Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Chris looked at Su Zheng in surprise, and was about to speak to persuade, Su Zheng raised his hand and said:

"Needless to say, I don't doubt your ability tactically, but if we want to go further in the future, our team needs to be fundamentally reformed! No, it is a complete revolution!"

Su Zheng clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back in his chair, looked around at the officials and students present, and then continued

"To build a modern army, we not only need to be armed with muskets, but also need to carry out institutional and ideological innovations, and this innovation does not mean that it can be changed by using new establishments and wearing new uniforms! Therefore, on this expedition, I will be more of your political commissar!" After

listening to Su Zheng's words, everyone nodded.

Su Zheng clasped his hands on his chest and thought for a moment, then pointed to a middle-aged man in a green uniform and said

, "Huang Peng, give you half a month, all the recruits of the ten regiments have to prepare me for battle! In addition, in the next year, I plan to recruit another 20 new regiments." "

Yes!" Huang

Peng nodded and said.

After that, Su Zheng looked at

Lei Ming and asked, "Lei Ming, has that Heinz already gone north?"

Lei Ming sighed, nodded and said:

"Yes, Your Highness, he went north with captured cannons and guns, and before the cavalry I sent caught up with him, his team had already fled to the territory of the Duchy of Huls, and our large cavalry force was blocked by the soldiers of the Duchy of Huls, so I could only send a few scouts to follow them." Yesterday the scouts came back with the news that they had arrived in Notting.

Su Zheng pondered when he heard this, and Chris said a little anxiously

: "Your Highness, it seems that the musket is completely exposed this time!"

Lei Ming glanced at Chris, took a deep breath

and said to Su Zheng: "Your Highness, why don't we start a war against the empire at the same time and occupy the ..... quickly

" Before Lei Ming finished speaking, Su Zheng raised his hand to interrupt his words, smiled and said:

"No, no... Don't take such a risk, I have a new plan! What about choosing to do business with the Empire?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and Chris reacted and looked at Su Zheng in disbelief and asked

, "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"This...."

Suddenly there was a lot of noise in the conference hall, gunpowder is the lifeblood of Su Xincheng, it is a secret among secrets, how can you say that it can be sold!"

"Your Highness, is this feasible?"

Chris asked worriedly, and without waiting for Su Zheng to answer, Logitech said:

"As long as we master the technology of making gunpowder in our own hands, the enemy will not be able to make gunpowder at all!

Su Zheng nodded in affirmation, and said:

"That's right, and even if they find out the approximate production method of black powder, I'm not afraid, we have mastered the technology of customizing metal bullets and breech shell guns, and this gun is effective for 300 meters!"

"What is the effective range? It means that at this distance, both accuracy and power can be guaranteed, and the maximum range of our flintlock pistol is only 120 meters! Twenty or thirty meters. Therefore, these two are not the same level!"

Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this, and they began to talk again.

Su Zheng patted the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued:

"Breech guns and breech guns with metal cartridge shells are truly industrialized weapons! Not only need technology, but also need to have industrial capabilities!" "Breech

guns?"

Su Zheng crossed his hands to support his chin and smiled:

"Yes, I am developing a 50 mm breech gun with an effective range of 3 kilometers, this cannon is not only simple to use, but also very lightweight. The red-coated artillery with a maximum range of 3 kilometers is the cannon on the city wall of our Suxin City! You can see how thick and heavy that cannon is!

" Then Su Zheng spread his hands again and said to everyone:

"This is the gap between industrial products and handicraft products!"

As soon as Su Zheng finished speaking, Logitech opened his mouth and added:

"Yes, the difference between industry and handicraft industry is not a star and a half, let's just say that the previous red-coated cannon and the current red-coated cannon, the gap is very large, the previous red-coated cannon was artificially cast, there is no technology at all, plus the steel refining technology at that time was worse than now, so in order to ensure that the bore is not blown up, the cannons are made very thick and thick.

Such a cannon is not only bulky, but also has poor accuracy and maneuverability, there is no fixed number of how much gunpowder it can hold, and it is difficult to predict how far it will hit.

And the current red-coated cannons are forged by machines, the quality is better, and there are unified specifications, the tolerance will not be very large, and the fixed gunpowder can be used through the formula, and the accuracy and coordination of the cannon are more than one and a half points higher.

Logitech used a lot of technical vocabulary, and except for Chris and Lei Ming, who understood a few, everyone else listened with a confused expression.

But they didn't know how to do it, and they nodded one after another.

With Su Zheng and Logitech's strengthening, everyone is much less worried about selling muskets, and if Su Zheng has spoken, then no one will question it again.

"Okay, everyone else let's go, Zhang Yi, you stay, and I'll explain some details to you. "

.

In the early morning, when the sky was just dawning

, Cole rode alone outside the city of Notting, and rushed towards Nottingdu.

Soon Cole came to the garrison of the Notting City Guard, and the guards at the gate of the camp saw Cole rushing from a distance, and immediately prepared for a battle posture, ready to stop Cole.

But Cole didn't slow down, just held up a token, and then the token lit up with a faint purple light.

"Get out of the way!"

Cole shouted, and the guards looked at Cole's glowing token in surprise and reacted to the barricade at the entrance of the camp to make way for Cole.

Cole rushed towards the center of the barracks, and when he came to the main tent, Cole eagerly got off his horse and shouted around:

"Heinz, where are the people!"

"Ah, Prime Minister!!!Why are you here!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a Duke's medal came out of the tent, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Cole, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he hurriedly bent down and saluted.

Cole waved his hand impatiently and said

, "Hurry up, call Heinz quickly, and prepare water for me quickly!" "Wait a minute, I'll go and call Heinz over!" Although

the Duke didn't know why Cole was in such a hurry, he hurriedly agreed.

Cole entered the main tent and, without waiting for the water to arrive, picked up a jar of wine on the table and drank it in a big gulp.

All the way to a distance of about 500 kilometers, he rushed from Kyoto all the time, he couldn't even care about drinking water, changed a few horses halfway, and ran to death the Zhongzhou fierce horse that was levied from a wealthy merchant in the capital (although he also had a few Zhongzhou fierce horses in his hand).

A moment later, the middle-aged duke walked in with Heinz.

"Your Excellency, you're here so soon!" Seeing

the tired Cole, Heinz knew that this matter had attracted Cole's attention.

It took only three days from the time he sent someone to the time when the prime minister arrived! With a distance of 1,000 kilometers, the two of them traveled an average of more than 300 kilometers a day!

"Heinz, what about those things?"

As soon as he saw Heinz, Cole asked eagerly.

The middle-aged duke was stunned when he heard this, and Heinz naturally understood what Cole meant, and immediately made a gesture of please.

Heinz arranged for his henchmen to take the Royal Knight Medal and quickly go to the imperial capital without changing people.

The Royal Knight Medal is known as the Honorary Duke, and the number of people who hold this medal in the New Qiong Empire is probably smaller than the number of dukes, and it is awarded only to the best knights of the Royal Order and the Guard, and only one group is awarded every five years, and each batch does not exceed five people.

Because of this medal, Heinz's henchmen came to Cole unhindered, and he demonstrated the use of grenades.

With a loud thud and the dirt that had been lifted high, Cole froze straight in place.

When he asked about the general situation, he immediately rushed towards Nordinto.
