Under the attention of the thunderstorm, the vision of the Aoren finally turned to Nanzhang, as a secret master, he knew the most about secret arts, and when he saw the report that came, the thunderstorm realized that it was too late.

Unconsciously, Nanzhang Shengong City has formed a scale, according to the Air Force report, Shengong City has two large and small places, with a population of nearly 400,000, hundreds of docks, airships and planes in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, so that the Air Force airships cannot conduct detailed reconnaissance.

Shengong City has air supremacy, as soon as the Austrian airship approached, several ships were shot down, the rest scattered and fled, several attempts to get close to the reconnaissance, were blocked from the periphery, heavy losses, a reconnaissance team composed of twenty airships, and finally able to return to Wuyang Mansion, but eight.

Naturally, they didn't know that there were three camps in Shengong City, and in the Death Mountain Range, there was also a scattered material base, where tens of thousands of people were working, and there were dozens of small camps, supplying nearly one million catties of various ores and fuels to Shengong City every day.

In addition to the three places on the ground, at the foot of Shengong City, there is an underground world about the size of the Desolate Land, but thousands of meters deep, where there are countless meats, furs, animal tendons, and minerals. The several underground rivers at the foot of the Shengong City were fully utilized, and without these, it would be difficult to ensure drinking water for 400,000 people just for the two Shengong Cities on the ground.

These problems, thunderstorms quickly raised, 400,000 people is not a small number, with the current understanding of the surrounding environment of Shengong City, it is not enough to meet the basic survival requirements, not to mention that the blast furnace is standing there, just the number of high-altitude reconnaissance is terrifying.

One hundred and twenty-nine dry docks, with more than a dozen under construction. There are sixty-nine docks in use, and it is obvious that Da Chu cannot use one hundred and twenty-nine docks at the same time due to the lack of boatmen, but they are still building.

From this, it can be seen that the relationship between Shengongcheng and Dachu is not so close, and the two sides are not coordinated enough, which will produce this wasteful phenomenon.

Even so, the number of docks is still staggering, and the most important thing is that the docks seen by the Air Force are all built with ironclad ships, and there are no wooden warships.

Think about the battle with the Fourth Fleet, what a toothache!

In that naval battle, there were only more than 30 warships used by the Shengong Naval Army, including the fat transport, and now there are as many as 69 ships under construction in the dockyard, twice as many as before.

If these ironclad cabins are launched, there will be more than 100 ironclad ships of the Shengong Naval Army, which will be fatal. Thunderstorm knew in his heart that the Austrians had the advantage of the naval army before, otherwise how could they talk about landing operations?

When the Great Chu Navy has the right to control the sea, the Austrian Navy can only rely on luck, hoping that before landing, it will not be discovered by the Shengong Navy.

Of course, he had already received the news that the raft island of the Austrian civilians had drifted to Hanzhang and Dali Island, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't want to send someone to pick it up. The First Fleet is not short of soldiers, what is lacking is food supplies, and now it has become a problem for these people to eat, and if they receive dozens of millions of Austrian civilians to come over, they will all starve to death without the Chu army fighting.

Renault didn't know that his thoughts were different from those in the Great Chu world, in his opinion, the fat man was a transport ship, with a large load capacity and fast speed.

But in the eyes of Thunderstorm and Schloe, there is no need to distinguish between battleships and transport ships, in their opinion, these are all ironclad ships.

Think about it, is it a ship built of fine iron, as long as it is loaded with weapons, the fat man can't be used to conduct naval battles? For the naval general, more loading not only means that it can carry more cargo, but if it is transformed, it can directly be loaded with weapons and sailors, and any special transport ship is all warships.

More than 30 ironclad ships sank half of the ships of the Fourth Fleet, what if there were more than 100 ships?

In addition to the dockyard and ironclad ships, the most concerned about the thunderstorm is the blast furnace, because the distance is too far, the check is not very clear, the number of blast furnaces that can be clearly determined, the number has exceeded 600, because it is too far away, it is impossible to see how many craftsmen are working, and it is impossible to judge the specific output.

Even with the smallest output, the amount of pig iron smelted in a day by 600 blast furnaces is already an astronomical amount.

The thunderstorm didn't know yet, the actual output was even more terrifying than he imagined, the blast furnace of Shengong City was used to smelt refined iron, and only a very small part was used for secondary smelting, for smelting alloys. The production is dozens of times more than expected by the thunderstorm.

Without such a large production of refined iron, it is not enough to support the demand of Shengong City. The construction of ironclad ships, in the eyes of thunderstorms, is already an incredible thing, not only the consumption of fine iron, but also the problem of secret arts, how did the Chu people let the fine iron float on the sea?

In fact, for Shengong City, the most consuming of refined iron is not shipbuilding, but Shengong City itself, which keeps laying pieces of fine iron plates on the ground day and night, pouring them into flat ground, and constantly expanding the scope of Shengong City, which is the bulk of the consumption of refined iron.

Of course, Renault is willing to use fine iron to build weapons and ships, but the number of craftsmen can't keep up. At first, the only people who could complete these tasks were the craftsmen of the Temple of Divine Works, which Renault had spent several years slowly cultivating.

But there are only a few hundred people, enough for anything. With the transfer of a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, the craftsmen of the Shengong Temple have become teachers, and each person has to bring several apprentices.

Fortunately, these are not pure small jobs, they were originally craftsmen in the household department, and they can start working after a few months.

Even so, the repeated expansion of manpower, now there are nearly 10,000 craftsmen who can work, it is still far from enough, smelting, shipbuilding, guns, ammunition, these four major items, the need for manpower is too much, Zhang Tan even those who have studied for a few months are sent up, often defective products, it is also a helpless move.

"Lei Jun, you contact Wuyang Mansion, you must take Shengong City, even if it can't be used by me, you can't let them continue to develop. Thunderstorm said firmly.

Lei Jun didn't respond directly, he had read the reconnaissance report, and naturally understood the impact of Shengong City on the war situation, but think about the Shengong Navy and the Shengong Army, as well as the Shengong Air Force airships and planes in the sky, this matter is tricky.

Land, sea, and air are not dominant, and it is even difficult to send troops to Nanzhang Shengong City, and there are fewer people to send, and it is not enough to send heads, so if you want to send more people, how can you send them?

The Aoren's pedal plane was learned from the Chu people, and although the quality was not bad, it definitely did not dare to say that it was stronger than the Chu people, and there was no advantage in quantity. The number of airships is less, and the hot air balloons eliminated by the Chu people are still equipped by the Austrians, acting as the main air force.

Not to mention on the ground, both places are suppressed to death, barely protecting themselves.

As for the sea, at the moment the Austrians have a slight advantage, relying on numbers. What's more, now that the fleet has already returned, before the arrival of the Fifth Fleet, whether it is Chunjiang Mansion or Wuyang Mansion, there is not much navy in their hands. The total number of clippers is only more than 100, and it is okay to use it to transmit news, so forget about the naval battle, I am afraid that even the southern naval army will not be able to handle it.

In fact, if it weren't for the small number of ships of the Shengong Naval Army, the sea area of Wuyangfu would have been blockaded long ago.

When the thunderstorm and the Lei army were at a loss, Shangjing Luocheng put up lights to celebrate the victory of the Great Chu coalition army.

In fact, in the Yangxin Hall, the faces of several ministers are not very good-looking, and the information sent back from Hanzhang is becoming more and more severe, and the total strength of the Great Chu Coalition Army has reached 1.5 million by the Qizi River in Liaodong.

After such a long time, a defense line of 380 miles has been built along the Qizi River, but this is not reassuring.

According to the military records of Great Chu, the regular army of the eight army corps is about 1.1 million, and the government soldiers are 72 battalions, about 500,000.

In other words, the nominal regular army of Dachu is only more than 1.6 million people, which is already quite a lot, after all, it is not easy to feed a professional soldier in these years.

Counting the two theaters in the east and south, not counting the soldiers who died in the war in a year and a half, there are more than 1.5 million people who are currently besieging the Austrians.

The Yulin Army in Los Angeles, 200,000 elites cannot be moved, and as Shangjing, the military force guarding Los Angeles must not only not be transferred, but also strengthened.

Since two and a half years ago, Chu Ren began to order more troops in various places, and has recruited more than 2 million new soldiers, some of whom have replaced the original government soldiers and are responsible for public security in various places, some of which have been sent to Jiubian to become new border soldiers, and most of the rest are piled up in the Qiti River.

After all, it is a new army, coupled with the lack of materials, until now, the equipment of the new army is still incomplete, and it needs to be transported by airship from Shengong City, across the entire Great Chu, thousands of miles apart.

If there was no airship, there would be no way to do this, and the armor could only be smelted from Liaodong. Liaodong is an iron producer, and there are a lot of them, but the technology is too poor, and even the Liaodong Shuishui Corps itself does not like to use the armor produced, and would rather sell iron powder for money, and then find a way to buy armor from the Ministry of Industry.

Armor is different from ordinary goods, only the Ministry of Industry has a large number of legal armor, buy other people's goods? Not to mention that you can't buy a sufficient quantity, even if you can buy it, who dares to sell it? Who dares to buy it?

Buying and selling a large number of armor is like a rebellion!

As for the celebration of Los Angeles, it is just outdated news, and the news is naturally true, but that was a long time ago.

In Renault's opinion, it is a bit incredible, but in the eyes of the Chu people, it is too normal. Wuyang Mansion is so far away, three or five months, half a year or even more to send back the news, isn't it?

"I didn't expect that the legendary True Wax Earth Immortal really exists, and it's a pity that it's still so violent. Du Jian shook his head slightly and sighed.

Chu Ren looked at it and wanted to laugh, this was too fake. The relationship between Da Chu and Zhen La, he naturally knows, hundreds of years of feud. In the southwest region, the main task of the Jiuquan Army is to hold and kill the remnants of Zhenla. At this time, Du Jian sighed vigorously, it was like a cat crying mouse, and he didn't know how to be happy in his heart.
