Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the coming of divine punishment.

The industrialization of the Sin Territory is in full swing.

The main power source for factories at present is steam engines. A large number of machine tools have been manufactured, and the output of steel mills has also increased sharply due to the addition of coal.

The military industry is developing most rapidly.

A soldier was able to receive more than 300 Mauser rifle bullets.

An MG42 has an ammunition reserve of more than 5000 rounds.

Lyon also equipped soldiers with bulletproof vests.

Although the main function of bulletproof vests is to protect against bullets, ceramic plates and steel plates can protect against knife cuts and stabs.

So the cost of one soldier increased a lot, but Lyon did not hesitate at all.

A living soldier is far more valuable than five gold coins.

Lyon spoke up as he watched the army training in the heavy snow in the Duke's Palace.

It's more than 30 degrees below zero now.

Although it is very cold, there is no problem going out for training for half an hour to an hour.

Lyon was not stingy either. Each soldier was equipped with two sets of winter clothes, two sets of autumn clothes, two sets of linings, a military coat, two pairs of military boots, an M35 helmet, and two military caps.

This is issued to new recruits when they first join the army and is issued again every year.

This made many soldiers feel that this was not true, but when they received the clothes they were given, they all sighed that Leon was really good to them.

And the food also amazed them.

Originally, they worked hard at home all day and only had two meals of black bread.

But it’s different now. There is meat at every meal. In the barracks, there are three meals a day, with at least four dishes for each meal, and an apple.

At first they thought Lyon was a sucker, but later they found out that the training workload was very heavy. However, looking at the sumptuous meals, many of them silently gritted their teeth and persevered.

Later, I gradually adapted to life in the military camp.

However, they were still a little worried about training during the Winter of Divine Punishment.

Because the low temperature takes away the familiar people around them every year.

Death during the divine punishment winter every year is inevitable.

They were also prepared this year, but when they saw everyone moving into the apartment and the complete facilities in the apartment, their originally cold hearts were melted.

They first heard the word "defending the country" from Lyon, but they didn't know what it meant at first.

They thought it was just a slogan, but now as they looked at the people living and working in peace and contentment in the apartment, they finally understood the responsibilities of a soldier.

They have to protect the people here.

Thinking of this, they trained even harder.

ducal mansion.

Leon just closed the plan and picked up the hot coffee beside him to take a sip.

Is there tea in this world?

It seems like it needs to be put on the agenda. I’m not used to drinking this foreign thing called coffee!

While Leon was complaining, the door was suddenly kicked open.

"Oh!"

"Leon!"

"puff!"

Leon was startled and the coffee in his mouth sprayed out.

Leon didn't care about the coffee on his clothes, and picked up the rag to quickly wipe the coffee on the table.

Many plans were splattered with coffee.

"Princess Leia? What are you doing?"

Leon also glanced at the person who came.

"Leon, why is your thing called a factory filled with people working 24 hours a day?"

Leia asked somewhat seriously.

"Princess Leia, this seems to be our own business, right? I haven't even investigated you yet and you barged in, and you're questioning me?"

Leon was a little unhappy because many drawings were splashed with coffee.

"This... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just worried about the workers in the factory..."

Leia was a little at a loss, and clenched her hands anxiously.

Leon didn't pursue anything and spoke.

"The workers work in three shifts. A worker works a maximum of eight hours, and then someone else will take his place."

"I see! I'm sorry, Lord Leon, I misunderstood!"

After hearing this, Leia immediately understood and hurriedly apologized for her behavior.

"It's okay, I don't blame you. How is your highness living here?"

Leon shook his head and started a new topic.

“Very comfortable! The beds and food here are amazing!”

Leia said somewhat happily.

"Then I will give Your Highness a bed when you return!"

Leon said with a smile.

"Isn't this bad?"

Leia hesitated.

"You are a princess, and you are visiting the Territory of Sin. Should I play the role of a good host?"

"Seems to be……"

Leia felt that there was something strange about what Leon said, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

At this moment, Leon looked at Leia with shining eyes.

Now you take my bed, and I will let your country, the entire country, use my bed.

Jie Jie Jie!

Laiya, who had just lowered her head in embarrassment, suddenly felt a chill.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Leon, who had regained his composure, looking at the plan seriously.

"Sir Lyon, I have a question. Why is your army equipped with these strange wooden weapons? I don't think they are very useful."

Laiya tried to change the subject.

"Strange? Not very useful?"

After hearing this, Lyon almost couldn't help laughing, but he soon thought again that this seemed to be a business opportunity!

Then he looked at Leia with burning eyes.

"Mr. Leon???!!!"

Leia was frightened by Leon's eyes and a little scared.

"Ahem, it's okay, Princess Leia. I lost my composure. I will take you on a tour and tell you about these weapons."

After Leon finished speaking, he put on his military coat and hurriedly took Leia towards the military camp.

As soon as I left the Duke's Mansion, the cold wind felt like a knife cutting my face.

Leia shrank back subconsciously.

Seeing this, Leon also took a military coat for Leia.

The two of them arrived at the military camp in a short while.

Leia found the soldiers training in the snow.

I couldn't help but admire him and was a little dazed.

As Leon watched from the side, he also learned that Leia was the princess of the Elf Kingdom of the Forest in the Elf Empire.

The Elven Empire is made up of seven kingdoms and six types of elves.

The Forest Elf Kingdom borders directly on the Territory of Sin.

Therefore, it is important to establish a good relationship with the forest elves, at least for now.

Because next spring, we need to get a batch of seeds from the Forest Elf Kingdom.

The crops in the Sin Territory are very simple, and there are no other crops except wheat.

Forget about the fruit trees, as the apples are still bought from the big cities on the border of the Holy Empire.

That's why Leon cares so much about Leia.

It’s just that Leia may or may not know what Leon is thinking.

Who can say for sure?

"Okay, Princess, their training is over. I'll take you to see what the weapons in their hands are used for!"

Lyon said.

"Well, okay, Lord Lyon."

Leia nodded like a little squirrel, looking a little dazed.

There was still flying snow on my head.

Leon looked at the dazed Leia and gave a faint smile.
