Utopia

That's just to say, there are only 42 permanent residents in East Corner City now, which can't even be called a town.

You should know that in the Kingdom of Nigan, a town must have at least 5 residents, and they must be registered as permanent residents.

For example, if it weren't for the recent establishment of the copper factory, there would be no permanent residents in Ruyi Town.

"Sogen, are you two back? Come and take a look at the road between East Corner City and our city..."

As a famous saying came from nowhere, to get rich, you must first build roads. As soon as Sogen returned to the Council Hall, he was quickly called over by the City Lord Minnie. Under the crystal projector in the conference room, the first road between Marle City and Dongjiao City has been built. But everyone knows that this is far from enough, and the next railway line is the highlight.

Although there is already internal information about the portal, for safety reasons, only very important node towns in the towns of the Kingdom of Negan in the New World can build portal devices under the protection of the army.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth transportation of people and materials, the sea, land and air transportation routes need to be treated seriously. Especially the land transportation route, which is the lowest cost so far. Although it is said that with the portal technology, it can actually save a lot of road construction work; but from time to time in the United Kingdom of Eri, there are warnings that cultists make portals to summon demon creatures by themselves, which makes the Kingdom of Negan have some distrust of the portal technology.

Therefore, normal sea, land and air transportation routes are not only indispensable, but also need to be divided into zones based on the routes.

In theory, commercial areas and factory areas have priority in enjoying the most convenient transportation routes. But this will also lead to a problem, that is, the more convenient the transportation is, the more likely it is to have public security problems.

For this problem, other officials in the Council Hall naturally proposed a new round of construction plans. After all, except for the core area surrounded by the city wall, all the villages and towns outside the city that pay taxes to the city are under the jurisdiction of the city. So how to ensure that the core administrative area and the residential area, as well as the commercial area in the middle and the factory area and farm area outside the city develop in coordination is the most troublesome task for the officials of the Council Hall.

Of course, as one of the officials of the city of Marle, Sogen, who is responsible for the statistics of various town data, naturally has to take out his files for his colleagues to review. The problem is that after the meeting, Sogen returned home after completing a day's work and received a letter from Beth.

"Manco? What does he want to talk to me about... Oh, I said there was no news about him recently, and it turns out that he went to Ruyi Town... No wonder Ruyi Town was able to build a copper factory, all because he found the copper ore vein and provided the miners to Ruyi Town... OK."

"But he wants to talk to you about the defense of Ruyi Town, hoping to get a batch of mortars through your channels."

"Beth, do you think it's possible? I'm not a military official."

Sogen is an official now, after all, and he is still quite vigilant about Manco's attempt to bribe him with a large sum of money. Of course, his refusal made Beth nod gently.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this is not a profitable thing. Especially in Marle City, there is an audit office directly under the jurisdiction of Congress, which specializes in investigating and supervising whether these officials have bribed or accepted bribes. What's more, if Ruyi Town really wants to develop peacefully, its ultimate way must be to seek help from the army.

Without the protection of the army, the gradually developing Ruyi Town, no matter how good its geographical location is, no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, the natives will always find this place and try every means to rob the wealth inside.

Even further, the natives are very likely to develop their own national strength through the means of seizure. So to be honest, in private, he Sogen is actually willing to give Manco some cannons as assistance. But this is not in accordance with the rules, so he looked at Xin Mi, who has been acting as the director of the arsenal for him, and a better choice appeared in his mind.

It's very simple, he doesn't show up, let Xin Mi talk to Manco, or Manco's wife Miley, isn't it?

Although Xin Mi has an obvious relationship with him that cannot be cut off, does Xin Mi's behavior have anything to do with him?

Strictly speaking, no.

Xin Mi is a female Kalai member with normal behavioral ability, and her spontaneous behavior has nothing to do with him as her husband.

So he called Xin Mi and began to give her instructions.

"That's it?"

"Xin Mi, I can't show up. It's not right for Manco to ask me, so I have to ask you to do it for me. Don't sell weapons and equipment that shouldn't be sold."

"No problem. 75mm cannon is okay? This thing is almost rusted and moldy in the warehouse."

Listening to Xin Mi talking about this, Sogen himself also felt amused. Due to the recent appearance of 4mm caliber self-propelled mortars, even if the 75 gun is equipped with an automatic loader, it cannot escape being disliked by more and more troops who start to enter the front-line battlefield in armored vehicles.

As a result, the 75 gun is now beginning to develop other types of shells to ensure that the 75 guns produced in the arsenal of Marle City or other places will not lose their market.

For example, the fire-fighting bomb used for firefighting, which can be used to put out fires in designated occasions through a timed or fixed-height fuse, has become the militia equipment dedicated to firefighting in the New World.

To put it bluntly, it is to explore as many performances of weapons and equipment as possible to avoid waste. However, it is precisely for this reason that the Ministry of National Defense is now also considering whether to list the 75 gun as retired equipment.

It's just that... there are countermeasures for every policy.

Especially now that the Minotaur tribe still sells their products from time to time, and these products are foreign trade products with no restrictions.

"If possible, sell them the guns that fire 8×25mm pistol bullets as well. At most, I can give them a discount..."

"Sogen, do you think it's possible? Our expedition team basically doesn't use this bullet."

"9× has been using 9mm pistol bullets and 8×53mm rifle bullets recently?"

"Yeah."

"It seems that Reso's sales are not good."

That being said, Sogen's performance with 8×25mm pistol bullets is actually good.

Although he hasn't shot it himself, the Minotaur tribe headed by Reso is famous for making heavy weapons. And for a race that can make heavy weapons well, light weapons will definitely not be a big problem.

Especially since Lehman had sent him a blueprint of a submachine gun that fired 8×25mm pistol bullets before, he still thinks that this submachine gun with a speed selector can be...
