Chapter 675

Tulip islands, king of faletis, Berkeley.

If the residents of the old world were allowed to choose a great city representing human civilization, many people would instinctively call out Santa Cruz, the capital of King hillius, which can be called the Museum of nations.

but no one can veto it at all. This is the city that combines the essence of the steam industry civilization of this era.

The huge clock tower with a height of 95 meters can overlook the whole capital city, the factories stand in the city, the white steam is connected into clouds, and the beautifully cast lamp posts on both sides of the main streets extend to the end of the line of sight like straight sentries...

especially years ago.

With the development of coke smelting technology, the iron and steel production of the kingdom once again ushered in a breakthrough. After that, engineers built a 129 meter long iron bridge on the TAM river flowing through Berkeley, symbolizing the infinite creativity and enterprising spirit of the faletis people.

It is also an industrial miracle that makes the world gape.

Although the cost of the big railway bridge is expensive, the sense of national pride is unprecedented!

In particular, this 350 km long "tame River", which originates from Cotswold in the east of the island and enters the sea at Newport, is the mother river that nourishes beckler and more than ten cities along the way, which is of great significance.

However.

At this time, the sewer system that flows into the TAM River from the big iron bridge tunnel is not so calm.

Another negative consequence of a good urban drainage system is to build a labyrinth like underground world extending in all directions. The interior is dark and humid, and also contains some "dirt" that should not have appeared here.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, who "Ghouls" and "blasphemers" in gray white leather robes belonging to the "fog of order secret religion" also met each other:

"Gaga, Gaga, recently this city is really busy. All kinds of people with evil intentions have begun to be active, and there is a steady stream of people from all walks of life. Maybe we don't need to do anything at all, or we can make a mess of the city. "

"The war has already begun long ago, and the power of the true God is constantly increasing. During this period, no matter what, tulip, who is destined to be antagonistic, should have a chance to breathe.

It's all due to the stupid "swearing betrayers". A trip to the clock tower not only failed to get the balance sword of Libra, but also completely destroyed the whole army, and even no useful news came back.

As a result, our follow-up plans have to change again and again. On the side of "chaos worm"...

right above them, the sunshine in the city is just right.

Da.. Da.. Da..

the Dragon cavalry guards in red uniform and shoulder anti muskets, the extraordinary knights in clean and clean armour, the crow troops in black fur and beak masks, the spies of the Kingdom's intelligence department...

the defense forces subordinate to the Kingdom began to swim in the streets of the city in batches, which was the most important battle in decades As the ceremony approaches, the city's security level has been raised to the highest level.

The expected and unexpected enemies are always emerging in endlessly. This kind of response has been the standard configuration of civilized countries for a long time when holding celebrations.

Even if there is a crackdown by the Shinto cult, every large-scale public activity on the mainland is the peak period of "cult" activity. Those who are hostile to civilization and order are like cockroaches. There are endless waves of killing.

Just like the fallen "God of opera" percel, they are dependent on the human society itself, and take the body of human civilization as the source of strength.

Faith is secondary, but human beings' anger, sadness, selfishness, timidity, despair, hatred, jealousy, inferiority, greed and other negative emotions are their favorite.

However.

Different from the "dark Millennium" before the "Renaissance", the true God hardly showed any miracles.

At present, the true God pays more attention to the secular world than ever before, and even angels frequently come to interfere in secular affairs. There is church repression, especially in the innermost capital of civilized countries. There is almost no need to worry that there will be demented evil spirits who dare to come and kill in person.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Just as the root cause of this celebration, the sudden abdication of the queen, who is still in the prime of spring and autumn for another 100 years, is also due to the church.

"Those belonging to God belong to God, and those belonging to the king belong to the king." in reality, the next level of definition is "those belonging to the extraordinary belong to the extraordinary, and those belonging to the mortal belong to the mortal".

What's the difference between being a king for nearly 200 years and being ruled by God?

This is what the church after the "dark Millennium" and "Renaissance" and the true God behind them do not want to see. In that case, it would be better to directly replace the Kingdom and establish a religious state.Among the mainland countries, the natural transition of the king between the age of 65 and 70 is the most common. If the time comes and the king does not go to the throne, the church will be forced to intervene. The Pope, instead of the gods, declared the king illegal, and then set up a new king.

Although the current Queen Isabella is only 67 years old, with three years to go before her final 70 years, a series of internal and external factors have prompted her to make this decision.

Inside.

During this period of time, she took advantage of the great opportunity given by the negative case of Elia Kingdom, adopted Elvin's suggestion, and has nationalized all livelihood industries.

A series of reforms that will seriously affect the interests of the inherent groups have been completed in her hands, and no one can resist her supreme prestige.

Therefore, there is no internal obstacle for Livina to take power, and she has inherited a rich political legacy, just waiting for the flowers and fruits to enjoy the glory.

On the outside.

With the religious reform of the Silurian Empire coming to an end, the turmoil in the mainland will gradually subside. In the future, the interest dispute between the Kingdom and Silurian will inevitably intensify. The remaining three years will not be enough for the two to decide.

It's better to let the successor enter when the intensity of struggle is still small, and let the 35 year old prince Livina, who has been trained in many ways, spend the next 30 years to create the glory of the kingdom.

...

the crown prince's residence, in the garden of blooming flowers.

Wearing a goose yellow dress and a jeweled princess crown, Livina is very charming. She kicks off her shoes and sits on a bench with her snow-white feet on her knees, chatting with Elvin who is leaning on the other side of the bench.

Kazam..

as a core princeling party, Ivan has completely taken into his role as a guardian knight.

Although he was casually wearing a white shirt and chewing an apple from the royal family, the wizard's extremely powerful mental field had spread for several blocks, and even the insects in the deep underground could not escape his perception.

If in a prosperous royal family, under normal circumstances, now he should have begun to fight for the smooth rise of his Lord.

Unfortunately, there is only one successor in the kingdom. His duty now is to protect Livina.

Even think of when jeros and queen Stephanie heard the news, head shaking like a rattle, a burst of laughter. For ordinary people, the throne is impossible, but they avoid it like snakes and scorpions.

However, people have their own aspirations, and their choice may not be bad.

"They're all monsters. It's not a big problem for small scenes. With the present Defense of the capital, we only need to care about how hillius will move in time. "

Livina nodded her head slightly and didn't think much of Elvin's carelessness:

"I'm not worried that they will be in trouble at the succession ceremony, but I'm just worried that there will be a fierce battle in the future. Even the adults from the people to the town center have the ambition to replace hillius.

However, in terms of the development speed of the Navy itself, it should not be able to reach the current level of hillius within ten years, and more and more huge overseas interests may be threatened by the hillius for a long time. "

Because any reliable maritime armed forces need to adapt to the maritime trade as its basis. The Navy should escort the merchant ships, and the tax paid by the merchant ships will be put into the construction of the fleet in turn.

No one would be stupid enough to spend money to expand armaments and compete for the title of the world's first navy regardless of the actual situation.

But for today's faletis, a stronger navy has practical significance.

The first is the slave trade that monopolized the profits of the southern continent, the second is the ugar island that intercepted the new world routes, and the last is the need to deal with the maritime threat of the overlord hillius. All these make it imperative to build a stronger Navy.

The Kingdom's "ship building plan" started a few years ago, and the military department estimated that it would have to reach at least one-third of hillius, so that it would not be unable to fight back in the global competition for overseas interests.

But now the fleet of hillius has more than 310 major warships of class III and above, and the number of "legendary warships" is uncertain. The total fleet size has exceeded 2200.

It's a super behemoth that makes people feel desperate when they think about it. No wonder levina feels a lot of pressure.

At the beginning, the loss of dozens of battleships in the Beninese naval battle, which determined the ownership of the southern continent's rulers, was far from enough to hurt hillius.

"Your Highness, do you remember my storm horn? Even if the witchcraft is eliminated, yuanfanling shipyard has completed the research on the craft of making iron rib wooden hull ships, which can be put into production at any time. The biggest advantage is fast speed! "

"Iron rib wood hull craft" perfectly solves the strength gap between white oak and iron oak in the new world, which is the most important part of the military shipbuilding industry. Even if levina doesn't say it, Elvin will take the initiative to propose to use it.The advantages of the iron rib structure are very obvious. It can not only increase the weight of the ship, but also make the ship longer. It can better bear the recoil of artillery and increase the number of artillery.

At the moment when the accuracy and power of artillery are limited, more is stronger!

Moreover, when building a new ship, it can greatly shorten the drying time of the ribs. In addition, the steel box keel, standardized components and steam dried ship plate can shorten the production cycle of a battleship from several years to several months.

It takes three to six years for a new ship with strict workmanship to be built.

In Elvin's eyes, industrial capacity is war potential!

"With the current normal production capacity, there is no problem in launching another 15 class IV battleships with iron ribs and wooden shells within two years, and the production capacity can continue to expand as long as you give an order. Then... "

then, her royal highness Wang NV, who was listening attentively with her clean chin, gave him a charming look and naturally said the second half of the sentence for him:

" as long as the small money is in place, everything will be easy to say. Isn't that right, Garriott

Elvin:...

"cough, talk back, talk back. Well, your highness, it's almost time. We should move to the palace before tonight. Why don't you bet an apple and guess what's going to happen on the way? "

"Bang, no fun! How about 50% discount? 60% off? Don't run
