Chapter 6: The Land of Four BattlesAs the smoke cleared, Dez could see how huge the shells he fired had caused. damage. This kind of terrifying power has only been mentioned in some magician books...
Living in a magical world, Dez has never heard of a more powerful power. But the power of destroying heaven and extinguishing earth actually comes from a small iron pipe designed and manufactured by mortals, which is shocking.
At this moment, Dez is completely speechless, the target is his own choice, and this cannon is also the match he ignited himself. There is almost no possibility of falsification, and now he has confirmed a fact: the sight in front of him is the real power of the cannon!
With this weapon, the fortified fortress of the enemy is practically indistinguishable from gravel: as long as such artillery can be manufactured on a large scale, human fortifications are completely useless.
If such weapons are abundant to a certain extent, they will also play a decisive role in field battles. After all, this thing can fire outside the enemy's range, taking the lead in carrying out ultra-long-range strikes on the enemy's battle formation.
Only by virtue of this leap, the Sir City Lord of Serris City in front of him can completely conquer the Quartet, emerge victorious in every battle.
Thinking of this, Dez once again remembered the story Chris told before: How many times can you profit from investing in the monarch of a country?
What Chris lacks now is capital and time to accumulate primordial capital. Once he really rises, there is no profit to join at that time.
Thinking of this, Chris's previous condition "The Lontate family will become the richest family in this world, no one; and there is only one voice in this family, and that is your voice!" Immediately became so alluring.
"Gudong..." Dez, who felt a little thirsty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then handed the torch to Vagron beside him.
He walked up to Chris step by step, looked up towards Chris who was much taller than himself: "If...you can really do...what you said...the Lontate family, will On your side! Always loyal to you!"
"Now, how much are you going to pay for the position of the richest man in the world?" Chris asked with a smile, looking at Dez.
Dez thought for a while, then glanced at the two cannons in the distance, and then solemnly replied: "1.976 million gold coins!"
"Like that It's a bit of a look!" Chris nodded, satisfied with a smile: "I won't let your investment go to waste... Happy cooperation."
"Cooperation...happy! I'll do it Leave, ten days later, I will buy grain, steel, and everything you need, come back here." Dez said impatiently: "You don't have to worry about your taxes, I will go directly to the Arrant Empire to help you Pay 1000gold coin. In addition, this time I have 2000gold coin with me, and I will stay here!"
"Thank you!" Chris nodded with a smile, ending the conversation this time.
Looking at Dez who was far away, Deans said with some concern: "Money and silk are touching... Sir, can he trust him?"
"As long as he has great wisdom, or Saying that as long as he's not stupid, he won't make bad ideas easily." Chris replied confidently: "He won't get any more benefits from killing Serris, but he has to have one more enemy... This is not a good deal."
"Then, what are we going to do next?" Vaggron asked as he stood behind Chris, holding his sword.
"You stay here and keep an eye on it." Chris ordered: "We go back to the castle, we must have a defense plan to ensure our own safety."
"You mean?" Vagron asked with a heavy face.
"Now let's think about how we can protect ourselves!" Chris said confidently, looking at the two cannons.
The entire group quickly returned to Serris City's castle, then took out a detailed map and pressed it on the round table in the Conference Hall.
The Serris City acquired by the Alanhill family is a major traffic thoroughfare, prosperous and rich in resources to use.
Places like this are often prosperous in times of peace, but in times of war, there is air in all directions. Serris City is a battleground for strategists, and it's also an unfortunate place to fight four battles.
"You have to get rid of this situation of being attacked from all sides." Chris folded his hands on his chest, frowned said: "Multi-line combat is a big taboo in the military."
Chris is very clear, Any country that is caught in multi-front warfare, no matter how powerful, will inevitably fall into difficulties in the end, or even be completely defeated.
France, with Napoleon's arrogance, fought on both fronts in Spain and Tsarist Russia, and eventually fell apart and lost its hegemony.
Germany, with its brilliant battle strength and extraordinary strength, also fell into the dilemma of two-front battles in the two world wars, and suffered the bitter fruit of two consecutive defeats.
With so many examples in front of me, Chris felt he had to end a situation like Land of Four in order to be invincible after starting the Battle of Supremacy.
"To the north of us is the earthen fort." Waggron pointed his finger to the north of Serris City and introduced to Chris: "There are seven lords further north, and they have more than us. The cavalry, the battle strength is very strong. Continue to the north, the country of the cold wind...the territory is very huge."
Chris looked in the direction he pointed, frowning together and did not speak. Attacking north is obviously not a good option, at least for now, not a good option.
"Comparatively speaking, we have the most defensive pressure from the north, and those lords are greedy and powerful." Vagron said a little depressingly: "Usually, we have the most soldiers in the north."
"To the west of us is the Kingdom of Higgs, which is also not small in size and has a strong military force." Deans pointed to the west of Serris and introduced: "The Kingdom of Higgs and the Holy Demon Emperor The country is bordered by the country, and its strength is strong... and it is also a thorn in the eyes of the Arrant Empire."
Such a country is very variable, and it also requires a lot of energy to defend. In fact, the Arrant Empire has placed lords like Chris on the border, which is itself a cordon and firewall.
"Then the south and east are left." Chris looked at the map, pressed his hand on the south, and said, "Our south is the Arrant Empire, we are paying taxes to them, safe For the time being, it's fairly secure."
The only target left now is the two castles in the east, Waggron pressed his hand on the two castles and said, "The situation in the east is It's relatively simple, Maine City and Ferry City."
"Mayne is a predominantly agricultural territory, but the terrain is very steep. The threat from this direction is the least, and we deploy here. They also have the fewest troops." He introduced the two cities and brought some useful information: "Ferry City is a port, they are backed by the sea of nothingness, and their geographical advantages are great, but the road to the inland is also There is only one way, that is through our Serris road."
Chris finally nodded and said, "What we have to do now is to expand our troops and strengthen ourselves!"
"The military expansion plan will increase the budget by about 700 gold coins, and we will expand the number of soldiers in the territory to 2,000."
"The cavalry will be increased to 500, and the infantry will be divided into two parts, one for the guards. The city guards of Serris City, one is the infantry in charge of the field."
"In addition, we will allocate 1000 gold coins to improve the treatment of all active soldiers! The enemy." Chris spent almost all the gold coins that Dez left behind.
"My lord, do we... have to wait..." Deans considered his words, and persuaded: "To spend so much money to prepare for a war that may not break out, Serris's development would be seriously slowed down..."
"Yes, I know!" Chris failed, acknowledging what Deans said: "But we're in a very dangerous situation right now, if militarily, then Are we finished too?"
"The war won't necessarily break out, my lord..." Deans looked towards Chris, hoping that his Sir City Lord would be more rational: "Should we think about it again?"
"There's no time to think about it!" Chris waved his hand and looked towards Vagron: "So what we're thinking about now is—how to win a war that may break out!"
"There is really no time to think about it." Stryd, who had figured out the key, reacted and said to Deans beside him: "We will be targeted soon!"
He said so As soon as he said it, Deans also reacted: woodworking machinery and cheap woodworking products will soon sell well around the world, and when the time comes Serris will become a complete piece of fat.
"Okay! It seems that we have to prepare our own defenses before others treat us as fat." Considering this layer, Deans also had to admit that strengthening defenses now is a correct choice.
"Don't panic! Haven't the experiments of several types of machines I developed have been completed? Let these machines be put into production!" Chris comforted his subordinates confidently: "The gold coin spent, Wouldn't it be nice to find a way to earn it back?"
He patted Deans' shoulder: "You will soon find out that gold coin is just a number to us."
On the same day, 30 women recruited passed the training and started to use the new loom designed by Chris. Serris's cloth production price dropped by more than 90%.
What's even more terrifying is that because of the printing and dyeing process formula provided by Chris, these fabrics are very beautiful in color and cost twice as much as other fabrics.
Serris City was rapidly gaining gold every day, and the gold coins spent by Chris's military expansion plan returned to him almost instantly.
On the other hand, the improvement of forging technology also shocked the blacksmiths in Serris: the new furnace can raise the temperature to an incredible height, the forging of various metals has become easier, and the production speed of gun barrels It has also been doubled.
Every Serris City civilian has a smile on his face as job opportunities increase. Everyone knows that Serris has risen and this is going to be a fertile land!
