Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 460 460 Fragile Industry

Datang Group is desperately building Dongwan Island, turning it into a modern industrial base.Other countries in the world are not idle either, they are also desperately building their own industrial cities and improving their industrial strength.

Industrial cities have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The population of these cities generally exceeds 20. According to previous standards, they can be regarded as megacities.

But now, the population of these places is still increasing, sucking in the surrounding labor force desperately.

The scale of the car factories in Goblin and Binghan countries can't even be seen at a glance. These production workshops that are non-stop around the clock supply tens of thousands of cars to all parts of the world.

The auto factories in Yucheng and Longdao are larger in scale and can produce tens of thousands of various types of cars every month, including civilian transport trucks, cars, military trucks, jeeps and so on.

The reason why such unscrupulous production is possible is because in the Nanla Empire, the Ice Kingdom, the Susas Kingdom, the Pine Kingdom, and the Gales Kingdom, larger oil fields have been put into production one after another, and the scale of the oil refinery has also continued to expand. .

In the past, strategically important places were often passes and transportation hubs. Although these places have strategic value, the number is limited after all.

Nowadays, various countries find that there are more and more strategic locations within their own borders, and each one is more important than the other!
The oil field is very profitable, and there are many types of oil field equipment and the price is expensive, so the oil field and the nearby refinery must not be lost.

In the same way, the power plants built at great expense cannot be lost, because they need to supply electricity for oil field production, and at the same time provide energy for industrial cities.

Let's go on, what steel factory, military factory, vehicle factory, machinery factory...which one of them doesn't provide countless jobs, and the equipment is as expensive as gold, which cannot be ignored?
Even railways and highways are full of blood vessels, which cannot be easily damaged!Because even if only one railway is destroyed, there will be problems in the mobilization of materials, the supply of food for the city and the raw materials for industrial production will be cut off, and the huge industrial city will fall into chaos.

Even the most humble water supply plants, sewage systems, and modern hospitals are important facilities to keep cities running.

Modern cities are more vulnerable, and modern industrial systems are more vulnerable to war, which brings a new problem to the rulers of all countries: how to protect all of this!
In the process of industrial modernization, all countries have enjoyed the dividends of industrialization. Their taxes are higher, the materials they produce are more abundant, and people's quality of life has indeed been improved.

These countries have more money in their hands and are more powerful, so they can afford to spend a lot of money to buy whatever they want: equipment, weapons, medicines...

The good news is that industrialization has liberated more people, industrialization has provided countries with more funds, and industrialization has also given these countries the ability to manufacture weapons.

As a result, it became possible to arm more armies, and countries were therefore able to form more troops to protect increasingly vulnerable cities and industrial facilities.

A few years ago, the battle between the two kingdoms, which involved [-] to [-] troops, was already considered a grand scale.

Because there is only so little logistical capacity, each country has only so many troops, and so many weapons and ammunition reserves, so the troops that can be mobilized are only of that size.

But nowadays, there are tens of thousands of armies in various countries, and the simple military system of the so-called legions and battalions in the past has completely outdated the times.

Ever since, under the tutelage of the graduates of the Datang Group Military Academy, the more advanced military establishment has spread to all parts of the world.

The system of military divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons began to spread, and armies of various countries formed their own armies according to this system, and arranged them to the army level in one go.

In their ignorance, military commanders from various countries were forced to accept and get used to the emergence of some messy special military units one after another, and the ownership of various new types of troops became a mess again.

For example, for the new airship troops, the distribution of command power in each country is completely different. Some are directly owned by the monarch, some are assigned to the commander of the army, and some have established an air force.

Another example is the anti-aircraft artillery unit. God knows whether these anti-aircraft artillery units should be under the command of the army or whether an air defense force should be established for unified deployment!

Don't think that these things that are taken for granted today are so simple, because everyone in this era is exploring new tactics and tactics, and no one knows the correct answer!
There is good news: Over time, many countries have developed the capability to produce multiple types of weapons, and at least when it comes to traditional army weapons, the technology has diffused for all to see.

All countries have begun to produce machine guns and rifles, and pistols are no problem. There are also many countries that can produce cannons and supporting shells by themselves. The weapons of various countries have also become diverse.

Before, because everyone could only purchase weapons, the caliber was actually very uniform.Basically, they are all 7.92 mm caliber, whether it is the K3 rifle of the Datang Group or the Cyric 1 of the Cyric Consortium, they are all the same.

But later, the Mosin Nagant rifle produced by the Ice Kingdom adopted a new 7.62 mm caliber, which made many countries see another possibility.

Ever since, when producing their own rifles, all countries have made some articles on the caliber: some people use 7.5mm, and some people use 6.5mm.

The caliber of guns is not the hardest hit area, what really makes people jaw-dropping is actually the caliber of artillery!The artillery factories of various countries, which let themselves go, have gradually developed cannons of various weird calibers after gradually losing their technical constraints.

The heavy-duty 280mm caliber siege gun of the Datang Group gave inspiration to all countries, and Dorn's arsenal subsequently launched a 300mm caliber heavy gun, which opened the eyes of other countries.

Although the transportation of this kind of artillery was a disaster, and although Dorn could only install this kind of artillery on the fortress as a fixed firepower in the end, other countries followed suit one after another, and regarded the artillery caliber as another form of national power competition. .

Subsequently, the arsenal of Susas developed a cannon with a caliber of 310 mm. Transporting this cannon requires a new way of thinking: the front is dragged by a car, the sides are assisted by cattle and horses, and a car is used in the back. push……

Then, under the "inspiration" of the Datang Group, countries have turned their attention to the railway: Obviously, there is an upper limit to the transportation capacity of relying on automobiles and cattle and horses, and railways and trains can raise this upper limit.

Immediately afterwards, the calibers of artillery from various countries that opened up their horizons became incomprehensible: First, the Nanla Empire developed a 400mm caliber train gun.The Poplar Kingdom followed closely with a 410mm caliber train gun.

With this crazy development, the caliber of the artillery is about to break through the sky, approaching the 500mm mark.

The large-caliber artillery is flying all the way, and the small-caliber artillery is also constantly "tossing". In the past, Cyric has always used 130 calibers, and Datang Group has used 105 and 155 calibers. Now the artillery calibers of various countries are varied, including 100 and 150. Yes, there are 110 and 152, there are 120 and 160, and there are 95 and 145...

Anyway, purely from the point of view of caliber, everyone has drawn a clear line between each other, and everyone looks unhappy.

In short, the development of the petrochemical industry and the mining industry has become the cornerstone of industrial development in countries all over the world. The machinery and equipment working in the open-pit mines where conditions permit are so huge that they are as high as several floors.

They are mounted on rails of special width and work in circles along the mine, extracting iron ore or coal.

The towering chimneys of factories in various countries are constantly smoking day and night, and many cities have been submerged in a choking fog.

In this way, half a year after the Datang Group took Dongwan Island, another huge industrial city appeared, and its name was Lyons.

As a brand new city built with the help of Datang Group, it has a complete sewer and water supply system, power supply facilities that far exceed the specifications, buildings with more than seven floors can be seen everywhere, and the spacious streets are all poured with asphalt.

Schools, hospitals and other facilities are all available here, as well as cinemas, opera houses, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, casinos, brothels...

Similarly, on the outskirts of the city, there are countless factories of all kinds, all of which seem to be comparable to Bunas a few years ago.

With the construction of the city, the population here has already exceeded 30. Everyone knows that there will be no problem with the population exceeding 50 in a few years.

And on the most spacious street in Lions, which is the core area of ​​Central Avenue, is a newly designed magnificent palace.

Wright VII finally got his wish on this day. Amid the congratulatory applause from the envoys from all over the world, he proclaimed himself Lioness I and proclaimed himself emperor.

The celebration ceremony was extremely grand, and the Datang Group also sent a troop to participate in the military parade. Dozens of phalanxes passed by the military parade stand one by one.

Tang Mo fulfilled his promise. He provided more armored vehicles, cars, and artillery for the military parade, giving Lioness I enough face.

The Nanla Empire also gave enough face. The Emperor Nanla sent his prince to attend the ceremony, and announced on the spot that he had recognized the Lions Empire.

Immediately after Dorne, Susas, Galles, Yangmu, Pinewood, Binghan and other countries announced their recognition of the Lions Empire, Lions I became the first emperor who was enthroned and proclaimed emperor with video records.

From then on, the name of the Wright Kingdom will be changed to the Lions Empire.Wright VII was also replaced by Lyons I on this day.

A new empire was born.
