Sailing Plan to Kalimantan Island
In a future war, one would need to use hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if one had all the barongs in Gresik, it would also not be enough. Therefore, Heru Cokro has decided to build a stables to plan for the future.
Of course, it's just a backup solution. It helps alleviate the problem but does not solve it. The best method is to find another mount.
For this method, Heru Cokro has some ideas. In his last life, he recalled some superior mount production areas. As long as the time was right, he could overcome the shortage of mounts in the army.
For now, it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Gayatri Rajapatni understands the difficult situation. He said the change of war mounts could be slowed because the Maya Fortress Estianti became a top priority. So, they solved this problem for now.
Another thing that worries Heru Cokro is the Pantura Shipyard.
When Heru Cokro gave them a shipbuilding guide, he instructed them to immediately make a ship, as he was in dire need of a ship.
They fulfilled his expectations. On January 15, after hundreds of blacksmiths and workers at the shipyard rushed day and night, they built the first tower ship, which was ready to enter the water.
When Heru Cokro received the news, he personally rushed to Pantura to witness the moment.
In addition to Heru Cokro, the special counsel of the Shipyard Heryamin, Wakidi, and Joko Tingkir are all on the dock. Raden Partajumena and Gajah Mada were busy with the affairs of the army, so they could not come along. Otherwise, they would definitely not miss this opportunity.
Pantura Shipyard is right next to Pantura Pier. There are two large-scale piers and more than ten medium-sized piers.
The first tower ship was at one of the large-scale docks, while waiting to enter the water.
The giant boat was over five stories tall and could carry three thousand people. Not only did it have a menacing outer appearance, the boat also had a spear and flag. It had the ability to attack and defend like a castle on the water. The head of the boat has an iron tip that sailors can use to hit other ships. It also has a hard steering so it will never go off track.
As expected, the small tower ship also made use of watertight bulkhead technology.
On both sides of the small tower ship, there were six cliffs.
The clapper pole was used to hit enemy ships. It is about five arms long and consists of pillars, crosses, and giant stones and pottery tied to the head. The pillar helped prop up the cross and let it swing and hit the enemy ship with a giant rock. The rope connects the potter to the cross. Thus, one can manually twist it to pull the cross post and lift the giant stone.
Such weapons of destruction were the nightmare of enemy ships before the birth of cannons.
If not for the time constraints, Heryamin would have wanted to modify the small tower ship to make it even scarier. Successfully making an old ship certainly makes ship specialists like Heryamin emotional.
As for the efficiency of Heryamin, Heru Cokro was very pleased.
Of course, the small tower ship was imperfect and flawless, it also had its weaknesses.
Its weakness is too high and unstable, so its ability to withstand waves is weak. Therefore, it is suitable for combat in nearby rivers or seas, but not suitable for long-distance travel.
Otherwise, the storm could overturn the entire tower of the ship.
Wakidi, who was beside Heru Cokro, decided to test the water when she saw the Regent very pleased, "Rupati, please name the tower ship!"
Heru Cokro was actually very happy, so he smiled, "The symbol of the region is the sun, so this first boat will be called Vahana Surya."
“Good name!” Heryamin interfered and laughed, "it's profitable!"
Heru Cokro nodded. Vahana Surya will be its mainstay, and follow it to the sea, “Kapten Wakidi, immediately complete the relevant functions and features of Vahana Surya. A few days later, I'll sail.”
"Your Majesty!" Wakidi froze, he did not expect the Regent to be so hasty. It seemed like he needed to get the blacksmiths to work overtime for a few days. One should know that a large number of features and facilities should be added to large-scale ships.
Heru Cokro looked at Joko Tingkir, "Admiral Joko Tingkir, Armada Pantura will follow us to the sea."
"What's your goal?" Joko Tingkir was confused.
Heru Cokro smiled mysteriously, "Island of Borneo."
The island of Borneo in the game is a utopia and is also another strategic location planned by Heru Cokro.
After the game map was expanded ninefold, the size of Kalimantan Island reached 6,689,970 square kilometers, almost 6 times larger than Java Island which has an area of 1,154,511 square kilometers. Kalimantan Island is the 2nd largest island in Indonesia and is the 3rd largest island in the world.
Part of the island in the north, is land belonging to Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, to the west are the Riau Islands, Singapore and Malaysia, to the east is Sulawesi Island.
Choosing Borneo is a big risk for Heru Cokro.
This is because on the island of Borneo live the Dayak Tribe, Giant Race, Banjar Tribe, Agabag Tribe, Punan Tribe, Kutai Tribe, Kutai Tribe and many other small tribes, as well as many other small tribes, among them the Dayak Tribe which has the longest history. These natives mostly congregate in South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and North Kalimantan.
Choosing Borneo means he must immediately face the threat of the natives.
In the last life, based on what Heru Cokro obtained from the forum, the lucky players who survived on the island built their territory in the north and east of the island, because that was where the Kutai Tribe gathered.
On January 16, the second year of Vishnu, Manor Regent.
Heru Cokro gathered 4 directors and Raden Partajumena for the meeting.
“2 days later, I will lead the Paspam Regiment and Pantura Navy fleet to sea, I predict that it will only return around the eve of Lunar New Year or right before the eve of Saka new year. As for the territory issue, I will leave it to all of you to discuss and resolve it together.”
As Heru Cokro said those words, they were all shocked.
The newly appointed director of military affairs of Gajah Mada was confused. The situation of the grasslands was getting serious and intense, a war could break out at any moment. In this kind of situation, master still wants to leave, how not to drive him crazy?
Raden Partajumena was not affected. When he was in Dwarawati Kingdom, he was used to controlling everything, and as long as the master gave him enough strength, he would be able to do a good job in leading the battle.
