Chapter 2162 After the War

In fact, people from all the empires have done some investigations about the series of things about Cao's House, but the final result is that

Some things they didn't know, and they couldn't figure it out, each of these people saw some things about Cao's house.

situation, but in the end they didn't expect that the people of Cao's House would use these things to create something that they didn't understand

These things are making them suffer now. At the beginning, they also thought about not letting the Cao's business

People work for those common people, the most important thing is to make chain crossbows, and everyone didn’t do such things at the beginning

Thinking that the people from Cao's House would give so much money, many people thought that such a thing would be difficult, but they didn't expect

There is no such thing at all, people are still doing very well, for them, if such a thing happens

It's very good, at least it's much better than farming in the field before, they didn't think it was

It’s a good way, everyone feels that the people from Cao’s House of Commerce cheated them, and they just let them buy from Cao’s House of Commerce.

Grain, indeed, the people in Cao's Commercial Bank also had such an idea, but they still didn't do it in the end

Yes, people still have done this for you, as long as you can bring me the serial crossbow, your stuff

There is no problem, that's it, let more people invest in it, although the government is clamoring to make all the food

It can only be planted. ; But who's going to listen to that? People are not fools, how can there be a chain crossbow that has been working for a day?

Five or six hundred Wen, why not do it? This fucking can buy tens of catties of grain, but it's all white flour, other things

Love can get so much food? Don't be kidding, it may not be possible to work from the ground for a year.

The incident in the Southern Empire made them all know that if they had no food in their hands, they would probably starve.

Although everyone feels the crisis, but when the huge benefits are in front of them, they still have no other thoughts

Method,

It's still a serious matter to find those money. If you don't have that much money, you won't be able to live at all.

Moreover. In a family of four, except for one who does other things, the remaining three can earn more than one or two dollars a day

Silver, and the people of Cao's Commercial Bank consumed tens of billions of chain crossbows because of this war, even if it was recovered at the last time

A lot came. But their inventory is running low. So they made a big order.

Besides, some recruits need to be wasted during training, so many recruits have come. Li Cong directly asked the armament department to

Prepare a monthly amount of 10 billion. Although this amount looks very large, if it is dispersed, it will not be much.

There are still many ordinary people who feel uncomfortable because of the lack of work in their hands. Later, Li Cong added a lot of

Yes, but it is impossible for Li Cong to put all the sources of his arms in their hands. This is just a way to buy people's hearts.

One way is, on an overseas island, there are 8 million people doing this kind of work, and they are all Li

From the purchased slaves, they already had their own lives on that island. They did a good job, and they all

Now that they have their own home, because of legal reasons, even if they return to the mainland, they will definitely be wanted by the people of the country

, so they all chose to stay there. Anyway, they don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, that is, making chain crossbows.

Nearly one billion can come out in one day, so that is the most important place to provide it.

The most important problem is that the cost of Cao's House is too high. It was not so powerful in the past.

Now there is a super serial crossbow, this thing can enter nearly 100 crossbow arrows in a minute, that is because of this

This thing, the soldiers of the Southern Empire will suffer even more serious casualties. Such a thing is a soldier harvester on the battlefield

Yes, many people have seen the power of this thing. At a distance of 2000 meters, if you shoot it directly, basically

That is a soldier who is dead, holding a shield can rush to a distance of 1500 meters, and if he goes further, he will die directly.

The distance of 1500 meters is basically the same as the distance of 2000 meters. There is no difference. The army of the Southern Empire is

For those who want to fight in close quarters, this tactic is correct for other people, but for the people of Cao's House

, Such a tactic is simply looking for death, and it has no effect at all. A soldier with a chain crossbow has been fighting all over during the war.

Every day, more than 300 crossbow arrows will be consumed, and the soldiers on the front line must have at least several million, and they will consume ten thousand arrows a day.

Hundreds of millions, these are all money, but fortunately, after the victory of Cao's House, the money will be transferred to the Southern Empire.

Otherwise, Li Cong can't afford the expense, it's too much, even though he has educated many recruits a lot.

Many times, let them aim and fight again, but the recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time always feel that it is impossible to kill with a single crossbow

If an enemy is killed, it is because of them that this crossbow arrow will be wasted so much, but now it is a victory.

Fang, if you pursue this matter too much, people will look down on you, so it's better not to talk about these issues.

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and many things have happened in this year. Li Cong has already mastered the secrets of martial arts.

I have basically learned all the things on the Internet. Of course, I wasted a lot of experience points and some money. The money is still worth it.

I don’t care, I have this stuff, but other experience values ​​are more precious, from the beginning to the end

Now. The end of the peace talks allowed Li Cong to gain about 5 million experience points, but later exchanged for this or that.

Basically, there is nothing else, and some other things make Li Cong even more uncomfortable, and they often feel

There are some things that are wrong, but with the deepening of my own research, these wrong places will gradually become less and less.

Until there is no more, now Li Cong has begun to inspect his industry everywhere, the most important thing is the territory of the Southern Empire

Some industries here have been closed for a long time because of the war. Come back now and take a good look.

It is not that simple to get them to start again, but now they can do everything, the people below

As long as you put in the effort to do it, there is nothing wrong with it. In addition, in the past, Cao's Commercial Bank always had its own

some old customers. These transactions recovered very quickly. Although the officials of the Southern Empire wanted to contain it

, but everyone knows the relationship between the government and the market, and it is not so easy for a government to contain it. want

If it is an ordinary small business, it is really possible that they cannot withstand their attack, but the current situation is definitely

It's not that simple anymore, Cao's House is such a huge enterprise, plus the war was fought in the south

Well, people in the north don't have an unhappy view of Cao's house, and the business is still the same as before.

During this year, the Eastern Empire also accelerated the development of their navy, and the naval fleet was also established.

Although the attack method has undergone some changes, it is also limited to a range of 500 to 1000 meters, but it is different from the previous era.

Compared with the current situation, it is already very good, and the navy size of the Eastern Empire already has about 1 million ships, but he

Our ships are all relatively small. In the naval battle with Cao's House, basically all the ships of the Southern Empire Navy were defeated.

They don't even have any pants left. This time they built everything by themselves.

The main warship newly built by the Southern Empire was nearly 50 meters in length, 10 meters in width, 5 meters in depth, and 350 tons in load;

It is divided into fifteen watertight compartments; there are three masts, the main mast is 27 meters high, the head and tail masts are 23 meters and 15 meters high respectively; the mainsail weighs 9 tons

, suspended tail rudder, with a crew of 25 and a combat team of 65. The combat team is mainly a type of jumping ship

Assault teams, if they can still serve as marines in normal times, one is when the war begins

They can add 50 people to go up, and the original space is left on the top, and the speed is much worse.

It can reach 6,000 meters per hour when the wind is high, and it can reach up to 4,000 meters per hour when the wind is headed. The speed can be said to be slow.

It has reached a certain level, of course, this is relative to the speed of 70 kilometers per hour of Cao's house.

For some local ships, this speed is considered acceptable. Of course, if the navy of the Southern Empire can not carry

With so many soldiers, the speed can still reach 10 kilometers per hour, but without so many soldiers, their attack

The attack will come down, and it is still not comparable to the merchant ships of Cao's House.

If the inland river guard boats of Cao's House and the ships of the Eastern Empire were put together, the size of the two sides would be different.

Not many, but their combat methods are much worse. The Cao's Commercial Bank mainly relies on the artillery above to fight.

With more than 30 guns, of course, it is impossible for such a small boat to let him fire a salvo, but it can also be fired in a minute

There are more than 50 shells, enough to destroy many warships. This warship of the Eastern Empire was basically hit with three or five rounds of artillery

Even if the shells are finished, the shells used by Cao's House are all shells with strong penetrating power, not the kind of flower shells.

Going up can basically make the other party sad for a long time. This kind of ability is also very good, but these people are not very good.

Why do they look up to the warships of Cao's House, because what gave them such confidence is the war crossbows installed on their ships.

This thing can be hit a thousand meters away, such a thing will not explode. It's the cannonball from Cao's firm

It has similar attack power, but his effective attack range is only four to five hundred meters, and it is only at this distance that Cao can be defeated.

A hole was opened for the warships of Cao’s House, because they are all made of wood, so it is impossible for the warships of Cao’s House to be destroyed by this owner.

There is no response on the west, of course, if the distance is far away, it will have no effect, and the warships of both sides are not close.

Li has fought against each other, and how many are still guessed. There are 12 war crossbows on such a warship. The total cost reached

He paid 250,000 taels of silver. In addition to the training of personnel, it takes 300,000 taels of silver to form a combat force. This price is not bad

What the Eastern Empire can bear, even if it is these 1 million ships, it will kill them. The cost of 300 billion makes their government

The allocation of funds also encountered certain difficulties. However, the loans from Cao's Commercial Bank were taken anyway. Use it here.

Although the warships of Cao's House are much larger than theirs, the internal structure is relatively simple.

If some of the above weapons do not need anything. Cannons and super serial crossbows are all produced on the earth.

Everything has to be produced by hand, and Cao's House is all produced in a modular group on the earth.

The production cost can be said to be very short. It can be said that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people on the earth who are dedicated to doing this

, their productivity alone can be stronger than dozens of people on this planet, and those people can do things one by one.

They are all very powerful, there is no way, they are produced by machines, but here you are personal, originally on the earth

There are very few woods, but they have instant forests, and the new technology of the energy group can already make a

A small tree can grow into a towering tree in a year. This kind of ability is not a joke. Many people are very fond of it.

I am envious, but the energy group will not spread this technology, just like their food, everything is

A secret is not so simple to tell you, if you want to know this secret, it is also impossible

For this reason, they want to get a navy that is similar to the navy of Cao's House, and it is estimated that each of them

They are going to be depressed to death, it is impossible for them to have such a good thing, so they can only start working in other areas, then

It is to start slowly, a large number of ships without weapons earlier, which is not bad.

In fact, the number of shipbuilding factories and workers on this continent is limited, and it does not mean that you can make ships for you immediately if you have money.

The reason why Li Cong built these things in such a large area is to let everyone know how the navy of Cao's House is.

How come, many people can't feel suspicious, why Cao's navy has so many ships, but never

I have seen any shipbuilding factory working for them. What is going on? Besides, Li Cong has also established many

The shipyard, build a ship for yourself, although this speed may be very slow, but it can also play a certain role,

There are also a lot of profits here, and you can also sell your own hulls to people from the four empires, aren't you

Do you want a navy like ours? In fact, we can build it for you, and give you a shell or something.

There is no problem at all, but you want the super chain crossbow and artillery above, I am sorry for this, we

Really powerless, this thing is also very important to us, if you want this, it can only belong to me

There is nothing we can do, this item of ours will never be sold, no matter how much money you pay, it will be the same

, this money is dispensable to us, but if this matter really breaks out, our advantage will be greater than yours

There are a lot fewer of them, so there is no way for people from several great empires to make a fuss for a while, and they won't sell them.

In addition to the Eastern Empire, the other three empires have also started their own naval construction, but they are different from the Eastern Empire.

They have too many shortcomings. In the past, they did not have any strength at sea. Now they are all

Starting from scratch, everyone felt that the difficulty was too great. The largest boat they could make was about 30 meters long.

that's it. Such a boat is considered a small guy in the inland river. If it goes to the ocean, this thing is simply not enough to see

Yes, the transportation feels a little insufficient, let alone start a war. If you use this kind of thing to fight, the casualties

The number is too many, it is simply impossible, the people of several great empires have not started yet, some people have started fighting

They retreated, and everyone said that this plan is really not very good. But I thought that some time ago because there was no sea

military reasons. Their coastal area is simply the territory of Cao's house, they can do whatever they want, I

We don't have that kind of ability at all. If this is the case, it can only be the teacher's development. The people of Cao's House will not

Give yourself any help. Then it's all up to us. If we can't do it with big ships, we can all

All of them were made into boats, for a while. The whole continent has started to have a navy fever. In fact, this can be regarded as the result of the people of Cao's firm.

It's a bad way for them. The navy has always been a waste of money. Unlike the army, the army

The most important thing is people, and the most important thing in the navy is the ship. If it is not done well, it may drag down an entire empire.

It is one price to make a boat, but it is another price to make it run around.

After going to school, they will be a gold swallowing beast every day. Whether they can support such expenses is a test for them.

People from the Three Great Empires also felt that spending money like this was a bit of a joke, but they couldn't figure out where it was

Something is wrong, when the people of the Eastern Empire announced that they had 1 million naval warships, the other three empires began to announce

Having formulated their own shipbuilding plans, both the Western Empire and the Northern Empire have announced that they will reach the level of the Eastern Empire within two years.

The Southern Empire suffered heavy losses in the war. It can be said that there is no silver at all. The navy is only playing with money, sailors

They have a lot of things, but if there is no money, it is estimated that nothing can be done.

It is not a good thing to say, but I still bite the bullet and say that this amount can be completed within three years. At this time, the Southern Empire

People all over the country were shocked by this incident, and local officials began to raise money, and their goal was naturally

It is those very wealthy businessmen, they all understand that these people have a lot of money in their hands, those common people

No matter how you deal with them, it is only a small amount of money. If you rely on getting money from the common people to build a navy,

Let alone three years, there is no possibility even in thirty years. It must be learned from these rich people.

It's definitely not that they don't look down on them, but that they don't have them at all, and the poor will naturally not

If you want to fight for yourself, there is absolutely no need to fight for this kind of anger. Now, those wealthy businessmen in the Southern Empire

They suffered a lot. They had lost a lot because of the war. Now the empire not only does not provide them with compensation, but also makes them

They can grow up, but they are even worse. How can such a thing be possible? how can they support

As for living, such a large group of merchants from the Southern Empire were destroyed one by one, and honestly fell silent. There is no way around this.

The matter, who made the government of the Southern Empire so envious of the navy at this time that it has reached a terrible point.

Li Cong definitely doesn't care about such things, it's all your Southern Empire's own business, and I won't do it here either

I have given you a loan. If you have a loan to do other things, I can give you a loan, but not now.

Alright, now you make your own navy to fight me, and I will give you a loan. It’s not that you have a brain problem, what else can you do?

Well, besides, you already have nothing to mortgage, and the money owed to Cao's House is that you don't eat or drink

It will take ten years to pay it off. Of course, the people in Cao's House will not let you pay off the debt so easily.

If you return it, it will definitely waste a while for you all, so that you all know how difficult this day is

, if you don't let you know about this, I guess none of you would know how to do it, precisely because

Something like this happened. These talents from the Southern Empire are even more powerful to merchants, and those bankrupt merchants everywhere

There are too many of them. At this time, the secret agents of Cao's firm started to work one by one. Now you

Didn’t you have nothing at home, but your family will always have to eat in the future, if you have no source of income

What can your family do? Our Cao's firm lacks a lot of management at this time.

If you are willing to do things for us, we can afford the money, of course. It is impossible to earn as much as you did back then

as much. But how many of us can make your life not a problem, and now quite a few people have become

Now that they are the shopkeepers of Cao's House, their contacts and everything have begun to be inherited.

Both the Western Empire and the Northern Empire have not been baptized by war, and their domestic lives have been pretty good these years. two

Although the country also owes Cao's house a lot of money. But they spent hundreds of billions of silver every year to develop the navy, still nothing

questionable. But it is too difficult to find people who are familiar with the sea in these two countries. They and Nan Di

Unlike China, it is not difficult for them to build ships. But if you find some people who can sail, it will be more

Difficult, in the past, there were no ships sailing on the sea for a full fifty years, but their inland rivers were not

There are few crew members, but there is still a big gap between the sea and the land, so their navy seems to be able to

, the real situation is not very good, not to mention fighting against the navy of Cao's House, it is the navy of the Eastern Empire

It is estimated that they will lose one by one. This is the difference between proficiency and unfamiliarity. People from the two empires also know it.

For this reason, they are also actively letting their inland navy go out, go outside to see the sea, maybe go to

If you have more time, they will no longer be afraid, but the people of Cao's House will not let you go out so easily

Yeah, if you're all good enough out there, we're still pretty good at it, so when their training fleet wants to

When they came out, they had to trouble them no matter what, the people at Cao’s House also knew that this was a relatively stupid way

, can't hinder them for a long time, after all, there are too many oceans in this world, it is impossible for me to give them all

It was blocked, and it was for this reason that the people at Cao's House knew that this was a stupid way, and it could only be a delay.

Time, as for other things, it is impossible, and it can only be strengthened.

Li Cong also talked about this issue, as long as his ability is stronger than them, his weapons are better than theirs, it doesn't matter.

It will be a problem. If they want to be as powerful as their side, there will still be a long time. During this period of time

You can't be idle during the time, you have to work hard, and you can't rest on your laurels. Such a thing is absolutely impossible.

No, you all have to go out to train honestly and strengthen your combat skills. Apart from this, strengthen

The intelligence reconnaissance of the three empires is also a must. Li Cong has already approved the intelligence budget for the new year.

The 500 billion silver they reported had to go out 10% more, because Li Cong knew that intelligence work was very important.

Yes, if they can't handle this matter well, they will become blind and caged, such a thing is

Absolutely not, the people in the intelligence department did not expect such a thing, even though they all know that the inside of the Cao's firm is not

They will be short of money, but they still bet by their boss's handwriting.

Li Cong will do things like this, but they will not spend the money indiscriminately, and they cannot guarantee that every tael of silver will be spent on the necessary people

body, but it can also make this silver flower more valuable. Everyone will say this, but it is true

It's very good to do it right, Li Cong is also very happy to have such a subordinate, you know Cao

The intelligence organization of a commercial firm is now horribly huge. Except for the intelligence organization of the Eastern Empire,

His establishment is already the largest on the planet. Of course, those unknown places are impossible to know, as long as there are

Where there are people, there will basically be intelligence personnel from Cao's firm, this is for sure.

Li Cong also saw a series of things that were wrong through this war. First of all, the financial control of Cao's Commercial Bank was still ineffective.

No, if it is possible, there is no need to start such a war, even though it started against the people of the Southern Empire

An economic crisis, but not enough. Haven't gotten all of them to start everything yet. If only they could

, this war is unnecessary, but it is still very good now, at least this war can make other several

The entire empire understood what was going on. The power of the Cao's firm was also exposed. let them all understand

what is going on. It's not like before, we don't have that kind of ability, if we have that kind of ability, we will

It will make you stop messing around with us. In the past, the Cao's Commercial Bank didn't want to fight an all-out war. it's for him

As far as we are concerned, we have all gotten to know Cao's House, and Li Cong also thought that he could not support such a battle in the past.

In the whole war, 1,250,000 people from Cao's firm died, which can be said to be a

This is not a small number, but compared with the number of people in the Southern Empire, it is nothing compared to the total expenditure of 30 billion

On average, each person has tens of thousands of taels of silver, which also created a relatively large precedent, which made Cao Jiashang

All the troops under Xing are willing to give their lives to them, at least everyone in the family can work together after something happens to him.

Those who continue to live are much better than the armies of other empires. Other empires have no

With such a system, it would be good to make their family members live better, let alone your family's affairs.

Upper body, for them, it's not that they don't want to, but that they don't have enough financial ability.

It is also a good thing for the army of Cao's House of Merchant. Many of them had never seen blood before. It can be said that they are all rudimentary troops and cannot be appointed as big officers. This is Li Cong. Why do they think that their army is not very good? All of them feel that they have no confidence because of this reason. Many generals of the four empires don't think much of the army of Cao's firm. It seems that a firm's army can win a local war, which doesn't mean anything. It can be said that their luck is better, their weapons are more powerful, and other things are gone, but this war makes them all understand What is an ant eating an elephant, and this ant is a super ant, the elephant that can eat is hurting, and the elephant that hurts is a little bit irrational. In the end, the ant got more than Hundreds of times of my own interests, these places sound good to be managed by the people of the Cao's Commercial Bank, but in fact it is not like that, all are directly handed over to the Cao's Commercial Bank, and now the Cao's Commercial Bank has no city. If there is such a plan in the country, it is estimated that they will have some objections, and Li Cong will not let such a thing happen, so just endure it now, but the establishment of an empire in the future It is absolutely possible, and the preparations have already begun, it is only a matter of time, and this war has also made everyone see clearly that Cao's House is not just a simple house, In addition to their commercial strength, their military strength is also very large. If the calculation is not good, conflicts with them will definitely be a disadvantage for the people on their side. It is better not to have any conflicts with their people. of.

In the past, they were all a little confused about the military strength of Cao's House of Commerce, because they still didn't know what happened to the people in Cao's House of Commerce, and how these people did things when they did things. Now I understand how the combat power of the Cao’s House can be divided, especially the reason why the army and navy have not fought against them. It is estimated that their goal is the inland river escort boat of Cao's House of Commerce. This is also seen through an incident. The scuffle started in the area. The ships under this prince are basically the same ships as the Eastern Empire Navy. These things with war crossbows are not a joke. There is only one ship in Cao's House. They are avoiding each other one by one, but when the navy of Cao's Commercial Bank finds an angle and distance that can be adjusted, it is not time to avoid each other. The navy of Cao's Commercial Bank starts their attack, Cao's Commercial Bank The army of the Eastern Empire began to wipe out the escort of the prince of the Eastern Empire. In the past, they would not dare to use their 20 ships to fight against the escort boats of the Cao Family Firm, but now it is different. They think that they have added some war crossbows It is already very powerful, they all already have their own attack ability, and it is for this reason that they all took the risk and prepared to try it, and the people in the Eastern Emperor's side are also very I really want to see what the combat effectiveness is like, that is, under such circumstances, this conflict that should not have started just like that. Thirty-two escort boats from the Eastern Empire confronted three inland river escort boats from Cao's House .

The escort boats of the Eastern Empire don’t look very big from the outside world, almost two ships can top one of the Cao’s House, but this place is in a place that goes out to the sea, so the size is not so important. It is almost the same as the gap between a drop of water and the sea. Both sides can expect such a thing. The escort boat of Cao's House launched the attack first. Although the caliber of the artillery on their ship is already much smaller, they The 43 guns on this side of the three ships in the first round all started their first round of shooting, and in the end, all twelve shells hit the enemy's ship. This is already a very good shot. This kind of thing is already very good for many navies, especially there are no such things as radar in this world. For them, they rely on their own eyes and their own feelings. Going, the ones who suffer are the ships of the Eastern Empire. They still need to sprint as before, but in the past they had to rush to the front to fight, but now they only need to rush to 500 meters. It's ok, although it can be launched at a distance of 1000 meters, it is basically useless at this distance. Even if it can be shot, as long as it is not shot at people, it will basically have no effect, so they just It can only be done when they are close. The fleet of Cao’s House also knows that they all have war crossbows. If they could stay there before, but now they have to change places, otherwise it is possible They will be hit by people, they all understand things very well, so they can only change places constantly, which makes their shelling rate a bit lower, but it is still very good.

The final result of the war made everyone dumbfounded. Five of the 32 ships of the prince of the Eastern Empire survived due to serious injuries. It was almost going to sink. If it wasn't for the other two ships, it would probably be over. This war made Cao's House of Commerce and people in several other empires feel crisis and hope. Of course, Cao's House of Commerce's People don't see any hope. In their opinion, such a thing is not very good, because they can all feel that this incident prevents them from winning more with less as before. They all have to prepare more ships, otherwise they may be the ones who suffer the loss, but for the people of the Eastern Empire, they see hope. In the past, if there were such results in the battle, at least the loss would be this More than a dozen times, so this means that the distance between the two sides is getting closer. How can such a thing be unhappy? Everyone is like a chicken blood, and the empire needs to allocate funds quickly and give them more money. , let them build a navy and make more ships.
