After Qin Xiaobai persuaded the Korean player forces to send troops to Japan's Kyushu Island, he returned to Tanggukou by sea.

Tanggukou is very busy with ships, with tens of thousands of sailing ships entering and leaving the port every day, and countless small boats, it can almost be said to be the busiest dual-use port in the entire Yan country, and even in northern China

The Great Plain of North China, including the royal capital of Jicheng, the important military town of Tianjin, Tanggu City, and Bohai City, has become the economic center of gravity in the hinterland of Yan State. More than 60% of Yanguo's grain, 50% of its military equipment, 70% of its steel, and 100% of its high-end ships and warships are produced here. Raw materials such as timber and ore from all over Quanyan are transported here, and then processed into finished products, and then transported to various places.

The national wars between Yan and the Russian Far Eastern Principalities, as well as the national wars between Korea and Korea, and Japan, greatly stimulated the production capacity of Tianjin and Tanggu, doubling or even increasing several times. When Qin Xiaobai returned to Tanggu, the entire Zhoushui Alliance was very busy, and they were working at full speed to produce.

Qin Xiaobai entered the city and returned to his mansion, and the God King, Sheep, and Nameless quickly sent the military and economic statistics of the Zhoushui Alliance since the start of the national war. In addition, there is also the economic data of Yan Kingdom sent by the officials of the NPC of the royal court.

Qin Xiaobai flipped through it, and Yan Guo was generally good.

In this national war against the Russian Far East, the player army of Yan used more than 10 million troops in the hinterland and northeast of Yan to participate in the national war in ten batches. So far, the Yan player has killed a total of 10,000 soldiers. On average, almost every player in the Yan Kingdom has lost about one soldier in battle.

Qin Xiaobai was almost startled when he saw this data, such a huge number of casualties can be said to be very amazing, and it is the heaviest war in which Yan has lost troops so far. It will definitely hurt the vitality of Yan Guodi.

In addition, the consumption of food and ordnance is even more jaw-dropping. Almost the food in the walled cities of the entire Yan Kingdom and the food accumulated in the hands of the players were consumed in this national war, with a total consumption of no less than 9 billion catties. There are 50 million blood-tonifying red pills, no less than 10 million bronze arrows and iron arrows, tens of millions of single bronze and iron ordnance, more than five or six million transport carriages, ox carts, and trolleys, and tens of thousands of siege equipment of all kinds. Arguably. This national war has almost exhausted the financial resources accumulated by the players of the entire Yan Kingdom for several months, and they have not been able to recover in half a month to a month.

However, if the Yan State suffered huge losses, then the Russian Far Eastern Principality lost everything. Players in the Russian Far East have lost countless soldiers and disappeared, and more than 7 million NPC farmers, craftsmen, and soldiers in the Russian Far East who have been captured by Chinese players have become NPC slaves. Players in the Russian Far East were forced to resurrect to other parts of Russia after losing their territory.

The booty obtained by Yan from the Russian Far Eastern Principality, including captured NPC manpower, land, castles, mines, and woodland, made up for the loss of NPC manpower and financial resources on the battlefield by Yan. For the long term. This battle is definitely beneficial and harmless. It greatly improved the security environment in the northeast of the Yan Kingdom, so that the external enemies from the northeast completely disappeared. There is no need to worry about being attacked from the northeast - even if there is, it will be after the age of steam, and if the Russian and Western European players do not admit defeat, they may once again break out in the Far East war.

So Qin Xiaobai was still very satisfied with this battle.

The strategic pattern of East Asia was determined by the Great War between Yan and the Russian Far Eastern Principalities. The Russian Far East was completely defeated, and its sphere of influence retreated to Western Europe by a large margin. However, Japanese players have been unable to break through the dilemma of resource depletion and are languishing. The entire East Asian strategic pattern began to be steadily manipulated in the hands of Chinese players.

In addition, the state of Qin, the state of Zhao. Mongolia has been coerced to jointly send troops to Siberia. In Siberia, Russia has a smaller player population, and I am afraid that it will not last long, and it will definitely retreat to Western Europe in its entirety. Only Western Europe. Chinese players are too long to beat, and it will be difficult to attack in the short term.

After the Yan Kingdom finished fighting the Russian Far Eastern Principality, the most important thing left was to recuperate and recuperate, and while boiling the war between Korea and Japan with a warm fire, it continued to slowly consume the strength of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese island.

After reading the military and economic briefings of Yan State, Qin Xiaobai revised three letters, and expressed his national policy views to King Yan of Jicheng Di, Da Situ Guo Kui, and Da Sima Leyi in Harbin. The coming months. Yan gradually shifted from the period of national war to the period of recuperation, accumulating strength. Prepare and wait for the next expansion.

Guo Kui was worried about the emptiness of the treasury and his inability to deal with sudden events, while Le Yi had also established enough war exploits and was not opposed to recuperation.

King Yan agreed, slowing down the pace of the war in the field of war a little. Although the prefecture of the Russian Far Eastern Principality has not yet been taken by the Yan army, the Khabarovsk Castle has been exhausted and has been unable to reverse the overall situation of the defeat of the Russian Far Eastern Principality.

Leave that to the moment.

Qin Xiaobai was more interested in the exhibition of the Zhoushui Alliance.

What excites him the most is that the Zhoushui Shipyard, presided over by Mi Cai Qingniu, has opened a more high-grade four-sail four-tooth building ship and a five-sail five-tooth flagship building ship, which are far larger than the three-tooth building ship, and the carrying capacity has increased several times or even ten times.

In particular, the five-tooth flagship ship with five masts and huge sails, with a carrying capacity of 1,200 tons, can carry tens of thousands of soldiers, and the whole is a giant floating on the sea, and the main mast alone is more than ten zhang high. You must know that the carrying capacity of the Sanyalou ship is only more than 130 tons, and the Wuyalou ship is ten times its carrying capacity.

Placed together, the three-tooth tower ship and the five-tooth tower ship look like a dwarf and an iron tower giant standing together, giving people a visually stunning feeling, which is simply incomparable. Not to mention fighting, just by colliding, the Sanyalou ship would not be able to hit the Wuyalou ship head-on at all.

The Wuyalou boat is a heavy and huge whale, while the Sanyalou boat is at most an active dolphin. Hit by such a massive hull, a slightly smaller ship would definitely sink.

Moreover, the Wuyalou ship, with the existing attack weapons in the game, "giant crossbows and projectiles", cannot be sunken at all. Because it is so large, attacking with a giant crossbow, even if it smashes a hole in its hull, it will only be a painless and itchless small wound to the entire giant ship. Moreover, the interior is a water trap, so even if there is a partial leakage, it cannot be sunk.

The shipyard only built one such five-tooth flagship ship.

Qin Xiaobai was greatly excited, and praised the green cow who was obsessed with money. But he wondered why he didn't build more of these huge flagships. Although he didn't plan to sell it, it was still very popular for his own fleet.

The Lost Fortune Qingniu shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Boss, although this Wuyalou ship is a giant at sea, I am even sure that no warship can fight it head-on." But there is a disadvantage, that is, there are too many floors, and the center of gravity of the entire hull is too high. Sailing on still water is fine, but if the wind and waves are very strong on the sea, the higher the center of gravity, the more likely it is to capsize. Don't look at it majestic, but it certainly can't withstand a storm at sea. Especially the wind and waves on the side, which will definitely blow it down.

Therefore, this giant ship is mainly an experimental product, and it will accumulate experience for the shipyard to build similar giant ships in the future. Without the boss's approval, I wouldn't have dared to pull it out of the shipyard, for fear that the wind would sink it as soon as it went to sea. ”

Qin Xiaobai quickly understood. A giant ship of the class like the Wuyalou Ship, except for ships of similar size, is basically invincible on the water, but the natural enemy, the wind and waves, can easily kill it.

"The center of gravity is too high!? It seems that this giant has both advantages and disadvantages. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The main thing is that these five layers of arrow towers on the ship are used for defense, and they occupy too much weight. As a result, the overall center of gravity is in the upper half, not in the bottom of the boat. This issue should be easy to fix. As long as the hull of the ship, not the upper floor, the center of gravity of the entire ship can be lowered, and the wind force that can be withstood can be greatly increased. ”

Mi Cai Qingniu nodded and said: "Well, the main design direction of our shipyard some time ago is the building ship, and we are constantly upgrading on this basis, and we have not had time to design the flat-bottomed ship." If the upper part of the defense floor is removed, the combat capability of the battleship will be greatly reduced, and the archers on the ship will lose their natural cover. Flat-bottomed ships are only suitable for carrying troops, and are not suitable for archery operations at sea. ”

Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "It's okay to develop a flat-bottomed giant troop transport ship, after all, many times it is not a naval battle, but a 6-ground war, and we need a large transport ship for long-distance cross-sea 6 operations to transport a group of troops to Japan." As for the building ship, continue to transform the Wuyalou ship, and make its hull bottom larger, longer and wider, so that its center of gravity is lowered as much as possible, at least to withstand intermediate wind and waves. If it really doesn't work, then give up and only build a ship of the lower class or its type. ”

Mi Cai Qingniu nodded, and said excitedly: "Well, don't worry, boss, I will try my best to transform it into a warship suitable for sea combat." I am planning to develop Zheng He's treasure ship, a seven-mast design ship, a 6,000-ton ship, which is even about five times larger than the current Wuyalou ship. Once the research is successful, not to mention Deng6 Japan, even if it goes to the South Sea, or even to the Indian Ocean, in Africa Da 6 and Central Adam 6, there will be absolutely no problem. ”
