Chapter 1225 Some are happy, some are sad
The route for laying the steam locomotive tracks cannot be done by simply drawing two straight lines; it needs to be planned in combination with the actual environment.
For example, if they encountered a hill on the railway route, they certainly couldn't dig a tunnel directly under the mountain, they had to go around it.
And considering the possible landslides under certain weather conditions, they have to take a longer route, which will greatly increase the actual length of the railway.
In addition, if you want to lay railroad tracks, you will definitely need to prepare the ground. This work can be carried out in advance, rather than waiting until the official laying of railroad tracks to slowly carry out related work. In that case, the overall efficiency will be too low.
Zhou Xu is not a person who likes to pile up a lot of things together. He likes to do things in an organized, planned and efficient manner.
For him, if this is a project that will be launched next fall or even the year after, it is not an exaggeration to start the preparation work now. You know, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project! "Your Majesty, why doesn't this route go through the New South District? Going through Feiyan City and directly to the Plain Fortress, wouldn't it be possible to completely connect the military support routes of the New South District and the New North District?"
After writing down all of Zhou Xu's requests, Li Bowen raised a question.
In this regard, Zhou Xu directly stated...
"From the perspective of military support, letting the railway pass through Feiyan City is indeed the most efficient route, but after passing through Feiyan City, a large section of the railway is exposed on the periphery..."
Zhou Xu had undoubtedly thought about this issue carefully.
"Suppose a war breaks out in the Plain Fortress and a large enemy force attacks the outskirts of the Plain Fortress, when they are investigating the surrounding terrain, they will easily discover the existence of the outer railway, which will be dangerous."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.
"With the steam train, our internal support efficiency in the Great Zhou is already very high. There is no need to take this risk just to go faster."
"In addition, this route can also connect the transportation between the New South District and the New North District to a certain extent, and the overall cost-effectiveness is much higher."
Li Bowen is an internal affairs staff after all. People in different positions have different perspectives on a matter.
For example, if it’s a corner coffee shop, a businessman would think…
"This location is good. There are commercial streets on both sides. People are coming and going. The customer flow is guaranteed. When you get tired of shopping, you can come in and sit down. The business will definitely be good."
But if it were an officer who had been on the march and fighting for years, his thoughts would be...
"This is a good location. I can easily control the entire street by setting up two heavy machine guns here!"
Since you stand at different angles, your perspective on things will naturally be different. There is nothing much to say about this.
On this side, after Zhou Xu finished the work at hand, he naturally did not neglect his own cultivation.
In other words, cultivation was also his main focus during this period.
After finishing arranging all the things that needed to be arranged and everything was on track, he had fewer things to worry about. He handed over the daily government affairs to Huo Qubing and Li Bowen. During this period, Zhou Xu's focus naturally fell on cultivation.
Although as a wizard who has entered the holy realm, even if he is only a silver four-star, he is still very intimidating on the battlefield today, but in the previous brief confrontation with the Blood Hand Clan, he felt that he was somewhat powerless.
If Qiansui had not been summoned in time, the team would have collapsed.
This is obviously not what Zhou Xu wants to see, so he needs to become stronger.
Even if it is impossible to break through to the out-of-body realm directly in a short period of time, it is also good if you can be promoted to silver five stars.
If you encounter the same situation in the future, you will be more confident.
With this mentality, Zhou Xu has been practicing very hard recently, and his days are very fulfilling.
In comparison, Fisher has been having a rather difficult time recently.
I don't know what's going on with the slave rebels on the opposite side. They suddenly became stubborn. In the last few rounds of attacks, it can't be said that they suffered a defeat, but they didn't gain any advantage either.
After all, the advantage of city defense cannot be ignored.
The troops of the Rakshasa Republic, which had been in a panic because of the disadvantage, found out after successfully resisting the offensive of the black army led by Fisher that this battle was not as difficult as they had initially thought. Their self-confidence, which had originally been shaken, was suddenly strengthened, and they became more and more confident as the battle went on.
The slaves all have some hatred towards the dark-skinned people.
They were indeed afraid before. They felt terrified when they saw the dark-skinned people. There is nothing to say about that.
But as long as they are given opportunities and allowed to build up their self-confidence, each of them will definitely become an outstanding Avenger.
Listening to the latest battle report, Peter was thinking in his heart...
[The time should be about right. ]
Thinking of this, Peter looked up at Capal, another revolutionary army cadre standing in front of the table.
"Kapal, go and invite Lord Narga over."
Hearing this, Kapal suddenly became anxious.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to negotiate peace with those damned black people?"
Kapal obviously found it a little hard to accept. In the revolutionary army, he also belonged to a more extreme group.
"We are now able to resist their attack, as long as..."
"Only what?"
Peter interrupted Kapal directly.
"The reality is that we can only resist the attack of the black people. We can only rely on the advantage of the city wall to hide inside. We can't fight back at all. If the battle continues to stalemate, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation for both sides!"
Obviously, Peter has a clearer view of the current situation.
"At the same time, have you ever thought about what we should do if the greenskins attack us at this time?"
"If the greenskins attack us, the first ones to die will definitely be the blackskins outside."
Kapal said stubbornly.
Peter listened and nodded.
"Indeed, they will die first, and then it will be our turn next."
"We can ask for help from the Great Zhou and the Warrior Women Clan, just like they did before."
Kapal was clearly still unconvinced.
Peter felt helpless.
"Let's not talk about whether the Great Zhou and the Warrior Women are willing to support us. The siege strength of the greenskins is much higher than those of the blackskins. Are you sure we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive?"
Having said that, seeing that Kapal wanted to say something, Peter quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, Kapal, you should be more mature. Continuing to fight will not benefit either of us. We have evened the situation now. No one can do anything to anyone. For us, this is the best time to negotiate. Go and invite Lord Narga over. Don't make me say it a third time!"
At the end, Peter raised his tone. Capar opened his mouth twice, but finally bowed obediently and retreated.
"Yes, sir."
