Both Tuoba Yuanye and Wu Zuoxi came to Li Cong's side. They looked at this military parade. In the past, people from the four empires didn't know what a military parade was. It turns out that this one is called a military parade now.
Looking at the phalanx with modern soldiers above, Li Cong smiled. What is a military parade? This is a military parade. Generally, such a military parade only occurs when there is a war. At the same time, Li Cong
Cong also invited many guests to visit such an army, but Li Cong's kindness seemed to mean that they didn't like it very much. This was the same as when foreigners came to China in the Qing Dynasty. The emperors of China at that time
I also feel that this is not of much use. If you want to win, you still need a certain level of strength. It is definitely not just about walking in a square formation neatly like this. However, this kind of training method definitely has its role.
If it doesn't work, the armies on Earth will never allow them to train such things all the time. Everything will have its reason as long as it exists, and this is no exception.
The troops that come here to participate in the military parade are not just something you can come to if you want. These seventeen infantry squares all have backgrounds. Most of them are troops that have shown their faces in various battles of the Cao Family Trading Company. The five cavalry
The same is true for the phalanx. In the infantry phalanx, the clothes they wear are already the latest military uniforms of the Cao Family Trading Company. They look almost like some armies on the earth. For people from the other three empires,
Wouldn't it be untraditional to wear such clothes? The pants have reached to the top of one's thighs. There is nothing blocking the outside. That's what they thought. But some generals didn't think that way.
Combat-style clothes are much better than their long-sleeved military uniforms, whether when running or attacking.
As for the marching baggage behind them, they can just carry it alone. Every soldier in the Cao Family Trading Company's army has three days' worth of dry food and ammunition, as well as their marching blankets, all of which are made of
It is made of wool from the Pilat grassland of the Southern Empire. Each piece costs 7 taels of silver per piece. This is why the Cao Family Trading Company purchases it on a large scale. If you buy it yourself, it will cost at least 10 taels of silver.
, for the three major empires, this blanket is for those soldiers? What a joke, those soldiers are not worth the money, it’s not that we don’t give them face, they are just untouchables, besides.
In their minds, these soldiers go to the battlefield to fight, not to work as handymen here. Soldiers should not do anything other than fighting, so soldiers do not do all the groceries on the battlefield.
It should be done by the handymen. But what they don’t know is that with so many more people, their expenses will be more, and some of these handymen are not familiar with some of the habits of the soldiers, and it is very difficult for them to do it.
It is easy to cause misunderstandings of this kind. Of course, there are some advantages. For example, when there are too many soldiers killed or injured, the use of these handymen comes out. They can change into soldiers' clothes and rush over to become soldiers.
That's it, it's just that they don't have any fighting skills, so they can only be treated as a pile of rotten meat. Apart from that, I really don't know what other abilities they have.
If this was the impact the infantry phalanx had on them, then the artillery drill that followed was an eye-opener for them. This was also a drill specially arranged by Li Cong, but there were just a few more spectators. Except for the three
In addition to the envoys of the great empire, Li Cong also invited the four major sects and some other high-level forces to show you the capabilities of our Cao Family Trading Company. Don't follow me in the Cao Family Trading Company in the future if you think you are a little capable.
Those who are blind and want to point fingers in front of us must have the ability, right? If you don’t have the ability, don’t be embarrassed here.
First of all, everyone moved their bodies. There was nothing in the open space just now. Now they have to go to a place one kilometer away, where Li Cong has quickly trimmed a city wall with cement and bricks. Such a city wall
If they were allowed to build it, it would take at least several years or even more than ten years. But in the Cao Family Trading Company, as long as there are enough people, it only takes a few days or up to a month. The artillery of the Cao Family Trading Company
They started bombarding this thing. At the end, airships from the sky also came and started their revenge on this city wall. If this place was close to the sea, Li Cong might also ask warships at sea to do it together.
This matter may shock them even more when the time comes. In fact, Li Cong doesn't want to expose his war potential so early, but there is no way now? Because he has already felt the influence of the entire continent.
Everyone may kill people like themselves. If the four empires really unite, we may not perish, but we will suffer huge losses.
In half an hour, a very powerful city wall had been completely destroyed. In this time, the armies of the three empires had just formed their offensive formations. Li Cong glanced at this with some distress.
The city wall, damn, tens of thousands of tons of artillery shells are just gone. This would be okay if it appeared on a real battlefield, but now it is just gone. This is a very distressing thing for anyone.
But at the end of the exercise, Li Cong was happy to see the expressions on the faces of the people from the three empires. It is estimated that they will not think about how to stop him after they go back. Indeed, what the people from the three empires are thinking about now is
Li never set his sights on them, so he was very happy. As for the life and death of the Southern Empire, they don't want to care about it. As long as they protect themselves, other things are dispensable. Who told you to take in the Cao family?
I am an enemy of the trading company. Their son was killed by those four guys. I heard that you are involved in this. You just want to kill him. If your country is not destroyed, it seems a bit unreasonable.
, the next war will definitely not be too small. From this point of view, it is better not to be so nosy. It is better to protect yourself.
"Boss, it hurts you to say this. Just now I felt like my heart was bleeding. Damn, is this a joke? Every shot of this shell is very important. This thing is not currently in our inventory.
It's enough. No one knows how far the next war will take them. It feels a bit wasteful to talk about this kind of thing, but look at them, every one of them looks like their dead father. I
I'm so happy in my heart. These people want to fight against us, but they don't have the ability yet. It's only a matter of time before we kill them." Takuba Yuanye said with a smile. He really saw those things just now.
People's faces. It turns out that when I came here, people from the three major empires didn't treat me very much, but looking at their expressions now, they all want to come over and curry favor with me. But it's already too late now, we don't have that time.
, whatever you want to do is your own business.
"Haha. All investments pay off. Don't you remember what I told you before? Being powerful on the battlefield is not really powerful, because when others realize that you are very powerful, your efforts have already paid off.
, Human life is the most precious thing. These things cannot be returned, but money is different. Now money is nothing to our Cao Family Commercial Bank, and hundreds of billions and trillions of money are nothing.
It’s nothing. I just wasted tens of billions of money this time and asked them to look at it. They will definitely report it truthfully when they go back. I guess the people in the three empires are not fools and they will know it very well.
We have such ability, what will be the consequences if they come to make trouble again? By then they will not be able to take advantage of it. This is all their own fault. They will definitely cut off their connection with the Southern Empire. We will do it appropriately.
It would be great if we can cause trouble on the front line for a while. Then we will not be afraid that the people of the Southern Empire will not sign the surrender document we have prepared for them. Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is always the highest level.
"Li Cong said with a smile. Li Cong has been studying this sentence all the time, and basically studies these things thoroughly every time. This is why Li Cong can often do the maximum at the minimum cost.
One of the reasons is that many people fail because they don’t understand this matter.
"Boss, your realm is really good, but as far as I know, people in the three empires now know the importance of the sea, and they have begun to set up some defenses in their outer seas.
, for example, setting up some iron locks and the like on the seashore to prevent our warships from entering, or setting up obstacles of one kind or another on the sea, which would also be a great hindrance to us. They also built them in coastal areas.
Although some catapults have a low hit rate, if there are a lot of them, we will have a lot of obstacles. It will not be so easy to attack them casually in the future." Tuo.
Ba Yuanye felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about some recent things. The advantage he had before was slowly shrinking. This was not a good thing for anyone. Li Cong didn't take this seriously.
of.
"In fact, this is an inevitable trend. People can learn. What will happen to the entire society if there is no progress? These four empires have not made any progress for hundreds of thousands of years, so when they encounter us
They have to be beaten when they are young, and for this reason, they all know that it hurts, so they will change. This is the same for us. If we were always like that before, this is for us
What's the use of saying it? Will we change? Of course not, because our warships will go everywhere and no one will be able to intercept you, and your own tactics will not change. This is absolutely
No, so we must also learn to adapt to this society in such a trend. Don’t we also have our own research institute? Let them use their imagination and make some changes to the enemy. We also need
Change, if we don't change, we may be the ones who fail in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, he will never come up with any more steel battleships, because such things cannot be used on a large scale even on the earth.
On earth, a fleet of tens of thousands of ships is already very powerful and can be said to be invincible in the world. But here, in such a huge area, a small merchant fleet has such
The scale of the warship is so large that the wooden battleship is the protagonist here, and the caliber of the artillery cannot be too large. If it is too large, the hull will not be able to support it at first. In fact, you can see it now
Well, these wooden ships need to be repaired once after going through three or four wars, and each time they are overhauled, otherwise these things will be useless.
"Actually, our people are not doing nothing. Our people are studying a tactic, which can be said to be a kind of ship ratio. We hope that our fleet can match these ships well and be responsible for the attack when the time comes.
The military support on the ground is dedicated to doing this, and some obstacles in the harbor will be left to those people. They will perform their duties, and I believe it will be much better than now." Wu Zuoxi's words made Li Cong's eyes light up.
, although the entire fleet is now similar to the modern navy in terms of clothing and other things, their classification and various coordination capabilities are not good. So they need to change and learn, just like now
Likewise, it is always better to let them figure it out on their own than to tell them how to do it well.
"Okay, these things are just trivial matters. I called you two here because I want you to express your opinions on the war in the Southern Empire. What do the soldiers below think?
What kind of result are they going to achieve to be the end, and what result will the four guys have after they come out of the Southern Empire? We can't let them just leave like that, right?" Li Cong thought of the look of those four guys.
The coldness inside can be felt by the two people next to him. If ordinary people feel like this, it will feel very cold, but Li Cong himself will also release some ice elements. This does not feel very cold, this
But in fact it's really cold. Just like now, this guy really released the ice element. This Tuoba Yuanye is okay. After all, he is a ninth-level warrior. It's nothing. But this Wu Zuoxi is not good.
He is just a seventh-level warrior, and he is man-made.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control my heart when I thought of those four guys. To be honest, I just wanted to teach the Southern Empire a lesson in this war and find them. I didn't expect that things turned out to be
In this situation, their original protagonist has turned into a supporting role. I wonder if they will feel uncomfortable knowing such a role change?" Li Cong saw some frost on Wu Zuoxi next to him and hurriedly
Wu Zuoxi said, Wu Zuoxi knew that this matter had always been a concern in Li Cong's heart, so he didn't say anything. In fact, this matter can still be changed.
"Boss, we lost track of those four guys after they left the imperial city of the Southern Empire. As you know, if a tenth-level warrior really wants to escape, unless a tenth-level warrior follows him, no one can
We couldn't catch them. Because we were in the capital of the Southern Empire, it was not convenient for us to let the tenth-level monsters in. It was because the aura of the tenth-level monsters was too strong. If he went in, it would probably kill the people inside.
There is no way to live a normal life. If we had known that we would end up like this with the Southern Empire, we should have let those monsters in. No matter what they thought of us, it would be much better than not knowing anything now.
." Tuoba Yuanye said depressedly. He was originally responsible for this matter, but now that there is no one left, he himself feels very guilty. However, when Li Cong knew the news, he didn't blame him.
Just like what he said, these tenth-level warriors are all powerful. If they want to run away, they won't be able to catch them. Just like what he said, unless they are caught by the tenth-level warriors.
"Although we cannot predict how things will develop, it is still possible to find them. I have already explained that according to the information Min De gave us, the health of the third among them has not recovered yet.
, they can’t get better things, so they have to use things like Ten Thousand Years Ginseng to prepare it. There are only so many ginsengs in various places. If we can pay attention to this, it should be no problem. Let’s take a look at three for now.
There are not many people in the Great Empire who want to buy this thing. It seems that the four of them are still in the Southern Empire. Now we have to hurt the Southern Empire. In this case, I guess they will help us find this person together.
, then we will be very convenient." Seeing that Li Cong's face was not so good, Wu Zuoxi quickly told some better news. As expected, Li Cong's face became somewhat happy after hearing it.
.
"Well, just hurry up and do this. Tell the people below that everything must give in to this matter. As long as there are some clues, report them immediately. If they can't do it, let the headquarters do it and mobilize them.
We sent out 50 airships specifically to do this, and we absolutely cannot let them slip through the net like that." Li Cong said angrily, Li Cong couldn't stand these four guys at all anymore, so he had to kill them as soon as possible.
The best yet.
"We will arrange things, but what should we do here in the Southern Empire? Now we are in a difficult situation. We originally just wanted to use this method to let the people in the Southern Empire see our determination, and then they
We would have called those four guys out, but those four guys actually ran away. No matter how we attacked the Southern Empire, they would never be able to get us the people we needed. Speaking of which, we were really
I'm depressed about this matter. If we don't attack now, we can definitely keep the area we occupied. This can be said to be another huge victory for us in addition to the dozen or so counties and cities in the Eastern Empire." Tuoba.
Yuan Ye said, indeed, this is what is facing the Cao Family Trading Company now. If they continue to attack, many people are worried about whether they can continue to fight. You must know that the potential of an empire is very huge.
If an empire were to unleash all its strength, they probably wouldn't be able to resist it. This would seem to be a bit difficult for them, but with such a bright future ahead of them, I don't know what would happen if they gave it a try.
How about it? As long as they can break through the second line of defense of the Southern Empire, the situation from now on is still unknown. If possible, they really want to break through the second line of defense of the Southern Empire.
Where there are benefits, there are risks. Sometimes there are not only so many benefits, but also so many risks. Now the benefits obtained by the Cao Family Trading Company are indeed great. If they can break the second line of defense, they will
It’s even more powerful, but now there are also great risks. All you think about is what will happen if you break the second line of defense, but what if you can’t break it? Then it may happen.
It’s a huge problem. At that time, the morale of the entire Cao Family Trading Company’s army will be low. Many people will also say, aren’t we invincible? How could we leave Maicheng in the Southern Empire?
Isn't this a bit unreasonable? The impact is huge. They have never failed before. If they fail all of a sudden, it will definitely have a huge impact on their psychology. Just like this one now
They are exactly the same, so this must not happen. For the other three empires, if the people of the Cao Family Trading Company fail, they will definitely publicize this matter everywhere, and then the Cao Family Trading Company will suffer even more losses.
Too much. I finally have a chance to attack them. If I don't seize it, I will be really sorry for myself.
"The attack will be a huge victory. By then one-third of the entire Southern Empire may be ours, but we must also see clearly. The Southern Empire has assembled more than 2 billion troops this time. Just standing alone
It's a huge pressure to kill you there. We currently have only 6 million troops to attack. Even if we use all our reserves, we will only have less than 10 million troops, which sounds like a lot.
Yes, but they are scattered on a 3,000-mile front. There are hundreds of cities on this 3,000-mile front, which means that the enemy can have tens of millions of people in each city, but what about us? We only have
It can be divided into tens of thousands of people, which is a gap of hundreds of times. Our people are very capable of fighting, but we have never encountered fighting at such a proportion, and we don't know whether we can win like this.
In the past, you all said that we have a lot of troops, with hundreds of millions of troops. I think it is still a lot. I didn’t expect that we could only deploy such a small number of troops in such a huge war.
"More than 10 million people, isn't it a bit funny?" Li Cong said a little depressed. The good news he heard before was that the Cao Family Trading Company's army had developed again and became powerful again.
But I never expected that the number of this army would increase, but now it cannot be mobilized.
"Boss, it is a fact that our army has grown in size. No one is lying. But you also know that our territory is too big. Just like within the three major empires, every place with our commercial power is
There will be some of our strength. Although it is not a lot, there will be a lot of them if they gather together. It is already very good that we can mobilize tens of millions of people this time. I have already asked them to quickly come to the recruit company.
OK, we can have support of 5 million people by about the middle of this month, and we can have 3 million people every month from now on. If we exceed this number, we may have great difficulties. If we can support
If we increase the scale of our artillery, I think our combat effectiveness will be even more powerful. There are also large serial crossbows and super serial crossbows. We have already used large serial crossbows on the battlefield before, and one can
It can hold up dozens of their crossbows. This super serial crossbow is the one you launched recently. He can fire 40 crossbows in a minute, making him like a devil. The most important thing is the crawler conveyor belt. As long as it is
If his spring is not broken, he can keep firing like this. We have done a test and the spring basically needs to be replaced after firing 3000 to 4000 times. Our soldiers are already very skilled in replacing this thing.
If there is one such thing among every one hundred of our soldiers, then our life will be really good." Wu Zuoxi looked at Li Cong and said, a big killer who recently joined the army is what Li Cong calls a super weapon
It's a serial crossbow thing. This thing is just like the heavy machine gun on the earth, except that it is not as powerful as the heavy machine gun, but it can also fire 40 serial crossbows in one minute. The most important thing is that the range of this thing can reach about 2000 meters.
, this kind of thing is the best for dealing with cavalry. When a mass of black people comes up, I can hit them all immediately. Of course, it is impossible to kill them, but the brothers behind you are rushing.
It will definitely kill you if they come up. Just leave this matter to them. We can do it just by watching.
The super serial crossbow is a modification of the heavy machine gun on the earth. It also requires four people to operate this thing. One person is responsible for shooting, two people are responsible for guarding, and one person is responsible for supplying ammunition. This thing is currently used by the entire army.
There are less than 500 in the world. In fact, mass production has not started on the Earth side. They are all in the experimental stage. Now it seems that the experiments are very good. Li Cong has already made the Earth side quickly
Production of this thing is guaranteed, and it is guaranteed that about 700 of these things can be produced every day. Now there are about more than 2,100 of them. If we follow this speed, we will be able to equip more than 5,000 of them when we start the attack.
One in a hundred people? Is this goal too low? I feel that one needs 50 people. The establishment of a platoon in Cao's Commercial Bank is 100 people. In fact, one platoon can have two of these things.
However, the soldiers must be skilled in the operation, and their soldiers must avoid this shooting trajectory when charging. This is nothing on earth, but no one here knows about this thing. If this is
If you don't do it right, it may really lead to manslaughter, which is not good. If you use such a super weapon to kill your own people, the people on the other side will laugh out loud when they see it.
Well, so this thing is not just something that can be used after it is made, it must also be learned by one's own people. But if it is to be used for defense, then there is no need to learn it, because when it comes to defense, one's own people must learn it.
They are all inside the city wall, only those outside will be beaten, and people outside are also enemies and do not need to pay attention.
"I will take care of the super serial crossbow. Don't worry about it. We must use these few days to make the soldiers familiar with this thing, especially the infantry's cooperation with him. We must not let our
The soldiers ran in front of our ballistics. If so, it would really help the enemy. Do you think that if 50 of our soldiers were equipped with one of these things, I wonder if it would increase their combat effectiveness a lot.
? And how much can it be increased?" Li Cong is not very clear about some things on the front line. He knows the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, but what about the enemy? What about the terrain? All of these are things that can affect the combat effectiveness.
, these two people have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they know this very well. If you ask them, there will definitely be no problem. When I heard Li Cong said that there can be a super serial crossbow for 50 people,
There was a smile in Wu Zuoxi's eyes. After all, he is a scholar. He can still hold it back, but the one next to him is not so well-educated. He is already about to jump for joy.
If such a thing can be accomplished, it will be no problem to kill their second line of defense. Moreover, I have a very good strategy. I believe it can cause the people in the Southern Empire to lose a lot, as long as they rush
Come. I won't let you go back.
"Haha, as far as I'm concerned, you are a great butler. You know as much about the front line as I do." Seeing Wu Zuoxi was about to speak, Tuoba Yuanye quickly took over the conversation. Some things must be done.
Speaking for himself, he didn't know that there would be such a powerful thing in this world before. Normally, masters like him would not like such weapons. For them, they all respect their own abilities.
He will never look at other things, but now, he feels that this thing is really lethal, and if he is allowed to use this thing, he can guarantee that he will shoot more than 40 shots in one minute.
All of them hit one person. This is human ability. In fact, the speed is faster. As long as he can adapt to it, it will be no problem. Of course. It is impossible for Li Cong to expand the original just for such a small amount of lethality.
Ye wants to do this, but he has more important things to do.
"Why are you so happy? Does this thing have anything to do with you?" Li Cong looked at this guy and said. Sometimes he didn't like this very much, but he didn't expect Tuoba Yuanye to like this thing so much.
Is there something wrong with this guy's head? If a master is interested in such a thing, what will happen to society in the future? He won't just use such a thing to deal with other masters, right?
"Of course it is related. I like this thing the most. I used this thing to kill 325 people in the last battle. In just five minutes, I killed so many people. I am not a shooter.
Those people below, I only hit those people on the city wall, those who showed a little bit of their heads, how about it, my ability is pretty good, isn't there a dragon and tiger list in the army now, I am that one
The person who kills the most people with a super serial crossbow. With such a record, I estimate that many people will not be able to break my record. Also because of my heroic performance, the city lord of that county immediately opened the door and surrendered. Speaking of which, I can defeat that person.
I contribute a lot to the county, and no one else has my ability, so I pay more attention to this thing. If I can train a lot of shooters, it will also be of great benefit to our army.
"Yes." This guy said with a smile. Even a ninth-level warrior needs fame, especially in a place like the army. If you have military exploits, you will be able to raise your head no matter where you go.
Wu Zuoxi is extremely envious, but there is no way. He is a scholar. Although he has the body of a seventh-level warrior, he does not have some fighting skills. He is very clear about his abilities. Usually
It's okay if you scare the common people or something, but if you really deal with those people, it won't work. It's better for you to be honest and not participate in such a challenge, otherwise you will be like other seventh-level warriors.
If the gap is too big, I won't be able to get it off my face. How can I say that now I am also a first-level manager of the Cao Family Firm, not an ordinary person.
"Haha, don't worry about this issue. I can allocate it in a week." Li Cong said, although this output is a bit difficult for people on earth, the technology over there is very advanced after all.
For those who are well-developed, as long as they give orders to them, they can complete them in the past. Difficulties are the best catalyst for the people over there, especially if the people they have always admired give them orders, they will be even more desperate.
If it is completed, it will be a good reward for them, and their life will become that of another person.
"What I want to know is, if we supply it according to the proportion just now, how much can our combat effectiveness be improved? Do you have the confidence to break through the second line of defense for me in the end? Think about it and answer me, all of this is
We are not in such a hurry, we are riding a tiger now and cannot afford to lose. If we lose, our Cao family business will suffer great losses." It is rare to see Li Cong say so solemnly, and Tuoba Yuanye also felt this at this time
He was so scared. Did he answer a little too quickly just now? If so, he really needed to think about it carefully. But when he saw the look in Li Cong's eyes, he knew that he had been fooled.
, Li Cong was already laughing.
"Okay, don't put so much pressure on yourself. In fact, life is full of many challenges. If everything is prepared, wouldn't there be no other variables in life? Just work hard and do it.
, I won’t put too much pressure on you. In fact, I know that your own pressure is already very high now, but I won’t put any more pressure on you.” Li Cong said with a smile, his old friend
Just now, my face turned a bit ugly. This guy was too serious. Why couldn't I help teasing him?
"Good guy, I was so nervous just now. It really didn't scare me to death. I thought when did you become so formal? It's like our Cao family firm is at the point of life and death. Don't worry. With these things,
As long as nothing happens in the Southern Empire, and the other three empires don't have a large number of experts to support them, there will be no problem. It will be a matter of time to lay down their second line of defense.
We will eventually stand at the place of victory, and the Southern Empire is not our opponent." Takuba Yuanye is very confident to do this. The biggest reason is the super serial crossbow. They didn't have such a thing in the past.
They can all be invincible, and they are even more capable now. In fact, Tuoba Yuanye hasn’t told Li Cong yet, but there will be a battle around the super serial crossbow soon. At that time, a large number of troops in the Southern Empire can be killed.
, use their lives to verify whether their weapons are capable of that. The one who is so cruel is Takuba Yuanye. Others may not be able to be so cruel, but then again
