Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 370 Is it the king’s land in the whole world?
Emperor Qianwu nodded and looked at Li Changfeng's motorcycle.

"I'll give it a try."

"Then be careful."

Li Changfeng stepped aside, pointed to the motorcycle clutch and began to explain the control method in detail.

After a while, Emperor Qianwu understood clearly, got on and started the motorcycle.

thump!

As soon as it started, it turned off.

Li Changfeng reminded: "Release the clutch slowly and give some oil."

"understood."

Emperor Ganwu tried again, and the motorcycle started slowly, his expression gradually becoming agitated.

Seeing that the speed was very slow, Li Jianye urged: "Father, come on, your speed is too slow. The square in front of the hall is so big, what are you afraid of!"

Emperor Qianwu gave Li Jianye a hard look, and Li Jianye shrank his neck in fright, for fear that Emperor Qianwu would stop and whip him with the belt of seven wolves.

Fortunately, Emperor Qianwu's attention was focused on motorcycles, and he was also a hero of his generation who was extremely brave.

Although it was my first time riding, I was fearless and pushed the accelerator to the maximum.

He suddenly swung back and almost fell off the motorcycle. Li Jianye was so frightened that a cold streak appeared on his forehead instantly.

But fortunately, Emperor Qianwu himself was also a master of martial arts, with a strong physique and agility, he quickly stabilized his figure and started to gallop in the square in front of the hall.

Seeing this, Li Jianye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be beaten!"

Li Changfeng smiled slightly and felt that the sight of Qian Wu, who was wearing a solemn dragon robe and riding a motorcycle, was full of joy.

Soon Emperor Qianwu mastered the method of driving the motorcycle proficiently, and he rode it in style. After a while, he stopped in front of Li Changfeng, and jumped off with a vigorous posture.

"Yes, it is indeed much stronger than a horse. Hurry up and build the three-wheeled bicycle you mentioned. I want the army to use motorcycles and gradually phase them out. Well... let's start with the artillery battalion." Emperor Qianwu looked a little excited.

Li Changfeng smiled and raised five fingers: "A car costs 500 taels of silver."

Emperor Qianwu's expression changed slightly: "Is it so expensive?"

In his plan, all the elite troops of Daqian must be equipped with motorcycles. According to the configuration of three people in one vehicle, at least [-] vehicles will be needed.

Calculated according to a 500 taels, that is simply an astronomical figure.

Even Li Jianye who was on the side was startled: "Isn't this too expensive?! Even if the treasury is emptied, it won't be able to equip the entire army!"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Do you think this motorcycle is so easy to build? Especially the precision engine has a very low qualification rate, which is time-consuming, energy-consuming and money-consuming. Don't you think the initial investment should be taken into account?"

Li Changfeng was not lying about this. Daqian did not have precision machine tools, and the manufacturing process of various parts was very rough. The pass rate was as low as an appalling one percent.

In order to ensure that they are profitable, they have to set the price high.

Emperor Qianwu frowned and said, "Is it possible for the price to come down?"

"Yes, but it will take a long time."

Li Changfeng nodded and said: "Actually, Father, you don't need a lot of equipment. You can just create a motorized army to form a combat force. Anyway, the big army is now invincible."

"What you said is right, then the Musket Battalion will be equipped with [-] vehicles, the Imperial Forest Army will be equipped with [-] vehicles, and the Ouchi Guards will be equipped with [-] vehicles..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Ganwu glanced at Li Jianye: "Forget about the air force for now, anyway, you are fighting in the air."

"Father..."

Li Jianye looked unwilling, and when he was about to speak, Emperor Qianwu raised his hand to stop him.

"Ok, deal."

A total of 50 vehicles, which is [-] taels.

There are more places where the state spends money, and Emperor Qianwu must consider it in a balanced way.

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "It's okay to purchase so much in the first batch. Take your time. In the future, there will be armored vehicles that are stronger than motorcycles, and even tanks. When that time comes, my father, you will find that motorcycles are not actually useful." big."

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes lit up immediately.

“What are armored vehicles and tanks, but they are better than motorcycles?!”

Li Jianye also stared at Li Changfeng curiously.

Li Changfeng pondered his words, and tried to explain in a way that Emperor Qianwu could understand: "Armored vehicles... Well, you can understand it as a large motorcycle with four wheels, and the whole body is made of thick steel plates, let alone arrows. It’s the kind that ordinary shells can’t break, and it can pull a lot of soldiers and shoot in the car with guns…”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's expression gradually became agitated.

Li Jianye urged: "Brother Ninth, what are you waiting for? Hurry up! With this thing, will our generals still suffer casualties!"

Li Changfeng waved his hand and said helplessly: "It's not that simple. The body structure and external armor are easy to fix. The main reason is that the engine is not good. It needs a lot of power output to drive. A high-horsepower engine can't be done in a short time."

Hearing this, Li Jianye was a little disappointed.

Emperor Qianwu asked curiously: "What's going on with the tank you mentioned?"

"Tanks use tracks... It's hard to explain. Anyway, Father, you only need to know that it is easier to use and stronger than wheels. The whole body is also covered with thick armor. The most important thing is that the tank is equipped with artillery, which can be very fast. driving."

Emperor Qianwu could still control his emotions when he heard the armored vehicles, but now he could no longer control himself when he heard the tanks and let out an exclamation.

"Driving with artillery? Does that mean you can shoot while driving?!"

As a powerful weapon, the biggest disadvantage of artillery is that its mobility is really poor, and it is extremely troublesome to move its bulky gun body.

This makes most of today's artillery can only play the role of defending the city, and it is difficult to play an offensive role.

If the tank solves this problem, it will allow the combat effectiveness of the Dagan army to achieve a qualitative leap.

Li Changfeng nodded: "Yes, all of this can be achieved in theory, but the requirements for the quality of the gun body are higher, and the power requirements for the engine are also very high. The most important thing is that the price will be dozens or hundreds of times that of a motorcycle. A large amount of equipment is Unrealistic."

Emperor Qianwu laughed loudly and said: "Daqian is developing rapidly now, and it is impossible to equip a large number of equipment now. Who knows in the future? You just seize the time to research and develop. I hope to see armored vehicles and tanks in my lifetime."

Li Changfeng casually said: "Understood."

In fact, he has no interest in armored vehicles and tanks for the time being.

Who are you going to hit with such a powerful weapon?
Hu people who still ride horses and shoot arrows, or Westerners who can't even make gunpowder?

Now that Daqian is invincible in the world, there is no need to waste time and energy on such things.

With that energy, it is better to invent a real car as soon as possible.

The excited Emperor Qianwu didn't notice Li Changfeng's perfunctory attitude, and was still thinking about the future of Daqian's army.

"With armored vehicles and tanks, I will have the capital to conquer the world. I will truly be the king's land under the whole world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land!"
