I, transformed into a vampire girl, sparked the Industrial Revolution.

Chapter 254 Intentional Indulgence

"A worker riot recently occurred in the Port of Carlo, Brittany. It is understood that the riot was caused by a significant reduction in workers' wages and benefits due to the Port of Carlo's planned cost-cutting and efficiency-enhancing measures. The Port of Carlo has not yet responded to this matter."

"Hello, officer. It is understood that the police force has exercised full restraint in the incident in Port Carroll. It is said that you have been under tremendous pressure. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Miss reporter, the only thing I can tell you is that the police force is actively handling this incident. Our elite officers in the RCMP have maintained, or will continue to maintain, restraint and professionalism in this incident. Please rest assured that the Port Carroll RCMP will handle this incident properly."

The television broadcast a clear program: the fleet from Amelansi brought not only supplies but also their culture and the "Civilization Spreading Project." This project involved laying wired transmission cables for information transmission at low cost within the signatory countries. The project was undertaken by the Amelansi National Communications Group, whose subsidiary, the "Information Communicator" ocean cable laying vessel, completed the cable laying work from Amelansi to Xinxiang, Britannia, Sicily, Atlantis, Corsica, Burnia, and finally to the port of Naples.

Today marks the moment when the hastily constructed Naples-Sea Cable comes into play. The submarine cable brings electrical signals from afar, and the erected signal towers cover the entire Naples-Sea, allowing television and radio programs broadcast across the sea to reach all of Naples.

Breton companies, having heard the news, immediately flooded into Naples, dumping electronic products from Breton at low prices. This was a result of the new leadership of the Breton Council, which was now under the control of the CEO of Soni Company. Council leader Sheng Tian Zhao Fu declared that they would turn their attention to magic-conductive electronic products and build a future electronics manufacturing empire composed of magic crystals and silicon crystals amidst the neon lights of Breton.

No one knows where this elf from the East will take Brittany, but it is clear that more and more small and micro enterprises are springing up like mushrooms after rain. The vast majority of these enterprises are heading towards the emerging transistor technology, a new type of electronic component developed by the American Institute of Technology and NASA for flight control systems, which is sweeping the entire electronics manufacturing industry.

Now, in faraway Naples, the growing capitalism has dumped its cheap products, both cutting-edge and inexpensive, into the market.

“Miss President, regarding the matter of Brittany, I think…”

"No, don't worry about it. Brittany is not our focus, nor is it the transit port that the International Brigades are currently relying on. The contract signed between Amelansi and the Corsican government has begun to take effect, and it is necessary for both them and us."

Alice deliberately indulged herself, analyzing the Breton workers' strike in her mind. In any case, at least the Breton media was still faithfully reporting on the strike, a power they could exploit, which was why the police were still confronting the workers.

The longer the standoff lasts, the greater the company's losses will be. It won't take long; a week is enough to force the company to compromise and make concessions.

In this way, the workers will realize their own power, and at the very least, the workers' movement will continue to develop and become a powerful force in the future.

Alice shook her head; these things were still too far off. She turned her gaze northward. The battleship "President Alice" had successfully broken the church's offensive with its shelling. The International Brigades Volunteer Brigade had made some progress, but they had gained a foothold, and volunteers were continuously joining. What could be called a battalion a few months ago was now a brigade.

Alice privately contacted some members of the International Brigades, who were more radical and revolutionary. Compared to the saints, many of these young people in the International Brigades harbored an ideal, an ideal called the proletariat.

The revolution of the saints is conservative. Although such a revolution is easy to gain a foothold and can be considered a kind of progress, in the face of more progressive forces, they can only be called conservative revolutionaries.

Personally speaking, I definitely prefer the International Brigades, but the problem is... tsk, their local base isn't very solid. Although the Saints' Revolution is conservative, it's the most likely to succeed given the current situation, hmm...

Alice thought to herself, and then she clicked her tongue softly.

Well, the two factions can unite now, but if they still exist on the Roman peninsula, then civil war is inevitable. Hmm... If we support the International Brigades, the first thing we need to do is secretly let them develop the local population.

Alice pondered, looking south. The armored spearhead of the 1st Marine Brigade in Amerlane was about to reach Salerno, and south of Salerno, there were many more cities.

Perhaps this is feasible? Isn't the saints' main goal to capture the Holy City? Then let's do as they wish and hand over the South to the International Brigades for management?

Alice thought that the cities in the south were not well-developed cities. Apart from Lecce, Crotone, and Polycorro, there were no cities in the true sense. Saints would naturally not think about these cities. The International Brigades, under the pretext of "helping the Roman People's Army to recapture the southern cities and temporarily take control," armed and occupied those cities, and then sent in revolutionaries from the League of Visionaries or the League of Proletarian Communities to carry out land reforms.

Alice wanted to create a fait accompli of armed separatism on the Roman peninsula.

Whether it was the Roman peninsula, Brittany, or Amelia, the New World, or any other country, she wanted to sow the seeds of revolution.

"Your Excellency Saint, the Roman People's Army doesn't have many troops, and as you see, you don't have many men under your command either. I have a suggestion."

Alice found the Saint, who naturally had little suspicion of this vampire, her former follower.

"Reorganize your troops and transfer them back to the International Brigades to the south. Your troops and the main force will then attack the Holy City."

The saint paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up with excitement. Sure enough, he welcomed Alice's suggestion wholeheartedly; he never imagined that the person he once followed was plotting against him.

But Alice didn't care about any of that; all she cared about was making the fire burn brighter.

For the saints, attacking the Holy City, even without eliminating the powerful bishops of the local dioceses, is still a huge victory. The Papacy will disintegrate to some extent, and Alice's attitude indicates that she and the powerful industrial nation behind her will fully support him.

Alice certainly supported the Saints' invasion of the Holy City, so that the Saints' main forces would turn their attention to the north, while the south, through secret channels, would help the radical progressives of the International Brigades to transform.

Although the saints will control the remaining major industrial power of the Papacy, this will not deter determined revolutionaries.
