Chapter 71: War and Technology

War is a catalyst for human progress, and many scientific and technological inventions are first used in the military field and then in civilian life.

The western countries of the Asian and American continents ceased fire and began to redistribute and divide their territory, and the eastern and southern countries of the Asian and American continents became the objects of their partition, and at the same time became supernumerary battlefields.

On the eastern coast of Daxizhou, the two urban bases in the north and south have already taken in more than 100,000 refugees, and the supreme administrator of the city has arranged these refugees in an orderly manner, selected a group of temporary administrators from among the refugees, set up schools, farms, and factories, unified the language, and uniformly trained adults between the ages of 18 and 30 for military training, and those who pass the test become soldiers, and the rest serve three years of military service and enter the army's logistics department.

The operation of absorbing the armed forces of the coastal areas is also underway, and the imperial ** team has let the recruits see the powerful military power of the navy, land and air force, which makes them excited, and they will soon integrate into the new national identity, hoping that one day they can also control these steel machines.

The resources of the Great Western Continent are the most desirable for the Western powers, but for so many years I have only seen the report and not seen anything practical, just like discovering a gold mine, but no one has mined it, and now that the war has stopped, these countries have begun to move.

The hand of the Western powers reached out to the east of the Asian and American continents, especially the partition of the Great Han State, which seriously damaged the interests of the Japanese and Japanese countries, because this Great Han Kingdom was the back garden of their hearts, how could they let others occupy it, in order to speed up the pace of invasion, the Japanese and Japanese countries sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the provinces of the Great Han Kingdom, win over the warlords from all over the country, and split the Great Han Kingdom.

Since Liu Zhengyuan's death, the governor of Sealand Province, Zhou Yan, quietly regained the ownership of the salt mine, and also began to recruit troops to expand his force, but he could not buy a large number of muskets and ammunition, so he had to send a representative to contact Zhang Hu, put down his body and asked in a low posture to buy back the 1,000 old-fashioned muskets that Liu Zhengyuan was personally armed, and refused to sell other weapons. Although Zhou Yan is the governor of the province, the military power in Zhang Hu's hands does not put the royal family of the Han Kingdom in his eyes at all, which onion is you a provincial governor, at the beginning, people's hot faces were pasted on your cold ass, and now it is enough to sell you a thousand guns to give you face, otherwise people will lead the army to occupy Sealand Province in one go, and your governor Zhou Da will not even be able to keep his home.

At present, Huayang County has 3,000 regular troops, 1,000 county guards, 2,000 Boy Scouts in the 10-year-old group, 3,000 in the 15-year-old group, 1,000 militiamen, and 1,000 guards in Qingyang County and Liyang County. There are also 300 air force and 2,000 navy personnel who are secretly trained, most of whom are orphans adopted from all over the Han Kingdom.

After Zhang Hu and Li Bao practiced kung fu every day, they took a hot bath, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and took a puff.

"Lao Li, how about this special cigarette?"

"Yes, it's much stronger than the knife card, and the filter at the back, it's amazing."

"Five packs of a silver coin, and it is a limited supply, this old knife brand is worth ten packs of small knife brand cigarettes, our Engong invented something is really unheard of, I heard that the small knife brand cigarettes are in short supply, and we have to queue up every day to pick up the goods."

"Yes, Engong's weapon is more powerful, and that day he wiped out the opponent's 5,000 men with just two cigarettes..."

"We have a lot of things to learn, and I have benefited a lot from watching the Art of War recently, and now those boys have become learning freaks one by one."

"Let's go, let's go to the barracks and see how those boys are doing."

The development of Huayang County takes time, first of all, the development of the economy is fundamental, tobacco is the inspiration I accidentally found from the tobacco leaves found in the mountains, the whole Sealand Province is a large tobacco production province, generally homemade tobacco, I purchased a batch of tobacco using modern technology to process hundreds of packs, as a small gift to the agent, which accidentally became a big business, so I had to set up a cigarette factory, the production of knife brand cigarettes.

A pack of two copper coins of Xiaodao brand cigarettes can be afforded by ordinary people, but the old knife brand filter cigarettes that appeared later are the exclusive products of the rich, and the exquisite packaging has become a popular high-end gift.

At this time, the army of the Japanese and Japanese kingdoms attacked Luoyang, the capital of the Han Kingdom, and the emperor embarked on the road of fleeing, and the flames of war had already burned to the neighboring provinces of Zealand Province and would spread here at any time.

At this time, Governor Zhou Yan was hosting a banquet at home to entertain a pair of sons and daughters and their classmates who had returned from other places.
