I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 234 New Crisis

In that heated meeting, Alpha's proposal was like a stone that set off a thousand waves, winning Javier's enthusiastic response: "I firmly support Alpha's brilliant suggestion. Our Montgomery family will fully invest to build a brilliant Mins Transportation City."

Guston also stood up, his eyes flashing with cunning and shrewdness: "I agree as well. In fact, our Guston family has already generously given the Luster Iron Mine to Alpha to mine. I firmly believe that Lord Alpha will successfully build a railway through the border."

As long as such a vital railway is successfully built, the port trade of the emerging families headed by the Thames family will be greatly strengthened and will completely break free from the constraints and restrictions of the Orff family.

Amid the noisy debate, Alpha stood up calmly and firmly emphasized the key significance and potential benefits of building Mins City. He clearly pointed out that the rise of this transportation hub city will strongly promote close cooperation and coordinated development among various families, bringing endless business opportunities and a large number of employment opportunities to everyone. He passionately called on everyone to work together and contribute their own strength to the bright future of the city.

However, Sakata stood firm in his position, firmly believing that the cost of building Mins City was too high and might cause unforeseen risks. He raised a series of well-reasoned concerns, which resonated with some of the participants.

The tension in the meeting gradually escalated, with all parties arguing with each other and refusing to give in. Seeing this, Guston cleverly tried to ease the tension. He kindly expressed his willingness to further discuss the specific details of the cooperation with Alpha to ensure that the interests of each family can be fully protected.

After intense discussions, the meeting finally decided to set up a special committee, which will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive and in-depth study and evaluation of the plan for building Mins City.

After a long and intense discussion, although the specific plan for this transit city has not yet been unanimously agreed upon by everyone, the decision of the three major families of Alpha, Guston and Javier has already kicked off the construction of the City of Mins.

The Alpha family undertook the supply of rails and other supporting facilities required for the railway construction, and planned to build Mins City into an industrial center. They discussed all the details of the work within three days and began to prepare for the site selection and construction of Mins City.

In this era, the process of land acquisition was extremely simple. The government only needed to issue an order to complete it without any compensation. This was due to the fact that the local area was vast and sparsely populated, and the land value was insignificant. People would not argue over these worthless lands. This background provided great convenience for the construction of the City of Mins.

Under the leadership of the Alpha family, the planning and construction of Mins City is proceeding in an orderly manner. They not only take into account the construction and operation of the railway, but also plan to introduce various industrial facilities in the city to make it a prosperous industrial center.

Guston and the Javier family are also actively participating in the construction. They jointly invest and manage to ensure that the construction of Mins City can proceed smoothly. Their cooperation not only brings funds and resources to Mins City, but also injects more vitality and hope into the city's future.

Despite the differences and disputes during the discussion, the cooperation and foresight of the three families eventually led to the birth of the City of Mins. This city will become a new barrier for the internal security of the Free Alliance, and will also bring new business opportunities and development potential to the alliance.

…A Tale of Two Cities: Industry and Technology…

After the construction plan of the City of Mins was in full swing, Alphamar rushed back to Beth without stopping. He knew that Beth City was about to usher in an earth-shaking change. For this reason, he could not wait to convene a group of core leaders and hold a crucial meeting, including Beatrice.

At the beginning of the meeting, Beatrice spoke first, and her voice revealed deep worry: "Lord Alpha, if we fully support the construction of Mins New City, Bes New City will probably be severely impacted."

Alpha nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Beatrice's concerns, but he already had a comprehensive plan in mind. He said with a firm gaze, "Beatrice, I have a grand plan. I plan to build an industrial center in Mins City and build Bess New City into a technological capital. All highly polluting factories will be moved to Mins City, leaving room for the sustainable development of Bess City."

Beatrice looked embarrassed. After all, these plans were the result of her hard work. She said hesitantly, "This may be difficult, Master Alpha."

Alpha took a deep breath. He knew that in order to change the status quo, he had to get everyone to abandon their conservative ideas. He said earnestly, "Belis, look at Cross. The heavy industry there has caused extremely serious pollution to the environment. If this continues, the green mountains and clear waters will disappear, and the clear water will become black and smelly. We must not let Beth repeat the same mistake."

Alpha's determination and foresight inspired Beatrice, who began to understand the grand blueprint in Alpha's mind. With a firm light in her eyes, she responded: "I understand, Lord Alpha. We will work together to make Beth a city full of innovation and technology."

As the meeting progressed, Alpha elaborated on the plan to focus on the development of heavy industry in Mins City and the strategy to promote technological innovation and sustainable development in Beth City. His plan not only focuses on economic prosperity, but also takes into full consideration environmental protection and the quality of life of residents.

Beatrice and other leaders were inspired by Alpha's grand vision. They all expressed their willingness to do their best to support this change and work together to create a dual-city future with both strong industrial strength and vitality of technological innovation.

"Tasli, Quinn, your top priority right now is to eliminate all the rats in the Free City area. These rats are like maggots attached to your bones, and they are really annoying." Alpha has never forgotten the enemies who attacked the caravan, and now he finally has the time and energy to clean them out thoroughly.

"Yes, we will complete the task successfully." When Tasli and Monkey learned that they had been assigned specific tasks, they excitedly agreed.

"Gurus, I need to produce a small number of rapid-fire rifles and sniper rifles now." Originally, Alpha did not intend to develop machine guns and sniper rifles when rifles were not yet fully developed.

However, in this escort mission, facing those mutants and modified humans, ordinary rifles can hardly cause effective damage to them, and Alpha must ensure the safety of the team.

"Okay, leave it to me, Master Alpha, you can rest assured!" Gurus agreed excitedly. After all, there are reserves of technology in this area, but it was sealed up because Alpha did not agree before.

"For the caliber of bullets, we set it at 7mm, and the caliber of machine guns and sniper rifles is 12mm. You can determine the specific size through actual experiments. What I need is range, penetration ability and accuracy." Alpha needs to ensure the safety of its own people and cause maximum damage to the enemy, especially to the mutant orcs.

In Alpha's mind, he vaguely remembered the designs of Mauser 98k, American M1, and Soviet Morgana. He handed these remaining rough drawings to the dwarf, because other guns had gradually become blurred in his memory and could not be fully recalled. Nevertheless, the knowledge provided by Alpha was enough, after all, the development of guns in this era was still in its infancy.

"Lord Alpha, for bullets larger than seven millimeters, we are currently unable to limit them to the range that can be used by junior knights. At least for intermediate knights, a twelve millimeter sniper rifle is the minimum requirement, and the requirements for rapid-fire machine guns may be higher." Gurus reminded.

Alpha then realized that he had overlooked this problem. In this world, the ignition of gunpowder must rely on a special energy powder, which makes the use of firearms more difficult and not easy for ordinary people to operate.

At the same time, under the excellent leadership of Alpha, the construction of the city of Beth and Mins was progressing in an orderly manner. He carefully considered not only the construction and operation of the railway into the plan, but also planned to introduce various advanced industrial facilities in the city, and was committed to making it a prosperous industrial center.

Guston and the Javier family also showed a positive attitude and devoted themselves to the construction of Mins City. They generously donated money and worked together to ensure that the construction of Mins City could proceed smoothly. Their sincere cooperation not only brought abundant funds and resources to Mins City, but also injected endless vitality and hope into the future of this city.

In Beth City, Alpha is also promoting the transformation of the city. He is determined to build Beth City into a city of science and technology, reduce pollution from heavy industry, and make the city more livable. He guides Bilis to train new employees and introduce new technologies to inject new impetus into the development of Beth City.

Alpha's efforts and vision gradually gained recognition from everyone. Under his leadership, the two cities are moving towards a brighter future and becoming two shining pearls in the Free Alliance.

...a dangerous frontier...

"Lord Alpha, something terrible has happened! Riots have broken out in the German Empire to our west. A large number of modified humans and mutant orcs have occupied large tracts of territory. A large number of refugees have poured into the Rooster mining area, and the security situation there has taken a sharp turn for the worse." Lilia's scout Buddel quickly delivered the information, causing Alpha, who was originally preparing to rest, to immediately become alert.

"You said there was a riot in the German Empire? Give me the map, Mingyue." Alpha was not familiar enough with Europe at that time, and he didn't even know much about geography.

"Lord Alpha, please look here." Mingyue unfolded the map and pointed to one of the locations. "The nearest riot site to us is Minks, which is located in the Austro-Hungarian province of the German Empire. The enemy controls a large number of mutant legions, and the German Knights cannot withstand their attack." Knight Budder explained quickly.

Alpha realized the urgency of the situation and immediately gave an order: "Mingyue, Fanxing, gather everyone to the conference room for a meeting immediately." He knew that he had to gather everyone at night to discuss countermeasures.

In the conference room, Alpha said solemnly: "This riot may not be simple. The key is that the mutants and modified humans, these forces hidden in the darkest corners of the continent, have gathered together and erupted. We must act quickly. Budder, you lead a team of knights back first, and tell Mark to make flexible decisions and focus on protecting the mining area. For the refugees, let them enter Fatalia first and provide necessary assistance." Alpha originally wanted to make more arrangements, but he decided to make a decision after understanding the specific situation.

Alpha thought to himself that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this riot. The emergence of mutants and cyborgs was no accident. Why did they choose to start the riot in the German Empire? Are there other forces fanning the flames? These questions kept popping up in his mind, and he decided to go to the German Empire in person to uncover the truth behind the riot.

As the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense, Alpha's position was firm and clear, and his voice revealed unquestionable determination: "We must act now to protect our people and prevent the war from expanding."

As the meeting progressed, Alpha and his team began to develop detailed emergency plans to deal with possible shocks and chaos. They knew that this sudden riot might pose a serious threat to their city, but they also believed that as long as they united as one, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

"Under the current circumstances, the crisis of rebellion in the German Empire is not an isolated incident. The entire continent seems to have been awakened by a powerful force, and we must race against time.
