Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 371: 369: Gambling (Additional 6)

The pattern of the Old World is actually very clear, and it is a typical competition between two powers.

The Habsburg Empire was founded on the magical industry. It had explosive productivity and was very powerful, but it had very few allies and a harsh international environment.

The traditional feudal empire headed by the Bonaparte Empire took on the title of righteousness, controlled nearly 80% of the power in the entire Old Continent, and tried hard to suppress the expansion and development of the Habsburg Empire.

For example, the Federation of Old Nobles was established with their support.

Although the two sides did not go to war, the contradictions were deep-rooted and the secret struggle was almost fierce.

Situations like the Norman Duchy, where a country has to split into two and stand on both sides, have become the norm.

From Luo Yi's perspective, it is actually hard to say who wins or loses in this battle!
In the past, Roy firmly stood on the side of the Habsburg Empire.

In his opinion, with the development of magical weapons, it should be easy to crush the Knights' combat mode!
But now, with the improvement of his strength, his idea has been shaken.

There is no way. The development of the supernatural path has pushed personal strength to an extremely high level.

A fourth-tier powerhouse is like a small natural disaster, a fifth-tier legend is enough to change the environment and topography for a while, and above that there are sixth-tier demigods, true gods...

Therefore, the advantages of magic machinery don’t seem to be that great.

So much so that Roy began to doubt whether the Habsburg Empire could achieve the final victory.

However, there is one thing that Roy is sure of!

The Habsburg Empire may lose, but the magic energy industry will definitely be promoted.
Because that represents more advanced productivity, more efficient production methods, and more concentrated utilization of personnel.

The simplest thing is that once you have tried the speed and convenience of mechanical die-casting, you will never be able to stand hammering the iron again and again.

Therefore, the future is full of uncertainties, but some futures are inevitable!
As for these nobles before them, they might have heard of magical machines before and thought about them, but they had never seen them with their own eyes.

The shock this day brought to them can be said to be unparalleled, and it also allowed them to truly witness the power of the magic machinery.

At the gate of Lion Manor, everyone separated.

Luo Yi continued walking into the manor, while most of the other nobles chose to leave. They needed time to digest what they saw today.

Only Grand Duchess Aphra and old Freud entered the manor with Roy.

The three of them did not speak or talk, but they tacitly entered the study room on the second floor again and sat down in the sofa area.

Here, it was still Butler Hoover who served personally, bringing tea and snacks.

Luo Yi made a gesture of invitation, then picked up his own cup and started to taste it.

Grand Duchess Aphra put a piece of sugar in it and stirred it evenly, seeming to be in a trance.

As for old Marquis Floyd, he picked up one, two, three, four...

With mechanical movements, the amount of sugar in the tea increased. It was not until the tea was about to overflow that he reacted and continued stirring awkwardly.

No one spoke first, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

It was not until a long time later that old Freud picked up the black tea, took a sip, then put down the teacup with a bitter face and frowned.

Elderly people cannot drink things that are too sweet. He just added too many sugar cubes and couldn’t drink it.

The collision of the teacup and the tea table made a crisp sound, which also attracted the attention of the other two people and they all looked at him.

At this moment, old Floyd broke the silence and said directly: "Why pretend to be profound? I have never learned this trick in all these years. Let's just talk it out!"

Having said that, he pointed the finger at Luo Yi and asked directly: "Today, did you do this on purpose?"

Luo Yi asked back, "I thought I made it very obvious, but you just realized it now?"

"So, you want to drag us into the muddy waters of the magic industry?"

"You don't have to take any action, I don't care!"

"You clearly know that if we met, it would be impossible for us not to be moved?"

"You said that as if I forced you to do it. I remember you were the ones who kept asking me, and then I took you to visit!
Everything has been done according to your wishes, and you are still not happy? ! "

"This this……"

"All right!"

Grand Duchess Aphra interrupted their quarrel. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Loyi and asked, "What do you want?
Or, what do you want us to do?"

Luo Yi asked back: "Now, it's time for you to decide what to do, right?"

After a pause, he continued: "I just showed you a future that is different from the present future. As for how to do it specifically?
You need to make your own choice!"

Old Floyd couldn't wait to interrupt: "Aren't you afraid that we will learn from you completely?"

"Everything you have done is here. As long as we carefully investigate and summarize, and then completely replicate your model, aren't you afraid that we can surpass you?"

Luo Yi suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a joke, and his smile was full of sarcasm.

"Learn from me? Copy me completely? Are you really afraid that you won't die fast enough?!"

Roy's words were merciless, and Marquis Floyd's expression became ferocious.
Chloe continued, "I have the help and support of the Habsburg Empire. Do you have it?"

"I have my own network of connections in the Empire and a huge industry in Oakland City. Do you have that?" "I am a top mechanical designer, and Lilia can implement my designs. She is the best wife to help you. Do you have that?"

"I have a fist product. Even the Empire has a huge market and needs to order from me. Do you have one?"

Luo Yi's voice became calmer and calmer, but as he spoke, an invisible pressure came over him.

Even old Freud felt as if he was facing a towering mountain and was being suffocated.

But he still wanted to speak, to argue. He wanted to say that he could find a way to solve everything Luo Yi said.

Until the end, Luo Yi whispered: "The most important thing is that because of this day, the Flower Territory has lost an entire generation, and the inheritance of the Raymond family is almost cut off.
Do you dare to do these?"

After hearing this, old Floyd was completely speechless. His straight back collapsed and he sank back into the sofa.

It seems that everyone has become autistic because of the criticism!
To be honest, Luo Yi could more or less understand his loss of composure and anxiety.

Although the Raymond family has a long history, the Freud family is equally good.

Their bloodline is somewhat special, and the chance of giving birth to a genius is extremely high. The descendants of the family either have profound attainments in magic, or have gone a long way on the path of warriors.

Coupled with the high pressure and competition strategies implemented within the family, almost every direct descendant has become a king of roll.

Moreover, in the entire Norman Duchy, apart from the Norman family which has clear legendary strongmen and the Raymond family whose ancestors were once wealthy, only the Floyd family has records of legendary strongmen.

It can be said that although the Floyd family is poor, short of money, and has a fiscal deficit every year, they are really good at fighting!

If you want to live a good life in the Old World, fighting ability always comes first, and wealth and connections come second.

In a horizontal comparison, the Raymond family and the Freud family each had their own strengths and weaknesses, and the differences were not much.

Even the Raymond family suffered a great loss of strength because of the disaster.

But it has only been a short time since then, and the situation has been completely transformed.

Just what Luo Yi had shown them already represented the terrifying war potential of the Flower Territory.

If a war breaks out now, it is possible that Loy will be able to directly defeat the entire Norman Duchy.

There is a saying that goes, "I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, but I am also afraid that my brothers will drive a Land Rover!"

This is roughly the mentality of old Marquis Freud.

Of course, in addition to this, he also feels worried and helpless about future changes.

Times have changed. How should the Floyd family cope with the situation?

This is not just a problem for him, it is also a problem facing Grand Duchess Aphra, and it is urgent and must be faced.

Only then did Grand Duchess Aphra put down her teacup. She looked at Old Floyd and said, "Calm down now, huh?"

Old Floyd didn't say anything, just gave a wry smile.

Grand Duchess Aphra then looked at Loyi with a complicated look in her eyes, but she still said, "Loyi, I believe that you showed us so many things not just to show off!"

"What do you think? Tell me."

Luo Yi also restrained his sharpness and said softly: "The situation in Xianhua Territory is special. I was the one who promoted the industrialization of magic energy. We have a direction, a goal, and a plan, and we can steadily advance.

I call this late industrialization.

But this is really not suitable for all territories."

“For you, if you want to learn how to be a flower collar, I’m afraid you can’t even get past the human level.

After all, you can't handle so many vassals and knights, and if you want to liberate their farmers and occupy their land, you are forcing them to rebel."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"My idea is very simple. Instead of taking drastic measures and intensifying the conflict, it is better to take subtle actions and proceed step by step."

"Tell me more specifically?"

“I can transfer some orders and technologies to you. You can try it on a small scale, make progress bit by bit, lead the trend, and let your vassals and knights gradually accept it.

For example, I think the most suitable one for you is the magic hammer forge.

As long as you buy one or two, and pair them with a group of skilled blacksmiths, you can set up a blacksmith shop exclusively for you, which will greatly improve the quality and efficiency of forging."

"This is the process of accumulating talents. It can also allow your vassals to see the superiority of magic energy machinery."

At this time, old Floyd jumped out again: "Would you be so kind?"

After a pause, he quickly tried to make amends: "What I mean is, what benefit can you get from helping us like this?"

Luo Yi smiled, with a hint of amusement in his smile, and said, "Can't I be merciful and give you a hand?"

After hearing these words, not only old Freud, but even Grand Duchess Aphra had a strange expression on her face.

Well, we are all political creatures. It would be too much to talk about feelings when communicating in the name of family.

So, Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, became serious, and said: "I want to say that giving you orders and letting you embark on the path of magic energy industry is a huge benefit.
I don’t know, do you believe it or not?”
