Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 726 Orders
"The range of the first-generation artillery is actually very limited. Even if you find the best upward firing angle and there is no wind obstruction, you can only shoot the shells for a little over four kilometers at most, and the accuracy is also very worrying."

"In order to improve the range and accuracy, the main difficulties lie in three aspects. First, the improvement of the sealing technique requires more manpower."

"The second is the material. The current toughness of the alloy can only withstand this level of wind force. This is still the case even with the sharing of the sealing technique."

"Three is..."

Subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Lei Luo, their eyes briefly met, Uzumaki frowned and thought for a moment, then stood up slowly, and said in an uncertain tone:

"I always feel that simply using wind power to drive the artillery to shoot is not impossible, but the efficiency is a bit low. If the impact force brought by the explosion is used..."

"It should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Having been engaged in ninjutsu development and scientific research for many years, Uzumaki Koichi, the deputy head of the Uzumaki clan, is now gradually approaching researchers like Orochimaru, which is a good thing in Lei Luo's view.

If Koichi Uzumaki, Orochimaru, and Beiliuhu can make him feel at ease like Uzumaki Koichi, Orochimaru, and Beiliuhu, and never engage in power struggles and political struggles, and use their ingenuity and intelligence to engage in scientific research, then the Kingdom of Fire The speed of development can undoubtedly be accelerated several times.

The above thoughts flashed through his mind, Lei Luo settled down, noticed that Uzumaki Koichi was looking at him, he pondered for a while and then responded:
"Is the explosion ignited? If the research route is changed, how long will it take for the new artillery to be finished?"

Uzumaki Koichi secretly counted with his fingers, then shook his head, and replied very honestly: "The sealing technique needs to be adjusted, and the fire attribute ninjutsu that matches the cannon needs to be redeveloped, and the material..."

"I really can't tell."

Not sure, it means that the research time can be estimated at least in years, especially the replacement of alloy materials is a long-term project, and the upgrade of artillery depends on the upgrade of materials. I don’t know how long it will take to realize the idea of ​​Uzumaki Koichi. time.

"Forget it, don't focus on the modification for now, and then check the artillery for any loopholes, and then you can start to put it into production."

Quickly drawing conclusions, Lei Luo turned his head, looked at the real cabinet minister Mamoru Kageyama who was standing next to him, and asked while pointing at the cannon:
"How much budget does the cabinet have now?"

Knowing that the Prime Minister is planning to mass-produce this new type of weapon called artillery, Kageyama Mori lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied with a slightly hesitant expression:

"Currently about [-] million can be spent, but if all the money is used to produce artillery, the development speed of other aspects may be affected, such as infrastructure, recruitment, and people's livelihood."

Infrastructure is related to the railway network plan, and recruiting is the Ninja Plan for All People. It seems that people's livelihood can be reduced, but if social welfare funds are mobilized, the people in the country of fire will definitely scold their mothers, which will be detrimental to the country's military mobilization.

The Land of Fire is developing everywhere now, and there are as many people building factories and starting businesses as there are stars. The cabinet seems to be short of money. After all, it will take time for the large shares of private investment to be successfully collected and fixed. Assets are not the same as liquidity.

As for printing a lot of money?If the productivity is insufficient, print money today, and wait for inflation tomorrow, and the society will be chaotic-others don't understand this truth, but Lei Luo understands it.

The material cost of a cannon is about 50 taels. If the wages of the Uzumaki family's sealing skills and skilled workers are added, the cost must reach at least 60 taels, which is a bit expensive to be honest.

Although he was reluctant about this price, but thinking that after the war started, every few ninja squads would have a cannon, capable of blowing up the enemy from several kilometers away, Lei Luo still made up his mind after all.

Exhaling a long breath slowly, he said:

"The cabinet first took out [-] million and delivered it to the industrial park. Uzumaki Koichi, I will see at least [-] artillery pieces in half a month. Can it be done?"

Lei Luo's request is not too much, Uzumaki Koichi nodded first, quickly calculated the number of artillery that can be built with [-] million, and then replied:
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, within a month's time, all three of the 330 cannons will be in place. At that time, I am willing to spend 1000 million taels of my family's funds, and give away [-] detonating talisman shells."

Uzumaki Koichi expressed his attitude in time, and his behavior can be said to be a resolute response to national policies and fully support the general direction of foreign wars. This quality moved Lei Luo, but he would not let his hard-working subordinates suffer in vain.

"No, the money for the detonating talisman shells comes from my assets in the industrial park. You just need to be strict and don't do anything to cut corners. After these orders are completed, I will personally reward you with a bonus of 100 million taels." .”

Strictly speaking, the Uzumaki clan project team led by Uzumaki Koichi is only responsible for recording the sealing technique, but he is the deputy head of Uzumaki after all, with a high status and a wide range of knowledge, so the entire artillery project, from research and development to production He is in charge of the process.

Hearing Lei Luo's words at this moment, Uzumaki Koichi didn't say anything specific, but nodded firmly, and replied seriously: "I will take good care of my subordinates, Hokage-sama, please rest assured."

The order was settled, and Lei Luo didn't bother to pay attention to the production matters. It was only a matter of time before the artillery was put into use. He immediately waved to everyone, and started to go elsewhere. He planned to see the progress of several other key projects. How's it going.

But at this moment, Kageyama Mamoru suddenly called out to stop him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the cabinet now has [-] million taels of liquidity. This amount is very dangerous for the country. Please see if you can bring it up to the Congress..."

Cautiously approaching Lei Luo's ear, he glanced at Chuan Yihui who was not far away from the corner of his eye. Kageyama didn't finish his words, but the meaning he could express was very clear. Simply put, he wanted money.

Lei Luo also glanced at Chuan Yihui, and saw that the old man was looking at the cannon, chatting with Uzumaki Hao Dashemaru and the others, without looking over, he quickly replied in a low voice:

"The more than 20 billion that was given to you half a year ago was spent so quickly? You are a prodigal prime minister, you are printing money when you are a father? The Congress... How much has the Congress spent over the past year? You are not ashamed and I will pay you back." Ashamed."

The more than 20 billion yuan was obtained by Guanghui from confiscating all kinds of illegal assets of the congressmen half a year ago. Lei Luo didn't know where the guard of Yingshan used the money, but in short, continuing to rob the congressmen of their money would undoubtedly cause conflicts.

This kind of thing can only be done by Huiqian, Lei Luo "has no idea where the money came from", but if he ends up in person, will he still be famous?

On the other hand, hearing Lei Luo's evaluation of himself, Kageyama Mamoru felt uncomfortable in his heart. God is sorry, of the more than 20 billion, the amount used by the cabinet for administration is less than 15 million, and the remaining [-] billion is used by Lei Luo I voted for the project.

Like artillery, detonating talisman bombs, detonating talisman shells, the development of the fourth-generation chakra reagents, the development of various ninjutsu, and the industrialization of blood succession limits. They are really desperately throwing money into it. Where can he justify it?
