Chapter 656: Ironclad Ship
The first national war was initiated by the Fuso region, while the second was initiated by players from the North American region.
Originally, Mu Han and the others already had a new national war scroll, but because they were not ready, it was set for more than a month later.
"It seems that we must go to Yizhou Island first, and send another 50,000 troops over."
Mu Han decided to strengthen the defense of Yizhou Island.
"You have to put a few chariots in Yizhou."
Naturally, the battleships over there were fine, but the tanks were not.
Although there are tens of thousands of troops now, some of them can only defend the city, and the two territories that can fight are probably only 30,000 troops.
Of the three cities, there are 100,000 people who defend the city of Yizhou Island, all of which are elites, and although tens of thousands of troops have been formed, there are only about 30,000 who can fight.
If this is after hundreds of thousands of foreign troops arrive in Yizhou, in addition to Taipei City, only the armies of Wanwanwei No. 1 and No. 2 cities can be used.
These two territories are still at the level of fifth-level villages, with a population of tens of thousands.
These two territories, together with the population that Muhan had supported in the past, added up to a total of 30,000 troops.
"We have to let Wanbei City recruit another 100,000 troops, and if there is really an enemy coming, it will be able to support in time."
Originally, there were already 100,000 troops, and another 100,000 were recruited, and Mu Han felt that in such a situation where the enemy could not reach on a large scale, Yizhou Island could be fully defended, at least until his own army rushed over to support.
In addition to bringing the army over to Yizhou this time, Mu Han wanted to bring a few chariots that had already been built.
There are only a few combat vehicles, mainly for them to practice tactics.
If you have a chariot, you have to be able to use it, and you have to train many soldiers who can use it, and let the army cooperate, so that it can play the greatest role.
When Mu Han builds more and has enough chariots, he can better defend at that time.
Just go, now hundreds of thousands of players in North America are also going out to fight the national war, and there is a heated discussion on the forum, and Mu Han also pays attention to it every day.
The strength of players in North America is also very strong, with hundreds of thousands of troops killing and attacking cities.
Nowadays, it seems that the national war has become the mainstream.
And the most important thing for Mu Han now is to develop a few territories first, and have the strength to protect himself.
After arriving in Yizhou, Mu Han began to arrange.
The two territories, Wanwanwei No. 1 and No. 2, Mu Han has now begun to build the city wall.
The city wall is planned to be very large, larger than the general five-level county seat, and the scope is larger.
But now it's just a matter of laying the foundation, preparing to build a little bit of a low wall first, delineating the scope first, and then planning the rest.
As for the city walls, it is not so easy to build, and it takes months or even a year to build.
After arriving in Yizhou, Mu Han handed over the money, currency and army to Liu Renliang.
"General Liu, now you can't let your development slowly, you have to explode development, what do you think?" Mu Han asked.
"Lord, if you have money, you can do things, on this island, except for some pillar industries, the rest of the industries are not developed, and manpower is used to develop the military." Liu Renliang said.
"Okay, then go all out to build the city wall, build the two small villages into a county-like city wall, and leave some foundation for the rest except for the military industry."
Mu Han's all-out development of the military does not mean that he has to give up others, other industries are economic sources, since this island is to make money, it is not advisable to blindly invest.
"One year is limited, after one year, or after the city wall is built, it will return to normal and develop the rest of the industry.
Now Mu Han can invest a lot of money, but he must make money in the end.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will make this an impregnable base as soon as possible."
Liu Renliang is confident, he has money and people now, and he can't do anything.
Now the two satellite territories add up to just over 400,000 people, but he can transfer some people from Wanbei City.
These people could not participate in the war, but they could help build cities and develop the economy.
Mu Han stayed on Yizhou Island for ten full days.
Ten days is enough time for him to understand a lot of things, and he has great confidence in the entire Bay North City, as long as he is given time, the entire island will be firmly in his hands.
Ten days later, Mu Han left Wanbei City and returned to Jiulong County.
After arriving in Jiulong County, Mu Han began to make final preparations.
Today, more than a dozen combat vehicles have been produced.
As soon as he went back, Liu Bowen came to him urgently.
"Good news, good news, great news, my lord."
It must be a very happy thing to make Liu Bowen so happy.
"Sir, why are you so pleased?"
"It's made, it's made."
"Shipyards have built warships made of steel."
It's done, Mu Han was shocked, and immediately said, "Take me to see." ”
This is too important, a battleship that can be made of steel will really be a strong ship and a sharp cannon at that time.
"Lord, I just built a thousand-ton test ship, although it is a test ship, but it is of great significance."
A thousand tons, even if it can be used, Mu Han will not be equipped in the fleet, but it is indeed of great significance.
When I arrived at the port, several masters and a grandmaster were there.
"Lord, we've finally built our first test ship."
Mu Han was overjoyed and said to everyone, "Great, I will ask Mr. Liu Bowen to give everyone a reward." ”
Then Mu Han had to board the ship himself.
Go up in person and let the soldiers drive the boat.
The speed of this battleship didn't make much of a difference, it was about the same speed as the previous ships.
"Lord, this power plant has been strengthened, and the formation is a little stronger, using the formation of a three-thousand-ton warship."
I see, after a craftsman explained, Mu Han understood that this ironclad ship was much heavier, so it needed more powerful power.
After going around the sea, the overall performance is good, very stable.
The battleship was equipped with two catapults, but Mu Han did not let the soldiers test it.
After going back, Mu Han once again hurried all the craftsmen over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is just a thousand-ton warship, and with this as a model, is there a way to build a five-thousand-ton ironclad battleship." Mu Han asked.
The Grandmaster-level shipwright stood up and said, "Lord, it is completely possible to build a larger warship, 5,000 tons is not a problem, and even if there are drawings of 10,000 tons, it can be built." ”
"Okay, then let's build it with all our might, but how much time will it take, and how many ships can be built at one time?"
The Grandmaster Shipwright pondered and calculated.
After a long time, he said, "Lord, with all your strength, you can build one in about a year, and you can build three at the same time, but this requires almost all the masters and senior shipwrights, so there is no way to build a five-thousand-ton wooden ship." ”
"Then build two first, and the rest of the craftsmen will continue to build wooden boats, and at the same time train more craftsmen."
