In just half a year, John had built up an army of 550,000 soldiers.
During those six months, artillery technology also advanced by leaps and bounds.
A brand-new cannon had been developed, one whose range completely surpassed every existing piece of artillery.
It was called the Super High-Angle Cannon.
And it had already entered mass production.
With the Super High-Angle Cannons equipped, John's fleet finally possessed the ability to bombard enemies from extreme range.
Enemy artillery simply couldn't reach his ships.
Another three months passed.
By then, the academies had trained a total of 1.85 million students, instantly swelling John's total military strength to 2.75 million troops.
At the same time, his shipbuilding program had produced—
50,000 small assault boats.
5,000 medium-sized warships.
3,142 large warships.
And an astonishing 25 battleships.
Even more importantly, around 20,000 Super High-Angle Cannons had already been deployed.
