In fact, people from all the major empires have done some investigation on a series of things about the Cao Family Trading Company, but the final result is

There are some things that they don't know and can't figure out. Each of these people has seen some things about the Cao Family Trading Company.

situation, but in the end they didn't expect that people from the Cao Family Trading Company would use these things to create something that they didn't even understand.

These things are now causing them a loss. At the beginning, they also thought about not letting the Cao Family Trading Company

The most important thing we gave the common people to do was to make serial crossbows. We didn't do such a thing at the beginning.

Thinking that the people from Cao's Trading Company would give so much money, many people thought that such a thing would be difficult, but they didn't expect it.

There is no such thing at all. People are still doing very well. For them, if something like this happens, it is a big deal.

It's very good. At least it's much better than farming in the past. They didn't think this was possible before.

It's a good way. Everyone feels that the people from Cao's Trading Company cheated them by asking them to buy from Cao's Trading Company.

Food, indeed, some people in the Cao Family Trading Company had such an idea, but in the end they still didn’t do that.

Yes, I have done this for you all. As long as you can bring me the serial crossbow, it will be yours.

There will be no problem, that is, if more people are involved, even though the government is shouting that all grains must be

It's okay to plant it. But who will listen to that? People are not fools. How can I do this for a day with a serial crossbow?

Five or six hundred cents. Why don't you do it? It can buy dozens of kilograms of fucking grain, and it's all white flour. Other things

How can Qing get so much food? Don't be kidding, it doesn't take him a year to get it from the fields.

What happened in the Southern Empire made them all know that if they didn't have food in their hands, they would probably starve. Although

Although everyone felt the crisis, they still had no other thoughts when huge benefits were in front of them.

Regardless of the law, the only serious thing is to find the money. If you don't have that much money, you won't be able to live at all.

Besides, in a family of four, except for one person who takes care of other things, the remaining three people can earn more than one or two yuan a day.

Silver, and the people of the Cao Family Trading Company spent tens of billions of serial crossbows because of this war, even if they were recycled at the end

A lot of people came, but their inventory was running low, so they placed a big order.

Besides, some money needs to be wasted when training new recruits. With so many new recruits coming, Li Cong directly asked the armaments department to

Prepare an amount of 10 billion a month. Although this amount seems large, it will not be much if it is spread out.

Aren't there still a lot of people who were so uncomfortable that they wanted to quarrel because they had less work? Later, Li Cong added a lot more

Yes, but it is impossible for Li Cong to put all his arms sources in their hands. This is just to buy people's hearts.

One way is. On an overseas island, there are 8 million people doing this kind of work. They are all Li

From the purchased slaves, they already had their own lives on that island. They did a good job and they all

Now that they have their own home, due to legal reasons, they will definitely be wanted by the country even if they return to the mainland.

, so they all chose to stay there. Anyway, they had nothing to worry about, just making serial crossbows.

Nearly one billion can be produced in one day, so that is the main place to provide it.

The main problem is that the cost of the Cao Family Trading Company is too high. It was not that high in the past.

Now there is a super serial crossbow. This thing can insert nearly 100 crossbow arrows in one minute. That is because of this

This thing will cause the soldiers of the Southern Empire to suffer more casualties. Such a thing is a soldier harvester on the battlefield.

Yes, many people have seen the power of this thing. At a distance of 2000 meters, if it is shot directly, it will basically

That is, a dead soldier with a shield can rush to a distance of 1500 meters. If he goes further, he will die directly.

The distance of 1,500 meters is basically the same as the distance of 2,000 meters. There is no difference. The army of the Southern Empire is

For other people who want to fight in close quarters, this tactic is correct, but for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company

, such tactics are simply seeking death and have no effect at all. A soldier holding a serial crossbow will always

More than 300 crossbow arrows will be consumed every day. The soldiers on the front line must have at least several million. They consume ten crossbow arrows in a day.

Hundreds of millions, these are all money, but fortunately after the victory of the Cao Family Trading Company, these money will be transferred to the Southern Empire.

Otherwise, even Li Cong couldn't afford the expense. It was too much, even though he had educated many recruits.

Many times, I have to aim at them all before firing, but the recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time always feel that it is impossible to kill with a crossbow arrow.

If an enemy is killed, it is because of them that the crossbow arrows will be wasted so much, but now it is a victory.

Fang, if you pursue this matter too much, you will be looked down upon. It is better not to talk about these issues.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. A lot of things have happened in this year. Li Cong has already mastered the secrets of martial arts.

I have basically learned all the things mentioned above. Of course, I wasted a lot of experience points and some money. The money is still worth it.

I don't care. I have this thing, but other experience points are more precious. From the beginning to

Now, the end of the peace talks allowed Li Cong to gain about 5 million experience points, but he later exchanged them for this thing and that thing.

Basically there is no more. Some other things make Li Cong even more uncomfortable. They often feel that there is something wrong.

There are some things that are wrong, but as my research deepens, these things that are wrong will gradually become less and less.

Until then, Li Cong has already begun to patrol his properties everywhere, the most important one is in the Southern Empire.

Some industries here have been closed for a long time due to the war. Now come back and take a closer look.

It is not that simple to let them start over, but now they can do everything. The following people

As long as you work hard at this thing, there is nothing you can't do wrong. In addition, in the past, the Cao Family Firm always had its own

For some old customers, these transactions can be restored very quickly. Although the officials of the Southern Empire want to curb it,

, but everyone knows the relationship between the government and the market. It is not easy for a government to curb it.

If it is an ordinary small enterprise, it is really possible that it will not be able to withstand their attack, but the current situation is definitely difficult.

It's not that simple anymore. The Cao Family Trading Company is such a huge enterprise, and the war is being fought in the south.

, no one in the north is unhappy with the Cao Family Trading Company, and business is still the same as before.

The Eastern Empire also accelerated the development of their navy during this year, and a naval fleet was also established. They

Although the attack method has undergone some changes, it is still limited to a range of 500 to 1000 meters. However, it is different from the previous time.

Compared with other times, it is already very good. The size of the Eastern Empire's navy is already about 1 million ships, but he

Their ships are all relatively small. In the naval battle with the Cao Family Trading Company, basically all the Southern Empire Navy's ships were defeated.

There is not even any underpants left. This time they built it all by themselves. This kind of thing can be done on their bodies.

What happened on the 19th, the main newly built warship of the Southern Empire is nearly 50 meters long, about 10 meters wide, 5 meters deep, and has a load capacity of 350 tons; it is made of teak.

It is divided into fifteen watertight compartments; it has three masts, the main mast is 27 meters high, the head and tail masts are 23 meters high and 15 meters high respectively; the main sail weighs 9 tons

, suspended stern rudder, with a crew of 25 people and a combat team of 65 people. The combat team mainly adopts a type of jumping ship combat.

The attack team, if they can still serve as Marines in normal times, will be when the war begins.

They can add fifty people aboard, and the original space is left on the top, but the speed is much different, with a tailwind.

When there is a headwind, it can reach 6,000 meters per hour. When there is a headwind, the maximum speed is 4,000 meters per hour. The speed can be said to be already slow.

To a certain extent, of course, this is compared to the Cao Family Trading Company's 70 kilometers per hour speed.

For some local ships, this speed is considered adequate. Of course, if the navy of the Southern Empire can not carry

With so many soldiers, the speed can still reach 10 kilometers per hour, but without so many soldiers, their attack speed can still reach 10 kilometers per hour.

The attack will be down, but it can't be compared with the merchant ships of the Cao Family Trading Company.

If you put the Cao Family Trading Company's river escort boats and the Eastern Empire's ships together, the two sides would be quite different in size and so on.

Not much, but their fighting methods are much different. The Cao Family Trading Company mainly relies on the artillery above to fight.

With more than 30 artillery pieces, of course, it is impossible for such a small boat to fire a salvo, but it can be fired in one minute.

There are more than 50 cannon shells, which is enough to destroy many warships. This warship of the Eastern Empire basically received three to five rounds of cannons.

The shells are considered dead. The shells used by the Cao Family Trading Company are very penetrating shells, not the kind that explode.

Basically, you can make the other party sad for a long time. This kind of ability is also very good, but these people don't do much.

They look like the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, because what gave them such confidence was the war crossbows installed on their ships. This

This thing can hit a place a thousand meters away. In addition to not exploding, this kind of thing is similar to the artillery shells of Cao Family Trading Company.

It has similar attack power, but its effective attack range is only four to five hundred meters. Only at this distance can Cao

A hole was opened for the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. Because they were all made of wood, it was impossible for the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company to be damaged by this thing.

There is no response on the west side. Of course, if the distance is too far, it will have no effect. The warships on both sides have no close range.

Li has fought against each other, and there is still speculation about how many. Such a warship has 12 crossbows on it. The total cost is

For 250,000 taels of silver, plus personnel training and other things, it takes 300,000 taels of silver to form combat effectiveness. This price is not high.

What the Eastern Empire can afford, even these 1 million ships will cost them their lives, and the cost of 300 billion will make their government
