Chapter 625 Chapter 625 Industrial Layout
The recent armored troops of the Tang army are quite boring. They lost the opportunity to quickly intersperse and advance by leaps and bounds. They could only follow the infantry, squeeze forward a little bit, and attack a little bit.

This is completely inconsistent with their previous tactics, and it also makes them a little at a loss: they prefer the feeling of running forward unfettered, and are not very interested in covering infantry.

From this point of view, equipping infantry with assault guns is actually a relief for armored units, freeing them from the heavy burden of supporting infantry.

Moreover, the senior commanders and generals of the Tang army are not willing to lose the tank troops in the tough battle. They prefer to let these armored troops run like cavalry, defeat the enemy like lightning, and encircle and destroy the opponent.

Therefore, under Loew's suggestion, both Tiger and Redman withdrew their armored units. Both the 1st Armored Division and the 4th Armored Division began to rest and replenish, and the main attack tasks were handed over to cheaper infantry. .

On the other hand, in order to reduce infantry casualties and experiment with new weapons and equipment, the main force of the attack can only be handed over to troops equipped with assault guns.

The Air Force is consciously hoarding fuel, saving ammunition, and reducing the number of take-offs of aircraft, because the factory in the rear has reduced part of its production capacity due to expansion.

In addition, the air force had to transfer some troops to the coast for defense, which directly led to a sharp drop in the number of air force bombings on the Tang army's front line, and a sharp drop in support density.

Therefore, Tang Jun's attack speed has slowed down, which is also in line with the strategic thinking of continuing to lure the enemy.

It seems that this situation has given Mirage and other countries an illusion that the Tang army has begun to lose strength.

The number of planes fighting less and less, the armored units are almost invisible, and more and more tanks without turrets appear. All these phenomena all explain that the Tang army is starting to weaken!
For everyone, such news is undoubtedly exciting, and it is also another reason why Mirage Kingdom has been increasing its troops in Beiyuan City.

In fact, the purpose of reducing front line investment and slowing down the offensive is to lure Mirage to continue to increase its troops in Beiyuan City on the one hand, and to redeploy resources to improve the overall environment of domestic industrial production on the other hand.

Alice is currently reorganizing Tang's domestic production capacity, which is something that must be done: many new factories need to be put into production, and mature workers need to be deployed to support them, which will inevitably reduce the production capacity of some existing factories.

Although the apprenticeship system of Datang Group has made up for the shortage of workers to the greatest extent, the construction of new factories will inevitably affect the production of old factories.

There is no way around this: the industrial development of the entire country cannot be stopped, and if more factories are needed, the existing human resources have to be allocated reasonably.

AMP is currently building a new production line for an armored vehicle called the Type 113.The structure of this full-track armored personnel carrier is not complicated, and the price is quite cheap. It is also a good thing that can be equipped with large-scale troops in the future.

In order to support this new factory, 4 skilled workers had to be transferred from the tractor factory and the No. 100 tank chassis production factory to support it.

The new factory was led by Parker, and it was also a new project approved by His Majesty the King. Naturally, everyone attached great importance to it.

Another project was also set up in Copper City for convenience, like the tank factory. This project produced a new wheeled armored vehicle for the troops.

Tang Mo was careless and named this project Puma, but there is no place in this world called America.

Then he used ten times his strength to explain to the confused engineers and military commanders what a puma was.

His blueprints for this thing probably didn't take so much time and effort: the new wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle was eventually renamed the Lion, and it was easy to understand.

But then a rigorous minister found a city called America, which means a beautiful sandbar.The city was on the edge of a desert, which met the naming criteria.

It's a pity that the city is on the border of Qin State, and it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Tang State. It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, but it can be regarded as out of reach.

However, if analyzed from a certain angle, this seems to have exposed the great ambition buried deep in the heart of His Majesty the king-it is almost the same as Liu Bei naming his child Fengchan.

As for the fact that there are no lions near America, it was selectively ignored by everyone.Two or three days later, with the start of construction of the Lion armored vehicle production plant, the matter disappeared with the wind.

In addition to these two new equipment production plants that have been put into operation, Alice is also trying to transfer the immigrants from Long Island to Linshui East Bay and other places as much as possible.

Although Long Island is the place with the highest industrial level and the most dense industry in Datang Kingdom, it is actually not convenient to concentrate so many factories here.

Except for aircraft manufacturing plants, oil fields that cannot change their location, and shipyards, this place is actually not suitable for producing other things at all.

Because no matter what is produced here, it needs to be transported across the ocean to other places, and the cost will remain high.

What is even more frustrating is that this kind of transportation sometimes means that the timeliness is reduced: the tanks produced in Tongcheng can be sent to the front line to participate in the war in a week, and the tanks produced in Longdao can only reach the water in a month.

For Datang Kingdom, which urgently needs a large amount of production capacity, this is absolutely intolerable.That's why Alice helped Tang Mo optimize the industrial structure as much as possible.

She wants to build more factories in Linshui and Tongcheng Dongwan to replace Longdao and become the new industrial core of Datang Kingdom.

She has even begun to transfer the production of Tang Jun's 105mm shells to the Qiwangcheng Industrial Zone.

It has now been renamed Pingning, and it has become the largest industrial base in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom. Under Alice's plan, it will not only produce one-third of the aerial bombs and shells needed by the Tang army in the future, but also be responsible for the production of cars and trains.

In the near future, the Datang Kingdom’s civilian ship production plant will be located in Beiyuan, automobile production in Binning, light industry in Nanye and Luozhen, armored vehicles and artillery production in Anpu, and tank and steel production in Tongcheng. , The warship manufacturing industry is located in Linshui East Bay, and the submarine manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing are located in Longdao.

The capital Chang'an will exist as a political center rather than an industrial center. Its role is more of a symbol, a symbol of the Tang royal family.

The main reason why he was able to do this was that the victory of Dragon Island gave Tang Mo enough confidence: his navy can go north, which means that the new force that has not participated in the battle can be put into follow-up operations.

Tang Mo's calculation is: to cut off the enemy's sea support line and encircle Beiyuan City to the naval fleet that has not participated in the battle, so as to minimize casualties and reduce the pressure of the battle.

He is confident in his fleet, or he is very confident in the East Bay-class battleships.As soon as these warships arrive on the battlefield, the situation can change radically.

In this way, the logistics supply of the mirage army will be completely cut off, and the mirage ground troops trapped in Beiyuan City will be in a desperate situation.

Tang Mo has been thinking about at least 10 mirage prisoners in Beiyuan City all this time!With these coolies, Tang Mo can start the next development plan, laying two new railways and building a large number of factories.

Anyway, these workers don't need money, and they don't need to care about life and death. If Mirage wants to ask for peace, they will have to pay compensation, which is another additional income.

In short, Tang Mo is already thinking about the follow-up of dividing up the dividends after the war, and he no longer needs to focus on the current battle situation.

The Datang Group did not slow down its pace of growth because of the war, on the contrary, it accelerated it greatly.

And the Cyric advisors stationed in the Frost Empire finally saw a lot of rags from the front line of the Qi-Tang War.

As expected, most of the equipment can't see anything, and their understanding of these weapons and equipment is too shallow.

In fact, the whole world is being dragged forward by Tang's industrial production concept, and it is impossible to copy it, let alone learn to understand and surpass it.

Tang Mo was able to come up with a mature metal formula that had been verified through countless experiments and practices, but the same formula Cyric's technicians could only experiment repeatedly, walking the old path of earth civilization.

This is where the gap between the two sides lies. The more sophisticated and complex the technology, the more so: when Tang Mo comes up with more advanced things, maybe these Cyric engineers who are still thinking about the old technology will not even look at it. I can't understand it.

"Damn it, can't they get some finished products?" A Cyric advisor complained annoyedly, throwing a piece of rotten iron in his hand on the table.

What do you think he can see from the wreckage of a severely distorted machine gun?The parts inside this thing are seriously deformed, and a large part is missing...

"Don't complain! It's very good to get these things." A dwarf belonging to the Cyric Consortium persuaded without raising his head: "You know, the Tang Kingdom has not retreated since the war started. One more step!"

"They have always been on the offensive. Even if there is discarded and damaged equipment, it will be behind them and will not fall into our hands! The only ones are obtained by the people below." He put down A paratrooper helmet with blood on it, explained with a sigh.

"Let's go, take a look at that thing called an airplane, and see if you can inspire your thinking." Another Cyric engineer beside him couldn't wait to suggest.

He came all the way from Bunas to the Frozen Empire just to take a look at the wreckage of the plane...

There is something temporary today, there is no way to make up for it, and it will be made up tomorrow.
