"Xu Yi ….. Although I know that your ideas have always been different, this time ….." Seveni slightly knit her brows as she looked at Xu Yi with eyes filled with confusion.
"But this time ….. isn't it a bit too different?"
"Why don't you just say that I'm crazy like everyone else?"
Xu Yi spread his hands and revealed a relaxed smile, "Anyway, this isn't the first time I've been called this."
"Of course you're already used to it." Seveni rolled her eyes.
Seveni rolled her eyes at him, "But I still don't understand, why did you make this decision?"
"Is it very hard to understand?"
"Of course it's very hard to understand!" Seeing Xu Yi's relaxed appearance, Seveni was a bit angry.
"The military magic machines are such an important thing, but you actually promised to let the other countries have the method to make them, how can I understand this?
Do you really like to give away things that are so important to you to others so casually?
Not to mention the military magic machine technology this time, the cement, the household magic machine technology, and etc ….. are all like this!
Is it very fun to do this? "
Xu Yi was a bit surprised by Seveni's sudden intense reaction. He looked at her in surprise before asking back, "Seveni, the one who benefited the most from this ….. was the Lampari Kingdom ….."
"So I was very happy with your decision before, but this time, I'm very unhappy!" Seveni said with a serious look.
Seveni said with a serious look, "Moreover, the military magic machine technology you're planning on transferring this time is more important than anything else. Before you did this, did you consider our Lampari Kingdom's position? Did you consider my thoughts?"
Xu Yi couldn't help scratching his head as his heart was filled with confusion.
Seveni's tone was a bit strange when she said this … …
"This ….. Seveni, although I've decided to let the other countries on the continent have the military magic machine technology, I've given them a condition which is that they must have a certain industrial base.
This so called industrial base will be determined by our Frestech Chamber of Commerce and it will be divided into grades.
Once they reach a certain level, we will release a certain amount of technology to them.
You should be clear on this, right? "
"Of course I know.
But this will allow the other countries to have the military magic machines, right?
It's fine if it's a small country, but if large empires like the Malor Empire or the Kandla Empire have the technology, what do you think will happen? "Seveni asked back.
"Nothing." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Creating a certain industrial base and a complete industrial system isn't an easy matter, you should be clear on this.
This means that even if the other countries choose to join this plan, they can't surpass the Lampari Kingdom in terms of military magic machines, they can't threaten you. "
"Is that so?"
Seveni gave a soft sigh. After being silent for a bit, she revealed a faint smile again and said to Xu Yi with a nod, "Alright, I know that your dream has always been to use the magic machine industry to change the continent, letting everyone's lives improve because of the magic machine industry.
Your current method isn't wrong, but Xu Yi, have you thought that this isn't very efficient? "
"'s's' not 'high'?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"What do you mean?"
"Although the other countries on the continent are interested in the military magic machines, you can use this to entice them to develop the magic machine industry in their country, so there will be many countries that will support you.
But each country has different strength and their determination to cooperate with this plan is different. I'm afraid it'll be good if half of the countries are willing to invest enough manpower and money in this. "
"I've given them the chance to choose, so if they aren't willing, there's nothing I can do."
Xu Yi gave a shrug and spread his hands, "But if they are eliminated by the world because they are behind, they can't blame me."
"Since it's like this, why don't you just choose a country to support and use the military magic machines to unify the continent? Then you can naturally promote the magic machine industry?"
Xu Yi looked at Seveni in surprise, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Seveni nodded without any hesitation.
"Yes.
Xu Yi, our Lampari Kingdom already has a very good magic machine industry foundation. As long as you give us a bit more support, we can easily create a complete magic machine industry system.
If you're willing to give us more support in terms of military magic machines, I believe we can easily defeat the surrounding countries and smoothly develop the magic machine industry in the surrounding countries.
If we have enough time, it isn't impossible to unify the continent. "
Xu Yi seriously looked at Seveni for a while before he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows.
"Seveni, you are the queen of the Lampari Kingdom. From your position, it is normal to have this idea.
But if I really plan on doing this, wouldn't the Malor Empire be a much better choice than the Lampari Kingdom? "
"But the Malor Empire's relationship with you and the New Flyer isn't as deep as ours." Seveni said with a smile.
"No, relationships can be cultivated. I believe that the Malor Empire will be very willing to cultivate this relationship with us." Xu Yi still shook his head.
Seeing that Seveni still wanted to say something, Xu Yi raised his hand to cut her off. He said with a serious look, "Seveni, I understand your thoughts and I also had this idea before … …"
"Then why aren't you willing to do this?" Seveni couldn't help asking.
"Because ….. after seriously considering it, I've found that this method is very inefficient." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Seveni revealed a confused look.
"As long as you're willing to fully support us, with the power of the military magic machines, there isn't a single country that can stop us on the battlefield. It won't be hard to conquer the other countries."
"You're thinking too much … …" Xu Yi shook his head.
"Seveni, you are the queen of the Lampari Kingdom, so you should know better than anyone.
Tell me, in this war between the Lampari Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, how much did the Lampari Kingdom spend? "
Seveni was stunned. Her expression changed several times before she finally replied in a low voice, "According to the statistics of the finance department, it's around four million and seven hundred thousand gold coins."
"Look, this war lasted less than a month and it went very smoothly, but we've already spent four million and seven hundred thousand gold coins.
If it was a larger scale war that lasted longer, how much do you think it would cost? "Xu Yi kept asking.
Seveni slightly knit her brows and refuted in an unconvinced voice, "But we can still obtain enough compensation from the Sack Kingdom. Adding in the other benefits, the final profit is far more than the four million and seven hundred thousand gold coins spent.
In short, this is still a profit.
Could it be that this isn't good? "
"But you have to invest a large amount in the seven cities we received from the Sack Kingdom, right?
Tell me, with the investment, do you still dare say that you've made a profit? "
Seveni was silent for a bit before saying, "Xu Yi, I don't understand how your question is related to what you said before."
"It's related to a lot." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
"With the Lampari Kingdom's current strength, it's already hard to conquer the Sack Kingdom. To conquer the entire continent ….. how long do you think it would take?"
Seveni could only be silent again.
She was very clear that Xu Yi's words were very reasonable.
Even if there was no lack of countries in the history of Sines that conquered the continent with military might, these countries were all short-lived and couldn't last long.
Moreover, even for these countries, it took several hundred years of accumulation for many generations to have this kind of strength, it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Although the Lampari Kingdom had been established for several hundred years, they had always been a weak and small country, so they didn't have this kind of background.
Even if they had the powerful military magic machines developed by New Flyer, giving them an absolute advantage on the battlefield, war wasn't decided by the battlefield. What was more important was the things outside the battlefield.
For example, logistics, or the political environment, or … …
It wasn't a problem to win one or two battles, but to win more battles and conquer other countries, it wasn't something that could be solved with military magic machines.
"I know ….. Our Lampari Kingdom is too weak compared to the other countries on the continent, it's impossible for us to support you and New Flyer like the Malor Empire, but Xu Yi, you really can't wait?" Seveni said with a sigh.
Xu Yi revealed a bitter smile and lowered his head to think. He took two steps forward and came in front of Seveni. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into Seveni's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Seveni, if I have to choose a country on the Sines to support, I will definitely choose the Lampari Kingdom. It's not for anything else, it's just because you are the queen of the Lampari Kingdom."
Seveni trembled and her eyes were covered in a layer of mist.
"Then why are you … …"
"But I said it just now, if I rely on the Lampari Kingdom to realize my dream, it will take too long and I can't wait.
Even if I can break through to become an Arch Magus, I will only live for a short hundred years and a third of that has already passed.
So in the remaining two thirds of the time, I have to grasp it and do everything I can to push this dream forward.
You ….. can you understand me? "
Seeing Xu Yi's sincere eyes and feeling the warm breath coming from Xu Yi's nostrils, Seveni's eyes became more blurred.
After a bit of silence, Seveni slowly nodded.
"Alright, since this is your decision, I won't say anything else."
"Then ….. let's end our conversation here.
You don't seem to be in a good mood today, so pay attention to your rest. I'll be heading back first. "Xu Yi put down his hands and said goodbye to Seveni.
Seveni didn't stop him, she just watched Xu Yi leave in a daze for a while. When he was far away, she muttered to herself in a low voice.
Do you know that I'm not interested in making the Lampari Kingdom strong at all? Everything is for you ….. and the child? "
