849 Entering the palace for a banquet

readx;

c_t; Today's banquet seems to be Long Chenguang's banquet of the ministers, most of the officials of the DPRK and China came, and Fang Ruitao and Chen Zhenghao made it to the table of the military. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info (Marshmallow Because Long Chenguang had come to several tables of the military before the banquet to spread the word, asking them to drink less, so Fang Ruitao and the others could only taste it.)

When the banquet was in full swing, several chamberlains secretly called these military officials away, and Fang Ruitao also followed them along a path to the harem. After walking for nearly half an hour, Fang Ruitao and the others came to an extremely remote palace, and the chamberlain introduced these senior officials here.

Fang Ruitao followed Chen Zhenghao and Gu Feng and others, and walked into the palace, this place is not particularly spacious, but the layout is very warm, Fang Ruitao peeked at the left and right side halls, there seems to be a royal bed inside, it seems that this is the Emperor Long Chenguang's own bedroom.

Summoning courtiers in his own dormitory, this is a big event that has never been done before, Fang Ruitao peeked around, there were not many people who were called this time, except for Chen Zhenghao, Marshal Gu Feng and Wu Chen, the commander of the First Army, there was a group of old guys at the top of the military department, although he had seen them all, but he didn't remember the names of these people, and another strange old man gave him an unfathomable feeling, he secretly guessed that this might be Long Ying, the commander of the Magic Swordsman Regiment mentioned by Wu Chen.

Soon there was a rush of footsteps outside, Fang Ruitao peeked over and found that it was Emperor Long Chenguang who walked in with a group of attendants. Sitting on his royal chair, Long Chenguang sighed and said, "Let everyone Aiqing wait, this time I summoned everyone, and I want to discuss with you about the attack on the Durrant Empire." [See the latest chapter of the book]"

Fang Ruitao's heart trembled when he heard this, but he couldn't understand that since he was going to attack the Durrant Empire, Zhu Yunmei, the lord of Luoyu City bordering it, had nothing that he had not been summoned.

Long Chenguang glanced at Fang Ruitao, as if he already knew what he was thinking, seeing His Majesty's smiling eyes looking at him, Fang Ruitao was even more confused.

"Let's ask Long Ying to tell you about it first. Long Chenguang didn't say anything specific, but instead looked at Long Ying, the leader of the Magic Swordsman Regiment, who rarely appeared in the imperial capital.

Seeing that everyone turned their eyes, Long Ying cleared his throat and said, "The Magic Swordsman Regiment has been stationed in Cloud City for decades, and we have not been idle during this time. After years of surveying and excavation, we have excavated a tunnel complex in the Great Hengduan Mountains, which can lead directly to the Darant Empire. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall gasped. Long Chenguang was really calculating, and he deliberately sent one of the most high-profile troops in the country to guard an unimportant border area. Others thought that these people were preserving their strength, but they were secretly digging an offensive tunnel. It is estimated that no one would have thought that Long Chenguang would let such a high-profile army do this kind of thing, because it was too easy to expose, but they took advantage of everyone's psychology to make this matter go smoothly so secretly.

"Isn't the other side of Cloud City very close to the Holy Mountain? that's the base camp of the Temple. Chen Zhenghao was surprised, he was still quite familiar with the geography of this place.

Gu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it is not far from the Holy Mountain, and it is not far from the territory controlled by the royal family of the Durrant Empire. In other words, His Majesty's attack this time is not the real Durrant Empire, but the Temple. ”

"Attack the Temple, their strength seems to be recovering extremely quickly, are we sure of victory?" Wu Chen said worriedly, although the empire has also emerged many masters in recent years, it is indeed slightly inferior to the temple, not only because of the temple's status in the Durrant Empire, but also because they retain many good exercises. It can be said that most of the talents of the Durrant Empire are now concentrated in the Temple, if there is no Temple, the strength of the Durant Empire is not stronger than the Fengyun Empire, at least more than half of the Durrant Empire's Sage-level masters are from the Temple.

Fang Ruitao looked at everyone and didn't speak, this kind of thing is better to see the situation, at least Fang Ruitao is very curious, since they want to choose Cloud City as a breakthrough, why do they have to find themselves, it seems that the Shouyang Territory is far away from Cloud City.

"Fang Ruitao. Long Chenguang suddenly called his name, and Fang Ruitao quickly replied: "Weichen is here." ”

Long Chenguang said: "If you are asked to provide a large number of weapons in a short time, is there any difficulty?"

Fang Ruitao said: "I don't know how much equipment Your Majesty needs, what kind of style is it?"

Long Chenguang thought for a while and said, "How long will it take you to have a million sets of general armor, a million shields, 200,000 long swords, 1.3 million spear heads, 200,000 longbows, and 50 million arrowheads?"

Fang Ruitao was taken aback, such a large number was enough to redress most of the country's armies, even with the fact that Dwarf City had now joined the entire Dwarf Clan and the strength of the Weapons Bureau, it would be very difficult to make so many weapons.

Fang Ruitao calculated carefully and gritted his teeth: "It will take at least two years." He looked up a little embarrassed, only to find that everyone was looking at him with surprise, especially the look in the eyes of the dragon looking at him.

Fang Ruitao's face turned red, he felt that the manufacturing time of weapons and equipment was a little too long, and it was estimated that the daylily would be cold in two years, but no matter how he calculated, he couldn't speed up anymore. "Two years is indeed a bit longer, at least after careful calculation, Weichen really can't increase the speed anymore. ”

Only then did Long Chenguang react and said, "Can it be completed in two years?" are you sure?"

"What?" This time it was Fang Ruitao's turn to be surprised, and he realized that everyone was not because his manufacturing time was too long, but too short. In fact, Fang Ruitao has not yet adapted to the combat speed of ancient cold weapons, with large-scale mechanized manufacturing and perfect mobilization mechanism, a modern country only needs one or two months to turn the whole country into a state of war, but in the era of cold weapons, this is not the case at all.

With the massive amount of material transportation and weapon manufacturing, coupled with the training and support of personnel, if you want to mobilize the strength of the whole country to fight, it is not as simple as sending a small force to carry out an assault war. In the eyes of many officers, it is good that this war can be completed within ten years from planning to attacking, and the most time-consuming of them is the problem of weapon manufacturing, and it is incredible that Fang Ruitao can complete the replenishment of weapons in such a short time.

Fang Ruitao knew that he might have said the wrong thing, so he quickly coughed twice and said, "The two years I said would be to mobilize all the dwarf masters to work together with all the blacksmiths in the entire Shouyang territory, and it would be possible to complete it in three shifts a day day and around the clock. Of course, this will require the entire empire to provide me with enough iron ore and coal. ”
