Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Chapter 742 The Significance of the Datang Style Air Force

The conversation between Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin was basically coming to an end this time.

As for the money spent on building an air force, the procedures required for recruiting troops, hehe, that's not what Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin need to care about.

Anyway, in Zhang Nuo's view, since Li Shimin didn't directly say he was embarrassed, it proved that Li Shimin was ready to pay for the airship.

Moreover, he was sure that Li Shimin's treasury could afford it. Even if it was difficult for the treasury to afford it, Lao Li, who had a big business now, would make up for it from his small treasury.

After all, Li Shimin knew the cost of an airship a long time ago, and now that he speaks like this, he is sure of it, so there is no need to question Lao Li's ability to pay.

Speaking of doubting whether a big man's wallet is thick enough, it's not a polite move, it's a bit contemptuous.

So Zhang Nuo didn't say anything at all, and the big deal was to wait for Lao Li to hold on when he couldn't hold on.

In fact, Zhang Nuo agreed to establish such an air force, on the one hand, perhaps because he wanted to further establish or find something he was familiar with in this era, and on the other hand, he also liked the efficient and fast maneuverability of this kind of airborne troops.

Zhang Nuo has already made clear his goal, he wants to conquer the whole world, truly spread the flag of Datang and his own footprints all over the world.

But if you rely on the navy alone, it is actually not enough!

After all, those three-masted sailing ships are enough to crush all the countries in the world, but for those countries that are deep inland, they can't sail the ships to land.

Moreover, as long as the city is a little farther away from the coastline, the navy will not be able to attack the city. Could it be that the sailors on the ship take their lives?

No matter what others think, at least Zhang Nuo is reluctant to part with it. You must know that compared with the army that will be built in the future, the navy is a well-known high-tech arm, and the real training time is much longer than that of the army.

As for those government soldiers who are still hanging out in the army, they are even more incomparable.

All sailors are proficient in reading and writing, and they are extremely fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing, and they also need to master relevant knowledge of sea navigation. These are the seedlings of future officers.

Therefore, if it was sacrificed in a sea war, it would be fine, at least it would be considered a well-deserved death, but if a good life was wasted in a siege without the support of naval guns, it would not be worth it.

But with the Air Force, it's different.

When Zhang Nuo heard that Li Shimin's team called the Air Force was actually an airborne force, the first thing that came to mind was not the parachute bags all over the sky, but the leapfrog tactic that he had seen in some military novel.

It seems that during World War II when the beautiful country was at sea, it was a tactic of using islands as bases, constantly jumping forward, gradually advancing the front line while reducing the opponent's strategic depth.

In Zhang Nuo's view, such a tactic is actually very suitable for the current Datang.

If Datang wants to launch a war against Fusang, then as long as an air force logistics supply base is established near the Tsushima Strait in Koryo, manpower and resources can be invested immediately to support the Fusang campaign.

This is not only as simple as the establishment of air supremacy, but also a logistics supply line for the rapid delivery of materials and personnel. As long as this line exists, energy will be continuously delivered directly from Korea to Fusang.

After all, the small strait between the two is not only ignored by the navy, but also by the air force. As long as they want to, they can cross over to attack at any time.

At that time, there will be naval artillery attacks on the sea, bombing from airships in the sky, and airborne troops, navy sailors, and army attacks transported by airships on the ground. As long as the bamboo armor and low city walls of those dwarfs can stop them It's strange to live.

It is even possible to drop artillery units directly across the sea. The navy is not good at transporting those cannons. After all, loading and unloading takes a lot of time, not to mention not much can be loaded, but the airship whose cargo door can be opened directly does not mind.

It was also thinking of these things that Zhang Nuo nodded and agreed to build an air force. Otherwise, with Zhang Nuo's lazy nature, he would not be bothered to build an air force.

After all, the airship doesn't need him to help, and a complete factory can be built in Pyongyang with a confession, and the military conscription and training can be left to other people.

Now his set of training methods is not a secret or magical thing. Even if they are not from the navy, many veterans trained by Zhang Nuo are very familiar with them, because they have also been trained by Zhang Nuo in this way.

With the military accomplishment of these people, they can serve as the instructors of the recruits, allowing them to quickly master some basic military skills. Within a short period of time, he will be trained to look like a soldier.

Therefore, after Zhang Nuo took over this errand, he could do nothing and leave it to his subordinates, but his sense of responsibility and ambition prevented him from doing so.

He is really lazy, and he really doesn't want to do these things repeatedly, but he is willing to worry about it for his own ideals and aspirations.

Of course, he's just a labor of heart at most, and the real hard work is still done by the subordinates. He just needs to take out the relevant regulations, and then go over and stare at them from time to time.

After all, even he, His Highness the King of Qin, has to go to work, so what's the deal?

However, after taking over this errand, Zhang Nuo also sighed a little, this stupid script is wrong, he clearly said that he should enjoy life to the fullest.

But this first was the conquest of Goryeo, then the Turks and Tubo fought all the way, then established the Pyongyang City Industrial Park to transfuse Datang, and then established the Navy to make up for the missing piece of Datang, completely from the loess to the sea, and now it is going to Create an air force.

What the hell is this called? Even with such a simple calculation, Zhang Nuo felt that he was too sorry for his title of nerd.

But for the sake of his own ideas, maybe it’s worth the hard work. After ten to twenty years, and looking back, he might not feel tired or depressed, but instead be proud of what he has done. .

Maybe his children were already grown up at that time, so he could talk about how wise and powerful his father was in front of them, much more powerful than his uncle the emperor!

Chapter 743 Construction Arrangement

The marines had to rest for a month, so naturally Zhang Nuo would also rest comfortably in Lantian City. Although this kind of idle life seemed a bit exhausting, it was really comfortable to live.

Not to mention anything else, going to bed early and getting up early every day, eating and drinking enough to be able to go for a walk in the street, and being able to hug his wife under the covers at night, this is really a kind of happiness for Zhang Nuo.

On the way, he made a trip back to Koryo, mainly to inspect his territory and arrange the construction of the airship factory at the same time.

This time he did not put the base on the side of Pyongyang City, because he felt that the current layout of Pyongyang is really big enough. A new-style port area can be built on the edge of the sea, and a main city that can radiate the lower half of the Koryo Peninsula can also be built.

The most important thing is that it was originally the location of a big city in Silla, which has its own foundation, and it is not too far from the current Pyongyang City. It is not particularly difficult to connect it by railway.

Of course, a bridge across the Han River has to be built in the middle, otherwise it's all nonsense.

Zhang Nuo also has no choice. At present, the heavy industry of the entire Tang Dynasty is concentrated on the Koryo Peninsula. To be precise, it is all concentrated in the territory of the original Koryo. Although there are resources here and the land is relatively fertile, the climate is not very good. .

On the contrary, Silla and Baekje, which were originally the most suitable for shipping development, have not developed, and the climate there is much better than above.

At this time, Zhang Nuo wanted to build a new port area of ​​the Koryo Peninsula through the construction of the Incheon New City, and gradually bring the development of the entire Koryo Peninsula.

And the construction of this Incheon new city will undoubtedly be based on the original old city, and then center on the airship base to be established, supplemented by other upstream and downstream industries at that time, to form an aviation city integrating production, education and research.
