I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Medea stood up suddenly, her narrow eyes fixed on Bratt below.

Bratt was suffocated by Medea's aura, and said slowly:

"There was an outbreak of smallpox in the Main Continent before, and it did cause heavy casualties. But later we discovered that vaccination can resist the harm of smallpox. Ordinary people can spend some money at the church to get vaccinated."

"I wanted to meet you at first to tell you how to get vaccinated, but I didn't get your permission to meet..."

"I'm sorry... Your Majesty, my father has summoned me, and I need to leave the Seris Federation for some time."

Medea smiled politely and replied, "That's a shame. I look forward to meeting you next time. We will welcome you home. Thank you for your help to the Seris Federation over the years. You are a friend of the people of the Federation~"

"By the way, I have another gift for you."

Bratt's eyes lit up when he heard that. Medea didn't notice this. She turned around and called the waiter and said a few words to him.

Then he turned around and said, "The gift will be handed over to you personally by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs."

Blatter was disappointed: 'Huh? ...'

"Ok?"

Seeing Medea's puzzled look, Blatt waved his hand awkwardly to indicate that it was okay. After a few words of greeting, he left the reception room.

Medea leaned back in the sofa chair with her chin supported by one hand, thinking about the message conveyed by Bratt's words.

Was this outbreak of smallpox intentional or unintentional?

At first she didn't think much about it, because infectious diseases, plagues and other diseases are inevitable in times of war, and if there are too many deaths, there will be some plagues.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. The two sides exchanged goods from all over the world across the sea, and there was no guarantee that smallpox would be brought in from one side. The people on the main continent were fine because they had been injected with antibodies, so this indirectly harmed them.

But it may not be a coincidence. Perhaps the spread of smallpox this time was intentional by some people or some forces.

Unlike other kingdoms and empires, where the main structure of the Seris Federation is composed of aristocratic magicians, most people here are ordinary people, and using infectious diseases to target them is really the right medicine for the disease.

Don't underestimate the power of infectious diseases. Smallpox, which is transmitted through the air, has a nearly 100% infection rate and a mortality rate of over 30%. It is a super virus that is capable of subverting a country.

She acted quickly enough, and the population mobility rate was reduced to the lowest level under her forced intervention, but the federation's import and export trade suffered a huge blow.

If she had not reacted so quickly, not only the import and export trade, but also many other industries in the federation would have come to a halt, and the entire federation would have been in an extremely weak state.

I hope she is just overthinking~

Medea's eyes became deep, and she pressed the button on the edge of the chair. A female SS came in and stood respectfully in front of her.

"Go inform Secretary Anna and close the net according to her list."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

On the surface, Seris and the Surya Kingdom have a good relationship and have a lot of cooperative relations, but it is worth mentioning that so far the two sides have not established formal diplomatic relations between countries.

At first she didn't think there was anything wrong and thought she could just take it step by step, but now she feels that the political environment of the main continent is a bit strange, she has to eliminate the internal unstable factors first and free up her hands to pay close attention.

The matter of not daring to get vaccinated against smallpox for three days seemed small, but if she couldn't even do such a small thing, she couldn't entrust them with big things.

The fact that the Queen's orders were not carried out thoroughly is reason enough. It would be great if he could retire early and do something idle to take care of urban construction and street disputes.

Don't talk about heroes. The establishment of the Seris Federation was the result of the joint efforts of tens of millions of people. There are so many heroes. If you, a hero, go down, there will naturally be other heroes coming up~

a week later

After packing his luggage, Blatter was escorted by Koy to the Serra Capital Station. Before getting on the train, the two hugged each other:

'This trip to the subcontinent has given me great surprise and pleasure. I have seen so many new things that I have never seen before. The ideas of your country have also made me think more about the world.'

"But maybe you should listen to my advice and work harder on culture. I think this is very important, even if my father doesn't think so~"

'But no matter what, I have gained a lot from this trip to the continent, and I also got to know you, my friend.'

Koi smiled and released his arm, then took a bag from the soldier next to him and handed it to Bratt:

"We have taken your proposal into consideration."

"Apart from that identity, I'm really glad to meet you, Bratt."

"Thank you for bringing all kinds of information about the main continent to the Seris Federation. It allowed us to see the outside world clearly for the first time. You are not only my friend, but also, as my sister said, you are the friend of all the people in the Federation."

"This is a small gift, given to you by me on behalf of the people of the Federation."

Hearing that it was a small gift, Blatter gladly accepted it: "Although I don't know what it is, I swear I will like it very much."

Koi smiled and said casually: "It is a testimony of the friendship between you and our country. It represents a promise made by the people of the Seris Federation and is permanent."

'That sounds great, see you then?'

"Goodbye!"

Chapter 124: Wonders can ruin a country~

"It's a pity for Blatter that he didn't live to see the completion of this major project."

Under Mi Wei's guidance, Medea visited the church building in front of him, which had taken three years to build and was only half completed.

Mi Wei curled her lips when she heard her words: "If he stays for another three years, he probably won't see the completion of the cathedral... Sometimes I think you are crazy, building something like this..."

"You don't understand... When it is officially completed, maybe the Holy Light Church will become the most prestigious church on the continent because of it..."

"Just this? A building?" Mi Wei said in disbelief.

"That's it! This is my first time to lavishly build a wonder~ Oh, my perfect reputation may be in jeopardy."

Looking at the unfinished product in front of him, Medea recalled its design information. The church itself did not deviate from the design style of the churches in this world, but there were also slight changes.

For example, in order to demonstrate its strength in industrial architecture, the spires on top of the churches were changed into round domes, which are more difficult and complex to build, and can also be decorated more gorgeously, but this is not the point.

If this church was just like this, it would not have taken the Seris Federation about seven or eight years to build. It is just the exterior.

而内在则是一座总高15米，有着19974个最小1cm，最大12米的声管，103个键盘和6个巨型扬声器的超级管风琴。

All the sound tubes are made of tin-lead alloy. It is better to say that a church was built to build this super organ than to say that the organ was built in the church.

This world has its own musical culture, and the instruments are pretty much the same, there's even a piano, which Anna likes very much.

But this used to be exclusive to the nobility. When Media launched the anti-nobility movement, even the nobility were swept into the garbage dump.

Civilian slaves have no chance of receiving any musical training, which is why Bratt said they need to do some cultural construction.

Because the current Seris Federation is a cultural desert, and there is nothing wrong with them saying it~

But can Medea endure it?

If you don't have culture, then spend money on it, build the most magnificent music building to boost cultural confidence, and then enrich it.

If you are uneducated, why don't you think about learning some culture instead of wasting money on it?

The source is this super organ building.

There was a saying in the previous life that described it very aptly: a pipe organ can complete the performance of an entire symphony orchestra, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

But that is not some metaphysics, but the organ itself integrates a large number of musical instrument parts, such as flute, xylophone, gong, horn, bassoon, and piano, etc.

It itself is a masterpiece of all musical instruments. In order to build it, a group of talents who can make various musical instruments have been trained. After this giant is successfully built, other church organs will also begin to be built.

She can rely on this group of skilled craftsmen to build musical instrument factories everywhere to form an industrial chain, hire various overseas musicians at high salaries to teach for free, and sell so-called aristocratic sports at bargain prices to cultivate a hobby among the whole nation.

She has plenty of music scores, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to seduce the master.

As for why it is said that it can make the Church of Holy Light, which has been hiding in the Federation, leap to the top of the continent, it is because the organ is known to be able to produce the sound closest to God.

Everyone who has heard its sound in person is shocked to the point of having their hair stand on end. It has a very strong effect of converting ordinary people, especially theists.

Just give out some eggs or something to coax people into coming in to listen to a concert or something. A round of AOE from the organ is more effective than countless clergymen talking.

......

While Medea was busy building the wonder, the combined forces of the Ortu Alliance and the Kingdom of Secaste were advancing with great momentum.

Because the military strategy of the Kingdom of Palia focused more on external affairs than internal affairs, several consecutive large-scale battles ended in the defeat of the Kingdom of Palia.

After the army on the border was defeated by the two countries, it was difficult for Palia to draw out enough veterans to organize a new army.

The training period for new recruits was extremely long, and the two countries almost wiped out all of Palia's elite troops. The most deadly thing was the smallpox virus that spread within the Kingdom of Palia, causing almost the entire society of Palia to come to a standstill.

Therefore, the coalition forces encountered almost no decent resistance later.

Some of them have even begun to approach the capital of Palia, preparing to launch a final large-scale battle to completely kill them in one go.

The logistics of the Ortu Alliance have been unstable because of the brutal and bloody massacres along the way, which has aroused fierce resistance from the civilians of Palia.

Moreover, the outbreak of smallpox also made them uneasy. Many people in the army had been infected with smallpox and abandoned to die, and the morale of the army began to become low.

Fortunately, the smallpox vaccination technology of the Seris Federation was promptly introduced, giving them the opportunity to ensure the combat capability of their army.

Smallpox gave them an excellent opportunity to completely destroy the Kingdom of Palia. The Dwarf Kingdom of Secaste did not dare to delay too long and cooperated with the Ortu Alliance to attack the capital of Palia.

The three parties fought a brutal offensive and defensive battle under the fortified city of the royal capital. The defenders of the royal capital had no way to retreat, while the dwarf and orc alliance were driven by deep hatred, and the casualty ratio of the three parties remained high.

And as time went on, Palia's military strength began to rebound, and at one point it repelled the coalition forces, causing them to suffer countless losses.

King Palia paid an unknown price and asked for reinforcements from the Diocese of Mitria on the main continent.

This time the church seemed to be well prepared. Instead of sending a few or three big cats and small cats, a large-scale landing of organized mecha soldiers was carried out at the port of Palia.

Several division-level corps landed at Kopalak Port and Nome Port. In particular, the division that landed at Nome Port advanced quickly and cut off the supply route of the Ortu Alliance, turning it into an isolated army.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is completely not at the same level. Ortu's double-gun phalanx can't break the magic shield of the Holy See's body at all, and they even have a steel shield in their hands as a secondary defense.

Whenever the two sides met, the Vatican's machines would usually charge with their shields raised, carrying the muskets and artillery of the Ortu coalition forces and rushing into the front line. Then there would be a bloody massacre with almost no ability to fight back.

The fate of the Secastre was much better. Although there were examples of the mecha soldiers successfully rushing into the formation in the first round of collisions, there were also cases where the mechas were blown up.

This also made these troops somewhat cautious. With the ready fire support of the Maxim heavy machine guns, the Vatican's mecha troops mainly forced them to retreat and drive them away, and never forced their way into their formation again.

The news of the landing of the Demetria Church's troops quickly spread from the Dwarf Kingdom to the ears of the Seris Federation, and Medea immediately confirmed his previous thoughts.

It was no simple coincidence that the smallpox virus spread to the subcontinent.

Chapter 125: Encounter with the Holy See

The Seris Federation immediately submitted a letter of protest to the Alliance Council of the main continent through the communication channel left by the Kingdom of Surya, protesting against the Church of Demeter's interference in the competition between the countries of the sub-continent.

However, it was of no use. The Seris Federation had not established diplomatic relations with any country in the alliance, and the federation's protest was basically equivalent to a piece of waste paper.

Although the Surya Kingdom helped speak up, the voice of a kingdom was basically dispensable.
