After checking, Li Wei spent thirty points of glory without hesitation to exchange for the training template of the Guards Cavalry.

After the government came to power, almost all the established cavalry units were dissolved, leaving a large number of war horses, which Li Wei happened to accept to train the guards cavalry.

As one of the European powers, how could France not have a powerful cavalry division?

After selecting the cavalry troop, Li Wei continued to pull down, and then he was surprised to find that there was no artillery troop!

In other words, the upgraded comprehensive war system is the same as before, and the artillery is not trained...

It is not that it is impossible to train at all. Artillery that serves as part-time guard infantry can also be used, but there are no professional artillery soldiers who can fight accurately. However, when the guard infantry soldiers were fighting, due to Carl's command, they are now obsessed with the way of fighting the "bayonet" of "cannons".

It is rarely bombarded from a long distance, and even long distance bombardment is used to clear roadblocks of fortifications, rather than to kill enemies.

Guard infantry all like to use artillery to shoot the enemy at close range, and even simply use the shotgun directly and push it under the enemy's nose to spray!

It is this tactic that greatly reduces the death rate of the Guards infantry in the battle where they win with fewer and more (for system soldiers who are unwilling to become cumbersome to Lord Li Wei, they will not allow themselves to become seriously injured, so after each battle, the Guards infantry only have minor wounded and dead, which is why the Black Dragon Legion only calculates the number of casualties and does not count the number of injured).

Of course, Li Wei was not unable to make up for this weakness. He could train local French artillery and let them take over the artillery position of the Black Dragon Legion.

Although these local artillery soldiers are not as afraid of death as system soldiers, artillery positions are originally relatively backward, and the mortars with short range and poor accuracy are all subject to gunner tasks by the guard infantry.

A real professional artillery only needs to calibrate the enemy at the artillery position in the rear.

When the Black Dragon Legion needs to bayonets on cannons, these professional artillery can hand over the cannons to guard infantry for use. For close-range targets, guard infantry is still relatively accurate, not to mention when the cannons are bayonets, field artillery often uses shotguns to fire.

Does a large-face shotgun still require accurate accuracy proofing?

Therefore, Li Wei had no artillery options and was not much disappointed with the Total War system.

Li Wei speculated that it should be because the artillery of this era was too backward, so it was impossible to produce professional artillery troops in the full war system.

This is true. For smoothbore cannons, even an ordinary farmer can shoot the shells out after a simple training, but they are not accurate.

However, the accuracy of the front-mounted smoothbore gun of this era is very touching. Even professional gunners bombarded from a long distance, it is difficult to hit designated targets many times.

The purpose of field artillery firing solid bombs is to attack the enemy's morale and destroy various fortifications and city walls.

If it weren't for the low lethality of field artillery firing solid bombs, the European troops in the era of queuing and shooting would not have all bravely stepped forward against the artillery!

However, the cruelty of solid iron balls is far greater than that of muskets and bayonets to kill enemies, so the shocking effect is still very good, especially for those miscellaneous troops, the miserable corpses killed by shells often scare many new recruits.

After browsing the exchange interface of the Army Training Army template again, Li Wei looked at his few glory value reserves and controlled his desire to make big purchases.

As a poor man, let’s make some simple and exquisite troops. A large army with multiple troops is not suitable for poor people to play...

Although Li Wei’s glory value reserves are far more than before, there are more places that spend glory value. Upgrading the system’s functional buildings is a big deal!

Afterwards, Li Wei opened the Navy Army training and exchange interface.

In the Navy's arms training interface, there is no specific information about the army like the army, but the names of various rivers, ocean warships and gunboats are used.

The worst battleships are the small gunboats that can only sail in rivers and lakes, and the largest one is the sea fortress known as the first-class battleships according to the standards of sail battleships listed by the Royal Navy.

"The French Navy's shipbuilding technology is good. Although the number of warships is incomparable to the Royal Navy, its shipbuilding level is already ranked first in the world, and it is no different from the British.

Well, the French Navy is not as good as the British, probably because of the different financial issues and military spending focus.

After all, France is a land-powered country and it is impossible for the British to allocate most of the military budget to the navy.

Even so, France can become the second navy in the world. Even if it is not much different from Spain, the third largest, it is enough to prove how powerful France before Louis XVI was!

These are the old foundation left in the era of Louis XIV the Sun King.”

Li Wei looked at the various types of warships in the Navy's arms training template, and had a new understanding of France's shipbuilding technology.

However, Li Wei did not mean to spend any money on the honor value to be redeemed.

There are two reasons.

The first and most important one - the capital letter "poor"!

The second reason is that Li Wei is very clear about the development direction of the naval warships in the future, and he is unwilling to let the French Navy be the second European leader.

Li Wei knew very well that even if he managed France, it would not be possible to surpass the Royal Navy in terms of naval size. This is a competition of financial resources. For Britain and France, it is a game of spending money and has no technical content...

Obviously, the speed of a European land power spending money with a European sea power power to lay dumplings in a sail warship is purely because of a pitfall in mind...

However, the number and quality advantages of the British Navy now occupy are all sail battleships!

If the Steam Iron Craft is born, all the British sail battleships will be eliminated overnight!

Oh, it is not completely eliminated. It is still okay to bully backward Asian countries and America. African natives are still fine.

However, Britain's maritime rights in Europe will be seriously threatened!

Even Li Wei, the navy's illiterate, knew the huge advantages of the steam ironclad ship over the sail warships!

The biggest advantage is that the steam iron armor can easily destroy sail warships, but the sail warship is almost impossible to sink the steam iron armor!

The steam iron armored ship is not the turtle shell ship from the Goryeo Rod. It is a layer of iron that is used to call itself an iron armored ship...

The steam ironclad ship is a real steel cast, and it is not an iron sheet outside, but a solid iron shell!

Relying on the sailing warship, Li Wei knew that France never had the hope of tying the British Royal Navy. If he wanted to make up for the disadvantage of maritime power, he could only take the technological route and explode the steam iron armored ship first!

As long as the steam ironclad ship appears, the naval competition between France and the British will be forced to be pulled to the same starting line.

Of course, there is no way for steam ironclads to rely on a comprehensive war system. The comprehensive war system can only brainwash and train, and it is hard to climb the technology tree!

Therefore, the steam ironclad ship still needs to rely on the wisdom of the French people. Li Wei feels that it is necessary to establish an official university of science and technology to cultivate enough scientific and technological talents.

Thinking of scientific and technological talents, Li Wei immediately opened up the functional building template of the total war system.

After the system was upgraded, there were a few more functional buildings in the capital of Paris.

And all foundation buildings can be attached for free!

Of course, not all real buildings can be attached with system building functions. They must be of the same type of buildings, and they cannot be abandoned!

For example, the newly emerging system building function in the capital of Paris - the Academy.

You can tell from the name of the college that it is a place to train scholars. Li Wei must at least choose well-known educational institutions in the city of Paris or the surrounding areas of Paris.

Ordinary schools cannot be attached to the functions of the college system.

The function of the college is to brainwash scholars in the college. Scholars of this era have a very famous name in later generations - scientists or researchers!

The college’s brainwashing limit is the same as other basic buildings, with 1,000 people!

After being promoted to a classical university, the upper limit will be 10,000 people if it is increased to a top modern university, it will be 100,000 people if it is promoted to a top modern university!

It’s a pity that a national capital can only attach an academy to a caliber city...

After lighting up the school's system building function for free, Li Wei's eyes were aimed at another newly added system building - the Bank Building.

The bank building is actually a bank. The state-controlled bank originally located in Paris was given the system functions of the bank building by Li Wei.

As expected, with the nature of the total war system, the system function of the bank building is not as constantly popping up gold and silver as Li Wei expected, but brainwashing the relevant personnel of the bank building.

However, the brainwashing method of this bank building is different from the previous system functions.

The brainwashing of the bank building is divided into three levels.

The first level is the staff in the bank building and the major shareholders with a certain share ratio (that is, the rich people who are qualified to enter the shareholders' meeting resolution). The brainwashing of such people is equivalent to the effect of administrative enlightenment.

The major shareholder must be a wealthy country, that is, the major shareholders who can be brainwashed in bank buildings in different capitals have nationality restrictions.

If Levi occupied Berlin, Levi could brainwash this type of brainwashing the wealthy, the major shareholder of the Prussian bank building.

And as long as the staff of the bank building does not resign and the major shareholders who participate in the stake do not resell all their shares, the brainwashing effect will never fade.

The most important thing is that there is no cap on this brainwashing effect!

The only restrictions are the shareholding ratio and whether to work in a bank building.

You must be in an effective job in a bank building. If you want to take advantage of loopholes to create a bloated job, you cannot enjoy the effect of administrative enlightenment and brainwashing...

However, the second level of brainwashing effect is set for external effective staff of the bank.

People who do not work in the bank building will be affected by this brainwashing effect. The second-level brainwashing no longer makes these people absolutely loyal to Li Wei, but will make these people naturally respect Li Wei!

They may not crazily ‘like’ any behavior of Levi, but they will never betray Levi easily.

Of course, the easy betrayal here is just a leverage. If the extra money is added to the level that the other party cannot resist, there is still a chance of betraying Li Wei.

Therefore, the brainwashing effect at this level is far less than that at the first level, and the advantage is that there is no restriction on having to work in a bank building.

As for the expatriate personnel, as a national bank, it can open branches throughout all the municipalities and towns in France!

As long as it is an effective job, it can be considered an expatriate.

If Li Wei has enough funds, he can even open the branch to the countryside to increase the positions of extradition staff...

By the same token, this expatriate job cannot take advantage of loopholes and use meaningless bloated institutions to defraud brainwashing quotas.

The comprehensive war system is still relatively rigorous in this regard, or the brainwashing effect of the comprehensive war system has a fixed scope and cannot spread without limitation.

The third level of limitation is the lowest, but the brainwashing effect is also the weakest.

The third level brainwashing scope of the bank building is bank depositors and ordinary shareholders. The brainwashing effect is to inspire their patriotism and loyalty to the emperor, among which patriotism is the majority, so loyalty to the emperor is naturally loyal to Li Wei.

However, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor ranks second, that is, those who deposit and shareholding in the national bank opened in the bank building will put the country first and Li Wei second.

However, the limitations of this category are so weak that there is too much room for operation.
