Time flew, and it was already December.
After the large-scale invasion of the demons, the entire Kingdom of Karen was in a state of emergency for a long time. However, after the harsh winter, the attacks of the demons did not go beyond the physiological range of "normal creatures". Inevitably, the frequency of the attacks decreased.
In the north, where the temperature dropped the most, there were almost no new demons. The teleportation portals and a small group of demons that kept popping up like mushrooms after the rain had also disappeared. Obviously, the demons had found a place to hibernate in this world of ice and snow, waiting for the weather to warm up.
Because of this, the southern side of the continent became the area where the demons attacked the most. However, most of the residents of the Kingdom of Karen had retreated to the fortress. Although the demons seemed to be attacking in an "encirclement" pattern, in fact, most of them were fighting in small groups. Although they had an advantage in fighting against ordinary troops or farmers, they could not easily break through the city walls and fortresses. Therefore, after adapting to this kind of fighting style, the number of casualties began to decrease significantly. Until now, the Kingdom of Karen rarely had large-scale casualties.
As the number of battles increased, the human army's experience in fighting the demons also increased rapidly. Even the weapons, spells, and circles that targeted the demons were updated. After the communication circle was urgently put on the mass production list, almost every fortress now had the ability to quickly report the situation of the battle, and the ability to collect intelligence and information went through an earth-shattering change.
This was the result of the cooperation and optimization of the Magic Research Department. At the same time, it was also the result of the cabinet's willingness to throw money at it.
At the same time, because of the completion of a specialized factory, the Air Force of the Kingdom of Karen finally got rid of the state of "custom production" and had the ability to produce parts in a streamlined way. With the improvement and optimization of the technology, the production level of a "Falcon" reconnaissance plane had just reached the level of three days, and an "Albatross" transport plane could be produced in two weeks.
Although it was a significant improvement compared to before, Roddy still felt that the speed of the "rapid increase of troops" was still not enough.
However, there was nothing he could do.
The "Hollier Automobile Factory" had been fully put into production. Three trucks could be produced in a day, but the technical content of airplanes was much higher than that of "trucks". Most of the production procedures and processes were basically pushed forward by high-level "sorcerers". Not just workers, even low-rank sorcerers could not replace them.
The "industrialization" in the kingdom was still in its infancy. There was still a long way to go before it was fully industrialized. Most areas were basically the same as ten years ago.
However, as time went by, by February, the quantitative change finally brought about a qualitative change.
In this winter, the support of the air force of the Kingdom of Karen and the five Dragons gradually spread to most countries on the continent. From "causing conflict" at first, to "using strength to speak" to "using strength" to get rid of the demons that had killed countless people, the "Kallon Kingdom that cooperated with the dragons" quickly spread its name to all these countries.
After all, when it came to "fighting against demons", no matter which country the humans were from, they would not stand together with those vicious and cruel monsters. Moreover, the paratroopers and dragons of the Kallon Kingdom had effectively resolved the crisis brought about by the demons. Apart from food and lodging, they did not ask for any 'military expenses'.
The only thing they did after the war was to show off their sophisticated new weapons, saying that they could be sold to help fight against the demons.
After dozens of times of support, the "crystal guns", "crystal trucks", and even the swords, arrows, axes, spearheads, etc. produced by stamping machines and advanced formulas had become the main military materials of Lassiman and the eastern countries.
In the small towns in the south of Hollier near the mines, more factories were quickly built in a few months. In the winter, when no one went out, black smoke could still be seen.
The factories worked overtime to produce all kinds of military materials. Due to the improvement of industrial productivity, the purity of ore smelting was improved and the time-consuming was reduced. After that, there was no longer a need for blacksmiths to "hammer and hammer" to remove carbon impurities. Large stamping machines with the assistance of steam power and magic reduced the production time of countless expensive cold weapons to one-thousandth or even one-ten-thousandth.
With such efficiency, the demand for all kinds of ores and coal mines became vigorous, and the advantages of the train and road transportation became obvious. Not only did the production of all kinds of materials bring a large number of jobs, but because of the gathering of people, villages became towns, towns became cities, hotels and various industries brought a large number of jobs.
Many farmers were forced to leave the land to take refuge. Without farm work, they had a hard time in the winter. However, the huge shortage of jobs made these people quickly realize that as long as they were willing to work hard, they could earn a lot of money.
In the past, they could only hide in the farmhouse and warm themselves by the fire during the winter. Now, they could go to the tavern to buy a cup of warm beer after work. They could even satisfy other needs.

The situation now was quite similar, except that the farmers were not driven away by the capitalists, but by the demons. So in a sense, although these farmers were homeless and could only do odd jobs, they were emotionally stable and only blamed their hatred on the demons. After reading the newspaper, they even thanked the cabinet for giving them the opportunity to work.
"Stability" was the most important thing for Roddy at the moment. He did not want the internal situation to be in a mess when there was a foreign war.
The rapid expansion of military exports and a large number of orders allowed the central government of the Kingdom of Karen to quickly earn a large sum of "war money." The "trade surplus" became a huge shortcut to enhance the national strength.
In the history of Earth, after the beginning of the Age of Navigation, Spain's trade surplus was astonishing. It could be said that it made a lot of money. However, such a surplus led to serious deflation of the domestic gold and silver coins. When there was not enough money in the market, although the prices of the goods on the street did not change, people found that they had no money to spend.
In other words, a huge "trade surplus" would also cause serious problems for the whole country, and the consequences were much more terrible than the consequences of "inflation."
But now, Roddy had paved the way in advance. Anti-counterfeiting currency printed with Sally the First's face was quickly printed and distributed. The central bank carefully put money into the economic system through infrastructure projects, so that the economic strength of the Kingdom of Karen rapidly improved did not experience the deflation of Spain. The circulation and purchasing power of money in the hands of the people were ensured.
