Chapter 433 Situation

After a long discussion in the conference room, Fang Rong was satisfied. But Wang Rui was not satisfied. Because, what Zhang Hao has given now is only the solution to the battle on land, but not the solution to the battle at sea.

And now the biggest problem in the Land of Canglan comes from the sea!

This is not a time to be embarrassed. Seeing that everyone's discussion was coming to an end, Wang Rui 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 each other on a warship, then use an iron boat!

To be precise, a layer of iron was cast on the outside of the warship. Iron skin of black iron. This black iron skin itself can be refined into a magic weapon, etc., so that the warship has a strong defensive ability, and even other formation abilities.

As for the installation of artillery on warships, the area of ​​the base can be increased, and I-beams can be embedded into the hull to separate stress and recoil.

Such a modification is very simple, and I believe your craftsmen can do it.

As for black iron sheets, our Dayang Group has them. We can roll the current iron sheet from 0.5mm thick iron sheet to 500mm steel plate. Purity... You can choose from ordinary black iron to black iron with a purity of 98%.

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

Wang Rui immediately asked: "If you want to wrap a warship with a length of 150 meters, a width of 60 meters, and a height of 12 meters, and at least have the defensive ability of a low-level magic weapon, how much iron sheet do you need?"

"Oh...at least to have the defensive ability of a low-level magic weapon, then you need 90% pure black iron. If it is thick, it must be at least the thickness of an excellent shield, and it needs to be about 1.5 centimeters.

It is roughly estimated that a warship needs at least 4,500 square meters of iron sheet. Considering the cutting, riveting, etc. in the actual process, it is almost calculated on the basis of 5000 square meters. The density of black iron is about 8 tons per cubic meter, and the overall calculation is about 600 tons of iron sheet.

Oh, with a thickness of 1.5 cm, it should be called an iron plate.

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

"Then we need 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 still a 10% tariff."

Wang Rui: ...When you sold warships before, why didn't you mention tariffs.

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the morning of the third day, before the sun came out, the shore of Changshan Port was already overcrowded.

Today, Dayang Group's "Arctic Ocean Fleet" is about to set off to explore Liuli Island in the north. And Dayang Group's first huge 35,000-ton warship also officially entered service.

At this time, the battleship has stopped at the port. The 270-meter-long all-steel warship dazzled countless people.

For example, the flower Baixiang, standing on the shore and watching it fascinated.

Time passed by, and suddenly there was noise from behind, Hua Baixiang didn't need to turn her head, Yuanshen could 'see' the scene behind.

Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu came 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 separated by an enchantment.

Ever since Fang Rong and Wang Rui came to Zhang Hao to learn scriptures, the war situation in the east has undergone earth-shaking changes. The iron boats of the Land of Canglan are still being built. This thing does not happen overnight, but it will not take long before it can be used in war.

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

This time, Langya Kingdom was caught off guard from the very beginning. In just two days, the defense line of the Kingdom of Langya retreated hundreds of kilometers, and the remaining territory of the country shrank by almost one-fifth.

The western and northern fronts simultaneously oppressed more than 100 kilometers, and the country of Langya was in a hurry. Especially since the two days of fighting, the kingdom of Langya has lost more than one million fighters, and the lost materials and supplies have piled up like a mountain.

Now the battleable army of Langya Kingdom is less than 3 million, and their morale is shaken. The most serious is the loss of strategic materials, resulting in the remaining soldiers facing a state of being without weapons. That's what kills.

This time the defeat was too sudden - different from the last time, the Langya Kingdom retreated voluntarily and buried a large amount of explosives underground, which directly caused heavy losses to the coalition forces of the Canglan Kingdom and the Shaoze Kingdom. But this time, the Kingdom of Langya suffered heavy losses. The loss this time caused the Kingdom of Langya to almost lose its ability to attack - the defense was very weak.

However, wars don't just happen on the battlefield, they also happen in the court and the country!

Nangong Zhi suddenly became enlightened, and he even took the initiative to contact the 'Northern Tang Kingdom' to form an alliance with the Northern Tang Kingdom!

When Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu got the news, they couldn't believe it—Nangongzhi, you dare to think too! The Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty originally attacked the Kingdom of Shaoze together with the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there was the support (supervision) of the Xiaoyao faction behind it.

But what shocked Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu's jaws was that the Kingdom of Northern Tang actually agreed; well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they agreed, but in the war of the Kingdom of Northern Tang, they did not work hard. As a result, the army of the Kingdom of Southern Tang suffered heavy losses.

And at this time, the Northern Tang Kingdom suddenly sent troops to attack the Southern Tang Kingdom. And made a slogan - regain the homeland!

Yes, the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty used to be one country - there was the Kingdom of Tang, and the founder Taizu is said to have come from an offshoot of an ancient clan: there was the Tang Clan.

But more than two thousand years ago, two outstanding princes appeared—neither of them was a prince; the two joined hands to kill the prince, and then... divided up the kingdom of Tang. From then on, the kingdom of Tang was divided into two, becoming the kingdom of Southern Tang and the kingdom of Northern Tang.

Back then, there was the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, 'Fengrao City', and now it is the imperial capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty. But the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty established its capital 'Yucheng'; Yucheng was an accompanying capital at that time.

Over the years, the two Tang kingdoms have been equally balanced, and they have restrained each other. Coupled with the Xiaoyao faction pressing behind them, the two sides are relatively stable overall, with only a few minor conflicts.

However, Nangong Zhi's visit brought new changes to the Northern Tang Dynasty: the technology, military equipment, machine tools, etc. from the Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group can be provided by Nangong Zhi here. There are also cheap pills and so on.

In addition, and most importantly, Nangong Zhi made the Northern Tang Kingdom see "the benefits of great voyages and the coming of an era of great voyages". However, the country of Northern Tang is located inland and has no access to the sea at all.

In contrast, the kingdom of the Southern Tang has the power of the sea. Once the kingdom of the Southern Tang rises, where will the kingdom of the Northern Tang... go?

Because of these considerations, and Nangong Zhi's various promises, etc., although the Northern Tang Kingdom has not formed an alliance with the Shaoze Kingdom, and it is impossible to form an alliance, the Northern Tang Kingdom has waged war against the Southern Tang Kingdom.

He vomited blood in a carefree manner—originally, the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty united to contain the Kingdom of Shaoze; now it's good, you guys are fighting on your own.

And the reason of the Northern Tang Dynasty is also very good-on the previous battlefield, the Southern Tang Dynasty cheated us once, and they didn't tell us about their retreat, so that we suffered heavy losses. So we are now renewing the unification war!

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

Nangong Zhi didn't let go of the opportunity, the army rushed forward without resting, and the same was true for the Land of Canglan. A real battle to destroy the country is about to begin.

Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu walked very slowly, and they were discussing these things. When they got to the beach, Liu Xinyu sighed with emotion: "I always feel that this Nangongzhi who supports me makes me feel uneasy. I don't know if it's an illusion."

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "For the time being, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is also a good opportunity for us to have Nangong Zhi stir up the wind and rain in the east, and let the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao faction focus on the battlefield." Chance.

If we can seize this opportunity to develop rapidly, or if we can accumulate a few more periods 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 both Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu to unite.

While talking, they came to the beach, and Liu Xinyu saw the Arctic Ocean. Can't help feeling: "It's spectacular!"

(I've had a cold for the past few days, so I can't open my eyes, sorry.)
