At the end of the 18th year of Tianxuan, the 18th year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan in Yidi Territory was held as scheduled in the Holy Land of Yidi Territory, but within three days of the year-end summary meeting, Qu Mao's expression was not good.
In fact, the development of Yidi territory in the eighteen years of Tianxuan in terms of people's livelihood, industry, economy, education, culture and other aspects is remarkable, and it is in a state of steady and rapid development.
The development of the military is actually quite good. Although the number of soldiers has not increased, the combat capability of the army in the territory of Emperor Yi has been greatly improved. This does not mean that the army in the territory of Yidi has more or less received actual combat training in the five branch territories, and its own losses are basically negligible.
After several years of accumulation, the Firearms Research Institute on the small island of Shuangzi Island in the middle of the way presented a big gift to the army of Emperor Yi's territory. One is a small-caliber machine gun. On the premise of imitating the principle of a machine gun, a machine gun was developed, which can fire six shells in one minute. The second is the submunition, that is, a bullet is fired, and when the bullet hits the target, it explodes, and 12 small bullets are fired from it, which is very effective against the enemy's surface.
Qu Mao believes that if the armored ship’s ammunition needs to be increased without considering the load, it is entirely possible to equip the iron-clad ship with machine guns, so as to use firepower to make up for the slow speed of the iron-clad ship.
In addition, Qu Mao also suggested that the researchers of the Firearms Research Institute can try to change the caliber of the machine gun shells, develop machine guns of different specifications, and use them in different scenarios, such as the artillery units of the Firearms Army, the assault commandos of the Firearms Army, and the navy.
Only the R&D project of the steel chariot still has no core breakthroughs, but the Outlying Island Power Research Institute led by Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng has improved many versions of the internal combustion engine.
The Petroleum Research Institute established after the discovery of petroleum deposits near Shacheng has also conducted sufficient research on petroleum crude oil, which can separate more substances, and even use petroleum refining residues to produce rubber products that are no less than natural rubber.
Qu Mao felt that these were the front-end technology trees of the steel chariot, and slowly researched, and one day the steel chariot would naturally appear in front of Qu Mao.
Ironclad Ships has established an Iron Fist fleet consisting of 100 ironclad ships in the navy. The combined production capacity of the ten ironclad shipyards along the coastline of the Eastern Continent can produce 90 finished ironclad ships at the same time in one production cycle. Therefore, Qu Mao believes that as long as the resources and labor force are sufficient, the Yidi Territory Navy will be able to deploy ironclad ships very quickly.
90 ironclad ships will be installed in one and a half years, and 360 ships will be installed in six years. Counting the previous 100 ships, that is a proper nearly 500 ironclad ships.
What's more, the three ironclad shipyards funded by the navy are under construction, and the Ministry of Industry has also funded the construction of two ironclad shipyards, although it is said that they are to build civilian ironclad merchant ships.
Xuande of the logistics department is not to be outdone, and has planned five ironclad shipyards again, two of which have already been put into infrastructure construction.
It seems that within a few years, the main warships in Emperor Yi's territory will be replaced by ironclad ships. Qu Mao is naturally very happy about this news.
But these development achievements still did not make Qu Mao feel better during the 18th year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan.
In Liedehou Kingdom and Peiquanhou Kingdom, the soldiers stationed in Yidi territory for a long time are mainly to assist the God Chosen players to manage team members to develop and build territories, because neither of these two branch territories has been discovered by local forces.
Throughout the year, Fenghua Principality and Taijihou Kingdom have performed well in defensive counterattacks. Including Taijihou Kingdom, the number of soldiers retired and killed due to injuries has also dropped sharply.
Only the Shaliuhou Kingdom located in the western continent has not developed at all. This is the reason why Qu Mao is really unhappy.
During the concluding speech at the 18th year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan, Qu Mao stood on the rostrum with a dark face and said: "Everyone, it has been two and a half years since Emperor Yi's territory completely occupied the Eastern Continent. Our rule in the entire Eastern Continent has been very stable. The living standards of the residents of the entire Eastern Continent have been greatly improved, so they are extremely loyal to the Yidi Territory.
Since the establishment of our Yidi territory, we have never had such a good background for launching a strategic plan. However, in the military, although we have made a major breakthrough in weapons, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the combat command have not completed their tasks well.
Today, the 17th year of Tianxuan, I am here to announce to everyone: We are going to start a new strategy operation on other continents, and we will take the Kingdom of Shaliu as the priority area.
Military Minister Silta Delta also discussed specific combat plans with the commanders-in-chief of the six armies, but until today, I still haven’t seen any military operations on the Western Continent. Although you have many reasons, I am still very unhappy.
I announce that I will remove Sirta Delta from his position as the Minister of Military Affairs, and change to be the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Firearms Army, and personally go to the Kingdom of Shaliu to lead troops to fight. The Minister of the Military Department of the Holy Land was replaced by Zhang Yao, who retired from the battlefield of the Taiji Marquis due to injuries.
This is the first time in the 18 years since our territory was established that I have punished heroes at the year-end summary meeting.
Sirta, do you agree with my punishment? "
Sirta Delta stood up and said, "Yes, my lord!
Subordinates obey your orders and defend your glory to the death! The honor lost by his subordinates will definitely be regained for himself on the battlefield of the Western Continent. "
Zhaifidel stood up and said: "My lord, the Western Continent Raider plan has been hindered. It is because of my subordinate's ineffective command at the front line. It has nothing to do with Mr. Silta. Please punish my subordinate!"
Qu Mao said disdainfully: "Chafidel, I hope you will show the determination and perseverance you had when you formed the Firearms Army, and use your military merits to wash away the shame you brought to the Firearms Army during the Western Continent Raid."
Zhao Pan stood up and said: "My lord, the army under me is willing to take over the task of the Firearms Army and serve as the main force in the Western Continent's offensive.
Chafidel himself was born as a long-range soldier, and he is too cautious in doing things. His subordinates must be willing to charge forward without hesitation! "
Qu Mao said: "Looking back, you fight with the new Minister of Military Affairs. After the 18th year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan, other heroes will take vacations according to the past practice.
The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the six armies, and the ministers of the military department stayed to continue the meeting. "
