Under the attention of the thunderstorm, the Ao Ren's vision finally turned to the South Palm. As a secret master, he knew the most about the secret technique. When he saw the report coming, the thunderstorm realized that it was too late.

Before we knew it, the Nanzhang Shengong City had already formed a scale. According to the Air Force's report, Shengong City has two large and small places, with a population of nearly 400,000 and hundreds of docks. Airships and planes in the sky cover the sky and make it impossible for the Air Force airships to conduct detailed reconnaissance.

Shengong City has air superiority. As soon as the Ao people's airship approached, several were shot down. The rest of the people fled in all directions and tried to approach the reconnaissance several times, but they were blocked from the periphery and suffered heavy losses. A reconnaissance team composed of twenty airships could finally return to Wuyang Mansion, but only eight were allowed to return to Wuyang Mansion.

Naturally, they didn't know that there were three camps in Shengong City. There were also a scattered material base in the Death Mountains, where tens of thousands of people were working, and there were dozens of small camps, which supplied nearly one million kilograms of various ores and fuel in Shengong City every day.

In addition to the three places on the ground, at the foot of Shengong City, there is an underground world similar to the size of a desolate place but thousands of meters deep, with countless meat, fur, animal tendons and minerals there. Several underground rivers at the foot of Shengong City have been fully utilized. Without these, it would be difficult for the two Shengong City on the ground to ensure that the drinking water for 400,000 people.

These problems were quickly raised by thunderstorms. Four hundred thousand people are not a small number. With the current understanding of the surrounding environment of Shengong City, the basic survival requirements are simply not met. What's more, the blast furnace is standing there, and the number of reconnaissances at high altitudes is scary.

There are 129 dry docks, and more than a dozen are under construction. There are 69 docks put into use. Obviously, due to insufficient ship craftsmanship, Dachu was unable to use 129 docks at the same time, but they are still continuing to build them.

From this we can see that the relationship between Shengong City and Dachu is not so close, and the two sides are not coordinated enough, which leads to this kind of waste.

Even so, the number of docks is still shocking. The most important thing is that the docks seen by the Air Force are all made of ironclad ships and no wooden warships.

Think about the battle between the Divine Worker Navy and the Fourth Fleet, it hurts toothache!

In that naval battle, the warships used by the Shengong Navy, including the fat transport ships, only had more than 30. Now there are as many as 69 in the dock, twice as many as before.

If these iron armored cabins were launched, the Shengong Navy's iron armored ships would definitely exceed 100, which would be fatal. Lei Yue knew in his heart that the Ao people had the benefits of the navy before, otherwise how could they talk about landing and fighting?

When the Great Chu Navy had the power to control the sea, the Austrian Navy could only rely on luck. I hope that before landing, I would never be discovered by the Shengong Navy.

Of course, he had already received news that the raft island of the Ao people drifted to Hanzhang and Dali Islands, but he had never paid attention to it and did not want to send people to pick it up. The first fleet was not short of soldiers, but what was lacking was food supplies. Now these people had a problem with eating. If you take up dozens or millions of Ao people, you would starve to death without the Chu army.

Renault didn't know that his idea was different from that of the people in the Great Chu world. In his opinion, the fat man was a transport ship with a large load and a fast speed.

But in the eyes of Thunderstorm and Schlosshua, there is no need to distinguish between warships or transport ships. In their opinion, these are all ironclad ships.

Think about it, ships built with fine iron. As long as they are equipped with weapons, can't fat people be used to engage in naval battles? For the navy general, more loading not only means that they can load more goods. After transformation, they can directly install weapons and sailors. What kind of transport ships are all warships.

More than thirty ironclad ships sank half of the Fourth Fleet's ships, what if there were more than one hundred?

In addition to docks and ironclad ships, the blast furnace that thunderstorms care about the most is the blast furnace. Because the distance is too far, the inspection is not very clear. The number of blast furnaces that can be clearly determined has exceeded 600. Because it is too far, it is impossible to see how many craftsmen are working, and it is impossible to judge the specific output.

Even if the minimum output is calculated, the amount of pig iron smelted by 600 blast furnaces in a day is already an astronomical figure.

The Thunderstorm didn't know that the actual output was even more terrifying than he imagined. The Shengongcheng blast furnace is used to smelve fine iron, with only a very small part, which is used for secondary smelting and smelting alloys. The output is dozens of times more than the thunderstorm expected.

Without such a large output of fine iron, it is not enough to support the needs of Shengong City. Building iron armored ships is already incredible in the eyes of thunderstorms. It is not only the consumption of fine iron, but also the problem of secret techniques. How did the Chu people let the fine iron float on the sea?

In fact, for Shengong City, the one that consumes the most refined iron is not shipbuilding, but Shengong City itself, which constantly spreads pieces of refined iron plates on the ground day and night, pours them into flat ground, and continuously expands the scope of Shengong City. This is the big head that consumes the fine iron.

Of course, Renault was willing to use fine iron to build weapons and ships, but the number of craftsmen could not keep up. The only ones who could complete these tasks were the craftsmen in the Temple of Divine Works, which were slowly cultivated by Renault after several years.

But there were only a few hundred people, what was enough to do? With the Ministry of Works, a large number of craftsmen were transferred to the temple, and the craftsmen from the Temple of God turned into teachers, and each person had to bring several apprentices.

Fortunately, these are not pure little workers. They were originally craftsmen from the Ministry of Revenue. They could get started after taking them for a few months.

Even so, the number of craftsmen who have been continuously expanded has been far from enough. The four major items of smelting, shipbuilding, guns and ammunition require too many people. Even those small workers who have been studying for several months have been sent to Zhangtan, and there are often defective products, which is a helpless move.

"Lei Jun, please contact Wuyang Mansion and you must take down Shengong City. Even if it cannot be used by me, you cannot let them continue to develop." Lei Feng said firmly.

Lei Jun did not respond directly. He had read the reconnaissance report and naturally understood the impact of Shengong City on the battle situation. Think about Shengong Navy, the Shengong Army, and the Shengong Air Force airships and planes all over the sky. This is a difficult matter.

There is no advantage in land, sea, and air. It is even difficult to send troops to Nanzhang Shengong City. There are fewer people sent and not enough people to give away their heads. If you want to send more people, how can you send them there?

The Ao people learned the pedal planes from the Chu people. Although the quality is not bad, they are definitely not good at saying that they are better than the Chu people, and there is no advantage in quantity. The number of airships is smaller, and the Ao people are still equipped to serve as the main air force that the Chu people eliminated.

Don’t mention it on the ground, both places were suppressed tightly and could barely protect themselves.

As for the sea, the Ao people currently have a slight advantage, which depends on the number. Moreover, the fleet has returned long ago. Before the Fifth Fleet arrived, neither Chunjiang Prefecture nor Wuyang Prefecture had many naval forces. The total number of Clippers is only more than 100, and it is still enough to use it to convey messages. Let's forget about the naval battle, I'm afraid even the Southern Navy can't handle it.

In fact, if it weren't for the small number of ships of the Shengong Navy, the waters of Wuyang Mansion would have been blocked long ago.

When the thunderstorm and the Lei army were worried, we went to Jingluo City to celebrate the victory of the Great Chu coalition.

In fact, the ministers in Yangxin Hall did not look very good. The information sent back from Han Zhang became more and more serious. The total strength of the Dachu coalition forces by the Qifei River in Liaodong had reached 1.5 million.

After so long, a defense line of 380 miles has been built by the Qifei River, but this is not reassuring.

The troops of the Great Chu were mainly concentrated in the hands of the eight major legions. The next level was the soldiers of each prefecture. According to the military list of the Great Chu, the regular troops of the eight major legions were about 1.1 million, the 72nd battalion of the government, and about 500,000.

In other words, the nominal regular army of Da Chu has only more than 1.6 million people, which is quite large. After all, it is quite difficult to support a professional soldier these days.

Then, the two war zones in the east and south, not counting the soldiers who died in the civil war for one and a half years, but are currently besieging the Ao people, there are more than 1.5 million people.

The Yulin Army in Luocheng cannot move 200,000 elite troops. As Shangjing, the military forces guarding Luocheng must not only be transferred, but also strengthened.

Two and a half years ago, Chu Ren began to issue orders to increase troops from all over the country, and has recruited more than 2 million new soldiers, some of which replaced the original government soldiers and were responsible for public security in various places, some sent to the Jiubian to become new border soldiers, and most of the rest were piled up in Qifenghe.

After all, it was a new army, and with insufficient supplies, the new army's equipment was still incomplete until now. It needed to be transported from Shengong City by airship, spanning the entire Great Chu, thousands of miles apart.

If there is no airship, there is no way to deal with this matter. We can only smelter soldiers from Liaodong. Liaodong produces iron and there are a lot of them, but the technology is too poor. Even the Liaodong Shangshui Army itself doesn't like to use the soldier soldiers and armor. We would rather sell iron fans for money and then find a way to buy soldiers from the Ministry of Works.

Soldiers are different from ordinary goods. Only the Ministry of Industry has a large amount of legal soldiers. If you buy other people's homes? Not to mention that you can't buy enough quantities, who dares to sell them? Who dares to buy them?

A large number of soldiers and armor are like rebellion!

As for Luocheng's celebration, it is just outdated news, and the news is naturally true, but that was something that happened a long time ago.

In Renault's opinion, it was a bit incredible. In the eyes of the Chu people, it was too normal. Wuyang Mansion was so far away, three, five months, half a year or even longer before the news was sent back, isn't it right?

"I didn't expect that the legendary Zhenla Earth Immortal actually exists and is so fierce, it's a pity." Du Jian shook his head slightly and sighed.
