Chapter 194: Cannon Workshop
The two left the castle under the escort of the guards, and left through the side gate of the castle without any notice, heading straight for the First Arsenal of Fort Lemlos outside the city.
After about half an hour of driving, the carriage finally arrived outside the gate of the arsenal.
"When did the arsenal expand?" Murphy looked at the magnificent arsenal in front of him, which covered a huge area, the cement on both sides of it, the pumping circle left by Carolen, and a large number of blanks, and said that this large factory was still expanding
"About a week ago!, Jeffrey, the head of the Arsenal, submitted an expansion request to the City Hall, saying that the size and capacity of the existing Arsenal could not fully consume the large amount of steel sent by the steel mill, nor could it supply the large amount of steel sent by the front line. Because the front line was at war at that time, His Highness convened the representatives of the public in accordance with the emergency meeting bill in the constitution, and considering that the standard of serving the needs of the front line was the standard, the emergency meeting quickly approved the request from the side of the arsenal, and also took out Mr. Carolen's pumping circle and new building materials concrete, and sent a construction team to help it expand. But we never expected it......"
"I didn't expect the front line to defeat the Lieje so quickly?" asked Murphy with a smile on his lips.
"Yes, I didn't expect the rebels to be so unbearable, just a few rounds of artillery bombardment, they have completely lost their combat effectiveness and are in a mess. We're still starting to produce in the rear!" Arthas shook his head and smiled bitterly, mocking a wave of rebels by the way.
"Those rebels are just a mess of sand, it's okay to bully other nobles, but when they run into us, they are doomed. Murphy said confidently.
"Your Highness, please come here!" Arthas made a gesture of please, and led Murphy to enter through the gate.
The two walked towards the gate over there, but were stopped by security guards at the gate.
"Stop!
The security guard looked a little familiar to the two people in front of him, but the arsenal was not something that could be easily mixed in with a familiar place, it had strict rules and regulations.
"This is a special pass for the town hall, I am Mayor Alsace, and next to me is His Royal Highness Murphy, our lord and secretary of the city council. ”
Arthas took out two documents from his bag, which were special passes for him and Murphy, which allowed him to enter and exit all the important places in the territory, and were usually stored in the fifth-level magic safe in the mayor's office of the city hall
There are only five people in the whole city who have this kind of pass, which shows the high degree of authority.
The security guard took the two passes handed over by Arthas, and when he heard Arthas's words, he was shocked and looked at the two in surprise.
"You ...... You are!" He was speechless in shock.
"Your Highness and I are here to inspect the arsenal, don't be stunned! we have to go through the process!" Alsace smiled kindly, looking very close to the people.
"Oh oh!" the security guard reacted to Arthas's words, and carefully checked the documents, feeling the special magic insignia on the special pass that could not be faked, and the identity of the two Rao could be determined.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Mayor!" the security guard saluted the two of them respectfully and handed them back to Arthas.
"You don't have to be so polite, just do your job well!" Murphy waved his hand, casually.
"Your Highness!" the security guard saluted again, watching the two Murphys enter the factory.
"The work of the arsenal is still very well done! It's just that the defense force feels a little less. After walking away, Murphy said to Arthas.
"A lot of orders!" Arthas shook his head and laughed, "There is a standing defense company stationed near the arsenal, even if war breaks out, there will be people stationed here, and the sentry at the gate in addition to the sentry you just saw, there are also three secret sentry guards, supervising all the whereabouts of the main gate, and you forgot? There is also a large legal circle of early warning and defense set up by Lord Carolon at the bottom of this area! If anything happens, the army and police will arrive at any time!"
When it came time to reach the circle, Arthas stomped his foot.
"Yes, we don't need such cumbersome defense methods, our army and police are the best guarantee. Murphy nodded.
"We're here!"
The distance from the gate to the factory building of the arsenal was not close, and the two walked for four or five minutes after chatting and walking.
Jeffrey, the head of the arsenal, had already noticed the two, and he recognized Murphy and Arthas at a glance, and hurriedly went down with a few key cadres to greet them.
"Jeffrey, manager of the militia factory, has met His Highness, has met the mayor. ”
"Your Highness Albert has seen Mr. Alsace. ”
As soon as they arrived at the door, Jeffrey and Alberg were already in the middle of the aisle.
This Geoffrey had previously been the head of a large caravan in the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, and he was a careful and shrewd man, and was recommended by Arthas's father to take charge of the Arsenal, and was in charge of revenue and trade issues.
At the same time as sending Jeffrey to the post, Murphy also ordered the Knights of Albert to serve as political commissar, working with Jeffrey to take charge of the production and manufacturing of the arsenal.
"Don't be nervous, the two of us are here to see our Remlos Fort support forces. Murphy and Arthas looked at each other, then smiled.
"I see, Your Highness, you should have said hello in advance, we didn't have time to prepare at all, I'm afraid we're going to let you see the joke!" Knight Alberg smiled bitterly, and Murphy's "surprise attack" caught the two of them off guard.
"What's the point of seeing the joke? So that you can see the Arsenal in its most normal state! Wouldn't it be unreal if you were to put on a show? Let's go, let's go! Let me tell me about the current situation in the Arsenal. ”
Murphy didn't care, and the two of them went straight to the door.
"Your Highness is waiting for the two of us!" Jeffrey pulled Alberg and chased after him, and the cadres who came with him also hurriedly followed.
"Our arsenal now covers an area of one hundred and fifty hectares, has four factories, has twenty-four large assembly lines, and we now have nearly six thousand workers working in the factory, the third largest of all the factories in Rayburg, and the scale of the plant is second only to the steel mill and the machine-building plant. Jeffrey walked around Murphy about the large factory.
"Four of the factories are responsible for the production of different blocks, which are mainly divided into cannon production area, firearms production area, ammunition production area and explosives production area. After two or three months of continuous experimentation, the arsenal made several new weapons, passed the production standards, and began large-scale production, and even some weapons were favored by the Security Service and have been put into service with the police force. ”
"Let's go see how the cannon is going first!" said Murphy.
