Chapter 198 Steam Troop Carrier! Conquer India! (Ch 198)

[As early as when Ji Changxi manufactured cars. ]
【Chen Huaixin had thought about the steam chariot.】
【because.】
【This thing.】
【Relying on Yuguo’s current national strength. 】
[It can be manufactured! ]
【“Or rather.”】
“It just replaced the engine with a steam engine.”
[“As for the rest, there is not much difference.”]
[“At most, the speed will be slightly slower.”]
【This is what Chen Huaixin thought at the time. 】
【only.】
【Whether it is him. 】
[It’s still Ji Changxi. 】
[I have been busy with other work.]
[He did not turn this idea into reality! ]
【“And now.”】
【“This matter.”】
[“Actually, there’s no need for that.”]
[“After all, our Yu country’s military is strong.”]
[“The difference between having a steam chariot and not having one is not very great.”]
[“But it is very necessary to manufacture steam troop carriers and steam special terrain transport vehicles!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
【The current strength of the Yu Kingdom army. 】
[Just a charge can cause most armies to collapse. ]
[Owning a steam chariot would at most accelerate the speed of collapse. ]
[Yes or no. ]
【It’s not the key! 】
【but.】
[The Steam Troop Carrier is different! ]
[If the steam chariot’s ability to travel on rough terrain is transplanted to the steam troop carrier. ]
[Then it won’t be that difficult for Yu Nation to march on a large scale and cross this desolate area of ​​the Western Regions! ]
【“As for logistics.”】
[“It can also be done with a steam troop carrier!”]
[“At a time when the railway cannot reach the western regions.”]
[“The significance of the steam troop carrier is enormous, even for our country!”]
[“If it can be manufactured, our Yu country will no longer have to worry about marching and logistics!”]
【A smile appeared on Chen Huaixin’s face.】
[Of course he knows.]
【It’s just a steam troop carrier.】
[It is not enough to completely solve the problems of marching and logistics. ]
[Steam train is the best solution to this problem! ]
【but.】
【In a short time.】
【The tracks can’t be built that fast.】
[Then the steam troop carrier is the best substitute! ]
【“At least.”】
[“To a great extent.”]
[“Relieve the coach’s pressure!”]
【Chen Huaixin made a decision.】
[He told the Minister of War not to rush the march and let the soldiers continue their training.]
[He quickly found Ji Changxi and discussed with her about the steam troop carrier.]
【Then.】
【He reaped the rewards.】
【Ji Changxi rolled his eyes.】
[“The super miracle drug you want.”]
[“I just got a clue.”]
[“Now let me put it aside for a while.”]
[“To build this so-called steam troop carrier?”]
【Ji Changxi sighed.】
[She felt that Chen Huaixin really regarded her as omnipotent.]
[Although, in this matter, she can really do it easily. ]
[Because the so-called steam troop carrier is just an improved version of the car in her opinion! ]
[“As long as it is improved to be more suitable for the environment of the Western Region.”]
[“It allows it to travel in desolate areas without worrying about falling apart.”]
[“And increase its transportation space.”]
[“Let more soldiers be able to ride.”]
[“Can this be called a steam troop carrier?”]
[Ji Changxi picked out the key words.]
【And it is not difficult to achieve this. 】
【Use better steel and better materials to construct the shell. 】
[The only problem is that the wheels are made of rubber, which makes it difficult to drive in the Western Regions. In other words, the tires have to be replaced every time they are driven for a period of time.]
【”so.”】
[“What I want to study.”]
“Just the tires.”
[“As for the rest…”]
[“It is used to transport soldiers and logistical supplies.”]
[“You don’t have to make it particularly good.”]
【Ji Changxi expressed his thoughts. 】
【Chen Huaixin also suddenly reacted.】
[My original intention to manufacture a steam troop carrier according to the method of building a steam chariot is completely unnecessary! ]
[Because this vehicle does not need to go to the battlefield, it only needs to transport soldiers to their destination! ]
【in this way.】
[Many aspects do not require in-depth research and manufacturing! 】
[As long as it can travel in the Western Region and as long as the transport space is large enough, it can be called a qualified troop carrier! ]
[“As for the tires that Ji Changxi is considering, it seems that there is no need to study them.”]
[“Just make the tracks according to the knowledge in your mind.”]
[“The only drawback.”]
[“The soldiers who ride in this car have to endure the fumes of steam.”]
[“But compared to that long march, this is already very easy!”]
【A smile appeared on Chen Huaixin’s face.】
【After Ji Changxi finished listening to his explanation. 】
[The originally uninterested face suddenly showed a hint of curiosity. ]
[“If it is manufactured.”]
【“The war of the future.”】
[“I’m afraid we’re going to change it again!”]
…
In the Golden Palace.
Look at the deduced future.
The soldiers opened their eyes wide.
“Steam chariot? Steam troop carrier? What new thing is this?”
“Can it travel over rough terrain and carry people through the Western Regions?”
“Wow! If this is true, then wouldn’t the army’s marching and logistics be much simpler in the future?”
“No need to worry about how far the soldiers can march, or where to camp at night.”
“We only need to rely on steam troop carriers to send the soldiers directly to the nearest city!”
“While the enemy was still exhausted from their journey, they had already eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to go!”
“Who can defeat Yuguo?!”
The voices of Chengguo’s generals were full of shock.
Although.
They haven’t seen it yet.
The so-called steam troop carrier.
But combined with the previous cars.
This should be an enhanced version of the car that can travel in the Western Regions and transport more people!
At the thought of it.
The future of Yuguo.
They could rely on steam troop carriers.
Transport large numbers of soldiers who are full of energy and spirits to the battlefield.
Their eyes are full of envy and jealousy!
As a general.
They know it very well.
The soldiers under your command do not have to endure the fatigue of marching and can reach the battlefield directly. What a huge advantage this is!
“Although.”
“The steam troop carrier.”
“It might not be very comfortable to sit on and it might be covered in smoke.”
“But compared to walking, this is like heaven and earth!”
“Chen Huaixin and His Highness Ji Changxi… have really changed the form of the war again!”
The generals’ faces were filled with complicated expressions.
Before.
The earth-shaking things, hot air balloons, muskets, new military positions, etc. that were born in Yuguo have already subverted the traditional form of warfare and the army.
And now this new invention is going to change the previous marching and logistics methods!
Faced with this brand new army that is different from any other country, Rome has no choice but to fight them head on!
“This is totally a professionally trained adult trying to fight with a child!”
A general spoke up.
He didn’t know what this new army should be called, but he knew very well that this Yu Army, which was different from traditional armies from head to toe, was definitely not something other countries could contend with!
“The fact that they were able to hold out for a month shows how powerful the elite Roman troops are.”
Another general shook his head and said.
And when the generals were sighing.
As the prime minister, Wang Qianhe has a more far-reaching vision.
“The potential of Yuguo.”
“It’s really scary.”
“As long as it’s a problem that’s discovered.”
“Improvements and improvements can be made immediately.”
“This is not a contest between armies, but a competition between national strengths!”
Looking at the moving Yuguo, Wang Qianhe took a deep breath.
For the so-called war of empires.
He has seen the end now.
“That European continent.”
“I am afraid.”
“They will be crushed by Yu Jun!”
…
[Twelfth month of the 26th year of Jingping.]
【With the help of Chen Huaixin. 】
[Ji Changxi only spent three months. ]
[So the steam troop carrier was manufactured.]
【”because.”】
[“This isn’t difficult at all!”]
[“I just sent you my original research materials.”]
[“Just take it out for remanufacturing!”]
[Ji Changxi’s face was very calm.]
【Before.】
【When manufacturing cars. 】
[The first thing she invented was a car that was very large, comparable to a steam locomotive.]
[If Chen Huaixin hadn’t told her later that this thing should be driven on the streets of Chang’an City, there was no need to make it so big, and she wouldn’t have shrunk it.]
【And now. 】
【There is no such restriction. 】
[It only needs to be able to ensure its stability when driving in the Western Region. ]
[It doesn’t matter how big it is – it’s used to transport troops and logistical supplies anyway, a bigger one can actually transport more! ]
【even.】
【You can say that.】
【If you don’t want to study crawler tracks. 】
[She can manufacture it directly without even needing three months! ]
【“If there is nothing wrong.”】
[“Just find someone to manufacture it according to my drawings.”]
[“I will go back and continue to study the super miracle drug you mentioned.”]
[After Ji Changxi lost interest, he stopped caring about this matter.]
[The Minister of War next to him was filled with excitement when he saw this steam troop carrier that was slightly larger than a steam locomotive! ]
He knows very well.
[What is the use of this steam troop carrier? ]
[The commander-in-chief was most worried about the march and logistics, but they were solved by His Majesty and His Highness Ji Changxi! ]
【“Three months.”】
【“You can come up with this kind of invention.”】
[“Your Majesty and His Highness Ji Changxi’s talents and knowledge…are simply astonishing!”]
[This is not the first time that the Minister of War has expressed such admiration.]
[And under the curious gaze of the generals. ]
[This steam troop carrier also began experimenting. ]
[Although the black smoke blocked some of the vision, it also allowed everyone in the car to smell the odor, and due to the bumpy road, the riding experience was very poor. ]
[But whether it was the Minister of War or the generals, they all had smiles on their faces! ]
[Because compared to walking on foot, being able to sit in a car is already a blessing! ]
[What more riding experience do you want? ]
【”His Majesty.”】
【“I suggest.”】
[“Mass production of steam troop carriers!”]
[“From now on, it will be a hundred times easier for our country to fight foreign wars than it is now!”]
[The Minister of War said to Chen Huaixin very decisively.]
[And because steam troop carriers are definitely faster than walking, as long as there are enough of them, the territory that Yuguo can control in the future will be much larger than it is now! ]
【Chen Huaixin did not refuse.】
【This was his original intention.】
[“I will have people speed up the production of steam troop carriers.”]
【“Now.”】
【“The first batch of soldiers.”】
[“We can now set off for the Western Border.”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the ministers in front of him. 】
[This immediately made everyone understand.]
[“Western Expedition…”]
[“It’s getting started!”]
…
[January, the 27th year of Jingping.]
【When celebrating the New Year in Yuguo. 】
【When Yu’s army began its westward expedition. 】
【The distant Indian continent. 】
【And also welcomed their true master! 】
【The Yu Army cavalry that was sent out. 】
It took six years.
【Finally arrived at this continent! 】
【“The monk at that time.”】
[“It took him ten years.”]
[“I traveled back and forth between Yu Country and India.”]
[“Now it takes us six years to reach this damn place!”]
[The leading general sighed.]
[Of course he knows.]
【It is impossible to march all the time. 】
【So it takes longer. 】
[But it took so long to get here. How long will it take to return to Dayu after completing His Majesty’s instructions? ]
【“The sun.”】
[“It’s not closer than Dayu, right?”]
[The leading general glanced at the sun in the sky.]
【but.】
He didn’t feel helpless.
【Because when accepting this task. 】
[He knew that he would probably never be able to return to Dayu in his lifetime.]
[Even if your majesty has instructed us to just eat the economy without managing it, we still have to send people to be stationed here! ]
“General.”
【”don’t worry.”】
[“Wait for us to be stationed in India.”]
【“Wait until the ship arrives here.”】
[“If we want to go back in the future, we only need to take a steam treasure ship, which will take at most one or two years.”]
[The deputy saw the general’s thoughts and spoke up.]
[The general shook his head and threw those distracting thoughts out of his mind.]
[He looked ahead, at the well-built city, and a sneer appeared on his face.]
[“Let’s start by conquering this city.”]
【”conquer……”】
“All of India!”
