Chapter 1094: A slice of the pie

Views:

The rebellion in Nanqingcheng is actually not complicated.

After Qianye, Song Zining, and Ji Tianqing entered the maelstrom, the empire immediately withdrew from the neutral ground. After the dark race sent everyone in, they also left one after another.

The vortex passage in the neutral land can only enter but not exit, and those who enter want to leave, they have to go through the passage in the traditional initial area. In this way, there is no point in staying in a neutral place.

It is impossible for Eternal Burning Flame to wait too long. As a giant of demons walking in the world, he has too many things to deal with. The environment of the neutral land is also a kind of torture for the demons, so they are naturally eager to leave early. On the other hand, it is impossible for the imperial fleet to stay for a long time. Compared with the dark race, the human race can't afford to lose such an elite team.

Coupled with the fact that the Blood Throne is watching and delaying, it's like hanging a sharp sword over the heads of all the strong. No one knows when this guy will go crazy. Who will stay longer if he can leave early

As a result, the East China Sea landmass, especially Nanqingcheng, formed a power vacuum. Originally, there were many forces coveting the large workshop system that had already taken shape in Nanqingcheng. After waiting for a few days and confirming that the imperial fleet had all withdrawn, all the forces, large and small, couldn't help but jumped out.

But no one expected that Tianwang Zhang couldn't bear the loneliness, so he sent Zhang Xuance, and he also had a hidden general to assist him.

Since Zhang Buzhou stepped on the table with one foot, other forces had no choice but to stop. In the East China Sea, Zhang Buzhou has two generals, including a strong man like the Wolf King. Other parties, such as the Moonlight White Devil and the Frost Thunder Temple, are only stronger on paper.

At the critical moment, all the major commercial firms also jumped out, wanting to get a share of the pie, and the situation in Nanqingcheng came to a conclusion.

However, Song Zining seemed to have foreseen this point a long time ago, and confessed some key people under his command in advance, so there was an order to surrender.

The big workshop system is different from other systems. They are interlocking and indispensable. Any problem in any link will affect the operation of the entire system. So as long as Song Zining's workshop is willing to surrender, everything will remain the same, not only the deacon, but also all the craftsmen, stewards and even the workers inside remain unchanged.

Zhang Xuance wanted to make a fuss, and didn't want to be unanimously opposed by all major commercial firms. It doesn't matter if he tosses a few times. As long as the production of Ningyuan Heavy Industry's workshop is abnormal for one or two months, the whole system will be unlucky. Besides, the handwriting of the big workshop system comes from Song Zining. Who knows whether Ningyuan Heavy Industry can still survive after this link is dropped How about buckling it up again? In the face of the strength of real money, even Zhang Tianwang's face is not so useful. Not long after, the major commercial firms discovered that their prediction was correct.

There are too many forces to carve up Nanqing City, too large, and it is difficult for the dark fire to resist. There was also the factor that Song Zining's subordinates surrendered according to the order, so the transition was extremely smooth, and there was not much blood shed.

It was the small mercenary bosses who really rose up to resist. Unexpectedly, they were extremely loyal to Qianye, or they already had a special sense of belonging to Dark Fire. Because their original status is not important, they are not within the scope of surrender according to the order.

No one expected that these little people could fight to the end.

Their resistance was tragic and tragic, like candles in the wind, but they were finally annihilated.

It's just that after dividing up Nanqing City, the major commercial firms quickly discovered the key problem, which is the key to the floating battleship. In the manufacture of high-performance warship engines, it is necessary to rely on a large number of prefabricated components imported from Ningyuan Heavy Industry. A small number of parts that can be made in the workshop need to add an alloy with magical properties, which is the formula alloy that Song Zining exchanged for his military achievements.

The problem is that the alloy formula has always been in the hands of Song Zining, and the people in the workshop only see the finished alloy, which is a silver-white powder. There were only two bottles of this powder left in the workshop. At that time, Zhang Xuance held these two bottles and studied them for a long time, but he didn't see how precious they were.

But without this alloy, parts cannot be made, and without parts, there is no engine. He still understands this relationship.

When he thought about it, this matter was originally very simple. After the alloy was used up, he couldn't make a high-performance engine, so wouldn't it be okay to make a difference? Anyway, the so-called fleets in this ghost place of neutral ground are all broken ships, and they can be fought with the latest warships, as well as warships from a hundred years ago.

But Zhang Xuance did not expect that the so-called engine with poor performance could not be produced. Not to mention weak performance, as long as it is a battleship-class engine, the entire neutral land cannot be built. What can be built here is all designed hundreds of years ago. It is stupid, thick, heavy, and the power is a mess. The only advantage is that it is durable and can withstand the harsh environment of the neutral land.

As for the problem of excessive energy consumption, in a neutral place, it is good to have an engine available, so can it be regarded as a problem

After some twists and turns, Zhang Xuance discovered the current predicament. In other words, without the support of Ningyuan Heavy Industry headquarters, the large workshop system in Nanqingcheng will face a situation where there will be no rice for cooking after another month or two of operation. Although some other parts of the battleship are not affected, it doesn't even have an engine. Why did you build those decks

However, Mr. Zhang has his own way of dealing with it. Anyway, Nan Qingcheng came here for nothing. If he can do it for two months, he will do it first. Although the battleship engine cannot be made, 90% of the value of the entire large workshop system has been lost, so there is still 10% left, right

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Zhang's heart is at peace, and he feels that there is nothing difficult.

Zhang Xuance is aloof and indifferent to the crisis. Those executives of the firm are not ignorant of the fireworks of the world. On the contrary, they live by the fireworks of the world, so they immediately discovered that the value of Ningyuan Heavy Industry is not just a part of the workshop system.

If Zhang Xuance was dissuaded before because they did not want to lose a month or two of downtime, now they have realized that Ningyuan Heavy Industry is equivalent to the cornerstone of this system. They also maintained due respect for Deacon Song who surrendered according to the order. Even the workshop and trading firm under the command of Ningyuan Heavy Industry did not suffer any impact, but the nominal owner changed a batch.

Except for the giants of Wanjin Commercial Bank, the other commercial firms have no intention of plundering, and try to maintain the contract before the change of ownership. They still want to rely on Deacon Song's relationship to import another batch of materials from Ningyuan Heavy Industry. With materials, the entire workshop system can operate. This is the gap between 10% profit and 100% profit, big enough to start a war.

However, including Zhang Xuance, no one realized where the real crisis was. It's not that they didn't think that Song Zining and Qianye would come back, but so what? The overall situation in Nanqingcheng has been decided, and they want to spit out the meat they ate, unless they are ready to fight Zhang Tianwang. If Qianye and Song Zining's attitudes are okay, then they might as well invite them to the table. Anyway, there is enough meat, nothing more than adding two pairs of chopsticks. What's more, with Qianye and Song Zining, there can be a steady stream of meat on the table.

But no one expected that after Qianye's return, his methods would be so fierce that he severely injured the hidden general under Zhang Buzhou's command, and even Zhang Xuance had no time to take him away.

Qianye made it clear that he was not going to give Zhang Buzhou any face, now it was up to Zhang Tianwang to fight back.

This is the battlefield of the powerful, and the weak will be crushed as long as they get close, let alone standing between the two sides. Including the city lord Ji Rui, the various forces in Nanqing City are actually very aware of their position. To them, it doesn't matter who rules Nanqing, it's just a different person who pays the tax, which has to be paid anyway.

So when Qianye and Song Zining actually occupied Nanqing City, the forces in the city did not resist much. When Henry Zhang came, the people in the city had little resistance.

Now that Qianye has overwhelmed Zhang Xuance with thunderous momentum, and directly suppressed the branches of several major commercial firms at the same time, no one will stand up.

When they searched the branch of the commercial firm, they only encountered a little resistance, but it was quickly suppressed. The sporadic counterattacks in the city only lasted about a day, and they went smoothly beyond imagination.

During the whole process, Qianye basically didn't show up much, leaving everything to be handled by the original subordinates.

After a day passed, Nan Qingcheng returned to calm.

In the morning of the next day, Qianye called everyone to a meeting as usual. Usually, this was Song Zining's job, but now it all fell on Qianye's head. It was only when he was dealing with these daily affairs that Qianye realized how difficult Song Zining was. When Song Qi was here, all the big and small matters were handled properly, and he was able to take care of the layout of Nanqing City and even the entire East China Sea. Now it's Qianye's turn, and the trivia, big and small, is causing him a lot of headaches.

After finally finishing the daily affairs, there were only a few confidantes left in the meeting hall. Deacon Song took out a booklet, handed it up, and said with a smile: "This is a list of the branches of various commercial firms, which is very rewarding!"

Qianye opened it and saw that there were mostly bulk supplies inside, but the quality and quantity were astonishing. For example, the quantity of high-grade alloy plates reaches hundreds of tons. In addition, there are dozens of tons of high-temperature and high-pressure pipes. Such a large amount of material is difficult to buy even if you have money.

While Qianye checked, Deacon Song introduced. Most of these materials were to be used on battleships, and what Song Zining wanted to build was a military-grade battleship, so the main materials naturally could not be sloppy. Originally, all the major commercial firms were supplying the warships that were about to be built, but in this rebellion, all of them were seized by Qianye.

In addition, there are ten military-grade ballistas, and some large parts, which belong to the destroyer main gun level. This is the main gun that Song Zining chose for the new battleship, but the parts are still not complete, and the key parts have to be shipped from the empire. This kind of crossbow for the main cannon can only be made in the empire.

After copying these spare parts, they are useless for the time being, so they have to be stored in the warehouse.

But just looking at this list, Qianye roughly understood Song Zining's thoughts. Even if this warship is built in the future, no matter who buys it, if they want crossbow shells or spare parts, or even engine maintenance, they will have to come back to Song Zining. This is a steady stream of business. If you really want to calculate it, the total price may be several times more expensive than the battleship itself.

Song Zining's first plan was to build three warships, and the framework has just been set up now. But if you want to really build a battleship, you still need an engine and a main gun. But in order to make these things, there is a lack of key components; the key components need to use superalloys. When I got here, I got stuck.

But only Qianye knows that this is not a restriction for him, those key components and super alloys are now stored in Hokuriku.
