Chapter 234: Collecting Money Is Not a Problem
Anyway, as the night fell, Pierre and his soldiers packed up the bodies of their fallen colleagues and threw the bodies of the pig-headed men into a special truck.
The fertilizer and feed factories of the Krurod Empire had plenty of space for the bodies of the pig-headed men to make good use of their residual heat.
But now there was a problem.
These pig-headed men were basically broken pieces, not to mention the blood flowing like a river, and they were all in tatters.
Especially they had either self-destruct vests or grenades on their bodies.
Do they really not want to live, or do they regard the Japanese Mai people as some kind of monsters and demons, and have to fight to the death?
I don't understand.
But Pierre randomly found a pig-headed man whose body was basically blown up and had almost no internal organs, but the head was still intact.
Bang!
For safety reasons, Pierre habitually shot at the pig-headed man's head, completely smashing this head that made him very unhappy. Even if he felt that it was a waste of bullets, he needed to make sure that the pig-headed men were honest. Otherwise, it would be very ugly to explode. Then he confirmed that the guy's left hand had no weapons and equipment, and began to observe carefully.
First of all, the clothes he wore, even though only fragments were left after the fierce battle; but he could confirm that the fragments stained with a lot of blood were just ordinary textile factory machine cloth, not the special material, waterproof and breathable military uniforms of the pig-headed soldiers.
Secondly, the pig-headed man's eyes were still blood red, which often meant that he might have taken some psychotropic drugs before his death.
Especially some powerful stimulants that make people suddenly become extremely brave, even if there is magma in front of them, they dare to wade.
This kind of thing is said to have been an important force for some countries to turn defeat into victory and gain more benefits at the negotiation table.
Thirdly, his weapon, in addition to the suicide grenade held in his right hand, was only a thin-bladed broadsword about one meter long nearby.
As a common sword style in the Akitsu Empire, such a crescent-shaped sword can only bully some civilians who have nothing in their hands and are basically unarmed. Especially, the blade spine of this knife is only 4 mm, which is not the thickness that a knife that can really be used to chop hard objects should have.
You should know that a normal hatchet used for chopping has a thick blade spine of at least 6 mm, or even 10 mm, to prevent the knife from easily breaking or even breaking in half.
Finally, Pierre still focused on the body of this guy to see if there was anything on him that could indicate his identity.
Yes!
A brown leather wallet!
I don’t know why Pierre suddenly felt a little horrible when he touched it? And he felt that this leather was very familiar, just like his skin.
He pinched it carefully again.
Uh! This feel, and the color, and then he looked at his wrist. Not good! This is a handmade wallet made from the skin of a Japanese man, dried or air-dried...
Pierre, who finally knew why, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then continued to open each compartment of the wallet for inspection.
Ordinary banknotes, the rotten paper of the Akitsu Empire, are useless to keep. I will give it to the quartermaster later to see what I can exchange for.
Photo, a photo of a family of six in civilian clothes. There are words on the back of the photo, but he can't read the words of the Akitsu Empire.
Maybe it's the guy's name, or his home address?
The remaining... four keys?
Who would bring keys to the front line during a war?
Isn't this a problem?
There won't be any genius who would think of using keys as knives and stabbing people with them for fun, right?
There won't be such a guy, right?
Really not?
Anyway, Pierre shook his head and continued to look at the pig-headed man with a skull exploded and a bloody hole in his chest.
Sure enough, there are similar key chains and leather handmade wallets. They are all civilians who have taken drugs or been injected with some special drugs, thus losing their normal reason and daring to launch a death charge towards the rain of bullets.
However, the question is, what is the point of letting these civilians who are obviously not professional soldiers and are likely to be working in some farmlands, factories, or even shops to fill trenches or block the muzzle of guns?
Can it consume the ammunition of the Krurod Empire army as much as possible?
Of course, Pierre didn't know yet that the Krurod Empire had a regeneration room that could recycle all kinds of scrap copper and iron, as well as various body parts, which could quickly make up for the soldiers' infantry weapons losses.
Therefore, in the palace, a document that made Zelen a little difficult to choose and was not easy to explain in detail came to him.
Marietta: "Although the firing rate of this light machine gun is as high as 1,000 to 1,100 rounds per minute, it uses our 9×40mm caseless rifle bullets. And in order to facilitate the rapid transfer of the shooter, it uses a disintegrating bullet chain, which will not form a long metal bullet chain during combat."
Zelen: "That's it? The weight without the bullet chain is 8.3 kilograms. I say Marietta, the foreign general-purpose machine gun you recommended is a bit average."
Marietta: "Average? It can be equipped with a tripod, and the barrel can be quickly switched to act as a heavy machine gun."
Zelen: "A general-purpose machine gun that shoots 9×40mm caseless rifle bullets?"
Zelen was not interested in Marietta's statement at all.
Without him, in his eyes, the 9×40mm caseless rifle is used to deal with infantry units wearing armor at a distance of about 300 meters. Shooting this bullet with a universal machine gun...does it make sense?
Although within a distance of 300 meters, a general-purpose machine gun with a high rate of fire is indeed very useful. However, he already has a solid rock light machine gun here. Moreover, the thing Marietta recommended was a product of the Holy Church.
Yes.
Zelen had a bad habit of not liking imported products.
Even if the imported product has a special design, it can quickly switch the barrel to reduce the working intensity of the barrel, thereby ensuring that the machine gun will not overheat due to continuous shooting, and then suddenly explode the chamber or have serious mechanical problems such as the bolt jamming.
Marietta: "No?"
Zelen: "If it weren't for another product that performed worse, I really wouldn't want it... Besides, now the army... OK. I won't stop you, but Marietta, to be honest, you have accepted Saint How much does it cost to teach a church?”
Marietta: "It's more than 440,000 Polats in total."
Zelen: "You really know how to collect money. Your price can almost be used to build a Swordfish frigate."
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, Zelen knows that the cost of building a Swordfish frigate is actually about the same price. It's just that current shipyards, especially military shipyards, basically implement a special production system.
If the labor cost can be reduced, then reduce it as much as possible to avoid the possibility that the economy cannot afford it and may be prone to collapse.
Marietta: "Where? But I do need some additional research and development funds for some very important technical improvements and research and development."
Upon hearing this, Zelen didn't know that Marietta couldn't get much money from him, so she just shaved her head at the Holy Church.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He himself also doesn't have much money. The projects of Lymington Arms Company and domestic education require his own investment.
Not to mention the civilian factories of the empire, which also require heavy investment.
Zelen: "Anyway, you said it here, and I listened to it. But..."
Marietta: "I understand. Then, I won't bother you driving piles for Miao Jie."
Piling.
well.
Being an emperor these days sounds quite happy.
The problem is... no freedom.
You can't even decide who you should marry or who you should leave offspring with.
Perhaps this is the helplessness of His Majesty the Emperor throughout the ages?
No wonder there was an emperor in the history of the Krolod Empire who ran to the palace and left behind many illegitimate children.
Therefore, he still focused on Miao Jie, who also had a good figure.
After all, women with bulging fronts and backs are really his thing, and he is happy to see their beautiful bodies every night. After all, this is a "problem" common to men in the Crurod Empire, and it is easier for such women to raise healthy offspring.
