Chapter 250: No Matter?
Jane: "This 15mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun is actually... strictly speaking...not a machine gun. When the Iron Fist Empire was still around, the Iron Fist Empire called it a cannon. It was an aviation cannon installed directly on the aircraft."
Zelen: "What are the characteristics of that?"
Jane: "It doesn't have any special features. It's just a simple automatic suppression weapon. And according to the information I have here, this machine gun weighs 38.1 kilograms, has a total length of 1916 millimeters, and a barrel length of 1254 millimeters. It uses a barrel-retracting automatic principle and has a rate of fire of every 740 rounds per minute, fed by a metal bullet belt. When firing ordinary bullets, the muzzle velocity of the gun is 850 meters per second.”
Zelen: "38.1 kilograms, which is heavier than our 20mm cannon."
As night fell, after eating and taking a shower, Zelen hugged Miao Jie and Nathalie on the big bed with a look of disdain.
Jane: "This is an aviation cannon used on aircraft. Its power is definitely not something that the light weapons of ordinary infantry can resist."
Zelen: "That's because the standards are different. The previous tradition in the Iron Fist Empire was that a caliber above 15 mm could be called a gun. Unlike the Negan Empire, we here directly use 20 mm as the dividing line. Of course, I also I heard that the Negan Empire is more crude and simple, and all guns with a caliber greater than 13 mm are used. But Jane, if you say so, this anti-aircraft machine gun must have different types of ammunition?"
Yes, there are obvious differences in the understanding standards of guns in different countries. Especially the Iron Fist Empire. In this country, their standard for viewing guns and weapons is whether the main type of explosives they fire are explosive explosives. Therefore, the Yuanjia 15mm caliber aviation machine gun, which used to mainly fire high-explosive missiles, was naturally considered to be artillery, and was officially classified in the name of artillery.
As for the Negan Empire, this is for similar but different reasons.
The country believes that as long as the fired explosives contain explosives such as blasters, it can be classified as artillery. But isn’t it? There is too much “operational space” here.
Jane: "Yes. Ordinary bullets, armor-piercing missiles, and high-explosive bombs. But now the Holy Church rarely uses models other than 15×96 mm caseless ordinary machine gun bullets. After all, there are basically none in Kapok City. A few cultists can withstand a barrage of ordinary bullets."
Gamelia: "Let me tell you, they are being lazy on purpose, taking out old antiques from the past as a pretense, and then using them to deceive some black-haired kobolds."
Zelen: "Why?"
Gamelia: "This is too heavy."
Indeed, as Gamelia, who was dressed in tulle, said. Large firearms, especially machine guns, using the barrel-retracting automatic principle may have excessive weight issues.
The reason... is simple.
The barrel requires a certain amount of weight to act as a recoil buffer. At the same time, the barrel-retracting automatic principle, as the name suggests, the tube can move. A barrel that is too light is prone to damage during movement.
Even for now, among traditional automatic firearms, the tube-retractable automatic principle is the most reliable, but it is also a complicated automatic principle after all.
Jane: "That's right. In addition, the Holy Church has now added a tripod to this machine gun to serve as an anti-aircraft machine gun. Finally, with other accessories and ammunition boxes and other ammunition supplies, the weight of the entire gun is very likely to exceed 55 kilograms. Myself I highly doubt that the black-haired kobolds who resisted the rule of the Takagi royal family have the physique to control this anti-aircraft machine gun.”
Thanks to the "good rule" of the Takagi royal family, the black-haired kobolds in this country are generally no more than 1.55 meters tall. They are basically dwarfs who appear to be extremely short in front of the Japanese people. They rely entirely on various loud voices. Show your presence. Therefore, in the past history, the black-haired kobolds did not use their strength to complete various combat missions, but used their night vision ability to conduct surprise attacks to win victory.
Gamelia: "That's okay. Just ask a few more soldiers to share the load. Even in the previous Iron Fist Empire, they didn't have ten soldiers responsible for one heavy machine gun. If that doesn't work, just get on the wheel frame and drag it. Walk."
Zelen: "Aren't you abusing them? Dragging them... dragging them on flat ground will definitely be fine. But if they are dragged on rough ground like mountains, it will really kill them."
Gamelia: "If it doesn't work...I can't help it. Then, I'll go to sleep first."
Jane: "Don't you want to watch the show later?"
Gamelia: "I'm a little tired today. Especially since the Holy Church has provided a lot of information... it's difficult to integrate."
Paula: "It's okay. I will take over tomorrow, and you can watch how Nathalie ascends to heaven later. It will be good for you in the future."
Gamelia: "Huh?"
Paula: "Since we are all lying on the same bed, everyone basically has to show their shyest look."
Even though Gamelia was reluctant to admit it, she looked at the "sisters" on the bed and couldn't help but nod lightly. Everyone knows that as long as they sleep on this big bed, they basically don't even have the right to dress properly.
What's more, except for Yasmin and Miao Jie, all the other women who have had sex with Zelen will have the ability to fly. Therefore, Gamelia was also determined to wait and see if Nathalie would scream more coquettishly than Natalie later.
As for the prepared "sacrifice", Nathalie looked shy and could only lean her body into Zelen's arms, maintaining a silent posture.
Miao Jie: "How about...Natalie, I'll give you this position."
Natalie: "Huh? No, no, no need."
Upon hearing Miao Jie's suggestion, Natalie immediately stepped back, but immediately clamped her legs together. Last month, she became more and more slutty day by day, and she couldn't make up for it during the day. After she regained her consciousness, she didn't dare to mess around, for fear that she would be completely addicted.
Miao Jie: "Come here."
It's just a pity that the beautiful scene of two sisters sharing a husband cannot be escaped. Miao Jie directly used magic power to grab Natalie out of thin air, and then moved her to Zelen's side.
Jane: "Ahem, wait until I finish talking about the matter before starting the war? Hmm... According to the latest intelligence, two resistance groups in the Takagi Kingdom have been equipped with this type of anti-aircraft machine gun, and in order to ensure that the black-haired kobolds can fight Yes, the models provided by the Holy Church all use shovel-type grips for firing.”
Zelen: "Is it different from the pistol grip we have here?"
Jane: "Reducing fatigue. After all, with the black-haired kobolds' physiques, they can't bear the kinetic energy of the butt against their shoulders. Of course, the main component responsible for the recoil of an anti-aircraft machine gun is the tripod, not the shooter. So it can reduce fatigue, naturally. A better choice. What's more, this anti-aircraft machine gun can penetrate 18 mm thick homogeneous armor steel plates at a 60-degree angle at a distance of 300 meters.
Zelen: "That's pretty much it. No wonder it used to be the aviation cannon of the Iron Fist Empire."
Jane: "So, Zelen, you don't care?"
Zelen: "If I don't give the Holy Church a way to survive, they will take revenge on us sooner or later. And no matter how much I don't like them, I can't bring a new one to the Crurod Empire because of my likes and dislikes. Enemies. What's more, the Holy Church's overseas business will definitely be beneficial to us. Their routes will definitely pass through our country, so it won't be too much for us to collect some tolls in the future, right?
Jane: "This matter..."
Zelen: "Light weapons are not a life-threatening matter. Heavy weapons are the key. At the same time, the Northern Province is about to be recovered. The next thing is the sheep-headed people in the Eastern Province."
The defeat of the Akitsu Empire is certain, especially since the Holy Church has disguised itself as an underground black market arms dealer to provide backing for the rebel forces in the Takagi Kingdom, it is even more impossible for the Pig-Headed Man to continue to increase troops to the Crurod Empire.
Thinking of this, Zelen was very grateful for Dayang's plan, and he would definitely have to reward this ambitious noble master generously in the future.
Even if Dayang is not suitable to be prime minister.
But compared to these, the nightlife, especially Nathalie’s coming-of-age ceremony, is the real highlight...
