Mentioning this, Fang Shisan explained:
"For example, when we fought against Li Neng's army for the first time, our soldiers could cut off their knives with knives. This is an advantage in equipment. With such an advantage, we can minimize casualties The infantry in Yuxi City are equipped with a spear, a dagger handle, and a dagger, and the armor is heavy armor or leather armor. The reason for the large number of weapons is that it is very common for soldiers to break on the battlefield. , First, the spear meets the enemy. When the formation is divided or the spear is broken, you can choose short sword or dagger for hand-to-hand combat, and you will not face powerless situations because you lose your weapon."
Although this may seem wasteful, it is not.
I agree with Fang Shisan on this point: the time cost and money cost of building equipment are far less than the cost of training a fighter. If you can improve the survival rate of soldiers by relying on equipment advantages, then everything is worth it.
Fang Shisan closed her eyes, without the slightest bit of nervousness, she said calmly:
"Our weapons and equipment are relatively advanced in the current small-scale battles. Even if we can get supplies from Lord Yunyang this time, we will not be left behind. It's just that from now on, the war we face is only possible once. It is more difficult than ever, I will try my best to defend the five cities now, and give you more room for growth, this is the only thing I am confident to do well."
Bai Huang hadn't participated in such meetings before, but now she put her arms around her arms and protested.
"Right now, all the armaments in Yuxi City are bought from our sea of clouds, right? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. You guys bought fakes, right? Although our army in Yunhai dare not say that it is the best in the world, our weapons and equipment should be It's advanced."
He Yue explained with a smile:
"None of the territories will sell the most elite batch of weapons and equipment. What's more, even if Lord Yunhai intends to sell it to us for Miss Baihuang's sake, given the current economic strength of Yuxi City, most of them will Can't afford it."
The white phoenix chicken pecked rice and nodded, with an expression of "I knew it":
"So it's not that our Yunhai's equipment is not sophisticated enough, it's just a matter of money."
The smile on He Yue's face froze.
There is actually nothing wrong with what Bai Huang said, but he doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.
Now that Yuxi City is in charge of He Yue, Bai Huang directly classifies this matter as insufficient funds, no matter how you look at it, it seems that He Yue has given the blame to He Yue.
I didn't make a sound, I just held my head, wanting to see He Yue's reaction.
After being stunned for a moment, He Yue immediately recovered her smile and said patiently:
"If you just use money to solve the problem, it's not impossible. However, although armaments are divided into levels like ordinary weapons and equipment, they cannot be purchased as ordinary weapons and equipment. The weapons and equipment used by the army require the same standard, and they are used in teams. Combat is different in design. Therefore, when forging, each forging workshop generally distinguishes between civilian and military methods. Forging workshops that produce armaments basically only produce ordnance for their own territories, and privately use the latest Selling your weapons and equipment to other territories is a crime of beheading."
Bai Huang scratched his head and said:
"Then just poach the workers from those forging workshops."
Shuang answered the question and said:
"It's the same. Those craftsmen are basically watched closely by the Anbu organizations of various families. If we have a forge in Yuxi City in the future, the little girl will do the same thing. Generally speaking, they will not be allowed to leave easily, even if Visiting relatives will be monitored.”
Now Bai Huang had no choice but to lean on the back of the chair and said:
"Buy but can't buy, dig but can't dig, what else can I do!"
He Yue turned to the rest of the people and said:
"At present, there is only one way to recruit a blacksmith. Ordnance is different from ordinary weapons and equipment, so it is not something we laymen can study and understand. If we can recruit a knowledgeable person, he can at least understand what we bought. How those armaments are forged, so that we can imitate a batch of the same equipment at a relatively low price. In time, we may be able to improve on the basis of imitation and improve our armament level. It is worth noting that this person It doesn’t have to be a blacksmith who forged ordnance, as long as he has enough ability, as far as I know, although the forges that produce ordnance are strictly guarded by various territories, they don’t seem to restrict the blacksmiths who produce civilian weapons.”
After these words fell, everyone nodded together.
I am most afraid of laymen guiding experts when doing things. One of us is engaged in internal affairs, one is engaged in military affairs, and the other is engaged in espionage, plus two combatants and two idlers. What kind of forging do we know. A group of people can't come up with a result after blind analysis here, so it's better to recruit a staff who is proficient in this field.
But at this moment, Fang Shisan suddenly said:
"I have thought about and practiced this before. However, in fact, most of the skilled forging masters have joined military forging workshops, and there are very few fish that slip through the net. And those free forging masters don't like forging very much. For the ordnance work, when I ask them to help forge ordnance, most of them will leave.”
Bai Huang was lying prone on the table, but she sat up again after hearing this:
"Forging is not forging, and we will not treat them badly."
Fang Shisan smiled slightly, but did not speak.
He Yue said simply:
"Maybe it's because of the forging of ordnance, the blood is too strong. There is no good or evil on the battlefield, only killing and being killed. Many blacksmiths don't want to see the weapons they make are used for this kind of pure killing."
Bai Huang pondered for a while, then said:
"What about extra money? Increase their wages a few times, I'm not afraid they won't come over."
He Yue shook her head:
"If they value money, they would have already entered the forge that produces ordnance in their territory. How could they come to Yuxi City so far away?"
Seeing their discussion in full swing, I covered my mouth and yawned. Then I heard Bai Huang irritably said:
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work... Is there no way to go?"
He Yue nodded:
"some."
She looked around and said calmly:
"I've thought about this issue too. I'm not going to bring up the issue of self-developed ordnance. I just said that as the population grows, Yuxi City needs to recruit some skilled blacksmiths. When they settle down in Yuxi City, we will think about other things. There is always a way, either to fight for it or to steal the teacher. The key is to lure people over first."
Fang Thirteen said:
"It's difficult. Blacksmithing is a relatively sensitive profession. If we openly recruit blacksmiths without a suitable reason, it will easily arouse the vigilance of other territories."
He Yue looked in my direction and said:
"So... if you want to get things done, I'm afraid you have to wrong the city lord again."
I didn't finish my yawn, and I stood there with a dull expression.
