Chapter Twenty-Five: The Iron Empire in the Coal Mine
Countless warships slowly descended from orbit, and boats of Noah's soldiers began to land, their thick military coats on their bodies, still unable to withstand the extreme cold weather on the planet Torria.
Due to the fact that there are no moons on the planet Torria, and the orbit around the galaxy's only star is completely different from that of the Earth, the winters in the northern hemisphere of Torria are much longer than those of Earth and Noah, and the temperature is much colder than that of the two planets.
As the commander of the Combined Fleet, Shiki naturally did not enter the planet Torria, but stationed in Torria orbit with the Combined Fleet, surrounding the entire Torria.
In the headquarters of the Torria Planetary Army of the Noah Empire, after the end of the war 9 years ago, some of the high-tech products that were not in China were also sold to the Noah Empire through Chinese merchants.
The honeycomb coal in the oven was burning brightly, making a "whirring" sound, and the exhaust gas produced was discharged to the outside of the headquarters along with the long exhaust pipe of the stove.
Duke Arzad, the supreme commander of the Noah Empire's combined fleet in Torlia, sat on a small small horse from China, rubbed his hands, sighed, and muttered: "Torria's damn weather is unbearable. ”
Perhaps it is the master of the universe who has closed the door to space for the earthlings, but opened the door to more fields for the earthlings.
In the Noah's Empire, even the manufacture of honeycomb coal was full of twists and turns, and it took two years to develop the earth technology of honeycomb coal.
Duke Arzade took a sip of hot tea, which was a Kyushu tea from the Kyushu Star Region of China, which warmed people's bodies and improved their spirits a lot: "The honeycomb coal invented by the Chinese people is as easy to use as ever, why did the empire never think of it, and directly dispose of the coal block and make it into honeycomb coal?" ”
Although the students of Noah's empire studying in China learned some "high technology" that did not enter the stream, it was also a civilian "technology" that China was willing to flow out.
The advent of honeycomb coal made Noah's empire directly abandon the rough coal block and switch to more efficient honeycomb coal.
However, the empire does not seem to have a talent for making honeycomb coal, and let it know how honeycomb coal is made, but the honeycomb coal made by senior technicians is too much worse than the honeycomb coal in Huaxia.
Huaxia's honeycomb coal not only has a large output and high quality, but more importantly, the price is nearly 8% cheaper than the honeycomb coal produced in the empire.
Even if the empire's state-owned coal yards imitated honeycomb coal, there was no competition in the market for a large area of Chinese honeycomb coal.
Before the empire mastered the honeycomb coal technology, due to the large purchase of honeycomb coal by comprador merchants, Huaxia occupied 88% of the coal market share in just two years.
The influx of honeycomb coal, briquettes, and coal blocks in China not only facilitated the national factory owners of the Noah Empire, which was on the steam technology tree, but also brought convenience to the people of the Noah Empire, and more importantly, saved the military a huge amount of energy procurement costs for the wasted army.
With the development of the Empire's honeycomb coal, the Cabinet Chief, who had been supported by the Imperial military, issued the "Coal Ban" in order to drive China's coal out of the Empire's market.
However, the "Coal Ban" was only implemented for less than 2 months, and the first assistant of the cabinet was assassinated by the military Shaozhuang, and at the same time, the military put pressure on the cabinet.
In order to reconcile the contradictions between the military and the cabinet, Julian announced a reorganization of the cabinet.
Although they were all cabinets supported by the military, the previous cabinet had its own independent ideas and foresight, knowing that if China's coal completely occupied the market, then the empire would be completely dependent on China in terms of energy in the future, and would be subject to China, so there was the "Coal Ban".
However, at this time, the military is reorganizing the army for war, building a large number of special buildings, and there are wives everywhere, how can there be money to support domestic coal.
The price of national coal exceeds 8% of Huaxia coal, and the military's money is now used for large-scale construction, and it is not at all given to the cabinet to squander the development of national industries.
A much-needed short-term, one that is not visible for the time being...... The long-term benefits are completely invisible, and the military naturally chooses the short-term.
Although the military bigwigs have negotiated with the cabinet chief assistant twice, they have been rejected by the cabinet chief assistant.
In the end, the military had to acquiesce to the actions of the officers below, and the propaganda in the hands of the military began to spread on a large scale.
The assassination of the cabinet leader by the Shaozhuang faction did not cause much reaction in the empire, but everyone applauded.
The formation of a new cabinet immediately revoked the "Coal Ban", and the Chinese coal poured into the empire again.
In just half a month, its market share has broken through the 90% mark in one fell swoop, almost completely controlling the blood circulation of this huge empire with coal as its blood.
Huaxia's investment or direct search for coal mines run by agents of the Noah Empire were generally established in various star regions and planets in the Noah Empire.
Duke Arzade tugged at the collar of his coat and tightened it to make himself a little warmer.
At this time, one of the guards opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, and the wind outside was even more whirring, and the goose feather snow also floated in with the new hour.
The cheeks that had been able to afford to stay outside were all melted away the moment they entered the tent, and their entire cheeks became rosy.
The guard gave a salute and reported, "Report! Commander of the Torlia Vanguard Force, Marquis Chen reports! ”
Arzad nodded and ordered, "Let him in." ”
"Yes!"
After the guards went out, Chen walked in after a while, raised his hand and saluted, "Long live Your Majesty Julian!" The Commander of the Torria Vanguard Force reports for duty! ”
Arzad also stood up at this time and raised his hand in return: "Long live Your Majesty Julian." Thank you, Chen. ”
As soon as Arzadeh's words fell, Chen "poofed" and knelt on the ground, drew the knife at his waist and prepared to cut his abdomen: "Lord Duke, forgive me, the 500,000 army has lost 470,000 in my hands, and only more than 20,000 are left." ”
Arzad put the cup aside in his hand and slowly walked towards Chen, staring quietly at Chen, the commander of the Torria Vanguard for a moment, before taking the saber presented by Chen's hands.
The moment he took the saber from Chen's hand, Arzad couldn't see any fraud on Chen's part, it was completely a true expression of guilt, and he felt guilty for the 470,000 imperial soldiers who died on the planet Torlia.
Arzad pulled Chen up, returned it directly to Chen, and said, "Take it, it's useless to kill you." ”
Chen didn't dare to look at Arzadeh, and said, "But ......"
Arzad commanded sharply: "Take your knife and continue to serve His Majesty Julian, instead of cutting yourself after being deflated, this is what I should do!" ”
"Yes!"
After Chen took the knife, Arzad asked again, "Tell me about the situation on the planet Torria." ”
Chen pinned the knife to his waist again, and then walked over to the large map of Torlia in the Arzad camp to begin the commentary.
With the defeat of the Medusa fleet, the combined forces of Medusa and Amazon on the planet Torria also began to switch from defense to attack, completely abandoning the vanguard of the Noah's Empire cowering in the dense forests of the mountains.
According to the arrangement of Yu Lile and 20 military advisers, the 16 million troops of Medusa and Amazon on the planet Torria each entered the predetermined location to be armed, and according to the results of Yu Lile and a group of military advisers, combined with the characteristics of Amazon and Medusa, the position construction was carried out, and the army of Noah's empire was prepared to fight a protracted war.
After hearing this, Arzad asked, "So all the defenders of Torria have started to act as shrunken turtles?" ”
Chen nodded and said, "Yes, now that the weather is cold, there is no way for the entire northern hemisphere of Torlia to conduct a large-scale battle. ”
"If you force a fight, you will only add unnecessary losses."
"Whether it's us, Medusa, or Amazon, it's true."
After pondering for a moment, Arzad said: "In this case, let's stabilize the northern hemisphere for the time being, and take advantage of the four months of winter to launch an attack on the Torria defenders in the southern hemisphere." ”
"Yes!"
