059 Restoring the Order of the Continent (1)
As Lee Hwan’s fleet was firing shells in a row toward the front, shouts of exclamations that were close to screams poured out from the audience.
“Huh! Nonsense! A ship with such tremendous destructive power attacks with a 360-degree rotating turret?! This is going to be a game changer for war!”
“When the hell did the Dutch royal family do such a terrific thing… … ?!”
Even though only six ships have now been released in Europe, people have no choice but to be astonished.
At this moment, Richard Ben-Herren was smiling softly.
Until now, the East Stellar Company had been steadily building battleships here in Europe, and the geographical nature of Ritterkirk did not even make sense of what they were doing.
Perhaps from today onwards, the Dutch Chosun Guild will be in turmoil, but it was no use now.
‘The preparations to build battleships in North America must have already been completed, so what can you guys do?’
In addition, the battleships that had been dry without rest until now were already crossing the sea and continuing to be sent to North America.
If that fleet were to be pushed down at once, no matter how much British it was, there was nothing they could do.
Willem I smiled happily and asked Ben-Heren.
“It’s great too. Isn’t it?”
“Sir Ritterkirk is the rising star of our Netherlands. If we follow that star, the Dutch Empire I have spoken of will reach its heyday.”
“Fufu, are you really right?”
Perhaps by now, the UK would be making a fuss about buying a ship, and countries like Spain and France would have a lot of trouble with how to deal with the Netherlands.
But this was not the end.
“By the way, if you made a cannon like that, what the hell would a cannon look like?”
“The gun and the power are the same. However, it has the advantage of being easy to maneuver and having a slightly longer range.”
“The range is longer, so I can’t imagine hearing it with only my ears.”
“Soon there will be an artillery parade. Then I will demonstrate the performance to Your Majesty.”
“Fufu, that’s right.”
Now, the Netherlands has risen to the ranks of the most powerful European powers in just a few years.
On their way back, people came to Willem I and Ben-Heren, praising the power of the weapon, and lined up saying that they would like to purchase it soon.
Among them, Britain was the most active and aggressive.
Britain’s defense minister, William Theodore, swore to William I that he would soon come with gold.
“We will set a price that will satisfy you. I have no doubts that we will be the first to sell power ships to the UK.”
“I’d love to, too, but production and sales are all under East Stellar’s business.”
“But if your Majesty gives you a relay, won’t Sir Rietterkirk, a Dutch servant, move directly?”
“Well, you’ll have to ask Sir Ritterkirk when he comes back.”
“Yes, I understand. I hope that our British-Dutch alliance will last forever.”
Now, no one can be perverted in front of the Netherlands.
If a war broke out right away by mistake, it was questionable whether there would be a country capable of defeating the Netherlands.
Even if it’s England under heaven.

After the ceremony, Lee Hwan, who returned to the mainland, was caught by state guests and suffered a lot to receive a torch to sign a contract.
As they talked about how much the ship’s delivery price was and how much premium they could put on it, Lee Hwan’s surroundings were really crowded.
Even the moment he left the venue and got into the wagon.
People reached out through the window of the carriage and said to Lee Hwan.
“You have to sell it to us! Definitely!”
“I will be going to Ritterkirk soon! Please see me!”
It wasn’t very fussy.
Lee Hwan managed to drive his wagon out of the venue and got on the highway straight away without a break.
After suffering for three hours, Lee Hwan was finally able to rest.
“… … Ugh, I almost died.”
“The response has been quite good. At this rate, we will be able to easily exceed the profit we made on the highway.”
The Roses and Morgans were so happy that Lee Hwan made so much money that they were tearing their mouths apart.
That said, as the company grows, the price of the shares they will receive also rises, so how could they not be happy?
I don’t know, maybe by next year they will be the richest people in the Netherlands.
Lee Hwan asked the Rose family.
“By the way, to what extent has the development of automobiles progressed?”
“Now, only commercialization remains. But there is one problem.”
“Is that a problem?”
“As the wheels are made of wood, they wear out quickly. If the wheels corrode and disappear, the vehicle will be left in an accident.”
“Hmm, okay?”
The problem was that the wooden wheels were not very durable and the iron ones were too heavy.
The East Stellar Company, which originally intended to make the car out of wood, switched to iron for safety reasons.
As a result, it was quite heavy, and it was difficult to find a wheel material that could withstand it.
Lee Hwan solved the problem very lightly.
“Let’s make wheels out of rubber.”
“Rubber?”
“They harden rubber to make wheels, and blow air into them to inflate them. Then, wouldn’t it be enough to just change the rubber every time?”
“iced coffee! That’s right!”
“Let’s measure how rubber is produced, replace the wheels with rubber, and change some of the parts to rubber. Then will it be okay?”
“Yes, that’s right! After all, the president is a genius!”
“You’re welcome. From now on, let’s trade directly with rubber producing regions in South America, and in some cases buy real estate in the area altogether.”
“I buy the whole production area! That’s a great way! They say that Colombia’s financial situation is unstable these days, so why not buy the northern part of it?”
“North?”
“Around Lake Panama.”
Lee Hwan slowly nodded his head.
He thought that one day he would have to drill the Panama Canal.
But if you go there and offer to buy land while digging a canal through the Americas, Colombia will of course not want to sell Panama.
The value of the place has already been proven with a purchase offer, but there is no way that they will give up the land.
It was different if it was the production of Hana rubber.
This is because there was a huge difference between the profits from rubber and those from the opening of the Panama Canal.
“like. So let’s try to make contact with Colombia. They say they will make some roads.”
“all right.”
“And bring something called a cinchona tree and send it to the hospital to do some research.”
“A cinchona tree?”
“The country of origin is South America, which is good for malaria. Let’s peel it off so we can make a cure.”

Malaria is still the leading cause of death, and for Europeans who are not resistant to it, it is a deadly disease.
Based on future knowledge, Lee Hwan decided to write down the identity of malaria and the cause of its outbreak in detail and deliver it to the research hospital.

More must be gained from South America in the future, because malaria prevention was essential for that.
When Lee Hwan was in the midst of drawing a blueprint for South America, the Rose family asked Lee Hwan.
“Have you ever thought about marriage?”
“Ah, the question of marriage still remained.”
“We keep talking about marriage in Prussia, so it’s really difficult for us these days. I think the boss has to make up his mind now.”
“Marriage has been said to be the ambassador of Inryunji. In this situation right now, you can’t get married to anyone, right?”
“Wow, what are you talking about?”
“It means that marriage has a lot of meaning in human life.”
“Well, it is. But if you are too fussy about your marriage, you may be entangled in women’s speculation and suffer.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Do not take the jealousy of women too lightly. In particular, the wife and wife of the Golden Child family risked their lives.”
“Are you risking your life?”
“I personally went to Austria and asked Miss Elizabeth to form an alliance with the president. Wouldn’t it be better for East Stella to spread her wings, no matter which one of them gets married? Then Miss Elizabeth said, ‘If you form an alliance and one gets married and the other is abandoned, the abandoned one may have to bite his tongue and commit suicide.’”
I don’t know when the two of them even talked about it, but Lee Hwan’s interest in them was too burdensome.
Still, I couldn’t help it.
You can’t get married just by looking at a woman’s face, and you can’t get married just by looking at money.
“Let’s think about it a little more carefully.”
“All right. But don’t drag it too long. It’s a plan to catch women who are not currently in the Netherlands and enlist them in the royal family.”
“All right. Let’s try to think about it.”
After running and running, Lee Hwan returned to Ritterkirk and decided to go back to work after a few days off at home.
His home is located at the top of the Ritterkirk mansion, which has been remodeled into a room used by the son of the former lord and decorated in a cozy way.
The bricks were rather cold, so the ondol could not handle it unless the radiator was turned on every day, but there was no inconvenience to people living there.
That night when he returned home, while trying to sleep, Lee Hwan suddenly woke up to the sound of Inkigae.
smart.
Lee Hwan, who had just gone to bed, tilted his head and opened the door.
“Who are you… … .”
“hello?”
In front of him stood a brown-haired woman with skin white as white jade and lips as red as cherry blossoms.
Her hair with moderate curly hair was neatly tied and matched with her round and beautiful eyes, and her nose bridge was moderately high and her triangular, slightly protruding lips matched it well.
If I was asked to draw a beautiful woman in a Greek mural, I thought it would look like this.
With her accent, Lee Hwan-eun could guess where she came from.
“My name is Louise from Prussia.”
“okay. I guessed it from the intonation.”
“okay. So, if it’s not disrespectful, can I go inside?”
If the two women Lee Hwan met earlier had their own aggressive side, Louise could be seen as possessing extreme femininity and calm.
I wondered if it would have been like this if the warmth and coziness of a bright spring day had been made in the form of a human being.
‘A beauty is a beauty. Anyway, it’s surprising.’
This is the heart of the East Stella mercenaries with hundreds of guards, how the hell did she get here?
Perhaps someone had brought her here on purpose.
Lee Hwan decided to let her in and talk.
“You must have come a long way, but come in.”
“Thank you.”
