Release that Witch Chapter 585: Day of departure
Three days later, 1,500 soldiers executing Operation Remove Fangs boarded set off and headed to the first target of looting: Scarlet Water City.
At the same time, in accordance with the guidelines set out in the strategy meeting, other First Army soldiers also successively escorted ammunition and food to northern region. They will follow the inland water network and pass through the Scarlet Water River, Kingdom Capital canal, and Sanwan River in order. And finally arrived at Quiet Valley Town.
To cope with such a large-scale march deployment, in addition to Neverwinter City's Stream Ship all invested in the mission, Roland also leased thirty sailing vessels from Margery Commerce to transport war supplies.
In this way, he can deliver 3,000 soldiers and corresponding cannon ammunition to northern region within a month, that is, before the arrival of July. If in future generations, the transfer scale of several thousand people may be completed in one or three river trade passenger ships, but in this era, it is already an incredible pioneering work.
When Operation Remove Fangs gets enough God Punishment Stone, the vanguard will also go to northern region. In the end, Quiet Valley Town will gather an army of 4,500 people, forcing Church to open a group on Cold Wind Ridge.
Of course, the emergency plan is not absent. One type of situation is Church, which moves extremely quickly. For example, let a small part of God Punishment Army assault without logistics and travel south along Impassable Mountain Range to Neverwinter City. Another type of situation is when the enemy gives up Holy City, and enters the kingdom from the junction of Dawn and Greycastle's.
The five hundred people who stayed at Neverwinter City were in defense of the former. Defensive battles always gained certain advantages, especially with the support of a 152mm stronghold gun. The latter is a double loser. First Army will have to enter the war of attrition, Church will lose Holy City of Hermes, faith and status will be severely affected, and Greycastle will also lose a large number of people.
Fortunately, the second situation has a very small chance of appearing. Church has completely lost its foundation without Holy City, and the Greycastle lost population can still have a chance to recover. As long as the pope does not lose heart, the pope will not adopt this suicide method of combat.
With the departure of the first fleet, Pearl of the Northern Lands Edith Kant.
"Please be assured that Your Majesty, I will write to my father and ask him to take out half of the Northern Lands stored grain for soldiers to use, and feudal lord of Quiet Valley Town will fully cooperate with all requirements of First Army."
"Aren't you going back to Northern Lands?" Roland asked.
"Instead of going home, I want to follow First Army to participate in all the next battles," Edith stood on the side of the ship, raised his hands and raised his long hair, and then saluted his chest. "My brother asked you."
"I will take care of him."
"Thank you Your Majesty, then I will wait for you in the real war at Quiet Valley Town."
After the ship left, Nightingale's dissatisfied voice remembered in the ear of Roland, "Well, it's a life-and-death war, but she said the same as dating her lover."
"cough cough ... is there?"
"You can't see that? The hair-raising action ... now it's not windy, it's all too much." Nightingale said coldly. It's an instinct. "
"Are you still thinking about that letter?" Roland shook her head with a smile and laughed, "Everything was impossible. By the way, is she reliable?"
Nightingale reluctantly replied, "Basically nothing is wrong, at least when it comes to expressing allegiance and talking about those battle plans, it is all true."
"That's enough," Roland exhaled. "Let's go back to the castle."
During this period, although Neverwinter City was facing the pressure brought by the war, the good news is that many of the projects planned during Months of Demons have gradually ended, and the infrastructure has ushered in a stage of fruitful blowout.
The most important is that Western Region has finally obtained its own estuary.
After receiving this news, Roland notified Ministry of Construction as soon as possible, and soon there will be multiple batches of houses, warehouses and temporary dock on the bank. With the natural deep-water port as the foundation, larger ships can also be built, but considering that Anna has focused on military production, these shipbuilding plans have to be postponed until the end of the war.
The supporting project No. 67 has also started. It connects the factory area with the southern bank by the Scarlet Water River bridge set off. The construction team is the original team of Kingdom Highway. Roland has also fulfilled its commitments at the same time. Nearly half of its outstanding performers have obtained Neverwinter City's full resident status and issued ID cards.
In addition, the first coke oven of Northern Slope Mountain was put into production.
Accurately, it could have started running earlier, but it has been stumbling during the trial period. For example, the air in the furnace was not emptied when the furnace was first turned on, which caused the coal used for dry distillation to burn directly; for example, temperature and time control Not in place, leading to coking failure. Later, there was also a serious accident in which the exhaust pipe was blocked by smoke and the flame suddenly burst out of the furnace when out of coke. Fortunately, with the playback capability of Asia, the causes of these accidents were quickly identified and a series of improvements were made. A new batch of coke ovens is also under construction.
In addition to infrastructure, military production has also ushered in a breakthrough.
The howitzer that can add a important weight to the war has finally been successfully trial-produced.
Although the charge of the warhead is limited and the charge of the warhead is limited, it can still cause fatal blows to enemies within a radius of ten meters. After adding fragments, this distance can be doubled.
It is conceivable that if several 152mm cannons with a range of nearly ten kilometers are put on the battlefield, they will be able to cross preset positions and directly strike the enemy's rear. People of this era have never experienced the horror of the King of War. The damage caused by the shock wave and fragment to the enemy without any cover is absolutely devastating.
Unfortunately, such heavy stuff can only be transported by Hummingbird in coordination. With situation without a hard road, only two doors can be deployed at a time.
Even so, Roland is unwilling to give up such a powerful firepower.
In contrast, the message that the principle model of steam turbine has run successfully is not so important.
After all, whether it is a new steam ship or thermal power generation, there is not enough manpower to develop it for the time being. In a sense, from the moment Kingdom of Dawn intelligence was received, Neverwinter City has entered the wartime system, and all planning must give way to war, and Anna is no exception.
Now she works daily in the morning to process shells and fuzes, and in the afternoon cuts the key parts needed for heavy machine gun.
The arsenal also produces bullets and revolving rifle in three shifts. Thanks to Mystery Moon and Candlelight, all types of machine tool can run at full capacity without major problems.
Soon after returning to the office, the flight messenger sent a secret letter from the fjord.
This is ... A reply from Tilly?
Roland quickly opened the note and finished scanning the letter. After pondering for a while, he let Nightingale find Macy.
"Bring Silvie to catch up with the set off fleet and let Iffy do what the letter says."
"Go!" (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-02-1405: 05: 41
