Douluo see you soon
Chapter 502 A super-sized fleet
The words were divided into two parts, each expressing one branch. While Luo Gang was subduing his younger brother, on the west coast of Douluo Continent and at the mouth of Caohe River, fishermen drove the electric fishing boats they bought from Tulip back from the shallow sea.
The net fishing was extremely efficient, and these fishermen were among the few who lived a better life after Tulip left. However, when they looked back at the sea, they suddenly showed horrified expressions.
At the skyline, a dense fleet of ships covered the sea, and the dark metal giant ships made a deafening roar. There were at least 500 giant ships with a length of more than 100 meters. If fully loaded, they could transport at least 500,000 troops.
This is not the most shocking thing. Following the fleet is a group of airships like Kirov airships. The airships are wearing dragon scale exoskeletons. They are not as crispy as the Zeppelin airships in history.
Airships the size of battleships are densely arranged in the sky. If you have trypophobia, you will probably faint when you see this scene.
No one knows where such a large army came from? Even Tulip has never organized such a huge army. The Tulip army, which has always won by quality, can at worst be able to fight against an opponent ten times its size. Very few
Such a large army will be formed.
An army of more than 500,000 people is not something that any country can produce. Especially after this tragic disaster, volcanic ash caused a reduction in food production during the Ice Age, temperatures dropped, and winters became extremely cold. It became increasingly difficult to survive.
The more difficult it is.
There may be many people who can survive the acid rain and volcanic ash, but not many can survive the famine and plague in the remaining years. After such a disaster, even the empire will hardly have much national strength left.
It is impossible for Tiandou Empire, the most powerful empire among Douluo, to raise an army of one million. It is not possible to raise an army of one million with a population of one million.
Even a voluntary soldier is impossible. Although Douluo Continent has carried out a bourgeois revolution, it is not complete, and the industrial revolution has only just begun. The equipment that looks like science fiction is actually the legacy of Tulip.
When food production is still dominated by homesteaders, it is very difficult for soldiers who want to get out of production. Regardless of the cost of daily necessities and other things, with the low efficiency of traditional farming methods, ten people can feed one soldier.
It's already pretty good.
The people who left the land cannot all be soldiers. Some of them are soul masters. Some are officials and nobles, and some are craftsmen and businessmen. Overall, if you can get one soldier out of 20 people, it is already pretty good.
Relying on black technology, this number may be much more optimistic than 1/20, but half a million soldiers almost means that at least five million people must be supported. This number is extremely high even for a huge empire.
It's heavy.
This is just for food. Taking into account the ordnance, the warships in the sea, and the airships in the sky, the manpower and material resources consumed to produce them are even more astronomical.
With the knowledge of these people who make a living by fishing on the beach, they really can't understand where these troops came from. All they can do is to flee in all directions and drive fishing boats to as many ports as possible near the mouth of the Cao River.
Those excellent ports must be occupied by these warships. An empire that only focuses on land has almost no navy. These warships can drive straight in. Ordinary fishermen have no intention of risking their lives to protect their homeland.
Among the invading warships, the one at the front was 1,300 meters long, which had almost reached the limit of warships. It was not that larger warships could not be built, but it was almost impractical.
Yes, the resistance of sea water will make the speed and agility of that kind of warship extremely poor.
This 1,300-meter-long ship cannot even dock at the best deep-water port. It is also impossible for such a ship to drive into it.
On the bow of the ship, nearly thirty meters above the water, a middle-aged man in a blue uniform stood there, his eyes staring at the moon that caused the tide.
"I guess you are part of this rising tide!" The man seemed to be saying to himself: "Everyone has left, saying they want to follow some real tulips.
I also understand you. We have all been through hardships and hardships. Everyone knows that tulips bloom wherever the Duke is. But you! What do you think of the former people!"
When the man said this, he seemed to be a little excited. His fingers were clasped on the wooden fence, denting the fence. Sawdust pricked his hand, and blood flowed, but it did not heal immediately.
As a former senior executive of Tulip, it was very unusual for him not to be injected with nanomachines. Generally, such people would be considered to have ideological problems, and it was almost impossible for people with ideological problems to be promoted to senior positions.
But he was different. His name was Montoya, and he was one of the first people to join Tulip, second only to the direct troops who sailed around the world with Cheng Ying. Later, due to his outstanding management skills, he was promoted step by step, from the logistics officer of the navigation support force.
, step by step to become the governor of an overseas province.
In the end, under the recommendation of historical witness Chen Xi and a group of colleagues, he served as the highest governor of the American continent. During his tenure, he did his best to mediate the conflicts between the indigenous people and the Tulip immigrants.
I have done things like throwing stones in the crowd.
It can be said that the indigenous people of the New World were manipulated into the palm of their hands, so that they had to accept education, and then went to work in factories. During the period of power, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a political leader.
If he had been given another ten years, the local aborigines might have been able to smoothly integrate into Tulip, a very inclusive group. Even because of the same skin color, troublesome issues such as racial discrimination would not have arisen.
But time waited for no one, and before he could make any political achievements, the volcano erupted, and a global disaster swept the land. Although the New World was relatively far away from the two volcanoes, it still suffered heavy losses.
There were two ways out before him. The first was to leave with the Duke and abandon these indigenous people. The Tulip immigrants were all sent away by heavy transport planes, and what was left here was just an empty shell.
Second, choose to stay and fend for yourself with the indigenous people here. Without Tulip immigration and military suppression, the polished commander who stays here will have to face the anger of the indigenous people. Even a fool knows how to choose.
Can……
But Montoya stayed. He had promised that the indigenous people would get the citizenship of Tulip, and he had declared that he would treat them equally. Now he was asked to leave these people alone and fly away alone... He... did
Less than...
