Campbell's territory is not large, about half the area of the four southwest provinces.
And the entire Campbell is almost a plain, so when I learned that Falkenhausen planned to purchase more arms to arm the Army, and hired CPA military consultants to help Campbell carry out militarization reforms.
With words and deeds, he patted his head and began to pull the GPD: "Your Excellency Governor, whether it is arms or military advisers, there is no problem, as long as Campbell pays the corresponding expenses."
Falkenhausen held a cup of tea and took a light sip. To be honest, he still prefers Chinese coffee.
Facing the pressure of the rise of the Ottoman navy, and the commercial republic of Venoa began to take the comprador route, using Chinese goods to seize Campbell's market in the Great Plains, Falkenhausen was eager to modernize the military reform of the army and navy.
Therefore, Falkenhausen gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said so: "I also ask the director not to worry about this. Since our country intends to take this step, it will naturally have the corresponding financial preparations."
Words and deeds nodded, and then turned on an electronic board, which showed a green-painted bicycle, and on the car there were early "motorized infantry" or cavalry of Carinthia.
Words and deeds continued: "This is a bicycle, I think your Excellency the Governor should have seen it."
Falkenhausen nodded, he had one in his house, but it wasn't a good ride. The shrewd Chinese businessman, considering this situation, specially installed a plug-in at the rear wheel.
For a small fee, buy a DLC and you can add 2 wheels to the rear of your bike.
Falkenhausen also tried to ride it after installing the offset wheel.
Falkenhausen scratched his cheeks. After all, the eccentric wheel felt a bit humiliating to him. The original version had no eccentric wheel, so he said embarrassedly, "I have one at home, but it has a eccentric wheel."
Words and deeds smiled and said knowingly: "It doesn't matter, I also installed wheels when I was learning bicycles when I was a child.
What do you think of bicycles? "
Recalling the stiff buttocks, Falkenhausen shook his head helplessly: "As I get older, if I sit for a little longer, my buttocks hurt.
But bicycles are really convenient, Campbell doesn't produce horses..."
Falkenhausen had a flash of inspiration, looked at the cyclists of Carinthia on the electronic board, and asked, "Director Yan, you mean that we can improve the army by imitating the army of Carinthia and increase the number of cyclists?"
Words and deeds nodded with a smile: "Yes, Campbell's road is the most perfect road among the countries of Aghanim continent except in Carinthia.
You do not produce horses, so the scarcity of cavalry can be replaced by bicycles. "
Falkenhausen very much agrees with the view of words and deeds, and he also means it: "Thank you Director Yan for your kind reminder, we will adopt this suggestion."
After speaking, Falkenhausen turned his head and exchanged opinions with the army representative behind him and his students, and his students also felt that the proposal of the teacher and Director Yan was good.
In total, Falkenhausen immediately took a photo of the board: "We plan to purchase 200,000 bicycles."
Huh, after hearing his words and deeds, Falkenhausen was decisive and decided directly.
According to the information obtained from the intelligence department, the Army of the Commercial Republic of Campbell looks like 300,000-330,000. Since the eastern border of Campbell has the western mountains as a natural barrier, the Campbell Peninsula does not need to maintain too many army standing troops.
Campbell's threat was from the sea, so they invested more in the navy.
With 200,000 bicycles, this arrogant dog owner intends to reform the entire Campbell Army by "motorization" and "cavalryization".
Of course, 200,000 bicycles are a little bit insincere. With the electronic board of words and deeds, an extended tricycle appeared in Falkenhausen's eyes.
This kind of elongated tricycle is an elongated version of the tricycle used by the sanitation workers in the city to clean the streets.
These tricycles are now mainly sold for public transport or private bicycles in Carinthia.
Cars are too expensive for people in Carinthia, and car licenses are nowhere near as good as horse-drawn carriage and tricycle licenses.
Therefore, the vast majority of Carinthian residents who have a little spare money choose tricycles as their own scooters.
Although the carriage is good, it is more expensive than a tricycle, and it is necessary to raise a horse that is even more expensive than a carriage. This is not something that ordinary Carinthian middle- and lower-class people can afford.
The photo of the tricycle shown by Shixing was taken on the streets of Anriburg, the temporary capital of the Panda Empire. There were many passengers sitting on the tricycle. The driver of the tricycle had a towel on his shoulder and used his muscular thighs. Happy riding a tricycle.
Immediately after words and deeds, another electronic board was drawn, and a tricycle with cargo appeared on the electronic board.
The words and deeds introduced: "This kind of tricycle can not only carry people, but also carry goods, which can solve the problem of personnel delivery and material transportation for your country on land."
Falkenhausen and his disciples saw that there was an artifact like a tricycle
Words and deeds said: "An extended version of the tricycle can install up to 6 seats and carry 6 members."
If one person carries 6, it seems to be good.
Of course, it is the guy who rides the bicycle. Carinthia's extended tricycle bus is basically a round-trip station within 3 kilometers.
From .asxs. to the finish line, tricycle drivers also need a period of rest.
Of course, I know the hardships of riding a tricycle by words and deeds, so I followed the suggestion: "For a tricycle, it can be divided into 3 drivers, 1 main driver and 2 co-drivers.
If the main driver is tired of pedaling, you can switch to two co-pilots to pedal.
Take turns pedalling to maintain the battery life of the tricycle. "
The early Carinthian cavalry next door was already crying, why didn't this magical method tell the baby earlier
After thinking about it, Falkenhausen felt that this proposal was indeed a good idea.
In this way, it is possible to reduce the purchase of bicycles and reduce Campbell's expenses.
If I just do it like this, I feel a little sorry for people who kindly propose for me, and I have less words and deeds to make money.
Words and deeds don't matter, we are thinking of customers, very conscientious.
In the end, the people from Falkenhausen and the army came together and knocked down a final motorization plan, and the purchase of bicycles was reduced by 50,000 to 150,000.
The purchase of tricycles took into account the need for official vehicles for government officials in the Governor's Office, so 50,000 tricycles were purchased in addition to those used by the military.
After finalizing the procurement plan for bicycles with the professional team of the Time and Space Administration, Words and Actions put forward a new proposal to Falkenhausen, trying their best to drain this rich and oily maritime business country.
Just when Falkenhausen thought that words and deeds had ended the modern military reform of the Campbell Army, words and deeds threw out another big news.
"From Campbell, the capital at the southernmost tip of your country, to Sniway, the northernmost city in your country, the entire distance is equivalent to the distance from Sanshan City in Bamin Province on the southeastern coast of our country to the capital of our country."
Falkenhausen nodded, this distance is generally not crossed by horses in Campbell, but by boats.
For horses, it will take about 48 days on the road.
Boats, however, are different. If they encounter the right monsoons or currents, the sailing time will only be shortened.
Words and deeds continued: "Several companies in our country are very interested in improving traffic roads in your country. If your country allows, we will build a road for your country from Campbell to Snyway within five years. Railroad throughout the Merchant Republic of Campbell."
railway! !
Falkenhausen and the army generals were shocked. They knew too much about railways, and they were too eager.
As long as there is a railway, the distance between the north and the south of Campbell will be shortened, the flow of goods will be accelerated, and the military projection of troops will also be accelerated.
Although Huaxia had proposed to build a steam train railway running through the north and south in Camber before, but those factory factions, as well as the navy and maritime merchants who had been hit by the trade competition, strongly opposed the entry of the railway.
The factory faction is now almost always against Huaxia because of Chinese goods.
The maritime faction, on the other hand, opposes the railways alone, because with the arrival of the railways, the profits of the maritime merchants who are close to the sea transportation for profit will inevitably decline.
For offshore cargo transportation, people will definitely choose cheaper and faster trains, so the maritime faction is opposed to railways.
The reason for the navy's opposition is very simple. When the Chinese Fifth Fleet rode Campbell in the war more than 3 years ago, the navy was greatly humiliated.
Since that time, the naval faction has hated the "God" of Huaxia very much.
But with the military reform, these guys have honestly accepted a lot of "modern" weapons.
Even so, of course, it would be difficult to get the Navy to approve the railroad.
The construction of the railway means the rise of the army, which the naval faction does not want to see.
Coupled with the propaganda of the Campbell people in China who have heard the propaganda of ulterior motives, the people who were frightened by the steam locomotive were strongly opposed to this thing.
Therefore, in the face of domestic resistance and the emotion of defeat, Mann, who was then Governor of Campbell, was unable to promote the construction of the railway.
But now it is different, Ottoman is threatening Campbell, Campbell must seek reform.
Falkenhausen is a decisive man, and he will firmly support whatever is good for the country.
Although he is a neutral faction recommended by the financial faction, he is a field marshal who knows that at this time, he must unite all factions to strengthen Campbell, and the railway must be repaired.
Falkenhausen looked at his words and deeds seriously and said: "Yanju, I personally support this matter, but please wait until I return to Campbell and discuss with various relevant officials in the country before I can do it. Decide."
Words and deeds smiled: "It's natural."
Now the class in Campbell's country, the pro-Chinese compradors are the same, and more pro-Chinese factions are needed in words and deeds.
For Campbell's domestic complex political environment, words and deeds also expressed understanding.
The reason why the railway was proposed to Campbell is not only to "help" Campbell to carry out militarization reforms, but also to help Campbell improve productivity, promote social development, and enable the whole society to create more wealth.
With more wealth, Campbell has more spare money to buy Chinese goods.
This is a process of a virtuous circle. The colonialism of Westerners has been proved to be a failure by history, and the globalized West has begun to decline.
Mutual benefit and win-win development, developing these wild markets is the most correct path, and it is also the path that Huaxia is currently taking.
