Release that Witch

Chapter 585: Departure day

Three days later, the 1,500 soldiers who carried out the tooth extraction operation boarded the ship and headed for the first target of looting: Chishui City.

At the same time, in accordance with the guidelines set at the strategic meeting, other First Army soldiers also continually escorted ammunition and food to the north, they will follow the inland water network, through the Chishui River, Wangdu Canal and three Bay River, finally arrived in Glentown.

In order to cope with such a large-scale marching deployment, in addition to the opener ships without winter city all invested in the mission, Roland also rented 30 sailboats to the Margaret Chamber of Commerce to transport war materials.

In this way, he can deliver 3,000 soldiers and corresponding artillery ammunition to the north within one month, that is, before the arrival of July. In the later generations, the scale of transshipment of thousands of people is likely to be completed by three or four inland river passenger liners, but in this era, it is an incredible initiative.

When the tooth extraction operation gets enough stone of the gods, the leading troops will also go to the north, and finally the valley town will gather 4,500 people to force the church to open in the cold wind ridge.

Of course, the emergency plan is not without. In one case, the church is dispatched extraordinarily quickly. For example, let a small part of the gods punished without a logistical light assault, along the desolate mountains all the way south, to the winter city. Another situation is that the enemy does not give up the holy city, and enters the kingdom from the junction of the morning light and the gray fort.

The 500 people who stayed in the winter city were defended against the former. The defending city warfare always had certain advantages, especially with the support of the 152mm fortress. The latter is a double loser, the first army has to turn into a war of attrition, the church will lose the holy city of Hermes, the faith and status are severely frustrated, and the gray castle will also lose a large population.

Fortunately, the probability of occurrence in the second case is very small. The church has no roots in the city, and the lost population of the gray castle can still have a chance to revive. The pope will not adopt this suicide method if he is not mad.

With the departure of the first fleet, there was also Northland Pearl Isis Kant.

"Please rest assured, I will write to my father, let him take out half of the grain in the north for the soldiers to use, and the lords of Glen Valley will fully cooperate with all the requirements of the First Army."

"You don't go back to the North?" Roland asked.

"I want to follow the first army to participate in all the next battles," said Isis, standing on the side of the ship, raising her hand and raising her long hair, then holding the chest and saluting. "My brother will ask you."

"I will take care of him."

"Thank you, sir, then, I will wait for you in the Valley of the Real War."

After the ship left, the voice of disappointment in the night was remembered in Roland's ear. "Oh, it is a war of life and death, but she said that she would date her lover."

"Cough... Is there?"

"You can't see it? The action of raising your hair... Now it's not windy, it's just like this." The nightingale said coldly, "Of course, it is not excluded that she has long been used to making this gesture to men. It is already an instinct. It is."

"Are you still worried about the letter?" Roland shook his head in a dumbfounding voice. "It’s impossible to say it. Right, is she reliable?"

The nightingale reluctantly replied, "There is basically no problem, at least when expressing loyalty and talking about those combat plans, all the truth is said."

"This is enough," Roland said. "Let's go back to the castle."

During this period of time, no winter city faced the pressure brought by the war, but the good news also has many projects planned for the demon month, and the infrastructure construction has ushered in the stage of the blowout.

The most important thing is that the West has finally won its own estuary.

After receiving this news, Roland informed the Ministry of Construction as soon as possible, and soon there will be a number of houses, warehouses and temporary terminals on the shoal. With a natural deep-water port as the foundation, larger ships can 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, Route 67, has also started. It starts from the Chishui River Bridge and connects the factory area with the southern shoal. The construction team is the original team of Kingdom Road. Roland also fulfilled his promise, and nearly half of the outstanding workers received formal resident status without Winter City and issued an identity card.

In addition, the first coke oven in Beiposhan was put into production.

Accurately speaking, it could have started running earlier, but it has been paralyzed during the trial period. For example, when the first furnace was opened, the air in the furnace was not emptied, so that the coal used for retorting burned directly; for example, the temperature and time were not in place. Causes coking to fail. Later, there was a serious accident in which the exhaust pipe was blocked by the smoke and the flame suddenly broke out of the furnace when the coke was out. Fortunately, with the help of Axia's replay ability, 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 added an important weight to the war was finally successfully tested.

Despite the limited volume of the full-scale projectile, the warhead has a limited charge, but it can still deal a fatal blow to enemies within a radius of ten meters. After adding a fragment, the distance can be doubled.

It is conceivable that if a few 152mm guns with a range of nearly ten kilometers are put on the battlefield, they can cross the pre-set positions and directly attack the rear of the enemy. People in this era have never experienced the horror of the king of war, the shockwaves and fragments of the howitzer. The killing of a cluster of enemies without any cover is absolutely devastating.

Regrettably, such a heavy thing can only be transported by hummingbirds. In the absence of a hard road, only two doors can be deployed at a time.

Even so, Roland is not willing to give up such a powerful firepower.

In contrast, the news of the successful operation of the steam turbine's principle model is less important.

After all, whether it is a new type of steam ship or thermal power generation, there is not enough manpower to research and develop. In a sense, from the moment of receiving the intelligence of the morning kingdom, no winter city has entered the wartime system, all plans must give way to war, and Anna is no exception.

Today, her daily work is to process shells and fuzes in the morning and to cut key parts needed for heavy machine guns in the afternoon.

The arsenal is a three-shift production bullet and a revolver rifle. Thanks to the mystery moon and the candlelight, all kinds of machine tools can run at full capacity without major problems.

Shortly after returning to the office, the flight messenger sent a secret letter from the fjord.

This is... Tilly gave a reply?

Roland quickly untied the note and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. After meditation for a while, he asked the nightingale to find the wheat.

"Take Sylvie, go after the fleet that started, and let Iphi do what the letter says."

"Hey!" (To be continued. Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-02-1405:05:41
