Chapter 1653 Calm Belt Transfer Station (Part )
There was an undeniable dignity in his voice.
Charlotte's words were like a reassurance, making Barrett feel a little more at ease.
However, the uneasiness in his heart did not completely dissipate.
Charlotte seemed to see through Barrett's thoughts, smiled slightly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have confidence in you."
Then, he changed the subject and asked, "How many sea trains have been built now?"
After saying that, he walked towards the beach.
Barrett quickly followed and reported: "Three main lines have been built. These three main lines connect the New World and the North Sea. There are also thirteen branch lines, which are responsible for connecting the three main lines and transporting materials to the transfer stations. In addition, two more main lines are being laid."
Charlotte nodded slightly to show her understanding.
He then asked: "So what is the situation with transportation capacity?"
Barrett smiled bitterly and replied helplessly: "The pressure is too great. Currently, there are three main lines connecting the New World and the North Sea that are operating day and night, but even so, there are still a lot of materials piled up in the New World and cannot be transported to the front in time. The transportation speed of the sea track is already quite time-consuming, and the track material is made of seastone, which makes the transportation speed even slower. It took us a whole year to build a main road. Since the construction started in 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar, we have only completed three main lines. Fortunately, with the continuous improvement of technology, the Rockefeller Kingdom is now able to build two main lines at the same time. The two main lines that have not yet been completed are expected to be completed in another four months!"
After listening to Barrett's report, Charlotte couldn't help but frown and sighed with worry: "It's so slow!"
He secretly calculated in his mind that there was only half a year left before the troops were dispatched, and within this half year, at most only five main lines could be connected, which was far from enough for the transportation of supplies.
Based on the current transportation capacity, one trunk line can transport all the supplies needed by 20,000 troops in one month.
Then the five main lines combined can only meet the transportation needs of an army of 100,000.
Although Charlotte can also use transport ships for round-trip transportation, this method is not as convenient and efficient as the sea train.
In addition, the two abilities of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit and the Door-Door Fruit cannot support large-scale material transportation tasks.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we must start from the actual situation and find other feasible solutions.
"The five main lines can only support the supplies needed by a hundred thousand troops at most. Adding the supplies transported by transport ships, they can transport the supplies needed by a hundred thousand troops in about a month!"
Charlotte rubbed her chin with her hand as she thought.
However, after some careful consideration, Charlotte found that this number was still far from enough.
Once the war breaks out, the demand for supplies on the front line will inevitably increase dramatically. Even if the strategy of "feeding the enemy" is adopted, it can only last for one or two months at most.
Moreover, due to the ravages of war, the local economy will inevitably be severely damaged and will be unable to meet the material needs of the front line.
Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but frowned.
"No, this is still too little! We must build at least three more trunk lines in the next year to closely connect the New World with the North Sea. Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Charlotte said.
Hearing this, Barrett showed a bitter smile on his face.
He frowned slightly and said to His Majesty worriedly: "Your Majesty, building a sea train is not an easy task. From collecting materials to casting, and then to the final laying, each link requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Moreover, this is just the construction workload for one sea train. If you want to build three at the same time, the number of workers required is simply an astronomical figure!"
Barrett paused for a moment, then continued, "According to my estimate, building one sea train would require at least 300,000 workers. If we want three, wouldn't that mean nearly a million people would be involved? How could the World Government not notice such a large-scale operation?"
There was clear worry in his tone.
There are many reasons why progress has been so slow.
First of all, the construction difficulty of the sea train is indeed beyond imagination.
To build a sturdy and durable railway on the rough sea, it is necessary not only to overcome the harsh natural environment, but also to solve many technical problems. This makes the progress of the project extremely difficult, and every step needs to be carefully planned and implemented.
However, the more important reason is that they dare not be too ostentatious.
After all, the world government is powerful and has spies all over the world.
If they find out about Charlotte's plan, all previous efforts will be in vain, and may even lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, Charlotte must be careful and try to avoid attracting the attention of the world government.
Charlotte knew this very well, so he decided to adopt a sneak attack strategy.
He planned to take advantage of the time difference and launch a quick attack before the World Government noticed.
As a result, by the time the World Government realizes Charlotte's actions, it is already too late and they are unable to respond effectively in time.
Charlotte knew that once he took action, the navy would definitely receive the news and quickly assemble troops.
But it will take at least one or two months from the naval assembly to the arrival of the North Sea by ship.
During this time, Charlotte had plenty of time to implement his plan and gain more advantages.
Of course, Charlotte cannot completely rule out the possibility that the generals will take the lead.
However, the Rockefeller Empire is not completely defenseless.
They have a group of powerful masters who can compete with the generals and buy more time for the arrival of the army.
In just two months, the Rockefeller Kingdom's army demonstrated amazing combat effectiveness and strategic wisdom. They quickly captured half of the North Sea with tremendous force.
This feat not only shocked the world, but also brought huge strategic advantages to the Rockefeller Kingdom.
At this time, the key challenge facing the Rockefeller Kingdom is how to withstand the first wave of fierce attacks from the world government and navy.
Once it successfully resists this wave of attacks, the Rockefeller Kingdom will be able to use the occupied half of the North Sea to establish a solid defensive position and consolidate the newly conquered territory.
By resuming production, the Rockefeller Kingdom would be able to relieve the material pressure on the New World and be fully prepared for a long-term confrontation.
