Chapter 2204:

Speaking of the Eastern Empire, the basic empire is not a very big relationship, but the relationship between them is not very good. In the past, the Eastern Empire itself developed on the sea without the Northern Empire at all? The Northern Empire has always been a land country, but now it’s not the same as before. He sees the huge benefits in the ocean, so they must enter the ocean. This is something that has happened to the Eastern Empire, which already has its own independence on the ocean. The conflict in this place is just like this place. In the past, the Eastern Empire would definitely occupy it, but now it is divided into half for the people of the Northern Empire. On the sea, no one can tell who the things here belong to? There are not some complete laws to follow like the earth. There is no ocean law here. As long as you occupy it, this is yours. You have the ability to take it back from others, and others will not say anything, Cao Isn't that the way the home firm does it?
They didn’t have such a problem before. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to go to war. Now this thing is not that simple. They are not fools. They can see that the war is about to start. It's about to fight. Li Wei is already on the airship. He wants to see how these people fight. The navies of the two empires may all be involved. Although their navies are not very powerful, they are also one. Those who observe the opportunity to learn, can’t say that they’re good at learning, they don’t need to learn anything. This is impossible. Now Li Xun can see that the speed of the Eastern Empire naval ships is faster than The Northern Empire is much faster, and they all have their positions. Pinshu.com (wWW.VoDtw.coM) is far better downwind than upwind, at least the speed and range of the crossbow arrows can be increased a lot.
The war started soon, even faster than Li Wei thought. You can tell from what they look like. They won't let anyone else. These people started their own wars one by one. Li Wei, who is accustomed to modern warfare, still has a lot of interest in this. In an instant, the first wave of warships began to exchange fire. The first group of warships that were hit was the warships that fired crossbow arrows. They were attacking others at the same time. . Oneself will also become the target of others. There is no doubt about this, they all know it clearly, just like now, these people have seen the scene of the crossbow arrow shooting into their warship. The boats are already made of very hard wood. But the best thing called steel purchased from Cao's house is used on the head of the crossbow arrow. This thing is more powerful than some iron tools, and it has to catch up with those weapons used by fifth-tier fighters. The rapid development of this thing makes the wood on the warship no match at all. It is for this reason that they will send a large amount of their iron ore to Cao's house in exchange for such things. Only 500 tons of iron ore can be exchanged for a pound of refined iron. The price is indeed too much. , But there is no way it is not. If you don't change, other empires will definitely do such things. When they are all equipped, what do you have? You don’t have anything. At that time, you really suffered a loss. They all had to do such things. It can be verified on the battlefield that some of the money they spent at the time seemed to be all Yes, although the Eastern Empire is in the upper hand, it seems that the first silent warship may be the ship of the Eastern Empire, because they are too lucky.
How do they have bad luck? Many warships were hit by this thing, but they were all hit above the waterline. Who knew this was actually hit below the waterline. , This is your luck. The water is flooding in the front of the ship. It is impossible for them to bet on such a thing. Although many ships of this era also have such protective measures, The speed at which they get out of the water is absolutely impossible to compare with the speed at which they sneak in. Besides, the position of this ship is the most forward position, and it will definitely become a target of public criticism. Sure enough, they haven’t waited for them to slow down. The attack that came down came again, and many ships over there directly fired at the wounded warship in desperation, and they all understood very well. When you are sick, this is the most fruitful time. , Dozens of crossbow arrows passed through one after another, and some of them directly got the boat through. You can see the situation from here. Some equipment on the boat is basically useless. This At that time, the speed slowed down. In addition to being hit by the catapult, it is even more needless to say at this time. Waiting for silence, one of the Eastern Empire warships came up and was killed. They were very depressed, but They quickly moved this disadvantage back, mainly because they had a large number of crossbow arrows on their ships. If the number occupies a certain advantage, then this advantage will slowly be seen later. You have eight crossbow arrows here. Ships, but there are more than a dozen of them. Although you can't say that one can match the two of you, you can be sure that you definitely don't have the fighting power of others. This is something everyone knows, and it depends on whether you do well.
"It seems that naval battles in this era are really cruel. They have to go over and kill them all, and there may be jump operations at the end." Li Wei looked at the sky and said, what he called jumping operations. The soldiers on this ship rushed to other people’s ships when the ship approached. This kind of combat method has long disappeared on earth, but it is still very popular here. Many people feel that this thing is not so much. It’s the same, but they can’t do anything about it. In the end, they can only accept this. There are also some naval officers in the Eastern Empire on the airship. This is what Li Cong meant. Although many of them They have fought against the navies of several empires, but they didn’t take a close look at how they fought. The truth of knowing oneself and knowing that the enemy will survive a hundred battles is absolutely correct. Just like now, they have to watch them carefully Otherwise, there may be a lot of jokes in the future. Only by understanding them can we do better. Everyone laughed when Li Wei said that. If they use this kind of combat method to fight against Cao's merchants, they will definitely lose. Just now, they have already seen the range of the following war crossbows and catapults, and the farthest is 3000. Around meters, it is impossible to cause harm to them. As for melee? That’s even more impossible. Unless the Cao’s family members have brain problems, otherwise no one is willing to go and play some so-called close combat with you. When they were discussing it, the following was already done. Half an hour of war. There are warships at war everywhere on the sea. They are already close, the commander of the Eastern Empire Navy must be a fool.
The navy of the Eastern Empire is much better than the navy of the Northern Empire, especially their attack power and speed. If they don't engage in close combat, their chances of winning are very high. Who knew that these people turned out to be stupid and rushed up. This is definitely an honor in their navy. The act of walking and beating is simply too embarrassing. They would not do such a thing. Although the navy of Cao’s House of Business is very powerful, in their eyes they don’t think much about the navy of Cao’s House of Business. In their opinion, the navy of Cao’s House of Business does not have any kind. , And even running so fast, why don't you dare to come and fight once? If people who accuse Cao's House of Business heard this kind of accusation, they would definitely not say anything, and would even hide their identity and scold the people of Cao's House of Commerce hard? why? They just have to make them feel that their way of fighting is quite correct. Cao's business is an act of escaping, so that they will despise such things from the bottom of their hearts, so they won't do it, Cao's business. The navy of the Eastern Empire will never do such a thing. If you don’t do it, you will probably suffer. The battle just now looks like the people of the Northern Empire are not so good, but It can be seen when it comes to close combat. The soldiers of the Northern Empire are very powerful in individual combat, and they soon boarded the warships of the Eastern Empire, and the navy of the Eastern Empire learned something in the past. Sailing or something, this kind of close fight against them is not possible, so it is a certain thing to suffer a loss, just like now, they are a little unsupported and a little tired.
Looking at the Northern Empire, it has already successfully captured seven Eastern Empire warships. At this time, they can’t have any slack. You must know that the Eastern Empire’s navy has always been much stronger than them. If the people of the Empire adopted the so-called wandering tactics, the people of the Northern Empire would really have a headache. The warships of the Eastern Empire did not run very fast compared to the warships of the Cao’s Shanghang, and it could be said that it was a turtle speed. Yes, but a big problem is that the warships of the Eastern Empire can’t catch up with the warships of Cao’s Shanghang, but the speed is still very good. It is estimated that you are also very depressed. At this time, the naval commander of the Eastern Empire It can also be seen that if they do not retreat, their navy may really fail. After the loss of dozens of warships, the navy of the Eastern Empire has begun to retreat. Can you leave if you want? If the Northern Empire is willing, some soldiers in our Eastern Empire are unwilling. If we leave now, don’t say it so nicely. It’s called a transfer. This is fleeing and losing the honor of our navy. We are not fools. The result of this is that the navy of the Eastern Empire makes others look down on them in the world. This is absolutely impossible. Some of these soldiers are purely to protect their honor, but there are some The most joyous ones are those who were bought by people from Cao’s house. They all want the war to go on. As for why, we don’t know why, because people from Cao’s house said, this is not. What we need to know is that we only need to know that if we take their money, we will let this matter go on, and we can wait until they want to surrender. This is a sale, a transaction.
The people on the northern empire will not let go of the eastern empire's fleet. You are stronger than us, and your weapons are very good, but the result now is that you are not as good as ours. Although we are not as good as you in anything, We can beat you away. If you have that ability, you might as well try it out for us to see if you have that ability. If you don’t, then you don’t have to continue this day. Every day Taking so much salary and driving such a good boat, it turned out to be such an attitude after going on the battlefield. At this time, the Fleet Commander of the Northern Empire also hesitated. The front is the boundary of the Eastern Empire. If this is chased, they will not be supported. If the people there run into the Eastern Empire’s support fleet, they will end up at a disadvantage. I am still so powerful on other people’s turf, and I will definitely be killed by the people of the Eastern Empire at the end. At that time I have nothing, but I feel very much about giving up these benefits. pity. Although the warships of the Eastern Empire were ready to escape. But their main force basically exists. Let them go back in this way, and we will be a threat in the future. It is better to kill them all at once this time. If so. We can still solve big troubles. Moreover, the dispatch of troops without authorization is not a joke. Conflict and war are also two different concepts, and some people don't worry about this. But some people are thinking about whether there will be themselves in this list." However, at the end of the day, the warships of the Northern Empire made a decision. Just kill them directly. The nearest base of the Eastern Empire is hundreds of miles away. Want to support it? Can't do it.
"It seems that the people of the Northern Empire will not let the people of the Eastern Empire go so easily. Their war is estimated to be over until tomorrow, and our people should also act." Li Wei looked down. The person who started the pursuit said that the failure of the Eastern Empire is certain, but they have also gained a lot. Their failure is mainly caused by the different opinions of the people in the army. Such things are for This is the case for them, they didn’t understand what was going on, so if something happened, these people were also useless. If they could unite earlier, it wouldn’t be like this. Now the Eastern Empire fleet Half of the people inside are unwilling to stay at all. They are all cowards, but the orders given by the fleet commander are only implemented. The rest are the ones who resist orders. Those guys don’t want to do it all. Back, they have to defend the honor of the navy, they have to teach the Navy of the Northern Empire a good lesson, but they are all in a very good mood, but it is a pity that their approach is definitely not successful, because their people are no use. , Their brothers have already started to run, and the remaining people are not as many as those in the Northern Empire. If they continue to fight, they will only be the most depressed in the end, one by one, they will run away. Brothers, I can’t wait to go up and kill them. The Eastern Empire has invested so much in the navy. I didn’t expect it to be like this in the first battle. How can I face those people in the future? But they could also see that if these people didn't run, they might have won the tactics of Cao's Commercial Firm, but it was too late now.
"Master, our people in the capitals of the Eastern Empire and the Northern Empire have already begun lobbying their senior leaders. We have also given a lot of money to the past. After talking about this matter, they actually wanted to vigorously develop themselves. For the navy, this time I estimate that the Eastern Empire will lose hundreds of ships, and the number will have to be about 20,000. Although the people of the Northern Empire will not be lost to this level, they will not be too different. Such a war It’s like this. Killing 10,000 enemies will hurt oneself by 8,000. It is impossible to widen the gap. If both of them start to vigorously develop their navies, their comprehensive national strength will be involved a lot. Some of our shipbuilding. The factory is almost ready. This time we made an export-type Jusha type warship, which is more suitable for them. Our cost is about 45,000 taels per ship, and we can sell them to 30. It’s worth 10,000 silver each. They probably wouldn’t care about the price, because our production is done on the planet rty. There is already mechanized production, and here it’s all produced by hand." There is still a secretary from the earth by his side. If you ask someone from this planet to be a secretary, you can’t tell them many things. This is a bit bad. The secretary is not very familiar with some things, so how can you Know everything so clearly? It is for this reason that Li Yun asked a guy on the earth to be his secretary. This guy turned out to be a front-line civilian officer. He heard that he could serve as a secretary for Li Yun. It was also a fuss for a while, but I saw Some things that Li Yun did in the past have also come, and he may think that Li Yun is a master.
"Hehe, this is a good job. In fact, especially the people of the Eastern Empire, they have already developed very well. The damage we caused to them in the war long ago can be said to have recovered, Linghu The family is really more and more useless now. The royal family of the Eastern Empire is also more united than before. There was no such thing in the past. I did not expect that the Linghu family's rebellion helped them. That emperor was one Talented. At the beginning, he implemented so many policies and we did not stop them. This is our biggest mistake. But now it is not necessary. Now give me some reports about the Eastern Empire Navy, which needs to be more detailed. One thing, the Northern Empire also needs them. Let me analyze them. Of course, I know that the Northern Empire’s war potential is not as good as the Eastern Empire. But we don’t expect this conflict in front of them to fight the entire empire. Basically, there are not many borders on the land, just a province is bordered, but on the edge of the Warcraft Mountains. There are still a lot of Warcraft there, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to go to war there stupidly." Knowing that Li Cong took the initiative to hand over some things to him after he came, this can be regarded as an assessment for him, and it is also teaching him how to do things. Now some of the businesses of Cao's house are basically this kid. Li Cong is now in charge. Of course, Li Cong has his own business. At least for now, this kid is doing very well. Many people feel that their young master can do things well. If it doesn’t work, it’s probably long ago. Someone has stepped up to oppose this kid. Cao's house is like this inside. Although it is not the same as on the earth, it is also much more democratic.
The secretary hurriedly opened the materials he had prepared. The Eastern Empire had its own navy in the past, which can be divided into three fleets, but because of the last war, the Eastern Empire’s navy was basically destroyed. Now their navy is newly established. Although they are all new things, their combat effectiveness is very strong. This is a problem of the underlying foundation. They have developed the ocean for tens of thousands of years. So in this regard, they are doing very well. It took twelve years to form the navy and it took two major fleets, namely the first fleet and the second fleet. The defense zones of these two fleets are It is separated by a big river of the Eastern Empire. The first fleet is responsible for the southern area, while the second fleet is responsible for the northern area. Now fighting is a squadron belonging to the second fleet of the Eastern Empire. Their structure is like this. Yes, the Eastern Empire consisted of ten ships, large and small, organized into a squad. It can be said to be the smallest combat unit. A naval squadron has two squadrons, one squadron has four squadrons, and one squadron has a command post. There are 100 large and small ships, five brigade is one detachment, about 600 search all kinds of ships, five detachments are one squadron, about 4000 warships, at present, there are about 1000 squadrons along the coast of the Eastern Empire. Their ships The total number has reached a staggering 5 million ships, which have been developed in the last twelve years, especially in such a purely hand-crafted age. It is already very good for them to have this ability, at least on earth. During this period, there was no such ability, and there would never be such a large fleet, because the ocean on earth is not as big as here.
Compared with the navy of the Eastern Empire, the navy of the Northern Empire has some serious shortcomings. This is also directly related to the terrain of the Northern Empire. Although they have a large sea area, they are basically not big here. The useful ones are relatively cold. There is an ice-bound forest to the north, which is full of dangers. So most of the army is the army. What do you want the navy to do? We don’t have any rights in the sea, but after the rise of Cao’s firm, they can be regarded as seeing the importance of the navy, but there are not many people who can swim in their country. This is the situation. If they want to form a navy , It’s not so easy. For this reason, the Northern Empire’s navy has developed extremely slowly. The Northern Empire’s investment in the navy has only increased in the last two years. For now, the Northern Empire’s The empire has only one fleet, and the number of their ships is less than 500,000, which is only one-tenth of that of the Eastern Empire. If this is really a naval battle with the people of the Eastern Empire, they really are. There is not much chance of winning, because in terms of numbers, the gap between them is really too far. Of course, it also depends on where the fight is started, if it is on the territory of the Northern Empire. The Eastern Empire is basically of no benefit. The distance is too far. The people of Cao’s House of Business would have to fight a war like that very hard. Not to mention the people of the Eastern Empire. They even transported airships. None of them. They can’t support such a big war. They can only send some expeditionary troops one after another. The people of Cao’s House of Business have calculated it for them. In the end, they will regret the double reverse. This thing.
Seven hours later, the war was basically over. The warships of the Eastern Empire over there had gone. It was not the opponent of the remaining Beidi ships. They captured 32 ships, sank 80 ships, and fled back about 50 ships. The Northern Empire also counted more than 70 ships. Anyway. From now on, the place Lihu belonged to the Northern Empire, and the Eastern Empire had stocked a lot of war materials on it, but now there is nothing left. The people of the Northern Empire had won a great victory, but after the war, there was still another problem. The people in the navy could not find the people that the governor was looking for. But now the governor doesn’t need this thing anymore. There is no need for those talents, because he has won a big victory now. Although it was not his fought, it has a lot to do with him. It can be said that he did it by himself, and the high-level people in the Northern Empire did not expect it. Their navy will defeat the navy of the Eastern Empire. If the Northern Empire has contact with the Eastern Empire on the ground, it is estimated that the governor will be culled immediately. They are not the opponents of the Eastern Empire. Back then The three empires plus a Cao family firm can stop the people of the Eastern Empire. Now they rely on their own ability? Don't be kidding, such a thing is absolutely impossible, but now there is no territory, war at sea? It doesn't matter, it takes several months to get from us to the Eastern Empire. What do you think you can do to us in these few months? We won't be afraid of you either. Because of this kind of thing, the senior management started to praise this guy. He knew that he would definitely be promoted, but there was another problem that the people of the Northern Empire began to attach importance to the navy.
The battle report was also quickly sent to the East Empire. In the past, the East Empire was the boss. The Northern Empire could be said to be the most useless one. I really didn’t expect to ride on the boss’s head now. Turning to you, they knew that the Cao’s House of Business conducted their own investigations on the armies of the major empires. They immediately sent people to contact with the people of Cao’s House of Business, hoping to get some specific information from the Northern Imperial Navy. News. Cao’s trading firm has done this kind of news many times, but basically they do business that is beneficial to them. This will help you get some news and make yourself a lot of profits. Things must be done. The people in the Eastern Empire are still very sensible, and they didn’t call out what to do with them, nor did they say what to do with the Northern Empire. This is how Li Cong admires the Eastern Empire. For these people, these guys won’t go crazy even if they have suffered a huge loss. Such people make Li Cong feel that it’s good to cooperate with them, but they should meet their requirements now, Li Cong directly asks them Given this news to them, the people of the Eastern Empire did not take the next step. This made the people of Cao's House of Business feel a little strange. Recently, the Eastern Empire merchants in the Northern Empire were always robbed and killed. Yes, they have already raised this issue with the people of the Northern Empire several times, but the official power of the Northern Empire is not very strong at all. It is still a bit difficult to ask them to do this, so it can only be I endured it. I didn't expect that such a relatively large-scale conflict would have occurred. This was something that neither of the two sides had thought of. It seemed that this was not restrained.
Li Cong didn’t say anything after knowing that the Eastern Empire did nothing. The people of the Eastern Empire are not fools. He has already received the news. The navy of the Eastern Empire hopes to have a fight with the Northern Empire because they know for sure. It was victorious, but the Hubu Shangshu of the Eastern Empire can say that if you go to war on other people’s territory, the probability of victory is very slim. If you don’t say anything else, just say that the war of Cao’s house in the Western Empire It's okay. I don't know how many times the transportation capacity of Caojia Commercial Bank is stronger than ours, but what can we do in the end? Did we get anything? There was nothing at all. At the end of the day, the people from the Cao's House of Business had also left. Although the shock to the Western Empire was relatively large, there were not many results. No one will be happy about this kind of thing. We can't learn it from them. The people at Cao's firm didn't expect that some of the things they did would be regarded as negative examples. Li didn't bother to take care of it anyway. As long as it is your little hostile opponents, what Li Cong has to do now is the traffic planning in the occupied area. Li Cong looked at it from the inside out after this period of time, and his occupied area is already There are 135 provinces, but the traffic problems within these more than 100 provinces are really terrible, and this has affected a lot of things. So road building is now what Li Cong must do. It’s something that the entire Cao’s house must do. Now let’s see how the road should be repaired. Obviously it is not very realistic to make cement from the earth, but if you make cement from here, will there be too much? What about the vibration? But after thinking about it for a while. Li Cong decided to produce locally.
Because the whole plan requires too much cement. If this is all transported and produced on earth. This may open up all the mountains on the earth. After all, the area of ​​this planet is many times that of the earth, and the roads built here are also many times that of the earth. What we need to do now is to build a cement factory here. There is not much technology in cement. First, Li Cong asked the earth to transport a cement production equipment from the transmission array, and then this batch was from the earth. 3000 people have come, among them there are 100 cement workers. The people sent here on earth are basically elites in various industries. It can be said that such ordinary workers are rarely They are also very willing to come here to take a look, but there is one thing that is, when you are here, it is more difficult to go back because the technical reasons have not been resolved, but they can only ship some dead things back. Basically, those who are alive have never been back, but these people seem to like this place very much. There is not much technical content in using cement to pave roads, but there are more people in need. Now, Li Cong is mainly building roads in the hundred and ten provinces in the southern part of the Southern Empire. The most important one is to build roads along the border. If there is a real war, they can get in touch quickly. When I got up, this road is 40,000 kilometers long. This is definitely a terrible figure. According to Li Cong’s request, the road is all trimmed 15 meters wide. In fact, this is not very wide. Highways should be like this. It is best to start construction at about 50 kilometers from the border. The original reasoning can be connected in series.
The material problem can basically be solved within a month. Another thing to be solved is the human reason. The Vietnamese people have already assembled, and they are the main force in road construction. These guys have none of them. I thought that someone would give them wages. According to the truth, they are all slaves. There is no need to pay them. As long as they are allowed to eat and not starve to death, Li Cong is not such a person. People like people’s minds are doing well by themselves. Li Cong has already asked them to start the first phase of work. Although there is no cement yet, they can also level the road. In addition to the 20 million yuan In addition to the tribe, Li Cong also found a lot of local laborers. These people were sent to the cement factory to do things. Although everything there will surprise them, the most important thing is to keep them from seeing After seeing the cement, the insiders of Cao’s Commercial Bank even wanted to trim a city wall in the border area. Isn’t this another Chang city? Such a thing would definitely not be agreed immediately. With such a thing, your heart will be sealed. As long as there is no such thing, you can say that your own army will be strong. It is better to spend so much money on pruning such a thing. It’s not a trivial matter to build a strong army. Road construction is not a trivial matter. Li Cong let Gu Xinlai take full responsibility. It can be said that the money invested is also huge. It is estimated that it will take three years for 30 million people to do it. The construction of the 40,000 km road was completed, and they were very clear about such things, and they did not happen overnight.
This project also requires a huge investment. For now, these 30 million workers are paid 100 penalties a day, and they have to take care of their three meals. Li can never give them the same in the army. The treatment is just to feed them enough. In this way, it costs 20 cents a day, and a worker costs 120 cents a day. There are 3.6 taels a month, which is more than 100 million silver. The annual construction period is definitely not a small number. For things like cement, just find a mountain to mine ~EbookFREE.me~ Lu Li has roughly estimated that hundreds of millions of tons of cement are needed. It’s not easy to get water in places where it’s not easy to get water. Besides, these workers are just beginning to come into contact with such things. It is inevitable that there will be some problems, that is, because of these problems, the last These guys may have a lot of problems, and maybe they still need to rework. This kind of thing may happen. These people are very aware of this matter, they are very clear, and these people can't help it. They are all slaves. In the past, they could hardly know anything. They can only learn a little bit. However, Li Cong still has plans, and road construction cannot be completed in a day. Instead, the cement factory chose There are about ten places. In the future, civilian cement can also continue to be produced, but at that time those people don’t know if they can make it all right. The Yue people are very grateful to Li Cong’s and Li. Since then, they have their own ideas. The Yue people can mix here. In the future, more Yue people will come. By then, they will be the home of the Yue people. They will all like this place very much. In the future, if you buy some Vietnamese people from outside, they will not have that much resistance. Of course, you can't keep them as slaves. Li Cong also said that after ten years of work, they can become free Human, this is something that is not available on the entire continent. These people are very happy one by one. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing. If you haven't been a slave for a while, you can not be a slave. This is the first thing here. I encountered such a thing once, and it was very good. (To be continued...)
