On the northern front of the Langya Kingdom's imperial capital, Nangong Zhi is on a personal expedition. Although he still carries the title of general, everyone understands that Nangong Zhi is the emperor of the Shaoze Kingdom. What he lacks now is just a title.
But at this time, Nangong Zhi frowned. The current war situation was something that Nangong Zhi had never thought of before! He thought that the war might be difficult, but he did not expect it to be this difficult.
The Langya Kingdom is crazy! They actually used hundreds of thousands of legions as bait to drag almost half a million elites from the Shaoze Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom to their deaths.
This time Nangong Zhi was shocked.
The Kingdom of Shaozhen has been fighting for these years, and the country is in need of reconstruction. The loss of hundreds of thousands of legions is a bit crippling. If it weren’t for the war that could not be stopped, and if it weren’t for the endless support of Dayang Group, Nangong Zhiyu would have withdrawn his troops.
idea.
However, the war has reached this point and it is impossible to stop.
It is impossible for Nangong Zhi to give Langya Kingdom a chance to breathe. Not to mention, the Holy Land behind both sides has long been involved. The decision-making power in this war now lies with the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect.
Nangong Zhi looked at the heated discussion among his think tanks and was suddenly in a trance. He suddenly thought of a question, a very serious question:
The recent wars, etc., seem to have the shadow of Dayang Group behind them! Although Dayang Group is not directly involved, let’s not talk about others, let’s talk about Shaoze Country itself. The unification and strength of Shaoze Country is the credit of Dayang Group
.
But we must also see that in the current war, the shadow of Ocean Group seems to be behind it?
Nangong Zhi was still thinking, but someone came in to report that Wu Fanghai, the commander-in-chief of Qixia Kingdom, came to visit.
Wu Fanghai? Arriving so soon? News came from the Kingdom of Qixia this morning.
As a general, he certainly knew this old commander. He was the first military person in the Qixia Kingdom. When Nangong Zhi went to the Qixia Kingdom before, he had asked Wu Fanghai for advice on military issues.
Nangong Zhi came out to greet him in person, but saw Wu Fanghai, who was getting older, and Wu Fanghai was accompanied by more than a dozen people who looked extraordinary at first glance.
When they met, Wu Fanghai was polite and said directly: "It's causing trouble for the general."
Nangong Zhi smiled and said: "If General Wu comes, it will cause trouble. I hope this kind of trouble will happen every day."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Nangong Zhi invited Wu Fanghai and others into the military camp and gave everyone a brief introduction. Finally, Nangong Zhi said to everyone: "Come, let us warmly welcome the arrival of General Wu Fanghai. General Wu Fanghai is here on behalf of the Kingdom of Qixia.
To exchange military experience with us, especially in the current war.
I believe everyone knows that today's war model originated from the Kingdom of Qixia; therefore, many experiences of the Kingdom of Qixia are worthy of our attention and learning."
Everyone immediately gave me a warm welcome, which was indeed warm and without any falsehood.
After a while, when the applause stopped, Nangong Zhi said to Wu Fanghai: "General Wu, we were very happy when we heard that you were coming. I wonder if you can explain the war in Qixia Kingdom?"
Wu Fanghai smiled: "Of course it's no problem."
At the invitation of Nangong Zhi, Wu Fanghai stood on a high place. Although the old general's hair had turned gray and his appearance was obviously old, he was full of energy at this time: "Today, by the order of the Queen, I came to the front line of Shaoze Country to observe
The military situation is an honor for me, Wu Fanghai.
In the past two years, I think there have been three major battles in the west of the Fertile Continent, and these three major battles are partly sequential.
In terms of time, they are the unification war of the Qixia Kingdom, the unification war of the Shaoze Kingdom, and the ongoing war.
The Queen called this war: Coastal War!
Why is it called a ‘coastal war’? According to Zhang Hao, our Minister of Marine Development, we are entering a new era, a new era of black iron and great navigation!
In this era, winning the ocean is as important as winning the land!
Land is the fundamental place! The ocean is the place of dreams! And if we want to support new dreams, we need...a large amount of spiritual materials! This spiritual material can be summarized as: black iron!"
The crowd burst into warm applause that didn't stop for a long time.
Wu Fanghai waited for the applause to subside and continued: "In history, we have never had so much black iron available as we do today.
The black iron coins are constantly updated, and the purity of the black iron coins used by the people today is already 80%.
Even ordinary people can afford excellent black iron.
What is the current production of black iron?
Last month, which was also the first month of the new year, to be precise, it was the first month of the second year of the Tianyuan Era. The output of dark iron in the Kingdom of Qixia was... 120,000 tons!
According to the investigation of Qixia Kingdom, the total output of black iron in all countries in the western part of the Fertile Continent and within the influence of Xuanzhen Sect exceeds 600,000 tons!
One month, 600,000 tons!
Going back two years, the output of dark iron in Qixia Kingdom was only about 5,000 tons per year; the output of dark iron in the entire six Western countries was only 25,000 tons! Throughout the year!
What does this mean? It means a new era! In the past, our ordinary soldiers could only use low-level magic weapons, but now our soldiers use high-quality magic weapons. Many of the performances of these magic weapons even exceed
A magic weapon from the past, even a middle-grade magic weapon!
But the biggest change is the emergence of arms!
If the increase of black iron has changed the practice environment and improved the level of warfare, then the emergence of arms has completely changed the rules of war!"
Then, Wu Fanghai talked about some of his experiences. This time, Wu Fanghai was sent here by Liu Xinyu as a military observer, and he actually came here to learn.
After confirming that this would be an unprecedented war, the Queen was keenly aware that this war would be an epoch-making war. The Kingdom of Qixia must come to learn from such a war.
…………
As time goes by, both sides of the war are making preparations. The atmosphere is becoming more and more solidified.
In the Langya Kingdom, at the Lingbo Group's shipbuilding base, the representative of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wang Ruiyang's master, Taoist Guanyun, was waiting seriously. In front of him, three 10,000-ton black iron battleships had entered the final inspection!
Originally, it would take about a month to complete the Black Iron Battleship, but now they had to work overtime. The craftsmen had not slept for several days. The Xiaoyao Sect even sent a large number of excellent elixirs, which were once difficult for the inner disciples to obtain.
, to these ordinary craftsmen.
In addition, Xiaoyao Sect also sent a large number of weapon refining experts to come and improve the Lingbo Group's 'welding technology'. To be precise, they used a weapon refining method, which was converted from a weapon refining method.
welding technology.
Compared with Dayang Group's welding technology, Lingbo Group's welding technology requires masters to operate and is expensive - the means of refining weapons can be imagined, especially when it comes to welding 10,000-ton warships.
But at this time, there is no more care!
"The only way to fight against warships is warships!" Wang Ruiyang came to the side of the master and said softly, "A warship weighs tens of thousands of tons. This is an unprecedented super magic weapon! Such a magic weapon is difficult to sink even at the stage of becoming a god!
Back then, the Ocean Group's first steel battleship, the Zhiyuan, was only 4,000 tons. Three of us in the transformation stage besieged it, but he all escaped.
The current warships of the Xuanzhen Sect are all 10,000-ton and 20,000-ton warships. To be more precise, they are 13,000-ton and 25,000-ton warships. Compared with the original Zhiyuan, they are superior in both technology and power.
A quality improvement!
In contrast, the methods of the Divine Transformation Stage have not changed at all in the past two years!"
Taoist Master Guanyun nodded solemnly, thought for a moment and then asked: "Now the artillery shells of Dayang Group have the ability to break the ban! What are you going to do about this?"
"There is nothing we can do about this for the time being! What we can do is to use weapon refining methods to produce some advanced artillery shells in a short period of time regardless of the cost, and artillery shells that also have the ability to break the ban.
If we can use the weapon refining method to refine some cannonballs, or use the storage refining method to increase the charge of some cannonballs to the limit, maybe we can make some super cannonballs, and maybe we can deal a heavy blow to the Xuanzhen Sect!
"
Taoist Master Guanyun frowned slightly: If you want to refine cannonballs with storage technology, you have to use star gold, which is very luxurious! Because cannonballs are disposable items! Considering the current hit rate of cannonballs...
…thinking about it makes me tremble.
But gritting his teeth, Taoist Master Guanyun nodded and personally participated in the refining of the 'super cannonball'!
If science and technology are not enough, we will cheat! This is an era where everyone is cheating! I personally refine disposable artillery shells in the Huashen period, so I don’t believe it can’t compare with the industrialized output of your Dayang Group.
Even if the cost is so expensive that it makes people in the transformation stage tremble in their hearts, this is not the time to save!
This is a crazy time!
If the battle fails and all the battleships are sunk, the price will be even heavier.
On the eighth day, the Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai fleet docked at Changshan Port set off. They headed to Qianlong Port in the Kingdom of Canglan, and made final replenishment and rest at Qianlong Port.
Arms and other items from Dayang Group are transported directly to Qianlong Port via railway, allowing the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect to have no worries. In the port, countless supplies are piled up, and formations are layered layer upon layer to ensure the absolute safety of these arms.
Time gradually came to the moment of Xuanzhen Sect’s ultimatum. On the morning of the tenth day, Xuanzhen Sect made an ultimatum; Xiaoyao Sect also responded: Xuanzhen Sect, you have gone too far to bully others! Let’s buy something and do what you want!
At this point, the children all understand: the two holy places are definitely going to have a fight!
On the morning of the eleventh day, the Xuanzhen Sect officially announced that the ten days had passed and the Xuanzhen Sect would 'personally correct the mistakes of the Xiaoyao Sect' - and would 'recycle' the Xiaoyao Sect's steel battleships, the Sea Dragon and the Hague.
The Weihai fleet, which has already been resting in Qianlong Port... has left the port!
The Weihai fleet now has four Zhenyuan-class ships and 12 Iron Duke-class ships, named respectively: Endeavor 1 to 4, and Wuwei 1 to 12.
In addition, there are three Iron Duke-class battleships from the Kingdom of Canglan: Revenge, Dawn, and Thunder.
There are 19 steel battleships belonging to the Xuanzhen Sect, four of which are 20,000 tons.
In addition, the Kingdom of Canglan also dispatched more than 50 skinned warships - most of these dark iron-skinned warships have a displacement of about 10,000 tons. Such ships are more flexible, and their power and defense are also relatively objective.
The fleet set off in a mighty manner, vowing to destroy the Xiaoyao faction's maritime power in one fell swoop... Oh no, it was to correct the Xiaoyao faction's mistakes, to correct them completely.
At the same time, at Qiongshan Port in Langya Kingdom, the 'Sea Dragon Fleet' also set off.
There are two 10,000-ton steel battleships, Sea Dragon and Hague; and three 10,000-ton black iron battleships that have just been launched: Molong 1 to 3.
Finally, there are 300 warships built by the Langya Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom. They also learned from the Canglan Kingdom and made dark iron skins. In terms of traditional sea-ship construction technology, the Canglan Kingdom cannot compare to the Langya Kingdom.
, the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The atmosphere in the entire Fertile Continent has solidified. Masters from all over the world have arrived above the Emerald Sea in advance, waiting to watch the battle - an unprecedented steel showdown!
There are those from the Kunlun Continent, those from the Big Earth Continent, and those from the Fertile Earth Continent from the Dongfang Immortal Yin Sect... On this day, hundreds of God-Transformation Stages gathered over the Emerald Sea! So many God-Transformation Stages gathered together,
The sky is naturally cloudless.
But...where will the battle begin? Some are following the fleet, while others are waiting silently.
There are also the disciples and grandsons who came with the masters, etc., and they are all so excited that they can't help themselves. The steel battleship is called the most powerful magic weapon in history!
Liu Dingshan also brought Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu and others over.
A great war, later remembered as the 'Coastal War', was about to break out.
(Update is a little late, I was really tired yesterday.)
