Chapter 270: Also the King
Junwu: "Very good. Very good. This is much more useful than an assault rifle."
Minister: "And according to the other party, they are willing to provide a full set of production drawings of the Saidian heavy machine gun."
Junwu: "Great, now I want to see if the pig-headed people have the ability to challenge the power of the heavy machine gun."
Minister: "But if we do this, our previous Yuanjia anti-aircraft machine gun..."
Junwu: "Wouldn't it be fine to install it on a vehicle or other vehicle?"
Compared to Nagamasa's various frustrations, Junwu, who has money, resources and an arsenal, has received another big gift package from the Kindness Organization after one day.
Saidian heavy machine gun.
An old-fashioned heavy machine gun that is said to have no country using it and is so cheap that no customers are interested in it.
But it's okay.
He doesn't mind that he has few weapons and equipment in his hands now, and he is eager to get all the most powerful things in the world.
And according to the investigation data given to him by the minister, this Saidian heavy machine gun was once the weapon used by the former Iron Fist Empire to slaughter the dog-headed people.
Junwu himself was a little annoyed about this. But think about it carefully, what's the use of being angry? Could he return to his hometown on the Jiwei Peninsula and kill all the humans there?
Obviously, it was impossible.
There were still pig-headed people in the territory of the Gaomu Kingdom who were free to enter and exit, and they occupied their country's resources at will, especially rice.
Want to fight?
Just think about it.
At the very least, he had to eliminate the rebels in the country.
Otherwise...
Alas.
Therefore, he looked at the data of the Saidian heavy machine gun, which had a gun body of 15 kg, a gun frame of 16.75 kg, a total weight of 31.75 kg, a total length of 1197 mm, a barrel length of 721 mm, a muzzle velocity of 870 meters per second, a firing rate of 600 rounds per minute, a 250-round belt feed, and a maximum range of 3000 meters, and he felt more and more unhappy.
This gun must be more than 32 kg when it is mounted, and it will be used in battle...
No matter what, it's better to have it than not.
But he thought about it, didn't he have the Wengang general-purpose machine gun in his hand?
Why would he produce this antique when he already has a general-purpose machine gun that can be used for both light and heavy tasks?
Or he could sell it to the rebels outside and let them fight the pig-headed people with it?
Junwu couldn't help but laugh when he had some idea in his mind.
The fact that the Good Organization dared to dominate the territory of the Takagi Kingdom or sell arms with a certain armed force can explain one thing.
They wish that everyone in the Takagi Kingdom would ask them for weapons and equipment, and then earn a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
However, Junwu thought about it and thought that he could also be an arms dealer and sell arms to the outside world to make money.
Moreover, he looked at the automatic loading mechanism of the Saidian heavy machine gun, which was a traditional and classic and very simple tube-recoil automatic principle.
That's it. Anyway, he could find someone he trusted to act as a middleman, and then sell it to some rebels outside. There should be no problem, right?
After all, he could make at least 8 guns a month.
Zelen: "No way? The Holy Church is definitely not... What does it mean that they even sell this Saidian? Do they think that the armed forces of the Takagi Kingdom are not fierce enough? The Kobolds in their hometown on the Jiwei Peninsula have experienced the taste of slaughtering 30,000 Kobolds in one day with the Saidian heavy machine gun. Now..."
Felicity: "This is their only heavy weapon now."
Zelen: "What do you mean?"
Felicity: "Except for the Wanxi Liberation Force, other resistance organizations don't even have heavy machine guns. At most, they only have some rifles and pistols for self-defense, or they have to rely on looting villages and towns to maintain their own operations."
When Zelen heard this business, he couldn't help laughing in the study.
If heavy machine guns are considered heavy weapons, how poor are they?
But Zelen thought about it seriously and realized that heavy machine guns in the traditional sense can indeed be considered heavy weapons.
After all, the weight of heavy machine guns is sometimes more exaggerated than that of mortars, and it is completely impossible for a single soldier to carry them.
It's just a pity.
The traditional heavy machine guns are no longer suitable for today's era.
Nowadays, the heavy machine guns are all 10mm caliber, or even up to 15mm caliber.
Heavy mechanical weapons like the Saidian heavy machine gun, which still fires 8×58mm caseless rifle bullets, should have been sent to museums or sent to steel mills as raw materials for recycling according to Zelen's standards.
The emergence of general-purpose machine guns has proved that they are no longer needed on the battlefield, and they have no chance to continue to serve in the army.
Weapons and equipment that are too heavy, especially machine guns, are difficult to guarantee their battlefield survival rate. To put it more clearly, the soldiers below have no time to move them.
Not to mention that the heavy machine guns in the past required ten soldiers to serve, and now the soldiers of the Krurod Empire only need five soldiers to be responsible for one heavy machine gun.
If the black-haired dog-headed man plays the Saidian heavy machine gun, it is estimated that ten soldiers will be needed. Moreover, not everyone can play with the machine gun. In the Krurod Empire, only elite soldiers who are strong enough, have excellent shooting skills, and have strong psychological qualities are allowed to use machine guns (this is also the fundamental reason why Pierre and Melin can actively use machine guns without being stopped by any teammates or even superiors).
So whether the black-haired dog-headed man can understand how to use heavy machine guns or light machine guns, or even the popular general-purpose machine guns of modern times, Zelen himself is absolutely doubtful.
Will there really be no cases of some recruits pulling the trigger and wasting a lot of bullets?
Felicity: "Also, King Junwu purchased 6 self-propelled quadruple-mounted 20mm caliber anti-aircraft automatic machine gun tanks from the Holy Church."
Zelen: "Obviously, it is to prevent pig-headed people. To deal with the domestic resistance forces, King Junwu only needs to send light troops. At most, at most, add some aircraft to conduct reconnaissance and confirm the range of activities of the resistance army. Automatic anti-aircraft machine guns, King Junwu is afraid that the Tengu fighter will suddenly transform in the air and directly kill into his own palace?"
As the monarch of the same country, Junwu's mentality is not difficult for Zelen to estimate. After all, as the monarch of a monarchy, everyone has many things in common.
It's just that King Junwu has to face and even bear the darkness and blood of the Gaomu royal family from the moment he ascended the throne.
Especially the Takagi Kingdom came to power illegitimately, relying on the usurpation of the throne and territory of the former master and the exile of the remaining rebels to become what it is today. Therefore, until today, the royal family and high-ranking noble forces in the Takagi Kingdom have always maintained distrust of the people, fearing that the people below will follow suit and usurp the throne and kill them all.
But is there any meaning?
The pig-headed people don't care so much, and they never let go of those who should be enslaved and plundered. Moreover, in the Takagi Kingdom, the more prominent the nobles and royal families are, the more likely they are to be the focus of torture (extortion by force, and anyone who disobeys will be killed directly).
Presumably, King Junwu does not want to be tortured by the pig-headed people, or even beheaded with a hot light knife, so he must have prepared a guard army that can guarantee the safety of his life and property.
But is it useful?
Junwu is not a wise king, but a tyrant like his grandfather Zelun.
The people under the rule of the tyrant are living in poverty and facing foreign invasions (the pig-headed people are essentially foreign enemies). Such a social situation is very suitable for the Orchid Republic to spread republican ideas, so it is not impossible for the Gaomu Kingdom to split into a new republic. You must know that the Crurod Empire has experienced a republican coup, and Mike and Senagu and other republicans are living evidence.
Moreover, in the Gaomu Kingdom, the long-term class solidification, the upper class monopolizes all resources, and even restricts education, resulting in the ignorance of the lower class. The society with insufficient food is destined to be more suitable for the outbreak of a republican coup than the Crurod Empire. By then, the royal family and even the nobles of the Gaomu Kingdom will definitely not have a good end. Collective guillotining is a trivial matter, at least they die happily and heroically.
However, the black-haired dog-headed people are an intelligent race with a factor called violence flowing in their blood. They will definitely not simply behead when they kill.
Skinning, dismemberment, and mincing are the kingly way...
