Chapter 12: The Tide of Toxic Blast Lice
"Hit!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Da, da, da!
As the guards responsible for covering the evacuation of the people began to shoot, the small but extremely lethal poisonous lice exploded one after another. The green smoke formed by this could not only hinder the guards' line of sight from accurately shooting, but also the poisonous lice that were not blown up by the bullets would be healed by such poisonous smoke as long as they could move, and charge towards Zelun and his team at a faster speed.
In this regard, Zelun understood why Sennagu and his team would silently shed tears while looking at the bones of Sugui City. Even if Sennagu was a traitor, he was definitely not a cold-blooded official who betrayed the Rimai people and had no idea of the people.
He just wanted to make the Rimai people's country stronger by overthrowing the former corrupt royal family.
Even if his method was wrong, he still let the wolf into the house and caused such a monster invasion.
Therefore, as Zelen watched the soldiers outside setting up defense lines and fighting bravely against the monsters that came from nowhere, he couldn't help but look at the Saiga semi-automatic rifle in his hand.
Although the lever rifle is an important symbol of the historical tradition of the Rimai people, the semi-automatic rifle with more powerful firepower and even the more powerful assault rifle are definitely the weapons and equipment he must have now and in the future.
Moreover, the Rimai people are not a race destined to be beaten, nor are they a race without wise ministers and generals. The soldiers in front of him who still stick to their posts and cover the evacuation of the people are the best proof.
For this reason, while the soldiers can still hold on, Zelen found a place to sit down and do a simple record of the Saiga semi-automatic rifle. After all, the Rimai people today are not the ancestors who only used cold weapons to fight a thousand years ago. They have long known how to make guns and cannons, and they even know how to fight modern beyond-visual-range warfare.
However, compared to these, since the newly established Krurod Empire lacked everything, Zelen did not care about the consequences of trying to imitate rifles not produced in his own country.
Everything is for survival, and only by surviving can you be qualified to talk about other things.
Especially now that the Japanese are facing various enemies, he, as the emperor, does not have the time and conditions to enjoy it.
What's more, he has handed over a lot of power to the Congress and became a monarch under the constitutional monarchy system.
Natalie: "Zelen, what are you doing..."
Zelen: "Help me measure its length and weight. By the way, Nathalie, always pay attention to the poisonous explosive lice outside. If you really can't stand it, tell me immediately."
Nathalie: "Yes."
The more the people are evacuating in the last round, Zelen really doesn't want to become a "traitor" who abandons the people.
No matter who becomes the emperor of the Japanese, abandoning the people of his country is equivalent to suicide. Not to mention that the people's trust in the emperor is gone, Zelen's grandfather is an excellent example-after being shot, he was paraded in the streets.
For this reason, Zelen was a little panicked, but as His Majesty the Emperor, he couldn't leave at least for now.
Of course, compared to his performance of being able to sit at the dock, every citizen who left Semeru Island couldn't help but burst into tears.
The reason why they supported Senagu and his party to launch a coup and establish the Republic of Pao was because Zelen's grandfather, Emperor Nether, was a tyrant who was aggressive, levied heavy taxes, and assassinated the prime minister.
Now as the grandson of Emperor Nether, Zelen's performance of dismantling guns in a leisurely manner proved the huge difference between him and Emperor Nether.
At the very least, this Emperor Zelen would treat these people as his own family, instead of being like Emperor Nether, who levied heavy taxes for his ambition to conquer the world and didn't care about the lives of the people at all.
At the same time, Mac nodded to the people under his command. He was also a passionate young man in the past, and he wanted to change the old empire, but now he has returned to the starting point and raised the flag of monarchy again.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he still realized a fact.
The Japanese, who originally established a monarchy, always found it difficult to break away from the banner of monarchy.
Especially the emperor in front of him, Dai Beatrice Zelen, who was a real tough guy.
A tough guy who inherited his father's ideas and also wanted to reform.
In short, Zelen watched Natalie calculate that the Saiga semi-automatic rifle was 1100 mm long, the barrel was 554 mm long, the empty weight was 3.77 kg, and it had 10 rounds of ammunition. He wished he could copy the gun.
However, he now knew that the Krurod Empire lacked everything, especially manpower. But when he looked up, the flood of poisonous blast lice all over the mountains and plains did not stop their pace.
The tragic death of their companions who were knocked down by bullets and immediately exploded did not make the poisonous blast lice feel any fear at all, let alone make obvious wails. The scene of charging towards the rain of bullets in front made Zelen begin to understand why Sennagu and his men could not stop them, causing one town after another to fall.
Since their birth, the Japanese have never faced such an opponent who would never surrender and would fight to the death no matter how heavy the casualties were.
Even though the Rimai people have been their absolute mortal enemy since ancient times, they have the same bloodline as them and were the ones who gave birth to them. The demons are a group of cunning guys who know what is impossible and immediately gather their remaining troops to retreat.
Compared with these poisonous blast lice, the demons are easy to deal with.
Although the wisdom of the demons is obviously not low.
Lux: "The last batch of people have all boarded the ship."
Zelen: "Retreat."
Lux: "Understood."
Although Zelen himself was very reluctant, facing the poisonous blast lice that could not be killed no matter how hard he tried, he realized that the Krurod Empire needed a weapon that could quickly clear a large number of opponents.
For this reason, on the way back, Zelen began to recall what kind of equipment the Krurod Empire had before he was frozen, when it was still in its heyday.
Zelen: "Paula, how many cannons and missiles do we have? We need a lot, a lot."
Paula: "You mean cannons and missiles? That requires the help of the Liaolu Party. As far as we are at present, long-range artillery... at most mortars. More advanced things... at least I don't have the equipment to produce them here."
When Zelen returned to his personal room in Sugui City, he heard a new term from Paula, a term that made him very confused about how to describe it.
Liaolu Party.
Because the Liaolu Party, as a party formed by Bingyang before the establishment of the Krurod Empire, is famous for the manufacture and research and development of weapons and equipment. Therefore, Zelen cannot give up this force.
And this force has a very famous arms dealer company, Siwei Company.
That's right, although it has always been suppressed by Ruger Company in the industry competition among domestic arms dealers; but this Siwei Company is the largest funder of the Liaolu Party, and it is also the base camp of the members of the Liaolu Party.
The two are mutually reinforcing, and even for a long time, the boss of Siwei Company himself, or the boss's brother, was the leader of the Liaoskull Party.
It's just that during the reign of Zelun's grandfather, Emperor Naiser, the Liaoskull Party had long been suppressed by Emperor Naiser because they often needed funds for scientific and technological research and development, and there was no sound. So much so that in order to survive, they sold a large number of weapons and equipment to foreign countries in the form of black markets to earn enough funds.
Regarding this, Zelun himself has a headache. Although these experts in scientific research rarely have anything to do with politics, it is precisely because of their efforts that the Krurod Empire has completely bid farewell to the cold weapon era and entered the firearm era with the participation of radio technology.
It seems that he has to think about how to pull them back who were suppressed by his grandfather and dared not speak out. Otherwise, how can he study the items left by the pig-headed man or other enemies, and discover the secrets inside them for the construction of the Krurod Empire?
