Chapter 353
The new situation is getting better.
Although Wei'an has been living with Xuefeng in a coastal city for many years and has not been particularly inland, he has always been able to feel the constant changes in daily life during his growth.
Other technologies other than military in this world are progressing, and even daily life is getting better. Newspapers on the development of the inland areas of various continents will still appear in coastal cities.
He can also see the development of some inland cities, or if he had not focused his main energy on the identity of admiral before, he would have wanted to go inland a long time ago.
And Saratoga is going to stay in the Western Continent for a while this time, which just gives him time to go and see.
For his fortress plan, he needs the island itself to have the ability to defend, and carrier-based fighters will still have more restrictions after all.
Even naval guns have their limits.
If the Fortress Princess can really be awakened, the ship equipment used by ordinary ship girls will definitely not meet Wei'an's firepower needs.
How far can ordinary ship-borne missiles fly? How large is the range of attack?
How far can the long-range ballistic missiles developed mainly on land bases hit? How much stronger is the firepower than ship-borne missiles?
Why not launch directly from his port area and attack the deep-sea base?
How much threat will the deep sea pose to him by then?
So he wants to see specifically how the military strength of the inland of this world has developed, and even wants to see if he can get some weapon drawings.
After all, what he needs most is not the finished product, but the technology.
If he can copy it, he can save a lot of time.
As for whether it will work, it depends on the situation of this investigation. As for how long it will take to go deep into the most central city in the inland?
Wei'an has already investigated this in advance. There is a direct train that can arrive in two days and one night.
This was a long-planned trip, and it was a novel exploration for both Vian and Saratoga.
As a ship girl, she was naturally resistant to going inland. If Vian hadn't decided to go, Saratoga would never want to set foot in these places in her life.
Sitting on the train to the central city of the Western Continent, Vian was much more silent than the surprised Saratoga, after all, he had lived in an information age in his previous life.
This steam-powered train was still very slow in his opinion, but the scenery along the way was still good.
For so many years, he had been facing the sea, and now he suddenly saw mountains, rivers, and endless wilderness, which made Vian feel good.
The exploration of this unknown journey did not last long. Vian and Saratoga only stayed for more than a week before returning, including the round-trip time.
After all, he just wanted to know how the technology of the inland cities in this world was developing, and a few days of local inspection would be enough.
The good news is that technology is developing, and he can even buy the equipment he wants directly in the most central city of the entire Western Continent.
Because the human world is more corrupt than he imagined, or in other words, anyone can buy it with money. Wei'an thinks that the people in power in the inland cannot even be called a political system, but are just warlords.
The inland people are not monolithic. After a while, the train may arrive at a city where a new person in power is in charge.
As for why it has become like this, it is mainly because of the admirals who learn from the navy. Even many of these warlords in power are unemployed admirals who have found new jobs.
By becoming an admiral to build ship girls, fight and trade at sea, etc., you can get the first pot of gold. When you are tired of the dangers at sea, you can convert these resources into inland forces.
Not to mention that the Western Continent was originally a continent controlled by the navy. Why do you want to be an admiral even if you will be cut by stronger admirals above?
Isn't being an admiral the most promising thing?
The powerful admirals harvest the weak admirals, so who do these ordinary admirals harvest?
Of course, the inland people who have no sea power.
After all, humans are not shipgirls. There is a bottom line. If they don't obey, they don't mind attacking their own kind.
Compared with the limited combat range of the inland army, the admirals are obviously much more flexible in attacking at sea.
The inland army can only pinch their noses and accept it. They are ridden on the head by several major navies. After all, obedient people will always be beaten less.
Even the rail trains were built under such circumstances, because the admirals needed supplies from the inland,
They need to be transported to the coast in time, not to mention the sale of weapons.
Rather than being controlled by those in power, it is better to say that they are managed by independent military factories. They are independent companies. They can sell anything if they have money.
After all, under the oppression of the navy, the development of inland technology is also to better support the navy.
As long as the price is right, the factory can be sold, just like the shipyard bought by cabbage.
Now Wei An knows why hedonism is so prevalent in the human world. There is no complete regime inside, and it is all divided warlords.
It is impossible to resist the navy together, so they can only fight.
Anyway, the pressure of the deep sea outside has been borne by the navy, and they can only fight inside. The navy makes money and they drink soup. Anyway, the people who suffer are just ordinary people at the bottom.
Even they used to be low-level admirals who were exploited by the upper navy. Now they have been re-employed and reincarnated into an organization with armed forces. They have become accustomed to exploitation.
Even many of their city leaders now have a chance to breathe a little longer because the navy has been wiped out by the Ship Girls Alliance, and the mountains pressing on their heads are gone.
So Wei'an finally understood the reason for the development of the Western Continent.
Why is the research on military weapons in the continent progressing and constantly being produced?
In order to serve the navy, facilitate the navy to arm its own people, and allow them to reincarnate and re-employ, the purchase conditions are unusually loose, and even an industrial chain has been formed long ago.
After all, although there are many cities in the mainland, there are still a lot of mountainous areas and open spaces, and the area that each re-employed admiral can manage is ultimately limited.
In underdeveloped areas, they can have a lot of money to raise an armed force in the face of ordinary people, which is the father.
Compared with the danger of facing the deep sea at sea, being a local emperor in the inland is much more convenient for material transportation, so why not?
So the current appearance of inland cities is a relatively good situation for Wei'an.
He can not only buy equipment directly, but also learn to buy his own industries in these cities like cabbage.
Let his subordinates do the brainwork for him, and then he can reap the results and arm his own ship girls.
