i have a super island

Chapter 928
Lu Fengmei is complaining to Fang Fang.

Fang Fang also nodded repeatedly while listening. Of course he knew the current situation of Wan Guo, and there was no way for Lu Fengmei to complain to him.

As the lord of all nations, one should always listen to the complaints and complaints of the people below. Otherwise, everyone would be exhausted and suffocated. Who would like to do this kind of work.

"Is there enough manpower at the smelter?" Fang asked.

"It's not enough. The most important thing now is the smelter and the shipyard. I have sent all the workers I can to these two places, so I'm afraid that the progress will be delayed." Lu Fengmei said.

Fang Fang held his chin and said: "Get over it, there is no other way. The enemy must enter a state of emergency. Now all the young and strong men of the right age on the island have been recruited into the army. The first thing we need to consider is the combat troops. , followed by other aspects.”

Lu Fengmei let out a long sigh, and said, "Oh... how could I not know, it's not just complaining, I have to do what I have to do."

Now, the entire island has entered a state of combat readiness, and a large number of young and middle-aged men have been recruited into the army, causing the rapid expansion of the military strength of the nations.

There are more than [-] soldiers recruited from the main island of Wan Guo, plus [-] soldiers supported by Black Tooth Island and Bailu Island, [-] soldiers supported by other small islands, and [-] soldiers left on Deer Island. The strength is more than [-].

Only less than [-]% of the soldiers are veterans with combat experience, and the remaining [-]% need training to reach the level of fighting the enemy on the battlefield.

One of the serious consequences of the mass conscription and training is that the society has lost a large amount of labor force. Those factories in Wan Guo lacked young and strong labor force, so they could only use older, middle-aged and elderly people to work, and the production efficiency dropped a lot.

What's more serious is food production. There were many fishermen and farmers on the island before, and they could produce enough food to feed so many people on the island.

But now a large number of fishermen and farmers have been called into the army, and they usually conduct military training, resulting in fewer people farming and fishing, and correspondingly, the food production of all nations has also decreased.

Fewer people work, leading to higher wages for workers; fewer people farming and fishing, leading to food shortages, and food prices are also rising; in order to pay a large amount of military expenditure, new currencies are constantly being minted, leading to inflation and rising prices ;Because of the critical situation of Wan Guo, everyone is worried about the future of Wan Guo, and the purchasing power of copper coins has further depreciated.

A series of problems are pushing the nations to the precarious cliff, and all these equations as the lord of the nations can be best understood.

The reason is that Wanguo is just a small island, just a small island country, which cannot develop a small-scale peasant economy, and its productivity has not developed to a modern level, so it will react very violently when faced with shocks.

Fortunately, these are only temporary and will not last forever.

Fang Fang knew in his heart that the key battle to determine whether the nations could survive was whether they could defeat the Nile fleet.

As long as the Nile fleet can be defeated, the development of all nations will be flat, and no one can stop it.

People gathered in the city, and everyone was scrambling to see the corpse of the fighting mermaid.

Suddenly, there were several deafening bangs from the distant sea, followed by several meteor-like fireballs hitting the city wall.

The fireball was so powerful that it smashed the city wall made of stone and lime into a big hole in an instant.

The ground under the feet was trembling from the loud noise, and it sounded like someone was beating a big drum in the ears, and the flying stones scattered from the top of the city into the city.

The people who had never seen such a scene ran around in fright like headless chickens.

There was a panic and fear expression on Fang Fang's face, and Li Qingman, Lu Fengmei, Lianna and others who knew what was going on were equally terrified.

artillery!

It was the sound of artillery just now, and someone was firing at Wan Guo.

The first round of shooting has not stopped yet, and another round of artillery bombardment hits. It seems that detonators are being fired on the distant sea, and the rumbling sound forms a row of sound walls.

About two or three seconds after the sound reached the ears, countless iron balls roared and smashed towards them.

Some smashed on the city wall, causing rocks to fly; some smashed inside the city, killing the chaotic people on the spot.

"It's shelling, quickly hide in the house!"

Fang Fang yelled at him in his heart, what kind of bastards are these f***ing bastards, playing with cannons for no reason.

In order to protect the people in the city, several civil affairs officials are trying their best to maintain order and prevent the people in chaos from hiding in houses.

"Lianna, you protect everyone."

Fang Fang gave Lianna an order, and immediately climbed to the city wall, he wanted to see who it was.

Climbing to the top of the city wall, the top of the city has been smashed and there are holes everywhere. The soldiers on duty were frightened by this scene, curled up and hid behind the wall pier.

Everyone has never seen this scene, and they don't even know what's going on. They think it's a divine punishment from the gods.

Fang Fang climbed up the wall pier, and saw two sailing warships on the western sea from a distance, and those two warships were firing at the city.

The two warships were about 500 meters away from the island, and it was impossible to see anything at such a long distance.

At this time, Liana suddenly came to the city wall and sent the only telescope on the island to Equation.

"How did you come?"

"Madame sent me, she knew you needed this."

Taking over the binoculars, Fang Fang stood on the city wall and looked at the two warships on the sea.

Now we can finally see their origins clearly. The flags of England are hoisted on these two sailing warships.

Those black gun barrels protruded from the hull, and there was a flash of fire in an instant, and then the hull was shrouded in white smoke from the violent burning of gunpowder, and then the sound of rumbling and thundering reached the ears.

Light travels the fastest, followed by sound, and finally those fired shells fall to Wan Guo City.

Seeing this scene, Fang Fang shuddered all over, and quickly hid under the wall pier in fright.

A moment later, the overwhelming shells hit the city wall, shaking the city wall and knocking down many houses in the city.

Fang Fang and Lianna crawled tightly against the ground. Under the scene of heavy artillery fire, they did not dare to make any disturbance at all, and could only wait for the shelling to end.

"These bastards, if you keep bombing like this, Wan Guo City will be destroyed!"

Fang Fang gritted his teeth with hatred, but now that people are firing bombardments on the sea, even if they want to fight back, they have no chance.
