Chapter 53 Conquering the world is easy, defending the world is difficult
In the game, the armored transport ship can transport only about twenty troops at a time. How come it suddenly grows so many in reality?
But after Zhang Fan saw the last carrying instructions, he suddenly seemed to understand.
A behemoth like a base vehicle can carry two, so carrying 400 conscripts doesn't seem to be a big problem.
However, in this case, his original plan to build a hundred ships may be ruined.
Although I haven't seen the actual one yet, judging from the huge carrying capacity, it's probably not small. If a hundred of them are built, where will you put them?
Besides, there is another issue that Zhang Fan is most concerned about.
"Davari, why is it not recommended to use it on the ground for a long time?"
Looking at the tips given in the final instructions, Zhang Fan was a little confused for a moment. What does this mean?
"Reporting to the commander, the armored personnel carrier was initially developed to transport soldiers to the battlefield by waterways. However, as the battle line has lengthened, waterways alone can no longer meet our needs.
Therefore, in the later research and development, we installed magnetic levitation devices on the troop carriers, with the purpose of allowing them to land on land. However, their fuel consumption will be about twice that of those in water, and at the same time, they will be on land.
The device cannot be turned off at this time,
That’s the main reason why it’s not recommended that you leave them on land for long periods of time.”
Listening to Davari's explanation, Zhang Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"magnetic levitation?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think of the magnetic energy power plant in the base. Is this a kind of black technology?
"Yes, Commander, turning on the magnetic levitation will increase the load on the engine, which will increase consumption, so if you want to use an armored personnel carrier to fight on land, you must prepare fuel."
"I understand, let's build 12 ships first and look at the samples."
After listening to Davari's reminder, Zhang Fan nodded after thinking for a while, and then ordered twelve ships to be built first.
Since there is a shortage of oil, two more ships will be built specifically to carry oil.
After all, we still have to have a logistics team.
After looking at the armored personnel carrier, Zhang Fan's field of vision immediately moved down. After skipping the Hurricane-class submarine and Sea Scorpion, he finally stopped at a picture.
[Dreadnought-class battleship]
Cost: 1500 (industrial factory price reduction)
Armor type: Heavy armor
Weapons held: V3 rockets*60, triple 406mm main gun*3, twin 127mm secondary gun*6, supercavitating torpedo*100.
Engine power: nuclear engine
Fuel consumption: none
Description: The Soviet Army's peak combat unit during the Cold War, with excellent melee and long-range strike capabilities. It can also serve as a temporary naval battle headquarters when paired with radar. The only drawback is its lack of anti-air capabilities. It is recommended to use it with the Sea Scorpion frigate.
This data is so arrogant...
Looking at the Dreadnought-class battleships in the picture killing everyone, Zhang Fan's heart was already boiling.
If he remembered correctly, Britain should be at the stage of dominance on the sea at this time. They had colonies in almost every corner of the world, also known as the empire on which the sun never sets.
I just don’t know how long their battleships can last in front of the Dreadnought-class battleships?
By the way, then maybe you will have unlocked the Allied camp, and then the Dreadnought-class battleship will be paired with an aircraft carrier...
Just thinking about it makes people feel excited.
Just when Zhang Fan was impatiently preparing to issue the manufacturing order, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Dreadnought-class battleship is very powerful, but the problem is that it seems to be of little use at this stage.
Some people here may be curious. Considering the tonnage and strike range of the Dreadnought-class battleship, it can be driven directly to the Bohai Sea to deter and strike against it. How can it be called useless?
This idea is good, but the problem is that this is not what Zhang Fan wants.
As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it. For Zhang Fan now, the capital is almost the same as something in his pocket. He can actually take it at any time if he wants.
Dozens of Kirov airships are blasting past, do you think anything can stop him?
But the question is, what happens after you take the capital?
Do you think others will obey you just because you captured the capital?
I'm afraid that without the control of the Qing court, there will be countless rebels in the world, and the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty may happen again.
Indeed, for Zhang Fan, these are not big things, but the question is how many people will die during this period?
Zhang Fan is not afraid of killing people, and he is indeed not a soft-hearted person, but the question is how much effort will it take for you to regain these places?
You have to send troops, you have to take care of people's livelihood, and you have to make up your mind about who to take care of, right?
Now he can't even handle Jiangnan. If the great cause of the world really comes to dominate it, he won't be able to do it even if he is exhausted.
It is easy to conquer, but governance is a big problem. Now that Qing Ting is supporting him, Zhang Fan only needs to expand his territory a little bit and fight steadily.
Otherwise, even if we take over the world, if we don't manage it well, we might as well not take it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's original thoughts slowly died down.
Nowadays, relying on troop transports and Kirov airships has been able to ensure logistics and troop transportation problems to the greatest extent. Now if a battleship suddenly comes, I am afraid it will end up being just like the radiation engineers.
Instead of spending maintenance fees to maintain a battleship that can only be seen but not used, it is better to use the money wisely to gain control of this land first.
"Davari, please give me an order to have a regiment on standby. After the construction of the armored personnel carrier is completed, go straight to Jiangning. At the same time, order the air team to do the escort work.
At the same time, twenty magnetic blast infantry were sent to follow the air team. After landing, they would clean up the Jiangning defenders.
I have already seen the power of radiation engineers, and this time I will see the power of magnetic blast infantry."
Looking at the last ray of the setting sun setting on the horizon, Zhang Fan issued his order unhurriedly.
According to Zhang Fan's original plan, there may be a very long period of stagnant development after this battle, and this battle will allow him to fully experience the power of the magnetic blast infantry.
As a product of the super soldier project, there is no doubt about the destructive power displayed by the radiation engineers. That scene is still fresh in Zhang Fan's memory.
I just don't know how destructive the magnetic blast infantry will be. I guess it won't be much worse even if it's not as terrifying as the radiation engineer.
