Chapter 2181 The City of Wind

The current situation is like this, and now the Western Empire seems to be in the same state as the Southern Empire.

Now, many people have this idea, and many people are not optimistic about the Western Empire. They all feel that they can

Like people in the Southern Empire, they will face defeat in the end. For them, they laughed at others in the past.

That’s okay in the Southern Empire, but now there’s nothing wrong with others, but now they need to worry, one by one

People are very afraid that the people from Cao’s Commercial Bank will actually fight over, but some of their senior members have their own opinions.

That’s why they believed that the people from Cao’s House of Business would not be able to call, at least in the Southern Empire’s capital.

They didn’t come here before, but now the southern part of the Southern Empire can be said to be the home of the Cao’s business.

When it’s unstable, we must continue to attack. It can be said that we are looking for death. Such a thing is for everyone.

It’s impossible. It’s impossible for them to do such a thing. There are no fools in the Cao’s house, even if they do.

If you do, you won’t offend the people of the Western Empire at this time. Although the people of the Western Empire know that the people are in chaos,

They are very happy one by one, because their territory has more than a dozen provinces, which for them

This thing is very good. Now many people in Cao’s house are saying they want to retaliate against the Western Empire, but what do they use?

What about revenge?Attack at sea?This is not bad.Festival can indeed bring considerable losses to the Western Empire, but

What should I do after the attack?There was no Cao’s firm’s base in the western waters of the Western Empire, nor did those islands.

It is very large, and it is obviously impossible to use it as their base.

The biggest difference between the Western Empire and the Southern Empire is here. Cao’s armies can be located on the southern coastal islands of the Southern Empire.

The army gathered more than tens of millions of troops, but they couldn’t gather so many troops on the territory of the Western Empire.

Even if all the airships of the firm were to transport the army, they would only be able to transport hundreds of thousands of people at once.

If it were the people of the Western Empire, they would fight the people of Cao's house.It is absolutely impossible for these hundreds of thousands to persist until the next batch of reinforcements arrive

of.As for the sea, it is even more impossible. An expeditionary force starts from the base of the Southern Empire, even if it is Cao’s business.

Ships in the country are relatively fast, and it takes two months to reach the port of the Western Empire.I want to stop walking in the middle

It is absolutely impossible.As long as the people of the Western Empire got the news.They want to stop this

There are still many ways to do it. After all, this time is too long, so now the people of Cao’s Commercial Bank

It is impossible for the roots to cause any substantial harm to the Western Empire.For this reason, the Cao’s firm must

It is necessary to swallow this bitter fruit. Li Cong and Wu Zuoxi, Wang Quantai and Wu Liubai who have already returned to the headquarters at this moment

2. The four of them are also discussing this matter. Now they have done everything they can do, but

There is no result yet. The Western Empire is different from their boxes. At least they don’t want to give Cao’s family business.

The meaning of an apology, they have already withstood this round of no gunpowder attack by the Cao family firm. The Western Empire and the Cao family

Some of the loan contracts of the commercial bank are contractual, and the payment is made in installments. We are not at the time when we should give it to you.

If you can not come in accordance with the contract, Cao's Commercial Bank follows the spirit of the contract. If you do not comply, you will have no credibility.

"It seems that the Western Empire is far more stubborn than our box. In the past, we all felt that we were already very powerful.

It’s like the people from the four empires are not our opponents. For them, we also look very strong.

Yes, they didn’t dare to offend us. I really didn’t expect the moment we managed to operate after the defeat of the Southern Empire

It was broken by the people of the Western Empire. Our army has no way to win, even if they suffer huge losses.

Loss, it’s okay, because people’s population base is relatively large, our roots are unlikely to be their opponents.

Other things are easy to solve, that is, the problem in front of you is not easy to solve. Just say what you think.

Now we have to solve this problem. Now we can hardly get off the hook. If the Western Empire is in our series of actions

If you give in, everything is easy to say, but now it’s obvious that they don’t mean to admit defeat. Sometimes they are strong.

It's hardly good, but now we are wrong about this matter, we are hard-line wrong, the people of the Western Empire must look at us

It’s a joke, they will also say, aren’t you great? Just come."Li Cong said helplessly at the map, although

He built a quick response army, but the planet is so huge that even he can’t deliver quickly.

In the army, if it is not done well, the reinforcements sent over may also be killed. This also exposes the Cao’s

Too much inadequate, at this time Li Cong must carry out some reforms, otherwise he might lose more thoroughly in the future.

In the end, all of this is possible. The few people in front of you are the absolute seniors of Cao’s firm, except for Gu Xin.

The two weren't here, the first-class steward of Cao's House of Business was all here, and Li Wei also came here to attend.

"My opinion is very simple. We can't just admit defeat, even though our army is already surrounded by them.

, But they have not completely failed. If our people give them some assistance at this time, they will account for

There is still no problem with the original area.If we concede now, everything in our Cao’s firm will be gone.

How difficult it is for us to obtain our current position. In the past, the people of the four empires thought we were rich, and the others

But there is nothing, but our war with the Eastern Empire and the Southern Empire made them understand. Our fists

It’s also very powerful. Now they know what’s going on, but now they treat us one by one.

The practice has produced doubts, if none of us have such capabilities.Our situation will be more difficult in the future

.I have done calculations. If we send reinforcements now, at the speed of the airship, we will arrive in the area within half a month.

Domain.More than 700,000 reinforcements and some things they need."Taba Hara is the representative of the military. This guy is the most

I don't want people who failed on my own side anymore.The status of the army for a few days is definitely achieved by the heads of brothers

If you concede defeat at this time, there won't be many such opportunities in the future.When I become stronger, this will be

It’s a taint on them, so now there is no such thing or not, if we continue this

In this way, their entire business will feel very ashamed, and make the most of it before they lose that person.

Although the subsequent efforts may not be successful, they have given a lot of people hope.

Later, the elite troops will not necessarily fail in the past, and they all have good combat effectiveness.

"I don’t agree with the current practice. Now the southern empire’s army has already begun to retreat, and they have lost a dozen of them.

I don’t think we have to fight this war. In fact, I said afterwards at the beginning.

War has nothing to do with us, as long as we make a certain effort, the Western Empire and the Southern Empire

People are still different. Under the threat of our starvation war, the people of the Southern Empire will choose to succumb, but it is clear that the Western Emperor

The people of China are not scared by our threats. The people of the Western Empire have now won, and they will not be afraid of us.

It’s a tragedy for anyone. For us, we need to accept this failure.

Was defeated. Many people in our army did not face up to this failure. General Mop, I have no other intentions.

I don’t mean to target anyone, I just tell what I want to say, and now many things are not me

It’s as simple as ours. You should understand this. Now all things must obey our development.

Only possible. I am in charge of the operation of the entire group. It’s not impossible for us to go to war with the Western Empire, but we gather

There are also many scars in the regiment that need to be healed. If we really do this, we will become warmongers.

At present, the internal issues of the previous war have not been resolved very well within the Chamber of Commerce.Said Wu Zuoxi, Tuoba

Hara Yelai also Xu Ang wants to come out and say something, but seeing this guy say so sincerely, he doesn’t have much.

I have to say, now he basically understands what's going on. Sometimes things are not so simple.

Some things can only be done, it is definitely not so simple to do things.

"I agree with Guanshi Wu's opinion. Now the firm cannot go through a large-scale war. There are many inside the firm.

Money, but people can’t just come out like that. This time we have more than one million casualties. Our firm has a lot of troops.

But there are not many troops that can be mobilized. We have newly occupied more than one hundred provinces in the Southern Empire, and every province needs

If the garrison is more than 300,000, this will require at least tens of millions of our troops, plus some of our needs for the land

Our army is far from enough to protect the place. Now our total number of troops is 3.5 billion, but our mobile

I think the military strength is less than 200 million. Can we fight such a war?Most of our troops are now locked up, but

In this way, how many people can the Western Empire mobilize?According to one of our surveys, thirty years ago, the Western Empire did

According to a survey, there are 235 billion people.According to the growth over the years, their number has exceeded 2500

100 million people. In theory, their entire empire has tens of billions of troops that won’t affect the operation of the entire empire. There is another

The important thing is that people are fighting in the land, and we need to travel long distances. We are much better than them.

We have airships, we have space rings, these things are very good, but these things cannot be changed.

Change the difference between us and the Western Empire.In the end, we will still have a lot of things inferior to others.true

If we fight, we may fail. Such a huge failure will definitely not be what we can afford now

of.So this breath needs to be saved until later to be spit out."Although Wang Quantai has just joined the Cao Family Firm not long ago.

Is already a good hand in managing the economy.When Wu Zuoxi is fully responsible, he is responsible for the economy.

Wang Quantai had studied the economy of Cao's house before, and he could see it from this war.Cao Jiashang

Actually, it’s richer than any of the four empires. Even if they add up, Li Cong is one

A pharmacist, relying on this, it’s impossible for those people to keep up. That’s why Cao Cao

All actions of the home firm will be very backed by money, but in this world you can’t do it if you have money.

Okay, there will be many other things. For now, many things have too many restrictions. The Western Empire

What I did this time really exceeded the allowable scope of Cao’s house, and Cao’s house had already used a lot.

The restriction scheme is now available, but it can be verified on the basis that these things are basically useless

It can’t be said that there is no harm to the Western Empire, but the people of the Western Empire can persist in it.

It’s impossible for them to succumb to war against them, and their people are not ready to go to war, but they are willing

They will definitely bet on this matter. They all understand this matter very well, and they also know that the people in Cao’s house must not

If you dare to do this, Wang Quantai of course knows the horror of Cao’s firm. If both parties are brought closer, or Xidi

If the country is part of the Southern Empire or the Eastern Empire, then you can be sure that you can definitely teach him a lesson, right

For this matter, Li Cong is also very strange. Why would there be so many islands in the coastal areas of the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire?

Some large islands are as huge as a dozen provinces, and they can accommodate more than two billion people, but they

After investigating around the Western Empire and the Northern Empire for so long, we didn't find such a huge island.

"But now the brothers in the army are all passionate. It may be that we haven't experienced any loss before.

Defeat, this time the defeat is too thorough, I feel that what we need to do now is to end this war decently, should

We should advertise to the people below us what we will fail, and we must not let them lose their confidence in this way.

For things that are not possible, the army can have nothing, but it is absolutely not allowed to lose the army’s mind. We used to

We all watched our opponent lose this thing, but now this thing has come to our head, this is me

It’s the top priority that we want to solve. I think it’s necessary to publicize the disadvantages of our army.

There are the number of their annihilated enemies, and the various sufferings they have encountered in the local area. Try to make our army can

If I accept the casualties in front of me, if it’s not possible, it’s hard for me to believe what happens inside the army, especially

It’s the navy cruising around the Western Empire. Many of their things are beyond the scope of the order. In the past, only

It’s just to order them to harass. Obviously now they have begun to attack the county on land. This matter is for

It’s not a good thing for anyone. The navy of the Western Empire is not our opponent, but their coastal defense has now increased.

That giant crossbow can already cause damage to our warship, and I don't want our warship to sink."Tobahara

Ye said, some people in the army.Especially lower-level officers, it is difficult for them to look at this issue rationally, and they all feel

I feel that the business is not the time when it just started, so many brothers have died, and we have nothing to revenge.

Mean?If this is the case, who will give his life to the Chamber of Commerce in the future?

Everyone looked at Li Cong at this time, and they just told Li Cong about some things that happened around them.

In the end, how to make this decision is still Li Cong's business, and they can't override it.Just follow

The same as Wu Zuoxi.He can take control of trivial things, but he can’t do things like this

A lot of things are not what he says, and many things need to be judged by various things.There are various data

Still not enough.War is a gamble.If you can win, just like the war in the Southern Empire, since

Although I have lost a lot.But I also got a lot of things from the Southern Empire, but if I didn’t

Victory?Then, if you keep everything you have, you will definitely have to pay more, and the other empires will also

Learned from the Southern Empire, at that time everything of their own might be ruined. They all protect the merchants, but they protect

They are all the kind of small businessmen who honestly pay them taxes. Are you a small business man?Impossible, I have

They have mastered their economic lifeline, and they don’t want their own economic lifeline to be in the hands of others.

Such things, they are all looking at themselves one by one, as long as they make a little mistake, they are all

Will rush over without hesitation and eat myself, I am a huge piece of fat, they are all waiting for this piece of fat

The meat can get into their mouths, something like this may happen, Li has reached this time from now, he must

It’s okay to make a correct decision. If you start a war with the Western Empire at this time, if you fail, just follow the previous

When there was nothing left, the Southern Empire would stand up and take back the things they had before.

In fact, in Li Cong's heart, he was very eager to fight with the people of the Western Empire. He was not a war monger himself, and

It’s what the Western Empire did this time that really made them feel angry. The roots of the Western Empire didn’t show Cao’s family firm.

In the eyes, if they really have such a little respect, such a thing will not happen now, Western Empire

The people who do things are like this. They don’t see it in their eyes. They should be taught a lesson. But after this

If you have to see it all, just like now, you will have a lot of benefits if you win.

Will eat a piece of meat from the western empire, and in the future, it will slowly erode this empire, just like the current southern empire.

The empire is the same, but what if you fail?Li Cong glanced at the brothers around him. It seems that this matter has to be with Wang

Quantai said the same, to end this war decently now, it was a mistake to blend in at the beginning.

It’s okay to maintain a balance, but you must never pull yourself in. Those things on the Europa continent back then

Compared to myself, it’s much more complicated. Everyone in the country can play very well, but unfortunately I don’t have that.

I didn’t play it well, and I played it in. Such a thing is not for anyone

Not a good thing, now I have to let the Western Empire know their mistakes, but I have already used a lot of things

Love has come to do this, and now they still have no intention of regretting it. How can we let them know

Do your own mistakes?Although it won’t let them sign any defeat agreement, but you can’t just do your own loss.

Forget it, suddenly Li Cong thought of the example of attacking the Holy Light City by himself at the beginning, and now it is also possible.

Li Cong didn’t say anything, he walked quickly to the front of the map, and the other people saw Li Cong’s eyes.

I knew what happened at that time. It seems that Li Cong has already found a solution to the problem. They all followed Li Congda.

Looking over, there is the capital of the Western Empire, the capital of the Western Empire known as the City of Wind.This is in the Western Empire

The place of Dahe Minxinjiang, this place can be said to be the political and economic center of the entire Western Empire, this Minxinjiang is also far away

The Luan River is much larger than before. It’s no problem for large warships to enter, but Li Cong recognizes them

There is no need to drive in such a warship, as long as it can drive in the river escort, Li Cong sneered.

After a while, they immediately predicted what Li Cong wanted to do. Several people looked at Li Cong in amazement. They were bold enough.

It's really big.It's just that the defense of the City of Wind is similar to the city of Holy Light.In terms of the number of troops

It’s not as good as the Holy Light City, but there is still a prominent problem now that there is nothing to threaten the Southern Empire

It came to the warships of the Cao’s House, but now the Western Empire has a huge crossbow.No one knows how many they made

This thing is less.If they continue to make more.It won’t be easy to handle then, I

We want to win, but we absolutely do not need a tragic victory.Such a victory is unnecessary for anyone,

Everyone needs an easy victory, but wars have always been cruel.

People can easily win the war, but it seems that there is no such simple thing anymore. Everything needs future

Slowly, victory alone is willing for anyone, but it cannot be achieved.

"We cannot just admit defeat. This is not the style of our Cao family firm, nor is it my own style. Although we lost such a battle, I will not admit defeat in this war. The entire Cao family firm’s People won’t admit defeat. If I just admit this thing, so many brothers who followed me to fight the world would be very dissatisfied. For them, following me may not get anything. , Brothers died, did it just pass? This is millions of people. As long as one person dies here, I will let them die more than a dozen people. That General Mulun was not defeated on the front line. Me? Immediately ask our lurking personnel in the Western Empire to have some fun with this guy. He wants to be a marshal, so I will put him in prison. In addition, I will send my order. The Marines 1st to 5th Divisions give me Assemble and get ready to set off at any time. The first and second fleets of naval escort boats are assembled and ready to attack the City of Wind. We don’t need to give them much results, as long as we let them know that we can fight all the way from here, all the way from The gun here is enough. As for the logistics, I will follow.” Li Cong said with a smile, and everyone around him was surprised. Of course, they knew the horror of their boss, and they could throw away their boss’s space ring. With hundreds of millions of grains, the knight is not Li Cong’s space ring, but Li Cong’s inner world. There can be at least two things the size of the earth inside. This comes with such a small amount of supply. It's a very easy thing. The root cause is that they don't need to consider their lack of supply. Of course they are confident about this. Moreover, Li Cong will have even more powerful weapons this time. People of the empire drink a pot, your capital is in danger.

Since Li Cong has already determined this offensive matter, they don’t need to say anything more here. Anyway, Li Cong already has his own idea, and they continue to say something else here, it seems that they are not level. Now what they have to do is to get everything ready quickly. You must know that although the army that Li Cong used this time is not very large, it is the most elite part. The Marines are following The Southern Empire was already very powerful during the war. Now that they have been baptized on the battlefield, they are already kings on the battlefield. Some things are quite proficient for them. For now, Their business can definitely be said to be the first person in the Cao’s House of Business’s army, second only to the guards formed by Li Cong, but the role of the Guards is to guard the tightest areas of the Cao’s House of Business, which is Those teleportation formations, besides them, these troops are the most powerful. Now Li Cong has used them all at once, and Li Cong can see what Li Cong means. Li Cong is about to win the war. They absolutely can't let them end this thing like that. The war has just begun, and I am definitely not going to mess with you in a large-scale war.But the small-scale ones will definitely hurt you. When the time comes, you will take the initiative to make peace with me. The economy of the Western Empire was quite different from that of the Southern Empire. You have suffered a hard loss. Don’t feel distressed when the time comes. It’s half a month when Cao’s family firm evacuates important items from the base of the Western Empire. It is estimated that the people of the Western Empire will not do this like that of the Southern Empire. Action, if they really confiscated all the assets of Cao's Commercial Bank, they would have to see what happened to them, and if anyone from the Southern Empire would compensate them.

In the past, these big empires all hoped that the Southern Empire could destroy Cao's business.If that were the case, all the assets of their domestic Caojia Commercial Bank would be theirs.But now they don't have that idea anymore. The Southern Empire has taken back the assets of Cao's Commercial Bank, which is about trillions of silver in assets, but they have paid a hundred times that.All are for compensation of silver.The Western Empire now also understands this matter.It is absolutely impossible to do robbery. Even if you are in a hostile state with the Cao's firm, you can never do such a thing.Leaving aside the issue of compensation in the future, after so many years of development, the Cao’s business has been perfectly integrated with the Western Empire’s economy. Anyone knows this kind of thing very well, and they also They will never do such a thing that self-destroy the Great Wall. They will do it very well. For them, if they check the Cao's house, they will never go to the box. The Southern Empire is still there. Carrying that heavy debt, there is not much surplus in annual taxation except for repayment. Although the people of Cao’s house control their economy, they are not as tight as the Southern Empire. But if they really did the same thing as the Southern Empire, it’s really hard to guarantee that they won’t be the same as the Southern Empire, so their upper echelons would not do such a thing. Besides, some of the hidden personnel of Cao’s Commercial Bank would also do it. They donated a lot of money, and the local officials everywhere are full. Even if the order is given, someone will give them a tip. By then, all valuable things will be gone. Get some. What do you do with things that are not very valuable?Nothing at all, they won't be so stupid.

Jianghu escort boats have been in service for a long time. Now Li Cong has made some improvements. Of course, during this siege, about 40 of them all returned to the shipyard for a huge The scale of the modification is the one that can bring back what Li Cong brought back. Now Li Cong has obtained 500 203mm heavy guns from the earth. If such a thing is on a steel ship If you do it, it’s absolutely no problem, because they can withstand that recoil, but it’s absolutely impossible for such a wooden boat. It is estimated that the two guns are fired, and people are not doing anything yet. When it sinks, the recoil of this thing is so powerful. In the past, as long as the battleships were not in danger, they would definitely not shoot directly, because that would be a huge disaster for them. If they did something like that, they would be really stupid, especially the damage to the keel is very serious. Therefore, as long as people are not stupid, they will not do such things. Li Cong takes them back and modifies them. It’s not that they can be fitted with such a cannon, because no matter how they are remodeled, it is impossible to install such a cannon. Because they don’t have such a thing, get them back and refit it. These artillery can be installed in, then they will still be installed on the land. They also want to be transported by airships, but the airships are still a bit too risky in the air. It is better to use spreading. Besides, it can also be used to operate him. Soldiers of, you can get more familiar with it on the road. This kind of artillery is specifically designed to open the walls of the City of Wind. The one-hundred-kilogram shell should not be a big problem. Of course, if one shot fails, we You can do it again. Anyway, Li Cong also brought a lot of cannonballs. There are many such cannonballs on the earth. If you don’t get this, you will need a lot of scrap. It’s better to be here. Give play to the residual heat.

Each gun requires nearly a hundred people to operate this thing. There are only 20 people who transport and install ammunition. When such a thing is brought in, it scared the artillery of Cao’s house. The 155mm artillery they used before is already very powerful. It is said that this is a 203mm artillery. They also learned it when they were in military academy. Generally speaking, the artillery that can be moved on land is considered very good. It can’t be considered the largest, but it’s about the same, and this kind of thing can range up to 50 kilometers, which is simply impossible for them. They didn’t expect it to happen before. Before, they knew the information about the city wall of the Wind City. The thickness is almost 50 meters. If you use a 155mm artillery, it is estimated that tens of thousands of rounds will not be able to achieve any results. The Western Empire’s If people are the same as this time, and fight with them in such a wasteful way, they will fail in the end. But with this thing, it will be different. It will be difficult to blast through the walls, but at least It will bring tremendous pressure to them, and if so many shells are really wasted, the city wall is definitely not a problem. This thing mainly depends on a power, a deterrent, and I believe anyone who sees this thing. The people of the Western Empire would all choose to submit. They were not fools one by one. If they were asked to be enemies with such a thing, they would not have the courage. Even the shells would have to be carried by one person. It looks like it’s laborious. The human energy on this planet is huge, but 100kg is not a joke. Moreover, such a thing may explode. If it does explode, this thing can definitely make them fly into the sky. Yes, and make sure that there will be no undamaged things left all over your body, so you should be very careful about each one. The most feared thing is that something is wrong with you. In that case, you will have nothing. There are no real bones, so you need to be careful and careful, but they will still see this thing secretly.

This thing can be said to be Li Cong’s trump card in the siege of the city. Li Cong also values ​​such a thing very much. Otherwise, so many ships will not be modified. Of course, the artillery. Happiness is based on the pain of the navy. If they want to load this thing, they have to take down their original artillery or something. Naturally, they are uncomfortable with such things. Besides, after they get to the place, , They weren’t allowed to be artillery. They could only watch and attack the capital of the Western Empire. This kind of thing is probably only one time, and it is impossible for it to happen in the future. At that time, the major empires will guard their cities along the river very tightly. It is absolutely impossible to find such an opportunity, and there will be no such good things.

The Western Empire can’t be talking about celebrating this, but it’s almost the same. In the past, the Western Empire had a slightly higher status than the Northern Empire among the four empires. In fact, it was also considered to be the bottom of the list. Compared with their economy, they can’t do anything, and it’s even more incomparable with the Eastern Empire, so they can only follow it honestly, but this time it’s different. People have really done big things. Yes, they really killed and defeated Cao's army. They got food from their mouths, something extraordinary.Although the entire Western Empire was worried about Cao’s retaliation from the Cao’s Commercial Firm, didn’t they say that their retaliation was just what they were now, and there would be nothing else.(To be continued...)
