Chapter 183 Do We Really Have to Go Back?

Compared to the deal prepared by Lisen and his team, Zelen heard that the army was reluctant to give up the 20mm caliber machine guns and hoped that the beam weapons could be smaller and less heat-dissipating.

Zelen was also very helpless about this.

The soldiers really wished that the weapons and equipment in their hands had no weight.

However, he also received a collective opinion letter from the Ministry of Defense officials and logistics officers in the palace.

The content above is very simple. The traditional machine guns use traditional internal energy loading and firing mechanisms, without additional energy consumption, and only require the simplest electric shock or pressure to fire. Therefore, the officer in charge of logistics did not shy away from saying in the opinion letter that the 20mm caliber machine guns would be restored, and he also hoped that the troops would not blindly pursue overly advanced weapons and equipment to avoid increasing the burden of logistics maintenance.

Bourne: "That's the thing."

Looking at the extremely embarrassed expression of the Minister of Defense in front of him, Zelen himself was very bitter.

The soldiers below and the officials above "fought" again.

Zelen: "Alas! How should I put it? The pig-headed people have already developed the wave energy weapon system, and we...ah...right! We still don't have the ability to fully analyze their technology, but this doesn't mean that we have to give up the pursuit of developing science and technology. It's rare to have a case in front of us, and we don't take this case as a learning object...So, Minister Hollitt, what do you think?"

Bourne: "In fact, in my opinion, I agree with the officials. Of course, there is a very important reason here, money. We are short of money."

Zelen: "Indeed. So we only have a special mecha unit as a sharp blade for raids and a scientific research experimental field for the army."

Bourne En: "Beam weapons are expensive and require certain maintenance. At the same time, the complex structure and the problem of being easily damaged during combat have always been the difficulties faced by the logistics department for a long time. But looking at the combat reports of the entire Pig-headed Army using wave energy weapons and firing blue and white light bullets, I am also very confused."

Zeren: "Because the Pig-headed weapons and equipment perform well."

Bourne: "Yes. At least including Your Majesty, many senior generals have such an understanding. We even have soldiers who can learn without a teacher and fully master the technology of how to use all the weapons and equipment of the Pig-headed People."

Zeren: "It seems that our country's education is really good."

Bourne: "So Your Majesty, I ...My suggestion is that if there are not too many war vehicles that need energy to ensure energy shields, try not to equip beam weapons, and continue to use traditional machine guns as one of the main equipment. Of course, this does not mean to abolish beam weapons, but to use good steel on the blade. "

Zeren: "Only elite troops are allowed to equip beam weapons."

Bourne: "Not only that, my idea is whether the beam gate machine gun can be enlarged to attack targets beyond 3,000 meters."

Zeren: "Like the 37mm caliber machine gun of the Holy Church?"

Bourne: "Yes."

Zeren: "Well. I won't interfere with this, you can talk to the arsenal."

Bourne: "Then your Majesty's Linmington weapons Company..."

Zeren: "I have to provide technical maintenance and necessary guarantees for the regeneration room. And now the arsenals responsible for the development of beam gates are mainly Savanchi Weapons Company and Ruger Company, especially Savanchi Weapons Company. Their economic situation is average and they don't have enough deposits. You can't let them agree to your request easily. "

Bourne: "I know about this, but Savanchi Weapons Company... Your Majesty, don't they have a close relationship with Linmington Weapons Company?"

Zeren: "That was in the past, not now. They were good partners in the past, and now they have not changed the confrontation between the two sides because of their past cooperation. "

Speaking of this, Zelen is helpless.

The families behind the scenes of the two companies have a common father. In a sense, they actually have obvious kinship. But that was hundreds of years ago, when their companies were under the shadow of Ruger Company and had to form an alliance of interests. And ironically, the alliance at that time was concluded in the form of the two families sending their daughters to marry a husband together. After the husband left, such an alliance naturally drifted away until the current breakup.

No way.

Problem of interests.

This is a problem that cannot be easily solved.

Especially when both of their families are engaged in the arms dealer industry as a legal way to make money.

Even if it is not a country, the interests between companies are not much simpler than national interests. After all, no one in the world is really stupid enough to think that all the problems in the world can be solved by eloquence.

At least the pig-headed people in the north not only have their own independent language system, but also their own independent social culture. These guys who starved the Japanese and sent prisoners of war into biochemical reactors to generate electricity seem to be objects that can be persuaded with words?

It’s good that they didn’t chop you alive with a thermal knife or tie you to a cannon and shoot you out.

Bourne: "Hmm..."

Zeren: "You are the Minister of Defense, they won’t give you face."

Bourne: "Okay. Then the next thing... basically nothing."

Zelen: "If there is no other way, talk to other officials. Although I know that there must be a lot of quarrels between you, your opponents often know your situation best."

Byrne: "Yes."

After sending away Bourne, the Minister of Defense, Zelen sat on his bench with a tired look on his face, while Natalie and Nathalie, who were specially waiting for him, came to him from left to right. in front of my eyes.

Zelen: "Sit down. This matter is really difficult to handle."

Natalie, Nathalie: "Yes."

Zelen: "Do you know? The ideas of us at the top are fighting with the bottom again."

Natalie: "This..."

Nathalie: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are not mind-controlled subjects. It will definitely be difficult to unify everyone's opinions."

Zelen: "So sometimes I envy you two. We are twin sisters. We have the same mind and heart, and we say the same words together from time to time."

Natalie: "We...we can't say for sure. Moreover, from my own point of view, everyone is still not very obviously mentally prepared, and the education aspect has not fully caught up."

Zelen: "Education?"

Nathalie: "The fact that the pig-headed people can develop wave energy weapons and use them as standard weapons uniformly used by the entire army shows that they have done a good job in education."

Zelen: "Compulsory quality education for all, right?"

Natalie: "After all, like the two of us, our level of education..."

Zelen: "General. Regarding this, I have to apologize on behalf of the previous majesties. Basic education, especially female education, was not done well, and they had a style of dealing with things. That's why I asked Senago to take charge of education. Although Foolish men and foolish women are conducive to the rule of the aristocratic elite, but the pig-headed man has It has helped us practice and proved that this will only harm the country and even stagnate the development of racial civilization. Moreover, stupid men and women cannot really defeat the pig-headed people. After all, the cornerstone of the country has never been the aristocratic elite. , every ordinary civilian."

Natalie: "This is none of your business."

Zelen: "Yes. So I was thinking about how to promote people's thinking to keep up with the development of the country."

Nathalie: "Isn't this too difficult? Not everyone in the country can keep up with the Beam Gate alone and master how to use it."

Zelen: "Uh... do we really need to go back and equip ourselves with 20mm cannons on a large scale?"

Natalie: "Well..."

Obviously, Zelen's idea is not as recognized by everyone as he guessed. Sometimes ideas that are too radical also require time, and at the same time, education is needed as a certain guarantee.

After all, illiteracy cannot win a modern war, and a stupid army is even less likely to bring the final victory to the Crurod Empire...
