Chapter 275: Strengthening the Eastern Crusade
Ye Tong inspected the continent, it was really big. There are many tribes. The language is not understood, and the technology is backward. In another time and space, it was enslaved by Europeans.
"General, in fact, it is still feasible to make a move against that continent. Our navy can follow the model of South Asia City and West Asia City, first find a good port and build a city. With docks and cities, trade can be carried out. ”
Ye Tong nodded, thinking that he could think about it.
At this time, there was no concept of the state, and no one cared about occupying the last piece of land at will. Besides, it can't be managed.
Once the city and wharf were built and the trade of goods was carried out, contact with the local natives could be made very quickly. When the time comes, let the geologists explore the area.
It is then mined and transported back to the Empire for smelting.
The empire valued resources such as rubber, coffee, and minerals. The territory empire doesn't care very much, the empire has a lot of land resources in its hands, as long as there is a population, it can be developed and utilized.
"This suggestion can be studied and let the military cabinet, navy, cabinet and other departments come up with a specific plan. After all, the human resources and materials involved are a bit large, and the cabinet must agree to do so. Actually, the key is the merchants, and the merchants have to be brought together. ”
If you want to trade, you can't do without merchants. The only way to do this was to bring the merchants together and let them trade with the natives in the local city.
The construction of a city must involve a lot of industrial layout. It's impossible to send supplies from within the empire to build it!
"Got it, General."
"Lin Xiao, don't worry! This matter will be slowed down, and the navy will implement it after Mu Guiying takes over the Eastern Continent. ”
Lin Xiao nodded, knowing the situation in the empire. On the surface, the empire still has troops to mobilize, but in fact, there are really not many troops left. After all, to guard against the northwest, you have to defend it with heavy troops. Maudun must not be allowed to take advantage of it.
In the northwest, the two corps of the empire were contained, and in the south, there was the Hanshin corps. There are only a few troops left in the empire.
"Yes!"
After a brief introduction, Ye Tong learned about Lin Xiao's fleet in the East China Sea. There are too many places to manage, and there are still not enough battleships!
"Lin Xiao, it means that the Imperial Navy should add 1,000 tons --- 2,000 tons of frigates, and cruisers and battleships can lag behind, is that so?"
"That's right! General, the empire is too big, there are too many islands, and troops must be stationed in many places. If there are no warships patrolling, even if you get the island, you won't be able to keep it! ”
Ye Tong nodded in approval, it is true. The population of the empire is too small to be fully developed. There is really a problem with no patrols.
"Lin Xiao, the Navy can make a report on this matter and send it to the military cabinet, and then implement it after filing it with the Armaments Department. How many frigates the Navy needs must be clarified, and it is not possible to just give a general idea, which will not work. ”
"Yes!"
"Lin Xiao, General Ben heard that a series of warships have been built in the Ship Mooring Research Institute. You'd better check it out and decide when you discuss it. ”
There is a ship berthing research institute in Dingjun Mountain, and each shipyard also has a battleship design institute. Both are departments that develop and research military warships, but the focus of attention is different.
"That, General, the toys designed in the research institute, in fact, the last general has seen them, and some of the toys are really well designed."
Hehe!
"Lin Xiao, what you see is steam power! Now the complete revision has begun to use the internal combustion engine as the power. ”
"General, do you mean that the power of our internal combustion engine has been greatly improved?"
After several years of research and development, the Imperial internal combustion engine has changed dramatically. Under Tesla's auspices, a breakthrough was made in the research.
The role of a scientific leader is huge, you don't need Tesla to pay attention to it from time to time, you just need to give some suggestions when there are problems, and the research progress will be very fast.
A scientific leader like Tesla, with a wide range of knowledge and profound knowledge, and many fields involved, is incomparable to other scientific leaders, and has a great effect on the scientific and technological progress of the empire.
The Qin Empire had two chief scientists, and the other scientists only made outstanding contributions in one aspect. Huang Yueying and Tesla are different, they are real cross-field research, and they can also achieve outstanding results.
Hehe!
"Yes! Thanks to the efforts of Tesla and others, the power of the Imperial internal combustion engine has been greatly improved. Now the locomotives and warships of the empire are basically powered by internal combustion engines. The original steam engine locomotive has been phased out. ”
Lin Xiao was surprised!
Don't say that Lin Xiao sighed, even Ye Tong didn't expect that the technology would progress so fast. You must know that the empire has only been ten years from Chu and Han to the present, and in ten years, the empire has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It took only a few years to make the leap from the age of the steam engine to the age of electricity. Remember that in another time and space, it took hundreds of years to enter the age of electricity from the age of steam engines.
Once we enter the age of electricity, technology undergoes qualitative changes. All kinds of new technologies emerged one after another, and all kinds of new materials emerged one after another, until the advent of the information age.
Although Goldfinger invented the steam engine, it stagnated. For decades, it was just to make the steam engine the power and Jenny to come out, and the power was not big enough.
In fact, the reason restricting the development of the steam engine is the development of the iron and steel industry, without good steel, it is impossible to produce a steam engine with superior performance.
The Qin Empire is different, the steel industry has always been a key industry and has been focused on.
"General, the Empire's technological progress is really fast!"
Hehe!
"Lin Xiao, don't be emotional! Didn't General Ben ask you to instill knowledge in the core car of Dingjun Mountain? If you don't instill knowledge, everyone will fall behind. The same is true of naval warfare, which, due to technological advances, brings about a change in tactics.
Don't just keep your eyes on battleships, battleships are obsolete equipment and can only be temporarily transitioned. The Reich has already begun to work on aircraft carriers, and that's the key project. As long as the aircraft carrier is installed, it will almost reach the peak of naval warfare. ”
Lin Xiao shrugged his arms and teased: "General, it seems that the last general really has to take time to go to Dingjun Mountain, otherwise he will be outdated." ”
"Yes, I should go. Zhou Yu has already instilled knowledge, but your kid has not returned to Dingjun Mountain for several years. You must know that the knowledge that Dingjun Mountain has is not something you can imagine. ”
After the upgrade of the core base car of Dingjun Mountain, Lin Xiao has not returned to Dingjun Mountain. I think I'm already very good at naval warfare, but in fact, it's all rough tactics. This is not how real naval warfare is played, it is an air-sea integrated operation.
"By the way, General, when our fleet reached the east side of the Eastern Continent, we found a lot of islands there. At present, the Marine Corps is taking over, but it is too far away from the empire, and I am afraid that it cannot be guaranteed! ”
The island that Ye Tong clearly said was an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Close to Europe, far from the Empire. If you want to hold it, you must have a strong navy.
"Don't worry, take it over first, and after the Zebra Canal is dug up, the empire will form a fleet on the east side of the Eastern Continent to guard the islands on the sea."
"General, that sea is very large, close to the southern part of the periphery, there are countless islands, and in the north, there are also countless islands. There are also some islands connected to the Arctic Ocean, and the climate is abnormal, so it is not easy to defend! ”
To be honest, Ye Tong has never been there, so it is impossible to understand it so clearly. The original Ye Tong had never even been to the earth, how could he know the geography and landforms on the earth.
"Lin Xiao, do you have any good suggestions for the Navy?"
"General, as you said, digging through the Zebra Canal is the key. The most important thing is to take over the South District along with the Eastern Continent. The islands near the Arctic Ocean can only be erected first, and you don't need to spend too much thought on it. ”
Sooner or later, the South Zone will be discovered by the Europeans, that's for sure. The problem is that the takeover of the Eastern Continent has not yet ended, and with the addition of the southern area, it is really a bit unbearable.
The Marines did not have many troops, and the two fleets combined amounted to 100,000 men. Even if Zhou Yu's South China Sea Fleet was asked to transfer a large number of marines, it would not solve the difficulties.
"Lin Xiao, we still have to wait until the Fourth Corps takes over the Eastern Continent, there are no extra troops now."
"Okay!" Lin Xiao then asked, "General, what if you encounter a European warship on the sea?" ”
At this time, the Europeans were opening up with Maudun, and there was time to explore. At most, the battleships of the Niu Niu family are coming, and the warships of other empires should not appear.
"No matter what kind of warship it is, if it touches it on the sea, it can be sunk. Besides, can't the Navy fly the Skull Battle Flag? ”
Yes!
You know, flying the skull battle flag, that's a pirate.
The national navy acts as a pirate, and Niu Niu's family is the favorite. The Qin Imperial Navy has never done that kind of thing, and if it really wants to do it, it is always unsteady.
"Of course, it doesn't have to be a pirate, it's just a metaphor. The Qin Empire's navy did not necessarily pretend to be pirates. However, there are some things that are inconvenient for the Navy to take action, and it is still feasible to change the mode of operation. ”
"General, understood!"
"Lin Xiao, it seems that the East China Sea Fleet has taken over so many islands, but there are not many prisoners?"
Depressed!
Really depressed!
The East China Sea Fleet took over a large number of islands, and there has been no substantial gain on the issue of capture. Lin Xiao was very angry, but there was no way to solve it.
"General, there is no one on those islands except for a few wild beasts!"
Hehe!
"General Ben still thinks you clicked the prisoners?"
"General, how is it possible! The last general will understand the importance of captivity. Besides, the more prisoners, the more military exploits, and the higher the soldiers' income, who would be stupid to cut down prisoners! ”
Next, Ye Tong sent a telegram to Dingjunshan, asking Dingjunshan to arrange the production of airships and super-large airships as soon as possible, and Ye Tong placed an order for 200 ships in one go.
200 airships, a lot of money indeed. There are more than 200 airships in service, and they are still of different tonnages and sizes.
At the same time, Ye Tong told Dingjun Mountain to send water conservancy engineers and geological experts to wait for Zebra to come, and the empire should explore the Zebra Canal, and then design a route before the excavation can begin.
To be honest, the excavation of the Zebra Canal is a huge project, and there are not a few years to dig it well. The point is that a railway has to be built, and it only makes sense to excavate the Zebra River if the railway is connected.
