We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Teresa Carter specifically ordered the soldiers to sit at the front, and the officers to sit farther back.He actually felt quite uncomfortable when he saw the gazes directed at him one after another.

In order to prevent the sudden announcement of disarmament from being unacceptable, this matter has actually been deliberately leaked to the soldiers, and his current position can be regarded as confirmation of the 'rumors'.

For the Sakaz soldiers, the military camp is a place where they live, fight, sweat, and receive honor.At the same time, their abilities are here and they adapt to the rules here, so they feel a little scared when they leave.

But with the advancement of the times and the update of technology, there is no emotion. To continue to retain them is to make fun of their lives.

Teresica opened the document in her hand. This was the result of revising it several times and then asking Amaya, who had read the most, to refine it once.But when he actually took it out for use at this moment, he couldn't pronounce it when he looked at the tall and empty sentences on it.

Taking a long breath, Teresica put it away.

"Everyone! This time at Rem Billiton, we defeated Victoria. We faced a superior enemy and still achieved a beautiful exchange ratio. Logically speaking, this should be a very happy thing, but the frontline personnel presented it The battle report is full of words of horror and astonishment."

Teresica's voice was transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the arranged amplification equipment.

"They are not cowards, they are heroes who risked their lives to gain an advantage for Kazdaele. Dozens of them rushed into the enemy camp with tens of thousands of people, destroying hundreds of enemy artillery... But why did they do that? What about giving such a report?”

"Victoria has compiled data for its troops, which is about 200 million. The number of people who fought against us at Rem Billiton was only 9, but for these tens of thousands, they were equipped with 456 artillery, which was not only more, but also better than ours. ! When our brave soldiers faced these artillery pieces, they actually ran out of explosives."

"There are only 80 ground long-range artillery pieces in our country. Such a gap is terrifying. This also means that the force establishment we established in 1071 is no longer suitable for Kazdaele today. We must once again modify the force's structure establishment, and focus on developing technical weapons such as air equipment and ships to narrow the gap with other countries, and these...all require resource investment."

Teresica swallowed. At present, Kazdaele is still a country with a food self-sufficiency rate of less than [-]%. Staple food is completely dependent on the import of Yanguo, and fruits, vegetables and meat are imported from Syracuse.No matter what, they will definitely not sell it to you at a loss.

Therefore, the food purchase price in Kazdaele includes food costs, merchant profits, and high transportation costs.Therefore, a large part of military expenditures is really rations. Although it is calculated elsewhere, the country still has to bear this expenditure.

So should we continue to bear this expense to support a group of people, or should we move them out and invest them in industrial and technological development?This is a fill-in-the-blank question with no choice.

"For the sake of Kazdaele, for the future of Sakaz. I hereby announce with great helplessness... All ground forces in Kazdaele will undergo an adjustment and will be reduced to 4 divisions, approximately 8 people."

Excluding the Queensland Military Region Engineer Corps, which was not included in the normal establishment, after some consideration, Teresica added a reserved quota for an infantry division.

But even so, the astonishing reduction still frightened these soldiers.After the Battle of Leitania resulted in the death of more than 3 people in Kazdare, the current number of troops is still 15, which means that 7 people have to leave the army.

It took a while before someone raised their hands and stood up, with a hint of sobs in their voice.

"Your Majesty...which troops do you plan to retain?"

"The purpose of this disarmament is to adapt to the new combat model that will appear in the future. It is a good opportunity to narrow the gap with other countries. The personnel adjustment will involve all troops, and the city defense garrison is no exception. I will detail it next Explain the adjustment measures..."

Now comes the heaviest time, Teresica said.

"Jagers, scouts, communications, medics, ordnance maintenance, weapon technicians, mortar operators and other professional and technical arms will all remain. Among them, the weapon technician will decide whether to stay in the ground forces or transfer to the unmanned army according to the situation. Aircraft combat unit. The mortar crews will undergo a selection process, and those with excellent results will enter the artillery school to learn the operation of infantry artillery."

"Fortification magicians, formation magicians, melee infantrymen, and non-commissioned officers will all be selected through an assessment. Those who pass... will stay."

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others became more nervous. Teresica saw someone's face full of doubts, so she motioned for him to speak out.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if I fail?"

This is the issue that all soldiers are most concerned about right now. If it were in the past, those who retired and left the army would only have a severance package, and then they would have to find ways to adapt to a new environment. This would be a painful process.

Everyone knows this, but... His Majesty has always been different from the kings in the past, maybe this time too...

Teresica assured everyone that if there was bleeding and tears on his hands, he would not have to sit in this position.

"The remaining people after the assessment will be arranged according to two categories: magicians and non-magicians. The first is the magician. I wonder if you all know the Origin Stone high-explosive bomb? This is after we obtained the artillery technology from Ursus. The first self-developed artillery shell. The Originium Technology crystal in the explosive part of the warhead adopts a dual-reaction Originium Technology circuit. Without increasing production costs or physical changes, the explosive power is greatly increased. "

"But everything has a price. Its production process has become more complicated than ordinary Originium technology crystallization. If you want it to be applied on a large scale, you need a large number of people who are skilled in the construction of the Originium technology circuit. In Kazdale, No one understands the Source Stone skill circuit better than you."

The faces of the warlocks suddenly brightened, and if there were not officers beside them, they would probably jump up.They didn’t expect that not only would their retirement not be a burden to their families, but they would also be able to find suitable work arrangements!And you don’t have to risk your life to become a production worker!Making Originium Skill Crystals is much better at preventing the worsening of Originium infection than releasing a complete spell!

In this case, retirement is not unacceptable.

Seeing that the magicians were happy, ordinary people who were not magicians began to get nervous. They did not have any special skills.

"As for the others, I'm afraid they will have to fight in another battle."

Teresica suddenly said such a sentence, which caused a trace of confusion to appear on the faces of the officers and soldiers present.

Didn't you say you wanted to leave the army?Why is there still a war going on? !

Without any explanation in words, Teresica asked someone else to bring something to her.A beaker filled with a clear solution, and a few pieces of fresh meat.

In front of everyone, Teresica put the pieces of meat into the transparent solution. Suddenly a large amount of gas came out of it, and the meat pieces began to turn black.

"This is sulfuric acid, a very dangerous chemical industrial product. Kazdaele is very poor in this aspect of chemistry, not even as good as Syracuse."

Teresica pretended to smile, but what he said was true. A large part of Kazdaele's chemicals had always been imported from Syracuse.In the past, it was okay to be patient, but now that we have signed a production integration agreement with Eureka State, we can no longer be so careless.

The agreement is clearly written. Eureka State will provide Kazdaele with common ores and source minerals, while Kazdaele will take care of Eureka State's various daily supplies, of which medicines account for a large proportion. , it is not appropriate to continue to import chemical raw materials at this time.

Coupled with this participation in the Rem Billiton conflict, Ursus opened the chemical market to Kazdaele.This allowed Kazdale not only to see many chemical materials that he had no concept of, but also to come into contact with many chemical equipment that he had never seen before.

With the efforts of the shapeshifters and banshees, Kazdel secretly purchased a large amount of these production equipment, and the shapeshifters even stole textbooks, tutor lesson plans, student test papers, etc. from Ursus Chemical Technology School.At the same time, Kelsey provided a large amount of medical technology free of charge.

Now that we have the basic knowledge, equipment, and technology, we just need to integrate them and transform them into actual personnel.

"The production processes and products of the chemical industry are all full of dangers. Chemical production workers in Ursus and Victoria have accidents every day because of lax operations. However, it is closely related to many technical industries such as pharmaceuticals and agricultural nutrients, and will affect In all areas of Kazdale and continuing, it is impossible for Kazdale not to develop. It just requires a group of workers who can strictly implement the regulations, just like obeying orders. In this regard... I don’t think anyone can compare to Kazdale Enter our warriors."

Teresica looked at the soldiers in front of her. There seemed to be no fear of danger on their faces, and the loss of being separated from the army had disappeared. Instead, they were very happy, and there was a faint excitement of being given the vanguard mission.

"After the assessment in September, the remaining people will be reorganized under the military system and receive education. At that time, your task... no, it is an order! You must complete the two courses of Usas Chemical Technology School within 4 months. Two years of courses, and then in February next year, we will enter the Kazdaele Chemical Plant to work. This is our brand new battlefield. The safety production code is your combat doctrine, the protective equipment you wear is your military uniform, and the inspection of instruments is the inspection of weapons. For maintenance, the production team is a combat formation, and safe and efficient production is your future combat mission."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers who were sitting all stood up at this moment.

Chapter 318

After the Theresa faction members in the Military Commission were cleared, although there were still Theresian faction members, it still caused a large number of functional vacancies, and the replacement could not be completed in a short period of time. This led to the The already weak overall coordination ability of Kaz's ground forces became even more fragmented.

Although the military assessment and selection work is not a military operation, it is also a group activity involving more than 10,000 people. At this moment, the military committee is just organized, which is already the limit.

Fortunately, Teresica had done the psychological work of the soldiers in advance, and their active cooperation prompted the army's major assessment to proceed in an orderly manner.

The magician needs to test the accuracy of the attack power, in addition to measuring the scope of the Origin Stone skill.Each magician's data is different, some are good in one item and some are bad in one.The staff responsible for the assessment cannot make a blanket decision and can only record it and go back to consider it one by one.

The selection of ordinary officers and soldiers is relatively easy, it is just a test of comprehensive physical ability and cultural background, and finally adds a measurement of Origin Stone infection.There is one more item for non-commissioned officers and officers, comprehensive management ability assessment.

Everyone is trying to show their best performance, but there is still a touch of sadness in the air.On the other side, the atmosphere was completely opposite to that of the eldest son of the defense force on the ground.

After the ground combat force personnel are reduced and re-employment training is completed, a large amount of military investment will be freed up.Part of these resources will be invested in industrial and civilian construction, and the other part will be invested in the naval and aerospace forces to strengthen their construction.

However, in the current Military Commission, the Theresian faction has not yet established a firm foothold, and it can be said that Theresica's voice is the main one.So he planned to take advantage of this time to formally establish two independent branches, the naval force and the aerospace force, with the same status as the ground force.

This proposal was just mentioned and passed casually without even convening a special meeting.

Without knowing anything at all, the temporary captains of Kazdare's two destroyers, Siliax and Hefmeir, were summoned to the palace of Sarkaz.

Upon meeting, Teresica immediately asked: "Are you interested in becoming a real naval force? Just like the Victoria Naval Forces, become a professional force."

The two of them seemed to be frozen by invisible ice. They were stagnant for a while, and then the expressions on their faces suddenly bloomed again.

"Really? Your Majesty!"

"I have never dreamed of returning to the army! I left solely because my physical parameters were not up to par."

This made the two of them overjoyed. Being able to become a soldier in Kazdaele was the most honorable thing.

"What about...the people on our ship, Your Majesty? They...also participated in the battle of Rem Billiton..."

"Same."

Teresica said briefly.

Although Kazdel's destroyers participated in the battle in the name of a naval warfare force, except for the artillerymen and communications troops, the rest of their group were essentially a group of ordinary people who could sail a ship.

But that was before, and now they have experienced a baptism of war.There may still be many shortcomings, but these can all be improved in later training.

"But there is still a gap between you and real soldiers. War is not about transporting goods. I plan to transfer a group of officers and soldiers from the ground forces. You teach them how to operate ships, and they will conduct militarized training for you. And you From now on, it will be Kazdare’s naval training base.”

"No problem at all, Your Majesty!"

"We will be naval soldiers from now on! We will be soldiers!"

The two of them laughed happily. The people on the destroyer must have never imagined that they could also become soldiers as well as transport!

Seeing their excited expressions, Teresica couldn't help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu.Years of war have subtly affected everything in Kazdaele. Although it has improved a lot now, and various industries such as workers, teachers, doctors, and chefs have reappeared, joining the army is still the mainstream professional idea.

It has the feeling of a country inherited by the military, somewhat similar to a certain region of the earth.

After confirming that Kazdel's naval force would start from the two of them, Teresica tried to ask.

"Any thoughts on the future development of Kazdaele's naval force? Or how we would deal with Victoria's warships in a war situation?"

The two fell silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, compared with Victoria, let's not talk about the number of ships. Let's just talk about light cruisers, heavy cruisers, battleships... We don't have any of these. If we encounter them... we can only... ram them. But even if they hit , it can only damage the light cruiser, but the heavy cruiser and battle line will not be affected in any way."

"Just looking at the destroyers, we can't beat them. They can't outrun them, their armor isn't as good as theirs, and their artillery isn't as powerful as theirs. Your Majesty, can we build better ships ourselves to replace Ursus's second-hand ships?"

This time it was Teresica's turn to be silent. Kazdel's current ship construction was entirely centered on laying a solid foundation.As for building a destroyer with qualified performance by ourselves, an optimistic estimate is that it will take ten years.

"...There is no way at the moment. Our industry is still very weak. However, it is still possible to improve existing destroyers."

Teresica asked Shining to bring a blueprint, which was the artillery part of the bastion upgrade plan that Mel was responsible for.

"How many seconds does Ursus' original naval gun take to fire one round?"

"The artificial state we are using, the time is not stable, about...nearly 30 seconds." Siliax replied.

"We can't produce ships, nor can we produce Ursus 120mm naval guns, but we still have the ability to improve them."

Teresica pointed to the design drawing and introduced to them, "The new design has improved everything except the gun barrel. It uses our Kazdare's hydraulic parking system and imitates Victoria's loading system to achieve unmanned operation." Autoload."

"Your Majesty! What is its rate of fire?"

"One shot every 7.5 seconds."

Teresica said.The working efficiency of machinery is extremely constant, and more importantly.While it is optimized, it is all the product of reorganization using existing technologies and objects!

There is no concept of profits for an arms company in Kazdale, so the price of a single turret modification is approximately equivalent to 90 rubles!It is equivalent to two months of food expenses for a division.

However, as a reward for Mel, Teresica promised to build a special work and research room for her. She had already named it, called Lutra Studio.

After learning that there were better weapons and equipment that could be improved, Siliax and Hefmeier's expressions improved a lot, but they still spoke with a hint of longing.

"It would be great if we could also use those 300... or even 400 mm naval guns."

Chapter 319 The Fall

A super-large-caliber naval gun?

Teresica wanted to say something at once, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn't say anything.

On Earth, there is already a complete development history of ship combat, from the passionate bombardment of ironclads, pre-dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, and super-dreadnoughts, to the heroic mode of naval combat that never touches water.

This knowledge gave Teresica a vision beyond all others in certain areas.But this is Terra, not Earth, and the environments on both sides are completely different.

The steel behemoths of the earth are all floating on the sea. No matter how bombs and naval guns are baptized, in the end they basically use torpedoes to make a big hole in the hull, and the rest is left to the all-embracing sea.

And what about Terra?They are on land!

Without the ability to sink them into the sea, there would be no weapons like torpedoes that could deal a fatal blow to warships.In this case, an attack on the battleship can only disable it, making it lose its ability to move and attack, but cannot completely kill it.The remaining wreckage sits there, also a massive fortress.

'So can the fixed combat method of moving the earth still have the same effect?Could he be making an empiricist error? '

Teresica really couldn't think of any answer at the moment, but developing piston aircraft would not do any harm to Kazdaele.

Its maneuverability is unparalleled. It can directly cross many areas that are inaccessible to land ships. It is also a good hand in reconnaissance and support, which can effectively reduce the pressure of ground combat.

The Aerospace Forces had perfectly demonstrated their capabilities during the Rembiton War. The drone bombings used by the swarm cut off the frontline supplies of the Victorians. The Piercer drones successfully replaced the artillery and completed the suppression of the Victoria artillery. Task.

This time the role of aerial equipment has been seen by many countries, and it is impossible for them to ignore it.Kazdel is already ahead of everyone in Terra in this regard, which is a valuable first-mover advantage.

But how to maintain or increase this advantage?

It's impossible for a person to think of something like this while sitting here and patting his head. Teresica asked Zeppelin about his free time and proposed the idea of ​​going to the Aircraft Factory.

Naturally, Zeppelin would not refuse, but this time Teresica did not go by herself as before, but took the Sakaz clan chiefs along with her.

On September 9st, the heads of the Kazdaele royal courts and the king himself, as well as the entire Sakaz high-level officials, gathered at the Kazdaele Aircraft Equipment Factory. The workers were immediately in a hurry.

September is the time when students from the Kazdaele Polytechnic University graduate and they will return to Kazdaele from Syracuse.Then each production unit will test and assess these people, and then arrange them into various positions.

A dozen mechanics graduates were scheduled to arrive at the Air Machinery Factory today. Zeppelin was going to show them around so that they could have an understanding of the working environment and general situation.Zeppelin, who wanted to save trouble, planned to entertain them all, but he did not expect that His Majesty was not the only one who came.

"There is nothing to be nervous about. We are all here to have a look. We are no different from the group of graduates."

Teresica comforted Zeppelin and said hello to the graduates. Their expressions were very excited, as if some good misunderstanding had occurred.

Led by Zeppelin, the group walked into the factory area of ​​the Air Machinery Factory.This place has expanded a lot compared to when it was first built.
