Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 546 Floating Battleship
"Husband, according to news from the eastern sea area, the enemy's long-range attack method has been discovered in the waters of the Atlanta Empire, which is similar to our army's missile attack. Now the Atlanta Empire has recovered."

In the lord's mansion of the Qinghe Empire, Li Xiuning, the chief of staff, sat beside Di Feng and introduced to Di Feng the military events in the empire during this period.

"If you slow down, then slow down, now our army has annexed half of the land of the Atlanta Empire and wiped out half of the population of the Atlanta Empire.

And it also caused chaos within the Atlanta Empire.Not to mention other enemies around the Atlanta Empire, we need to pay attention, but don't need to worry too much. "

Di Feng sat by one side and talked casually.

"How is the fleet over there in the Oceanic Military Region now?"

"Okay."

Li Xiuning thought for a while and replied.

"The construction of our military's warships has never stopped in recent years, and 80.00% of the large surface ships built have been allocated to the ocean military region.

Now, the Oceanic Military Region has five aircraft carrier battle groups and ten combat fleets. These fleets have all replaced the third-generation warships and smaller warships below.

Those first-generation warships and second-generation warships that were replaced were assigned to the naval headquarters in the South China Sea, Qiandao Sea and East China Sea.

Now in the Oceanic Military Region, even for offshore defense, the main force is the third-generation warships, and of course, there are also large-scale gunboat groups. "

"Well, in this case, the fleet of the Atlanta Empire will not pose any threat to our fleet. The empire's current military expenditure has dropped significantly. The largest expenditure is the construction of various ships. This cannot be stopped."

Di Feng sat on the sofa, talking casually.

"Our enemy is not only the eastern sea, but also the southern sea, the northern sea, and the ocean to the west of the continent.

In the future we will definitely be fighting enemies on the entire planet, so there is no harm in building more warships. "

At this time, according to the plan of the Qinghe Empire, the number of warships above [-] tons in the three generations of the Qinghe Empire has exceeded [-].

The other second-generation and first-generation warships also have as many as 300 ships, and more than [-] missile gunboats. With this number, coupled with numerous sea bases and a large number of auxiliary ships, the number of navies also exceeds [-] million.

And with the increasing number of warships, a navy of 300 million is no longer enough. The Qinghe Empire has begun to discuss expanding the size of its navy.

Compared with the army of tens of millions and the navy of 300 million, the number of the air force is only 100 million, but the combat effectiveness of the air force is all highly valuable pilots, and their status is not bad.

It is precisely because the Qinghe Empire has such a large-scale naval force that the Qinghe Empire can suppress the Atlanta Empire and occupy a large area of ​​​​the empire.

"The Atlanta Empire has the power to fight, so it's better to hand it over to the Oceanic Military Region."

Di Feng said casually.

"In the past, the imperial navy was fighting against the wind, but now that we have a qualified opponent, we can also exercise the combat effectiveness of the navy, and a little loss can still be supported.

But now our army has added the North Sea Naval Headquarters, the South China Sea Naval Headquarters has expanded, and the Oceanic Military Region occupies an ocean no less than the size of the empire, so I think the navy can continue to expand. "

"It is true that expansion is needed, but what level of expansion is most appropriate." Li Xiuning asked. "Now our main focus is on development, taking advantage of the recent lack of large-scale wars to develop for a few more years.

This is what you said. "

"of course."

Di Feng nodded.

"Development is still the focus. Our warship construction has never stopped. With the increase of warships, soldiers began to be lacking. Therefore, we expand the navy by 350 every year for ten consecutive years, and finally let the navy expand to [-] million."

"this is okay too."

After thinking for a while, Li Xiuning agreed with Di Feng's opinion. As the chief of the general staff of the empire, apart from Di Feng, Li Xiuning had the power to command the entire army of the empire.

"Okay, then do that."

Di Feng nodded.

"What's the situation in the north now?"

"Everything is going well." Li Xiuning replied. "Now Qingyang, Qingyang Road and Qingyuan Road have all completed 80.00% of the internal cleaning tasks. In the last two years of the ten-year plan, the three military regions will be able to eliminate monsters in all areas except the Evergreen Mountains."

"very good."

Di Feng nodded.

"In this way, the total population of the empire can exceed 6000 million in two years, and the labor force will account for more than half of it. Such an empire already has the confidence to protect its current [-] million square kilometers of territory."

"Yes, [-] million people."

Listening to Di Feng's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help sighing while sitting aside.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people."

Li Xiuning came from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just gone through the war, and its population was tens of millions, which was not as good as a fraction of the current Qinghe Empire.

Li Xiuning never thought that a country could have such a large population.

"In the past ten years, our army has been going well." Di Feng said. "However, with a population of [-] million, compared to the territory we occupy, the land is still sparsely populated, so we need to continue to develop.

Now that the empire encourages births, the number of newborns per year has already reached 4000 million, and it will break through to 5000 million in the next few years. By then, the population growth scale will be [-] million in two years.

Now that the Qinghe Empire wants to complete the development of the empire, it needs at least 20 billion people, which means it needs to develop for another 20 years. "

"But our neighbors may not give us such a chance." Li Xiuning said.

"The Atlanta Empire has been crippled by us now, but it is already on the rise. It is impossible to annihilate the Atlanta Empire in a short time.

The seven-nation alliance in the north is now renamed the Northern United Empire, and the merger project has been completed. In this way, we need to face a powerful magic empire with a population of more than 2000 million and an area of ​​more than [-] million square kilometers. "

Di Feng controls the Ninja Army, has a complete intelligence system in his hands, and has a clear understanding of the forces around the Qinghe Empire.

"In the west, the Ming Empire has also recovered after many years of recuperation, and now it has recovered a bit of imperial momentum, but now the Ming Empire is inland, and it is gradually becoming arid and cannot support so many people.

Moreover, the interior of the Ming Empire is like a mess, with chaotic and corrupt forces. Now the Ming Empire is either expanding, turning internal conflicts into external conflicts, or directly collapsing.

Therefore, compared to other directions, the Ming Empire is most likely to start a war with us, and of course it is also possible to start annexing those small countries around it on a large scale. "

As Di Feng spoke, Li Xiuning listened silently, what Di Feng meant was the meaning of the empire.Based on Li Xiuning's understanding of her husband who has been with her for decades, now that Di Feng said so, it is very likely that the empire will take this general direction in the future.

Moreover, as the chief of the general staff of the empire, Li Xiuning also knew that although Di Feng usually didn't care about things, in Di Feng's hands there was a ninja army responsible for the intelligence of the empire.With the ninja's ability to collect information from corpses, there must be a lot of knowledge about the empire and abroad.

"As for the elf empire in the south, because of its long lifespan, its behavior and affairs are also counted in years. As long as we don't fight against the elf empire, then we can almost get along with each other for tens or hundreds of years.

By that time, the empire will no longer know how far it has developed. In the face of the elf empire, it will definitely be able to rely on its strength to automatically merge the elf empire into the empire's territory. "

"In other words, the next target is the Ming Empire." Li Xiuning asked.

Today's Ming Empire has 25 provinces, a land area of ​​about 1000 million square kilometers, a population of 5000 million, and an army of more than 500 million. It is also a powerful country.

"That's the goal, but there will be no war in the past few years. The empire has finally started to grow economically year after year, and has entered a period of great development. It cannot take the initiative to stop this development.

And the population of the empire can also grow further, so as long as the Ming Empire does not take the initiative to attack us, then we will not attack. "

"By the way, Xiu Ning, is there any major event going on in the General Staff Headquarters?"

"Because everything is going well in the empire, and no major incidents have occurred. Therefore, the general staff is relatively free now."

"Then the first ship of the first generation of floating warships of the Empire will be produced tomorrow, do you want to go and see with me?"

"Floating battleship, what is that?" Li Xiuning looked at Di Feng and asked.

"It's the weaponization of the floating platform." Di Feng explained. "Think of a warship flying in the sky, capable of carrying many soldiers and numerous weapons and equipment, that is a floating warship."

"Okay, I want to see it too." Listening to Di Feng's explanation, Li Xiuning's eyes lit up. Li Xiuning was also very curious about this imperial secret project, especially since it was considered a new type of weapon.

Early the next morning, Di Feng and Li Xiuning left Qinghe City on a special plane and flew towards the floating battleship factory located in the Changyuan Mountains.

Because the floating battleship itself is based on the deletion and construction of the floating platform, not only is it large in size, but also adds a lot of details and various equipment inside, which cannot be completed by one or two workers alone.

This is a huge system project, and there are thousands of front-line workers alone.It can be said that this floating battleship is the highest crystallization of the Qinghe Empire's current imperial technology.

When Di Feng and Li Xiuning arrived at the airport in the valley by plane, they could see the surrounding continuous factories and various residential areas, schools, shopping malls, hospitals and other supporting buildings.

This valley is already an intermountain basin, covering an area of ​​30 square kilometers. The terrain is long and narrow, with open land in the middle, and the two sides are only more than [-] kilometers away from the Changyuan Mountains.

Originally, there were several small hills in the center of the intermountain basin, but during subsequent construction, several independent hills were leveled.

A large number of factories have been built here, and top technical talents from all over the country gather here, headed by several imperial academicians, to develop and manufacture floating battleships.

Following the construction and development, a city with a population of 30 was expanded with this floating warship manufacturing plant.And because of this development, the more than 30 kilometers of mountains on both sides of the Changyuan Mountains were also flattened, and a passage with a width of 500 meters was directly dug.

For this reason, Di Feng personally used his abilities to speed up the speed of infrastructure construction.

And this floating battleship construction platform is located in a small valley on the east side of the basin.

On both sides of this valley, there are several relatively steep hills with a height of 500 meters. The distance between the two hills is only 500 meters. Therefore, relying on these hills as the foundation, a construction shipyard was built in this way.

When Di Feng and Li Xiuning arrived at the airport by plane, the main personnel of the construction factory were waiting here to pick them up.

"Welcome Your Majesty and the Chief of Staff."

Di Feng and Li Xiuning boarded the car, and the first stop was the completed floating battleship construction platform.

The convoy hurried along the highway to the valley platform on the side, and soon arrived at the construction platform.

This platform is built on the basis of a natural mountain peak, eliminating the need to build a dock foundation. The mountain peak is reinforced by an engineering mage. Along the mountain, layers of platforms and large steel-cast brackets are stacked on top of each other.

Between the two hills, there are two super-large gantry cranes that can move back and forth, capable of lifting a super-large structure of [-] tons.

Such a super project of building a 2000-meter-long and 500-meter-high mountain into a large dock. When seeing this scene, even Di Feng at this time couldn't help sighing that he deserves to be the empire he brought out.

As for Di Feng's side, Li Xiuning also saw such a majestic mechanical construction site for the first time, and was shocked by it, standing aside for a while speechless.

In the entire huge dock built against the mountain, a floating battleship with a length of 500 meters, a width of 50 meters, and a height of 70 meters, showing the shape of a locomotive, lay quietly on this platform.

"Your Majesty, this is the first-generation floating battleship we designed and built."

The factory manager stood beside Di Feng and introduced to Di Feng and Li Xiuning.

"The entire floating battleship, with two super powerful main engines and ten auxiliary engines, constitutes the power source of the entire battleship.

Among them, the lifting depends on its core anti-gravity core, and the integrated structure designed based on the core is the reason why the entire warship can fly for a long time.

According to His Majesty's description, the entire battleship needs to be able to dispatch fighter jets, ground troops, and various firepower.

Therefore, we added 220 missile silos above the battleship, and added warehouses capable of loading three sets of missiles.For a normal trip, the warship can carry 880 missiles.

In addition, there are ten latest magic main guns on both sides of the battleship, as well as ten interceptor missile launchers, each with twelve interceptor missiles.

And ten interceptor cannons, because the internal volume of the battleship is large enough to carry several units of cannon bullets.After that, it can also carry twelve fighter jets, as well as an army combat regiment.

It can be said that a floating warship is equivalent to an independent combat force. "
