Section 2204 Road Construction

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. The downwind position is much better than the upwind position, 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 used to modern warfare, still has a lot of interest in this.In an instant, the first wave of warships had already begun to exchange fire. The first group of warships that were hit by the crossbow arrows was the first to be hit. When they attacked others, they would also become targets 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 arrows shooting into their warships. The boats are already made of very hard wood, but the crossbow arrows are used. What I use on my head is the best thing I bought from Cao’s house called steel. This thing is more powerful than some iron tools, and it has to catch up with the weapons used by fifth-level fighters. This thing is fast. For this reason, the wood on the warship is no match for development.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 jin of refined iron. The price is indeed too much, but there is no way it’s not. , If you don’t change it.Other empires will certainly 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 has the upper hand.But 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 rushing into the bow 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, it is absolutely impossible for them to get water out. It's faster than the speed that Sheung Shui can sneak in, let's talk about it.The position of this ship is the most forward position, and it will definitely become a target of public criticism. Sure enough, before they are relieved, the next attack comes again, and many ships over there are directly heading towards this ship. The wounded warship opened fire, and they all understood very well. When you are sick and killing you, this is the most fruitful time. A dozen crossbow arrows passed through one after another, and some of them directly got the ship through. Now, you can see the situation there. Some equipment on the ship is basically useless. At this time, the speed slows down. With the impact of the trebuchet, it becomes even more serious at this time. Needless to say, waiting for silence, one of the Eastern Empire warships came up and was killed. They were very depressed, but they quickly brought this disadvantage back, mainly because they had more crossbow arrows on board. , If the number occupies a certain advantage, then this advantage will slowly be seen later. You have eight crossbow arrows and one ship, but there are more than a dozen of them. Although you can’t say that one can beat the two of you, you can What is certain is that none of you have strong combat power. This is something that everyone knows, and it depends on how well you do it.

"It seems that naval battles in this era are really cruel. They have to go over and kill them all, and there may be jumping 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. Many of them, though They have fought against the navies of several empires, but they didn’t take a close look at how they fought. The principle 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. When everyone heard Li Wei say that, they all laughed. If they used this way of fighting with the Cao family members If you fight a war, you will definitely lose. Just now, they already saw the range of the crossbows and catapults below. The farthest is about three kilometers, and it is impossible to harm them. As for melee?That is even more impossible, unless the people in Cao's House of Business have brain problems.Otherwise, no one wants to play with you in so-called close combat. When they were discussing it, the following war had been going on for half an hour, and there were 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 knows that these people turned out to be stupid and rushed up. This is definitely an honor in their navy. The act of walking and fighting is simply too embarrassing. They will not do such a thing, although the navy of Cao's Commercial Bank is very powerful.But in their eyes, they don’t think much about the navy of Cao’s house. In their opinion, the navy of Cao’s house is not planted at all. As long as it is close, it will run, and it runs so fast. Why? Don't you dare to come and fight in an upright manner?Those who accuse Cao's house of theirs would definitely not say anything if they heard it.He even hid his identity and scolded the people of Cao's firm?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 China can win, and the navy of the Eastern Empire will never do such a thing, if you don’t.You are very likely to suffer. The battle just now seems to be that the people of the Northern Empire are not very good, but you can really see it when it comes to close combat. The soldiers of the Northern Empire are very powerful in individual combat. Soon I boarded the warships of the Eastern Empire, and the navy of the Eastern Empire used to learn to sail.It's impossible to fight them at close quarters like this, so it's a sure thing to suffer a loss. Just like now, they can't support them a bit and get a little tired.

Look at the Northern Empire side.They have already successfully captured the 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 Eastern Empire’s people adopt the so-called As far as the wandering tactics are concerned, the people of the Northern Empire really have a headache. The warships of the Eastern Empire are not very fast compared with those of the Cao’s Trading Company, and it can be said to be fast, but a big problem is The warships of the Eastern Empire can’t catch up with the warships of Cao’s Commercial Company, but they are still much faster than yours. It is estimated that you are also very depressed. At this time, the naval commander of the Eastern Empire can also see it. If they don’t retreat, their navy might really fail. After losing dozens of warships, the Eastern Empire’s navy will start 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 With so many salaries and driving such a good boat, it turned out to be such an attitude after he got 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 it is chased, Without support, if the people over there run into the Eastern Empire's support fleet, they will end up at a disadvantage, and they are still so powerful on other people's turf.In the end, they would definitely be killed by the people of the Eastern Empire. At that time, I didn’t have anything, but it was a pity that I had to give up the interests in my hands, even though the warships of the Eastern Empire were preparing to escape. Up.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. If this is the case, we can still Solving a lot of trouble, and sending troops without authorization is not a joke. Conflict and war are two different concepts. Some people don’t worry about this, but some people are thinking about it. Will there be one in this list"?But in the end, the warships of the Northern Empire made a decision.Just kill it 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. Said the person who started the pursuit.The failure of the Eastern Empire is certain, but they have also gained a lot of things. Their failure this time was mainly caused by the different opinions of people in the army. Such things are like this for them. I didn't understand what was going on, so what happened was caused by these people's uselessness, if they could unite earlier.There is no need to do this. Half of the people in the Eastern Empire fleet are not willing to stay at all. They are all cowards, but they only carry out the orders issued by the fleet commander, and the rest are disobedience. The ones out.Those guys didn't want to go back one by one. They wanted to defend the honor of the navy. They had to teach the Navy of the Northern Empire a good lesson, but they were all in a very good mood. Unfortunately, their approach was definitely not successful.Because their people are no good, their brothers have already started to run, and the remaining people are not as many as the people in the Northern Empire. If this continues to fight, they will only be the most depressed in the end. I saw the escaping brothers one by one, and I wanted to go up and kill them. The Eastern Empire invested so much in the navy. I didn’t expect it to be like this the first time I went up. How can I face those in the future? People?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 a long time ago can be said that they have all recovered, Linghu The family is really more and more useless now. The royal family of the Eastern Empire is more united at this time than before. There was no such thing in the past. Unexpectedly, 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 it is not necessary now. Now give me some reports on the general situation of 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 that of the Eastern Empire, but we shouldn’t expect the 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 warcrafts there. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to go to that place to fight in a foolish way." Li Wei 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. In charge, of course Li Cong has his own business.At least for now, looking at what this kid is doing is still very good, many people feel that their young master is doing things pretty well. If it doesn't work, it is estimated that someone has stood up to oppose this kid. Inside Cao's firm That's it. Although it's not the same as on earth, it's also much more democratic.

The secretary quickly opened the information he had prepared.The Eastern Empire had its own navy in the past, which can be divided into three major fleets, but because of the last war, the Eastern Empire’s navy was basically destroyed. Now their navy is newly established. Yes, although they are all new.But their combat effectiveness is very strong. This is a problem of the underlying background. They have developed the ocean for tens of thousands of years. So in this regard, they have done very well. It took twelve to form the navy. Two large fleets have been formed in a year.They are the First Fleet and Second Fleet. The defense areas of these two fleets are separated by a big river in the Eastern Empire. The first fleet is responsible for the southern area, while the second fleet is responsible for the northern area. A squadron of the Second Fleet of the Eastern Empire. Their structure is like this. The Eastern Empire is composed of ten large and small ships into a squad, which can be said to be the smallest combat unit. A naval squadron has two squads. A brigade has four squadrons, and one brigade has a command post. There are about 100 large and small ships under it. Five brigades make up one squadron, about 600 search for various ships, and five detachments make up one squadron, about 4000 warships. At present, there are about 1,000 squadrons along the coast of the Eastern Empire, and their total number of ships has reached a staggering 5 million. These have all developed in the last twelve years, especially in such a purely hand-crafted era. It is already very good for them to have this ability, at least in this period on the earth, there is no such ability, and there will never be such a large fleet, because the ocean on the 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 also an ice-bound forest to the north, which is dangerous everywhere. So most of the army is still the army. What do you say you want the navy to do?We don’t have any rights in the sea, but after the rise of Cao’s house, 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 depends on where the fight is started. If this is on the territory of the Northern Empire, the Eastern Empire is basically of no benefit. Yes, the distance is too far. The people of Cao’s House of Business are very strenuous to fight such a war, let alone the people of the Eastern Empire. They don’t even have airship transportation, and they can’t support it. For such a big war, one can only send some expeditionary troops over.The people at Cao's House of Commercial Bank have calculated it for them, and they will regret it in the end when they reverse the situation.

Seven hours later, the war was basically over, and a number of warships from the Eastern Empire left.It was not the opponent of the remaining Northern Emperor’s military ships. They captured 32 ships, sank 80 ships, and escaped back to about 50 ships. The Northern Empire also counted as more than 70 ships. Anyway, in the future The place of Lihu belonged to the Northern Empire. The Eastern Empire stocked a lot of war materials on it. Now there is nothing left. The people of the Northern Empire have won a great victory.But after the war, there was another problem. The navy didn't find the people that the governor was looking for. But now the governor doesn't need this thing anymore, he doesn't need the silver, because he has won a big victory now.Although he did not fight this, it has a lot to do with him. It can be said that he did it by himself. The high-level people of the Northern Empire did not expect that their navy would defeat the Eastern Empire’s navy. If the Northern Empire had contact with the Eastern Empire on the ground, it is estimated that this governor would be brought to justice immediately. They are not the opponents of the Eastern Empire.Back then, the three major empires and a Cao family firm could 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 will take a few months from our place 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 quickly sent to the Eastern Empire.In the past, the Eastern Empire was the boss, and the Northern Empire was the most useless one. I didn’t expect to ride on the boss’s head now. This is the opposite of you. They know what Cao’s firm said about The armies of the major empires have their own investigations. They immediately sent people to contact with the Cao’s family business, hoping to get some specific information about the Northern Imperial Navy. Cao’s family business has done a lot of such news. This is the second time, but basically they are doing business that is beneficial to them. This will help you get some news and make you a lot of profits. This kind of thing must be done, and the people of the Eastern Empire will pay. They were all very sensible, and they didn’t call out what would happen to them, nor did they say what to do with the Northern Empire. This is where Li Cong admires these people in the Eastern Empire. These guys are greatly affected by themselves. Li Cong’s loss will not be random. Such people make Li Cong feel that it is good to cooperate with them, but they should meet their requirements now. Li Cong directly asked them to give the news to them, and there were no people from the Eastern Empire. The next move made the Cao’s business people feel a little strange. Recently, the Eastern Empire merchants in the Northern Empire were always robbed and killed. They were already talking to the Northern Empire on this issue. I have mentioned it several times, but the official power of the Northern Empire in the area is not very strong at all. It is still a bit difficult to ask them to do this, so I can only endure it. I didn't expect such a situation to appear. A relatively large-scale conflict, this is something that neither people have thought of, it seems that neither of them has restrained it.

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 the end of the day, the people from Cao’s House of Commercial Company also left. Although the Western Empire was shocked, there were not many results. No one would be happy about such things. We I can’t learn from them, and the people at Cao’s Commercial Bank did not expect that some of the things they did would be regarded as negative examples. Li is too lazy to take care of it now, anyway, as long as it is your petty opponents. Now, what Li Cong has to do is the traffic planning problem in the occupied area. Li Cong looked at it from the inside out after this period of time.There are already 135 provinces in my own occupied area, but the traffic problems within these more than 100 provinces are really too bad. This has affected a lot of things, so the road construction is now Li Cong. Things must be done.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?However, after thinking for a while, Li Cong decided to produce locally.

Because the whole project needs too much cement, if it is all transported and produced on the earth, it may open up all the mountains on the earth. After all, the area of ​​this planet is a lot of the earth. The roads built here are many times as large as those on the earth. What we need to do now is to build a cement factory here.There is not much technology for things like cement. First, Li Cong asked the earth to transport a cement production equipment from the transmission array, and then there were this batch of 3,000 people from the earth, and there were 100 of them. Cement workers, among the people sent here on earth, are basically elites in various industries.It can be said that such ordinary workers are rarely sent here, and they are also very willing to come here to see, but one is that it is more difficult to go back when you are here, because technical reasons are still There is no solution, but some dead things can be transported 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 the road, but there are more people in need. Now Li Cong mainly built roads in one hundred provinces in the southern part of the Southern Empire, and the most important one was the roads along the border.If there is a war, they can be quickly connected. The road is 40,000 kilometers long. This is definitely a terrible number, according to Li Cong's request.The roads are all trimmed 15 meters wide. In fact, this can’t be considered very wide. The preparation roads should be like this. They should be built around 50 kilometers from the border. The original reasoning can be connected in series. Up.

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. A rough estimate of the 40,000 km road requires hundreds of millions of tons of cement. Some places simply don’t. It’s easy to get water, but it’s not easy to get things done. Besides, these workers are just beginning to come into contact with such things. It is inevitable that some problems will arise. Because of these problems, these guys may appear in the end. There are a lot of problems, maybe they still need to be reworked. Such things may happen. These people are very aware of this matter. They are very clear. These people can't help it. They are all slaves. In the past, they could hardly know anything, so they could only learn a little bit. However, Li Cong still had plans, and road construction could not be completed in a day. Instead, the cement plant chose about ten locations. 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. Li Cong also has his own. In my opinion, the Yue people can mix here, and more people will come here in the future. Then they will be the home of the Yue people. They will all like this place very much. They will buy it from outside in the future. For some Vietnamese people, they won’t have that much resistance. Of course, they can’t always be slaves. Li Cong also said that after ten years of work, they can become free people. There are things that are not available on the entire continent. These people are very happy one by one. They did not expect that there will be such a thing. They can be improperly slaves without being a slave for a while. This is the first time they have encountered this. It’s a very good thing.
