"It's important, but it's also a potential danger. www.biquge.info "Qiao Se shook his head, and then said lightly: "His Majesty the Emperor did not let me send the prisoners to Moxi, in other words, these prisoners of the Northwest Army were sent to my hands again.

However, there are no captives in Sadrand right now, and I have placed five thousand captives in Boulder Town, who will be the best labor force in the workshop. Of the rest of the army, 3,000 were incorporated into the Sadran army, and the other 2,000 really didn't have much of a budget, so instead of letting these guys scatter around, it was better to hand them over to Temur, which was one of my support for him, and of course, the reward would be very high. ”

Sophia squinted her eyes at Joseph, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in this steppe man, Lord Joseph, you trust this guy so much, I have only heard that dogs can be kept in captivity, but wolves cannot be kept in captivity." ”

"I know what you're worried about, but believe me, dear Sophia, I know better than anyone what kind of person Temur is. It's the interest of a transaction, and I'm not going to take this guy into my hands, all I need is obedience, unconditional obedience, and that's it......" Jose winked at Sophia with a strange smile in his eyes.

After a brief lull, Jose's attention was immediately focused on the military workshops in Bouldertown. Crude oil transported from Sadrand was quickly stored, but it was clear that this dangerous thing could not be handed over to ordinary craftsmen and soldiers. Whether it is the soldiers who transport the crude oil or the craftsmen who handle the crude oil, they are carefully selected and explained by Joseph, and special attention must be paid to handling these dangerous things.

The biggest secret in Jose's hands now is the distillation and processing of crude oil, and after more than a month of experimentation, he has found some special magic potion raw materials. These things are added to the semi-distilled gasoline, which greatly increases the combustion rate and destructive power of the gasoline, and it is with this special powerful fuel that José successfully experiments with hot air balloons and incendiary bombs.

But in the battle under the city of Sadland, more than 30 hot air balloons and hundreds of incendiary bombs were dropped, which had completely depleted José's inventory for more than a month. If it weren't for the fact that the Northwest Army couldn't stand this terrible thing in the end, and fled in panic everywhere, I am afraid that it would be this group of air forces under the command of Qiao Se who were forced to land.

So as soon as the fighting subsided, Jose immediately stepped up production and passed on the technique of distilling crude oil to the craftsmen in the Sadrand workshop. After the Sadrand problem was completely resolved, these craftsmen were all transferred to the city of Sadrand. This is the base camp of Joseph, and only by mastering the core technology here can Joseph rest assured.

The Northwest Army was defeated by its newly invented air raid warfare this time, and it would definitely send someone to infiltrate Sadland to find out its secrets, so Jose was very concerned about the secrecy of these workshops. All raw and semi-finished products are processed in Bouldertown, and the petrol and fuel oil are sent to the town of Sadrand for final processing. This batching mode can prevent the secret recipe from leaking to a limited extent, and the final fuel recipe is only known to Joseph, so there is no need to worry about the secret recipe leaking out.

This crude oil mine is not easy to expose the ground, so Jose is not too worried that the Northwest Army will follow suit. This kind of hot air balloon or the use of gasoline and crude oil cannot be learned overnight, and presumably the Northwest Army definitely does not have this kind of patience. Moreover, whether it is Boulder Town or the city of Sadland, there are at least tens of thousands of Sadland troops stationed, and this kind of existence like a military fortress can naturally effectively consolidate the city defense.

After this battle, Gould was completely out of the organization. Through Temus's connections, Jose purchased 5,000 horses from the steppes and allowed Gould to select cavalry from the Sadran army. The fat man spent half a month selecting three thousand excellent soldiers, and then incorporated them into his own cavalry banner regiment. Three thousand plus the previous two thousand, and even Joseph's Guards and Broken were also incorporated into it, and this cavalry of 5,000 men would become the strongest class of troops in the future of Sadland.

Due to the incorporation of the Northwest Army, the strength of the infantry has remained at more than 20,000 men, and although these Northwest Army, which had just laid down their arms, gave Jose a headache for a while, it was also a good challenge for Alok to rebuild this army. Gould took his five thousand cavalry and ran directly to Boulder Town, which was close to the grassland, and it was a good choice for both supplies and garrisoning Boulder Town.

After these captured Northwest Army were reincorporated into the Sadran Army, everything had to start from the lowest level, but Jose deliberately supported a group of low-ranking officers of the Northwest Army.

He made this speech in front of this group of captured soldiers: "No matter whether you were originally from the Northwest Army or the Sadland Army, whether you are from Sadland or several other counties, now you are all Sadland's soldiers! I will not only trust the Sadlanders, I will trust and reuse all the capable people in the army, from today you are all members of the Sadland army, you must learn the rules of the Sadland army, because this is not the barracks of the Northwest Army!"

After saying this, Jose then looked at the Northwest Army, which was either scattered or confused, and pulled out an army of three hundred men directly from the new army of Sadland, and then ordered them to stand in a military posture to demonstrate to these guys. In the scorching sun of the Sadland barracks, the new soldiers stood from morning to evening, because they did not even eat lunch without José's orders. But none of these new Sadran troops cried out, and no one questioned José's orders, and they basked in the sun for most of the day without complaint.

Such strict military discipline deeply shocked these arrogant Northwest Army, and many of them did, as Joseph said, at first look down on these new Sadland Army. He believed that even if they were defeated, it was only because these enemies were too cunning, and if they fought hard face to face, with the elite level of the Northwest Army, they were not afraid of any enemy. But at this moment, in the face of these Sadlanan troops, the pride in their hearts was severely struck, and even the proudest prisoners of the Northwest Army had to admit that the discipline and obedience of these new troops were far beyond the reach of the Northwest Army.

"Look at you, you self-proclaimed elite Northwest Army! This is Lao Tzu's army, Lao Tzu's new army of Sadland, they are unlike any army in this empire or any other empire. Perhaps some of you still think that our victory in Sadland was accidental, a fluke, and a trick...... But you're wrong!"
