Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

More than half a month later, Tide City, 500 meters away from the city gate, was surrounded by many people.

"Hey, what is such a big iron lump?"

"What kind of train is it called, it is said that it only takes half an hour to get from here to Suxincheng."

"Isn't it that long to ride a horse for half an hour?"

"I don't know, but it's said to be able to pull a lot of things." "

Hey, can such an iron

lump run as fast as a horse?" "There are so many people sitting on it, all pulling and running together?", can they run so fast?" "

Who knows? Anyway, Count Su Zheng made it up." "

Oh, that's not strange, the steam engine that Count Su Zheng made, isn't that thing powerful?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that this is pulled by a steam engine. "

Hey, it's moving

!" "Hey, it's a steam engine, you see it's the same as the steam engine in our factory!" On

the platform, people looked at the simple train and talked about it.

As the steam began to maneuver, the smoke began to come out of the chimney, and many people recognized it as the steam engine in their factory!

A bell rang, and the train spewed out a large cloud of smoke and slowly moved on the tracks.

There are also several simple carriages pulled at the back of the train, and there are several cars on which people are seated.

The train slowly pulled out of Teide Station, and many people began to move with the train, and some people rode horses.

"Boom... Bang..".

The train began to accelerate slowly, faster and faster, and the sound of the wheels rolling became more and more rapid.

Soon most of the people could not keep up with the speed of the train, until the last person who ran on foot was mercilessly left behind by the train, and only the man on horseback still followed.

After a few more kilometers, the speed of the car gradually increased, and soon the horses could not keep up.

The man on horseback refused to admit defeat and flicked his whip desperately, hoping that the horse would run faster.

The last two riders stopped, looking at the speeding wagon.

However, there were still people on horseback who were desperately chasing after them, but fortunately the train did not accelerate quickly, and maintained a relatively consistent speed with the horses.

People on the train waved their silk scarves at the people riding horses outside, and others poked their heads out to feel the impact of the wind.

In Su Zheng's territory, everyone admired Su Zheng, so they didn't have too much fear of the train that Su Zheng made, but more of a novelty.

Everyone was amazed at how fast this tireless iron lump could run with coal. The merchant was also happy, this is a cheaper but faster means of transportation than an ox cart.

.....

Soon after, the train began to slow down, and there were still a few people chasing after it on horseback, but it was already some distance behind the train.

Seeing that the train began to slow down, the rider excitedly sped up his horse and chased after the train.

By the time they caught up with the train, the speed of the train had dropped a lot.

After a while, the train slowly drove into the Suxin Railway Station, and the people around surrounded it, all expressing their surprise at this iron lump.

The people on horseback also followed, telling these people about the deeds they had just chased this iron lump, and people were surprised that an iron lump that looked so bulky could run as fast as a horse, and even surpass a horse!

Not far away, Su Zheng and Logitech watched the train enter the station under the escort of the guards, and unlike the simple curiosity of other people, Su Zheng and Logitech were full of excitement.

Just when Su Zheng was happy, Chris came over

in a hurry and said to Su Zheng: "Your Highness, the spies of the Clare Kingdom have sent news, they have moved

!" Hearing this, Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands and applauded:

"Okay! Okay! I've been waiting for half a year! Immediately notify Lei Ming that they are coming to the meeting!"

....

Su Xincheng, the city lord's mansion

, and the conference hall Su Zheng and Chris, Lei Ming, Li Zhen, and Noelle sat around the conference table in the conference hall.

Chris took the information and said to everyone

: "Half a month ago, the Clair Kingdom withdrew the troops that went out, and then the Xingnuo Empire immediately launched a full-scale attack on the Xinqiong Empire, and the main forces of the Xinqiong Empire were all trapped on the eastern front, until two days ago, the Clair Kingdom declared that the imperial family had been controlled by the cabinet, and then a full 300,000 army division went north!"

Hearing this, Su Zheng was a little surprised and said:

"300,000! Oh my God, how many troops does the Clare Kingdom have

now!" "A conservative estimate is more than 500,000! There were originally 200,000 troops, but after the initial formation and industrialization of the industry, the Klar Kingdom has expanded its army vigorously, and now it is at least more than 500,000. "

The Xinqiong Empire is more auspicious and less auspicious! There are now less than 600,000 troops left on the Eastern Front, but they have to face the 800,000 troops of the Xingnuo Empire, and only 200,000 troops defending Kyoto, while the Klar Kingdom has 300,000 troops heading north

!" "Let them fight, we should also do it!"

Su Zheng rubbed his hands excitedly and said, Su Zheng's road to conquest of the other world can only really begin now!

"Okay, the first step of the battle plan, the eleven cities jointly announced the formation of an alliance! Then ask the surrounding city-states to join the alliance immediately, and strive to integrate all the 21 sub-feudal city-states in the southwest within half a month! Next, the target is Clair!"

"What? Wait? Dakral Kingdom?"

Hearing Su Zheng's last few words, Noelle, who was originally excited, was directly stunned, and after reacting, he looked at Su Zheng with a surprised face and asked.

"That's right, the kingdom of Klar has already achieved initial industrialization, let's occupy them first, and we can pick up ready-made ones.

"But you are stupid, now the Xinqiong Empire is at a complete disadvantage, and the Clar Kingdom does not occupy us, just because you have to cooperate with them, they still have at least 200,000 troops undispatched, do you think we can fight... Ay.... Wait a minute.... Oh yes... Hey, it's okay, you go ahead and you go on.

Noelle, who was excitedly explaining what was at stake, stopped suddenly, then scratched his head, suddenly realized something, and laughed.

Seeing Noelle like this, Su Zheng couldn't help laughing:

"Poofhaha

, you, you, you are, you are the chief of staff!" Also, summon all the city lords of the other eight cities to Suxin City. "

Understood!" After giving the task, Su Zheng stood up and said:

"Everyone, gather the troops, prepare for battle, and in three days! The operation will officially begin! Attention! This time it is not acting! It is not acting!" "

Understood!"

The

four stood up and replied in unison.

Lei Ming and Chris then walked towards the door, but Li Zhen and Noelle were still standing in place.

"Hmm, do you have anything to do?"

Su Zheng looked at the two of them and asked, Li Zhen and Noelle glanced at each other, Li Zhen raised his hand and motioned for Noelle to speak first.

Noelle smiled and nodded at him in thanks, then looked at Su Zheng and said,

"Your Highness.... I want to write a letter home...."

"Write, it's your freedom.... Oh! censorship of your correspondence is canceled, and you can write anything to your father, including... The existence of muskets!" "

Since showing the musket to Noelle, Su Zheng has carried out a communication review on Noelle, and she has also expressed her understanding, and she has rarely contacted the outside world, and has been learning various military theories and analyzing some famous battles in Xizhou.

"Really? I just wanted to remind my father...."

Of course, I'm ready to expose the musket, so it doesn't matter, and.... I believe that your father is a person who understands, he knows what to do! Just like you!"

"Yes!" After

listening to Su Zheng's words, Noelle clenched his hands excitedly, there was another meaning behind Su Zheng's words, which was an affirmation of himself.

Ever since she saw the muskets and artillery and the army armed with these weapons, Noelle had already realized the future, and with Su Zheng's territory being so well governed, she was ready to follow Su Zheng.

Su Zheng still has a good impression of this family, Adelaide is very far-sighted, and Su Zheng admires him.

It was also a chance to take this opportunity to test Adelaide for the last time. If he relayed the existence of the musket to the Kingdom of Klar, then it means that Adelaide Yuanguang is still not enough, and if he does not relay, then Su Zheng is also willing to let the Rothschild group continue to exist.

Suddenly, Su Zheng thought of the identity of the Rothschild family on the earth, and slapped his thigh.

"Shhhh I said, why is Rothschild so familiar... Hahaha!

" Just when Su Zheng was distracted, Li Zhen's voice sounded:

"Your Highness, I want to ask for a leave.... Just one day!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" "

Once this battle starts, I don't know when it will end, and then it's only going to get farther and farther away from here... I want to go to Lingfeng City..."

Hearing this, Su Zheng squinted at Li Zhen with interest and smiled:

"Oh.... I understand... Haha, you go back to the barracks first

!" "Ah?"

Seeing this, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and wanted to speak, but Su Zheng raised his hand and said solemnly:

"This is an order! Go back immediately

!" "Yes!"

Li Zhen had no choice but to bow his head in frustration and turn around and leave.
