Chereads / Infinite Worlds: Attack on Titan / Chapter 128 - Before the war

Chapter 128 - Before the war

After Takashi returned from Dauper, he started to be busy and hardly rested. After almost a month, everything was on track and there were only a few days left before the battle to take back Mary's Wall.

During this period of time, with the opening of the technological blockade, there are two inventions worth mentioning, the first is the thunder lance.  

A long range explosive that is very powerful and can be used with slightly modified three dimensional maneuvering equipment, largely this invention is aimed at doing damage to the armor of the armored titan. 

Then there is the anti titan guillotine, which Hange Zoe made using as a base the door sealed with Eren's titan hardening. This invention allows people inside the walls to assassinate titans with relative ease without having to fight. 

The guillotine can work non-stop and the titans cannot destroy the sealed door with the enraged glass, so the safety of the bait inside is also guaranteed. 

Not only these two things, after taking out the plans locked in the Central Gendarmerie warehouse, new inventions began to appear one after another.

Crazy technological trees all over the wall, although there are not many changes at the moment, but in the long run, it will eventually affect everyone inside the wall.

Not only some inventions, but after learning about the outside world, the world inside the wall was officially renamed Eldia Kingdom. This name was suggested by Takashi, because the enemies consider them demons and the force inside the walls is now stronger than ever. By the way, they deny any closeness to their ancestors, creating a new era from this moment on. 

Although the way to lead a country is too slow, new changes come slowly so that people can take it easy.

Consequently, the information about the world outside the wall was not told to the public all at once, nor will it be fully announced after the recovery war, but will be announced little by little according to Takashi's proposal, to give everyone some time to accept it. 

And of course, Takashi has also proposed to establish a special award and recognitions for those who make inventions or push forward the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, agriculture among many other fields.

This recognition finally received the name "Hirsta Award", it is selected once a year and the winners will not only receive a substantial sum of money, but will also be received by the Queen, who will personally present them with the Distinguished Citizens Medal. 

This movement has aroused much enthusiasm among academics from all walks of life. For example, several scientists who made the blueprint for the thunder lance were nominated for this year's "Hirsta Chemistry Prize". 

Not only this, but with the help of many relevant personnel, Takashi also introduced several bills for the correct evolution of mankind.

For example, "Three-Year Compulsory Education within the Walls," the government provides more than half of the tuition fees and encourages some people with conditions to send their children to school. 

This movement aims to eliminate illiteracy. The illiteracy rate within the wall is alarmingly high, with over 90% of ordinary people illiterate.

There are also the "Commercial Regulations" and the "Tax Law", which were the first to encourage the development of commerce and proposed the concept of "enterprise", which was highly respected and strongly supported by the Chamber of Commerce. 

The second is to clarify various taxes and establish a special tax department to prevent arbitrary tax collection and tax evasion. In addition, local nobles and rural nobles also have to pay taxes. 

This move caused some waves, but in the end it was pushed through. Marlowe approached Takashi and told him that he wanted to regulate the law enforcement of the Gendarmerie.

Naturally, Nile is very unhappy, but with the support of the Garrison Corps and Survey Corps, a reform of the Gendarmerie looks good to many people.

Many of the previous bills were proposed by Takashi, and relevant professionals were found to improve them, and then they were revised according to the objective conditions inside the wall, then discussed and adjusted in parliament and finally enacted.

It can be said that the various policies and measures not listed above have greatly mobilized people's enthusiasm, and the outlook of people around the world inside the walls has gained new hope for this new government.

These actions of Takashi greatly surprised his friends. Similarly, Supreme Commander Dairus, Commander Pixies, Nile Dok and Commander Erwin also looked sideways with their thoughts stunned.

They are also participants in many of the above bills. Even in their opinion, these are great ideas and are not fantasy. Takashi did these things, especially combined with the specific situation inside the wall, and consulted many people.

"Vigorously develop the productive forces" and "rejuvenate the country through science and education" have been written in the latest edition of textbooks.

Takashi has become completely famous, one of those who have left his name in history, this time it is not just hot news, his name will most likely never be forgotten. 

The Berg newspaper selected the ten most influential figures of the year, and Takashi came in third place. The queen ranked first, and second was Commander Erwin, who presided over the coup. 

At a certain meeting, Supreme Commander Dairus Zackly also made a joke, saying that Takashi was politically very smart and fit to be someone very important.

In the northern part of the Seine Wall, children run around and play on a farm in the former Reiss territory. 

These children came from the subway city, and Historia brought them to the farm, and there was also a suggestion from Captain Levi, after all, Levi was also born in the subway city of the capital.

Of course, the queen is not as free as before, Historia usually handles government affairs for days and comes here to take care of the children in her quiet times 

"Hey, isn't that Captain Takashi, why do you come here to play when you don't have time, aren't you working with someone to improve the laws?", Jean said in surprise while holding a box.  

Grimacing, Takashi said lightly, "I'm done with my work. In the end, I'm just presenting a few ideas and I have to rely on professionals to handle the rest." 

Picking up a box, Takashi walked towards the warehouse, it was all over, and there were still a few days left until the day of the expedition, and everything would come to an end by then.

Historia also saw Takashi and greeted everyone, Takashi and Jean walked over.

"Everyone, be careful, unfortunately, I can't go with you." Although she has become a queen, Historia is still the same in front of her friends.

"Don't worry, we will return triumphant." Eren said firmly.

Everyone nodded, now everything is ready, the route has been figured out by the vanguard and they will depart safely in a few days.

Takashi and Historia exchanged a few words. They had no love for each other, and could not be called lovers. They were just familiar with each other. At this point, it would be a bit extravagant to talk about feelings. Besides, Takashi has a certain relationship with Sasha. 

Since the last time, although Sasha didn't talk about the kiss, she was more careful when Takashi was by her side. Takashi remembered that he lied saying that a squirrel had bitten him in his old house when he returned to Mr. Blouse's farm, Sasha got angry at Takashi comparing her to a squirrel. 

...

Time flies like an arrow, and it is the last night before departure, and the military has prepared a celebratory banquet in advance to celebrate the triumphant return of the Survey Corps.

The dining room was brightly lit and 374 Survey Corps members were dining. The atmosphere was quite lively. Of course, everyone was not overly optimistic.

Now that all the veterans were present, Reiner didn't snatch Eren, and the regimental leader naturally didn't lead anyone to chase him, so he didn't lose many elites. 

He did not lose an arm and was not unconscious for several days due to excessive blood loss. Erwin's preparation time was also much longer.

The soldiers of period 104 have also grown, a total of 374, which is enough. As for the newly joined inexperienced soldiers like Marlowe and so on, they naturally do not need to participate in this battle.

Auruo put a piece of meat in his mouth, "Eat more now, maybe this will be our last meal, hahaha." 

Petra smiled, "We are still alive, luck is on our side, I hope those who live will celebrate for those who are no more." 

Without saying a word, Auruo buried himself in his dinner, and when he was fighting against the Central Gendarmerie, all the members of his squad died, so far he has never led another squad again

"Well, at least we made it this far." Erd Gin said with a smile. His recovery had been quick and now he was ready to participate in this expedition. 

The other table next to him was much more animated, Takashi hugged Sasha and hurriedly shouted, "Sasha, don't be impulsive, if you eat all the meat, everyone will beat you to death."

Sasha, who was being held back by Takashi's grip, swallowed and looked at the plate on the table, "Jean, cut it quickly or we won't eat meat if I let go of Sasha."

"I'm on it, this is too hot!" Jean held a knife and fork, along with Armin to divide the piece of fragrant meat, the two moved quickly.

Eren shook his head. 

After a while, they divided the meat, the veterans watched this scene and no one made sarcastic comments.

On the second day, when Ymir arrived on the scene wearing the uniform of the old Inspection Corps, everything was ready. 

"The titan witch has arrived."
