"Jun Hou, I have a plan."

The black snake is not willing to fail, thinking of a trick.

"speak."

"In the southern part of Zhaoqing County, there is a territory called Wulong County, which has basically been captured by the Black Snake. I suggest that the alliance be formally with Wulong County and the army will be directly sent to the rear of the Allied Forces. body."

Ouyang Yi heard the words and looked at the black snake with amazement. "Can you be sure?"

There is no problem in the alliance, and I am afraid that the alliance will not be achieved. With the fall of Tianshuang County, [Shan Haimeng - Tianshuang League] also followed the disintegration.

In Zhaoqing County, Shanhai City is now isolated.

"I am willing to make a military order." The tone of the black snake was cut.

"Well, I will give you two days."

With this opportunity, Ouyang Yi decided to take a risk. Although the black snake is rough and mad, his work is extremely delicate. Since he dares to boast of Haikou, there is no problem.

On August 10th, the army of the Southern Xinjiang Dufu government began to act.

Shanhaicheng, under the leadership of Wang Feng and Zhao Kuo, rushed to the North Harbour to assemble, along with the first formation of the North Gulf Fleet, went to Jiaozhou Port, and attacked Yufo County.

The entire voyage, close to four thousand nautical miles, requires at least ten days of sailing.

In Qiongzhou County, Sun Yi led the first division of the Husong Legion and continued to sit in Qiongzhou to suppress the local resistance. The Second Division of the Tigers and the Fourth Division immediately rushed to Qiongshan, then took the boat, crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, landed in Leizhou County, and then crossed Leizhou County to Zhaoqing County to join the army.

The entire journey, more than two thousand kilometers. Even if it is an emergency, the army will need at least 20 days to reach the battlefield. It can be seen that if there is no transmission array, there will be any pain in the egg.

In addition to the reinforcement of Zhaoqing County, the two divisions of the Tigers and the Legion have another intention.

The clean-up operation in Qiongzhou County is almost at the end. Next, it would be too wasteful to put the entire leg of the formed army of the Tiger Cubs in Qiongzhou County.

Ouyang Yu plans to, in the future, will be led by Fan Lihua to lead the first division of the Tiger Cubs, long-term stationed in Qiongzhou County, basically can be foolproof. Don't forget, the Yashan Fleet is still expanding. The future military power of Qiongzhou County is still dominated by the Navy.

On the island, the field army has the first division of the Huyu Legion, and then cooperates with the Qiongzhou County garrison division.

Taking this opportunity to gradually transfer the Tigers and the Legion to the Lingnan battlefield is another intention of Ouyang Yu. In the next step, whether it is attacking Chiyou City or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a huge army is needed.

In addition, after the Zhaoqing County was laid down, the eastern border also needed to station troops.

At the same time, the first formation of the Yashan Fleet, starting from Nanshan Port, merged with the first formation of the North Gulf Fleet at sea and then went to Jiaozhou Port.

The two major fleets assisted in combat for the first time, just in time at the sea.

The only difference is the Guards Division.

The Guards Division has just completed the assembly and received an military order, temporarily stationed in the military camp.

Even after the raid on the rear of the Allies, Ouyang Yi did not dare to press the Second Division of the Tigers and the Fourth Division. The three divisions are active in the enemy's back. Once the food and grass are not supported, the consequences are unimaginable.

Such a heavy burden, only the ace division such as the Guards Division can be competent. Ouyang Yu believes that even without food and shelter, the Guards Division can solve the problem of food and land on the spot.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass are ahead.

The reserve of strategic materials of the War Defence Agency has not been broken. Each county has a special military granary for hoarding military food, which is guarded by local urban defense forces.

Therefore, whenever the army marches in the territory, wherever it goes, it can be replenished.

In this way, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources.

With the unfolding of the Battle of Zhaoqing, a large amount of grain was transported to the front line under the dispatch of the War Preparation Agency.

Now the war situation has changed, the front line has to increase the number of troops, and the original measured grain is somewhat insufficient. Therefore, at the time of the opening of various military forces, the War Preparation Administration has started a new round of grain scheduling.

Ge Hongliang, the director of the war preparations, personally took the throne of Leizhou County to supervise the transportation of grain.

In addition to food and grass, there are a large number of military materials such as weapons and equipment, arrows, and siege equipment. To this end, the War Defence Agency has set up a total arsenal in each county, and then set up arsenals in the prefecture and county level.

The ordinary arrows will no longer be provided by the Shanhaicheng Weapons Workshop, but by the weapons workshops of the counties. You know, when a big battle comes, it will cost hundreds of thousands of arrows.

If the battle is played for a long time, millions of arrow consumption is normal. The supply of Shanhaicheng alone is only the transportation cost, which exceeds the cost of the arrow itself.

Whether it is a large amount of grain, or a large number of military materials such as arrows, the consumption can be real gold and silver. The consumption of the land by the war is unimaginable in other fields.

Ge Hongliang's planned grading system has been praised by Ouyang Wei.

War preparation is the lifeline of war.

Ge Hongliang, the director of the war preparations, undoubtedly made Ouyang Yi very satisfied.

In the future, the military workers in Shanhaicheng will only be responsible for the production of high-end equipment, namely Mingguang, Stepping Man, etc. Others such as Tang knife, horse, arrow, etc., are all handed over to the workshops of the counties.

In addition to considering the factors of artisans, there is also the supply of iron ore.

In the fast of mineral resources, Gaia's design is very realistic. A mine not only has the maximum reserve setting, but also the difficulty of mining.

In ancient times, only a small portion of the surface minerals could be mined. Deep underground minerals, if ventured, will kill people and lose more.

The two iron mines in the western suburbs of Shanhaicheng, the earliest one, which was explored at the village stage, have been exhausted and can no longer be mined and formally sealed.

The second mine is also on the verge of depletion.

In the past year and a half, the weapons and equipment made by Shanhaicheng are too large, and the consumption of iron ore is very amazing. In addition, it is a steel mill built, and it is also a major demand for iron ore.

Ouyang Yu looked for mineral experts to calculate, the entire iron ore mine in Lianzhou County was added together, and the current consumption rate of iron ore in Shanhai City can only be maintained for a maximum of one and a half years.

A year and a half later, Shanhai City will have an embarrassing situation in which iron-free ore is available.

When I got the news, Ouyang Wei panicked on the spot.

He did not expect that after the food, a new round of resource crisis hit the territory.

In the past life, Ouyang Yu was only an adventure player, and he still had some impressions on the price increase of grain; but the iron ore is not so important.

I never thought that it almost made a big mistake.

Fortunately, the discovery was timely, and now the remedy is still too late.

If it is not Shanhaicheng's consumption of iron ore is too exaggerated, it is estimated that this problem will not be exposed so early, and then it will be really late.

Ouyang Yi is also a decisive person, immediately ordered that the mining rate of iron ore mines in Lianzhou County will be halved to protect the iron ore reserves of the base camp.

After all, it is very laborious to transport iron ore from other places, which is much more troublesome than transporting food.

Sealing the iron ore mines in Lianzhou County is only a remedy.

Ouyang Yu then issued a decree requesting the counties to organize the horses immediately, to find out the reserves of the county's iron ore and other mines, and report them to the war reserve.

The good news is that more than a dozen large iron ore mines have been discovered in Qiongzhou County and Leizhou County.

Ouyang Yu immediately ordered that the two counties increase the mining of iron ore. In addition to the consumption of the county, it is necessary to intercept more than half of the iron ore and transport it to Shanhaicheng through the sea.

To this end, Ouyang Yu also deliberately built a shipyard to build a special transport cargo ship. Compared with land transportation, shipping can be much more convenient, transportation costs are relatively low, and it is still within the scope of tolerance.

As a result, the problem of shortage of iron ore in Shanhai City has been slightly relieved.

Even so, Ouyang Yi still dare not care.

It can be foreseen that with the expansion of the territory, the size of the army will surely expand, and the demand for weapons and equipment will only become higher and higher; accordingly, the consumption of iron ore will only grow larger and larger.

In addition, I have to mention the No. 7 Institute.

The team of experts at the No. 7 Institute has expanded to hundreds of people. After the completion of the steel mill, the research on steel fittings has entered a crucial stage.

In the future, the manufacture of firearms, artillery, and even the construction of armored ships is possible, even inevitable. In that case, the demand for iron ore can be made big, and it is simply a bottomless pit.

Ouyang Yi can not guarantee that the counties and counties occupied in the future will have rich iron ore reserves. Therefore, iron ore imports will become a necessity.

It’s too late to wait until later, when the territories are aware of the iron ore shortage.

Shanhaicheng must take the first step.

Ouyang Wei immediately instructed the Finance Department to allocate a special fund to the War Defence Agency each month for the acquisition of iron ore in the market. At the same time, with the major chambers of commerce, signed an iron ore procurement agreement.

From now on, Shanhai City will begin to hoard iron ore.

To this end, Ouyang Yu ordered that dozens of large iron ore storage warehouses be built in the eastern suburbs of Shanhai City to store iron ore purchased from the market or the Chamber of Commerce.

Purchasing iron ore is a big expense. In the market, one unit of iron ore is now 120 copper coins, which is more than six times the price of food.

If you purchase a lot, you can imagine the financial burden of the territory.

Even so, Ouyang Yu has to grit his teeth and unswervingly implement this strategy.

In addition to importing ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there is actually a way to plunder. Other places, not to mention, on the Southern Ocean, there is a giant island called Australia.

In reality, Australia is a big exporter of iron ore.

In the game, the rigorous setting of Gaia must be the same. As long as you occupy Australia, the entire territory, no matter how expanded, iron ore can be worry-free.

It is a pity that the current Shanhai City is still too weak and not enough to launch a national war.

You know, after the game map has expanded tenfold, the whole of Australia is not so much an island as it is a land.

Not to mention how Gaia set up for Australia, Ouyang Yi did not know, at the very least, it would not be the same wild island as Qiongzhou Island.

If you want to capture Australia, you want to know how difficult it will be.

In the medium term, it is conceivable to start an iron ore trade with Australia. The ultimate goal, of course, is to put the whole of Australia in the bag. (To be continued.)
