As the Cheer Army becomes more and more modern, logistical supplies have become a huge problem.
Fortunately, the Thor General Motors truck showed up in time and didn't even have to advertise.
Basically, for every ten vehicles produced, at least nine will be sent to the front line. In order to ensure the mobility and supply speed of the army, the Cheer Army also realized the importance of roads.
In the Eurasian Federation, the Principality of Chel with smooth trade routes has long planned a road that can accommodate four carriages traveling side by side. This kind of road is completely made of sand and gravel. Over a long period of time, it has become the Principality of Chel.
proud.
But when they saw the cement roads in Dortmund and Chester, they understood what a road is. Once it rains, the road will be muddy, seriously affecting the traffic speed.
As soon as the Thor universal truck appeared, it could easily pass through all kinds of bad roads. Compared with horse-drawn carriages, it is not that much better. Only truck drivers who have actually traveled on the roads in two places will understand what a road is.
On the road, their speed can only be 30 to 40 kilometers per hour at most. When the road conditions are good, it is only 50 or 60 kilometers per hour. However, on the roads in Dortmund, drivers can easily drive up to 80 kilometers per hour. If the speed limit is not 80 kilometers per hour,
The driver is confident that he can reach the truck's maximum speed.
In this regard, these truck drivers also do not understand why there is a speed limit on Dortmund's roads.
This is also the reason why the Republic of Chil decided to build roads across the country.
They need to use the road network to quickly deploy their troops to achieve rapid response and rapid counterattack.
Tonight the enemy reconnaissance line had only one infantry regiment. When they attacked early tomorrow morning, they discovered that the enemy force within the line of defense had turned into an infantry brigade.
Helen sat on the sofa and gave Aslan an update.
"Everything is going according to plan. We have started laying roads to other areas, especially the Principality of Soros, which has also agreed to let us lay roads into their territory."
"Ah That's good!"
Helen said softly: "It's good, but it's too expensive."
The roads in other areas are okay, they are managed by local nobles and wealthy businessmen, and the parliament allocates cement supplies. However, the roads in Dortmund and Chester are completely managed by the Raytheon Group, which costs more than 100,000 US dollars every month.
It made Helen feel bad.
She really regards the Raytheon Group as her own property now, so she spends money like water every day, which really makes her feel distressed.
Aslan couldn't help but laugh, walked to Helen, squatted down, put his ear against her belly, and listened to the movement in her belly.
Helen laughed softly and said: "You can hear noises there."
Aslan laughed and asked.
"How are things going on over there?"
Helen's face tightened and she said seriously: "Everything is ready, we will go over and solve it today."
"Okay, be careful, I will let Brooke accompany you as a guard."
Helen quickly shook her head when she heard that Aslan was going to send Brooke to her as a bodyguard.
Helen was so frightened that it was too exaggerated to ask a mentor-level expert to serve as her bodyguard!
Aslan smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you deserve it. It just so happens that the situation in Chester has stabilized. I also want to go back to the academy. I haven't been back for so long. I don't know how wild those boys have become.
"
Helen smiled sweetly.
"Thanks husband!"
………………
The cold winter is finally over.
The whole world seems to have become clearer with the arrival of spring. The daily wind is still cold, but it is no longer as biting as the previous days. The snow has begun to melt and the solid ice has turned into running water.
The black carriage with the Mihir family emblem hanging on it drove through the Imperial Avenue, the wheels making a creaking sound on the wet stone pavement. Grand Duke Mihir sat in the carriage and looked at the road through the opening in the window cover.
The scene above.
It was early in the morning, and the sun had just illuminated the street. In the past, almost no pedestrians were seen walking on the street at this hour, but in Archduke Michel's sight, many civilians appeared in groups.
Wearing dusty thick clothes, they walked in one direction. In the cold wind of early spring, these people shivered slightly, but they still walked in a hurry without stopping.
"A worker in a textile factory..."
Duke Michel muttered in a low voice: "It's so early to go out."
The old housekeeper carefully explained: "There are more and more textile factories, and agricultural production has begun to be outsourced into large farms on a large scale. More and more farmers have begun to work in cities. As the number of workers increases, the number of new factories has increased."
The number cannot keep up with the number of migrant workers. Over time, these factories begin to survive and eliminate the fittest. Workers who work longer can continue to work in the factory."
"That's it..."
Grand Duke Michel muttered and couldn't help but look out the window again.
He saw more textile factory workers coming out of their homes and walking in the direction of the factory. He also saw vehicles with the emblem of the Empire and the emblem of the Industrial Research Institute hurriedly passing by. They were transporting parts for various large machinery.
.
With Linda's return, the industrial development of the empire was greatly accelerated, and many large-scale machinery came into being. Among them, the textile factory was one of her masterpieces.
It's just that compared to the textile factory, Archduke Michel paid more attention to the Catrons automobile co-founded by Magister Linda and Viscount Peart. It was indeed a bit of a coincidence to name it after the imperial capital, but it was in line with the taste of His Majesty the Emperor.
Grand Duke Mihir subconsciously felt that the current behavior of the factory was not good, but he couldn't think of anything bad about it, but then he thought about it, they were just a group of civilians, so there was no need to pay too much attention.
On Imperial Avenue, he saw that an old warehouse had been razed to the ground. The building belonged to Viscount Peart, and the Viscount had decided to build a brand new factory building on the land where the warehouse originally occupied. That was Carter's.
The factory building of Longs Automobile Company.
The factory building has been completed, and the carriage from the Engineering Research Institute that we just saw is heading to this factory.
Grand Duke Mihir couldn't help but frown when he saw the imperial capital was so prosperous early in the morning.
The bustling era of great development seemed to have appeared overnight, and suddenly it was everywhere. It seemed that everyone was participating, the nobles and businessmen were smiling, and the people at the bottom had stable incomes.
All this seems to be developing in a good direction.
Grand Duke Mihir, who had spent most of his life in the core circle of the empire, had never seen anything develop so suddenly, and the scale and scope involved the entire imperial capital, no, it should be called the entire empire now.
He considers himself not a conservative, but these new things that suddenly appear always give him a very uncomfortable feeling.
It seems like a steel monster that is gradually growing.
