Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

"Your Majesty, an envoy from a country called the Yaori Republic is requesting an audience."

In the imperial palace of Stephen's Empire, Emperor Albert was sitting high on his dragon throne.

"What country? Have you heard of it? Does the Human Alliance have this country?" Albert asked the ministers below.

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads to express that they had not heard of it.

Albert said: "It's interesting. Let's bring it in and ask."

Then, the envoy sent by Red was invited into the palace.

Albert asked with great interest: "Which country are you the envoys of? Why have I never heard of this country? Where is your country?"

Hearing these words, the ministers below also laughed.

Someone among the envoys was about to have a fit. Not everyone could bear the ridicule. However, Baird, the main person in charge of the envoys this time, held back his emotions and said: "His Majesty the Emperor Stephen, we Come to the Sunri Republic, which is a country close to the Despair Mountains in the south. It turns out that there are the Kingdom of Dips, the Kingdom of Enju and the Kingdom of Nas."

The emperor looked very surprised: "Oh? Wasn't that place occupied by goblins? How did you establish a country there?"

One of the ministers suddenly said: "Maybe it's the bastard Jianguo created by the goblins."

The minister's voice was very low, but the palace hall was very quiet, and almost everyone heard it, which caused a burst of ridicule. At this moment, Baird clenched his fists, and the clenched fists were deep red. But after looking at the soldiers lined up neatly next to them, holding frightening 2-meter long halberds and wearing exquisite armor, I still held back.

"Your Majesty, it was our great leader Red who led us to defeat the goblins and build a new home."

Albert didn't seem to know who Rhett was. The prime minister on the side, wearing a Taoist priest-like costume, was also a brave man named Moluozi who had been around for more than a hundred years. He came from a world where yin and yang magic was prevalent. Bian said: "Your Majesty, he should be the second son of King Dips. He is only 15 years old this year."

Albert asked: "Is your Red the former second prince of the Dips Kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Albert disagreed: "Hahaha, if I remember correctly, that prince was only 10 years old at the time. You respect a little kid as your leader? It's too funny!"

Ministers: "Hahahaha..."

After Albert finished laughing, he said: "Come on, tell me your intentions, what do you want from me?"

"The first thing is to protest and demand compensation against your fifth prince Rodney for sending spies to steal our country's secrets and killing our civilians. The second thing after that is to establish normal diplomatic relations."

"You are so brave! Dare you protest to the empire?" a minister shouted.

"I ask you a question, have you joined the Human Alliance?"

Baird replied: "No."

Albert slapped the dragon chair hard and said: "Okay! I won't kill you today. I will let you go back and tell that little brat of yours that I am declaring war on him! Give him away!"

Baird didn't expect that this guy would actually declare war directly, and was sent away in surprise. He thought, it's over, screwed up, His Highness will definitely blame me.

It's just that Rhett didn't punish him after he returned. After listening to his complete account of what happened, he praised him for doing the right thing. It's only right to kill someone to pay for their life. What's wrong with asking for compensation? It’s just that Rhett didn’t expect that Albert would declare war directly. It seemed that the intelligence was still too little. Rhett wrote a letter and asked someone to secretly bring it to Abe who was performing espionage activities in the West Bay Federation, ordering him to follow Stephen’s mission. The empire develops informants.

Of course, Red is not afraid of the Stephen Empire's army. There is nothing to be afraid of an army that doesn't even dare to fight Goblins. What's more, it will take at least three months for them to assemble the army. By then, his new batch of weapons will have been ready. Installed

After Albert sent Baird away, he asked Prime Minister Mo Luozi: "Is the fiefdom of the fifth prince in the south of the empire?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Then let him do whatever he wants. I have declared war for him. He can grab whatever he wants."

Moluozi said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is wise, the fifth prince is the one who develops the slowest. The other princes have already established relationships with the people in their own fiefdoms. In this way, not only can the strength of the fifth prince be improved, but also the strength of the fifth prince can be improved. Allowing him to compete fairly with other princes can also increase the territory of the empire and gain a large territory for free."

"I really don't know if this Japanese Republic that suddenly jumped out has something wrong with its brain. It actually dares to talk to me like this in the main hall."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Isn't it worth being happy that a fool is giving you something?"

"You're right, hahaha..."

After Bedel returned, the latest issue of the newspaper reported the results of diplomacy with the Stephen Empire. People learned that the Stephen Empire actually declared war on His Highness Red!

A small number of fugitives wanted to leave. They were citizens of the Sunri Republic. They enjoyed the benefits given to them by the Republic but did not want to take responsibility. These people were arrested and paraded in public.

Of course, there were also the merchants in Anru City who fled immediately after hearing the news, as if they would be captured and used as young men if they didn't leave. The previously bustling city suddenly became half quiet.

Most people feel angry because they were slaves before, the lowest common people, who have been oppressed for a long time. After receiving education, they realize that the previous suffering was caused by the feudal nobles, and they do not want to go back to their previous lives.

Therefore, Rhett did not adopt compulsory conscription, but volunteered to join the army. In an instant, 7 people signed up. In addition to the 3 standing troops, the Republic of Japan now has a total of 10 troops, divided into three armies. Newly signed up to join the army After three months of training, they will be sent to the battlefield.

The original Nirvana First Army and the newly formed Nirvana Third Army, a total of 6 people, will be arranged to the junction with the Stephen Empire in the north. The Nirvana Second Army, with 4 people, will be stationed in the east to prevent monsters in the occupied area. Invasion.

The output of new equipment is currently not large, and the military industry is still in the process of transformation. Workers are not very familiar with the new machine tools produced by Red, so the custom-made bullet guns are currently only installed by about 4000 people in the third brigade of the first division of the first army, 105 mm. The same goes for howitzers.

Rhett felt it was time to name the weapons and equipment. The musket was called Type A, the future machine gun was called Type B, and the artillery was called Type C. Therefore, the current rifle using 7.62mm bullets is called Type A-105 rifle, and the mm howitzer is called Type-C howitzer. .

At the same time, in order to ensure real-time communication between the armies, Rhett made the telegraph machine in advance. The batteries that were regularly replaced could only be rubbed by Rhett alone. He also launched training for command-level officers and found suitable candidates to serve as telegraph operators. , this is only 3 months.

The war between the two sides is already on the verge of breaking out.
