Monarch of Evernight
Chapter 1210: Money
The Prohibited Army left in a hurry and continued to withdraw from the restricted area delineated by the thousands of nights. After leaving the restricted area, it did not stay much. After a brief rest, the barracks were pulled out and returned to the King. If he wanted to be forced back by the guns, Commander Xue was ashamed to stay here. As for how he would report to the south if he returned to Wangdu, he didn't care, and didn't care.
Over the next few days, the tower suddenly had a different weather, as if it were the end of the world, and there were huge swirls of clouds in the sky, so that people in the city suddenly thought it was moving.
At a time of panic, Xu Jingxuan personally came out to inform the whole city, saying that this vision was caused by the cultivation of Thousand Nights Lord, no need to be alarmed. It's just that people's hearts are fixed, but the enthusiasm is raised.
How many times have people ever imagined a man cultivating a moving place?
In fact, Thousand Nights is also depressing. In modifying Tai Xuan soldiers' knack, Zhang Baoqian took into account all aspects. I just didn't expect that Thousand Nights had not been fought yet. Only the power in his body can drive heaven and earth to this scale.
However, despite the disturbances caused by the cultivation, the news spread at an alarming rate, and the whole town of Tacheng's people worshipped the Thousand Nights as gods, no less than the fanaticism of the native master. Some people even think that they are the second son of a thousand nights, have nothing to do with Zheng Guo anymore, and even some people are beginning to think enthusiastically about what the new national code should be.
With Xu Jingxuan present, Xizheng's work proceeded in an orderly manner. Since the beginning of the conscription, a group of scouts has been thrown out to gather up-to-date information on the Dark Race in the West. By now, a recent group of reconnaissance troops had returned and hung on the map of the theatre, marking a gradual increase.
By the end of a phase of cultivation at the end of the millennium, and by the time the general is assembled again, the map will be filled with dense markings and even a small tribal camp will be clearly marked.
Seeing this clear and hierarchical map, I can't help but admire Xu Jingxuan.
During this time, the new army was trained, and the mercenary generals also saw Xu Jingxuan's means of leading the army, as well as the tremendous expectations in the West. They all rolled up and down the line, naturally knowing what kind of soldier was on the battlefield. In just over ten days, Xu Jingxuan gave a group of inexperienced civilians initial mastery of the skills of the basic fighters and ordered them to be banned. No such soldier, no general likes it.
Although the mercenary generals are mostly reckless, they are able to live in a neutral place to this day, and no one is foolish to accomplish this, knowing who can really fight and who can only read military books. It's a real game on the battlefield, and I'm sure it won't last long.
Xu Jingxuan stood in front of the map, unconsciously straightening his back, and the whole person became confident. He pointed to a series of signs: "This large corridor in the west is more than 500 kilometers long, 90 kilometers wide, the narrowest is only 15 kilometers. It turns north here, a hundred and forty kilometres further, to the emerald sea, the main camp of the werewolves. ”
Instead of referring more to the emerald sea, he refers back to the Great Corridor, "according to the latest information, there are a total of 166 tribes of all sizes living within 100 kilometres of the Dark Race, with a total population of nearly 300,000. In addition, the Dark Race built two large groups of fortresses here, surrounded by nearly twenty small fortresses or stone fortresses, in addition to the two main ones. ”
Some of the mercenary generals looked heavy and several captains from the Song Valve looked relaxed, smiling: “What age has it been, fixing these little fortresses and fortresses? Isn't that right for our gunners? ”
The mercenary generals laughed when they thought it was true, and you said I was sarcastic about the folly of the Dark Race.
Thousand nights knocked on the table, silenced them, and continued listening to Xu Jingxuan explain.
Xu Jingxuan's face was slightly red, explaining: "We in Zheng Guo have never had a fleet of this size, let alone a large ship capable of withstanding ground turret bombardment. Normally, the fleet consists mainly of reconnaissance, pursuit of mutilated enemies, and outdoor combat, and will not participate in the siege. ”
Nod your head a thousand nights. He seized more than a dozen floating ships from Zheng Guo, basically old models, poor mobility and firepower, and not enough firepower to destroy the main turret of the city's defense.
In fact, Zheng Guocheng's anti-artillery design is quite characteristic. It should be specially designed to deal with the strong attack of the upper nobility of the Dark Race. It is powerful and has excellent anti-breaking performance. It can almost blow up the belly armor of the battle patrol. According to this power, even the cruiser should not be able to hold the turret bombardment.
But a thousand nights on tour is enough to change the whole game. The Dark Race's self-righteous first-line defense system has become overwhelming. After pulling out the outer fortress and the stone fortress, the remaining two main plugs won't last long either.
Xu Jingxuan ordered two images to hang, which is the structure and defense distribution of the two main plugs of the Dark Race. Although it is rough, the facade structure is clear, and the internal distribution is quite chaotic, this is an extremely valuable piece of intelligence in Zheng Guo's past situation.
He glanced at him at night and nodded: "You have a heart. ”
Xu Jingxuan said: “My subordinates' wish for many years is to be able to break out a large corridor, soldiers to the emerald sea. So when I was free, I gathered more information. ”
A thousand nights smiled and said, “That's a good heart. Stay close to me, it won't take long for you to get what you want. ”
Xu Jingxuan breathed heavily a few points and made a solemn gift.
In the past, Zheng's strength was weak, the land was vast, but most of its strength was consumed in the inner battle. Its strength was only equivalent to that of an imperial county. Regardless of the position, the size of a response armament was similar to that of Daqin's stronger county. With such national power, even with such a talent as Xu Jingxuan, he was unable to penetrate deep into the Great Corridor. He could only defend himself and prevent the Dark Race from rushing out of the Great Corridor.
When Xu Jingxuan retreated, Song Hui walked to the stage and hung a picture. The mercenary generals at the bottom frowned and looked at each other bitterly.
Song Hui is an intricate diagram with dense numbness, figures and formulas. Mercenary generals are accustomed to dealing with graphics, making them feel big in reading books, let alone numerically dense and numb. As for the formula of combining numbers and words, it is nothing more than a heavenly book, and it can't be looked at seriously.
Even for thousands of nights, it is necessary to distinguish carefully to see that this is a chart of the current economic structure.
Rarely, Song Hui not only included Zheng Guo part in this table, but also the neutral land and Ning Yuan Heavy Industries. Don't you remember that she had been to a neutral place, so she could sort out such a complex and rigorous system just by looking at the information that came with her on board?
Song Hui briefly introduced the construction rules and uses of this model in less than five minutes. In fact, it is useless for her to say too much. She doesn't even understand a thousand nights. The mercenary generals are even more foolish, such as Heavenly Books.
Xu Jingxuan didn't go anywhere. He was good at leading troops to war, but these are the financial management methods originating from the core of the Song Valve. How can you understand them without a little foundation? It can also be heard that there are several rules relating to military logistics.
Song Hui crossed the intermediate reasoning section and concluded directly: “With Zheng Guo's current black stone and other energy production, he gathered the strength of the nation, and the annual output can be used for three months of operation of our fleet. However, the corridor area under current control alone is only a month and a half away. According to available information, construction of new mining sites and refining equipment could double production in about six months, four times the current level in a year, but so far. That is, either we get more mines from Zheng, or we bring fuel from neutral lands or even from the Empire itself. In doing so, transport costs would be higher than the price of the fuel itself. ”
Thousand nights frowned, this trip to Lu, he prepared a lot of supplies, just didn't expect that after the collection of Zheng Guo fleet, the size of the fleet has almost doubled, and the fuel demand has also more than doubled. The old models of warships in Zheng Guo are not very powerful, they consume a lot of energy. They are all black stone-eating beasts.
Now that the fleet can remain in operation for more than a month, it must be supplemented.
Song Hui and others pondered for a while and said: “This is just black stone fuel. Next, let's talk about spare parts supply and repair of floating ships...”
It is natural to have a repair workshop to repair a floating ship, and you can imagine the size of the workshop required for a battle tour. Workshops need equipment, craftsmen, power towers, families of craftsmen... etc., just coarse outlines, Song Hui lists more than one hundred and seventy items, not counting the details under each coarse outline. For example, there are not only thousands of important parts, but dozens of different types of consumables and models. So Mr. Lin Lin, just think about headaches.
Fortunately, Song Hui concludes that most of them can be obtained by Zheng Guo, and there is no Dark Race in Zheng Guo. Lu's own production is quite diverse, the quantity and high-end products are not comparable to those of the upper and middle continents, and the low- and middle-end resources are still considerable. It is only here that the force is too chaotic, the indigenous exploration and exploitation techniques are insufficient, the output is not very good, and foreign investment cannot be attracted, which is what it is today.
And even if there is no land, it can be transported from a neutral place or from the Empire itself, only more expensive.
Turns out it's about money. Thousand nights I understood, and I was relieved.
Song Hui saw the thoughts of a thousand nights and was not very cheerful: “This is not just about money. ”
“What else is there?” Thousand Nights asked faintly that he had been given a headache by that bunch of digital formulas, and I really didn't want to see it again.
Song Hui took the map and said: “Didn't I just say that most of the things Zheng Guo has? I really don't see why it's necessary to keep this Zheng Guo. Why don't you just hand it over? You make up a third of the land, and another two thirds is no big deal. ”
Thousand nights didn't see that Song Hui was still a complete war maniac. It's just that he has promised Nan Ruhuai to make him King Zheng, and before Nan Ruhuai had no obvious negligence or bad intentions, it was not good to abolish him like this. And the occupation is easy, but not as easy as Song Hui said. Unless he walks away after looting the city, he is likely to turn into a war of law and order.
Thousands of nights thought slightly, "Zheng Guo is so big, it's useless to occupy it all. Whatever we need will naturally be taken from the Dark Race. Prepare for full battle from now on, officially West in a week's time. In addition, the logistics guarantee is entrusted to Song Hui, who can coordinate the supply of all resources within our territory. ”
This is kind of a power grip, but Song Hui wasn't very happy. “I don't want to stay in the back, I want to fight! ”
She has bigger breasts, and it's impossible to promise her at night. Ignoring her grievance eyes, the meeting was adjourned after arranging other personnel and realigning the right to lead.
