Tang Jing should be lucky that he did not come to Zunlong Kingdom.
Otherwise, this kind of team game with kinship as the bond is really not something that an orphan like him can play, and he is afraid that not even the bones and dregs will be left.
Of course, it’s not just clan members.
Companies, business groups, and even various associations may become gamers.
There are also a very few lucky people, like Tang Jing, who obtained certain props or buildings in the early stage and soared into the sky, completing a counterattack from grassroots to a microclimate.
In short, there are all kinds of visible and invisible struggles.
After you sing, I will appear!
On the contrary, Tang Jing, because he was in an enemy country and far away from the whirlpool of struggle, became a spectator.
No, it’s a group favorite!
………
When studying the ranking list, Zunlongguo was just a passing glance. After all, I had already studied it several times.
Mainly focus on the Aztec League.
I want to see what great lords were born in the Aztecs, and whether there were any in the Valley Province.
This is what concerns Chang'an's vital interests.
Seeing that Xihai Town, the Aztec championship territory, was only ranked 44th, Tang Jing realized that the war between Chang'an and the Aztecs would probably last forever.
As Qin Shuang said before.
Once the war goes unfavorably, the possibility of the Aztec Alliance continuing to increase its troops cannot be ruled out, and with the opening of the territory ranking list, this possibility is also increasing.
Almost 100%.
To end this war, Chang'an must beat the coalition forces to pain and cry.
Fight until you are convinced!
To achieve this goal, we must continue to expand our military.
This is why Tang Jing agreed to accept the eleven generals recommended by Pei Ye without much hesitation.
Compared with conspiracy theories, getting through the current crisis is the top priority.
Just as he was thinking about it, the soldier Wang Er came in and reported: "Sir, there is a letter from outside. The octopus monster has awakened."
"oh?"
The octopus monster Paul has been sleeping since he devoured the corpses of his own people, so the murloc leader Karu has never been able to go to Naga City to negotiate.
One day passed and I finally woke up.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Tang Jing immediately stood up, left the lord's mansion, and walked out of the palace city.
Xu Chu led his troops to accompany him.
Octopus Paul's sleeping place was on the banks of the Merlo River. When Tang Jing arrived, Paul had already sunk his entire body into the Merlo River. A slight movement of his huge arms and legs could cause big waves.
The size has more than doubled.
Unfortunately, even after devouring the corpses of five companions, Octopus Paul still failed to advance, and his strength only reached the peak of the fourth level from the early stage of the fourth level.
It can be seen that the fifth level is indeed a big threshold, and it also reflects the power of the Shadow Guard from the side.
Before this, Tang Jing really didn't take the fifth level seriously. Unexpectedly, the fourth to fifth levels were so difficult to cross, like a natural chasm.
Just like Xu Chu.
He was at the peak of the fourth level when he debuted, but to this day, he still has not been able to break into the fifth level.
"Ah yes~~"
Sensing the arrival of his owner Tang Jing, the octopus Paul's head immediately emerged from the water, causing a splash of waves.
Look carefully, Paul's two eyeballs that were shot out before were regrown with this evolution after Tang Jing used the blessing technique to heal the wounds.
This can be regarded as the greatest achievement of this evolution.
otherwise.
A completely blind octopus monster's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Fourth level..."
Tang Jing stared at Paul, but what he thought of was the fourth-level crystal core, which was also the key to the advancement of the territory.
have no idea.
"Ting!!"
Sensing his master's emotions, Paul the octopus felt a chill.
Afraid of being ripped off.
He quickly said to please that he would enter the sea and kill the fourth-level sea monster to obtain the fourth-level crystal core.
Dedicated to the master.
"That's pretty much it." Tang Jing smiled with satisfaction.
After a few words with the octopus Paul, he immediately ordered the release of the fish-men leader Karu, and returned to the Caspian Sea under Paul's supervision to complete the mission he had previously assigned.
Carew excitedly accepted the order and left.
………
After returning to Chang'an City, Tang Jing was in no hurry to return to the Lord's Mansion.
First, we went to the ordnance station for inspection.
The war is about to break out. As the ordnance industry center of Chang'an, whether the Ordnance Institute can produce enough arrows, weapons and armor is crucial to the future war situation.
After the relocation and upgrade, the Ordnance Institute also made organizational adjustments.
It consists of the Jiafang Department, which specializes in forging armor, the Weapons Department, which specializes in forging weapons, the Crossbow Department, which specializes in manufacturing divine arm crossbows, bed crossbows and bows, and the Equipment Department, which specializes in manufacturing siege equipment.
In addition, more than a dozen warehouses of various types have been built.
Today, the number of craftsmen and laborers under the Ordnance Institute has reached 10,000 people. The Ordnance Institute is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall and covers an area of about four square kilometers.
Very spectacular.
This is all because the Ordnance Department entrusts the production and manufacturing of various military supplies such as leather armor, combat boots, cloth armor, cotton-padded clothes, tents, water bladders, etc. to relevant factories in the textile area.
Otherwise, the scale will more than double.
Upon learning of the Lord's visit, the actual person in charge of the Ordnance Institute, the dwarf Euler, hurried out to welcome Tang Jing and introduced the relevant production situation in detail.
"The departments under the ordnance station are working at full capacity and are forging day and night."
"On average, one hundred sets of armor, fifty shields, three hundred swords, three hundred spears, twenty war bows, fifty divine arm crossbows, five bed crossbows and two thousand arrows can be forged every day."
It's equivalent to saying.
The ordnance station's production capacity in one day is enough to arm a battalion.
But if we follow the standards of the combined arms, that is, every infantryman needs to wear iron armor, be equipped with a shield, a sword, a spear, and one of a war bow and a divine arm crossbow.
That's almost meaningless.
It can barely arm half a battalion, and even then, there is still a problem of insufficient armor supply.
But this is already the limit of the Ordnance Institute.
Don’t forget that in addition to being responsible for forging new weapons and equipment, the Ordnance Institute also has a very important responsibility, which is to repair damaged armor, weapons, etc.
Soldiers train every day, and it is normal for their equipment to wear out.
The workload is also huge.
Especially after a war, the repair work of weapons and equipment becomes even more arduous.
There are frequent wars like Chang'an.
Just the repair work of weapons and equipment takes up more than one-third of the Ordnance Institute's energy.
"Can we consider delegating the work of repairing weapons and armor to the military? Setting up blacksmith shops at each battalion and brigade station to carry out related repair work?" Tang Jing asked.
"Yes, yes."
Euler first nodded in agreement, and then said: "But there are two problems."
"First, it is only suitable for troops with garrison."
A field force like the Tiger Brigade cannot carry a blacksmith with it wherever it goes.
It would be easier to bring a blacksmith.
The most difficult thing is that there are also facilities such as smelting furnaces and forging benches. How can we provide them?
There is no way to bring it.
"Second, the stationed blacksmiths can only repair weapons, such as armors, especially heavy armors such as infantry armor and Mingguang armor. The forging process is extremely complicated, so they can only be repaired by the armor workshop department." Euler explained.
"That's true."
Tang Jing nodded, "Then we will pilot it in the Imperial Guard Camp, the Guards Brigade and the City Guard Brigade to see the effect first."
These three armies all have fixed camps.
When Chang'an City was planning, places were opened near various city gates to build various military camps nearby for the garrison of the Guards Brigade, City Guard Brigade, etc.
Even later redundancy was taken into consideration.
"OK!"
Euler nodded in agreement.
Tang Jing also knew that this was actually just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The work of repairing weapons and armor was decentralized, which meant that some of the blacksmiths needed to be diverted from the ordnance.
It will still affect the production capacity of the ordnance factory.
Only after the division of labor is clear, those responsible for forging new weapons will specialize in forging new weapons, and those responsible for repairing weapons will specialize in repairing weapons, and the overall work efficiency will be improved to a certain extent.
Better than nothing.
The real solution is to introduce more blacksmiths, especially middle- and high-level blacksmiths.
But this is the hardest thing to achieve.
As the mainstream territories entered the village stage, blacksmith shops were built in each territory. If the blacksmiths themselves were not enough, how could they be willing to use them for lottery?
As a result, the longer the time goes by, the less likely it is that Tang Jing can recruit a blacksmith from Zunlong Kingdom.
There is no way to expand the scale.
at the moment.
We can only hope that Bagg can convince the Hammer Tribe to send more dwarf blacksmiths.
