In central Yingzhou, Zhao State is also holding a court meeting.

Today, Zhao State looks very strong, with as many as thousands of officials in the court. This is far from comparable to that of the Shang Dynasty.

The Emperor of Zhao slowly glanced around and finally looked at the new Zhongshu Ling Fang Jingtang: "Fang Jingtang, are all the information you asked you to sort out yesterday? "

"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Fang Jingtang took out a thick copy of information.

"Say!" The Emperor of Zhao's tone was very cold and arrogant.

"Yes!" Fang Jingtang had become accustomed to it, opened the information and started reading:

"As of last night, the land area of ​​Zhao State had reached 20,000 kilometers. Among them, it mainly extends to the north, east and northeast. The superficial peace has been maintained between the south and the Wei State for the time being.

Now we have two major artery railways. The east-west direction continues the major artery of the Shang Dynasty.

The north-south direction is the main artery we built alone. The two main arteries greatly strengthened domestic exchanges and communication, dispatch of troops, material transportation, etc.

There are four major highways in the country, which lead from the imperial capital to the surrounding area. There are two ring roads.

The total length of the main highway is about 300,000 kilometers.

Today, the country owns a locomotive number of as many as 43,000, including 20,000 large transport vehicles, 8,000 medium-sized transport vehicles, and 15,000 military armored vehicles and artillery vehicles.

These locomotives are in good condition at present.

There are about 20,000 worn and scrapped locomotives. I believe that if someone is sent to select and repair them, about 8,000 locomotives may be restored.

Currently, the total number of troops in the country is 40 million. Among them, there are only three million troops and 12 million regular troops. The rest are refugee corps.

At present, our elite legion has been equipped with guns and is equipped with artillery, locomotives, etc.

There are only one million regular troops equipped with guns; the rest retain traditional equipment.

What affects the loading of guns nowadays is the problem of bullet production. Four million guns consume billions of bullets a day, and our bullet production line is approaching its limit.

In addition, the Air Force has been established and there are 30 supersonic aircraft, all of which are imported from the Shang Dynasty.

There are 4,000 propeller aircraft, and all the core components are purchased from Shang Dynasty.”

After reporting these in one breath, Fang Jingtang paused for a moment and continued: "There are also domestic economy, food, etc.

At present, the grain we have reserved in the past few years is still quite considerable.

The four major granaries in China have reserved a total of 72 million stones of grain, which is enough to support the needs of 150 million people in a year.

There are twelve grain production areas in China, which can be solved in a short time with the help of spells and liquid spiritual energy. The food crisis is consumed a little more liquid spiritual energy. Now half of the liquid spiritual energy in the country is used for grain production, which puts great pressure on the military.

At present, my country has a population of about 150 million. Although the occupied areas are large, they are starved to death and a large number of them die in battle. Outside the local area of ​​Zhao, seven out of ten people are gone.”

"There is also industry. At present, we have completed the complete set of basic industrialization. Smelting, oil refining, and the production of ordinary guns and cannons has been completely self-sufficient. Such ordinary guns and cannons can threaten those below the foundation-building stage; concentrated use can threaten the Jindan stage.

In terms of locomotives, the processing of core components can only be imported from Shang Dynasty; but the rest can already be self-sufficient.

The application of steel in national defense is becoming increasingly important. Last month, the steel production reached 3.2 million tons, fully meeting the needs of national defense. Next month's steel production is expected to exceed 3.5 million tons.

In addition, the primary black iron refining device has also been successfully tested. The laboratory has extracted steel containing 8% black iron. Large-scale production can stabilize the content of black iron at 5% level and meet the primary black iron standard of Shang Dynasty.

Metal materials containing 5% black iron can already be used to refine low-level magic weapons on a large scale for ordinary soldiers to use. By then, the combat effectiveness of soldiers will be increased by more than several times.

In addition, this will also solve the wire problem. The wire problem has always been an important bottleneck restricting our development. The solution to the wire problem allows us to get rid of the first control of the Shang Dynasty.

But we still need to import high-end wires and ultra-thin wires from Shang Dynasty.

However, there are information that the Shang Dynasty seems to be preparing to change all soldiers and set up low-level magic weapon suits. So we still need to work hard.

Reporting is completed.”

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao was speechless for a long time. After developing industry, he realized how powerful the Shang Dynasty was. He had just obtained 8% of the material containing black iron from the laboratory, and the Shang Dynasty had already started to sell black iron on a large scale.

In fact, the fact that Zhao State can now produce black iron materials is also thanks to the technical output of the Shang Dynasty.

To be honest, Emperor Zhao was very uneasy in the face of the technical output of the supermarket - this Shang Dynasty is not a fool, why did he export technology to the outside world? If it were himself, he would definitely hide it. But the Shang Dynasty did not. A long time ago, the Shang Dynasty sold technology everywhere.

At present, after Xia Qingqing took power, the Shang Dynasty still did not stop selling technology.

Emperor Zhao was 100% sure that there was some ulterior motive behind the sale of technology in the Shang Dynasty. But unfortunately, no one knows what the Shang Dynasty is doing so far.

After thinking silently for a while, the Emperor of Zhao asked, "How is other countries compared to us?"

"Qingyun Kingdom has almost 60% of our strength. But because the Lingyun faction of Qingyun Kingdom joined the Shang Dynasty, Qingyun Kingdom obtained a lot of good technology from the Shang Dynasty. We still have no way to know what these technologies are.

Wei State has 80% of our strength. Moreover, because Wei State is in the cracks, they are more cautious in expanding externally, and instead develop elite military strategies on a large scale. Once we fight with Wei State, be careful.

The East and West Chu countries are similar, with almost 90% of our strength.

The Red Building of the Eastern Chu State, the Jidaozong of the Western Chu State and the Shang Dynasty have good relationships. Especially the Yue Girl Sword in the Red Building, which actually represented the Shang Dynasty mercenary group to go on an envoy to Dongsheng Shenzhou, so the Eastern Chu State is likely to gain some benefits from the Shang Dynasty.

However, some people from the Jidao Sect of the Western Chu State joined the Shang Dynasty and also gained some benefits that we did not know.

One thing is more certain. I suspect that these countries have refined primary black iron materials with the support of the Shang Dynasty!

All of this makes central Yingzhou full of strong crises. Once the crisis breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.

There is also our West, across the Lingxiao Mountains, "Guo Kingdom", it is said that we have established connections with Ning Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, which are more western, and we have also obtained technology from there.

Oh, Ning Guo and Liang Guo’s skills come from Zhang Quan, Xiang Bowen.

Ningguo's technology is probably the same as Yueguo, and it already has its own supersonic engine technology.

We are now in contact with Yueguo and Ningguo to see if we can get supersonic engine technology from them, or even complete supersonic aircraft technology.”

The Emperor of Zhao pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "How is the Taiyi Kingdom in the north and around the Shouchun Forest?"

"The Shang Dynasty has suffered serious infiltration in Taiyi in the north and around Shouchun Forest. The Shang Dynasty's Jiuchongtian Group has already taken root there. It is said that the Taiyi Kingdom is negotiating with the Jiuchongtian Group and wants to buy some key technologies from the Jiuchongtian Group."

Emperor Zhao frowned: "Will the Shang Dynasty allow Jiuchongtian Group to sell technology?"

Fang Jingtang's tone became quiet: "Your Majesty, things are very troublesome. Because all the big merchants in the Shang Dynasty will consciously consider the interests of the Shang Dynasty when making decisions. So...

So, I think behind this Jiuchongtian Group, there is a very likely instruction from the Shang Dynasty country!”

The Emperor of Zhao immediately narrowed his eyes, but soon agreed with Fang Jingtang's inference.

After Li Xian was assassinated, the Shang Dynasty showed unthinkable unity, which was one of the reasons why the countries were worried about the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty was too worry-free. You, Li Xian, would better be in a coma forever.

The Zhao Kingdom began to discuss the discussions, discussing industry and commerce, discussing military and expansion, discussing people's livelihood and food, etc. Of course, discussions are indispensable for the alliance with various countries, technology introduction, etc.

Time came little by little during the discussion. At this time, the Shang Dynasty had already begun to disclose new strategies from the Internet and broadcast, and the Shang Dynasty officially began to move towards the world of finance.

Zhao State also began to send envoys to the west, preparing to go to Ning State to see if they could obtain supersonic technology, etc.

At the same time, other countries are also discussing that the situation in central Yingzhou is getting worse and worse. Countries in the cracks between major powers are already taking measures.

Either they defect to big countries or they start alliances within these countries.

For example, between Zhao State and Qingyun State, several countries formed a national alliance to jointly resist external pressure and seek opportunities to survive.

Under this huge pressure, and Yingzhou was influenced by the Shang Dynasty's ideological liberation movement and industrial and commercial ideas, a new national organization called the "Federal State" began to appear. To be precise, it should be called the "Federal State"

Among them, the more representative ones should be:

The alliance of various countries of Shouchunlin - Shouchun Kingdom, said to be a country, is actually a loose alliance.

The alliance formed between the three kingdoms of Taiyi, Shang Dynasty and Qingyun Kingdom - Yuanshan Alliance. It is named after the location of the alliance meetings of each country is Yuanshan.

Also, the Yuanshan Alliance is actually a righteous alliance, and the struggle of the righteous sect in this troubled times... Ah, not a struggle. According to the righteous sect, this is an opportunity for the righteous sect to rise. Many righteous sects have supported this.

At the southwest end of the Lingxiao Mountains, there is also an alliance led by the Demonic Way - the Nanshan Alliance.

Of course, there are three evil countries in Jishishan, as well as the "Jishishan Alliance" composed of surrounding countries.

The emergence of these four alliance countries can be said to have completely laid the overall political structure of Yingzhou. The other small countries have gradually lost the qualification to survive in this era.

Industry and commerce are developing faster and faster, and the world is getting smaller and smaller.

Nowadays, flights have begun to travel around Yingzhou. From the Shang Dynasty to Zhao State, and then transfer to the plane, you can fly directly to Ningguo in the western part of Yingzhou, or Zhuya State in the southern section.

It was also from this time that the countries within Yingzhou were no longer independent individuals. The political changes in each country would affect the rest of the countries.

Also, due to technical issues, countries have begun to communicate consciously, wanting to break the Shang Dynasty's technological monopoly, etc. All of this has made the situation in Yingzhou even more unpredictable.

At this time, in Ningyuan, Zhang Quan was preparing to test a brand new supersonic aircraft. Last time, Zhang Quan had mastered the jet engine technology of supersonic aircraft, but the aircraft itself still had many technical defects. The supersonic aircraft that Zhang Quan wanted was the kind that could reach more than three times the speed of sound.

The environment of the fairyland is destined to have supersonic aircraft reaching more than three times the speed of sound to be of great use. The best supersonic aircraft in the Shang Dynasty now exceeds seven times the speed of sound.

Therefore, Zhang Quan felt very stressed and the crisis was also very great.

When the Shang Dynasty fleet suddenly appeared on the coast of Ningguo, it shocked Zhang Quan very much, and the shock still exists today.

That shock is the shock of industry, the national strength and war potential. The visual impact of giant ships and cannons is incomparable to any war machine.

In addition, there is another thing that Zhang Quan is concerned about, that is, the sea in the west of Yingzhou can be said to be the inland sea of ​​the human race, and there are no demon sea tribes here. Therefore, the sea here becomes an ideal naval battle location! Zhang Quan dares to use his head to ensure that large-scale naval battles will inevitably break out in the west of Yingzhou in the future!

If the sea in the east of Yingzhou is controlled by the Dragon Palace and becomes the free ocean of the Shang Dynasty; then the sea in the west of Yingzhou belongs to the entire human race, and everyone is qualified to gallop here. Therefore, giant ships and cannons cannot be ignored.

But giant ships and cannons are important, but supersonic aircraft is even more important. Zhang Quan saw that there were supersonic aircraft on the warships of the Shang Dynasty. Why did such an arrangement be there? Zhang Quan vaguely understood, but he was not very clear. But it doesn’t matter. Follow me, I’m sure there is nothing wrong!

Therefore, Zhang Quan is currently paying special attention to supersonic aircraft.

The countdown ended little by little, and Zhang Quanqian placed a total of three brand new press testers.

Ning Xiaolan stood beside Zhang Quan; but at this time Ning Xiaolan wore a yellow dress. Yellow was the color that only the emperor and the prince allowed to wear. Ning Xiaolan dressed like this, and the meaning of this was self-evident. Ning Xiaolan is now competing with the prince and has gained a great advantage.

And the fact that such an advantage is ultimately because of Zhang Quan.

Although Ning Xiaolan once wanted Zhang Quan to be a "saint", after Zhang Quan's planning, Ning Xiaolan is now inseparable from Zhang Quan.

At the end of the countdown, amid a roar, three planes of different shapes rose into the air. Then one plane suddenly deflected and flew around for a while, hitting the runway. Someone immediately went to search and rescue him.

"Is it the so-called forward sweep wing aircraft?" Ning Xiaolan asked.

Zhang Quan nodded and thoughtfully: "Many aircraft in the Shang Dynasty now have forward sweep wings, and even the most advanced aerospace aircraft carriers have forward sweep wings. This shows that forward sweep wings are a more excellent technology.

So, no matter how difficult it is, we must master this technique!”
