Monarch of Evernight: The problem of twenty-six dollars

bsp;The Forbidden Army left in a hurry and exited the restricted area designated by Qianye. They did not stay long after leaving the restricted area. They only rested briefly before breaking camp and heading back to the royal capital. After thinking about it, Commander Xue had no shame in staying here after being forced back by the naval gun. As for how he would complain to Nan Ruohuai after returning to the royal capital, Qianye didn't care or care.

In the next few days, the sky in Tacheng suddenly changed. It was like entering the end of the world. Huge cloud vortices were always rotating in the sky, making people in the city suddenly think that the sky was moving.

At the moment of panic, Xu Jingxuan personally came forward to inform the whole city, saying that this strange phenomenon was caused by Master Qianye's cultivation and there was no need to panic. It's just that although people's hearts are settled, heated debates are still happening.

Have people ever imagined that one person can move the world through cultivation?

In fact, Qianye himself was also very depressed. When Zhang Boqian revised Taixuan's military attack tactics, he considered all aspects, but he did not expect that Qianye had not yet faced the enemy, and the force movement in his body alone could move the heaven and earth on such a scale.

However, although the practice caused a commotion, there was an unexpected gain. The news spread at an alarming speed. People in the entire Tacheng area worshiped Qianye as a god, which was even more enthusiastic than the former national master. And nothing less. Some people even considered themselves to be the best people of Qianye and had nothing to do with Zheng Guo. Some even began to enthusiastically think about what the new country should be called.

With Xu Jingxuan here, the Western Expedition was carried out in an orderly manner. Since the beginning of the recruitment, batches of scouts have been sent out to collect the latest intelligence on the dark races in the West. By now, the latest batch of scouts had returned, hanging on the large map in the war room, markings gradually increasing.

When Qianye finished a stage of training and summoned the generals again, the large map was already covered with dense marks, and even a small tribal camp was clearly marked.

Seeing this clear and well-structured map, all knowledgeable people admired it and admired Xu Jingxuan.

During this period of training for the new army, the mercenary generals also saw Xu Jingxuan's ability to lead troops and his huge popularity in the Western Region. They have all been on the line of life and death, so they naturally know what kind of soldiers can be used on the battlefield. In just over ten days, Xu Jingxuan allowed a group of inexperienced civilians to initially master basic warrior skills and enforce orders and prohibitions. No general dislikes such soldiers.

Although most of the mercenary generals came from rough backgrounds, they can live in a neutral place until now and have such achievements. No one is stupid. They know who really knows how to fight and who is just reading military books. He is serious on the battlefield, and he will definitely not survive long if he talks on paper.

Xu Jingxuan stood in front of the map, straightened his back unknowingly, and his whole demeanor became calm and confident. He pointed at a series of marks and said: "This great corridor in the western border is more than 500 kilometers long. It is ninety kilometers wide and only fifteen kilometers at its narrowest point. It turns north here and extends for another one hundred and forty kilometers to the Emerald Sea, which is the headquarters of the werewolf."

He did not say much about the Emerald Sea, but pointed back to the Grand Corridor, "According to the latest information, there are a total of 166 large and small tribes of the dark race living within a hundred kilometers, with a total population of nearly Three hundred thousand. In addition, the dark race has built two large fortress groups here. In addition to the two main fortresses, there are also nearly twenty small fortresses or stone fortresses scattered around."

Some mercenary generals had solemn expressions, but several captains from the Song clan had relaxed expressions and said with a smile: "What age are you still building such small fortresses and stone fortresses? This is not to train our gunners. Is it accurate? ”

When the mercenary generals thought that this was indeed the truth, they all laughed. You and I were sarcastic about the stupidity of the dark race.

Qianye knocked on the table, asking them to quiet down and continue listening to Xu Jingxuan's explanation.

Xu Jingxuan's face was slightly red and he explained: "We in Zheng State have never had a fleet of this size, let alone a large ship that can withstand the bombardment of ground turrets. The fleet is mainly used for reconnaissance, chasing and annihilating the remaining enemies, and fighting in the wild. , will not participate in the siege.”

Qianye nodded. He seized more than a dozen large and small aerospace ships from Zheng Guo. Most of them were old models. Their maneuverability and firepower were lackluster, and they did not have enough firepower to destroy the main turret of the city defense with one shot.

In fact, the design of Zheng Guo City's anti-cannon is quite unique. It should be specially designed to deal with the strong attack of the high-ranking nobles of the dark race. It is powerful and has excellent defense-breaking performance. It can almost blast the belly armor of a battle cruiser. With this power, even a cruiser , and it cannot withstand the turret bombardment.

But Qianye has a battle patrol in his hands, which is enough to change the entire rules of the game. The dark race's first-line defense system, which they thought was impregnable, became vulnerable. After the small outer fortresses and stone fortresses were pulled out, the remaining two main fortresses could not hold up for long.

Xu Jingxuan ordered two more pictures to be hung, which turned out to be the structure and defense distribution map of the two main fortresses of the dark race. Although it is very rough, the facade structure is still clear, and the internal distribution is quite messy, but in the past situation of Zheng State, this is extremely precious information.

Qianye glanced at him, nodded and said, "You do have your heart."

Xu Jingxuan said: "My subordinates' wish for many years is to be able to build a large corridor and march to the Emerald Sea. So I usually have nothing to do, so I collected more information."

Qianye smiled slightly and said: "It's good to have such a heart. Follow me well, and it won't take long before you get what you want."

Xu Jingxuan breathed a little heavier and bowed solemnly.

In the past, the Zheng State was weak and had a vast territory, but most of its power was spent on internal fighting. Its strength was only equivalent to that of a county in the empire. Regardless of the official position setting, the specifications of the corresponding military and armaments were comparable to those of the stronger Qin Dynasty. It's almost the same in a large county. With such national power, even generals like Xu Jingxuan are unable to penetrate into the depths of the Great Corridor. They can only defend and prevent the dark race from rushing out of the Great Corridor.

When Xu Jingxuan retreated, Song Hui walked to the stage and hung up a picture. The mercenary generals below suddenly frowned, and they all had grimaces on their faces.

Song Hui’s picture is intricate and full of charts, numbers and formulas. The mercenary generals are all used to dealing with graphics, which makes them feel overwhelmed by reading, let alone the dense numbers. As for the formula that combines numbers and words, it is completely from heaven. No matter how hard you look at it, you will not understand it.

Even Qianye had to look carefully to see that this was a chart of the current economic structure.

What’s rare is that Song Hui not only included the Zheng Guo part in this list, but also included the Neutral Land and Ningyuan Heavy Industries. Qianye doesn't remember that she has ever been to a neutral place. Could it be that she was able to sort out such a complex and rigorous system just by consulting the information on the ship?

Song Hui briefly introduced the construction rules and uses of this model, which lasted less than five minutes. In fact, it was useless if she talked too much. Even Qianye couldn't understand it, and the group of mercenary generals all looked blank, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Xu Jingxuan is not much better. He is good at leading troops to fight, but how can you understand such financial management methods that originated from the core of the Song clan without a little foundation? You can also hear that there are several rules related to military logistics.

Song Hui skipped the reasoning part and directly came to the conclusion: "With the current output of black stone and other energy sources in Zhengzhou, with the efforts of the whole country, the annual output can run our fleet for three months. But with the current control alone In the corridor area, it will only take one and a half months. According to existing data, starting to build new mines and refining equipment from now on will double the output in about six months, and quadruple the current level in one year, but that will end there. . In other words, we either need to get more mines from Zheng, or we have to transport fuel from a neutral place or even from the empire itself. In doing so, the transportation cost will be higher than the price of the fuel itself. "

Qianye frowned. He had prepared a large amount of supplies for this expedition to the mainland, but he did not expect that after the conquest of the Zheng Kingdom fleet, the scale would nearly double, and the fuel demand would also more than double. Zheng's old warships are not very powerful and consume a lot of energy. They are all ferocious beasts that eat black stones.

Now that the fleet can maintain operation for more than a month, it must be replenished.

Song Hui waited for Qianye to think for a while, and then said: "This is just black stone fuel. Next, we will talk about the supply of parts and the repair of the aerospace ship..."

If you want to repair an aerostat, you naturally need a repair workshop, and you can imagine how big a workshop a battle cruiser needs. To build a workshop, you need equipment, you need craftsmen, you need power towers, you need to accommodate the families of the craftsmen...etc., etc., just a rough outline, Song Hui listed more than 170 items, not counting Detailed items under each broad outline. For example, there are more than thousands of important parts, and there are dozens of models of various consumables. There are so many of them, it gives me a headache just thinking about them.

Fortunately, Song Hui finally concluded that most of them can be obtained in Zheng State, and there will be some in Zheng State if there are no dark races. Yong Continent's own production is quite diverse. The quantity and high-end products are not as good as those of the middle and upper tier continents, but there are still a lot of mid- to low-end resources. It's just that the force here is too chaotic, the local exploration and mining technology is not enough, and the production is not good enough to attract foreign investment, which is why it is like this now.

Besides, even if the land is not available, it can still be transported from a neutral place or the empire itself, but it is more expensive.

It turns out I just want money. Qianye understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Hui saw Qianye's thoughts and said angrily: "This is not just a matter of money."

"What else is there?" Qianye asked humbly. He had already been given a headache by the pile of numerical formulas and really didn't want to read it again.

Song Hui took a picture of the map and said: "Didn't I just say that Zheng Guo has most of the things. I really don't see the need to keep this Zheng Guo. Can't you just bring it over? You It already occupies one-third of the territory, so what’s the big deal if it occupies another two-thirds?”

Qianye didn't notice that Song Hui was a complete war madman. It's just that he has promised Nan Ruohuai to let him be Prince Zheng. It is not good to abolish him like this before Nan Ruohuai has no obvious dereliction of duty or evil intentions. Moreover, it is easy to occupy, but it is not as easy to maintain as Song Hui said. Unless they loot and massacre the city and then run away, there is a high probability that it will turn into a security war.

Qianye thought for a while and said: "Zheng State is only such a big place, and it is useless to occupy it all. Whatever we need, we will naturally grab it from the hands of the dark race. We will start to prepare for the war from now on, and it will be officially launched in a week Western Expedition. In addition, Song Hui will be responsible for the logistics and can coordinate the supply of all resources in our territory."

This was considered to be a powerful move, but Song Hui was not very happy and said: "I don't want to stay behind, I want to fight!"

No matter how big her **** were, there was no way Qianye would agree to this. At that moment, Qianye ignored her sad look, arranged other personnel, readjusted the leadership rights, and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
