428 The disparity in technology generation

[The host will have a full set of equipment and technical reserves for extracting and refining oil completely autonomously, and military trucks can be used to carry infantry and tow artillery, but will need gasoline to power it.]

At the same time, as an epoch-making emperor-level authority escalation, the host will receive two major ironclad ships gifted by the Total War System for free - the Dingyuan Ship and the Zhenyuan Ship.

The staffing of the two warships is similar to that of history, but all the members of the ironclad ship are fully loyal to the host, and have skilled ship maneuvering and combat capabilities, so the host is requested to choose its own landing location.

The rest of the supporting free production lines and technicians have been fully upgraded and updated in the base outside the city of Kyiv, and the host can go for acceptance.

Emperor-level authority no longer counts the number of enemy troops annihilated in a single battle, but is based on the occupation of territory as the only criterion, and the host can obtain a national prestige reward for each time it occupies a certain area of territory and establishes a ruling regime loyal to the host, and when the host unifies Europe, in addition to obtaining national prestige, it can also extend its life for 100 years.

All inhabited continents are ruled, and the host can gain an additional lifespan bonus, with a special effect of eternal youth.

At the price, the host will temporarily lose the ability to reproduce, but it is possible for the host to break this barrier in the future, and after unifying the world, the host will get a 'surprise'.

After occupying the territory, you can still gain personal reputation, and when the host's personal reputation reaches 1 million, you can open the dominant-level permission, and all technological barriers will be completely broken!

By consuming the prestige of the country, you can light up the technology tree, which has the production lines and technical reserves of all weapons and equipment on land, sea and air before the end of World War II.

Of course, the host can also save the prestige of the country, do not light up the technology tree, all of which are used to exchange for four types of conventional troops, and after the unification of the world to unlock the dominant-level authority, the technology tree will no longer be meaningful, and the host can theoretically recruit all military technology weapons and equipment. 】

After Hong Tiancheng was promoted to the emperor-level authority, he exchanged two standard infantry divisions of the Taiping Army, 200 grenadier groups, 200 Makqin heavy machine gun groups, and 20 75mm rapid-fire gun groups, which just spent 10 points of national prestige.

After exchanging these arms, Hong Tiancheng did not rush to launch a direct attack, but spent more than a year integrating the various production workshops and technicians given by the all-out war system, and exploring oil producing areas in Russia, establishing oil refining plants, and establishing a complete set of oil trust production process industrial bases in the later Baku oil-producing areas, which could stably provide Hong Tiancheng's army with a steady stream of fuel.

At the same time, a large number of cheap military trucks continued to be manufactured, and the Taiping army raised a large number of human resources in the country and began to build official roads on a large scale that could be used by cars for rapid passage.

Moreover, the production workshops where the Total War system was realized were made day and night by Maxim heavy machine guns, grenadiers, 75mm rapid-fire guns, and even ammunition for Mauser and Hanyang-made rifles.

Knowing the dependence of modern warfare on the logistics system, Hong Tiancheng would rather watch the rest of the continent slowly recover from the wounds of war, and also make ammunition and refine fuel to reserve strategic materials.

It was not until the middle of 1680 that the Taiping Army, which had been preparing for war for nearly two years, finally completed the ammunition reserves for several large-scale wars!

From 1648 to the present, Hong Tiancheng's age has long changed from an ignorant urban youth to an old man, but under the magical auxiliary effect of the all-out war system, Hong Tiancheng still maintains a face of about 30 years old, the first generation of Taiping soldiers and the remaining children of the local aborigines have become adults, and under the gradual improvement of the household registration system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they have received more than ten years of patriotic and loyal army education, and these mixed-race children have become the first batch of loyal people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhao Remnant and other old people have died of old age, but Zhang Juzheng and Qianmian as hero-level figures are always alive, their lifespan is the same as Hong Tiancheng, if there is no accident, they will not really die until the day Hong Tiancheng dies.

It's a pity that Xue Taishen, Nelson and Zhao Can, these non-heroic figures, can't escape the torture of birth, old age, sickness and death, and have passed away one by one.

Now, the only old acquaintances around Hong Tiancheng are Zhang Juzheng and Qianmian, the thousand-faced tsar has become more and more entrenched in the centralized rule of the Russian Empire over time, and as for the immortality of the thousand-faced pretend, it is proclaimed by Qianmian as a 'gift from God', and in the eyes of the Russian fools, Qianmian has become the chosen emperor!

When the Russian Empire ruled all of Northern Europe and regained Siberia, pushing the border all the way to the eastern part of the Manchu Dynasty, the prestige of a thousand faces reached its peak in the Russian Empire!

Now that the Russian Empire has no hereditary feudal aristocracy, it is full of bureaucracy, large and small, theoretically, Qianmian can appoint and dismiss officials at all levels, and personal power has reached its peak, coupled with the powerful foreign aid of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, no one dares to disobey the will of Qianmian!

Under the instruction of Hong Tiancheng, Qianmian did not go on an expedition to the Manchu Empire, thousands of miles away, to find trouble with Kang Mazi, because Hong Tiancheng knew that after jumping over Siberia, the Russians only had some exiled Cossack barbarians, using obsolete arquebuses and broadsword spears, which were not many in number, and they were not the opponents of the Manchu Empire at all.

The long supply lines constrained the eastward expansion of the Russian Empire.

As a result, Thousand Faces focused on the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, and in 1680, Thousand Faces had just conquered the Kazakh region, and the Russian army was gathering strength to march on the Uzbek people.

Although the weapons of the Russian army are still at the stage of flintlock muskets, they are not something that the Central Asian peoples can resist in the era of traditional nomadic warfare.

The equipment of the Russian Empire was also the general level of science and technology in continental Europe, and only the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, and the Kingdom of France of the anti-Han alliance were equipped with Mini rifles.

The Ottoman Turks, on the other hand, outsourced a few elite units such as the Sultan's Guard.

This is the most advanced equipment in continental Europe.

As for second-tier countries such as the Republic of Germany, flintlock muskets are commonly used, and even in the newly independent countries of the Balkans, there are still a large number of cold-weapon troops in the regular army!

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was training oil and stockpiling all kinds of ammunition and other strategic materials, the speed of weapon renewal in European countries did not increase much, and the imitation Hanyang-made rifle of the British Kingdom was still in the stage of sample gun testing......

Against this background, in late 1680, the Taiping army once again launched a large-scale war!
