Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

As gunshots rang out outside the city, other troops stationed in the city also received orders.

Thoroughly investigate the families on the list.

The troops directly dispatched two machine gunners to the gates of each of the five or six families on the list, and blocked the gates with MG42s.

The machine gunners were ordered not to leave.

Anyone who dares to step out of the door will be shot.

The large force began to clean up each household one by one according to the list.

People in the entire Sin City couldn't sleep peacefully.

Ordinary people don’t know what happened, and those who know the situation are afraid that it will affect them.

As the Great Purge progressed.

There was wailing in the mansions of the families on the list, with cries and curses heard continuously.

In a mansion.

William, who had been promoted to squad leader, felt a little sorry for the family crying so hard in front of him.

More than a dozen women and children knelt on the cold ground.

He looked at William and the others begging for mercy.

William looked at these people and felt a little shaken. What was he doing now?

William rubbed the handle of the MP40 unconsciously.

Suddenly, the company commander Reinhardt came over and kicked Pats, who was kneeling in the front, to the ground.

Reinhardt grabbed Pats and yelled loudly.

"You say you are innocent, then why did your servants confess that 178 people died at your hands? There are still seven half-naked girls in your dungeon! You beast!"

After Reinhardt finished speaking, regardless of Pats' resigned look, he pulled out his Gru P08 and aimed it at Pats.

"boom!"

A platoon leader hugged Reinhardt, and the bullet barely grazed Pats.

Yellow liquid was already flowing out between Pats' legs.

"what are you doing?"

"Your Highness Leon has not yet made a conclusion. We can't kill them now!"

Hearing this, Reinhardt sighed and put the pistol back into its holster.

"You're right, take them all away!"

Reinhardt gave the order.

William and his men immediately drove these people to the dungeon of the Duke's Palace with guns.

"William!"

Reinhardt's voice came.

"Company commander!"

William saluted.

"Take your team and go to the dungeon to rescue the people inside..."

William was slightly stunned, then replied.

"Yes!"

The dungeon entrance.

William asked inwardly as he looked at the ragged people rescued from the dungeon.

“Is this a noble?”

William and his friends learned that most of these people were ordinary people who were imprisoned and tortured to a point where their lives were worse than death because they accidentally offended Pats and his friends.

Many teenage girls have also been subjected to inhuman abuse.

William unconsciously adjusted his helmet.

Suddenly I felt a chill on my neck.

William touched it and found it was snow.

Looking up, I saw a large amount of snowflakes falling from the sky.

Divine punishment has begun!

ducal mansion.

Lyon looked at the snowy world outside the window, touched the five-year development plan beside him, and muttered to himself.

"The real test is about to begin..."

In the guest room, Laiya had never slept on such a soft bed and had fallen into a sweet dream.

Deep in the imperial palace.

A beautiful woman is praying continuously.

"God, please protect my child and keep him safe. He must survive the winter of divine punishment..."

In the palace study, Edward III was reading the reports from his ministers.

A cardinal walked in.

"Your Majesty, the divine punishment has begun..."

"God's punishment has begun? How is the army preparing?"

Edward III was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked.

"Two hundred thousand imperial troops have arrived in the Dukedom of Herod in the north. Once the winter of divine punishment is over, they will launch an attack on the Orc Empire."

The cardinal said respectfully.

"Teacher, do you think I am very ruthless? In order to start a war, I let my son die..."

Edward III said with some disappointment.

The cardinal knelt down the next second.

He didn't say anything, just knelt there with his head buried in his arms.

After a long pause, Edward III spoke.

"Teacher, please go down..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The cardinal answered and then respectfully withdrew.

Edward III was left alone in his study...

The Duke of Leiming’s Mansion in the imperial capital.

Thundering Duke Winster is not only a duke, but also a marshal of the empire.

Winster, who should have been resting at this moment, was saying goodbye to his family.

He was heading to the northern border to command the imperial army.

He was one of the few people who knew the inside story, and for the first time he felt a real fear of Edward III.

For the sake of one's own ambitions, one can even abandon one's own children.

Winster felt a little palpitated.

Your Highness! Don't blame us, blame your father!

The next day, in the Territory of Sin, the sun did not rise as usual.

Instead, the entire Territory of Sin was in darkness, just like it was at night.

In the Duke's Palace, Reinhardt is reporting the results of the Great Purge to Lyon.

"Your Highness, there are seven families in total, and a total of 150 million gold coins, a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and hundreds of industries have been seized."

Lyon was a little absent-minded as he listened to Reinhardt's report.

150 million! 150 million!

This number took Lyon a long time to recover from.

The cost of training a rifleman is about 3 gold coins.

You can train a machine gunner for 5 gold coins.

150 million gold coins, Leon immediately divided the uses.

90 will be used to develop the Crime Territory, and 10 will be used for education.

30 yuan will be used for industrial development, and 20 yuan will be kept as reserve funds.

Originally, Lyon had not planned to divide the military expenditure so much, but he thought of the Orc Empire in the north.

The Winter of Divine Punishment is a divine punishment for ordinary people, but for the Lord of Sin, it is a great opportunity to discover.

Coal and heating allowed the factory to operate even during the winter of divine punishment.

A large amount of capital investment will enable the industry in the Sin Territory to develop rapidly.

After the Winter of Divine Punishment is over, the Territory of Sin might become a popular destination for the Orc Empire.

Therefore, the development of the military must be put on the agenda.

The military expenditure of 30 gold coins is enough for Lyon to expand its army by 5.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Lyon has begun to develop engines.

After all, the land of sin is full of coal and oil.

As a time traveler, if I don't develop vigorously, how can I be worthy of the predecessors on the street lamps?

It snowed heavily for many days.

The temperature also reached minus 30 degrees Celsius.

But the people in the slums have already moved into the built concrete apartments.

And the 24-hour heating brought their admiration for Lyon to its peak.

The factory also began to recruit more workers.

To prevent snow from blocking traffic.

When Lyon and his team were building the apartment, they dug tunnels between the apartments and between the apartments and the factory.

This makes it more convenient for workers to go to and from get off work.

All factories started operating at full capacity in three shifts.

The army also began to expand its recruitment crazily, from a company to a regiment.

Originally, Lyon planned to expand the army directly to a division, but according to Lyon's 232 organization, a company already has people.

A battalion has more than 900 people, and a regiment has reached about 3000 people.

A division according to Lyon's organization can reach 5 people.

It's not that Lyon doesn't want to expand the army to 5, but the current economy of the Sin Territory cannot support such a large army.

So Lyon planned to expand his army to a brigade after the winter of divine punishment was over.

At least we need to have the power to protect ourselves and deal with the orc empire heading south...
