God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

There is no shortage of materials for building ships, nor is there a shortage of craftsmen with relevant skills, but a ship cannot be built in a short period of time. Hearing such counter-intuitive words, Vasudeva I could not help but frown, revealing a hint of unhappiness.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that in order to support General Rahul's eastern expedition and restore face for the empire, not only a large number of laborers were sent, but also many craftsmen and professionals..." Zhu Helai, who witnessed this situation, could only explain on the spot and explained the reasons.

From the recruitment of new soldiers to the harvesting of some soldiers to serve as backbone personnel, we can see how poor the internal control of this army is.

The vast majority of soldiers were not even fully equipped with weapons, let alone armor and other equipment.

In order to assemble the army in the shortest time possible and get your own equipment.

Rahul, naturally, also took advantage of his power as a Brahmin and mobilized professional craftsmen under the Brahmin system to build one set of armor after another.

Of course, even if the Brahmins are wealthy, it is impossible for them to provide every soldier with solid armor and excellent weapons.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people here, and the resources and materials wasted every day are already astronomical figures. It is really unnecessary for the Brahmins to further optimize their weapons and equipment.

As long as it is managed properly, the Brahmins of the Kushan Empire can even be Brahmins for life.

However, this situation is based on the current circumstances, and the suggestions that can be provided are not actual execution orders, so there is still a lot of room for error.

However, even with this kind of fault tolerance, it cannot withstand the current result.

Because there is no standardized work and assembly line operation, even if the Brahmins can clearly distinguish the operating positions, it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing.

It can be said that within a short period of time, the Brahmins really gave their all and gathered such a huge amount of manpower, material resources and supplies, which can be said to be regardless of the cost.

Hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people and laborers also greatly influenced the judgment of the above members, including Vasudeva I.

In fact, Zhu Helai is very clear about the current situation and what he should do to be saved, etc.?
"In other words, the speed of our shipbuilding will be greatly affected?" Vasudeva I's words in this regard were actually full of unhappiness.

According to normal logic, the Brahmins' exploitation and domination of the lower classes are absolutely unparalleled. Who would believe that no manpower could be withdrawn under such circumstances?

Even he didn't believe it, let alone Cecicelian who knew the Brahmins very well.

Although I wanted to find a reason to delay Cecicelian, it was definitely not such a perfunctory reason.

"Yes, although there are not many. If you want to build on a large scale, you will naturally need to mobilize a large number of manpower and craftsmen to better build the Thousand Sails Navy..." Zhu Helai simply said some congratulations and completely changed the subject.

And there was another reason, which Zhu He never said from beginning to end.

That is the person of Cecilien. Does he really need a larger fleet?
At the beginning, Cecicelian's record on land was indeed not very good, but in terms of his record on the ocean, Cecicelian has never lost a battle from his youth to now.

Even if this was the case when the Kushan Empire had few rivals, it still couldn't conceal its value. Such a terrifying record could reversely build an invincible heart.

With this kind of mentality, will Cecicelian really wait for the so-called New Thousand Sails Fleet?

"Then let's speed up the construction, and while this group of naval soldiers who have successfully evacuated have not yet completely fallen into the hands of the Sethi family, we should try our best to restore the fleet again..." Vasudeva I finally made up his mind and said this with gritted teeth.

We can lose at the tactical level, but we must not lose at the strategic level.

If you want to completely unify the country, you must make choices and sacrifices. This is what an emperor should do.

Between personal will and national will, national will must take precedence. Only in this way can we lead the country to move further.

Zhu Helai nodded on the spot and prepared to pass on the order, and then asked his Brahmin colleagues to select professional craftsmen and manpower to build the new Thousand Sails Fleet.

It can be said that even if nearly half of the craftsmen were withdrawn, the remaining people could ensure that the shipyards of the Kushan Empire could unload ships as fast as dumplings.

Even though these ships had no keels, were of limited overall size, and did not use paddle wheels or propellers, they did use sails.

The overall structure is relatively small, and the production process and difficulty can be said to be very easy.

Coupled with the inhuman side of this world, a world where average per capita strength and energy are off the charts, whether it is construction or building, it is actually very fast.

Theoretically speaking, in the dozens of shipyards of the Kushan Empire, if the materials and supplies are ready, a ship can be shipped out of the shipyard in less than half a month. The manufacturing speed is frighteningly fast.

Therefore, as long as the materials and money are in place, the shipbuilding capabilities of the Kushan Empire are no worse than those of the Han Empire at that time. In fact, its shipbuilding speed is even better than that of the Han Empire, which is obsessed with building steel ships.

Decades of national reserves, the vast wealth of the Brahmins, the extreme exploitation of the lower-class people, naval ships are just something that can be produced if wanted, and can be produced crazily.

It can be said that under such circumstances of absolute racial and caste oppression, the delivery and execution of orders, provided that other Brahmins did not object, were very effective and took a very short time.

However, despite the sudden large number of orders, Zhu Helai still received some unfriendly messages, which were difficult to accept but expected.

Not every warehouse that stores shipbuilding materials for a country's naval fleet is able to comply with the established standards.

In the case of urgent production under pressure from the superiors, how can one cover up what he has done? And successfully settle the account and disguise himself as a victim.

It can be said that within two days after Zhu Helai's order was passed down, several reports of fire dragons burning warehouses were reported throughout the Kushan Empire.

However, there are warehouses with shortages and warehouses with sufficient quantities, and they began to provide large quantities of shipbuilding materials to the shipyard according to normal procedures. (End of this chapter)
