Chapter 349: Preparation for the Expedition New Invention
Ju set the strategic direction for the future, and the Union army soon began to adjust again,"
Moriel's old subordinates, Antonio the water mage and Erache the caveman, have been recalled to the Evermont Islands, as have Orison the big-eared monster. Next up is an expedition for Negan. The secret fortress beneath Bairders is of great significance to the Alliance, not only as a necessary material transfer point for the Alliance, but also as the foundry center of the Alliance because of the huge mineral deposit, with the discovery of a magical sulfur mine and a magical gem mine. The importance of the alliance here is becoming more and more prominent.
Without the assistance of Antonio and Erache, Jian Chen was a little uncomfortable about the inexperienced Orison taking on such a heavy responsibility, and this attack on Negan was an opportunity for both Pete and Orison to have a good experience. Can't let them miss it.
In order to ensure that he had no worries, Jian Chen finally assigned Ryan and Adra, two famous imperial generals and lovers, to guard the place, both of whom were experienced veterans, and believed that this important stronghold would be foolproof.
There's Sylvia at sea, so don't worry about it. The defense of the Edemmond Islands was handed over to Christine and Edride, and this is the fundamental worship of the alliance, and there is no room for error. In the Magic Advisory Group, the water magician grandmaster Tren is the key to the transportation between the Evermont Islands and Bailders, of course, he can't leave, and Malkaem was also left behind by Chen Jian to guard the Evermont Islands with Christine and others.
The administration of the island is now on the right track, and with Kosai and the others here, there is no need to worry.
And Chen Jian himself. He will take the Female Mage, Moryl, Pete, Orison, Bruce, Kaedrak and others on an expedition to Negan. The success of this operation is directly related to the future of the alliance, Chen Jian did not dare to take it lightly, he decided to go out in person, Moriel also meant this, after all, the current person in charge of the alliance is Chen Jian, she doesn't want her past subordinates to have a misunderstanding, the object of these people's allegiance in the future. It should be Jian Chen, not her. Already the queen of dragons in the past tense.
The black dragon Qiu Odoras was also transferred back from the navy, and was supplemented by other black dragons into the navy, this black dragon hero is quite famous among Negan's dragon clan, Morriel suggested to Chen Jian that at the right time, Qiu Odoras Hui can lobby and enlist the help of the dragon clan, Chen Jian of course has no opinion on this.
And the angel warriors did not accompany the expedition this time, the angels' departure was in an uproar on the mainland, and they appeared in Negan rashly, which would only cause unnecessary trouble, Chen Jian planned to let these angel warriors all join the navy, and the angels with strong combat effectiveness and flying ability were the best candidates for the Marine Corps in Chen Jian's eyes, and it was not too late for them to appear again after they gained a firm foothold in Negan.
However, Esreina stayed by Jian Chen's side with some archangel warriors with superb martial arts. The safety of the President must be ensured, and the angels are not only strong in combat, but also have the ability to resurrect. After joining the Emperor ** team, he has always been the best candidate for the personal guard of important people, and of course it is no exception in the alliance, Chen Jian originally wanted to throw the angels in the presidential guard such as Acereina into the Marine Corps, but he was strongly opposed by everyone led by the female magician, in their opinion, Chen Jian's safety is the most important. No matter what, it couldn't reduce the escort force around Jian Chen. What's more, the resurrection ability of the angels can still save Jian Chen's life in case of emergency.
Moreover, the duty of the presidential guard is only to protect Chen Jian's safety, and there are few opportunities to fight directly on the battlefield.
It is not an easy task for a large army to go on an expedition. All sorts of preparations began to unfold in an orderly manner, and the Union army was busy.
There are now five mixed infantry legions in the alliance army, and one of them that was originally directly under Chen Jian was stationed in the secret fortress of Baildus. This time, two more were left, and the legion gave Christine to guard the Evermont Islands, and it was Chen Jian who decided to take the remaining two legions, as well as the heavy cavalry legion, the archers, and some mage legions, as well as an aerial legion composed of harpies, manticores, and gargoyles, with a total number of more than 30,000 people.
With an army of 30,000 people, the logistics were also a big problem, and at this time, Little Hesfa and Dominic presented Chen Chuang with a kind of wagon of their latest invention.
Iron man-powered mechanical devices can be used on ships, and of course they can also be used on cars, and Xiao Hesfa has a good brain, and he already had such an idea when he was designing a new type of warship. After the battleship was done some time ago, he and Dominic and a group of dwarven halfling technicians turned their energies to this aspect.
It was a large wagon, with a total of eight wheels, and the huge carriage allowed it to carry three or four times the cargo of a normal horse-drawn carriage, powered by two iron men, and using a drive similar to that of an oarboat. Referring to the steering system on the ship, the cab is located in front of the truck, and the body clams are different
Under the stammering gaze of Jian Chen, Xiao Hesfa sat in the driver's seat with great vigour, while giving various instructions to the two iron men, while using a steering wheel similar to the steering wheel to control the direction of the car, and the car ran back and forth flexibly on the test square in the arsenal.
Chen Jian was completely shocked by the amazing scene he saw in front of him, he never thought that he just put forward an idea, and Xiao Hesfa could give himself such a big surprise.
In his eyes, this kind of car is simply an otherworldly version of the car! Although it is not as fast as a real car on earth, and the structure is relatively primitive, it is clear that the incredible strength of the iron men and the sturdy machine building equipment that little Hesfa has carefully built make up for these shortcomings. After the car was filled with heavy cargo. This childish wagon can still move on flat ground at a speed no less than that of an ordinary horse-drawn carriage!
And what is the role of this kind of car is not just to carry goods? It is not impossible to transform the carriage to transport troops, and no matter what, the speed of this kind of car is much faster than the two legs of a person, so that the heavy infantry can quickly enter the battlefield with full martial arts!
If you think a little deeper, change the appearance of this car, add armor, protect the cab, and use it as an armored car, with some shooting holes on it, a giant crossbow on it, and some archers or magicians in it, isn't this a powerful tank?
Such a tank must be quite effective against enemy infantry and cavalry, right? With the power of the Dragon King, he can prevent the enemy's magicians from destroying the tank, and the heavy armor of the tank is not something that ordinary swords can deal with. With tanks as the core, with infantry, cavalry, and flying classes, more tactics can be evolved. In this way, apart from behemoths like dragons, titans, and Beamon behemoths, in the plains, what army can hold back their own torrents of steel?
Thinking of how those imperial cavalry, wolf cavalry, and other armies would be deflated in front of a steel chariot with super defensive power, Chen Jian's mouth was about to laugh crookedly.
The Witches, Moryl, and the others were also stunned by Little Hesfar's wonderful performance. Can't move, everything in front of them is completely beyond their cognition, they really can't figure it out, it's just two iron men, no matter how strong they are, it's a little difficult to pull such a large cart of goods, why are they just moving a few times in the car, and the car is walking steadily?
The mechanical principles that Jian Chen said in class before were so powerful?
They didn't know what kind of huge effect this kind of car would have when it was used on the battlefield, if they knew what Jian Chen was thinking at this time. I'm afraid it will be even more shocking.
"This matter will immediately be listed as the top secret of the alliance, and all those who know must be given a gag order! In the future, the production of such vehicles will only be carried out at a specific factory! And the same with shipyards. Soldiers must be sent to this, the factory is strictly guarded, and the production of the core device can only be carried out by trustworthy people! ”
Chen Jian immediately issued a secrecy order, and the manufacturing technology of this kind of car will be the most important military secret of the alliance, just like the manufacturing technology of the Sea Dragon warship.
Maybe one day, after the unification of the world, Chen Jian will make these technologies public for people's livelihood, but now, these technologies will be transformed into the real combat effectiveness of the alliance army, of course, they cannot be leaked.
Little Hesfa obviously understands this, since the Sea Dragon Battleship was built, they have been careful to keep it secret, even Hesfa doesn't know what new things his son and Dominic are tinkering with, and the technicians and craftsmen in the arsenal are all carefully selected. Loyalty will never be a problem.
Hear reports from Hesfa Jr. and Dominic. Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction: "You two, there are also people who participated in the design and production of this kind of car." This time, all of them have made great achievements, and with the addition of the Sea Dragon Battleship, your merits have even surpassed those soldiers and generals who fought on the battlefield! Because of these things that you have made. When the alliance army is on the battlefield, there will be a lot less senseless sacrifice! That's why I've decided to make you two counts of the Alliance and award you a four-star medal! You will also take credit for the work of others. I will reward them one by one according to the actual situation! Your names will also be recorded in the history books of the Allies! Your merits will never be forgotten by future generations! ”
Chen Jian's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
Among the people present, most of them were generals in the army, and at this time, seeing that Chen Jian praised Xiao Hesfa and Dominic and others so much, and even awarded them the five-star medal that represented the highest honor of the alliance, bluntly saying that their merits surpassed those of the soldiers and generals who fought and died on the battlefield, they were all a little unconvinced.
