Chapter 670： How lonely is invincibility

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Dahua officials will start to make annual summaries again.

In the three years of Yongxing, Dahua once again achieved rapid development.

The Jingsong Railway, which lasted for one and a half years, has been completed and officially opened to traffic.

Moreover, the speed of the train has also increased from the original 20 kilometers per hour to 40 kilometers per hour, and it can also reach 35 kilometers per hour when fully loaded.

This is a leap, relying on the technological development of high-temperature and high-pressure boilers.

Now Dahua's steam engine technology has entered a mature stage, and some ultra-high temperature and high pressure steam engines have been manufactured.

Moreover, steam engines have been used in various industries to provide power, which greatly saves labor.

In the past, it took at least three or four days to get from Nanjing to Shanghai.

And now seven or eight hours by train is enough. This is a qualitative leap, which has closely linked Shanghai and Nanjing.

From Nanjing to Shanghai, the transportation cost of goods directly more than doubled.

In addition to the Nanjing-Shanghai route, Dahua also built several sections of railways from Nanjing to Wuhu, Nanjing to Yangzhou, and Shanghai to Hangzhou during the year.

These are some sections of several large lines, and currently they are building and running the railway.

Therefore, several places in Dahua now have trains, and trains have become part of the lives of Dahua people.

Hearing the roar of the train again, not many people would feel curious anymore.

No matter how new things are, you will get tired of seeing it for more than a year.

Thanks to the improvement of steam engine technology, Dahua's shipbuilding industry has improved even more this year.

This year, the number of merchant ships has greatly increased, and the tonnage has also greatly increased. Thousand-ton freighters have appeared.

This kind of merchant ship can transport nearly 1,000 tons of goods at a time. Compared with a carriage pulling one ton at a time, its transportation capacity can be said to be against the sky.

Because of the appearance of bicycles, trains and steamboats, the price of horses in Dahua has dropped to a certain extent.

In the past, horses were very expensive and were strategic materials. In the war period, they were often not available for money.

But now, horses have slowly become unpopular.

The biggest transportation aspect of horses is that they don’t like to use horses for transportation. The cost is too high.

Of course, rivers are needed for shipping, and railways only benefit the surrounding areas. There are still many places where Dahua needs horses.

Horses are only slightly less popular, but it will take many years to eliminate them completely.

The development of ships has not only greatly improved in number and tonnage, but also in other aspects.

For example, a large number of paddle wheel drives have been changed to propeller drives, which becomes safer and more convenient.

The navy's warships have all been changed to propellers, so the probability of being destroyed by enemy shells is greatly reduced.

In addition to installing propellers, naval warships also install iron sheets on their surfaces to increase the protection of warships.

After adding the iron sheet, the general small-caliber artillery can't even cause damage to it.

When faced with large-caliber artillery, the protective ability is also greatly improved.

This kind of pseudo-iron armored ship, or half-iron armored ship, has been in an invincible state in the waters near Dahua.

That is to say, the British navy can fight against Dahua's navy by virtue of its number.

However, for the time being, Dahua has not had any head-on conflict with the United Kingdom, and the Navy's construction of these warships can only increase the loneliness.

This situation also caused great dissatisfaction among the Army people, who felt that the Navy was simply wasting money.

The warships built with huge sums of money are useless.

Of course, the Army actually has such a problem.

The arsenal has developed twenty catties of cannons, which are devastating.

However, the Chinese army basically cannot use it. The strongest enemy, Qing Dynasty, has been maimed, and some of the remaining enemies are weak.

For the Huajun, now there is only one factor that restricts their siege of the city, and that is logistical support.

If the logistics can keep up, they can knock down Xinjiang and Tibet and other places within a month.

In addition to the artillery, in terms of guns, the arsenal has also produced a hand-cranked multi-barreled machine gun, which can fire more than one hundred rounds per minute. Other generals who watched directly said that they couldn't afford it.

When using rifles, they still don't think bullets are expensive.

But they calculated the bullet consumption rate of the machine gun, and their scalp numb.

In the end, each main division was equipped with more than a dozen aircraft, and the other units were not equipped.

In fact, when equipped, it also pretended to be lonely.

This hand-cranked multi-barreled machine gun has a little effect on defense, but it is not easy to use because it is extremely heavy and heavy on offense.

But the problem is, now that all the forces are unable to dodge Dahua, where can they dare to take the initiative to attack them.

Therefore, they have no defensive weapons, but they have no chance of defensive combat.

It is precisely because of this crushing strength that the Air Force has not received any further investment this year and has not made much development.

In the words of other arms, your air force is already invincible anyway. Why do you continue to improve?

The arsenal is still continuing to develop more advanced aircraft, but after the research is done, it will not equip the troops because there is no money.

All newly researched things will have a common feature, that is, they are expensive.

When there is no special need, the arsenal only researches and develops and does not equip the troops in batches.

Just like a mortar, the technology in the arsenal is now very mature.

However, only the seven or eight main divisions in the army are equipped with new mortars, and none of the other units.

The only one who can completely change into a new outfit without any scruples is the Guards.

Their current level of equipment has almost reached the level of an army in the original time and space of World War I.

The gun is already a semi-automatic rifle, using an all-metal bullet shell, smokeless powder, and its rate of fire is faster.

Well-trained soldiers can shoot more than a dozen shots a minute.

Each company is equipped with machine guns. Their mission is to defend. They don't need offense. The demand for machine guns is very large.

The grenade is also an improved version, which is lighter and more powerful. A soldier can carry four or five at the same time.

In addition to these conventional weapons, the Guards are also equipped with real sniper rifles with scopes, and the range can reach four or five hundred meters.

It is no longer a joke for well-trained soldiers to shoot accurately at 500 meters. Even with good luck, they can kill people at 700 to 800 meters.

There are also a lot of other mortars and rocket launchers.

It can be said that if Dahua's guard division is sent to fight the Fusang people head-on, and neither side uses tactics, a guard division can at least defeat an army of 200,000.

Before the ammunition is consumed, they are invincible.

However, the Guards Division never went to fight foreign enemies, and its only role was to defend against its own troops.
