Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 502: Super-sized fleet

The words were divided into two parts, each expressing one branch. While Luo Gang was subduing his younger brother, on the west coast of Douluo Continent and at the mouth of Caohe River, fishermen drove the electric fishing boats they bought from Tulip back from the shallow sea.

The fishing efficiency of the net is extremely high. These fishermen are also one of the few people who have lived a better life after Tulip left. However, when they looked back at the sea, they suddenly showed horrified expressions.

At the skyline, a dense fleet of ships covered the sea, and the dark metal giant ships made a deafening roar. There were at least 500 giant ships with a length of more than 100 meters. If fully loaded, they could transport at least 500,000 troops.

This is not the most shocking thing. Following the fleet is a group of airships like Kirov airships. The airships are wearing dragon scale exoskeletons. They are not as crispy as the Zeppelin airships in history. Airships the size of battleships are densely arranged in the sky. If you have trypophobia, you will probably faint when you see this scene.

No one knows where such an army came from? Even Tulip had never organized such a large army. The Tulip Army, which has always won by quality, can at worst be able to fight against an opponent ten times its size, and it is rare to form such a large army.

An army of more than 500,000 is not something that any country can produce. Especially after this tragic disaster, volcanic ash caused a reduction in food production during the Ice Age, temperatures dropped, and winters became extremely cold, making it increasingly difficult to survive.

There may be many people who can survive the acid rain and volcanic ash, but not many can survive the famine and plague in the remaining years. After such a disaster, even the empire would hardly have much national power left.

The Tiandou Empire is now the most powerful among Douluo. Want to pull out an army of millions. Neither is possible. It's not like having a population of one million can pull out an army of one million.

Even a single voluntary soldier is impossible. Although Douluo Continent has carried out a bourgeois revolution, it is not complete, and the industrial revolution has only just begun. The equipment that looks like science fiction is actually the legacy of Tulip.

When food production is still dominated by homesteaders, it is very difficult for soldiers who want to get out of production. Regardless of the cost of daily necessities and other things, with the inefficiency of traditional farming methods, ten people can feed one soldier. It's already pretty good.

And the people who left the land cannot all be soldiers, some of them are soul masters. Some are officials and nobles, and some are craftsmen and merchants. Overall, it is good to have one soldier out of 20 people.

Relying on black technology, this number may be much more optimistic than 1/20, but half a million soldiers almost means that at least five million people must be supported. This number is extremely high even for a huge empire. It's heavy.

This is just for dinner.

Consider ordnance. The battleships in the sea, the airships in the sky. The manpower and material resources required to produce it are astronomical.

With the knowledge of these people who make a living by fishing on the beach, they really can't understand where these armies came from. All they could do was to run away and drive fishing boats to as many ports as possible near the mouth of the Cao River.

Those excellent ports must be occupied by these warships. An empire that only focuses on land has almost no navy. These warships can drive straight in. Ordinary fishermen have no intention of risking their lives to protect their country.

Among the invading warships, the one at the front was 1,300 meters long, which had almost reached the limit of warships. It was not that larger warships could not be built, but it was almost impractical. Well, the resistance of sea water will make the speed and flexibility of that kind of battleship extremely poor.

This 1,300-meter-long ship cannot even dock at the best deep-water port. It's impossible to let this guy drive in.

On the bow of the ship, nearly thirty meters above the water, a middle-aged man in a blue uniform stood there, his eyes staring at the moon that caused the tide.

"I guess you are part of this rising tide!" The man seemed to be saying to himself: "Everyone has left, saying they want to follow some real tulips.

I also understand you, everyone has been through wind and rain, and everyone knows that tulips bloom where the Duke is. But you! What do you think of the former people! "

When the man said this, he seemed a little excited. He clasped his fingers on the wooden fence and dented the fence. Sawdust pricked his hand, and blood flowed, but it did not heal immediately.

As a former senior executive of Tulip, it was very unusual that he was not injected with nanomachines. Generally, such people would be considered to have ideological problems, and it was almost impossible for people with ideological problems to be promoted to senior positions.

But he was different. His name was Montoya, and he was one of the first people to join Tulip, second only to the direct troops who sailed around the world with Cheng Ying. Later, due to his outstanding management skills, he was promoted step by step, from the logistics officer of the navigation support force. , step by step to become the governor of an overseas province.

Finally, under the recommendation of historical witness Chen Xi and a group of colleagues, he served as the highest governor of the American continent. During his tenure, he tried his best to mediate the conflicts between the indigenous people and the Tulip immigrants. I've done everything from throwing stones in the crowd.

It can be said that the natives of the New World were manipulated into the palm of their hands, so that they had to accept education, and then went to work in factories. During the period of power, it is not an exaggeration to describe the government as a leader.

If he had been given another ten years, the local aborigines might have been able to smoothly integrate into Tulip, a very inclusive group, and even because of the same skin color, there would have been no troublesome issues such as racial discrimination.

But time waited for no one, and before he could make any political achievements, the volcano erupted, and a global disaster swept the land. Although the New World was relatively far away from the two volcanoes, it still suffered heavy losses.

There were two ways out before him. First, leave with the Duke and abandon these natives. Tulip's immigrants were all sent away by heavy transport planes, and what was left here was just an empty shell.

Second, choose to stay and fend for yourself with the natives here. Without Tulip immigration and military suppression, the polished commander who stays here will have to face the anger of the natives. Even a fool knows how to choose.

Can……

But Montoya stayed. He had promised that the natives would get the citizenship of Tulip, and he had declared that he would treat them equally. Now he was asked to leave these people alone and fly away alone... He... did Less than...
