Chapter 114 The Kingdom of Sark Also Has a Magic Trebuchet

"You are right. The military magic machinery is very powerful. It can even be said to be the core equipment of our Lampari King's Army. Of course, it cannot be sold to other countries casually..." Major McConley nodded, Appreciate Xu Yi's rejection of the Principality of Standing's request to purchase military magic machinery.

After seeing the envoy sent by Anglu last night, Xu Yi went to the military training ground outside the city to find Major McConley the next morning.

In addition to meeting in accordance with the prior agreement, by the way, he also told Major McConley about part of the conversation with the envoy of Anklu last night.

After all, military magic machines are different from ordinary household magic machines, so they will obviously be subject to certain controls.

Ordinary weapons and equipment are fine, things like military magic machinery are also very important to King Lampari's military department, so naturally they have to notify the military department in advance and obtain the military department's approval.

However, the military department obviously did not want such important things to flow outside the Lampari Kingdom, so Major McConley expressed his deep approval for Xu Yi's decision.

Xu Yi chuckled: "Since the military agrees that military magic machinery is the core equipment, shouldn't we place more orders?"

Major McConley laughed dryly: "Well... we need to discuss it before making a decision." Xu Yiqi said: "This is not quite right. When the military department had no money before, it placed so many orders with our chamber of commerce. This year The kingdom’s finances have improved so much, and the budget of the military department will definitely increase a lot, so why are you hesitant to buy military magic machinery?”

Major McConley shook his head slowly. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly and said, "President Xu, you have a close relationship with Her Royal Highness. You must have heard that His Royal Highness Prince Eric is rectifying the Northern Army and planning to counterattack the Kingdom of Sark, right?"

"It is true that Her Royal Highness has mentioned it before." Xu Yi nodded. "But what does this have to do with the military's hesitation to purchase military magic machinery? If you really want to counterattack the Sak Kingdom, shouldn't you buy more military magic machinery? Our Chamber of Commerce just developed two new types of military magic a while ago. Machinery, if it is equipped with the Zhenbei Army, it will definitely make this counterattack smoother."

"I know this very well, and I also believe in the ability of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But..." Major McConley had a wry smile on his face. "President Xu, the Zhenbei Army is currently under the command of His Highness Prince Eric, and the relationship between your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Her Highness Princess Seweney..." Xu Yi was slightly startled. He frowned and said, "Your Highness, the prince, wouldn't be so disregarding the overall situation, right? Regardless of the relationship between our chamber of commerce and His Royal Highness, there is no doubt about the role of these military magic machines."

"I understand, you understand, in fact, His Royal Highness also understands this. But... President Xu, the different positions between you and His Royal Highness have determined that many things cannot be done. I think you should be able to understand."

"I understand?" Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Although he hasn't met His Royal Highness Prince Eric until now, just from the decision he made, it can be seen that His Royal Highness is really short-sighted.

Even if the positions are different, how important it is for the Kingdom of Lampari to counterattack the Kingdom of Sark. In this kind of national affairs, if you still give up your advantages because of your position, wouldn’t it be a sacrifice in vain? The lives of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, even disregarding the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi's heart suddenly moved.

"Did His Majesty the Kingdom express his opinion on His Highness the Prince's decision?" Xu Yi asked.

Although there is not much contact with His Majesty the King. However, through a short contact with Xu Yi, it can be seen that His Majesty King Lampari XIII is worthy of being called the Ming Lord by everyone. He is extremely courageous, far-sighted, and very decisive.

Xu Yi didn't believe that he couldn't see the hidden problems behind Prince Eric's decision.

"His Majesty didn't say anything." Major McConley shook his head. "Because His Majesty the King stated that he would not interfere with any decisions made by the three of them when he assigned His Royal Highnesses the two Princes and His Royal Highness Princess Seweigny."

"But what His Royal Highness Prince Eric wants to do this time is related to the entire Lampari Kingdom. Does His Majesty still want to sit idly by?" Xu Yi said in amazement.

"Don't try to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts." Major McConley shook his head lightly, and then said: "But I think, His Majesty may just want to see the ability of His Highness Prince Eric through this incident... ..."

"Use the entire Zhenbei Army to test His Royal Highness Prince Eric?" Xu Yi frowned deeply. "Isn't His Majesty worried about overplaying and putting the entire Lampari Kingdom at a disadvantage?"

"I've said it before, don't try to guess His Majesty's thoughts." Major McConley told Xu Yi earnestly, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "Okay, this is the end of the discussion on this matter. I asked you to come here today mainly to show you something."

Puzzled, Xu Yi followed Major McConley to a warehouse next to the training ground. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a huge object standing upright in the middle of the warehouse.

With a glance over, Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment.

"This is... a magic trebuchet?" Xu Yi walked to this machine, which was similar in appearance to the magic trebuchet produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, carefully observed it, but shook his head again. "No, this thing is quite different from the magic trebuchet produced by our Chamber of Commerce. Major McConley, is it possible that your military department is secretly researching and making the magic trebuchet?"

"Do you have too much money for our military department? Why do you have to develop your own magic trebuchet when you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provides it?" Major McConley shook his head and glanced at the magic trebuchet in the middle of the warehouse. His eyes became serious. "This magic trebuchet was captured by the Zhenbei Army in a battle when the Sark Kingdom counterattacked the Murto Mountains some time ago."

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment: "That is to say... this magic trebuchet was made by the Kingdom of Sark?"

Young Hero Mai Kongli carefully observed the expression on Xu Yi's face, and after confirming that he was not cheating at all, he nodded slowly: "That's right."

The expression on Xu Yi's face immediately became incomparably dignified, and he circled the magic catapult a few times again, and even climbed to the top of the magic catapult to inspect it carefully.

After checking all the details, the expression on Xu Yi's face became more serious.

"How is it? President Xu, how does this magic trebuchet compare to the magic trebuchet produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Major McConley asked.

Xu Yi glanced at him and asked back, "What do you think?"

Major McConley shrugged his shoulders: "I think it's far behind. Although this magic trebuchet looks quite big, its power and frequency of throwing stones are much worse than the magic trebuchet of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Generally speaking, the power is too far apart."

"Well, I think so too. But..." Xu Yi looked up at the huge magic trebuchet that was as tall as three of him. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. "The Kingdom of Sark was able to imitate the magic trebuchet. We really shouldn't underestimate them. Besides the magic trebuchet, have they imitated the magic crossbow?"

"Not yet." Major McConley shook his head. "President Xu, I asked you to look at this thing, mainly to ask, what do you think... how similar is this magic trebuchet to the magic trebuchet of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"...

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you doubting our chamber of commerce?"

"I do doubt it." Major McConley nodded with a serious expression. "President Xu, you once said that although the magic trebuchet looks bulky, it is actually a very precise magic machine. Even if there is a slight mistake, it may make the whole magic trebuchet unable to work, so If you want to develop and produce it, it is extremely difficult.”

"That's right, I said so." Xu Yi stretched out his finger and pointed at the magic trebuchet beside him. "A magic trebuchet uses several tons of steel alone, and contains as many as two hundred parts. Any part requires extremely precise and strict requirements. As long as there is a mistake, let alone make it work normally, even if you want to It’s very difficult to assemble it successfully.”

"So I want to ask...how did the Kingdom of Sark produce such a magical trebuchet that requires such precision and is so difficult to develop?" Major McConley looked at Xu Yi suddenly with extremely sharp eyes, as if two It stabbed deeply like a knife.

Xu Yi met Major McConley's gaze, did not give in at all, and said slowly with a serious expression: "I understand that you doubt our thoughts, but Major McConley, I must solemnly explain to you that our chamber of commerce will never privately Such an important thing should be handed over to a country other than the Lampari Kingdom, let alone an enemy country like the Sark Kingdom."

Major McConley stared at Xu Yi for a while, then nodded slightly: "If I didn't believe you, Chairman Xu, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now, you should have been thrown into prison long ago gone."

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "If I want to betray the Lampari Kingdom, it's not just as simple as a magic trebuchet."

Major McConley's face changed slightly, obviously thinking of the serious consequences if Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce betrayed the Lampari Kingdom, he pondered for a moment, his face moved, and he smiled at Xu Yi again.

"I believe in your loyalty to the kingdom, President Xu. But the Kingdom of Sark was able to make a magic trebuchet. I hope that you can explain to me and the military department as soon as possible. If you can't do it, President Xu, The military will send someone to assist you."

The last sentence was almost a threat and a warning, but Xu Yi didn't care much about Major McConley's tone at this time.

Compared with Major McConley's threats and warnings, the first question to be clarified is whether this magic trebuchet was developed by the Sak Kingdom after seeing the magic trebuchet used by the Zhenbei Army, or was it Steal the research and development materials of the magic trebuchet from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then imitate it.

If it is the latter, the problem is undoubtedly much more serious. )
