Infantry landmines, grenade throwing, etc. have developed finished products, and light and heavy machine guns and light artillery have also entered the final stage of design. I believe that finished products will appear soon.

By the time these weapons and equipment can be mass-produced and put into use, the military strength of Leber City will reach an unprecedented stage of terror, and its combat power will be close to that of a modern army.

At that time, with a force of about a thousand people, you can defeat ten times or even a hundred times your enemies. The curtains of steel and flames intertwined will make those enemies whose equipment level is still in the medieval era feel the strongest fear.

At the same time, after Eugen's recommendation, the First Institute also conducted some research on the two aspects of steam engines and electricity. After all, these two technologies represent more profound concepts. Although Kamal, the director of the Institute, was smart enough, he could not understand the mystery in a short period of time.

However, at least the prototype of the steam engine has been developed and has a lot of understanding of the characteristics of electricity. I believe that these two forces will be mastered by Leibir City in no time.

By that time, Lebir City can directly lead the first and second industrial revolutions, and its technological level will far exceed that of other countries of the same period.

If science and technology in other places are still in the stage of early childhood, then Leibir City can be said to have reached the stage of teenager and is constantly moving towards adulthood and maturity.

Eugen was naturally very happy about these new changes. With the strength, he could do what he wanted to do more with confidence and boldness.

Seeing that the basic conditions were about to mature, Eugen felt a move in his heart, and a plan that had long existed in his mind was finally brought up.

That is, with new weapons as the center, open the doors of commercial areas in various places, let the economic tentacles of Leber City penetrate into every corner of the empire, and continuously absorb huge benefits for the city.

Do what you want. In order to achieve this goal, the first thing Eugen needs to do is to establish a large commercial bank. If you want to promote business development, banks are naturally an indispensable part.

Just at this moment, two people from the Wittelsbach family came to Eugen.

When he first met Viscount Pigad and Butler Rud, Eugen almost forgot who these two were, and even almost let the guards drive them out.

It was the Butler Rud who said something in time that made Eugen remember.

"Earl Eugen, have you forgotten? We still owe you a lot of gold coins?"

After saying this, Eugen suddenly realized and said, "Oh, yes, I remember it. It was Viscount Pigaard and Butler Rud. Yes, when will you pay back the gold coins you owe me?"

Hearing this sentence, Viscount Piggard spread his hands with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Haha, Earl Eugen, please stop joking. Look at my miserable appearance now, where can I have gold coins for you."

Viscount Pigad was really not crying for poverty. In the previous battle of Lebir, besides the defeated Viscount Tarik, Viscount Pigad was the worst.

When he was beaten out of the Lebir area by Tarik, he even threw away his pants when he ran away. Later, with Eugen returning strongly, he was lucky enough to get back two small towns. Eugen turned a blind eye to this and ignored him.

Viscount Pigad had no shame to come to see Eugen, but seeing that he was getting worse and worse, he finally found Eugen's door.

"Count Eugen, you see, after all, we signed an agreement, saying that we would fight against Tarik together. Now Tarik has been defeated by us. Look at the interests of this Lebre area, should we also allocate it?"

"Hey hey, stop!" When I heard that I wanted to distribute the benefits, Eugen immediately jumped up and said with his eyes wide open, "What are you saying? Did Tarik fight together? Is it clearly the one I beaten down by myself? You were so miserable that I saved your life."

When Viscount Pigaard heard Eugen's words so bluntly, Viscount Pigaard couldn't help but blush. After these days of fucking, he had long lost his white and fat appearance. He became thin and dry, and he shrank a lot, and he couldn't tell what he was originally. This was why Eugen did not recognize him at the beginning.

"Oh." Viscount Pigad sighed and said pitifully: "Earl Eugen, you can't say that. I have helped you to hold up some of the troops of Tarik, and at the beginning I also consumed a lot of his combat power. Besides, you can obviously beat Tarik, but you saw that I was beaten and couldn't help me before, which is unreasonable."

Eugen rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "I have no time to help you at that time, let alone help you. If I put it in the wild and fight Tarik head-on, I can't beat Tarik."

Of course, he didn't say these words. Looking at Pigard's miserable appearance, he remembered that the other party helped him in the early days. Eugen finally spoke: "Okay, okay, that's it. If you swear allegiance to me, I will give you a power to get your glory again."

"Ah?" When Viscount Pigad heard this, he was stunned. He did not expect Eugen to propose such a condition.

"Why, aren't you happy?" Seeing Pigard's reaction, Eugen immediately looked stern and said coldly: "Hmph, I am the lord of the Count of the Leber region conferred by His Majesty Charles VI. You are the viscount here, and you should be loyal to me. Do you think this is the time of chaos at that time? I tell you that if you are not loyal, I will drive you out directly. I see what the Vettelsbach family can do to me."

First, he showed off his big stick and threatened him. Eugen immediately smiled and said, "And the development potential of my city, Lebir, is huge. If you follow me, you will not suffer any loss. In the future, my status will improve and you can become stronger. What's wrong with this?"

After being tricked by Eugen's big stick and sweet dates, Viscount Pigad finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

In fact, he had no choice. Eugen is too strong now. Not to mention him, even Eugen doesn't have to pay too much attention to the family forces behind him.

Seeing Viscount Pigad nodding in agreement, Eugen was immediately excited and without any preparation, he pulled out his sword and said to Viscount Pigad, "Okay, you kneel down and take a swearing."

Viscount Pigad was startled by Eugen's action of pulling his sword. He thought Eugen was going to cut him. When he realized that he immediately asked with surprise: "Ah? Is it here?"
