Regarding the new communication technology, Sulian and the others discussed it for a long time.
During this period, Nalin had already returned to the Peter Holy Domain in advance, and they still didn't finish the discussion until after five days and five nights.
There was no other way. They were all unfamiliar with communication magic originally. At most, they only knew the general principles, but they had no involvement in the actual production or research and development, etc.
Even though they had excellent mechanical skills, they basically had to start from scratch.
Fortunately, the technologies Sulian brought back were relatively detailed, and with their existing technologies, they were able to adapt to and master them quite quickly. At the same time, Sulian also told them about his "invention", that is, the communication concept from his original world.
Uncle Cam and Mavis were the first to understand and comprehend it, and they had a strong desire to try and research it!
Because they already understood that this would be another invention that would change the world's communication landscape, and it could even reach the level where everyone could use "communication magic"!
Because they had a magic pumping station. As long as the magic power transportation was in place, then anyone could master "communication magic"!
But at the same time.
The order Sulian gave was still that they were only allowed to research and optimize, and not to use it in practice.
If they needed to use communication, they could only use the existing communication means in this world, and not display the most advanced technology.
The reason for emphasizing this repeatedly was still the same.
Before they became powerful themselves, overly advanced technologies and concepts might all become a benefit for powerful empires.
Moreover...
The current strategic goals were just these three small countries, the Kingdom of Yaminik, the Kingdom of Lanwu, and the Kingdom of Sbai. There was no need to use so many advanced things at all. The mechanical forces of railway transportation combined with airplanes and tanks were enough to destroy
the military facilities of the targets within a short period of time.
The time when these inventions would truly be used on a large scale would basically be when they had to face the Kingdom of Kenrimei.
...
Finally, Sulian returned to the Peter Holy Domain.
Unfortunately, it was raining heavily today, and Sulian came back with a battle qi barrier all the way.
"If I hadn't sensed your aura, I wouldn't have known you, you brat, were coming back today," Esha greeted him unhappily.
"Brother~" Sylvie came running over with a sweet voice, taking small steps.
"Hey! Little Sylvie, come here and let brother hug you," Sulian said affectionately as he picked up the little one.
Sylvie, who was now three years old, could basically communicate normally.
When he left in February, the little one had cried a lot. He just didn't know how Polly and Ivy had comforted her later.
"Yo, you've grown a lot and become even cuter," Sulian said with a smile as he teased her.
"Hehe," Sylvie giggled naively.
Her brother had finally come back, and Sister Nalin, who had often played with her a few days ago, had also come back. There was nothing that made the little one happier.
Sulian played with his lovely sister for a long time. Even when it was time for dinner, the little one still clung to him, afraid that her brother would run away again.
This harmonious scene between the siblings was naturally something that the family was happy to see.
It was not until later that Sylvie was carried to bed when she was tired from playing.
Only then did it come to the time to talk about serious matters.
...
"Is Sylvie's physical condition still stable?" Sulian asked first.
"Not bad. Your grandmother has been helping to suppress the werewolf bloodline. There won't be any problems for the next few years," Esha nodded.
"Okay. I've basically handed over all the technologies I learned in the Alpha Empire, mainly the communication technology, to Uncle Cam and the others. And I've revised the subsequent research and development arrangements at the new factory, giving higher priority to the fuel engine machine tools,"
Sulian said directly.
"That's fine. You know more about mechanical research than we do. Just follow your arrangements," Esha said.
"The reactions from the kingdom so far are still within our expectations, right?" Sulian asked.
"More or less. The various nobles and chambers of commerce that have cooperated with us are also very stable," Polly also said.
"What about the anti-kingdom sentiment within the territory?" Sulian asked.
"With Tuttle's troops stationed here, it's now at an all-time high. I specifically made the soldiers under his command act unruly, which has made the people in the territory very dissatisfied with them and also very dissatisfied with the entire kingdom," Esha said with a faint smile.
Everything had already been planned.
"Then it's time to 'come up with ideas'," Sulian said with a smile.
Coming up with ideas.
In fact, it meant creating new public opinion. But this time, it wasn't just aimed at the kingdom.
It was to use the pressure the kingdom was putting on them now and spread new public opinion within the territory, such as suggesting that if they could break away from the kingdom's control and no longer be restricted by the kingdom. And specific methods would be given, such as trying to declare in
dependence or capturing new territories abroad.
It might seem absurd, but under the pressure of the kingdom, there would always be people who would start to believe in such unrealistic ideas.
Because after all, they were still the people of the Kingdom of Avisu.
Although they now had the identities of the people under Prince Esha in the Peter Holy Domain, it was obviously not a long-term solution.
In addition, King Chivero of the kingdom was likely to abdicate now. Then whether the new king would take back Prince Esha's territory, or even reduce the size of the territory, would be a very serious problem.
No one wanted to lose their land!
No one wanted to lose everything that Prince Esha had given them!
They all didn't want to go back to being the common people who were oppressed by the nobles and manor lords!
...
"What new ideas do you have?" Esha asked.
"To deepen the impression, I suggest increasing the number of bloody incidents, and it's best if there are ordinary people who have bought insurance," Sulian said directly, looking a bit cold.
Polly frowned slightly but didn't refute.
"I also had a similar idea, but I didn't think about the insurance issue. Indeed, we can also promote insurance and increase the public's trust in it. In this way, even people from other districts of the kingdom will be more willing to believe in the authenticity of insurance," Esha said.
In fact, casualties caused by intentional harm were not within the scope of compensation.
But they were an insurance chamber of commerce. Even if it wasn't within the scope, what if they still chose to compensate the affected people?
It would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it?
"Then should we let Tuttle be the one to carry it out?" Polly asked.
"Yes. If there is a better candidate, we can also change it. As long as it represents the kingdom's dissatisfaction and oppression towards us, and then we just need to let the public opinion ferment and guide it."
"After that, we can spread the sentiment to the army. The soldiers who have received training on tanks and airplanes and have seen a large number of new weapons and equipment will be more likely to develop the sentiment of setting up their own independent forces. Then it will be easier to mobilize f
or war."
"Otherwise, asking them to fight in peacetime, even if we have high prestige, it's still easy to cause problems," Sulian nodded.
In simple terms, they needed a reason to start a war.
Being oppressed;
Needing new territory;
Needing a new independent identity.
These could all be used as appropriate reasons, and they could definitely be used to stir up emotions.
At the same time, under the influence of public opinion, it was "themselves" who first had these ideas, not "requests" from Prince Esha.
It would be best if they begged Prince Esha to strive for the ideas of "independence" or "new territory"!
...
"You guys are really getting more and more skilled at using these things," Philomena suddenly said at this moment.
To be precise, she had just come back.
"This is for our interests, and in the end, they will also benefit. I don't think there's any problem. What do you think, Grandma?" Sulian said with a smile, not caring.
"Do as you like. But recently, more and more people have been secretly sneaking in. If my perception was correct some time ago, there should have been an eighth-rank Holy Warrior who secretly sneaked in. The blood aura gave me the feeling that he should be relatively young," Philomena said.
"Some time ago?" Esha frowned slightly. He hadn't heard about this.
"I just went to confirm it. He tried to sneak in again, but I guess he felt something was wrong and retreated," Philomena said.
She hadn't confirmed it before, but now she was completely sure.
"Can you tell which kingdom sent him?" Sulian asked.
"The battle qi gave me a feeling... It's a bit like the battle qi school of the Kingdom of Winno, so it might be from them. But if it's an adventurer, it's not strange for them to practice the battle qi of any school, so we can't make a direct judgment," Philomena said.
"Then it should be the Kingdom of Winno," Esha was rather certain.
"As long as it's not someone from the Kingdom of Kenrimei, there's no need to worry. Even in my prediction, after capturing the three kingdoms, when we try to build a good relationship with the Kingdom of Winno, we can take the initiative to give them some of the magic vehicle technology or directly
help them build railways," Sulian had such a plan.
"That's not impossible..." Esha thought for a while.
"After all, they are a landlocked country. As long as they don't increase maritime transportation, they really won't be able to obtain greater benefits in a short time. Instead, if they become stronger and can attract the attention of the Kingdom of Kenrimei, it would also be a good decision," Polly
could understand Sulian's idea.
"This depends on our control over the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Sbai later. We need to ensure that after they obtain the technology or receive our assistance, they won't think of attacking us immediately," Sulian said.
"They don't have the guts to do that. After all, we initially used the title of a duchy, which means we are part of the Kingdom of Avisu. Even if we become independent, we are still an interest community of the same family. At least the Kingdom of Avisu at that time won't want the Kingdom of Winno t
o annex us and become the dominant power," Polly said with a smile.
He knew very well the strategy that the Kingdom of Avisu had been following for the past three hundred years.
That is, the neighboring countries could fight each other as they liked, but no one country could completely annex the others and become one or two powerful kingdoms. There must be several separate countries with certain contradictions.
Only in this way could they serve as a buffer zone and allow the Kingdom of Avisu to continue to be stable.
If Esha and the others annexed the three countries and became independent, then the Kingdom of Avisu could only default to them as the new buffer zone and would never allow them to be annexed again.
Otherwise, could they really rely on the Black Dariu Mountains to block the ambitious new forces?
...
"You guys..." Philomena was speechless towards her husband, son, and grandson.
"Forget it. I'm going to accompany my granddaughter-in-law. I won't talk about these things with you."
Philomena left directly.
The granddaughter-in-law she mentioned naturally referred to Nalin. After going to the Alpha Empire together for a new semester, she was even more determined that Nalin was her granddaughter-in-law.
Although currently, it was just the wishful thinking of her as an elder.
"Why does Grandma always like to talk about such things when we're discussing serious topics?" Sulian was also speechless.
"In a few more years, I'm afraid she'll be even more serious about it," Esha sighed.
"..." Sulian.
Is the pressure to get married for werewolves really that serious? Or is it just Grandma's personality like this?
