"This honourable Candra Emperor, could this be considered smashing your own foot with a rock this time?" Xu Yi put down the newspaper in his hand and said this to Leslie sitting in front of him with a smile.
Leslie put down the tea in his hand and gave a laugh.
"This idiot, he single-handedly stirred up the opposition to your New Flyer in the Kandla Empire, but he never thought that the nobles under him would be even more stupid than him. They actually misunderstood his intentions and were even more radical than he thought, directly choosing to fight your New Flyer."
After saying this, Leslie shook his head and gave a sigh before continuing, "It seems like your New Flyer has suppressed the countries on the Sines too much over the years, so their mentality has become strange.
Otherwise, no matter how stupid they are, they wouldn't do something like this. "
"No, I'm not surprised at all." Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
"The signs of opposition to the New Flyer have already appeared several years ago, so it's not strange that it has developed to this point.
Moreover, I'm certain that there will be more and more of these things in the future. After all, no one likes being suppressed by others, right? "
Leslie knit his brows, "Since you already expected this, why didn't you take countermeasures earlier?
Moreover, based on the news I've heard in the past few days, you really don't care about the New Flyer. Could it be that you're really planning on giving the New Flyer to Freya?
Can you be assured? "
"Then you gave the entire southern continent to David, could it be that you're assured?" Xu Yi asked back with a smile.
Leslie laughed, "I'm old, I won't be able to take care of things sooner or later. The sooner David takes over my work, the sooner I can be assured."
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "Isn't this the same as what I'm doing now?"
The David the two of them were talking about was Leslie's eldest son.
Because Leslie had married later than Xu Yi, even if Leslie was a few years older than Xu Yi, David was even younger than Freya. He was only twenty three years old this year.
With the support of the New Flyer, Leslie's influence had spread from Paradise Island to the southern continent over ten years ago.
Compared to the Demon Cloud Continent, the southern continent that Leslie named the Levin Continent was half the size and there were far fewer locals there.
With the powerful army he had built with the support of the New Flyer, after ten years, he had already swept through the entire Levin Continent. He controlled the entire continent and he had already built a basic road network and magic communication network on the Levin Continent..
It could be said that Leslie was now the emperor of the Levin Continent. Just based on the land under his name, it far surpassed the two empires.
As for David, he could be considered the crown prince of the Levin Continent.
So every time Leslie met Xu Yi, he couldn't help mocking the two empires and the Sines countries.
There was clearly a vast world outside the Sines, but they had to hide in the Sines and scheme against each other. Their horizons were too shallow.
Of course, Leslie was very clear that compared to the other continents, the Sines had a much longer history and had a much larger population. Adding on the rapid development under the leadership of the New Flyer, the development of the Sines was much greater than the other continents.
Staying on the Sines Continent was without a doubt more attractive to the countries of the Sines Continent.
Leslie had returned to the Sines from the Levin Continent after three years in order to obtain more support from Xu Yi, hoping to increase the development of the Levin Continent.
One of the most important reasons was that the New Flyer had announced last month that they had established a super long distance magic communication between the Demon Cloud Continent and the Sines.
Leslie had come this time because he hoped that the New Flyer could support the Levin Continent and establish a magic communication link between the Levin Continent and the Sines, making it easier for them to contact each other.
"Like this, I won't have to come here if I have nothing to do. I can just use magic communication to talk, how convenient." Leslie said.
Xu Yi nodded, "Actually, even if you didn't come to me, I would have thought of a way to solve this problem.
When I created this magic communication network, I hoped that it could cover the entire planet.
Since the Demon Cloud Continent has it, the Levin Continent won't be left out. "
Leslie laughed, "I knew that you wouldn't refuse, Xu Yi."
"Don't be happy too early.
I'm not the president of the New Flyer right now, so it's useless even if I don't refuse.
If you can't convince Freya and the others in the New Flyer, then I can't help you. "
Leslie curled his lips, "Hmph, as long as you're the president … … Alright, since the former president has agreed, I don't believe that anyone in the New Flyer won't agree."
"That's not necessarily true, Freya might have her own ideas.
Moreover, she has just familiarized herself with the president's job and wants to do something.
If you can't give her a good reason, she might refuse you. "Xu Yi said with a smile.
Leslie laughed. He knew that Xu Yi was hinting at him. No matter how good their relationship was, when it came to such an important project, it couldn't be decided by personal feelings.
If the Levin Continent couldn't bring enough benefits to the New Flyer, or if the New Flyer saw enough enticing future benefits, then the New Flyer wouldn't help for free.
But this was something that the two of them were already used to.
Although the New Flyer had given Leslie endless support before, allowing him to smoothly occupy Paradise Island, allowing him to control the entire Levin Continent.
But whether it was Paradise Island or the Levin Continent, Leslie had given large amounts of local resources to the New Flyer as a return.
Although these returns couldn't compare to the New Flyer's investment, as long as the Levin Continent was developed well, they would be able to reach a balance sooner or later.
Other than the super long distance magic communication between the two continents, Leslie also hoped that the New Flyer could help the Levin Continent build a railway network.
"I'm afraid there's a problem with this." Xu Yi shook his head with a frown.
"Leslie, how many steel mills do you have under you right now?"
Leslie gave a snort and said with a bit of pride, "What?
You think that we don't have enough steel production, so we can't build a railway?
Let me tell you, I already have seventeen steel mills under me. Just last month's steel production was over three million tons! "
"Oh?" Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
"I remember that last time I asked you, you only had five steel mills with a monthly production of eight hundred thousand tons, right?
If it's three million tons, we can consider building a railway … … "
"The last time I saw you was three years ago, alright?" Leslie waved his hand in dissatisfaction.
"It seems like you don't care about the Levin Continent at all, you don't even know such important data."
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, "The Levin Continent is your territory, why would I care?
Could it be that you're not worried that I'll steal your territory? "
"Che, if you really wanted to steal my territory, the Sines would already be in your bag. Why would you need to steal the Levin Continent?"
Leslie curled his lips in disdain before suddenly giving a sigh and asking, "Speaking of this, Xu Yi, have you ever regretted it?"
"Regret?
What would I regret? "Xu Yi asked back in a stunned voice.
"Regret that you didn't listen to my suggestion and chose to use force to conquer the Sines." Leslie had a serious look on his face, it seemed like he wasn't joking.
"Back then you said that you didn't have time to waste on this kind of thing, but looking at it now, your New Flyer is far stronger than the other countries. No matter how slow you are, you should have been able to conquer the continent in ten years.
If you could have unified the continent, your New Flyer wouldn't have had so much trouble. "
"Leslie, it seems like you still don't understand my true intentions."
"What is there to not understand? Don't you want to promote the magic machine industry?
Now that you have to deal with all these countries, don't you think it's very troublesome? "
"No, the current situation is even better.
These countries are competing with each other, so they have to focus on developing the magic machine industry and improving magic technology. "
"I think it's all used on military magic machines, right?" Leslie gave a cold snort.
"I won't hide it from you. Actually, I've also invested a lot in military magic machines and the results are quite good.
After all, I've always been providing you with high end military magic machines that the other countries don't have.
Not only me, but the gap between your New Flyer and the other countries in terms of military magic machines is much smaller than before. Otherwise, the Kandla Empire wouldn't have the guts to keep provoking you. "
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi shook his head with a faint smile.
"They're willing to focus on developing military magic machines, so that's what I want.
Since you're also developing military magic machines, you should be very clear.
Military magic machines aren't things that exist on their own. They need a complete magic machine industry and strong technical support.
The process of developing military magic machines is actually the process of developing the magic machine industry. "
Leslie stared at Xu Yi with a frown for a while and couldn't help shaking his head.
"To be honest, Xu Yi, I've known you for so many years, but I still can't understand your thoughts.
Letting the other countries develop their magic machine industry and develop their technology, what benefits does it bring to your New Flyer, or rather, to you?
Could it be that it's just for that dream of yours that came out of nowhere? "
"If a person doesn't have a dream, then what difference is there between them and a salted fish?" Xu Yi smiled as he spat out a famous quote from the internet from earth.
"Moreover, don't you think that being able to fly into space and travel through the universe is a very wonderful experience?"
Leslie sighed. He still couldn't understand.
"Alright, space and the universe, a normal person like me can't understand it.
But I have to remind you, don't go overboard and end up being swallowed by the Kandla Empire. "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Do you think ….. I'm that stupid?"
