With the appearance of the New Flyer, the magic machine craze in the countries to the southwest of Sines had a large influence on the surrounding countries.
But if one was to talk about the influence of magic machines, the biggest change that the appearance of the New Flyer brought to these countries was the improvement of transportation.
Roads, when this new road first appeared in Banta City, it didn't attract that much attention.
But when the roads were built in the Lampari Kingdom and gradually connected all the cities in the Lampari Kingdom, people immediately discovered the great convenience brought by the roads.
With the Magic Cars developed by the New Flyer, there was a new road network in the Lampari Kingdom.
Compared to the horse carriages that had to travel on dirt roads before, the Magic Cars that had to travel on flat roads were much faster and more comfortable. It made people forget about the old horse carriages.
So after seeing the convenience brought by the roads, the countries around the Lampari Kingdom all followed suit and invited the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build roads in their countries.
To this day, there were over twenty thousand kilometers of roads in the Lampari Kingdom. Not only were there roads in every city, there were even roads in every small town.
In second place, it wasn't the Kingdom of Ruhr that was bigger than the Lampari Kingdom, but rather the Principality of Constantine.
The Kingdom of Ruhr's roads had barely surpassed ten thousand kilometers at the beginning of this year, but the Principality of Constantine's roads had already surpassed fifteen thousand kilometers in the middle of last year.
If one looked at it from above, the roads in the Principality of Constantine were like a spider's web, densely covering all the roads that could be replaced. There were even roads that were built in places that didn't have roads before, ensuring that one could go from one place to another in the Principality of Constantine.
All of this was of course because the New Flyer's main base was in the Principality of Constantine.
Other than this, in the surrounding countries, like the Drake Duchy, the Mirando Duchy, the Norton Duchy, and the other countries, they had already built several roads, at least replacing the main roads in their countries with roads.
Even the Falk Kingdom that had been in contact with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce the year before last had already built three roads across the country. There were currently eleven roads that were estimated to be over two thousand kilometers of road that were being built.
According to the report that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had made through the « Lampuri Weekly », it was estimated that they would finish building the roads in the surrounding countries in five years, connecting these countries with roads.
Once this plan was complete, even if one set off from the Principality of Constantine in the southwest to the Falk Kingdom in the northeast, the distance of close to two thousand and five hundred kilometers, they would still be able to drive on the roads.
If they used the New Flyer's fastest Magic Sedan, it would only take a day and a half to get there.
But a few years ago, this distance was something that almost everyone couldn't reach.
It could be said that with the appearance of roads, it had greatly shortened the distance between countries. It made the countries in the southwest corner of the Sines much closer than before.
However, all of this was unrelated to the Sack Kingdom.
The reason was very simple, the Sack Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom had always been enemies and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was a company that belonged to the Lampari Kingdom.
Adding in the relationship between the New Flyer and the Sack Kingdom, it was impossible for the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build roads in the Sack Kingdom.
So when the surrounding countries were investing in paving roads, working hard to create a new road network, the Sack Kingdom could only watch. No matter how much they wanted it, they couldn't do anything.
But with the establishment of the free trade zone between the Lampari Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, the relationship between the two countries had loosened and the Sack Kingdom had seen a trace of hope.
But the Sack Kingdom had hinted to the Lampari Kingdom several times, even sending people to contact the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce in secret, but they had always been rejected. This made the Sack Kingdom completely give up.
This time the Lampari Kingdom had suddenly declared war on the Sack Kingdom, which made the people in the Sack Kingdom who cared about the roads give up all hope.
The relationship between the two sides was already this bad, how could the Lampari Kingdom allow the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build roads for the Sack Kingdom?
However, no one would have thought that the Lampari Kingdom's attitude would change one hundred and eighty degrees.
After taking the initiative to propose a ceasefire to the Sack Kingdom, the Lampari Kingdom not only took the initiative to rebuild the free trade zone, they even loosened up in many other aspects.
Building roads was one of them.
This time the New Flyer wasn't a company that belonged to the Lampari Kingdom in name, but they were leading the Lampari Kingdom's caravan here. In the caravan behind them, there was a representative from the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
After mentioning building roads to chief Alvin, Xu Yi waved his hand behind him and chairman Cruz who had been watching the entire time came over with a smile.
"Chief Alvin, this is chairman Cruz of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
Cruz, this is chief Alvin of the Sack Kingdom's department of commerce. "Xu Yi introduced the two of them.
Chairman Cruz reached out his hand with a smile and when he was halfway there, chief Alvin took it and said in an excited voice, "Chairman Cruz, it really is a happy thing to see you. Our Sack Kingdom has been waiting for the arrival of you and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce."
Chairman Cruz laughed, "Chief Alvin, you're too polite.
Actually, how could we not have wanted to come a long time ago?
In our company's road network plan, the Sack Kingdom has always been missing, which has always made me feel uneasy. "
Chief Alvin gave a dry laugh and held chairman Cruz's hand even tighter.
"Since it's like this, how about we fill this gap together this time?"
"Of course.
I came this time to fill it! "Chairman Cruz said in a heroic voice.
Xu Yi revealed a smile and turned to look at the people behind chief Alvin before asking in a loud voice, "May I ask which one of you is mayor Puyol?"
Mayor Puyol who had been smiling on the side came out with a flattered look.
"Chairman Xu, what orders do you have?"
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and waved his hand, "It's not an order.
But mayor Puyol, since the people from the caravan are here, let's not waste any more time and begin. "
Mayor Puyol looked at chief Alvin with a questioning gaze.
Chief Alvin's face turned serious, "What are you looking at me for, just do what you need to do, listen to Chairman Xu's orders." After saying this, he turned to Xu Yi and revealed a friendly smile.
"Chairman Xu, please."
Xu Yi shook his head, "Chief Alvin, you're mistaken. I'm not the main character this time, the main characters are them."
Seeing Xu Yi point at the Lampari Kingdom caravan behind him, chief Alvin was stunned. He patted his forehead and revealed a look of enlightenment.
"Right, right, right, look at my memory.
Then ….. chairman Cruz, let's go invite the representatives of the companies that came with you. "
Chairman Cruz looked at Xu Yi and seeing him give a nod, he walked with chief Alvin to the caravan in the back with a smile.
According to the plan that the Lampari Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom had agreed on, the Lampari Kingdom sending this large caravan to the Sack Kingdom meant that the free trade zone between the two countries would reopen.
Although Xu Yi was the most important company representative in this caravan, the New Flyer wasn't a company that belonged to the Lampari Kingdom, so they couldn't represent the Lampari Kingdom in the upcoming free trade zone reopening ceremony.
His main purpose in coming to the Sack Kingdom this time was to show his attitude. It meant that the New Flyer would officially cooperate with the Sack Kingdom, indirectly showing the Lampari Kingdom's sincerity in cooperating with the Sack Kingdom.
So in the following ceremony, even if Xu Yi was just a bystander, whether it was chief Alvin or mayor Puyo, as long as they had free time, they would pay attention to him.
In the end, the New Flyer was the main character of this cooperation.
Only the main character that the Sack Kingdom attached the most importance to wasn't shown here.
After the grand ceremony was over, the Lampari Kingdom's caravan moved their goods into the shops that Tucklin Town had already prepared in the free trade zone.
Many of these caravans were companies that already had a foothold in Tucklin Town and there were many that hadn't come before. Because the free trade zone between the two countries had reopened and they had expanded the scope of the free trade, they had also come.
For these new companies, the Sack Kingdom and Tucklin Town had built a large number of shops together, expanding the free trade zone by two times.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce also obtained a rather large store, which would be the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's first store in the Sack Kingdom.
Of course, this store would only sell the household magic machines of the New Flyer.
As for the military magic machines that the Sack Kingdom cared about the most ….. How could they sell them in public?
After the ceremony, Xu Yi didn't go to the banquet prepared by mayor Puyo with everyone, rather he secretly followed a middle aged man who came with mayor Alvin to mayor Puyo's private manor outside the town.
When he walked into the manor's main hall, Xu Yi felt a killing intent that almost materialized hit him.
