Emperor Qianwu nodded and looked at Li Changfeng's motorcycle.

"I'll give it a try."

"Be careful, then."

Li Changfeng turned sideways and got out of the way, pointed to the clutch of the motorcycle and began to explain the control method in detail.

After a while, Emperor Qianwu understood it and rode up to start the motorcycle.

Thump!

As soon as I started, I turned off the ignition.

Li Changfeng reminded: "Slowly loosen the clutch and give some oil." ”

"Got it."

Emperor Qianwu tried again, and the motorcycle slowly walked up, his expression gradually becoming excited.

Li Jianye saw that the speed was very slow, so he instigated: "Father, give oil, your speed is too slow, the square in front of the palace is so big, what are you afraid of!" ”

Emperor Qianwu glared at Li Jianye fiercely, so frightened that Li Jianye shrunk his neck, for fear that Emperor Qianwu would stop and whip him with the belt of seven wolves.

Fortunately, Emperor Qianwu's attention is on motorcycles, and he is also a generation of heroes who are brave and brave to skip others.

Although it was the first time to ride, it was also fearless, and the throttle was blown to the maximum.

I saw that his body suddenly swung back, and he almost fell off the motorcycle, which frightened Li Jianye and instantly had a cold line on his forehead.

But fortunately, Emperor Qianwu himself was also a martial arts master, with a strong physique and agile skills, and he quickly stabilized his figure and galloped in the square in front of the palace.

Seeing this, Li Jianye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall, otherwise I would have been beaten!"

Li Changfeng smiled lightly, feeling that the appearance of Qianwu wearing a solemn dragon robe riding a motorcycle was full of joy.

Soon Emperor Qianwu mastered the method of driving a motorcycle, rode well, and stopped in front of Li Changfeng after a while, and jumped down with a vigorous posture.

"Yes, it's indeed much stronger than a horse, hurry up and build the side three-wheeled one you said, I want to let the army use motorcycles, and gradually eliminate motorcycles, huh...... Let's start with the artillery battalion. Emperor Qianwu looked a little excited.

Li Changfeng smiled and raised five fingers: "A car is five hundred taels of silver." ”

Emperor Qianwu changed slightly: "So expensive? ”

In his plan, all the elite troops of Daqian should be equipped with motorcycles, and according to the configuration of three people in one car, at least 100,000 vehicles.

According to the calculation of five hundred taels of a car, it is simply an astronomical amount.

Even Li Jianye on the side was also taken aback: "This is too expensive, right?!" Even if the treasury is emptied, it will not be able to equip the entire army! ”

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Do you think this motorcycle is so easy to build?" In particular, the qualification rate of precision engines is extremely low, time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, and the early investment is not counted? ”

Li Changfeng did not talk nonsense about this, Daqian did not have precision machine tools, the manufacturing process of various parts and components was very rough, and the pass rate was as low as an outrageous 1 percent.

In order to ensure that they are profitable, they have to set the price high.

Emperor Qianwu frowned and said, "Is it possible for the price to come down?" ”

"Yes, but it will take a long time."

Li Changfeng nodded and said: "Actually, father, you don't need a lot of equipment, just build a motorized force to form combat effectiveness first, anyway, the army is now invincible in the world." ”

"What you said is also right, then the musket battalion will be equipped with 300 vehicles, the Imperial Forest Army will be equipped with 500 vehicles, and the Ouchi guards will be equipped with 200 vehicles......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Jianye: "Forget it about the air force for the time being, anyway, you are fighting in the air." ”

"Father's ......"

Li Jianye looked unwilling, and was about to speak but was stopped by Emperor Qianwu raising his hand.

"That's it."

A total of 1,000 cars, which is 500,000 taels.

There are more places for the state to spend money, and Emperor Qianwu must consider it in a balanced manner.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "It's okay to purchase so much in the first batch, take your time, and in the future, there will be armored vehicles that are stronger than motorcycles, and even tanks." When that happens, you'll find that motorcycles aren't very useful. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What are armored vehicles and tanks, which can be better than motorcycles?!"

Li Jianye also stared at Li Changfeng with a curious expression.

Li Changfeng pondered the wording for a while, and tried to explain it in a way that Emperor Qianwu could understand: "Armored car...... Well, you can understand it as a big motorcycle with four wheels, the whole body is made of thick steel plates, not to mention the arrows, it is the kind that ordinary shells can't break, and it can pull a lot of soldiers to shoot in the car with firearms......"

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's expression gradually became excited.

Li Jianye urged: "Brother Jiu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up! With this thing, will our big cadres still be killed or injured! ”

Li Changfeng waved his hand and said helplessly: "It's not that simple, the body structure and external armor are easy to do, the main thing is that the engine is not good, it needs a lot of power output to drive, and the high-horsepower engine can't be done in a short time." ”

Hearing this, Li Jianye was a little disappointed.

Emperor Qianwu asked curiously, "What's the matter with the tank you are talking about?" ”

"Tanks, that is, with tracks...... It's hard to explain, anyway, you just need to know that it's easier to use and stronger than wheels, and the whole body is covered with thick armor, and the most important thing is that the tank is equipped with artillery and can travel quickly. ”

Emperor Qianwu could still control his emotions when he heard the armored car, but after hearing the tank at this time, he couldn't control it anymore and let out an exclamation.

"Traveling with artillery? It means that you can shoot while driving?! ”

As a powerful weapon, the biggest disadvantage of artillery is that its mobility is too poor, and it is extremely troublesome to move its bulky gun body.

As a result, most of today's artillery can only play the role of defending the city, and it is difficult to play an offensive role.

If tanks solve this problem, it will bring about a qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the Daqian army.

Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right, these can be achieved theoretically, but the requirements for the material of the gun body are higher, and the power requirements for the engine are also very high, and the most important price will be dozens or hundreds of times that of a motorcycle, and a large amount of equipment is unrealistic." ”

Emperor Qianwu laughed and said: "Daqian is developing at a high speed now, and now it can't be equipped in large quantities, who knows in the future?" If you hurry up and develop it, I hope to see armored vehicles and tanks in my lifetime. ”

Li Changfeng said casually: "Got it." ”

In fact, he has little interest in armored vehicles and tanks for the time being.

Who are you going to hit with such an awesome weapon?

The Hu tribe who fought back horses and archery, or the Westerners who couldn't even make gunpowder?

Now that Daqian is invincible in the world, there is no need to waste time and energy on this kind of thing.

If you have that energy, you might as well quickly invent a real car.

The excited Emperor Qianwu did not notice Li Changfeng's perfunctory attitude, and was still imagining the future of the Great Qian's army.

"With armored vehicles and tanks, I have the capital to conquer the world, and truly achieve the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister!"
