The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

Yes.

Another place in the Negan Empire that is most disliked by the black men of the Takagi Kingdom is this. The black men never think that women can become the mainstay of the country, and even think that a society dominated by women is a symbol of a failed country. .

However, such a country with a strong matriarchal society finally beat the Takagi Kingdom to its knees and begged for mercy and took the initiative to reprocess the crown that it carefully crafted as the first trophy presented.

Not convinced.

Unwilling to do so.

Unwilling.

These three things became the creed that the Takagi Kingdom did not give up even if it became a slave state of the Akitsu Empire. Therefore, this also caused the Akitsu Empire to squeeze it deeper and deeper day by day.

The pig-headed men of the Akitsu Empire are not fools. They know that the Takagi Kingdom only surrenders on the surface, but has strong thoughts of resistance in their hearts.

After all, once the control of the Takagi Kingdom is relaxed, it means that the Takagi Kingdom will definitely resist with force.

Therefore, under the rule of the Akitsu Empire, even rice from the Takagi Kingdom had to be used as military rations and handed over to the Akitsu Empire in order to weaken or even restrict it as much as possible.

As a result, the economy of the Takagi Kingdom was naturally unable to improve, let alone the improvement of the overall national strength based on the economy.

As a result, the poor and weak Takagi Kingdom not only had no major development for a long time, but also caused the pace of modernization to be arduous.

The most basic thing about modernization is economic improvement, and how can the economy be improved?

industry.

Modern industry is the best answer.

And how do we want to accomplish modern industry?

Develop modern agriculture.

This is the path the Negan Empire has chosen.

Agricultural output is extracted through scissors and turned into profits for investment in industrial development. Ultimately, work can feed back the development of agriculture, thus continuously accumulating national funds and improving the strength of one's own country.

Of course, this is not how a family like Mona's family, which ostensibly runs a hotel but is actually engaged in mercenary business abroad, makes a fortune. After all, everyone knows that it is often the easiest way to make money by walking on the tightrope.

Even though not everyone can do this mercenary job.

There are also considerable risks.

For this reason, employees engaged in such an industry without exception have a rule of thumb not to explain.

At least two children must be left behind to be allowed to perform the first mission.

So everyone can think of one thing. Female mercenaries like Mona who don't take any protection at all and don't mind whether they get pregnant are not an isolated case.

What's more, the Mona family's main business is in the occupied areas of the Crurod Empire, dealing with black-haired kobolds and pig-headed men.

Such a business, at least on Mona's side, has only heard of her family making such money. After all, the black-haired kobolds are bloodthirsty, and the pig-headed men are a group of people who don't think it is a crime to recruit women from their country for physical comfort.

Perhaps the Akitsu Empire's road to becoming a strong nation was based on the fact that its male subjects went abroad to sell drugs and its female subjects opened a wide range of custom shops.

Anyway, on the second day, after Enzo left the room and continued to entertain the black hairs, Mona carefully read the second batch of information sent by the black hairs.

In particular, the black-haired people are obviously not born with magical power, but they have no information that they are affected by global mind control rays for the time being.

I have to say that the Takagi Kingdom is really sophisticated and insidious.

In order to reduce the pressure on the Akitsu Empire, the Takagi Kingdom successfully stole the neurotoxin preparation sample of the Orchid Republic and presented it to the pig-headed man of the Akitsu Empire. The pig-headed man successfully copied the formula through reverse engineering and used Injection for the whole population.

It's just a pity that even so, the Takagi Kingdom still actively participated in the Akitsu Empire's military operation to invade the territory of the Japanese and Mai people. The king of the Takagi Kingdom, no, the entire royal family is a puppet of the Akitsu Empire, and the suffering of the people is not worth mentioning in their eyes.

What's more, invading the territory of the Japanese and Mai people will also help the Takagi Kingdom seize more resources, as well as industrial and agricultural technologies.

In other words, the Takagi Kingdom has never thought about how to face this global mind control catastrophe from top to bottom. On the contrary, they followed the Akijin Empire, which was also not under control but had great connections with the demons, in the war of aggression.

Furthermore, the Akitsu Empire must have become a friend of the demons at some point, and took the initiative to lead the cannon fodder to annihilate the demons' greatest nemesis - the Rimai people who have absolute immunity to mind control.

However, according to some other information provided by Mona, Orchid Republic's neurotoxin preparation has entered the third generation of research and development. The theft of the first generation has long aroused the vigilance of the Orchid Republic, and even actively cooperated with the Negan Empire in this regard. Therefore, the second-generation neurotoxin preparation currently used by the Orchid Republic is not a toxin preparation that is simply prepared by poisoning in advance, and mixed with certain stable neutralizers and buffering drugs, but is a special drug that incorporates certain synthetic magic potions. The first generation has certain addictive properties, which makes the problem of possible addiction in users much better.

Of course, Mona very much doubted that such addiction would make the originally extreme-minded black-haired people even more bloodthirsty.

After all, the black-haired kobolds have a natural contempt for intelligent races that have no night vision and are like blind people in the dark night (in fact, the Eldar are also the object of their contempt, but they have obvious weaknesses in magic). Therefore, in the past hundreds of years, the black-haired kobolds completely wiped out the original indigenous human tribes on an entire continent. Without the protection of the Negan Empire, the last few hundred humans on the continent would have fled to other places alive. There is no chance of settling in mainland China.

At the same time, she looked at the 20mm semi-automatic combat cannon that the black-haired kobold named Nagamasa handed to Enzo, who then handed it to her.

Heavy.

This was her first impression.

But without this weight, which shooter can easily bear the impact of firing 20×110mm caseless shells? Weapons that are too light will cause shooters to suffer more serious injuries.

Moreover, there is also a voice in the Negan Empire saying that similar firearms will be developed.

But this is unlikely.

It’s not like the citizens of the Negan Empire don’t know magic. With magic power, do they still need guns and ammunition?

Although in reality, the regular army of the Negan Empire has a variety of guns and weapons; but this is just a historical tradition that adds icing on the cake, in order to make up for the weakness of the Negan Empire in the past that many people did not know magic at all. The current Negan Empire has experienced the rule of two generations of queens, and the people who do not know magic have long ceased to exist. Coupled with the law that also allows polygamy, Mona herself wants to know who else in the Negan Empire really doesn't know magic.

In general, regarding this 20mm semi-automatic anti-tank gun, even if Mona is interested, she can use electric shock spells, and using guns and weapons will put an extra burden on herself.

As for Enzo...he knows dark magic. Therefore, the most he can wear outside is a pistol and a waist knife for self-defense. He doesn't need a rifle or anything.

Enzo will manipulate his shadow to create shadow clones, and will suddenly open a shadow portal for rapid transfer.

So this is an important reason why Mona is very happy to have offspring with him.

Their eldest daughter, second daughter, and fourth son also have this ability. Especially the eldest daughter, she can already hold a sickle to quickly clone herself like her father, and even let her shadow clone lurk in certain objects to monitor secretly, or use it as a life-saving talisman for emergency escape when her body is fatally struck. .

No matter what, she accepted the gun.

At worst, she can sell it to the Orchid Republic in the north. They really need this weapon as an enhanced anti-equipment, or a necessary weapon for shooting light armor. After all, the Orchid Republic in the north is not a primitive tribal country. It is a country that has completed modernization. It also has dedicated 20×110mm witch-hunting caseless artillery shells to kill certain spell users.
