develop the industry.
Due to the limitations of the society's productivity, although the humans of the Sines had been on the continent for thousands of years, their population had never been able to develop. Even now, there were only less than two hundred million humans in the Sines.
Compared to the vast Sines, this small population was without a doubt very sparse.
For the comprehensive and mature magic machine industrial system that Xu Yi wanted, the labor force provided by these people was far from enough.
Of course Xu Yi couldn't increase the population of the Sines by a large amount because it required a large amount of time as a foundation.
So with the current limitations, Xu Yi chose two methods to solve this problem.
The first method was to start from the basics.
After the « Magicians' Peace Pact » was announced for a month, the New Flyer made another large move.
On the third of May, the New Flyer held another press conference, announcing that the New Flyer would provide agricultural magic machine support to the twenty six countries.
This support didn't just include providing a set of agricultural magic machines, it also included providing the Lampari Kingdom with a new farming method based on the agricultural magic machines. It would help the twenty six countries quickly grasp the "modern" farming method that the New Flyer called "New Flyer", greatly increasing their grain yield.
After this news was analyzed by the various newspapers, people found that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had carefully chosen the twenty six countries.
Of these twenty six countries, each country had a common characteristic. It was that their country's terrain was relatively flat, with most of it being plains and most of it being arable.
This also meant that these countries were most suited for the New Flyer's new farming method, so it was easier for them to be influenced by this new farming method, quickly increasing their grain yield.
For the New Flyer's choice, there were even more countries that gave their opinions.
They said that their countries had the same suitable land for farming, so they needed the New Flyer's help to increase their grain yield.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's side said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's choice was based on the situation of each country. The twenty six countries they chose this time were the ones most suited for promoting this new farming method, but that didn't mean that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would give up on the other countries.
After this, the New Flyer would develop different kinds of agricultural magic machines based on different countries, different terrains, and different geology, trying to satisfy all kinds of needs.
At the same time, the New Flyer also said that increasing the grain yield of the Sines, letting everyone have enough food and clothing was the goal of the New Flyer, as well as the goal of all the people and countries on the continent. So the New Flyer hoped that all the countries and organizations on the continent would cooperate with them on this.
The New Flyer didn't say what would happen to the countries and organizations that didn't cooperate, but no one would ask this question without knowing … …
So the first method was to increase the grain yield of the Sines, which would greatly increase the population of the Sines.
As for the second method, it was to start with the current conditions.
The manpower of the Sines was limited and the effective labour force was even more limited. If they wanted to develop the magic machine industry under these restrictions, of course they had to increase the quality of the current labour force.
So the New Flyer signed agreements with all the countries on the continent, including the two empires. They planned to build over five hundred magic machine industry training schools in these countries.
The teaching structure of these schools was the same as the Frestech Academy, it was to teach the students some knowledge related to the magic machine industry. It was to lay down a foundation for them, so that they could enter the magic machine industry as soon as possible and better.
This plan was warmly welcomed by all the countries on the continent, but because the investment in these schools wasn't small and the finances of many countries were limited, the New Flyer had to take care of most of the funding for these schools.
Of course, the New Flyer wasn't investing for nothing.
There wasn't a country that wanted to give the control of these schools to a foreign organization, so in order to obtain the control of these schools, the New Flyer took the initiative to propose signing agreements with the New Flyer.
These agreements mainly involved the various resources of these countries. The New Flyer invested in these countries to build magic machine industry training schools, so they could obtain the rights to a portion of the resources. It could be considered a type of exchange.
According to the New Flyer's private estimates, because the teaching process of these schools would take three to five years to complete, and because many countries on the continent needed to prepare for the development of the magic machine industry, it would take three to five years for these measures to take effect.
Within these few years, the New Flyer had something equally important to do, which was to stabilize the situation on the continent and provide a stable and peaceful environment for the development of the magic machine industry.
Although the two empires were forced to sign an armistice agreement with the New Flyer, which represented the end of the war that affected the entire continent, it didn't mean that the continent had completely returned to peace.
The most obvious example was the Kandla Empire.
Because of the invasion of the New Flyer and the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Kandla Empire suffered successive defeats, and the Kingdom of Ruhr's allied forces even approached the capital, Wimbledon City, which caused the internal situation of the Kandla Empire to become turbulent.
When the New Flyer signed the armistice agreement, close to half of the provinces in the Kandla Empire had declared independence or were in a state of chaos.
When the Kandla Empire and the New Flyer signed the armistice agreement, both sides stopped fighting, and the Kingdom of Ruhr's allied forces withdrew from the Kandla Empire. Of the nearly half of the provinces that rebelled, a small portion immediately returned to normal and declared their return to the Kandla Empire.
However, more than half of the provinces still remained independent or fell into an even more chaotic situation.
The reason why the Kandla Empire straightforwardly agreed to the armistice agreement proposed by the New Flyer was because the alliance with the Malor Empire had suffered a crushing defeat. The second reason was that the internal situation was extremely chaotic, and there was no way to continue.
After the armistice with the New Flyer, the Kandla Empire's imperial family and a portion of the nobles that were still loyal to the imperial family immediately began to stabilize the internal situation.
However, the power of the Kandla Empire's imperial family had been greatly damaged in the previous battles with the Kingdom of Ruhr's allied forces, to the extent that they were unable to pacify the internal rebellions.
Although they had achieved some results in the beginning, allowing more than half of the rebellious provinces to return to the Kandla Empire's rule, there were a few hard bones that had not been gnawed off.
Among these bones, the Southern Province was the hardest one.
The Kandla Empire's imperial family had been trying to recover the Southern Province since the beginning of this year, but they had spent an entire four months without achieving their goal. Rather they had suffered many setbacks, causing the Kandla Empire's people to become unstable once again.
Being forced to helplessly, the Kandla Empire had placed their request for help on the New Flyer.
When he received the Kandla Empire's request for help, Xu Yi was stunned for half a minute.
But after considering the gains and losses, Xu Yi quickly made his decision.
Half a month later, at noon on the 24th of May, the New Flyer's Magic Airship squadron arrived in the former Kandla Empire's Southern Province, which was now the Windsor Kingdom's capital of Doral City.
Seeing the appearance of the Magic Airship squadron, the Windsor Kingdom's king, the former Kandla Empire's Southern Province's Duke Windsor didn't have any thoughts of resisting. He quickly reached an agreement with the emissary sent by the New Flyer and announced a full surrender.
The Windsor Kingdom had only existed for half a year before it was declared extinct. It returned to the Kandla Empire and became the Southern Province again.
After recovering the Southern Province, the Kandla Empire unexpectedly didn't execute Duke Windsor's entire family. Rather they let Duke Windsor be the Southern Province's Governor, continuing to control everything in the Southern Province.
At first glance, it seemed like Duke Windsor hadn't rebelled before.
Everyone knew that for such an unbelievable result to occur, it had to be because of the New Flyer.
As expected, after the Kandla Empire recovered the Southern Province, they quickly announced a new policy. The Southern Province would become a new economic demonstration area for the Kandla Empire, opening it to all companies outside the Kandla Empire and Kandla Empire. Any company could freely invest here and enjoy the preferential policies of the Kandla Empire.
Although this policy wasn't directed at the New Flyer, everyone knew that the Kandla Empire did this because of the New Flyer's request.
Of course, this result was welcomed by all the companies on the continent, even the companies in the Kandla Empire weren't an exception.
After all, what business needed the most was freedom, the stronger the merchant, the more they liked it.
Even the weaker merchants and chambers of commerce could find their own opportunities in the market.
So once this policy was announced, it attracted the praise of countless people.
However, in this atmosphere of celebration, it was unknown if it was intentional or not, but everyone forgot that the place that belonged to the Kandla Empire was now called the "Torea Autonomous Region" … …
