Munitions Empire-Chapter 890 - Four Marshals 813

Chapter 890: Four Marshals 813 Chapter 890: Four Marshals 813 While the whole world was still popularizing various types of trucks, Great Tang Group had built a different kind of vehicle factory in Xicong.

This factory specialized in the production of vehicles referred to as “special vehicles,” characterized by their fierce appearance and powerful engines, typically having eight wheels or more, and exuding an aura of deterrence.

These special-purpose vehicles were thus called special vehicles. The first batch of these vehicles was custom-made for the Scud missiles.

The same chassis was used for some as Scud missile launchers, while others were used as refueling vehicles for liquid fuel.

In short, the Great Tang Empire had begun mass-producing the world’s first tactical ballistic missiles. Moreover, they started with a very mature model, with a high degree of completion.

The primary reason for choosing liquid fuel was that solid fuel was not mature and also expensive. In addition, Tang Mo was also considering the possibility of selling these weapons in the future.

A ground-to-ground missile with a range of 300 kilometers didn’t really have much impact, especially for military powerhouses. Missiles that required refueling with liquid fuel before launch were even less of a threat.

...

Tang Mo didn’t mind selling these missiles to countries like the Empire of Nanla and the Suthers Empire, as they had no means to make the missiles fly over the Endless Sea to hit the mainland of the Great Tang Empire.

However, before selling such weapons, Tang Mo would also conduct a risk assessment. After all, these weapons involved many high-tech fields, and caution was paramount before selling them.

And the new weapons of the Tang Country were far more than just Scud ballistic missiles. The engines for the legendary jet aircraft were also being secretly tested, and the advancement of the Tang Nation Air Force was absolutely unmistakable.

Tang Mo knew that if there were problems with air supremacy, he would be put on the defensive: the development of the Tang Country’s own anti-aircraft weapons was very delayed because the Tang Country had a reliable air force.

If they faced adversaries that the air force couldn’t handle, then the lack of ground-based air defense would become a fatal weakness for the Tang Army to be exploited by the enemy.

Tang Mo definitely did not want to reenact the tragedy of World War II, when Germany equipped nearly one hundred thousand anti-aircraft guns of various models and calibers.

Beyond jet engines, various types of new radar systems were also being equipped in the troops. This application of radio wave beams was very important for the foreseeable future, with no reason to halt development.

In short, Tang Mo was working hard to fit together each piece of the puzzle, attempting to combine these disparate technologies in the future to achieve the leap to informationization.

At the same time, the industry that had been sped up was solidifying its foundation under Tang Mo’s intentional efforts. There was no room for cutting corners; only by taking each step one at a time could they master the essence and accumulate experience for further progress.

Some things could be done with just a blueprint, while some experiences required the workers to fail and experiment time and time again.

This was a principle that Tang Mo had summed up in the course of practice, and it was also one of the important reasons why Tang Country’s technology could always crush other countries.

…

The couple Harry who had been working on Dragon Island were ordered to go to Dongwan, and Dino, who had been busy in Chang’an City, was sent to Dragon Island.

As one of Tang Mo’s three early apprentices, Dino had always dreamed of joining the military. Yet, contrary to his wishes, he had always been in charge of civil affairs and had to date had no experience in leading troops.

He had almost resigned himself to his fate. At most, he could mix in as a colonel in the military staff, but it was more realistic to be an honest mayor.

This was a normal personnel change, as well as a form of protection for officials: staying in one position for too long can easily lead to laziness and corruption, ruining an otherwise good official.

Therefore, officials in Great Tang were often rotated, and structurally, there was a large increase in the number of ethnic Chinese high-ranking officials.

This was determined by the demographic base: since the establishment of Great Tang on the Western Continent, the Chinese had become the absolute majority. Now, not only were Li’ao and Nangong Hong part of the upper echelons, but the military also had Qian Jinhang and General Feng Kezhi, along with Generals Bai Fei and Lu Qianshan.

A large number of middle management cadre had to be ethnic Chinese, with black-eyed and black-haired officials becoming increasingly common, while the original elite from the Brunas Era in the Great Tang Group was diminishing.

Even though the senior ranks of the Great Tang Empire were still mostly composed of the old Brunas faction, with time, this structure was bound to change.

Now, in the various cities’ governance, there were many Chinese officials; in the military, Chinese began to gradually assume roles as division commanders, and many more as regimental commanders.

At the grass-roots level, this was even more the case, with over ninety-five percent of the Tang Army now locally conscripted Chinese, while the population brought over from Brunas were now drowned in the vast sea of people.

Under such circumstances, Tang Mo promoted four Imperial Marshals in one go, all of whom were old members from Brunas. They were the Army Marshals Tagg, Luff, and Redman, and the Naval Marshal Bernard. At the same time, several generals were promoted to the rank of general, including Strauss and Bolton.

The Air Force, being a newer branch, did not yet have a marshal, but the sole Air Force general was also an old figure from Brunas, Ibrahim.

The Empire’s finance sector was still controlled by Princess Alice; the Empire Bank’s Van Kums and Finance Department’s Simon were old comrades who had followed Tang Mo for a long time.

The Empire’s domestic affairs were still under the control of Imperial Concubine Yulin, while other intelligence department heads like the bartender, and Tang Mo’s personal bodyguard Wes, had also been with him since the Brunas Era.

Prime Minister Roger went without saying. The industrial sectors’ Mathews and Parker, and the manager of the Great Tang Group Harry, along with four-fifths of Great Tang Empire’s high-ranking officers, were still so-called “Insiders from Seclusion” or “outsiders.”

It was clear that a message was being sent: His Majesty The Emperor had not forgotten his Dragon’s Vassals, those who had fought with him from early on were still the backbone of the Empire.

However, it was evident to everyone that the localization of the Great Tang Empire was unstoppable, with more Chinese emerging and taking on important positions in crucial roles.

Stimulated by the new system, these black-eyed, black-haired Chinese displayed their smart and hardworking qualities.

Eager to learn and full of wisdom, they were willing to embrace new things and compensated for their late start with almost frenzied diligence.

Although they hadn’t been exposed to advanced technology as early as their predecessors from Brunas, they learned very quickly.

Now, in many technical departments, there was a significant presence of Chinese technicians. Some even managed to catch up with their teachers in terms of skills, competing directly with their mentors for the position of chief engineer.

Competition had arisen, and some cracks began to appear. However, around Tang Mo, the strong founding Emperor, no one dared to openly call for division.

After all, the bigshots in the military were truly loyal to Tang Mo. The newly minted marshals, any one of them, would dare to die for His Majesty The Emperor.
