Datang Group is working hard to build Dongwan Island and turn it into a modern industrial base. Other countries in the world are not idle either. They are also working hard to build their own industrial cities and improve their industries.
strength.
Industrial cities began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The population of these cities generally exceeded 200,000. According to previous standards, they could be regarded as megacities.
But now, the population in these places is still increasing, sucking in the surrounding labor force.
The scale of the car-producing factories in Gobel and Binghan is so large that you can't even see the end at a glance. These production workshops that work around the clock supply tens of thousands of cars to all over the world.
The automobile factories in Yucheng and Longdao are larger and can produce tens of thousands of vehicles of various types every month, including civilian transport trucks, cars, military trucks, jeeps, etc.
The reason why such unscrupulous production is possible is that in the Nanla Empire, the Ice Kingdom, the Kingdom of Susas, the Kingdom of Pinewood, and the Kingdom of Calais, larger-scale oil fields have been put into production, and the scale of the refineries is also constantly expanding.
.
In the past, strategic locations were often passes and transportation hubs. Although these places had strategic value, their number was ultimately limited.
Nowadays, various countries have discovered that there are more and more strategic locations within their own borders, and each one is more important than the last!
Oil fields are very profitable, and there are many types of oil field equipment that are expensive, so oil fields and nearby refineries must not be thrown away.
In the same way, power plants built at a large cost cannot be ignored, because they must provide power for oil field production and also provide energy for industrial cities.
Let's talk about it, what kind of steel factory, military factory, vehicle factory, machinery factory... which one does not provide countless jobs, equipment is as expensive as gold, and cannot be ignored?
Even railways and highways are blood vessels and cannot be damaged easily! Because even if just one railway is damaged, there will be problems with the mobilization of materials, and the supply of food to the city and the raw materials to ensure industrial production will be cut off.
Without supply, huge industrial cities will fall into chaos.
Even the most humble water supply plant, sewer system, and modern hospital are important facilities that keep the city running.
Modern cities are more fragile, and modern industrial systems are more fragile in the face of war, which brings a new problem to rulers of various countries: how to protect it all!
In the process of industrial modernization, all countries have reaped the dividends of industrialization. They have more taxes, more abundant materials produced, and people's quality of life has indeed improved.
These countries have more money and are more powerful, so they are able to spend huge sums of money to purchase whatever they want: equipment, weapons, medicines...
The good news is that industrialization has liberated more people, provided more funds to various countries, and also given these countries the ability to manufacture weapons.
As a result, it became possible to arm more armies, and each country was able to form more troops to protect increasingly fragile cities and industrial facilities.
A few years ago, the war between the two kingdoms was considered large-scale with 20,000 to 30,000 troops involved.
Because there is only so much logistical supply capacity, each country only has so many troops, and there are only so many weapons and ammunition reserves, so the troops that can be mobilized are only of that size.
But nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of armies in various countries, and the simple military structures of the past, such as the so-called legions and battalions, have completely failed to keep up with the times.
As a result, the graduates who studied under the Datang Group Military Academy spread more advanced military organizations to all parts of the world.
The system of military divisions, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon began to become popular, and armies from various countries organized their own armies according to this system, and arranged them to the military level in one fell swoop.
In confusion, military commanders from various countries were forced to accept and get used to the emergence of some messy special services one after another, and the ownership of various new units became a mess.
For example, for the newly emerged airship forces, the distribution of command rights in each country is completely different. Some are directly owned by the monarch, some are assigned to military commanders, and some have established air forces.
Another example is the anti-aircraft artillery unit. God knows whether these anti-aircraft artillery units should be under the command of the army or should be established as a defense air force for unified deployment!
Don’t think that these things that seem to be taken for granted today are so simple, because in this era everyone is exploring new tactics and tactics, and no one knows the correct answers!
The good news is not that there is nothing: as time goes by, many countries have the ability to produce a variety of weapons, and at least in terms of traditional army weapons, the proliferation of technology is obvious to all.
Countries are beginning to produce machine guns and rifles, not to mention pistols. Many countries are also able to produce their own cannons and supporting shells. The weapons of each country are beginning to become more diverse.
In the past, because everyone could only purchase weapons, the calibers were actually very uniform. Basically, they were all 7.92 mm caliber, whether it was the K3 rifle of the Datang Group or the Cyric Type 1 of the Cyric Consortium, they were all the same.
of.
But later, the Mosin-Nagant rifle produced by the Ice Kingdom adopted a brand-new 7.62 mm caliber, which allowed many countries to see another possibility.
As a result, when countries produce their own rifles, they all make some comments on the caliber: some use 7.5 mm, and some use 6.5 mm.
The caliber of guns is not the hardest hit area. What is really shocking is the caliber of artillery! Artillery factories in various countries that let themselves go have gradually lost their technical constraints and developed cannons with various weird calibers.
The Datang Group's heavy 280mm caliber siege artillery inspired other countries, and Dorne's arsenal later launched a 300mm caliber heavy artillery, which opened the eyes of other countries.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the transportation of this kind of artillery was simply a disaster, although Dorn could only install this kind of artillery on the fortress to serve as fixed firepower, but other
Countries have followed suit one after another, treating artillery caliber as another form of national strength competition.
Subsequently, the arsenal of Sussus developed a cannon with a caliber of 310 mm. Transporting this cannon required a completely new idea: using a car to drag it in the front, using oxen and horses on both sides to help, and another car in the back.
push……
Then, under the "inspiration" of the Datang Group, various countries turned their attention to railways: obviously, relying on cars and cattle and horses obviously has an upper limit on transportation capacity, while railways and trains can raise this upper limit.
Immediately afterwards, the artillery calibers of various countries that broadened their horizons became confusing: First, the Nanla Empire developed a 400 mm caliber train gun. The Yangmu Kingdom followed closely and developed a 410 mm caliber train gun.
Train gun.
With this crazy development, the artillery caliber is about to break through the sky, approaching the 500 mm mark.
The large-caliber artillery is letting itself fly all the way, and the small-caliber artillery is also constantly "tossing". In the past, Cyric has always used 130 caliber, and Datang Group has used 130 caliber. Nowadays, the calibers of artillery in various countries are simply diverse, some, some, some
Yes, there are also...
Anyway, purely from the point of view of caliber, everyone has drawn a clear line between each other, and everyone looks unhappy when they look at it.
In short, the development of the petrochemical industry and the mining industry has become the cornerstone of industrial development in various countries around the world. The machinery and equipment working in open-pit mines where conditions permit are so huge that they are as high as several floors.
They are installed on rails of special width and work in circles along the mine to mine iron ore or coal.
Towering chimneys in factories in various countries are constantly smoking day and night, and many cities have been submerged in a choking fog.
In this way, half a year after Datang Group took over Dongwan Island, another huge industrial city appeared, and its name was Lines.
As a brand-new city built with the help of Datang Group, it has a complete sewer and water supply system, and has power supply facilities that far exceed specifications. Buildings with more than seven floors can be seen everywhere, and the spacious streets are all made of asphalt.
There are schools, hospitals and other facilities here, as well as cinemas, opera houses, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, casinos and brothels...
Similarly, on the outskirts of the city, there are countless factories of all kinds, which seem to be no less impressive than those in Bunas a few years ago.
With the construction of the city, the population here has already exceeded 300,000. Everyone knows that there will be no problem that the population here will exceed 500,000 in a few years.
On the most spacious street in Lines, which is the core area of Central Street, is a newly designed magnificent palace.
King Laite VII finally got his wish on this day. Amid the applause of congratulations from envoys from various countries, he proclaimed himself King Lains I and ascended the throne as emperor.
The celebration ceremony was extremely grand. Datang Group also sent a troop to participate in the military parade. Dozens of phalanxes passed by the military parade viewing platform one after another. The phalanx of Datang Group's security forces marching in Chinese goose-step was the most eye-catching.
Tang Mo fulfilled his promise. He provided more armored vehicles, cars and artillery for the military parade, which gave Lions I enough face.
The Nanla Empire was also given enough face. The Nanla Emperor sent his prince to attend the ceremony and announced on the spot that he recognized the Laens Empire.
Immediately afterwards, Dorne, Sussus, Calais, Poplar, Pine, Binghan and other countries announced their recognition of the Lains Empire, and Lains I became the first emperor to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with video records.
From then on, the name of the Kingdom of Laite would be changed to the Empire of Lains. Laite VII was also replaced by Lains I on this day.
A new empire was born.
