Chapter 2178:

Regarding their arrival, some people in the Third Army still want to know their behavior, but
Thinking of the current war situation, don’t make useless things. In yesterday’s war, the Third Army
Everything we did was already manifested. Although I told people from the Western Empire that it was bombed by mistake, the Western Empire
The people over there can’t do anything about it. The Third Army has already handed over fifty people to go out, and these fifty people did it.
Fifty people naturally have no good fruits. Basically, they were beheaded by people from the Western Empire. These are not the third episode.
The members of the regiment, Li Cong will never allow his own people to be killed for other so-called political benefits.
Things are absolutely forbidden. These people are all condemned prisoners who bought five hundred taels of silver from the Northern Empire.
, They all cooperated one by one. They were already dying. Now except for the Northern Empire government,
People like myself can leave 200 taels of silver to the family one by one, which is already pretty good, don’t worry about your previous times
What have been done? At this time, the people in my own family are still concerned. Such things are also very important for them.
Well, since they have already handed over the people, the people of the Western Empire can't help but persevere.
, Their people have nothing to lose. The place where the artillery bombards is the front position they want to attack. These people
All of them were very calm. This attack is not only for the people of the Western Empire, but also for the people of the Southern Empire.
Yes, no one thought that there would be such a good situation. They all understood one by one. At this time
To say that everything else is nonsense, and only these weapons in his hand are the most important.
Although the enemy of the Northern Empire is missing from the frontal battlefield, the corresponding tens of millions of troops over there have also begun to retreat.
After all, a lot of benefits have been obtained, and if it is still the same as before, this thing is not like that. they
They will also have their own ideas. However, the Western Empire did not show any signs of retreat. They turned out to be from the rear.
A large number of troops were transported this time, the number is as many as 30 million. Now the front line of the Western Empire has more than two troops.
Billion people. This is no longer an advantage. It seems that we need reinforcements from the headquarters. But Cao’s House
It does have its own difficulties. The first one is that it is a bit far from the base camp of Cao’s House of Business, and it spans the entire south.
empire. It will take several months for the airship over there to come over, and it’s a bit unclear to continue to transport a large number of soldiers.
Actually, some bombing things were not very effective for the Western Empire, so this plan was painful to the Western Empire.
In the end, the plan fell on the navy’s head. Since neither side declared war, they could not directly attack the Western Empire.
Some targets inside attacked, and none of them were fools. This would give people a word of truth, and it would also make the Northern Empire follow
If the Eastern Empire felt the great threat of Cao’s House of Business, they might all unite. The Cao’s House of Commerce defeated last time.
It’s the Southern Empire. If the Western Empire is defeated again this time, things will never be the same as they thought.
It will definitely be Cao’s own firm that suffers losses. Such a thing must never happen, not just the great emperors.
The people in China understand that even the people in Cao’s house also understand very well, so they choose the target of the Western Empire.
Merchant ships, the Western Empire only started shipping in the last two years, but the maritime industry was not very developed.
In the past, the ships of the Western Empire used to run inland rivers because their court did not allow them to go to sea. This is their
The country’s closed-door policy, each of them feels that they have everything on their own territory and they don’t need to follow
What the outsiders do for transactions will cause some criminals to run out. In that case, if they establish a country overseas, they will
Attract some ordinary people in their own country to go to them. If such things cannot be managed effectively,
It may have shaken Ben, but when the people from Cao’s house came here, things seemed to have changed. Among them
Many of you have seen the advantages of shipping, especially if you want to go to the Eastern Empire on land, it will take more than ten years.
Time, this is impossible for an ordinary person, but it only takes half the time at sea.
So, of course, this time is also a lot of time. Even if it is a huge profit to transport some goods there, this time
Sometimes they can’t afford to waste it, but they still have no problem starting their own shipping in the surrounding areas.
It is also very good for them. They understand this very well, so they all start to develop their weekly
The sea has been around, and these things have been done very well, at least the transportation within a few hundred miles around has begun to use sea.
, But because their navigation capabilities are too small for boats or anything, they are very good one by one.
Depressed, this kind of thing is not something they can do, but in the past few years, the Cao’s retired ship came out.
In the future, their freight volume began to increase. In the end, they did a very good job. These people are now
Every one of them now regards themselves as maritime merchants. Since this is the case, we are not polite to you.
In fact, don’t look at their small scale, but their role in a short period of time is also very good. This is for the Western Empire
In terms of taxation, they did not have this income before, because the emperor of the Western Empire
Shi felt that it was easy for these people to get their money, so a heavy tax of 25% was imposed on them. These people one
All of them feel very depressed, because they are not long-distance runners, they are basically short-distance and so on, and the profits are absolutely absolute.
For those that are not that big, it is only 50% at most, but the better one is stable, and they
They all ran near the sea, and they didn’t encounter any danger at all, so they started to do it one by one.
For this matter, the Western Empire was happy that they did it. Save space for transportation on land. I can also make my own taxes
There is a lot more, this kind of thing is very satisfactory to anyone, and many people in the Western Empire are very satisfied.
For this matter, there are at least a few hundred ships in a county along the coast of the Western Empire. They gave the Western Empire a year
Can bring hundreds of thousands of silver in taxes. There are so many in a county. You know that there are thousands of coastal counties in the Western Empire
, Billions of dollars will be added every year, and they feel it too. This will cause some unemployed people on the shore
It’s very good to solve some of the local security situation. At the beginning, the Western Empire
The government didn’t support it very much, but it definitely didn’t hinder you. However, after the Western Empire government saw profit, they
They changed their views. They quickly completed these things. They hoped that these things could make the West
The imperial government increased its income, and over time, each of these maritime merchants became more powerful.
It is because they are so powerful that what happened in the past few days can be seen by the Western Empire government. First of all, there is that
So a dozen boats reported in their county town that they were robbed by some people at sea, there were not many at the time
People realize that this matter is organized, although they have all heard that the navy of the Cao’s House of
Do this, but more people choose not to believe this, because they can all feel that it should be
It’s not the Cao’s people who did it, so they judged it to be a normal piracy, but when they felt something was wrong
When the situation is wrong, the scope has been expanded unlimitedly. First of all, the number of robberies has increased.
There were only a dozen ships at the time, but a few hours later, almost all the ships passing through the open sea were robbed and robbed him.
Our ships have no concealment at all. They are all Cao’s navy. Their artillery is nothing at sea.
The enemy’s, let’s talk about it, this speed on your side is not someone else’s opponent.
Just catch up. Faced with people’s guns, you have only two choices, or you can quickly stop the boat and let people get on.
Come on, this is the success of the robbery, or you can speed up your ship to the fastest speed. In the end, they
The artillery talks about volleys, and people like themselves can go to the sea to feed fish. These things are absolutely possible.
, I don’t have much choice for myself, so I can only do these things honestly. I don’t know otherwise.
How they should choose, there is nothing valuable on their ship. For the navy of Cao’s
In terms of robbery, they are all a little bit it. In fact, the things on these ships have no effect, and there is nothing at all.
Useful, if you have silver and gold, you can go up once, but they don’t have that on them.
These things are all things, but the important thing is to create an illusion for them, not to rob them.
The people in the Western Empire didn’t expect that the Cao’s house would do such a thing. Didn’t they say everything before?
, The people of Cao’s house should be able to do some more powerful things, even if they hit the land, they will definitely be better than doing
This kind of thing is much better. I really don’t know what they are thinking about in their minds.
It feels incredible, so at this time the navy of the Western Empire went out. The navy of the Western Empire was already a group
It has been about three or two years since they were built, and it took a huge price to build the current three navies.
The land was not far from here, and their eighteen 500-ton ships were ready immediately. Go to all
See what happened in the region, some of them have also learned some things done by the navy of Cao’s house, so he
Our wooden boats are also equipped with some long-range assault weapons, and this boat also has its own ship number.
Yes, although they don’t think that they are much stronger than Cao’s navy, they are none of them.
It is often understood that what they are going to do this time is not to fight against the navy of Cao’s house.
The people in the country are the same, just want the navy of Cao's house to know their existence, that's it. As long as you know him
They all exist on it. As for the rest, you don’t need so much. Speaking of which, their request is also true.
It's low enough, other people don't say anything, and they don't care about the shame. We did it anyway.
There are approximately 150 people on these 500-ton ships. There are about 50 people in the posture boat. The remaining 100 people are all
In the battle, half of them need to control a dozen crossbows on the ship, and the rest are waiting to approach.
It was time to rush up to give the enemy a "dead blow". Of course, this is what they said, can it get to others?
Put it on, only they know about it. Sometimes these things are not so easy, but people
We have already done this, and we don’t care about the future. Such a 500-ton ship is their navy.
It’s a Big Mac in China. It’s a good thing to be able to make something like this in the ranks of wooden boats.
Although compared with the ships of Cao’s firm, there are still big shortcomings, but no matter how many people have them
Own sea weapon, the maximum range of the crossbow has been increased to 800 meters, but his cost has also increased
Many of them are made with the ribs of monsters. This kind of thing is more flexible. The cost of each crossbow
It’s more than 50,000 taels of silver. It’s impossible to make this whole ship without 300,000 silver.
Some of the bad costs, 400,000 taels of silver for a warship, this is already the lowest budget, and now the Western Empire just sends
A small fleet of more than a dozen ships went over and took a look. They didn’t even think about actually confronting the people from Cao’s house.
Because they are very clear, if they really match up, the final result is likely to be their entire army destroyed.
, In this vast sea, it’s better to be more careful, otherwise it is very likely that you will die without burial.
Well, even if you are feeding fish, you have to find a place with better Feng Shui, right? They were so scared to death when they went out.
The people of the Western Empire came out of the navy, something that Cao’s firm did not expect. In their opinion, the Western Empire should
I’m afraid I’m going to die. Why would I get the navy out? At this time, I checked the number of navies here.
I think that the navy of the Western Empire must be destroyed by them, otherwise this matter will not be easy to handle.
, It is very likely that the Western Empire’s navy will cause them a lot of trouble. In view of this, they want the fleet to take the Western Empire’s
Let the navy get rid of it and let them do it first. We can’t be the side who does it first. This will teach the Western Empire a lesson.
Since those strategies are not effective, it’s better to use the immediate one. I believe the immediate pain is still
Can bring some effects to the people of the Western Empire, let them all know their own role, in the end he
We are all honest and won’t do too much things. This is a very good thing.
If these people haven't figured it out yet, the next step is really not easy to handle. Is it really going to fight the Western Empire?
That is absolutely impossible. Li Cong felt that these people in the Western Empire were the same as those in the Southern Empire.
So, there is no need to fight with the people of the Western Empire because of the Southern Empire. In that case, you might end up in yourself
The foreigners are not human. Such small-scale battles are also useful. Just look at the naval combat effectiveness of the Western Empire.
How much is there, will it be the same as those in the Eastern Empire? If this is the case, they need to be stopped. Can't
Let them all develop the navy. The continent is yours, but the ocean is ours. This is what Li Cong said.
If this is the case, the people below also remember it very clearly, and it must not be wrong.
The navy of the Western Empire was just established. Although the people above saw the great use of the navy, the people in the army were also
They don't want to give too much power to the people in the navy, so they are still called naval officers, and they belong to the local admiral's administration. This
Although the navy also has its own admiral's office. But there are not many people below, the Western Empire spent so much money to build
The rising navy also needs to arrange some very powerful people, so many more official posts, if this is not given to them
Some places. It is estimated that the big families in the capital are also uncomfortable. These officials are not very high. but
Is there no problem when there is a transition, but this yamen has been a little bad since its establishment, because the above
Many of the people have come to the country here. He did not consider himself a member of the navy at all. When the fleet set off
When there are any weapons on it, everyone is already in the hands of Cao's firm, the intelligence department of Cao's firm
The door only spent less than 500,000 taels of silver to know everything about this fleet that was worth more than 10 million taels of silver.
, Even if they know their routes clearly, the people at Cao’s house also feel very strange, why?
There will be something like this happening right now, and they all feel very strange, because in their opinion the navy
The routes should be changed according to circumstances after going out to sea, but they turned out to be fixed and they were not allowed to leave the route.
I understand, some of the equipment on their ship is a bit outdated. If they go out and change the route casually, I guess they
You may not be able to go back. In the past, many ships did this, but in the end they were lost.
Some of them can't come back directly on the sea. There have been many such things, and it is really speechless.
The airships of the Cao’s Commercial Bank quickly spotted them on their route, and the staff above immediately began to calculate.
However, they discovered that if the fleet of Cao’s House does not move, it would take several days to ambush them according to the original plan.
In time, it’s a terrible thing for anyone to wait like this. Their boat is too far away.
Slow, this speed is not very fast on land, if it’s at sea, it’s really about the same as a snail
I observed them from the sky for two hours and found that their distance is basically the same as when they were first discovered
, I thought I could follow them slowly, who knew that these people actually made the airship after they discovered the Cao’s firm.
One thing that surprised them very much, they turned out to be returning home... They haven’t encountered any danger yet, they just saw
With the other party’s tea airship, these people will really return to the voyage. Anyway, they estimate that they can have their own reasons after returning.
Yes, this time everything about us has been known by the Cao’s firm. The battle plan has already been leaked. If this continues
In the past, it will definitely be a living target for the people of Cao’s house. The things they expected are actually correct.
Yes, but their motivation is really not good. What these people think is that they can’t let themselves die here
, And if you go back now, you have a reason. There is no need to throw yourself in this sea and become Cao’s fleet.
When I received the news, I was dumbfounded. Your own merchant ships went back one by one and said that you were robbed. You come out.
Let’s see what’s going on. When we saw our investigating airship, we ran back. I really don’t know what to say about you.
How could such a thing happen? If things like this continue to happen, it would simply be...
Since this is the case, the people at Cao’s Commercial Bank can only do things their own way. You are not coming out anymore, we think
If you are looking for things, you can only start looking for things on some of your islands. The Western Empire used to deal with these overseas
The island doesn't care much at all, in their opinion. There are no people on these islands, and they are all yellow
Lin’s, no one wants to come to this place, their people feel that even if they take it back, they don’t have any
Because of their official idea, these islands don’t have any good opinions among the people.
Later, these places turned out to be unmanned places. Recently, the Navy of the Western Empire came out, plus
The overseas islands of the Southern Empire were occupied by the Cao's merchants, allowing them to constantly harass the Southern Empire coastline. This
It made them feel that the islands of knights are useful. Although not many, but they have to be
Occupied, there were still many uninhabited islands when the navigation industry on the earth was relatively developed. Not even more
Say this time. These boats are really slow at this time. If you let them send foster care to these islands regularly
If so, it is estimated that the people here have starved to death several times, so the Western Empire just chose some more important islands
Sent his own army. What Cao’s house of business has to do is to start to occupy all these islands and let the people of the Western Empire
I feel the strength of the Cao’s commercial navy and let them know what they will do on the border with the southern empire. Otherwise,
I’ll show you a little bit of color. This is no way. The people at Cao’s firm don’t want to start a war, but now
There is no extra way, it is that these Western Empire people have no sense of challenge.
Looking at the front line battlefield here, the sea side is trying to find things, the Third Army here is not so bold.
Hey, now the hundreds of millions of troops in the Western Empire have arrived. Although three of the four commanding heights are in their own hands,
People’s army base is really too strong. Two days have passed. In these two days, the Western Empire’s army
After two or three harassment by the team, the two counties in the border area of ​​the Southern Empire have already retreated all their civilians.
, I used to live in areas like the border, and I could exchange things with each other, which definitely made a lot of money, but
But now that they have encountered a war, they don’t have such a good life. Many people only get a house for themselves in their entire lives.
Son, now I have to throw my house away. This kind of thing makes them want to cry without tears. This is also nothing.
According to the law, everyone knows that if this war begins, the domestic army will not be the opponent of others, and then the Western Empire
People who occupy here, they will all become slaves. They are all free people now.
If you become a slave, you will be pulled into the Western Empire and sold to others. People can do whatever they want.
Yes, my own life is really miserable, such a thing is very terrible for anyone
Things, but if you don’t do that, you won’t get any good results, so I reluctantly lost my home
The house is there. Anyway, it won’t be gone. Maybe after I leave here, I will find a better place.
Fang allows himself to live a good life, everything is hard to say, and everything will be better then
Maybe, everything depends on your luck, these things are difficult to determine.
The frontline general of the Western Empire, General Mulun, can be said to be a new militant faction in the Western Empire.
There is no family in the empire, and the most powerful force in the army is from the Tuoba family. In the Tona family, it was given by the people of the Western Empire.
After the roots were uprooted, the forces of the Western Empire began to fall apart. Up to now, there are three or four internal forces.
Everyone has already taken the position of a general. The marshal can only have two or three in an empire, and the emperor of the Western Empire doesn’t know.
What does Dao think is that he hopes these great generals will work hard for the empire. As for the marshal, it won’t give
Yours, people felt weird at the beginning, but no one felt weird anymore.
The matter for the Tuoba family was remembered again. Back then, it was because the Tuoba family occupied both
A marshal, that's why the Tuoba family has become so powerful. Now I won't give you the position of marshal. what about you? Also
It won’t develop so fast. As long as you can’t develop, things will be easier to talk about in the future.
Just like now, you may all be honest, and everything in the future will be able to let you understand one by one, no
After this time, the emperors of the Western Empire were relieved. In the past, they thought that the Western Empire would not let these people continue.
I got a marshal here, but the emperor said that as long as it can lay down the ten provinces of the Southern Empire. He is in the army
The new marshal. This kind of thing directly itched the great generals of the Western Empire.
You’re a soldier, don’t want to be a marshal? What's the joke? It was because of the Tuoba family members. He is gone now
We stand in front of ourselves. All things are their own business. Look at your own performance.
I don’t know who leaked the news. After the Western Empire’s navy went to sea, the airship of Cao’s Commercial Bank was discovered.
The turning around is known to many people, especially the people of the Northern Empire. Because of Cao’s
The bomb offensive caused the people of the Northern Empire to retreat. It really lost their face. At this moment, they all woke up.
Everyone knows what to say at this time. The senior officials of the Northern Empire have begun to taunt the Western Empire’s navy.
How come the fleet that has been built with hundreds of billions of dollars dared not have a real decisive battle with the fleet of Cao’s firm.
You robbed your merchant ship. You still don’t say a word like this. I really don’t know how your days are going.
Yes, in fact, if these words were all said by outsiders, everyone can pass it well, but the problem lies
Here, most of these words were spoken by people within them, and these words were preached by people within the Western Empire.
, Otherwise, how could the people of the Northern Empire know so much detail? The people who spread it out are the people of the army, their
The funding has been reduced a lot because of the large-scale naval operation. This is also true for the Western Empire.
Very helpless, this dispute also exists within Cao’s house. It is absolutely impossible to avoid such disputes.
For the impossible, because the land and the sea use a sum of money, if the navy uses it, the army will definitely not have much.
If they don’t use the money, that’s good, but everyone wants to expand, especially the navy, which is just one
For those who eat money, one of their boats can make Lu Juan do a lot of things. If you come out, it will really give the country
It's okay to add glory. The bad thing is that you didn't do anything and you lost such a big person.
The things on the front line are all decided by General Mulun. This guy also knows some of the outside forms, but this guy chose to ignore the news. If he really listens to the news, his marshal may not have it. Now, he knew that this was an absolutely good opportunity. The empire stipulated that only those who opened up territory to the empire could obtain the title of the empire. He just inherited a viscount. Among the generals of the empire, his title is really not very good. Yes, so he needs to work harder. Now he knows what his goal is. As long as he can take down the land of the Southern Empire, he can talk about everything. Sometimes such things are also very important. Yes, many people can understand his current mood, but it is the army of Cao’s firm that stands in front of them. If this is really fought, it will be difficult to explain in the future, thinking of his position as a marshal, plus The dog-headed sergeant who went to him also told him that this is going to be outside, and the king’s fate is not affected. Everyone knows this. So he must do this thing well, and he must do it, if he can’t. If it’s good, I’m really sorry. For this reason, this guy decided to take the risk. He is going to kill all Cao’s merchants’ army. If you go straight over it, the Southern Empire’s army is nothing. Yes, one of the conditions for this is to be fast. His people are not fools. As long as they can destroy Cao's house in a short period of time, Cao's house will not go to war with the Western Empire because of this matter. Yes, the Cao Family Firm looked very powerful, but they had already beaten the Southern Empire, so do they still have to confront the people of the Western Empire? This is simply impossible, so the time difference between them is considered acceptable.
The changes on the front line soon let the reconnaissance airships of the Third Army know. These investigators immediately sent the news to the headquarters of the Third Army. These staff officers began to study. The people in the Western Empire seemed to be changing. I don’t know why their offensive troops are on the second line. Their defensive troops are on the first line. This seems a bit inconsistent with their performance these days. You must know that at this time they should be It's hard to fight over, and it's not what it is now. If they do, will their brains be flooded? Wu Cai and the others didn’t know what was going on. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said loudly,
I’ll investigate the number of Xidi team on the front line. Tonight may be the time for them to start. , They want to kill us with the army of the Southern Empire, because our weapons are all long-range attacks, so they will be so confident to catch the defense forces, then our serial crossbow and artillery will attack the first round. It won’t have a very good effect. In this way, they can send the attacking troops again. At that time, our second round of attack is definitely not as good as the first time. It seems that these people are not fools, they He also knows some art of war." Wu Cai said aloud, and other people understood what was going on at this time. Although this is a possibility, there is nothing on the front line now. They obviously understand it. What's going on, these guys are indeed very powerful, if it weren’t for the commander to see that, it’s really possible to be fooled by these guys, and then they have to suffer, but even if If you can see it, it is impossible for them to do much with their current strength.
"How can these guys have such courage? Do they think they are much stronger than the Southern Empire? Our army killed the Southern Empire, and they want to try it too?" Chief of Staff I have spoken the doubts of many people here, and all of these people doubted what the commander said. Although the commander’s words are well-founded, they all know how powerful the Cao’s business is. Great, they are one of them. If these people from the Western Empire dared to do it, they would do it at the beginning. Why did it come to this time? Isn’t it already lost when they do it now? Where's that fighter? Don't they know how good we are? Although our army is relatively small, but behind us is the entire firm. The boss Cao Ke is not a guy who is willing to lose money. This guy usually does things that make others lose money. If his soldiers suffered such a loss, it would be strange that he couldn't kill all these people. How could it make the Western Empire people feel better?
"Hehe, this thing is very simple, this General Mulun probably doesn't want to be his general." The commander said with a smile, seeing everyone around him looking at him stupidly, yes, They don’t know some information about the Western Empire, but it’s okay. We do. He quickly said, "This guy wants to be a marshal. The emperor of the Western Empire has promised this guy, as long as he To lay down the territory of the Southern Empire, this marshal's seat is his. Now it is us who stand in front of him. If we continue to stand in front of him, what will his marshal seat do? So now he needs to do It just opened us up. Such a thing is probably what he can think of, but now our military strength is indeed not enough. Now it seems that we need to use the good things the boss gave us." This guy When he said that, he touched the space ring in his hand. The boss said that he would take it out when it was like this. This kind of thing is very beneficial to the defensive side. It's not that easy to get rid of it, it depends on whether you have a good mouth. (To be continued...)
