It is important to understand the limitations of your current life, to live life to the fullest, and then to see how you can overcome these limitations.

In the next two years, the goal of the military development of the city of Rome is to ensure that each Roman legion has its own auxiliary legion, that is, to become a composite legion that can take charge of large-scale battles.

The Tuntian Legion and the Town Guard, which are equivalent to the reserve army of the Roman city, must ensure that at least half of the soldiers of each Tuntian Legion or Town Guard have received systematic special training, and that all soldiers who have received systematic special training must be equipped with more sophisticated standard weapons and equipment.

At this stage, the weapons and equipment used by the Tuntian Legion and the Town Guard are not the weapons and equipment produced by the Equipment Manufacturing Center of the Roman City, let alone the standard weapons and equipment of the youth army or heavy infantry produced by the armor shop of the Roman City, but some weapons and equipment captured from the enemy.

No matter how well these captured weapons and equipment are preserved, they cannot change their lack of sophistication, and the problem that arises from this is that whenever Bai Feng needs to transfer soldiers from the Tuntian Army to replenish the front-line field army, he needs to replace their weapons and equipment.

In addition, the large number of young men in the twenty-seven newly built towns on the north bank of the Cangluo River was also a great threat to the Tuntian Legion and the Town Guards who were about to be stationed in these towns; after all, the fierce and aggressive nature of the barbarian youth would not be easily changed.

The simplest and most direct way is to increase the overall combat effectiveness of the Tuntian soldiers and the guards and to arm them with more sophisticated weapons and equipment.

Otherwise, in the long run, the unruly barbarian townsmen will not only limit the Tuntian Legion and the Town Guard to the vicinity of the town, affecting the military mobilization ability of the Roman city, but may also cause uncontrollable chaos and shake the rule of the Roman city.

In order to avoid this worst-case scenario, Bai Feng had to train the soldiers of the Tuntian Legion and the Town Guard in a planned way, and at the same time replace them with better weapons and equipment, only in this way could they ensure that they could suppress the barbarian youth who believed in the 'respect of the strong'.

The Rome City Equipment Manufacturing Center, which mainly produces Lenghuai longbows and crossbows, can no longer meet the needs of Rome's weapons and equipment, and the success of the Thundercloud Equipment Manufacturing Center at the Thundercloud Base has allowed Bai Feng to find a way to expand the production capacity of the Rome City Equipment Manufacturing Center.

As far as the facts are concerned, the actual production capacity of the Thundercloud Equipment Manufacturing Center, which produces 8,000 sets of Rome Youth Army-standard weapons and equipment per month, has far exceeded that of the Rome City Equipment Manufacturing Center, which produces 1,500 Lenghuai longbows and 500 crossbows per month.

Because the core swordsmiths and armor makers of the Thundercloud Equipment Manufacturing Center are all system masters recruited by Bai Feng from the armor shop in Rome City, so Bai Feng's method of expanding the Equipment Manufacturing Center in Rome City is to recruit a large number of system masters for the Equipment Manufacturing Center.

With 100 master-level armor makers, 100 master-level tailors, 200 master-level swordsmiths, and 500 skilled blacksmiths, Bai Feng, who spared no expense to expand the production capacity of the equipment manufacturing center, recruited ten times as many professional casting masters as thunderclouds for the city of Rome in one go.

Not only that, but not only that, but the tailor who made the armor of the youth army or heavy infantry, the tailor who made the leather armor of the light cavalry or light infantry, the swordsmith who forged all kinds of short swords and swords, and the blacksmith who made all kinds of battle axes, spears, and other weapons, and not only that, but Bai Feng also recruited 3,000 apprentices from various towns!

Each master with five apprentices, and each blacksmith with two apprentices, is a rule set by Bai Feng himself, in order to prepare for the further expansion of the production capacity of the equipment manufacturing center of the city of Rome in the future, you know, it is not only the Tuntian army and the town guard that lack weapons and equipment.

After putting 400 masters, 500 blacksmiths, and 3,000 apprentices into the equipment manufacturing center, plus the original 500 bow makers, 200 crossbow makers, and 1,000 arrow craftsmen in the equipment manufacturing center, the equipment manufacturing center has 5,600 craftsmen!

Imagine that in a weapon and equipment manufacturing center in the Cold Weapon Age, there were 5,600 craftsmen of all kinds forging different weapons and equipment day and night; such a huge scale even surpassed the Equipment Manufacturing Department under the Military Department of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!

After sending the Craftsmen recruited from all the armor shops and the apprentices recruited from other towns to the Equipment Manufacturing Center, which is expanding the workshop, Bai Feng temporarily appointed Jon Lao, a barbarian craftsman who was in charge of managing the Craftsmen, as the temporary head of the Equipment Manufacturing Center.

With the importance of the equipment manufacturing center of the city of Rome, after Vipsani was busy with the tedious affairs of the newly built town on the north bank of the Cangluo River, he would definitely be in charge of the city of Rome in the future.

When the equipment manufacturing center was still a bow-making workshop, the old Jon, who had made all kinds of hunting bows all his life, played a vital role in the research and development of the crossbow.

After the overall scale of the equipment manufacturing center has been expanded several times, Bai Feng has given them the production capacity index: 5,000 sets of Roman heavy infantry standard weapons and equipment per month, 5,000 sets of Roman youth army standard weapons and equipment, 20,000 sets of sword and shield suits, 5,000 Lenghuai longbows, and 1,000 crossbows!

Among them, the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry were used by Bai Feng to arm the elite infantry wing of the phalanx legion and the barbarian legion; the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army were used by Bai Feng to arm the infantry wing of the Tuntian Legion; and the longbow and crossbow were needless to say.

Almost every legion in the city of Rome will have a longbow wing, and even the newly established Tuntian legion still retains the establishment of the longbow wing, and these tens of thousands of longbowmen wear and tear no less than 2,000 longbows every month!

To this day, the number of longbows stored in Rome is only a pitiful 8,000, which is only enough to arm four standard longbow wings, and as for the crossbows, which are only equipped with the governor's guard, they are extremely fragile and fragile, and have always been a shortcoming of the crossbows.

Even though the R&D craftsmen led by Jon Sr. have replaced some of the key parts of the crossbow with parts made of stainless steel, the stability of the crossbow has not been improved, which directly leads to the high damage rate of the crossbow used by the crossbow team.

In the future of not being able to improve the stability of the crossbow structure, Bai Feng's idea of installing crossbows on a larger scale could only be achieved by expanding the production of crossbows, however, the crossbow was not the main weapon after all, so Bai Feng only slightly asked for the production of crossbows.

The sword and shield set composed of long sword, round shield, and leather armor is essentially different from the long sword, round shield, and leather armor commonly used by barbarian warriors;

Bai Feng's purpose in requesting the equipment manufacturing center to produce 20,000 sets of sword and shield sets every month was to use these more sophisticated weapons and equipment to arm the regular infantry in the barbarian legions and phalanx legions in the Roman city, as well as the armies whose loyalty was guaranteed by the two vassal kingdoms.
