Chapter 432: The Situation

After a long discussion in the conference room, Fang Rong was satisfied. But Wang Rui was not satisfied. Because, Zhang Hao only gives the solution of the battle on land, but not the solution of the battle at sea.

And now the biggest problem in the country of Canglan now is from the sea!

This is not a time to be embarrassed. Wang Rui saw that everyone's discussion was about to end, and immediately got up and asked Zhang Haohai how to solve the problem.

"This question is simple!" Zhang Hao said without the slightest hesitation, "If you just want to overwhelm the other party on the warship, then use the iron boat!"

To be exact, it was to cover the outside of the warship with a layer of iron. The iron sheet of the dark iron. This dark iron sheet itself can be refined into a magic weapon, etc., so that the warship has a strong defensive ability, and even other formation capabilities.

As for the installation of artillery on the warship, the base area can be increased and inlaid into the hull with I-beams and other materials to separate the stress and recoil.

Such a transformation is simple, and I believe that your craftsmen can do it.

As for the black iron sheet, we have it in Dayang Group. Nowadays, we can roll iron sheets, from 0.5 mm thick iron sheets to 500 mm steel plates. Purity...... You can choose from ordinary black iron to black iron with a purity of 98%.

If you purchase in large quantities, we calculate it by weight. If the purchase quantity is small, it will be calculated according to the area of the iron sheet. ”

Wang Rui immediately asked: "Then if you want to wrap a warship that is 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 12 meters high, and at least has the defense ability of a low-level magic weapon, how much iron sheet do you need?"

"Oh...... At least with the defense ability of a low-level magic weapon, then 90% pure Xuantie is required. In terms of thickness, it should be at least the thickness of an excellent shield, then it should be 1.5 centimeters.

As a rough estimate, a warship needs at least 4500 square meters of iron sheets. Considering the actual process of cutting, riveting, etc., it is almost calculated according to 5,000 square meters. The density of dark iron is about 8 tons per cubic meter, and the overall calculation is almost 600 tons of iron sheet.

Oh, 1.5 cm thick, it should be called an iron plate.

Now 90% of the black iron, the market price has been reduced to a medium-grade spirit stone, but if you roll steel, you have to charge 10%. That is to say, one ton of iron plate should be calculated according to 1.1 medium-grade spirit stones. ”

"Then we will ask for 10,000 tons of 1.5 cm iron plates. The total value is 110 high-grade spirit stones. ”

Zhang Hao shook his head: "Don't forget, there is also a 10% tariff." ”

Wang Rui: ...... When you sold battleships before, why didn't you talk about tariffs.

............

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and early on the third morning, the sun had not yet come out, and the shore of Changshan Port was already overcrowded.

Today, the 'Arctic Ocean Fleet' of the Ocean Group is about to set off and explore Liuli Island in the north. And the first 35,000-ton huge warship of the Ocean Group was also officially put into service.

By this time the battleship was already in the harbor. The 270-meter-long all-steel battleship dazzled countless people.

For example, Hua Baixiang stood on the shore and watched it fascinatingly.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly there was a commotion from the rear, and Hua Baixiang didn't need to turn her head, and the Yuan Shen 'saw' the scene in the rear.

Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu walked one after the other, but Zhang Hao was only half a step behind, and the two walked almost side by side.

But no one knew that Zhang Hao was discussing the war in the East with Liu Xinyu at this time, and the surroundings were isolated by an enchantment.

Since Fang Rong and Wang Rui came to Zhang Hao to learn from him, the war situation in the East has undergone earth-shaking changes. The iron ships of the Land of Waves are still being built, and this thing will not happen overnight, but it will not be long before it can be put into war.

However, trench tactics and the centralized application of artillery were used by the country of Canglan and Shaoze.

This time, it caught Langya off guard at the beginning. In just two days, the defense line of the country of Langya retreated by hundreds of kilometers, and the remaining land shrank by almost one-fifth again.

The western and northern fronts pressed more than 100 kilometers at the same time, and the country of Langya was a little anxious for a while. Especially since the two days of fighting, the country of Langya has lost more than one million soldiers, and the lost materials and so on have piled up.

Now the country of Langya has less than three million fighting troops, and its morale is shaking. The most serious is the loss of strategic materiel, which leads to the fact that the remaining soldiers face a state of being left without weapons. That's what kills.

This rout was too sudden - unlike the last time, the last time the country of Langya took the initiative to retreat, and a large amount of explosives were buried underground, which directly caused the coalition forces of the country of Canglan and the country of Shaoze to suffer heavy losses. But this time, the country of Langya suffered heavy losses. This loss made the country of Langya almost lose the ability to attack - the defense is very weak.

However, wars do not only happen on the battlefield, but also in the court and the country!

Nangong Zhi suddenly got his senses, he actually took the initiative to contact the 'Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty' and wanted to form an alliance with the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty!

When Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu got the news, they both couldn't believe it - Nangong Zhi, you really dare to think about it! The country of the Northern Tang Dynasty originally attacked your country of Shaoze together with the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there was the support (supervision) of the free faction behind it.

But what made Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu's jaws drop in surprise was that the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty really agreed; well, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it agreed, but in the war of the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty, it was a little ineffective. So much so that the army of the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

And at this time, the country of the Northern Tang suddenly sent troops to attack the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty. And the slogan - reclaim the homeland!

Yes, the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty used to be one country - the country of the Tang Dynasty, and the founding Taizu is said to have come from a side branch of the ancient clan: the Tang clan.

But more than 2,000 years ago, there were two excellent princes, neither of whom were princes, and the two joined forces to kill the prince, and then ...... Divided the country of Tang. Since then, the country of the Tang Dynasty has been divided into two and has become the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

In the past, there was the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, 'Fertile City', and now it is the imperial capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty. The country of the Southern Tang Dynasty built its capital 'Yucheng', which was a companion capital in those years.

Over the years, the two Tang kingdoms have restrained each other. Coupled with the pressure of the loose faction behind them, the two sides are relatively stable as a whole, with only a few minor conflicts.

However, Nangong Zhi's visit has brought new changes to the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty: technology, military equipment, machine tools, etc. from the country of Qixia and the Ocean Group, Nangong Zhi can provide here. There are also cheap pills and so on.

In addition, and most importantly, Nangong Zhi let the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty see the 'benefits of the Great Voyage and the arrival of an Age of Discovery'. The country of the Northern Tang Dynasty is located inland, and there is no contact with the sea at all.

In contrast, the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty has the advantage of the sea, and once the country of the Southern Tang rises, the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty ...... Go?

Because of these considerations, coupled with Nangong Zhi's various promises, etc., although the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty did not form an alliance with the country of Shaoze, and it was impossible to form an alliance, the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty started a war against the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The free-spirited vomiting of blood - originally let the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty unite to contain the country of Shaoze, but now it's good, you have fought by yourself.

And the Northern Tang Kingdom is also very justified - on the previous battlefield, the Southern Tang Kingdom pit us once, and they didn't tell us about their retreat, so that we suffered heavy losses. So we are now going to relaunch the war of unification!

The country of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty went to war, and the country of Langya suddenly fell into a state of fighting alone.

Nangong Zhi did not let go of the opportunity, the army did not rest, and rushed wildly, and the same was true of the country of Canglan. A real war to destroy the country is about to begin.

Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu walked very slowly, and these were the things they discussed. When I came to the beach, Liu Xinyu sighed: "I always feel that the Nangong Zhi who supports me has a feeling of unease." I don't know if it's an illusion. ”

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "For the time being, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. With Nangong Zhi stirring up the wind and rain in the east, so that the eyes of the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect are gathered on the battlefield, it is also a good opportunity for us.

If we can seize this opportunity to develop rapidly, or if we can accumulate a few more stages of transformation, we will be able to grasp more initiative. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded helplessly.

Speaking of which, there is a big reason why Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu can coexist peacefully: common external pressure. This huge external pressure forced Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu to unite.

While speaking, when he came to the beach, Liu Xinyu saw the Arctic Ocean. I couldn't help but sigh: "It's spectacular!"

(I can't open my eyes when I have a cold these days, forgive me.) )
