Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

"Actually, what I said is still a bit abstract." Daxus' voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes swept among the crowd.

"If we want to truly implement it, we must start from a clear direction and not advance in all areas at the same time. The advancement of standardization must be carried out in stages."

He slowly stretched out his palm, with his fingers slightly bent, as if he was controlling a blueprint that had not yet taken shape.

"My plan is to start with the machine tool. In addition, we also need more specific theoretical support, which cannot be achieved without your construction."

As he spoke, he looked towards Colonia.

"Two years! Get this done within two years."

There was a mischievous gleam in Colonia's eyes. She knew that this was not a time that was casually mentioned, but a realistic and feasible plan that Dacus made after careful consideration with her.

Two years is just the maximum period.

Without hesitation, she stood up with a playful smile on her face. Then, she tapped her bulging chest with her right hand, making a crisp sound, and then raised her right hand high in a gesture of commitment.

"If that's the case, let's make it happen."

The next moment, Dacus' voice exploded like thunder, shaking the entire restaurant.

"Stop military construction until standardization is completely completed!"

The whole room fell into silence instantly. Even the Vaal priests from Athel Loren felt the weight of these words and froze in their tracks. Everyone's eyes fell on Daquus, with surprise and disbelief on their faces.

"you sure?"

Finally, Malekith broke the silence. His voice was low, but it couldn't hide the meaningful smile in his expression.

While he was asking, he was shouting in his heart: Here he comes, here he comes!

He knew Dacus too well. Although Dacus was now more mature and calm than before, and even showed a certain unfathomable temperament, some things had not changed from the beginning to the end.

Just like when they first met...

Dacus usually doesn't flatter people, but whenever he does, there will definitely be bad things happening afterwards.

"Sure!" Daxus' voice was sonorous and powerful, without any hesitation.

"Weapons, armor, and war materials must all be included in the standardization system. Weapons of uniform size, armor plates of the same specifications, standardized arrows, and highly interchangeable crossbow parts. Once these things are standardized, the army's supply, training, and maintenance will become more efficient than ever before."

His eyes swept over everyone present, his tone calm but unquestionable.

"We don't have the need for large-scale warfare right now. Even if we do, the current military reserves are sufficient to support a high-intensity war. Therefore, before standardization is completely completed." He paused, his eyes more determined, "Stop military construction!"

"Once standardization is established, we will then carry out mass production. By then, the equipment produced will have higher interchangeability, lower maintenance costs, and faster replenishment efficiency. Finally, when the armament iteration is completed, the old equipment will be completely eliminated and recycled."

Malekith did not raise any questions. He listened quietly and nodded slightly. Daquus's logic was impeccable.

This is not just a temporary adjustment, but also a far-reaching layout for the future. As Dacus mentioned a long time ago, the industrial and military construction of Duruchi must go through a period of pain before it can usher in a real transformation.

As long as he can get through this period, Drucci will be reborn.

He can also take advantage of this period to carry out a deeper integration of the army, re-divide its organization, and further enhance the army's combat effectiveness.

There were not many core members of the Druch present this time, only Malekith, Daxus, Colonia, Hirsis and Kolan.

After the meeting started, Hirsis remained silent, listening attentively and thinking. He did not refute or make suggestions. Having left the army, he had a clear understanding of his position. His position was the Night Warden of Nagarond, ensuring the order and stability of the city and carrying out all the tasks assigned by Malekith and Daquus. Armaments, industry, and standardization were not things he should consider. What he had to do was to implement them.

Kolan also did not raise any questions. In previous discussions, he had understood the necessity of standardization and agreed with Dacus' plan.

More importantly, Malekith, to whom he was loyal, did not object. Since the Witch King acquiesced, the matter was already settled, and there was no point in arguing.

"Without an efficient transportation system, no matter how much our productivity increases, supplies will not be able to reach the front line quickly, the supply of troops will still be delayed, and the repair of warships will still not be completed quickly."

“Therefore, the further expansion of logistics and transportation will not be carried out until the basic work of standardization is completed!”

Daxus spoke decisively, his words were firm and without any hesitation.

"Standardized transportation tools, warehousing methods, and even road widths will directly affect the operational efficiency of the entire society. Before the basic standards are determined, blindly expanding the logistics system will only create more chaos. Instead of investing resources in an inefficient system, it is better to wait for a more complete solution."

Everyone nodded in tacit understanding.

No one objected, because they all knew that Dacus's decision was not just empty talk, but the optimal solution after careful consideration.

Daxus believes that the existing logistics and transportation are sufficient to maintain it. Later, he plans to build a railway in Naggaroth to connect the north and the south, connecting Gorond-Nagarond-Hagrid Graves-Clarkarond.

Before he was ready to start, he started from Clarkalond and went to Anaheim to get some fresh air. He had been there once before, when he returned to Naggaroth after his first trip to Lustria. The land from Anaheim to Clarkalond was basically flat, with only a few rolling hills, so it was very convenient to build a railway. He just needed to cut down the trees and dig out the roots. The cut trees could also be put to use, after all, the demand for wood in Duruchi was unlimited.

With the railway, the attack of the Druch Army will be extremely convenient. The army will march along the railway line and supplies will be transported by train. There is no need to go through the woods as before, which would increase losses.

When Anaheim was captured, it would be turned into a supply base, and supply fleets to Ulthuan would depart from there.

This involves strategy and Calonde Cal. After all, Anaheim is close to Ulthuan. A clipper ship can reach the waters belonging to the Kingdom of Terenlock in a few days. Further east, you will reach Prince Island and the Dragon Bay of the Kingdom of Caledor, which is very close to the Strait of Lothern.

However, the geographical location of Kalond Kal is too special. Nagarond-Hal Gansi-Kallond Kal cannot be repaired at all. Not to mention the future positioning of Hal Gansi, the Sea of ​​Malice cannot be crossed.

Build a cross-sea bridge? Duruchi doesn't have the technology to do so. Even if he builds one, how can the Black Ark pass through it? Undersea tunnel? Duruchi doesn't have the technology to do so either. Moreover, there is not only the Sea of ​​Evil and Resentment, but also the Sea of ​​Cold Heart. Whether it is a cross-sea bridge or an undersea tunnel, two must be built.

Of course, you can also start from Clarkarond and build it close to the Sea of ​​Malice, but you still have to build a bridge when you reach the Sea of ​​Frost. Moreover, the distance between Clarkarond and Nagarond is almost the same.

Not only is Karonde Karl in a bad location within Naggaroth, the environment is also bad. Ships will be damaged if they stop there, and the transportation of supplies is a big problem. In the absence of railway support as a forward base, supplies need to be stored in Naggarond, and the fleet will arrive there first and then set off from there.

From a strategic point of view, it was also bad. It took three to four weeks for ships from there to reach the Vast Ocean near Ulthuan, and when they arrived, they would see the rotten land of Nagarythe. The problem was that Druki had adjusted his strategy this time and was not going to land in Nagarythe as before.

That is to say, after arriving in Nagarythe, we have to drive south to the sea area of ​​Terenlock Kingdom, to...

If we start from Clarakalond, pass through the Venom Forest, and reach Anaheim, the distance between Clarakalond and Hag Graves is only a short distance.

After Druch left Naggaroth, a part of the Krakarond-Anaheim line could still be retained. There was no other way, the Venom Forest and the Twisted Woodland were there, and the development of the elven society could not be separated from wood.

So, why bother?

Railways are made up of steam engines, carriages and rails. In addition, there is also supporting management, such as when to add water and when to enter and exit the station. All of these need to be standardized.

The emergence of a rail requires countless steps, and these processes also need to be standardized. He doesn't expect the rails to last for hundreds of years. After a century, Druki will have fled from Naggaroth. It will only take a century to last, so there must be standards.

This involves the dynamic update of standardization theory. Standards are not static and need to be constantly optimized to adapt to technological development and the needs of the times. In layman's terms, rails in the future must be durable and last longer than a century.

At that time, there is no need to tear up the rails, just leave them there and leave them to the greenskins. Let the greenskins use their thinking skills to turn the rails into handy weapons.

Waaagh!

When the greenskins have made it all the way to Anaheim, the elves will also have a Waaagh! Let the greenskins see what a real Waaagh is! Let the greenskins see dive bombing, see artillery coverage, and see flamethrowers.

There is no problem at all. The elves cannot do without the Mystic Sphere, and the production of the Mystic Sphere cannot do without Deha. Even if Duruchi runs away from Naggaroth, Anaheim will still be preserved. Just as Daxus had studied before, the main body of Clarkalond will be docked in Anaheim, and an industrial university and weapons production factory will be opened in Anaheim. When the land of the Kingdom of Terenlock that was submerged in the sea rises again, the distance between the two will be closer.

Naggaroth, which borders Anaheim, is all wilderness, which is enough for expansion. The greenskins coming to Waaagh! will be the best subjects for weapon experiments. There is no need to look for them deliberately. The main goal is to deliver them to your door and burn them with a flamethrower after beating them.

Dacus didn't think he was just flattering. There was nothing wrong with what he said. The unified rails and standard carriages meant that he could get the exact number of soldiers and supplies for each transportation. With the standard, the next thing would be easy. In his cognition, this was a symbol of order, not something like being a so-called righteous party.

"Standardized building materials and construction processes can speed up expansion, reduce resource waste, and improve the quality of buildings. Imagine that every military camp can be built in a very short time, and the layout of every city is optimized, making social scheduling and resource allocation more efficient. Therefore, after the standardization of machine tools is completed, the standardization of tools, building materials and construction processes will be carried out immediately!"

The room fell into silence as everyone digested Daxus's words.

question?

No!

There is nothing to question at all.

Dacus' intentions were obvious. The expansion of the army's armaments was temporarily suspended. The army's framework was first established, talent selection was completed, and the army was allowed to start construction in Naggaroth. When the infrastructure was completed, the army would be upgraded.

There is nothing wrong with this idea, it can even be said to be perfect.

This is not like simply converting the army into a railway corps or a construction corps, but more like creating jobs through large-scale infrastructure construction so that people have food to eat and work to do.

Build infrastructure first, and once the foundation is laid, the army can formally expand.

And Dacus has already named this plan, the First Five-Year Plan!
The core content is clear.

First, solve the problem of tools and construction equipment, standardize production tools and building materials, and ensure construction efficiency. Launch large-scale infrastructure construction, transform Nagarond and other major cities, and build large barracks and training grounds in the north of Nagarond to reorganize the army.

When it was completed, the second five-year plan began.

Turn to railway construction to create an efficient transportation network. Once the railway is laid, the real, new war machine is started!
When all these steps are completed, the war form of Duruchi will undergo a complete transformation, although it is still fighting with cold weapons...

"If this could be achieved... warfare would be completely rewritten."

Karahir's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself. When he came out of Lauren Loren, he never thought he would hear such an amazing plan here. This was not just military expansion, but a subversive social change and a reshaping of the rules of war.

Industrialized warfare.

Mass-produced armies. Assembly-line conquest.

These concepts exploded in his mind, making him feel an unprecedented fear.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions surging inside him, and then turned to look at Estel, Queen Marest's agent.

Estelle's face remained calm, maintaining the usual calmness and elegance of an agent, however, her slightly tightened fingers revealed her inner unrest.

If Karahir's fear comes from the awe of the unknown, then Estel's fear is even deeper.

She saw the huge gap between the future of Ainel and Duruchi. If all this really came true, how would Ainel deal with it? Ainel's relevant system was in Tal Litanel, behind the waterfall. The Vaal priests there still held the ancient blacksmith workshop and forged exquisite swords one by one, while Duruchi had already begun mass-producing wars and creating a complete system for slaughtering the world.

She looked at Daxus in silence, as if for the first time she had truly seen how terrifying this man was.

Bel-Ahor's expression was even more complicated. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent in the end. The deeper he went into the society of the Duruchi, the more he felt an unspeakable fear. There was no real scene, not at all, but he saw the horror in Dacus' words. The Duruchi were building a huge, cold and orderly new system, a new system that the Asurs could not build at all.

In the world of Asur, everything depends on tradition and personal skills, but here, everything is broken down into precise processes, each gear is strictly calculated, and each individual is planned to operate in a larger machine.

Drucci is using a completely different way to shape a future that belongs to them, a future full of order, efficiency and unshakable power.

"If all this is accomplished, Druch will become more powerful than ever before..."

This is not an exaggerated assumption, but a cruel reality.

And Bel-Ahore, as an Asur, is witnessing all of this happening.

“The treatment and management of workers must also be standardized.”

After Dacus finished speaking, he fell into a brief silence. This was not a simple question, but a systematic project involving a wide range of aspects.

The formulation of workers' treatment is not only related to production efficiency, but also involves social stability, class mobility, military morale and other aspects. If you are not careful, it may trigger a chain reaction and even shake the foundation of the entire Duruch society.

His mind was working rapidly, thinking about who should be responsible for this matter and how to formulate appropriate policies.

If he remembered correctly, after the opening up, female workers in a textile factory in the south could earn 1400 yuan a month by working overtime, while the average wage in Beijing was only over 200 yuan at that time. Some female workers worked for a few years, brought the money they saved back to their hometown, bought a house directly, and lived a life of retirement at home.

This is not the way to do things in a Drukhari society. It is very easy to cause problems.
If the income of ordinary workers far exceeds that of the military, then who would be willing to be a soldier? Why would you want to be a soldier? Wouldn't it be better to be a worker?

Duruchi is a military-first society. The army is always the foundation of the ruling class. The status of soldiers must be higher than that of ordinary workers. This is the cornerstone of social stability.

But at the same time, the treatment of the working class cannot be too low, otherwise the operation of the entire industrial system will be paralyzed. This is a delicate balancing game, how to ensure production efficiency while maintaining the superiority of the army?
This matter must be handled with extreme caution.

Not only that, the economic differences between the north and the south, the price system, the labor force structure and other issues must also be taken into consideration. When the King of Ulthuan comes, the north and south Druki will reconcile their accounts, and the Druki of Naggaroth will probably be torn apart after hearing this.

"Everyone is working so hard, how come there is such a big difference? Is this reasonable?"

Therefore, he must establish a complete set of standards to ensure that the Drucci industrial system can develop healthily without causing social conflicts due to uneven distribution of treatment.

In terms of treatment, he plans to set a minimum wage standard, referring to the Fair Labor Standards Act. This law is a labor bill passed by the Roosevelt administration in 1938, with the aim of improving workers' living conditions and reducing capital exploitation.

At that time, the wages of Aramco workers were generally low and their living conditions were extremely poor. The bill stipulated a minimum wage of $0.25 per hour to ensure that workers could maintain their basic livelihood. He planned to learn from this model and formulate a minimum wage protection system for the workers in Druch.

Working hours must also be standardized.

Currently, workers work 10-14 hours a day. The labor intensity is ridiculously high and they are almost overdrawing their lives.

Dacus decided to implement an eight-hour work system, and for some special cases, such as those where the furnace could not be shut down, a three-shift system was implemented. This would not only improve the quality of life of the workers, but also improve overall production efficiency and avoid accidents and inefficient production caused by overwork.

Eight hours is not too much, but not too little, just right.

On June 1940, 6, the self-defeating alliance promulgated the "Decree on the Transition to an Eight-Hour Workday, a Seven-Day Workweek and the Prohibition of Workers from Leaving Their Duties in Enterprises and Institutions without Permission." Enterprises that implemented a seven-hour workday extended it to eight hours, and six-hour workdays to seven hours, with the exception of jobs that were harmful to health. The six-day workweek was changed to a seven-day workweek, with the seventh day of the week being a day of rest.

On June 1941, 6, the war broke out, and overtime was inevitable. The "Working Hours System for Wartime Employees" was issued, which contained only five items. For overtime work of one to three hours a day, the remuneration would be increased by 26%; minors were required to participate in compulsory labor, not exceeding two hours a day; pregnant women in their sixth month of pregnancy and breastfeeding women in the six-month breastfeeding period were not required to participate in compulsory overtime, and maternity leave remained unchanged; regular leave and compensatory leave were cancelled, but living allowances were issued, and only patients could take leave.

As for the welfare system, this is also an aspect he must consider.

Medical insurance, job allowances, and improvements in the working environment are all areas that must be included. Although Jingling does not have the concept of retirement, he can start with medical subsidies and other aspects to provide basic security for workers and avoid excessive consumption of labor.

Especially those positions that are not suitable for human work but must be done by people, such as furnace top workers, furnace front workers, coke oven hot repair workers, etc. These positions are not only intensive, but also extremely harsh in working environment. It is common for people to run away after working for a few months. Moreover, once a mistake is made, it may paralyze the entire production line or even cause a serious accident.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish high post allowances and at the same time establish a complete responsibility system to ensure that practitioners in these positions have sufficient professional qualities and stability.

Of course, problems like these in high-temperature jobs are relatively easy to solve in this world.

After all, the elves have the belief in the god of fire and magic props to shield heat. But this does not mean that practical problems can be completely ignored. High temperature, dust, noise, and highly toxic gases all need to be taken into consideration.

Labor dispatch is a consumable, but Drucci is not.

In the process of building the industrial system, Dacus never considered relying on dwarf labor dispatch to fill the gaps in industrial workers. First of all, the number of dwarves is too small to support a large-scale industrial system.

Even if we find dwarven craftsmen who are willing to work for Duruchi, it is just a drop in the bucket and is far from enough to meet the huge labor demand required for industrialization. Unless we launch a great expedition and destroy the Zaar dwarves' homeland in the Dark Land, but this...

Secondly, dwarves are an extremely difficult race to control, but of course this is not a problem for Duruchi.

Therefore, the dwarves must never become the pillar of the industrial system. The real industrial system must be in the hands of Druch himself!
Later, Daxus prepared to take in the dwarves of Naggaroth and pack them up to send to Asheril. The manufacturing model of the Serpent Islands in the north of Chapeyuto was still in the era of craftsmen. It was a place dedicated to making magical equipment for the Duruchi and Lizardmen. It was a place suitable for the dwarves to shine and maintain their traditions.

Therefore, Dacus focused his main efforts on two truly valuable elven forces, the sorceresses and the priests of Val. The sorceresses possessed profound magical knowledge, and many fields involving metallurgy, materials science, and chemistry were closely related to them.

In certain key production processes, magic can greatly improve efficiency and even solve problems that conventional processes cannot overcome. Whether it is high-temperature smelting, material strengthening, or precise processing, magic can play a vital role.

However, the number of sorceresses is limited after all, and it is impossible to let them personally participate in every link of the production line. Their value lies in technology research and development, process improvement, and providing unique magical assistance, rather than serving as ordinary workers to fill the labor gap in the industrial system.

The Vaal priests are the top elf craftsmen. They have the most exquisite forging skills among the entire elf race and can create the most exquisite and powerful weapons and equipment. But like the sorceresses, their numbers are also scarce and far from enough to support the entire industrial system.

Therefore, Dacus positioned these two groups as managers and leaders rather than direct operators.

What they have to do is not to make each weapon themselves, but to formulate production standards, improve the process flow, and build an unprecedented industrial system in the elven world, so that ordinary workers in Duruchi can also manufacture high-quality products according to precise standards, rather than just relying on the skills of a few masters.

A truly large industrial system cannot rely solely on a few elites, but must rely on the support of the entire Duruchi society. The industrial system is the real foundation of Duruchi and the core of Duruchi's future rise. It is not only a tool for producing weapons and equipment, but also a guarantee for the stability and sustainable development of Duruchi society.

Daxus knew very well that once Duruchi established a powerful industrial system, it would completely get rid of the limitations of the traditional forging model and allow the entire society to enter an unprecedented era of prosperity.

This is not only a tool of war, but also a cornerstone for printing money, maintaining system governance, enhancing national strength, and shaping social order.

After he came to power in Ulthuan, the industrial system became a powerful trump card in Daxus's political game. The industrial system was his confidence, his bargaining chip, and his weapon.

The industrial system, like the army, will become the cornerstone for Duruchi to sit firmly on the throne of the Phoenix King, ensuring that Duruchi's rule is unshakable!
Therefore, workers are not consumables, but an important part of the production system. Reasonable management of workers' treatment is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of industrialization.

"I will be responsible for the treatment of the workers."

After thinking for a while, Dacus finally made up his mind that this matter must be decided by him personally. Then, he turned to look at his cousin and said in an unquestionable tone.

“Standardization of worker management is your responsibility.”

He knocked on the table and glanced at the core members present. Although his tone was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

“Start with three aspects: recruitment and training standards, performance appraisal system, and safety production regulations.”

"First, the recruitment and training standards and the uneven skill levels of workers lead to unstable production efficiency. In the industrial system, instability is a fatal problem. Therefore, we need to develop a standardized training process to ensure that every worker can quickly master the required operating skills, rather than relying on experience to slowly explore."

"Second, the performance appraisal system. The efficiency of different workers varies. Some work hard, while others are lazy. If we don't have a transparent and fair performance evaluation system, then production efficiency will be seriously affected. By establishing standardized work processes and performance indicators, we can ensure fairness in management, avoid inefficiency, and ensure that everyone's work can be fairly evaluated."

"Finally, and most importantly, there are safety regulations. Not everyone in the factory can use magic to protect themselves like us. Ordinary workers face heavy machines, high-temperature furnaces, and sharp metals. Even the most skilled craftsmen can cause a tragedy if they are not careful.

Yes, we can send patients to Aishriel for treatment, but the time it takes to go back and forth... Therefore, we must provide workers with safety equipment, formulate strict safety operating procedures, reduce work-related accidents, and ensure that their lives are protected during the production process. "

"At the same time, the responsibilities of management positions and the daily work processes of workers should also be standardized. In terms of management, production management, equipment management, quality management, and safety management should be established."

He thought it through, production management and quality management will be handled by the sorcerer system. In his previous life, he was born in a worker's family, he knew workers too well, in this life he was Duruchi, he knew Duruchi too well.

Production management is responsible for the scheduling and execution of specific production lines. Before the start of the shift, the production plan for the day needs to be formulated and it is necessary to deal with the workers. It is just right to hand it over to the sorcerer. The sorcerer knows how to manage the workers correctly, and if something goes wrong, there is someone responsible.

The same is true for quality management.

Equipment management requires ensuring the normal operation of machinery and equipment and formulating maintenance plans. Safety management requires the implementation of safety production standards. There are only a few Vaal priests coming to Naggaroth, but they are just enough. When the time comes, we will equip them with bicycles, which will keep the tradition and shuttle between factories to inspect and implement.

He paused, then chuckled and answered his own question.

"Does it make sense to do this? Of course it does! The core of standardized management is to reduce confusion and improve efficiency. If every factory operates according to the same standards, then whether it is deploying workers, adjusting production plans, or expanding industries, it can be completed in the shortest time possible."

“Through industry regulation, we can ensure that workers are treated fairly and at the same time reduce the gap between the rich and the poor so that different sections of the Durouche society can enjoy the dividends of industrialization instead of having wealth concentrated in the hands of a few.”

His tone gradually became heavier. He knew that industrialization was not just a mechanical change, but also a social change. In this world, anything related to change would be a bit of a bummer, so he had to be careful. To put it bluntly, everything was his way of playing against Tzeentch. If he didn't handle it well or noticed it, something bad would happen.

"Standardization of worker treatment and management is an indispensable part of the industrialization process. It is not only the key to improving productivity, but also the cornerstone of social stability and long-term development."

His voice echoed in the room, and the air seemed to become heavier.

"Only when our society is built on an efficient and fair system, will we be qualified to conquer, rule, and shape a future that truly belongs to us!" (End of this chapter)
