"I remember that there are artillery in the company. I wonder if it was the work of the Special Attack Society?" Shu Xingbei tried to ask.
When he said this, he was actually suspected of revealing his secrets. But even if Shu Xingbei did not reveal his secrets, Big Yuan would not believe that there were artillery on Caoye Island.
To put it bluntly, the four major forces all know that there are no powerful weapons on Grass Leaf Island. On the surface, Grass Leaf Island is prosperous, but deep down, it is still too weak.
"Oh? So that's the thing. To be honest, Chief Instructor Shu said that not only our Special Attack Company can develop artillery, but Spear Company can also develop artillery. In terms of quality, both sides are about the same. However, the purchase price of artillery is too high.
It requires maintenance all year round, and the cost is not low. Normally, the artillery of all major forces are currently placed inland. There are no attached islands. After all, it is inconvenient to move and it is not easy to assemble." Big Yuan did not explain in detail enough.
.
"How many gold coins does a cannon cost?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"Instructor Shu, you have asked the right person. I really can't answer you if I ask you another person. I have worked in the technical department before, and I am really careful about big weapons like artillery. The cost is indeed ridiculously high.
, the price of an artillery piece is one million gold coins," Big Man Yuan said here and paused for a moment.
Next, "This is not too high. The key is the shells. One shell costs 30,000 gold coins. If you want to install a mobile artillery, the vehicle also costs 200,000 gold coins. It is said that the artillery fires out the shells, but in fact it fires out the shells.
They are all baskets of gold coins," Big Yuan said with great sadness.
"Ah, it's so expensive," Li Xing almost bit his tongue.
"Isn't that true?" Big Yuan smiled helplessly. Who wouldn't want an artillery piece? If you put it on the island even if you don't use it, it can also act as a deterrent, right?
Shu Xingbei frowned. He heard two key points. One was that the artillery was mobile and had to be mounted on vehicles. The other was that artillery was expensive. There was a problem Yuan didn't mention, and that was the range of the artillery.
Woolen cloth?
When Mr. Yuan heard Shu Xingbei's question, he was stunned for a moment.
"Instructor Shu, have you ever seen an artillery fire?" Big Yuan asked.
"Captain Li and I have both seen it, and based on our feeling, the distance is not too far," Shu Xingbei could remember the scene when Ark fired its artillery.
At this moment, an idea flashed across his mind like lightning.
"Our special attack company's artillery is 155 mm, with a range of about 50 kilometers. It is precisely because the range is not too far that we have mobile artillery. But I want to remind you that if the company uses artillery to deal with Grassleaf Island, the range
It may be further. The artillery of all major forces in Chiba Continent are facing south and are deployed on high ground. The artillery lands in a projectile line. The position is high and the range is naturally long," Big Man Yuan explained.
"I understand," Shu Xingbei sighed, "What Island Master Yuan said is exactly what Captain Li and I were worried about. To tell you the truth, we had the idea of purchasing artillery at first. When Island Master Yuan said this
As soon as we were introduced, our hearts went cold and we couldn't afford it."
Big Yuan didn't say anything more, he just smiled.
If you can't afford it, that's reasonable. If you can afford it, that's weird.
Millions of gold coins are not something an island can afford.
"But now that I've figured it out, I'm not afraid anymore. If the company really uses artillery to deal with us, we will definitely have no chance of escaping. But what the company has obtained is no longer the Blades of Grass Island. I'm afraid that under the fire, the blades of grass will be destroyed."
The island is probably gone," Shu Xingbei shrugged.
After a conversation, Mr. Yuan and Li Xing signed a material supply agreement and left happily.
Shu Xingbei and Li Xing were sitting there, Li Xing looked worried.
"Come here, call Wang Yi, Chen Baoguo, and Li Cunliang," Shu Xingbei ordered the guards.
"Yes," the guard hurriedly ran out to summon the person.
Half an hour later, three people arrived.
"You three, do you still remember the Ark?" Shu Xingbei asked with a smile.
Ark? Of course I can remember it. They all came from the outer sea.
Wang Yi immediately thought of something, and he immediately looked at Shu Xingbei, "Chief instructor, didn't you ask us to find the whereabouts of Ark?"
"Yes, find a place to park the ark, preferably an uninhabited island, an inland sea, or a nearby harbor," Shu Xingbei was really happy. There is still no shortage of smart people in this world. He mentioned this
, Wang Yi immediately thought of it.
"You three, each lead a team to find the whereabouts of the Ark. Whoever finds it will report back as soon as possible, and I will give him credit. Let's set off immediately," Shu Xingbei made arrangements.
"Yes," Wang Yi and the other three people went out immediately.
Li Xing looked at Shu Xingbei, "You mean, use the artillery on the Ark for defense?"
Shu Xingbei nodded, "Now we are counting on good news from them."
Shu Xingbei has also considered the whereabouts of the Ark. The Ark was built by Zhao Shangzhi using the resources of Grass Leaf Island.
Due to the size of the Ark, it is impossible to set off from Grass Leaf Island. Therefore, the location where the Ark is built must be on a small island close to the outer sea. And this island is 100% an affiliated island of Grass Leaf Island.
The reason why he was so sure was because of Shu Xingbei's intuition. The company was going to pick up people overseas, so it was impossible for everyone to make a fuss. Zhao Shangzhi was building ships on the island, so the impact would naturally be small.
As for whether Zhao Shangzhi will dismantle the Ark after returning, Shu Xingbei cannot rule out this possibility.
Just pray to God not to let the dead ghost Zhao Shangzhi dismantle the Ark.
For three consecutive days, Wang Yi and the others did not reply to a single message. To be cautious, Shu Xingbei personally took Sea Ant Xiaosi out to sea.
Shu Xingbei drove a speedboat and searched for the possible whereabouts of the Ark on nearby islands.
In order not to let go of any chance, Shu Xingbei even went to the farmers' homes to inquire about the situation.
The farmers were very enthusiastic, even though no one knew Shu Xingbei.
Finally, one evening five days later, Shu Xingbei saw a location where the Ark was most likely to be hidden. It was a sheltered port. Ten kilometers further from there, there was an uninhabited island.
Sea Ant Xiaosi was flying in mid-air, searching, and communicating with Shu Xingbei from time to time.
The so-called port turned out to be a highland that was later submerged by sea water. The more Shu Xingbei looked at it, the more he felt that this area was most likely the location where the Ark was launched. He came to the uninhabited island and looked around. There were scattered on the island.
Some rivets and some cut iron pieces.
That's right here.
The area of the uninhabited island is not small, covering a hundred square kilometers. The island is a desert with not a single blade of grass growing.
Shu Xingbei summoned Sea Ant Xiaosi and asked him to search the island, while he himself walked along the route around the island.
Where did Wang Yi and the three of them go with their men? Why was there no movement at all?
While Shu Xingbei was looking for traces of the Ark on the uninhabited island, ten elite members of the Dragon Regiment from Spear Company were watching the surveillance.
"The regiment leader said that if Shu Xingbei wants to sit back and relax on Grass Leaf Island, his next step must be to launch artillery," deputy regiment leader Tian Ding said to the elites in the control room, "So you must work around the clock
Pay attention to the developments on Grassleaf Island. If there are any special circumstances, report to me immediately."
"Yes," the ten elites responded immediately. Ten people, facing ten computer screens. If Shu Xingbei were here, he would definitely see the entire Grass Blade Island, which is divided into ten parts, and each part has
There are people watching at every corner.
Under such intense surveillance by the company, Grassleaf Island is indeed like an undefended island with no secrets at all.
Deputy leader Tian Ding was promoted by Long Teng after Yang Jun.
Long Teng exchanged Cheng Xiaoning and returned to the company headquarters. He was not dismissed from his post and questioned. President Cheng Yongsheng just said to him lightly, "No matter what means are used, we must take back Grass Leaf Island and kill Shu Xing."
Bei. If you can't do it, just keep your head."
Long Teng was extremely nervous. He knew that in the coming days, he would fight against Shu Xingbei wholeheartedly. Without him, there would be no Shu Xingbei. On the contrary, without Shu Xingbei, there would be no Long Teng.
Long Teng held analysis meetings for several days in the Dragon Group, asking his subordinates to come up with practical and good ways to capture the Grass Leaf Island.
The captains below all reported that the method was almost the same: direct bombardment with artillery.
Long Teng thought so too. But after he reported the battle plan to Cheng Yongsheng, Cheng Yongsheng directly rejected it.
"If it's that simple, what else do you need to do?"
When Long Teng heard this, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Using artillery to bombard him has been vetoed by the president. A hard attack will definitely be a repeat of the last story. Facing Shu Xingbei, Long Teng no longer has the confidence to win.
It was at this time that Long Teng thought of a way.
That is the Ark.
Just because you can't use the artillery on the mainland doesn't mean you can't use the artillery on the Ark.
In this way, Long Teng and Shu Xingbei came up with an idea.
"Come on, call Sang Qingmu," Long Teng sat in his office and immediately thought of the person who might know the whereabouts of Ark.
An hour later, Long Teng came to the monitoring room in person, "You guys, adjust the image to the uninhabited island on the outermost edge of Grass Leaf Island."
"The outermost uninhabited island? Is it the desert island?" a soldier asked.
"Yes, it's the Desert Island. After the Ark returned, Captain Zhao ordered all personnel to evacuate the Ark and take the boat back to the mainland and Grass Leaf Island. I remember that the location was near the Desert Island, and when we went to sea, we also started from
Departing from the desert island," Sang Qingmu explained.
When the soldier was switching images, he saw more than ten speedboats heading towards the desert island.
"Where did those people come from?" Long Teng immediately pointed at the screen and asked.
"They came out of Grassleaf Island," the soldier who looked at another computer screen replied.
