Chapter 96: Development Planning
"Although we have an abundance of manpower, there is still some difficulty in the face of the large-scale construction we are about to undertake, and we expect to build a main road in the garrison that will connect every city to the castle, which is no small project even if it is built according to the simple standards of wartime. ”
Kenon paused, allowing Lelouch to digest the information, and continued:
"In addition to road construction, we will also use the existing talents of the wooden fort to select a castle to build a new industrial production area, which will be three times the size of the wooden fort in the initial period and ten times the size of the wooden fort in the long term, with a total period of five years. ”
Although the wooden fort was built by Lelouch, with the development of power, the disadvantages of the wooden fort began to appear slowly, there were no high-quality coal resources nearby, and there was no fast transportation to transport coal resources over, and the northwind dense forest after years of felling, it was completely unable to afford the further development of the wooden fort.
Therefore, Lelouch re-planned the industrial zone in the territory, dividing an industrial zone into two, a heavy industrial zone and a light industrial zone, the light industrial zone is now the wooden fort, after greatly reducing the demand for heavy industry, relying only on water power and a very small amount of charcoal demand, can fully meet the current demand for light industry.
In fact, the current demand for light industry is very small, meaningless is some beer, production tools, construction materials, marching equipment, household furniture, etc., the current demand for these things is still very small, which may also have a large demand for production tools and construction materials in the short term, but in the early stage, Lelouch has prepared a large number of corresponding materials to meet the development of this immigration.
Therefore, Lelouch is more concerned about heavy industry than light industry, and the heavy industry area will choose a reasonable castle to build, with the help of the existing perfect defense system, and excellent water resources, in conjunction with the recent industrial coal, the heavy industry area will be Lelouch's view, the real sense of the industrial area, even if this can only be regarded as a near-Renaissance industrial area.
With the advance preparation of Mubao, the new industrial area has a more reasonable planning, more skilled workers, more advanced production equipment, and more mature management and production methods, and it is believed that after it is officially put into use, it will fully meet the needs of Limburg.
And only then will Lelouch be able to squander supplies without any scruples and rebuild a legion of the most powerful Terrans, and even the most powerful army in Middle-earth.
"After a period of screening, the new industrial zone was finally decided to be selected in the Bankel Castle District, where it relies on the Dragon River, the water resources are extremely rich, and Bankel, as the former Terran weapon forging station, has enough industrial infrastructure, and there is a large high-quality coal mine nearby, the scale is also large enough, he can fully meet our industrial zone construction plan, and even in the later stage there is great room for improvement. ”
Lelouch waved his hand:
"In the future, it will not be called the Bankel Castle District, it will be renamed the Bankel Industrial Zone, you may already think that the Bankel Industrial Zone in our plan is very large, but believe me, it will become the first record and feature of a new chapter in the history of Middle-earth. ”
After identifying the Bankel Industrial Zone, Kenon went on to say:
"In addition to the internal construction, our next expansion plan has also come out, although our capacity has reached the limit, but thanks to the construction of the Tuntian policy for many years, we already have a large number of temporary conscripts, after testing, in the case of completely abandoning production, we can mobilize 50,000 conscripts, but due to limited production capacity, we can only arm 30,000 people. ”
Hearing this, Lelouch was already extremely satisfied, this kind of conscription had already proven itself on the battlefield, the spear phalanx of the Battle of Baicheng, with the cooperation of other troops, showed invincible and powerful combat effectiveness, and these 30,000 troops were enough for Lelouch to face any threat.
Hearing the good things in the report one after another, Lelouch smiled rarely, and then suddenly asked:
"What is the condition of the weapons I told you to come down and make?"
Hearing Lelouch's inquiry, Kenon hurriedly said:
"The technical principle is not complicated, our iron ... The engineers have now come up with results, and after small-scale production, we can produce this weapon quickly and on a large scale, and it is also very convenient for recruits to use, as long as you order mass production, it only takes three months, and we will be able to form combat effectiveness. ”
The weapon in the mouth of Lelouch and Kenon is actually a very common crossbow on the earth, the technical requirements of this weapon are not high, and under the effect of the industrial assembly line, the production is extremely convenient, and this weapon is easy to use, once learned, it can be used as the most advantageous long-range force in the army, whether it is projectile or direct fire, he can exert good combat effectiveness.
They can even be trained a little more, because they can form a volley.
"Well, as soon as the requirements for the composite are determined, they will be put into production, and the training of conscripts can begin first, and I hope that by the spring of next year, our long-range forces will be able to form objective combat effectiveness. ”
"Yes, I'll pass it on to Mr. Liebert. ”
After Kenon wrote it down in his notebook, he said that he would convey it, after all, Kenon himself was not a military official, but only an executive officer of internal affairs.
The overall plan and planning are going according to the established procedures, and Lelouch's development will once again enter the fast lane, but this time, in addition to the normal farming and expansion of the army, Lelouch's diplomatic means have also begun to be used by Lelouch, and the victory of Fort Horn has not only brought Lelouch a foundation for his ambitions, but also officially brought Mordor the first problem, an illusion that is enough to be misunderstood by anyone.
Mordor was weakened, so weakened that the Terrans could easily defeat a hundred thousand troops with only half the force of their forces, and by the way, recapture the magnificent fortress of Fort Horn overnight.
Of course, this idea is wrong, but outsiders don't know that from the news brought by the church, it seems that the most active among them is the dwarves, and it seems that the dwarves want to take advantage of this opportunity to regain absolute control over the sacred mountains, as well as the right to complete autonomy.
Of course, Mordor noticed the restlessness of the dwarves, and in fact, even if the dwarves were deeply oppressed, but because of geographical reasons, they still retained extremely powerful strength, so Mordor would have to send a large number of troops to guard against the dwarves, and this was also the delay in the time of attacking the Terrans, which was exactly what Lelouch wanted to see, but all this was not enough, Leluch needed Mordor to be more tired and delay his attack time as much as possible, and everything, Lelouch had already found a candidate.
"My lord, His Highness Qiyan is asking to see you outside!"
