Macho Wars

The controlled island No. 1 has a total area of ​​about 700 square kilometers and a population of about 100,000. The locals call it Ozuki Island.The former lord was the Yamamoto clan, and the patron, Kazuki Yamamoto, was a self-appointed shogun. He was originally the strongest force on the archipelago. There were three castles on Ozuki Island: Yamamoto, Sakamoto, and Higashimoto. There were more than 300 samurai under his command. , And five thousand peasant soldiers called "Zhuqing".

It's just that because the Yamamoto family took the initiative to attack the imperial army that had just landed, they became the first lord to be defeated. Yamamoto Kazuki himself was also killed by the imperial army's 75 mountain cannon in this attack.Later, his son-in-law, Sakuma Eiichiro, the lord of Sakamoto castle, surrendered to the empire. When the leader party led the army to break through the Yamamoto and Higashimoto.

The empire wanted to support this guy and speak for himself in the local area, but unfortunately this guy died last month. An assassin secretly poisoned the soup, and his family died neatly at the table.

Most of the resistance forces circling around Ozuki Island are the remnants of the Yamamoto family, and the leaders are the two sons of Yamamoto Kazuki.

It is reported that the brothers are trying to get in touch with the remnants of the old lords on other islands, and want to unite these resistance forces against the imperial army.

For this, Dragon can only say that the idea is good, but it is of no use!

On the second day of the meeting, Dragon took a boat to Sakamoto Castle on Ozuki Island.All the security teams have been assembled in the northern barracks beforehand.

In the first two batches of recruits, there are currently more than 700 people left in the security team. Nearly 200 people died in the line of duty, and some people chose to desert because of cowardice.

Dragon inspected these future policemen on the barracks school grounds, and looked at their crooked standing posture and poor queue level, his brows wrinkled.

"Major Horn, I remember there are a lot of locals, why did the first two batches of recruits have this virtue?"

"My lord, I also want to recruit some decent ones, but there is no way! The locals are generally malnourished, and most suitable young people have served as soldiers under the old lord. How dare I recruit those unclean guys."

"Major, your idea is obviously wrong. How can you be sure that these young people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Yamamoto family? Leave those who have served as soldiers and wait for them to be taken away by the remnant party?"

"Can be recruited, how to screen it?"

"No! We don't do screening, we recruit these young people into the security team, trust them, treat them kindly, and then train and educate them. When these young people realize that what we can give them, the Yamamoto family will never give it. I believe that except for a few diehards, most people will make smart choices."

So under Dragon's instructions, the third batch of recruitment began. This time, apart from physical requirements, there were no restrictions on birth. Many young people who had served as soldiers for the old lord enlisted in the army.

The instructor changed to a new training syllabus, and the intensity was nearly doubled compared to the previous one, but the salary was also improved.

In the past, the military paid very low salaries to the security team. They only provided two meals a day, and there was very little meat in the food. Each person was paid 30 kilograms of grain per month.

After Dragoon came, he raised this treatment to three meals a day, and there must be meat for dinner, and each person would be given 30 catties of grain per month, plus five silver coins.In addition, Dragon also asked these security teams to take cultural lessons to teach them the words and language of the empire.

Although this level of treatment is still not as good as that of regular soldiers, for the locals who are used to having one meal a day and giving their lives to the lord for free, this is already an unimaginable preferential treatment in the past.

According to Dragon’s plan, their first step was to completely pacify Ozuki Island, eliminate the remnants of the Yamamoto family, and stabilize their dominance in the local area, and then use Ozuki Island as the source of troops to train a group of soldiers loyal to the Empire. And officials, and then use them to control other islands.

On the other hand, Dak’s work has also found a breakthrough. He found that the local agriculture is very backward. The main crops grown by the islanders are rice and potatoes, but because the land is barren and there is no fertilizer, the output is extremely low.

They are all potatoes. The ones grown on the New World are as big as adult fists, while those on the islands are smaller than plums.

It is said that this kind of crop was given to them by the "god man" in the past. The annual output was indeed not small, but because the locals did not understand breeding at all, they did not know that the potato should be detoxified, which led to the continuous degradation of the variety. Now it looks like a ghost.

So Dak sent a telegram to Port Pandora, requesting that the Colonial Agriculture Bureau dispatch some agricultural technicians and improved seeds.

As a personal experience of the riots, Dak knows that food is the key to stabilizing people’s hearts. The reason why Langley City rioted at the beginning was because of the food shortage caused by the war. Take to the streets collectively.

The same thing does not want to repeat itself in a new place.Fortunately, the islanders of Zhibadan are very poor, and their needs are much lower than those of the imperial ones, so they can easily be met at this stage.

Therefore, the main task of the district government at this stage is to resume production as soon as possible and increase local production.After learning about it, Dragon said that the military is willing to provide some manpower if needed.They have just recruited more than a thousand young men. These people are all ready-made laborers.

Thanks to the joint efforts of both military and political parties, Ozuki Island has been significantly improved in just three months.Public security has improved, and the farmland is thriving.

And Dr. Dornier's research team also joined hands with the Technical Miko, and successfully assembled the first new aircraft built entirely by the world itself.

Chapter 180

On the airport side of Ryugu Island, a brand-new biplane has been assembled. The technical staff of the empire and the technical maidens of the shrine surround the new aircraft, their eyes are as if they are watching their own flesh and blood.

The main body of the new aircraft is a wooden frame structure with a canvas covering. The brand-new stainless steel engine manufactured by the Empire has a maximum horsepower of 185 after several trials and adjustments, which is theoretically enough to make this aircraft weigh only 600. The kilogram biplane took two adults to the sky.

When the military received the news, the aircraft had completed a full set of ground tests, and only waited for a sunny, sunny day for the final test flight. Therefore, the highest commander of the garrison, Dragoon, was notified to observe it.

For the military, this was their primary task for traveling all the way to the Zhibodan Islands. Therefore, when they heard that the new plane was about to fly for the first time, Dragun immediately put down his work and returned to Longgong Island as quickly as possible.

When he arrived at the airport in a humble manner, everything had already been prepared here.

Akashi saw Dragon come back and greeted him enthusiastically, while Dr. Dornier still had a poker face and didn't give Dragon any good face.

I don't know if it is because of the arrogance of the scientist or other reasons. Dr. Dornier's attitude towards Dragon has not been very good. Although it does not add up to the evil words, but it is often cold.Dragoon has always wondered, did he offend him somewhere?

In fact, this attitude of Dr. Dornier was not only aimed at Dragoon alone. This stubborn old man had a good opinion of the entire empire military.

In the past few decades, as a well-known scholar of the Central Institute of Technology, Dr. Dornier has often been assigned by superiors to develop new weapons for the military.However, the two sides always quarreled with the military leaders because of issues such as development intentions and design indicators.

Of course, this kind of contradiction between the designer of Party B and Party A’s father is still secondary. The main reason that Dr. Dornier really hates soldiers is because of the assassination that has caused a national sensation in more than ten years.

Stallone, a university scholar, went to the Imperial University to give a lecture. When he got off the car and walked towards the school auditorium, he was shot and killed by a revolver with a mentally problematic student.

At that time, many people in society suspected that the military played a disgraceful accomplice role in this incident.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain. What is the ability of an ordinary college student to cross the cordon lined by a large number of military police, approach a place less than five meters away from the college student, and then calmly drew a gun and shot.

It is precisely because of the unfortunate death of his teacher that Dr. Dornier hates soldiers very much.

Seeing that the audience had arrived, Akashi immediately ordered the test flight to begin, and the test pilot was still the war maiden of Ryugu Shrine.Although the military has also selected some soldiers who have passed the physical conditions and gave them to the witches for training, most of these students are still learning theoretical knowledge. At this moment, they can only sit on the temporary stands and look at them with envy. The female instructor got into the plane.

Dragoon on the side saw the wooden biplane taxiing tremblingly to the take-off position. Apart from excitement and anticipation, there was still a hint of worry in his heart.He ran to Akashi secretly and asked in a low voice in Japanese.

"Hey, Ms. Akashi, I think the pilot doesn't seem to be carrying a parachute. If something happens, it's not so good!"

"Don't worry, Tu Tu Wan (code name of the test machine) was carefully constructed in accordance with the design drawings left by our ancestors. I will check every step of the process. Besides, this test flight will not fly too high. Two or three hundred meters, it makes no difference whether you bring a parachute."

"..."

Looking at the confident Akashi, Dragoon said nothing in the end with a complicated look, but silently prayed for the test pilot sister in his heart.

Under the notes of hundreds of pairs of eyes on the scene, the test machine named "Talawan I" by the technicians began to accelerate on the runway, and the new engine made a "sudden" rapid roar.

As the aircraft taxied faster and faster, first the tail lifted up, and then the front wheels separated from the ground, flying smoothly to the sky with a light and fluttering feeling.

Seeing this scene, a large number of people, including Dragon, were relieved.After a while, the surveyor at the end of the runway brought data. It took only 97 meters for the new aircraft to roll off from the ground. This was the result of the test pilots worrying about the engine status and not daring to increase thrust quickly.

After the plane took off, it circled the airport a few times and made some very simple moves.

Since it is a biplane, the engine's horsepower is less than a quarter of zero and one-tenth of the Hellcat's. So compared to the old planes at the shrine, this new plane looks sluggish. It can be seen from the ground The speed may be around 120 kilometers per hour.But even so, this speed is sufficient for the so-called "high-speed airships" of various countries.

After flying in the air for a full twenty minutes, the test pilot used radio to report to the ground in the air that the test machine Talawan was in good condition.The only problem is that the convertible cockpit is too cold, and after flying for a while, my face is almost numb.

So after getting permission from Akashi, the test pilot piloted the plane to lower the altitude, preparing to land at the airport.

The technicians on the ground are very excited at this moment. The new aircraft they have made by themselves successfully went to the sky. This is no different than a milestone work for the aviation industry in this world.

However, just as they cheered and were about to wait for a grand banquet to celebrate in the evening, an accident happened when the landing gear touched the ground.

Just hearing a "click" sound, the fuselage broke in the rear third, and the entire tail fell off.Then the front half of the fuselage first rotated, then rolled, and finally fell into the drains on both sides of the runway.
