Chapter 418: Insult
The Volga River, located in the southwest of Russia, with a total length of 3,700 kilometers, is the longest river in Europe and the longest inland river in the world, flowing into the Caspian Sea.
Vitas chose to establish a state in the upper reaches of this river, because the river connects up and down, connecting the Siberian Plain in the east, Central Asia in the south, and Western European countries in the west.
He originally wanted to occupy the Caspian Sea, but he did not want the Zov Rome on the west side of the Caspian Sea to be stronger than him, so he had to retreat to the second place and occupy the Aral Sea to the east.
Occupying the Aral Sea naturally could not be satisfied, he valued the big man.
So there were the first two attacks, the first loss of 100,000 men and horses, for a poor place, not worth it, so the gun was adjusted, through the Siberian plain, from the east, invaded the Han.
As a result, this time it was even worse, with a loss of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the number one general Popov was directly beheaded, and he was not even given a chance to beg for mercy.
Vitas lost 300,000 troops, and the Imperial army was removed by more than half, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Looking at the bullet casings brought back by the survivors, Vitas fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that someone activated the mid-tech tree? In the Han Dynasty? This upsets the balance, no, we have to find the reason! ”
Vitas was in a hurry.
Of course, it is not excluded that someone knows the construction of the rifle, and even the size of the individual parts and the size of the bullet.
Sometimes some people are a little perverted.
With the idea of inquiring, Vitas sent personnel to enter the Han Dynasty in disguise to inquire about the news.
It is not a strange thing that there are foreigners in the Western Regions, and there are many merchants from the West, and the Western Regions are so big, it is very simple to inquire about the news.
At the end of the year, news reached the Volga Empire.
"Tractor! There was a diesel engine! ”
It's just a metamorphosis, how can a special forces soldier know the details of the production of tractors. In addition, tires need synthetic rubber, accessories need stainless steel cast iron, diesel engines need liquefied coal technology, and the size and size of various parts are definitely not possible to manufacture in the era of manpower.
Vitas concluded that Tatsukawa had activated the Intermediate Tech Tree.
This gave Vitas a sense of urgency.
Thinking of the rifle, Vitas felt that someone in the Han Dynasty had already risen, and it was no longer possible not to suppress it, so he hurriedly sent envoys to Western countries to explain the situation.
The envoys took Vitas' handwritten letter and traveled to Europe and South Asia.
Vitas believes that when others know the news, their expressions will be wonderful.

On the fourth day of October, the first National Day of Chenhe Country, every family is happy.
Yang Xi naturally celebrated with the people, but after the festival, there was news in Shuzhong that Yu Shao'a had found it.
Yu Shao'a became an important figure in Yizhou, which made Yang Xi a little speechless. There are people who mix so deeply in their own team.
However, this incident cannot be avoided, and it will not affect the general trend.
If Yu Shao'a appeared ten years ago, it would have brought some big trouble to Yang Xi, but now it is harmless.
Yang Xi's current focus is on his locomotive.
It is expected that in a little more than a month, the first locomotive will be born.
The carriage was prepared half a month ago, the train carriage is very simple, in order to wave the maximum efficiency of the train, Yang Xi did not produce the carriage for carrying people for the time being, all of them are wagon bodies, and within two years, it is estimated that they are mainly pulling goods.
The first real locomotive was basically hand-built, from its multi-ton diesel engine working group to the bogie, axles, wheels, body, and hooks.
After several experiments, Yang Xi has always been dissatisfied, but there is no way, there is no motor set at this time, to make the diesel engine transition from a static state to a working state, it is necessary to rotate the crankshaft of the motor with external force, so that the piston makes reciprocating motion, and the combustible mixture in the cylinder burns and expands to work, and pushes the piston to move downward to rotate the crankshaft. The motivation can run on its own, and the work cycle can be automatic.
Just like a tractor, you still need a person to shake it with a crank to start, which is nothing for others, they have never seen an electric lighter that can be started with a twist, but Yang Xi is different, Yang Xi feels very embarrassed.
This problem can't be solved for a while, there is no way, you can only be wronged, first deal with it like this, and when there is time next year, Yang Xi will make the electric starting motor, which can be combined with the diesel engine, which is the real steel age.
However, the diesel engine has a feature, that is, it does not need to ignite, if you want to use electronic ignition, it is more troublesome.

North, Buyeo.
In May, due to the great victory, the Buyeo Kingdom got more than 30,000 guns, and there was a move to exchange land for guns, and Gongsun Kang even got 70,000 muskets, and his confidence was sufficient.
Fortunately, the third princess married Jian Xian, the commander of the Daxianbei City Theater, the fourth princess and the Ling Tong of the Buyu Independent Regiment, and the eldest prince also married the sister of Buqi.
Gongsun Kang swelled.
After buying 50,000 guns from the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and 70,000 muskets from defeating the Volga Empire, he didn't think that his gunpowder was a grade lower or had any disadvantages, and he wanted to argue with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce again.

At the end of the year, Chenheguo made another big news, the locomotive was officially put on the track, a locomotive, actually pulled 30 wagons, at a degree of 150 kilometers per hour, from Wuchang to Chaisang, it took four hours.
Yang Xi felt that this strength was normal, the early steam locomotives could pull fifteen to twenty knots, and the internal combustion engine must be more.
The locomotive of the steam engine was recorded at a limit of 2o3 km/h, but that only pulled six passenger cars, which is equivalent to ten freight cars.
The name of the first locomotive and the carrying number, take the Chenhe Republic, hand in hand to forge ahead.
Cao Cao suddenly felt that his manpower rail car was scrap copper and rotten iron.
The human-powered railcar can carry 5,000 sheep at a time, 40 per hour, and the train can carry 100,000 sheep at a time, 15 per hour.
The front of the second-hand rickshaw that I just bought, the wheels were not yet hot, and I was proud, Yang Xi hit me with a stick, and Cao Cao was going crazy.
Liu Bei laughed in Shuzhong, he only asked for eight car heads, Cao Cao was good, and asked for as many as twenty-five.
This is the legendary fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.
Liu Bei could laugh because Yu Shao'a told him that as long as Liu Bei could buy a tractor, he could make it himself, and even build a larger road car.
More powerful, of course, is the truck, the truck is not an upgraded version of the tractor, Yang Xi No. 1 car factory is testing.
As for diesel, from the transmitted information, Yu Shao'a can understand at a glance that the coal liquefaction method is only.
Liu Bei was happy, but Cao Cao was ready to do it.
Cao Cao couldn't stand this insult anymore, and finally made up his mind.
Jia Xu said: "If the king wants to make a move, he must preempt people, and he cannot act alone. The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is strong, but its strength is all in the south, Daxianbei City only has 130,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Buyeo Independent Regiment, there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses. The king could send people to connect with Gongsun Kang, and the two families joined forces to break the Bohai Fleet and cut off the water passage connecting it with the south. In this way, the Great Xianbei City is a lonely city, with the power of the king, Budugen, and Gongsun Kang, and 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the Great Xianbei City will become a turtle in the urn. ”
Jia Xu's plan is indeed exquisite, Cao Cao can only think about it, the Bohai Fleet now has 300 warships, and its strength is strong, but it should not be underestimated.
After several years of secret construction, Cao Cao also had 200 warships, and purchased 50 warships from the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, which was almost equal in strength, and there were 200 small warships, which were on par with the Bohai Fleet on the surface. Gongsun Kang also bought fifty warships, and the two sides attacked, and if he was taken by surprise, he would definitely be able to severely damage the Bohai Fleet of the Chenhe State and gain the right to control the sea.
At the same time, if the two sides break through the Great Xianbei City, they can wave their troops south, unite with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, defend the southern front, and fight Yang Xi for victory.
