Chapter 446 Railway

The interests of Tan Xiaopei and others were suddenly raised. In the past, the Dongping army was fighting, especially in the most difficult times, all the troops could be used were on the front line of combat, so where were there any luxury troops like baggage soldiers? Sometimes even the civilians who had just been recruited were directly put into battle, so why did they mention baggage soldiers with professional training with special equipment and operation systems? Even before the Blood Qi Army, the Dongping army, which was known as the strongest on the mainland, was extremely extensive in logistics management. This situation has been until Tan Weixin and

Ye Tao injected digital management into ordnance production, while Suo Zheng, a half-baked craftsman and marching chess master, subtly changed the supply method of the Blood Qi Army after getting familiar with the army's logistics system. He mainly established a baggage army system with auxiliary soldiers and retired veterans. Only then did Dongping really change in this regard. The army's logistics management is becoming more and more professional. Of course, this is also because the complexity of the ordnance and supplies of the Dongping army is also unparalleled in the world. Without a professional management team, he can't do this at all.

Through precise management, the important officials and generals of Dongping knew how large the army to maintain and how large the activities required the large-scale distribution volume. As the mobility of the Dongping army increased with the increase of cavalry, the cavalry training of infantry and the technological innovation of military conveying tools continued to improve, the process of raising supplies, transporting and front-line storage became more and more challenging. Now Suo Zheng is no longer fighting alone, but has to rely on an increasingly large logistics management team. Suo Zheng's power is not only in the Northern Xinjiang Administration, but also serves as the assistant of the Minister of War and Chi Xianping, to assist in the coordination of the production, transportation, storage and training and construction of military supplies in the whole country. At this stage, if a tool can solve the transportation of large amounts of materials from long distances can appear, the significance will undoubtedly be extremely huge.

It is not convenient for everyone to talk about it at the banquet. Fortunately, the Ye Family Workshop is not far away, and you can see the great invention that Ye Tao said at any time. After a few words, everyone tacitly changed the topic and talked about the various changes that would occur in Yunzhou and the entire northern border after the existence of Gondor. Even those who have seen the world have a refreshing feeling when they arrived in Gondor. Those rash men from the grassland regard Gondor as a paradise and a sanctuary, and regard electrical technology, sewers, pipelines and mail as miracles. In fact, in this time and space, only those important figures who are familiar with Ye Tao can understand the context of technological development, or, to the minimum, it has nothing to do with miracles.

Unlike Gondor's glorious ceremony, deducting everyone's wonderful remarks at the dinner table, the dinner was a bit unremarkable. If there were any highlights, it might be that Tan Xiaopei actually summoned Gaosen Banner, Dongping and Beiliao, Tan Xiaopei and Gaosen Banner. Obviously, there would be no such thing as a guest and host, but no dispute broke out. Even now, Tan Xiaopei is still a very graceful soldier. Dongping's relatively simple political atmosphere preserved his perseverance and courage. Although it would inevitably be mixed with some maturity, it was more conducive to ruling Dongping. The meeting between the two was nothing more than Tan Xiaopei's addition.

To express the solicitation and testing of the Western Route Army, what was unexpected was that Gaosenqi did not deny that Tan Xiaopei said that Dongping and Northern Liao would inevitably be a tragic war, and there would be a disaster in all respects. In any case, the final victory or defeat could not be reversed. After recognizing this, the Western Route Army of Northern Liao was still firmly determined to fight with Dongping. This courage and stubbornness were beyond everyone's imagination. However, the reason for Gaosenqi was also irrefutable. Dongping, as a military country and a country with a strong military atmosphere, would indeed not respect an opponent who surrendered without fighting bravely.

"We all have to be careful... It seems that it is not easy to deal with Bei Liao." After the simple talks with Gao Senqi, Tan Xiaopei said to Ye Tao with emotion.

"I never find it easy. Gao Senqi and I have always had a relationship. What is flowing in his blood vessels is probably iron juice. If he conquered Bei Liao and Gao Senqi is still alive, he can lead our army to fight against Chunnan and Xiling... Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ye Tao's suggestion made Tan Xiaopei, Zhuo Mang and others dizzy. However, in terms of qualifications, vision, command art, personality, etc., it is indeed what Ye Tao said. Guys like Gao Senqi are almost born to be generals who fight hard. In the entire Dongping and the younger generation, the only ones who can compare with them are probably Chi Yun. Although Ye Tao, Dai Yun, and Tan Weiran can lead the battle, it seems that they can be used on the battlefield.

Of course, this matter can be discussed again, and there is still time to consider this matter. Judging from Ye Tao's suggestion, Ye Tao's boldness in employed people is probably far beyond the imagination of others. They naturally cannot understand Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's extremes in this regard. In Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's opinion, although the army is a special structure, in some cases, it seems that nothing wrong with appointing a talented military chief and appointing a senior manager.

After the ceremony, the ministers who came to watch the ceremony returned to Danyang to continue to handle the heavy government affairs, but Tan Xiaopei stayed. He planned to stay in Yunzhou for about half a month. On the one hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to meet various important people, especially those on the northern grasslands, and he still needed to appease him. In addition, under the leadership of Ye Tao, he learned about the progress of the preparation of the war in Yunzhou. Since Ye Tao had already made plans, he must be quite sure and had a relatively sufficient preparation. However, even if it was like

Here, on the side of the vast test site outside the Ye Family Workshop, the five-mile experimental railway, as well as complete tweeks, loading and unloading, signal guidance equipment, and a platform and waiting room that looks a bit smelly. The train not only has a carriage suitable for transporting supplies and soldiers, but also has carriages divided into private rooms, dining cars and luxury special train cars installed. The craftsmen in the workshop are even making iron armored carriages loaded with iron cannons that can rotate and shoot, and a flight preparation carriage that can store a small airship that can take three people inside...

According to Ye Tao, it is really too exciting to build railway tracks, and it is almost impossible not to attract the attention of others. Therefore, he thought it would be better to make sufficient preparations in advance. The Ye Family Workshop now has garrisons and family members, as well as the rotational army that always undergoes dressing and training nearby, which is considered a small city. A large amount of material flows in and out, which determines that the Ye Family Workshop must have a station with sufficient throughput in the future. Ye Tao only advanced the construction to be carried out in the future. The current platform, waiting room, etc. will be about one-quarter of the entire Workshop train station in the future.

On the five-mile-long railway, the train had to slow down without even getting the speed. With about one-third of the power, the train's speed reached about sixty miles per hour... That is, what Ye Tao remembers was unbearable is the speed of fifteen kilometers per hour. However, since the train's front and cabin designs considered shock absorption and other effects, and even considered the optimization design to suppress noise from the beginning, the train was still very comfortable. This train, which was first created in time and space, actually had the comfort of the green-skinned car that Ye Tao remembered, but it was only comfort. Tan Xiaopei

Once again, people despised Ye Tao's lack of greed. In their opinion, if this railway could form a network, no matter how uncomfortable the speed of the operating troops would make everyone frightened. If there were two railways that ran through the entire Dongping in a cross shape from south to north, from east to west, it would mean that Dongping had the terrible ability to gather more than 300,000 regular troops in any direction within one month, or to mobilize any heavy army group to the battlefield within ten days. For a country, these railways would inevitably become the lifeline of the economy and become the country's steel-cast blood vessels...

"No matter how much you cost, you have to start building the railway for me. I don't care how much you spend. You give me a plan within one month. I ask, at most... three years, three years to build the domestic cross-shaped railway framework for me." Tan Xiaopei said fiercely: "How much does it cost? You speak."

Railways are not suitable for the Great Leap Forward. However, Ye Tao also knew Tan Xiaopei's temperament, and this king was very impulsive. Just a while ago, when he changed into a snow ox airship, Tan Xiaopei reported an order for 500 airships as soon as he opened his mouth, which was definitely an unsuccessful task. However, Ye Tao knew that this cross-shaped railway framework was absolutely necessary for Dongping. However, it was not for three years, but for ten years or even longer. Ye Tao would not explicitly persuade Tan Xiaopei. He shrugged and said, "Your Majesty... If you take out 80 million taels of silver, or equivalent, I will set up the cross-shaped railway framework you want in three years."

Tan Xiaopei was stunned. He thought that the railway would be very expensive, but he didn't expect it would be so expensive. Eighty million taels of silver... This is now a total fiscal revenue of Dongping, which is more than two years. Even if Tan Xiaopei is brave enough, he can sacrifice other expenses to strengthen the construction of the railway, which means he can squeeze out about 12 million taels of cash and formulate a related fiscal expenditure plan to ensure subsequent investment... But even if it is scattered for three years, Eighty million taels of silver is really an unbearable, or even unimaginable number.
