I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"Eh? Is this...ok?"

Mi Wei's eyes flickered with excitement when she heard this, but she felt that the two of them didn't seem that familiar with each other, so she was a little embarrassed to accept the gift, but she really wanted to...

Seeing her rosy cheeks, Medea smiled and hugged her arm: "No problem, this is a gift from my sister to you."

Although the recent experience is a bit complicated, in the end, he is just an underage little white rabbit who just came out of a closed monastery. It is still easy to coax him away~

"By the way, with the new religion and new atmosphere, I think you should make your own religious uniforms. The pitch-black ones you have now don't suit you very well."

Medea changed the subject and looked at the loose black nun's uniform she was wearing with disdain.

The nuns wear loose linen robes, various headscarves and veils to cover themselves tightly, and with a pretty face, they are busy in the monastery all their lives.

They are not allowed to speak loudly, laugh, or yawn. Everything belongs to the dean. Only the dean and other people are qualified to wear colorful clothes and jewelry. They have nothing except working and serving the statues.

Rather than saying that Medea disliked the black robe, it would be more accurate to say that she disliked the meaning behind this attire.

Mi Wei looked at her clothes in confusion and felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

However, she did not refute Medea's suggestion, because it was necessary to distinguish it from the original Holy See.

After discussion, the two changed the color of the Protestant uniform to white as the main color of the clothes, while the church emblem remained red.

Although white is not resistant to dirt, it is extremely eye-catching when paired with red. In many cases, being a little dirty is not necessarily a bad thing. Under the current general conditions of the public, it can help people better blend in with the crowd.

Finally, Medea invited the other party to participate in his coronation ceremony

That’s right, ascend the throne!

After much consideration, in order to maintain his power and preserve the results of his reforms, Medea finally chose the same compromise solution as Emperor Napoleon in his previous life - a dual constitutional monarchy.

Many other systems seemed good, but because of her extremely special identity and the general trend of the magical world, she could not choose any of them.

Moreover, most people do not have a high level of education, and having been under the rule of the royal aristocracy for a long time, they have a certain degree of dependence and habitual psychology.

No matter how much you explain to them, it probably won't be as direct and effective as saying it in the name of the Queen...

At present, Medea's power is unlimited. As the military, political party and the trinity, she cannot delegate power in the severe external environment. However, if she does not delegate power and follows the path of other heads of systems, it will leave a very bad start.

The first generation of leaders has so much power, so what will the next generation think? Will they also take her achievements as their ultimate goal? I can only say that those who understand will understand.

Therefore, constitutional monarchy is actually a better option for her at the moment, because she is ready to break away from the Astar family. There will be a monarch but no royal family. She is the first and the last one.

She has the party and the army in her hands, and has organized a ruling parliament to delegate power. Otherwise, there would be too much to do and she would be exhausted. However, the implementation of important orders requires her review and decision.

She will be the head of state, the highest judicial chief, the highest tax chief, the party leader, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, etc.

It has the power to appoint and dismiss the prime minister, ministers, judges, military officers, and has the power to convene, suspend and dissolve parliament, approve laws, declare war and make peace.

In fact, considering her reputation, whether she has the right to ask or not is actually a matter of her words. When necessary, she can even quit and play the monarch offline system...

After the capture of Hendak, all lines within Astar were opened up, and Hendak's troops began to support other fronts.

One group joined the army that had previously blocked the supply line and captured Memrotok in one fell swoop.

The other force formed a pincer attack with the troops attacking the Lausach territory from above, and captured it under the guidance of the guides in the territory.

After the peace was restored, Astar's territory had reached the size of a country, so it could consider founding a country, reorganizing its internal affairs, and then appear in the world with a brand new look.

As for the name of the country, she had already thought of it, um...

Seris National Social Federation

She needed a national name that had no regional characteristics and no racial differences.

The word Seris has never appeared in this world, and no one knows its special meaning, so it is still very "appropriate".

Chapter 64 Take Them Home

Three days later, the women arrived in Silvias. After simply disguising themselves, the four women came to the train station in Silvias, ready to board the steam train to Astar.

"...What's this?"

Looking at the huge smoke-belching behemoth stopping in front of her, Mi Wei whispered to Anna beside her. Since coming to Sylvias, she has been curious about everything.

Like the self-moving carriage that brought them here on the road, she still didn't understand the principle behind it. Why could it start and turn just by twisting the steering wheel?

Anna thought for a moment and replied, "Well... it's a form of transportation similar to the one we used when we came here, but this one can seat more people!"

And the larger and longer iron box in front of her, feeling the faint vibration under her feet, Mi Wei guessed that the weight of this thing must be terrifying.

The railing in front of the train was slow to rise, and the conductors were standing by the railing, waiting for something. The passengers couldn't help but whisper, but no one asked, and they continued to wait patiently.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the entrance to the station. Teams of Astell soldiers formed two long lines and walked towards the platform.

The soldiers in one row were holding a medium-sized wooden box in their hands, and their comrades beside them would turn their heads to take a look from time to time.

When Anna saw the small boxes, her eyes suddenly turned red and she turned to look to the other side.

"Dear passengers, please line up in an orderly manner and give way to the middle aisle to allow our military comrades to pass first."

"Dear passengers..."

Under the command of the loudspeaker and the conductors, everyone moved away from the center, and the Medea girls also adjusted their positions according to the command.

Only after all the soldiers had boarded the bus were passengers like Medea allowed to board. The soldiers sat neatly on one side of the bus, and the civilians on the other side, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

Mi Wei sat in her seat with a curious look on her face. She fiddled with the small table between the four of them, and then looked curiously at the soldiers on the other side.

She couldn't help but lean her little head towards Medea's ear and whispered, "Why are your soldiers sitting with the people? Shouldn't there be exclusive high-class carriages or something?"

Mitia gave her a strange look when she heard this: "What? Is it weird to sit together?"

Mi Wei nodded: "Very strange!"

Mitia explained: "The nature of my army is different from those you have seen. The full name of my army is [Astar People's Volunteer Army], and they originally came from the people."

"Strictly speaking, they are not private soldiers belonging to anyone, but to all the people of Astal. And... aren't soldiers given priority?"

"Oh... I don't understand."

Mi Wei scratched her head, she felt that she was confused by what Mitia said. Fortunately, a conductor came over to check the ticket, so Mi Wei escaped.

Just before departure, the train attendants from all carriages stood at the entrance and exit and said to them:

"Good afternoon, dear passengers."

"Today, the ashes of 200 martyrs will be taken home on this train. On behalf of all the crew members, I would like to express my highest respect to the families of the martyrs! I wish the martyrs a safe journey."

The entire carriage suddenly fell silent. The locomotive in the distance made a long, continuous buzzing sound. After a long time, the train slowly started to move.

Mi Wei looked at the small wooden boxes, her eyes full of mixed emotions, with a hint of envy: "So you...will take them home?"

Mi Wei was fighting with Medea and the others some time ago. When she entered the territory of Ovinia, she also saw how the Vatican army dealt with their dead comrades.

The dead certainly cannot be taken away, and no one wants to take such an unlucky thing with them. Usually, a big pit is dug and the bodies are thrown together and buried. This is already considered very good, at least they can rest in peace.

According to the rumors she had heard before, most soldiers were abandoned on the roadside after they died, and the passing monsters would take care of them, so they humans didn't need to worry about it.

Medea looked out the window and nodded, her tone unmoved: "Yeah... fallen leaves return to their roots, where they came from, they return to..."

It seemed like he was talking to Mi Wei, but also seemed like he was talking to himself:

"Every town has its own cemetery, with their names engraved on the tombstones, and special people to clean it. People go there to pay homage during festivals, and their families will make proper arrangements..."

Medea stopped talking and said that these things were of no significance to the dead. The only thing she could do for them was to remind the people not to forget them. That was all.

The railway track seemed to stretch endlessly. Mi Wei looked out the window at the snow-covered mountains and frozen rivers passing by, and she was amazed but also had new questions;

"This car you built on the iron bars is amazing. It can carry so many people, but aren't you afraid that the iron bars will be destroyed by monsters?"

Medea smiled and said, "Just keep watching and you'll see."

She was a little confused when she heard Medea's answer, but she continued to observe obediently.

The train passed through the mountains and arrived at the plain area. Four figures in green clothes attracted Mi Wei's attention. It was not until the train came closer that she could see their appearance clearly.

They were wearing thick clothes and hats, carrying packages on their backs, and standing in the snow with guns in their hands, saluting the train.

Mitia's voice reached Mi Wei's ears: "They are the railway guards, deployed along the railway to protect the safety of the railway. There are soldiers in the plains and mountains. They have to patrol dozens of kilometers every day. It's very hard."

Mi Wei could see more or less people every time she passed a certain distance, sometimes a dozen people, sometimes just a few people. She also saw houses and fortresses of all sizes, all of which were flying the bright red flag of Astar.

Some of them were holding bread in their hands, some were carrying shovels, but all the figures that Mi Wei saw were saluting the train without exception, and the red logo on their cap badges was shining brightly in the reflection of the white snow.

Mi Wei was silent for a long time, then looked at Medea and said with emotion: "Sister Medea, please teach me how to run a church."

"..."

The train took two days and one night to arrive at the Astar train station. Mi Wei felt that her butt had lost all feeling and she rubbed her butt quietly.

Medea looked at Mi Wei with a smile on her face. The train did not run at night because the visibility was too low, so the ride took a little longer.

At this time, the train came to a complete stop and the attendant began to announce:

"Thank you all for taking this train. Please stay seated, take a rest and wait to make way for our heroes so they can go home first. Thank you all!"

A large number of Astar soldiers had already gathered on the platform, and they would hand over their mission to the soldiers on the train.

Chapter 65: Seris National Social Federation

'Tatt...'

Outside the door, soldiers in military uniforms lined up and marched into the carriage. They stood beside their comrades and saluted with their feet together. The sound of their boots colliding was neat and loud.

After the two sides saluted each other, the handover ceremony began.

"Captain...let go."

Seeing that his comrade had already reached out to take it, Harlin still held the wooden box tightly and refused to let go. The non-commissioned officer who came with him whispered to him.

"okay."

Looking at their receding backs, Harlin whispered, "You were still a big boy when you left with me, but how come you have turned into such a small box when you came back..."

Mitia withdrew her gaze from the window and said to Mi Wei beside her apologetically: "Sorry, I have something to deal with now. I will arrange for someone to take you to have a good rest first."

Mi Wei nodded obediently: "Hmm..."

The four girls followed the crowd out of the platform and out of the train station. Two cars that looked like iron boxes had been waiting outside for a long time.

After watching the car that Mi Wei was riding in drive away, Medea signaled the driver to start the car and head for the manor.

After the eight-cylinder diesel engine was widely used in the military industry, the manufacture of the four-cylinder gasoline engine was no longer a problem. Armored vehicles had been developed, so manufacturing cars was even easier.
