Chapter 1115 Firearms Army Station Selection
The first question ended according to Xuande's suggestion, and Qu Mao was also very satisfied. After all, according to Xuande's plan, the firearms army was bound to take shape faster. Qu Mao was worried at the beginning that the expansion speed was too fast, and the production speed of muskets and artillery could not keep up. Since Xuande is sure, Qu Mao naturally agrees.
After discussing the first question, the second question is to choose a garrison for the Firearms Army and find a site for the Firearms Research Institute. Qu Mao believes that the temporary experimental site of the Firearms Research Institute is next to the Liandao Lathe Factory, which does not meet the safety requirements. , and there is no secrecy.
Therefore, Qu Mao wants to choose a suitable place, which can not only meet the needs of the firearms army station, but also meet the concealment needs of safe firearms research and development. A little smaller, but the security is not inferior to where these three places are located.
Zhao Pan felt that the firearms research institute and the firearms army station did not necessarily have to be located in holy places, it would be good to put them in Wucheng. City, couldn't be better.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Da said: "My lord, Mr. Zhao Pan suggested putting it in Wucheng, but my subordinates think it's better to put it in the second guard city. The second guard city has not been built for a long time, the personnel are not complicated, and a lot of places are blank. , Randomly circled a place can be used as the garrison of the Firearms Army.
Wucheng is good, but after all, it took more than two years to settle in. A large number of family members of the army were placed outside Wucheng. There are very few places outside Wucheng that are completely uninhabited. "
Mo Yangqiao immediately said: "After all, our Yigong territory is an army and a foreign military branch. Master Zhang Da suggested that the Firearms Army should be placed in the Second Guard City, so I think it is better to put it in the Valley of the Kings.
The Valley of the Kings is inaccessible, and the number of people resettled is even rarer now. The East Gate City and West Gate City have locked the king firmly..."
Su Buqing said: "No, the Valley of the Kings is a large prison after all."
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, this subordinate feels that the Firearms Army garrison and the Firearms Research Institute should not be placed outside the Holy Land as much as possible.
Now we have five armies in the territory of Yigong. The main bases of the navy are in Nancun Naval Military Base, Yihai Naval Military Base and Wucheng Port. The main bases of the Army are in Wucheng. .
Although the main base of the Magic Army and the Guards is in the Holy Land of Yi Island, the Magic Village can no longer accommodate such a large Magic Army team. Sophie Trani and Jenny Walter are looking for a place to build Maiji in the Red Leaf Principality. The city and the surrounding passes will serve as the main base of the magic army.
The future magic village is only used as a magical holy land in Yi Gong's territory for some high-level magicians to live and live.
After all, the 15 islands in the holy land only have the garrison of the Imperial Guard, and the subordinates think this is very inappropriate.
Once Maiji City is built, and the surrounding blockade passes are built, the magic army will have an independent area with a diameter of 100 kilometers as its main base. Not to mention the magic army, even the families of magicians can be settled. "
Qu Mao asked: "Except for the magicians in the magic army in our territory, there are no unemployed magicians, right?"
Sophie Trani said: "My lord, the magicians in the Yi Gong territory are mainly in the magic army, but there are still some wild magicians scattered in the Teleportation City Space Magic Research Institute, Magic Village, Yi City, etc.
Considering that the area of the magic village is too small, the subordinates and the teacher considered building Maiji City and its affiliated towns in the Red Leaf Principality, mainly to accommodate retired magicians due to injuries. Not many magicians get married, so the magic army Families of soldiers are not the main consideration. "
Sirta Delta hurriedly said: "My lord, the magicians in the wild are under the dual jurisdiction of the Magic Army and the Magicians Association, and will not bring any uncontrolled harm to our society.
And among the 8,000 wild magicians, at least 1,000 are researching how to combine magic with the convenience of residents' daily life. The inspiration is the magic communication tower in our lord's hut. "
Qu Mao's heart moved, he nodded, and said: "Magic skills are still relatively destructive, and it is necessary to have dual control. More positive guidance from the Magician Association is needed. It is also a good thing to be able to divert people to use magic to change people's livelihood. "
Kong Ming shook his broken goose feather fan and said: "I personally still lean towards Sylvia's opinion that the firearms garrison and firearms research institute should be placed within the scope of the Holy Land, but the areas that can be developed on the islands of the Holy Land have been covered by us. After the development, even the reef chain area in the southeast region has been occupied by the navy's reef chain naval military base for more than 20 square kilometers.
These places are laid on the reef with wooden boards. If wooden boards are also used to connect the reefs and used for firearms garrison and firearms research institute, I am afraid that they cannot bear the weight of the artillery. "
Xinping spread out a map, spread it on the table, and said: "My lords, my lords, please see that there are two connected islands at this location on the way back to the holy place Yi Island from Wucheng Port.
It is about 600 kilometers away from Yidao, and about 1200 kilometers away from Wucheng Port, within the coverage of the holy place Yidao Magic Communication Tower.
These two connected islands are one large and one small, and water can pass between the two islands at low tide, and the seawater depth does not exceed 50 cm; at high tide, the closest distance between the two islands is 320 meters, and the sea depth is 6 meters deep.
The area of the small island is about 10 square kilometers, and the area of the big island is about 36 square kilometers. Moreover, these two islands are not on the route of Yi Island and Wucheng Port, but deviate about 100 kilometers to the south.
The only bad thing is: these are two completely barren stone islands, without any vegetation, without any fresh water resources, and the soil is made of hard stones.
The Ministry of Intelligence had planned to name it Midway Island and build a pier for ships traveling between Wucheng Port and Yi Island to rest, but it was abandoned due to the difficulty of construction.
The subordinates combined the opinions of several adults, and suddenly thought of these two midway islands. If they are well developed, they will not only expand the scope of the holy land in our Yi Gong territory, but also find a garrison for the Firearms Army. "
Kong Ming shook the already incomplete goose feather fan quickly, and said, "Are we still afraid of transforming the desert island?"
Qu Mao thought for a while and said, "Okay, the two islands are named Midway Twin Islands.
Immediately arrange for Li Xiang to form a team, escorted by the navy to Midway Twin Islands for preliminary development, at least build the pier first.
After discussing firearms technology with Kong Ming tonight, I will draw the construction blueprint of the Midway Twin Islands. "
Kong Ming said: "The two issues have been discussed. You go back and prepare separately. My lord and I are going to discuss firearm technology."
