I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"I have been to many countries and have seen all kinds of relationships between lords and people, fear and awe, fear and hatred. Awe is rare, most of them are the latter."

'But I felt a lot of indescribable complex emotions from him, some of which seemed to be something I could only feel in some families.'

Medea smiled when he heard this: "That sounds like a good thing."

Chapter 36 The enemy has Gundam? !

"Good words? Maybe."

Xueliya tilted her head and her two ponytails swayed. Medea, who was standing next to her, felt itchy and wanted to grab a handful to try the feel.

The other party seemed to sense something and moved his head to the side with a look of vigilance: "Can't you tie it up? Why are you always thinking about me?"

Medea: "..."

"In fact, what we find most strange is your actions. You seem to have done something really extraordinary here."

Xue Liya looked at the ordinary people wearing simple factory work clothes who passed by from time to time.

Although they looked tired, there was light in their eyes. They were holding ingredients in their hands or talking and laughing loudly in groups of three or four.

They are of all races, genders, and have different looks. It seems a little strange to see them together, but the atmosphere is surprisingly harmonious.

Factory recruitment slogans such as "Equal pay for equal work, racial equality" can be seen everywhere. Nobles and commoners walk on the same road in peace, and no one salutes the nobles.

In Shirleya's opinion, all of this was incompatible with the world environment she had seen for many years. If she had to use a word to describe it, she thought of vitality.

Mitia tilted her head like her. "What's strange about that? It may be because you have become accustomed to many wrong things, and are not used to the way the world should be."

'How should the world be? Shouldn't the world be as it is, allowing it to develop on its own without much intervention? The capable rise, the weak fall, this is nature.'

"For example, don't worry about whether I am an old woman! According to our own calculations, I am still a child in the strict sense!"

At this point, Xue Liya pouted angrily, but continued:

'So I don't understand why you should care about their life or death, they are just insignificant passers-by in your life.'

'The glory of dynasties falls, races rise and fall, life and death, the world remains the same, nothing is different.'

Shirleya spoke indifferently, as if she had seen this kind of thing so many times that she was used to it.

"I don't know why, maybe I just want to make a difference in this world~"

After saying that, Medea rolled her eyes and grabbed one of the ponytails: "I always feel that you talk too much. The purpose of your coming to me should not be as simple as just seeing this strange person like me."

"Eh?! Let go! Isn't it enough for me to tell you."

Xueliya, who was chewing a candied haws, was caught off guard by Medea and begged for mercy. After she was freed, she glared at her with a red face and said unhappily:

"It's nothing, they just sent me to save your life, Olgovich is going to attack you."

"Oligovich? The Pope? Fight with me? Save my life?"

Medea was somewhat confused by her remarks:

"He wants to kill me for such a small piece of territory? But I'm not saying anything. I really don't think he can do anything to me."

It's not that she looks down on the power that the Pope can mobilize, she just simply looks down on the fighting power of this world's army.

Last time, she had defeated hundreds of thousands of allied forces of the Kingdom. Now Astaire is many times stronger than before. Can we defeat her by charging with faith? What a joke!

Xue Liya did not refute her, but nodded in agreement. Pointing to the quadruple Maxim anti-aircraft machine gun position on the roof:

"Is that what you rely on? Olgovich alone can't do anything to you, but the Vatican is behind him. If you lose, it doesn't matter. If you win, you will most likely have to face it."

Medea was speechless: "If we fight him head-on, isn't it the Holy See that we are fighting against? What's the difference?"

Xue Liya rolled her eyes: "There is a huge difference! If the branch church can't beat you, the main continent's church country, the Metropolitan Diocese, will take action."

"They are not afraid of this thing of yours. You can't hit the Vatican Knights' magic power armor with this weapon."

"Magic Power Armor?! What is this?"

Medea had never heard this word before, and her intuition told her that it was not a good thing.

"It's a kind of goblin power armor that needs to be controlled by a magic knight. It's about the same height as your cannon!"

Hearing this, Mediah's face was filled with question marks. Three-meter-high power armor?

This can't be a Gundam, right? How does he get the power? With this power, he can build anything but a Gundam?!

It's hard to say whether the Maxim machine gun can be used to fight. It sounds like they are not products of the same era...

Before she could digest it, Xue Liya continued:

"But the diocese doesn't have many weapons like this. They will probably send a small team, but I doubt you can stop them with just these. After all, with your magic level... Tsk~ their magic resistance is very high. Even if I encounter a small team, it will be very troublesome."

Medea calmed down and asked what she wanted to know most: "Can this magic armor you mentioned be destroyed if it is hit by my machine gun?"

Xue Liya thought for a moment and said, "If the hit lasts for more than 10 seconds, it's possible! And I've also seen the image of your cannon. If it can hit the front, it can also break it, but you can't hit it!"

"Your weapons are powerful, but they can't move and have difficulty turning. These are all very serious flaws. If you can't catch up or hit, then no matter how powerful they are, they are meaningless."

Medea, who had recovered from the shock, sneered when he heard this: "I'm not afraid of not being able to hit it, I'm just afraid that it can resist! As long as it can be damaged, it will be easy to deal with."

She realized now that this so-called magic armor was probably a product specially designed for magicians. It was immune to magic, had high speed, low defense and high attack. It was a massacre when it rushed into the mage group.

But what does it have to do with her? She is a magician, but she doesn't need to do it herself.

Although most industrialized weapons are powered by magic, they mainly provide kinetic energy and explosive damage. Wouldn't it be enough to replace them with armor-piercing bullets? Shock waves are not magic damage either!

And when he thought that the power core they used could actually carry this kind of junk around, Medea's heart was burning with excitement.

It was obvious that their power core was an incredible treasure, and she wanted to grab a few and take them apart to study them carefully!

As for missing the target, it’s because the firepower coverage is not strong enough!

However, this information is indeed very important. At least it prevented the other party from having the opportunity to decapitate her because of the lack of knowledge of her background. Moreover, the other party came specifically to protect her.

Thinking of this, Medea bowed her head sincerely to express her gratitude to Xue Liya. Her appearance made Xue Liya a little uncomfortable. She grabbed her with her little hands and refused:

"Hey, what are you doing~"

"You are a junior, right? There are only so many people in our clan, and most of them sleep all day. It's a rare opportunity for me to meet someone as interesting as you, so I can't let you be bullied."

Medea was touched and hugged the other person in her arms: "Little Shirley, you are so kind to me!"

Shelia was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. She pushed Medea's chest with all her strength: "Pervert! Let me go! And don't call me weird names! I'm your elder!"

Medea was not convinced: "You were a child and I was also a child, so why are you my elder?"

Xueliya: “?”

Chapter 37 You pick up the food and I overturn the table, let’s settle the score!

Shirleya's position is also easy to arrange, just a secretary position will do.

However, her petite appearance was really distracting and she felt guilty about using child labor, so she deliberately used mental magic to downplay her presence.

Medea also asked the other party why she didn't become an adult. Shelia first emphasized that she was just short, not young! Then she explained briefly.

In fact, this is an adaptation mechanism shared by all long-lived species. To put it simply, the mind is limited by the appearance.

It’s not that long-lived races will not age, it’s just that their timeline is different from that of other races. The brain will automatically slow down the absorption and feedback of emotions in order to allow enough time to forget.

No matter how the environment, abilities, and knowledge change, the mind always remains at a level consistent with the appearance.

The timeline will only synchronize its frequency when they actively want to remember a person or thing.

And this is one of the things they think is strange about Medea, her emotions are too rich.

No matter how much fun they had, Medea quickly brought Shirleya back to the Commander's Mansion and began her preparations.

Since she knew that someone wanted to attack her, she definitely couldn't fight back according to the other party's rhythm. That would be the worst approach.

The first thing is to check the strength of your own troops.

After years of external development, Astar has stockpiled a huge amount of raw materials, and the soldiers have enough time to train. It even has spare capacity to allow some people of appropriate age to participate in reserve training.

Now Astar's standing army is maintained at 40, the size of standard divisions. It has completed the replacement and improvement of new metal ammunition, hundreds of artillery pieces, over machine guns, and has achieved the level of two machine guns at the company level.

The small number of artillery pieces is only because the technology is still being upgraded. There is no need to build too many old-style cannons. If we produce field artillery at full capacity, the number can be increased rapidly.

However, Medea is not in a hurry in this regard. She is still waiting for the engine to mature so that the field artillery can be pulled by vehicles instead of relying on livestock such as horses.

The total strength of forty divisions is a huge pressure for Astar's current population of over two million, which is maintained purely by huge trade profits.

It can be said that even if the Pope did not fight, she would probably have to vent some of her emotions in the next two years.

At her request, the highest military meeting was held in the Commander's Mansion. After briefly explaining the current severe situation to officers at all levels, everyone began to study and arrange the attack plan.

This process is long because it requires a lot of analysis and discussion, as well as specific deployment and arrangements of troops at the tactical level.

The main idea at the strategic level is very clear, that is, to replace defense with offense, to quickly attack and carve out depth on the enemy's land.

Then the fortification troops followed up to build defenses and train tracks to create a transit station.

When the offensive line is stalled, go back and screen again to eliminate the remaining enemies, and finally return to the defense line to fight a positional battle with the enemy.

In this way, the originally small Astar homeland will not be threatened, and the operation of industry can be guaranteed to the greatest extent possible to deliver supplies and ammunition to the front line.

As for the Pope, you do the first day and I do the fifteenth.

While the battle plan was being adjusted in the military meeting, Medea devoted most of his attention to integrating his own strength and preparing to eliminate the hidden problems in the territory.

She reorganized the previous governing policies and slogans and formally established the National Socialist Party, and she became the first party leader.

This time Medea was also very ruthless. Not only did she want to fight back, but she also wanted to cause riots directly in the kingdoms after the steam revolution.

She provided them with supplies and ammunition to build up their military forces, and provided them with ideological and spiritual weapons.

All the civil servants who had been sent out to popularize new science policies in local areas and investigate the extent of policy implementation were recalled by Medea.

They are the group that best understands how much benefit Medea's policies have brought to the people, and they are also the people who most firmly admire Medea.

Medea formed the first SS unit with them as the core.

Their first mission after being organized was to ban all religious sites in the territory of Astar, especially the Goddess Cult, which had the largest following.

Since they are enemies, we must use all available means.

Because if this new country that is about to be established must have a belief, then only one belief is allowed!

The specific operation methods of Media's guards are also very simple.
