Chapter 585 The day of departure

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Three days later, 1,500 soldiers who carried out the tooth extraction operation boarded the ship and headed for the first target of robbery: Chishui City.

At the same time, in accordance with the policy set at the strategic meeting, other First Army soldiers also escorted ammunition and grain to the northern border one after another. They would follow the inland water network, pass through the Chishui River, the Wangdu Canal and the Sanwan River in turn, and finally arrive at Yougu Town.

In order to cope with such a large-scale marching deployment, all paddlefish without Winter City were put into the mission, Roland also rented thirty sailboats from the Margaret Chamber of Commerce to transport war materials.

In this way, he can send 3,000 soldiers and corresponding artillery ammunition to the north within a month, that is, before July arrives.

If it were later generations, the transportation scale of thousands of people would probably be completed in one trip of three or four inland passenger ships, but in this era, it was an incredible innovation.

When the tooth extraction operation obtained enough Divine Punishment Stone, the vanguard troops would also go to the north. In the end, the Yougu Town would gather an army of 4,500 people and force the church to set up a group in Hanfeng Ridge.

Of course, there are also emergency plans. One situation is that the church is dispatched very quickly, such as allowing a small number of the Divine Punishment Army to assault without logistics light equipment, and head south along the desperate mountain range, reaching Wudong City.

Another situation is that the enemy gives up the Holy City and enters the kingdom from the junction of the morning light and the grey castle.

The five hundred people who stayed in Wudong City were to guard against the former. They always gained a certain advantage in defending the city, especially with the support of the 152mm fortress cannon.

The latter is a double loss, the First Army had to turn to the war of attrition, the church would lose the Holy City of Hermes, its faith and status were severely defeated, and Graycastle would also lose a large population.

Fortunately, the chance of the second situation is slim. The church has lost its holy city and it is completely lost. The Gray Castle still has a chance of revival if it loses its population. As long as the Pope is not crazy, he will not use this suicide combat method.

Also leaving with the first fleet was the Northland Pearl Ittis Kant.

Please rest assured that your Majesty, I will write to my father and ask him to take out half of the stored grain from the north for the use of the soldiers. The lord of the Gugu Town will also fully cooperate with all the requirements of the First Army.

Don’t you go back to the North?Roland asked.

I want to follow the First Army to participate in all the next battles than when I go home. Itis stood by the side of the ship and raised his long hair, then stroked his chest and saluted. My brother will ask you.

I will take good care of him.

Thank you, your Majesty, then, I will wait for you in Gully Town when the real war comes.

After the ship left, Nightingale's dissatisfied voice recalled Roland's ear, "Tsk tsk, it was obviously a life-and-death war, but she said it was like a date for lovers.

Ahem...is there any?

You can't see it?That hair-raising action... There is no strong wind now, so it's just a waste of time.Nightingale snorted coldly. Of course, it is not ruled out that she has long been used to making such gestures to men, which is already an instinct.

Are you still worried about that letter?Roland shook his head laughed and cried, saying it was impossible.By the way, is what she said reliable?

Nightingale replied reluctantly, there was basically no problem, at least when expressing allegiance and talking about those combat plans, she said the truth.

That's enough, Roland breathes out, let's go back to the castle.

Although Wudongcheng is facing the pressure brought by the war during this period, the good news is that many projects planned by the Demon Moon have been completed one after another, and the infrastructure has ushered in a stage of booming results.

The most important thing is that the Western Region finally obtained its own estuary.

After receiving this news, Roland immediately notified the Ministry of Construction that there will be a number of houses, warehouses and temporary docks on the shallows soon.

With a natural deep-water port as the foundation, larger sea ships can also be built, but considering that Anna has focused on military production, these shipbuilding plans have to be postponed until after the end of the war.

The supporting hub project, Highway 67, has also started construction. It starts through the Chishui River Bridge and connects the factory area with the southern shallows. The construction team is the original team of Kingdom Avenue.

Roland also fulfilled his promise, with nearly half of the excellent workers earning the formal resident status of Winter City without the qualifications and issuing ID cards.

In addition, the first coke oven in Beiposhan was put into production.

To be precise, it could have started to operate earlier, but it has been stumbling during the trial period. For example, when the furnace is first opened, the air in the furnace was not emptied, causing the coal used for distillation to burn directly; and for example, the temperature and time are not in place, resulting in coking failure.

Later, there was a serious accident in which the exhaust pipe was blocked by smoke and dust, and the flame suddenly burst out of the furnace when it was out of coke.

Fortunately, with the help of Axia's replay ability, the causes of these accidents were quickly identified and a series of improvements were obtained. A new batch of coking ovens are also under construction.

In addition to infrastructure, military production has also ushered in breakthroughs.

The howitzer, which can add an important weight to the war, has finally been successfully trial-produced.

Although the warhead is limited by the volume of the entire shell and the loading of the warhead is limited, it can still cause a fatal blow to enemies within a radius of ten meters. After installing the fragments, the distance can be doubled.

It can be imagined that if several 152mm cannons with a range of nearly ten kilometers were invested on the battlefield, they could cross the preset position and directly hit the enemy's rear, and people in this era had never experienced the horror of the King of War. The shock waves and fragments of howitzers caused to the killing of cluster enemies without any cover.

Unfortunately, such heavy things can only be transported by hummingbirds in concert, and only two can be deployed at a time without hard roads.

Even so, Roland was unwilling to give up such powerful firepower.

In contrast, the news that the principle model of the steam turbine is successfully run is less important.

After all, there are not enough people to develop new steamships or thermal power generation.

In a sense, from the moment I received the information from the Kingdom of Morning, Wu Dongcheng had already entered the wartime system, and all plans had to give way to the war, and Anna was no exception.

Now her daily job is to process shells and fuses in the morning and cut key components needed for heavy machine guns in the afternoon.

The arsenal even produces bullets and revolver rifles in three shifts. Thanks to the two men's melody and Zhuhuo, all kinds of machine tools can operate at full capacity without major problems.

Shortly after returning to the office, the flight messenger sent a secret letter from the fjord.

Is this...Tiley gave the answer?

Roland quickly opened the note and quickly finished scanning the contents of the letter.After pondering for a while, he asked the Nightingale to find Maisie.

Take Sylvie to chase the departing fleet and let Yifei do what he said in the letter.

Gu!
