Lin Youde was standing on the deck admiring the heroic figure of his wife moving about in the sky.
Although in the first hour, Josephine was still a little unfamiliar with the use of the new flight system, now she seems to have fully adapted to the new system. She can master the equipment with subversive design concepts so quickly, which once again refreshed Lin Youde's understanding of the new flight system.
Perception of wife’s abilities.
At this time, Victoria, who had been using the radio to instruct Josephine to make various actions to test the system, took off the headset and walked to Lin Youde.
"In Horanggabo, Sophie firmly believed that 'Mom will definitely be able to master it'. It's really strange that they are obviously unrelated mother and daughter, but they behave like a real mother and daughter."
Lin Youde smiled and said nothing.
So Victoria continued: "I dare to ask a question, master. Why do you spend so much silver to make that kind of thing? This is not in line with your army-building policy, isn't it?"
Lin Youde turned his head and glanced at Victoria, and found that the girl's red eyes were staring at him intently.
"First of all, I have a lot of wealth in my hands, but my wealth comes from my 'prestige', and the prestige that an army that can conquer and fight well can generate is not enough in my opinion."
What Lin Youde said is the truth. Paper money, a currency that has no value in itself, has an extremely huge role in gathering social wealth into the hands of the paper money issuer. In the era when Lin Youde grew up, the role of hard currency was minimal.
The diversification of social wealth has caused the "wealth gathering" function of paper money to become extremely hidden. However, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, gold and silver hard currency was still the most basic component of wealth, so Nanyang Bank issued paper money.
Naturally, he collected all the gold and silver circulating in society, that is, wealth, into his own treasury.
Around 1900, this magic was realized in a simple and direct way: for convenience, the public exchanged valuable gold and silver hard currency for worthless banknotes at the bank, and the value was concentrated in the hands of Lin Youde. Then Lin Youde used
These hard currencies purchased the things he needed from those countries and regions that did not yet recognize Nanyang Banknotes. In other words, Lin Youde's actual wealth was far less than the wealth handed over to him by the people. Once the credit of Nanyang Banknotes was completely lost, Lin Youde
The foundations of the empire will collapse.
Therefore, Lin Youde needs people, especially those living in areas where Nanyang Banknotes are the mainstream currency, to believe that Lin Kee is extremely powerful. As long as people believe this, the authority of Nanyang Banknotes will not be doubted.
Therefore, although cheap and easy-to-use ordinary weapons are the mainstream of army building, some high-precision equipment must also be produced ruthlessly. The mission of the former is to ensure a real victory, while the mission of the latter is to deter: to deter the enemy and one's own people.
.
"Well, I don't quite understand." Victoria shook her head, "What about other reasons?"
"...I am her husband, and I will do my best to protect her life. Isn't this natural? I can't go to the battlefield myself, so I can only provide her with the best equipment as much as possible."
"Hey...Master, you don't regard her as a tool, right?"
"No, she is indeed my tool. The cause I want to accomplish requires her power, so I can only 'use' her without hesitation."
"Like in bed?"
"You really dare to say anything."
"This shows that you are a kind and good master. In front of the previous master, I didn't even dare to make a sound. I was obviously scared to death, but I could only stop my sobbing because I would be beaten and scolded.
"
Lin Youde glanced at the girl again. Her thin and frail body seemed to be crumbling in the strong wind generated by the flight of the Yunzhou.
"However," Lin Youde turned his attention to the white machine silhouette flying freely in the sky, "Although she is a tool, she is also my wife. There is no contradiction between the two. I will use her power like a tool, and I will
Love and protect her like a husband."….
"What a hypocritical statement."
Lin Youde was not annoyed either. He could laugh off any truly malicious slander. There was no way he would be dissatisfied with Victoria's apparently harmless comments.
At this time, Josephine approached Yunzhou.
"How do you feel?" Lin Youde grabbed the headset from Victoria's hand and asked his wife.
"It's too difficult to control. If mass-produced, I'm afraid most people won't be able to master it."
"Don't worry, there's no way this thing can be mass-produced."
"Why?"
"It's too expensive. At least for now, it's too expensive. Come back, we'll be in Fengtian early tomorrow morning. We need to recharge our batteries."

Josephine Joffre stood in the cold winter sunshine, closing her eyes and concentrating.
There was a faint rumble of gunfire in the distance, and I was afraid that the moment I opened my eyes, I would see billowing smoke rising on the horizon.
The family armor that has accompanied her for a long time has faithfully carried out its duties, strengthening Josephine's "sixth sense" and allowing her sensory tentacles to extend to the distant battlefield.
The fierce confrontation between life and death aroused Josephine's nerves. Josephine knew that the twisted character of the shakigan enchantress was actually not uncommon. The high-level enchantress had the urge to destroy and kill in her heart. The enchantress's
Power comes from the spirit. Without this impulse in the heart, power cannot be stimulated.
Of course, the situation will be different for each person. Josephine subconsciously thought of Ba, who had already taken off in advance to be on guard. She wondered what the situation was like for that girl who was always as gentle as water.
For Josephine, the inner impulse to destroy and kill manifested itself in the form of excitement.
For example, right now, Josephine's hand holding the war hammer is shaking violently. This is definitely not fear, but a manifestation of desire: the desire for victory, the desire for glory, and... the desire for killing and destruction. History
In ancient times, the Holy Knights often played the role of fanatical killers. The Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller, Teutonic Knights, all these famous knights had blood on their hands.
The Order of Saint Laurent is no exception.
Therefore, Josephine has always adhered to the strict requirements of chivalry and suppressed the devil in her heart.
But now, the devil is about to break out of his cocoon.
The rx-78 is undoubtedly a powerful weapon. Although she did not actually test the effect of the electromagnetic gun yesterday, Josephine is still very convinced that her husband gave her the Sword of Hercules. With this weapon, she will undoubtedly meet
It was a glorious victory, but it was also because of the weapon that exceeded the specifications. The more brilliant the victory, the less glorious it was.
but……
"This has nothing to do with personal honor or disgrace," Lin Youde was delivering a speech to the entire ship using a loudspeaker. Most of the staff on the ship were from Yuan Weiting, so Lin Youde seemed particularly impassioned. He wanted to drive inspiring ideas into these ships.
In people's hearts, "The rise and fall of empires depends on this battle!"
The corners of Josephine's mouth raised slightly.
empire.
For the glory of the empire.
"Now, I order, 'It will be sunny and the waves will be high today.'"
That was the code word for an attack.
Josephine didn't know why Lin Youde took such a roundabout way to specify such a code word, but it didn't matter.
The girl activated her mental power, and the power core on the main weapon began to operate. The escaping current passed through the girl's body, and then, the Psyche skeleton on the body emitted a faint blue light.
"I wish you a glorious victory." Viktoria, who rarely wore a black military uniform, followed the example of the soldiers around her and saluted Josephine, and conveyed her blessings through the radio.
The light in front of Josephine turned green.
The hydraulic mechanism suddenly exerted force, and the steel frame supporting Josephine moved, throwing the three-and-a-half-ton weapon and the girl over the side of Yun Zhou's ship...
The girl started the propeller in the air, and the white body dragged a blue tail and flew toward the war-torn horizon.

Under the cover of his adjutant, Luo Tianyi withdrew to the rear of the war zone and took a short rest.
The Russians did not pursue them at all because there was no need.
The Russians took advantage of the number of Shenjis and adopted a wheel battle for two consecutive days. Each time the number of Shenjis attacking Fengtian was just slightly more than the Chinese Shenjis stationed in Fengtian. They fought for a while and then withdrew and replaced them with another group.
.There have been no casualties among the goddesses on both sides in the past two days, but the Chinese girls have lost weight several times from exhaustion, while the Russian girls still have plump breasts and round buttocks.
"Commander, retreat. As long as we create a desperate situation, the Russians should allow us to leave. After all, they don't want to compromise the precious Shenji's combat power." The adjutant advised the petite girl who was stuffing buns into her mouth.
"I can not be reconciled!"
"Eh?"
"We are obviously going to win soon. As long as there is someone in the court who understands the overall situation and persuades Lafayette and His Majesty to send the sisters from Beijing, we will win. I won't give in!" Luo Tianyi added while eating steamed buns.
As he spoke, Jian Li began to shed tears - although the young commander had a brilliant mind and outstanding abilities, he was still a child after all.
"But..." Just as the adjutant was about to say something, the girl gnawing on the bun suddenly stood up and turned to look in the direction of Beijing.
"what is that?"
**
That's a white shooting star.
The meteor rushed into the battlefield at a speed far beyond the imagination of all the girls present, and then avoided all attacks with unconventional maneuverability. It passed through the battlefield and drew a brilliant arc on the other side of the sky.
The flying battleship that goes straight to the rear of the war zone serves as the mobile base of the Russian Goddess.
The leader of the Second Cossack Paladin Regiment, who had been on the ship and had not been dispatched, immediately took to the air to meet the enemy.
The white meteor stopped suddenly in front of the battleship. The turbulence caused by the violent maneuver caused the water vapor in the air to liquefy, forming a rolling mist around the stopped meteor. This mist quickly froze at low temperatures and turned into fine ice crystals.
"I am Josephine Xiafei, the concubine of Lin Youde Guards," "Meteor" announced loudly in English, "Whoever stands in my way, please tell me your name."
After the Russian goddess announced her home address in Russian, she quickly moved to the side without waiting for Josephine to react.
Although the opponent was wearing armor that could not be understood by common sense, the Russian girl still chose to take action immediately. Not fearing any powerful enemy, this is the pride and glory of a knight.
But this pride and glory fell in the blink of an eye.
In just one second, the weapon on the shoulder of "Meteor" poured hundreds of rounds of ammunition into the glorious Russian knight. Measured by the standards of the goddess, the attack accuracy of the pure white goddess is shamefully low, even for the lowest level.
Even the goddess has the right to despise this former French knight, but the amazing firepower makes up for the lack of attack accuracy.
The Russian goddess was hit by eight bullets. The air combat armor was not designed to be hit multiple times. The guidance runes on the surface of the armor were overloaded and overflowed with a large amount of heat energy, melting the entire armor carrying the runes.
The red molten iron flowed onto the girl's delicate skin, and the pungent burnt smell immediately overwhelmed the aroma of lavender and mint.
The girl screamed miserably.
The white knight still hovered in place, watching indifferently as his dying opponent fell to the burning earth.
Suddenly, Shen Ji, who accompanied the leader of the Holy Knights into the sky, let out a silent cry and charged towards the white knight.
The hail of bullets directly tore her body into pieces—her body's protection was far less sophisticated than that of their leader.
"Recognize the reality, your mobility cannot handle such firepower."
The words of the white knight were cold and indifferent, as if the hundreds of concubines surrounding her were just tiny stains on the curtain called the sky, which could be wiped away with a wave of hand.
"From now on. The beautiful, elegant and noble age of knights is over. Next is the age of steel, fire and blood. Facing this new era with the equipment of the old era, you are seeking your own death."
