034 Blue Alert
After nearly a year of development, North's men now have a regular army of 1,000 people, including Red Warrior soldiers and ordinary soldiers.
This number doesn't sound like a lot, but don't forget that these 1,000 people need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep while not having to give birth.
In addition, warships, military facilities, and various weapons also cost money. It is not easy for Kokoya Island to support a regular army of 1,000 people. This is also thanks to North's Red Alert System. If it is an ordinary force, it cannot afford an army of this size.
During the reign of the Dragon Pirates, the entire island had a population of only a few hundred people, and each village had a population of only a few dozen people.
Nowadays, the indigenous residents on the island, and the overseas immigrants who have come here one after another, the population of the entire Kokoya Island has grown to about 10,000. Without the support of the surrounding land, North is not ready to continue to expand its population.
North did not intend to develop the new country into a country that needed to rely on imports to support itself. In today's environment of the era of navigation, the ability to be self-sufficient is tantamount to chronic suicide.
Everything needs to be taken step by step. The most important thing in front of you is to first overcome the crisis of the world government's conquest, and then slowly plan to annex the surrounding islands.
...
Cocoa Island, Orange Street.
Please don’t get me wrong, Orange Street is not a street selling oranges.
In the world of Pirates, most islands grow besides coconuts and oranges.
Perhaps because sailors have been sailing for a long time, they are prone to septicemia due to lack of vitamin C. People accidentally discovered that eating oranges can effectively treat this symptom. Therefore, in this world dominated by oceans and navigation, orange trees are planted on most islands.
In this world, oranges can basically represent the group of farmers.
The significance of Orange Street is naturally self-evident.
But on today's Orange Street, the people coming and going are not as happy as they used to be.
"Blue alert, the world noble royal naval admiral Nelson Roy, the naval admiral, wants to attack our country with his navy and destroy our country's peace and tranquility..."
Except for some ignorant children, almost every citizen is reading the latest issue of the newspaper.
"Navy" is ultimately a noun that does not contain praise or derogatory meanings. In order to distinguish it from its own naval region, the term "Royal Navy" is used in publications published in the new country for the navies under the world government.
"This group of Royal Navy is always so annoying. When there were pirates in the past, they didn't come here, but now they are so active."
"This time the enemy is different from those inequality pirates in the past. This is the regular royal navy of the world government. Can our own navy deal with it?"
"Don't worry."
"How can I feel relieved?"
"Didn't you see the official use of the word blue alert? It means that the consul didn't take them seriously at all. Maybe the consul has now figured out how to deal with them."
"It makes some sense... You are still smart. You discovered the details so quickly. I was so panicked..."
Blue alert is a professional vocabulary that is revealed in the new country.
According to the degree of danger of the enemy attack, the official divided the total five levels.
Green, with a lower risk of terrorist attacks, almost does not affect the lives of civilians, and most of them will become the topic of conversation for civilians after dinner.
Blue, the general risk of terrorist attacks. The army has the ability to block danger from the country's borders.
Yellow, with a significant risk of terrorist attacks. Civilians try to hide in safe areas and not go out and wait for the army to resolve the crisis.
Orange, with a higher risk of terrorist attacks. It has seriously affected national security and the whole people are on guard.
Red, the risk of serious terrorist attacks. The crisis of life and death of a country.
The name of the game "Red Alert" comes from this. If the Allies are regarded as the protagonist, the attacks of the coalition or the empire have already caused them to risk their country being destroyed.
There is also a game called "Blue Alert", which is translated purely for the popularity. Their real name is "State of War" or "Level One Preparation"... I won't say much.
200 of North's 1,000 troops are explosion-proof troops, responsible for maintaining domestic public security. Although they can go to the battlefield if they replace the equipment of the regular army, the current regular army actually has only 800 people.
There are only three large warships, all of which are destroyers of the Allied Army in Red Alert 2.
Just like the main ships of the Navy General, these three are the main ships of Eurege, Gillis, and Tuwu Intermediary.
North has the ability to produce more warships but cannot afford it. Destroyers are not sailing ships, but modern warships, and each of them is an oil tiger.
Just like the Red Warrior soldiers also need to eat, except for the reconnaissance aircraft that Usopp has been paying attention to, the rest of the machines need fuel consumption.
Their ammunition inherits the advantages of the soldiers. They can refresh supplies in the first round, and only then will the factory be produced.
Greatly reduced war expenses.
Considering the fuel consumption problem, except for the three warships, most of the remaining warships are small ships, including the hurricane submarine of the coalition forces in the Red Alert 2, the rapid ACV of the Allied Army in the Red Alert 3, and the magnetic explosion speedboat of the coalition forces.
It can be operated by just a few people, which is also a threat to sailing ships in the Pirate World, with high mobility and less oil.
Not many tanks were produced. Apart from the Imperial amphibious tsunami medium tank, North only produced two Grizzly light tanks.
After all, the Pirate World is a world dominated by the ocean, and tanks and the like always feel powerful and have nowhere to use.
After North’s plan to recruit senior engineers in the future, see if the tank’s weapons can be modified onto warships, such as light-leaning destroyers, Phantom Submarines, etc. Of course, that’s all a story later. North does not have the authority to unlock light-leaning tanks, V3 rockets, etc.
Next is the defense tower.
Although there are almost no flying devices in the Pirate World, there are many people who can fly, such as Demon Fruit abilities, Yuebu, etc.
To prevent these people from raids, North built several Allied Patriot missiles on the island.
Yuri's Gatling Cannon North was not built because in reality, the range of the cannon is far less than that of missiles, but some Gatling tanks were produced for mobile air defense fire.
The coalition's anti-aircraft guns are completely useless. The anti-aircraft guns are damaged by fragmentation and are easy to deal with aircraft, so they will not be very good at hitting people, and they will waste their economy.
Finally, there is the giant cannon.
No national or businessman who comes to trade will forget the giant cannon that looks exaggerated at the port.
The giant with a height of three or four floors and a barrel of more than 30 meters long is like a door god protecting the new country.
