This Plan Was Pretty Good

A horse ridden flat out could cover fifty kilometers in an hour.

A loaded carriage could cover ten to thirty-five kilometers in an hour.

A Magitech Vehicle could cover one or two hundred kilometers in an hour, depending on road conditions.

An Ultra-High-Speed Rail Train could cover six hundred kilometers in an hour.

Under those circumstances, who could refuse a station in their territory?

These powerful figures knew perfectly well that no one could refuse. At most, they could drive a hard bargain and demand a hefty payment from whoever built the railway.

Their heads were all spinning.

"There's something else you should understand. Once the tracks are built, only one Ultra-High-Speed Rail Train won't be running on them."

Viscount Rost offered a timely reminder. "If necessary, we could even have a train pass every five minutes. That would mean more than a dozen trains passing through a station each hour and over a hundred each day."

"Of course, there's usually no need for such a dense schedule. Demand probably won't reach that level."

His words caused another uproar.

Of course!

Who said only one train could run on a rail transit system? Once the tracks were built, they could schedule as many trains as they liked.

That made the Super Rail Transit System even more convenient than they had imagined—and its value even greater.

Watching their reactions, Viscount Rost continued, "The Ultra-High-Speed Rail Transit System is rather unusual. Barring any surprises, we'll establish an independent company to operate it."

"The company currently has three shareholders. The Rost Territory Group Company holds thirty percent, the Southlands Development Company holds thirty percent, and the Great Dragon
