Chapter 384 Chapter 382: Going Crazy (Subscribe)
After reaching an agreement with the two allies and appeasing Lilia, Roy was still not idle. After coming out of the Mage Tower, he rushed to the meeting hall without stopping.

There were already a lot of people here. Everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, including Butler Hoover, who had just arrived after recovering from a serious illness.

They each had a piece of information in their hands. Some were flipping through it, some were communicating with the people next to them, and some had grim expressions on their faces.

Luo Yi strode in, ignoring all the noise, and slapped the long table.

boom!
The loud noise immediately made the conference hall quiet. Everyone looked at him and saw the angry Luo Yi.

When facing these people, Luo Yi doesn't need to use earnest words to persuade them. Instead, appropriate anger can make everyone more cautious and serious.

Looking around, Luo Yi raised his voice and said, "You have seen the intelligence, right? Is the development of the situation far beyond your expectations?"

"The conflict between the old nobility and the new nobility, the conflict between the traditional economic system and the magic energy industry, and the accumulated hatred between the Habsburg Empire and several old empires, these are not things that can be resolved through communication and negotiation.

In the end, the only option is war!

Only by deciding the outcome of a battle, life or death, can we determine the true winner."

"Do you think that the fights between several empires have anything to do with us?"

"What about the Caroline Kingdom?"

"What did they do to offend anyone? Just because of their geographical location, they suffered an unexpected disaster and the calamity of war?"

"Two empires went to war in their own territories. How much damage do you think they would suffer? How many people would die? How many people would be displaced and left homeless?"

"Do you want to experience something like this, too?"

After a pause, Luo Yi took a breath, and the whole meeting hall fell into a buzzing noise again.

But the next second, Luo Yi raised his voice again and said, "Do you think that since Flower Territory is not the Caroline Kingdom, I am not that unlucky!

But things are unpredictable, who knows what will happen in the future? "

"What if, I mean what if, what if the Bonaparte Empire wants to invade the Habsburg Empire by land, and has to go through my Flower Territory.

Should we borrow this road? Or not?"

"Even if we take a step back, do you think that a few empires fighting each other would allow other forces to just watch?"

"Wait until they are both defeated, and then give other countries a chance to take advantage?"

"If you dare to think of such a good thing, they will definitely not do it. Therefore, they will definitely drag other countries into the war!"

"In other words, this war has only just begun. In the near future, you will see even more brutal fighting!"

“I don’t expect Flower Territory to expand, but I hope to protect this little piece of land, the foundation and the people here.

Can I look at you again?"

"Although the military expansion and stockpiling of supplies that I arranged before are being carried out, you know what everyone's attitude is!"

"I have no intention of pursuing the previous matters, but from today on, from this moment on, if you still dare to pretend to obey me but secretly disobey me, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Did you hear everything I said?"

The only sound in the entire conference hall was Luo Yi's roar, like an angry lion, which made everyone dare not even raise their heads.

Even the few natural disasters sat obediently and restrained their auras to the utmost.

In fact, everyone’s execution of Luo Yi’s previous arrangements was quite good.

The expansion of the First Guards Corps from one thousand to three thousand people, as well as the stockpiling and transportation of supplies, were also carried out in an orderly manner.

However, Luo Yi needed a thorough, even hysterical outburst of anger and venting to keep everyone alert.

The development of the situation was so overwhelming that even he was overwhelmed, and he needed to use this to put pressure on everyone.

The effect was quite significant. After he opened his mouth, no one dared to speak.

Keluo Yi was dissatisfied again, and his voice became three times louder: "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I say?"

Everyone stood up and said in unison: "I heard it!"

"Your voice is so quiet, haven't you eaten yet?"

"I heard!"

This time they shouted in unison at the top of their lungs, especially a few extraordinary knights, whose voices were so loud that it seemed as if they could rip the roof off the house.

Luo Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone, sit down. Now, I will arrange the tasks."

"Grand Knight Commander Vincent Ackerman?"

"My Lord Earl, give your orders!"

"Expanding the army is of utmost importance. You are responsible for gathering all the people for me. You can lower the requirements appropriately. It doesn't matter if we have more people.

But, be quick, as the subsequent training will take enough time!"

"As ordered!"

"Chief Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke?"

"I'm here!"

"You are responsible for training, with the old leading the new. Tactical skills and the like will be put aside for now, but basic meditation and the use of firearms must be arranged first.

As for the necessary supplies, go to Butler Hoover to get them. If you need money, go to Mira Greenman!"

"Yes, sir!" "Maruna?"

"My Lord Earl, I'm here!"

"Your task is the most important. Once a war breaks out, the consumption of guns and bullets will reach an exaggerated level. The magic energy industry in Flower Territory has developed to this point, and it is time for a new round of major expansion.

Therefore, I need you to come up with a plan to expand production capacity and implement it in the shortest possible time."

Maruna stood up, frowned, and hesitated a little, but still said: "My Lord Earl, is this difficult?"

"What's specific?"

"I already have a certain amount of talent, so that's not a big problem, but the machinery, factory buildings and raw materials are all problems."

“As for the factory, just make a plan and build it. As for the raw materials, you can place orders with the civilian factories, the Floyd family, and the Norman family, and let them get busy.

I will also coordinate with the Empire."

"In a word, everything is to prepare for war!"

If the arrangements made in the past few days were rational, they were to expand the military and prepare for war without affecting production.

Now, it’s time to go all out!
All resources and output were tilted towards the war, and he was even prepared to invest all of this year's profits, including last year's, into it.

If it is really not enough, overspending and deficit are not unacceptable.

With his current status and position, he can borrow a large sum of money from the Seven Gods Bank!

What he wants to do is not only to defend his territory, but also to take the opportunity to develop further.

To ordinary people, war is synonymous with death and destruction, but to some people, the battlefield is the best opportunity for expansion.

When the meeting was over and everyone left, they were no longer as casual as before and became extremely serious.

It can be seen that Luo Yi's "outburst" was still very useful.

This method cannot be used frequently, but it is very effective if used occasionally.

When Luo Yi left, someone followed him.

After being back for so long, Oliveira's injuries have almost recovered and he has resumed his work as a personal bodyguard.

When they reached a deserted place, Luo Yi suddenly turned his head and said with a grin, "Teacher Oliveira, how was my acting just now? Was it okay?"

Oliveira was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it just acting?"

“That’s about right. I don’t like using anger to solve problems, but using it occasionally can have some miraculous effects.

However, when I saw this person below, I really got angry. "

Having said that, he led Oliveira back to the Mage Tower, but he did not look for Lilia. Instead, he knocked on the door of a laboratory on the fifth floor.

Ding Ding Ding!
The sound of the bell echoed in the corridor. After waiting for a long time without any response, Luo Yi continued to pull the rope, again and again.

As a result, the owner of the laboratory was annoyed, and a clear but irritable voice came: "Who is it? Don't you know I'm doing research? Why are you knocking?!"

At the same time, the magic pattern lit up, the round door was opened, and Christina stood in front of Roy.

The young female mechanic was wearing a wizard robe that was obviously dirty, and her hair was fluffy and messy, and it was unknown how long it had been since she had taken care of it.

She looked tired and irritable, but her little face full of collagen was still very strong and beautiful.

When she saw Luo Yi, she was stunned. All the irritability on her face disappeared, and even a hint of guilt flashed across her face.

"Why is it the Count? You came to see me without even telling me. I need to wash up!"

Having said that, she tried hard to close the door, but Luo Yi's foot had stepped forward at some point and was holding the door shut.

Looking at Christina, Roy smiled and said, "I say, did you forget to give me something?"

"What? No! How come I don't know?"

"Do you really have to make me explain it so clearly? After I made the Maxim Magic Heavy Machine Gun, I also gave you the design drawings of the six-barreled Gatling gun and the grenades.

Why, you forgot everything?"

"Of course not. That's right, I just haven't figured it out yet! Right, right, I haven't finished the product yet, so naturally I can't give it to you."

Luo Yi laughed: "The Maxim heavy machine gun has been mass-produced, and you are saying that these two models are not successful?
You have to find a better excuse to lie to me!"

"If my estimation is correct, they should all be in service in some legions of the empire, right?

That is, the design concept and the design drawings I provided are not suitable for you now, right? "

At this moment, Christina's face completely fell, and she said, "Since you have guessed it, why are you forcing me?

If I had known that studying these things would involve secrets and confidentiality regulations, I would not have studied it!
Now I don’t even dare to play with Lilia anymore!"

Having said that, she looked at Luo Yi again: "Now, it's no use for you to look for me. The empire won't allow it, and I definitely won't dare to leak it."

"Who should I look for now? His Majesty Saint Bartholomew, or the Imperial Ambassador Lord Robin Water?"

"It should be Lord Robin Water. He is the main person communicating with the Imperial Cabinet."

"Okay, help me contact him! Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll wait for him in the study on the second floor.

Some things need to be discussed openly. "
