Chapter 1213, indispensable mobility
Regarding the matter of university textbooks, Luo Ji first let the people from the Ministry of Education toss it by themselves.
After all, he is now in a state of battle, and he can't get off the line, and he has been promoting cultural education in the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization for many years, and most of the people in the Ministry of Education have ink in their stomachs.
In a way, it may be more appropriate for them to write textbooks than for them to do it themselves.
In this way, this matter will be written down for the time being, and then I will find an opportunity to officially toss and toss later.
Before that, Luo Ji's attention was undoubtedly more focused on the scientific and technological development of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Of course, during this period, he naturally couldn't help but care about the progress of the construction of the Great Wall in the west.
After the summer, the western border of the civilization of all worlds has become even hotter.
At this moment, on the dividing line connecting the entire western savannah and the desert, a wall has been built, which is simply exaggerated.
This city wall, with the western border as its source, spreads along the border all the way to the northwest, and now at a glance, it is almost endless, and the length has reached a rather exaggerated level.
Thousands of miles, it may not be yet, but it has been thousands of miles to say the least.
Throughout human history, the Great Wall took a long time to build.
At this time, Luo Ji's Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, with all kinds of steam-powered equipment, undoubtedly had a building power far beyond that of the original Celestial Empire.
This powerful architectural force is destined for his construction efficiency, and at the same time, it is also destined that this Great Wall built by their civilization of all worlds will definitely be stronger and taller than the one in history!
At the construction site beneath the walls, a large number of shirtless, hard-hatted construction workers and steam equipment are doing heavy work.
The construction of the Great Wall required a large amount of stone, which would be supplied by the nearest quarries, processed and then pulled to the border by a steam train that was responsible for transporting the stone, and then transported to this side.
There is no doubt that the amount of manpower and material resources spent will be astronomical.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is currently the largest construction project of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds!
Confirming the latest construction progress on the side of the Great Wall, Luo Ji closed the report in his hand, and according to the latest assessment of the construction efficiency and cycle by the engineering team, the calculation result was that before the winter of the next year, his Great Wall would officially reach the level of 'Ten Thousand Miles', and directly cover the entire western realm!
At this moment, Luo Ji was faintly excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait for that day.
What must be mentioned here is that the length of the Great Wall is built by the player freely, as long as you want, you can build a Great Wall of 100,000 miles, after all, if you want to wrap a whole piece of the Central Plains into it, the length must be more than 10,000 miles.
But under this premise, in fact, as long as the standard of '10,000 miles' is reached, the effect of the five-star man-made wonder of the Great Wall will be triggered.
After that, the longer you build, the greater the range of effects.
Luo Ji's ambition is to shroud the entire Central Plains under the effect of the Great Wall, so that his civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds will be impregnable!
And according to Luo Ji's own simple estimate, this wave, he may really have to build a 100,000-mile Great Wall!
Thinking of this, his whole person couldn't help but become even more excited.
In this way, time flies, and during this period, the Ministry of Military Affairs, led by Guo Jia, chief of the General Staff, jointly sent a report requesting that 'horsemanship' be added to every soldier's daily training.
In the original civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, ordinary infantry did not need to practice riding skills at all.
On the one hand, there is naturally no need, and on the other hand, there are not so many war horses and money.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this were to be done, the army's military spending would have to at least triple every year.
Although it is a civilized finance, this money is not blown by the wind, even if it is a civilization of all worlds, you have to weigh it if you want to do it.
Guo Jia is undoubtedly aware of this, but he naturally has his reasons for making such a request at such a time.
And this reason, at the back of the report, is also clearly written.
Naturally, the efficiency of the steam train is far greater than that of horseback riding.
But the problem is that the steam train is flawed, it can only travel along the tracks, between the two cities, relatively speaking, it lacks the convenience of free movement.
At the same time, actions outside the border must also be taken into account.
Outside the borders, there are no steam trains for them to ride.
So even now, it is still undeniable that war horses are still an indispensable and important driving force.
In order to maintain a strong enough support efficiency in such an unexpected situation, it is necessary for the soldiers to practice riding and allocate a large number of war horses to the army.
I have to say that Guo Jia's consideration is reasonable.
But all the staff are equipped with war horses, which is really unworthy.
According to this arrangement, nearly 150,000 or more war horses are needed in the border fortresses alone, where can this be afforded?
At the same time, this issue will also involve various departments within the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively summoned all his subordinates, including Guo Jia, Lu Yang, and Ye Hua, to discuss this matter.
After all, if this thing wants to be successful, it depends on whether the funds and resources are allocated, and this part has to involve various other departments in the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this point, any big action will affect the whole body!
Luo Ji gathered several of his important ministers, and after a meeting for nearly a day, all parties finally agreed to allow 'riding training' to be added to the daily training of every soldier, so that every soldier can have the ability to ride a horse.
However, after all, war horses are different from ordinary horses, and it is impossible to configure war horses with all staff.
If this is forcibly done, it is estimated that the exaggerated military expenses for raising those war horses and training cavalry every quarter will be able to drag down the finances of civilization.
In this way, in terms of the number of war horses, concessions must be made.
At the same time, it is precisely in response to this issue that the military led by Guo Jia and the civil servants led by Lu Yang and Ye Hua can be said to have been arguing for a whole afternoon.
In the end, it was Luo Ji, who was dizzy, slapped his big hand and made a thorough decision to allow each military region fortress to be equipped with 6,000 war horses.
Being able to send 6,000 mobile troops to help anytime and anywhere is already considered a high configuration.
If there is really any emergency, 6,000 heavily armed soldiers riding war horses to rush to the rescue, how can they cope with the arrival of follow-up reinforcements!
