Chapter 291 Don’t Think Too Much

But compared to Zelun's normal work during the day and women serving him at night, Nagamasa, who has never had any friends, was pissed off by the stupidity of his "peers".

Nagamasa: "They are so rich... can't they manage their own territory properly? Why do they have to go to the south to hire those dark elf mercenaries? Don't they know that they are all a bunch of money-hungry, charging very high fees, and all kinds of blood-sucking worms that can't be bargained?"

Obviously, Nagamasa knew that his "friends" probably couldn't beat the pig-headed troops, so he gritted his teeth and was a little ruthless, directly hiring dark elf mercenaries from the south to deal with some tricky pig-headed people.

Especially some pig-headed officers who were riding in cars. If these officers were not eliminated one day, the pig-headed troops that killed themselves would definitely come back.

After all, the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire have a characteristic.

Obedience.

The obedience of the lower-level soldiers to the upper-level generals.

If there is no general to command, the lower-level soldiers will most likely not know what to do next, and thus become lambs to be slaughtered.

Although according to the gossip that Nagamasa had heard, the lower-level pig-headed soldiers would not mind pointing their guns at the upper-level generals as long as they did not have refined rice to eat, and then...

The rumored rebellion happened in this way.

Of course, this does not mean that the pig-headed people are easy to kill.

The lower-level pig-headed soldiers have basically received at least one year of training, especially in bayonet and shooting. There is definitely no soldier in the Takagi Kingdom who can easily surpass them.

Therefore, Nagamasa knew that if his rebels wanted to defeat the pig-headed people, he not only needed to work hard on shooting and bayonet, but also needed him to use another thing to make up for it.

Cannon.

The artillery of the Akitsu Empire obviously has weaknesses, focusing on direct shooting, and the tactics of projectiles...

How to say it?

They have never thought of using cannons for projectiles, and have long relied entirely on flying bullets to complete related tactics.

Things like mortars, the Akitsu Empire is out of hatred for the Iron Fist Empire's abandonment of itself and allowing its country to break out in civil war in the past, so they naturally dislike it in a sense.

Even the infantry weapons such as grenades and rifles have never been equipped by the pig-headed people.

Instead, there are those pig-headed people holding blue longbows. The white arrows released by these archers can not only quickly lock on the targets in the air and cause serious damage, but also form a parabola to carry out curved strikes like normal solid shells.

How lethal are such arrows?

According to the "feedback" of "peers", it is stronger than the 81mm mortar shells.

And the most terrifying thing is that the white arrows released by the pig-headed archers will split in the air, thus creating an air-blast killing area similar to the grenade.

So much so that Nagamasa himself is very skeptical, is such a bow really not the rumored magic weapon?

After all, the pig-headed people themselves promote themselves as an excellent race. Even as the hostile party, Nagamasa himself completely sneers.

But Nagamasa admits one thing, that is, the pig-headed people are definitely a magical race.

Especially he had seen the rumored magic soldiers.

Those guys don't use weapons, and they are even able to lock the target's position through the screen, thus completing some impossible assassinations.

For example, they can just stare at a poor guy and then twist his neck alive.

So according to the actual combat experience of the Good Organization and himself, the best way to deal with the pig-headed man is to blow him up with long-range explosives.

This is why Nagamasa focused on training his troops to use rifle grenades, and why he tried to mass-train gunners who can use mortars of various calibers.

At the same time, he also hoped for another thing, that is, he could train qualified artillerymen who can use barreled cannons, that is, cannons with recoil mechanisms.

In modern warfare, without artillerymen and the cannons they operate, how can this be fought?

Cannons are the god of war!

Such a famous saying is an absolute truth!

The reason why the Takagi Kingdom was weak and had to live under someone else's roof for a long time and live the life of a vassal state was because it did not have enough artillery, was not fierce enough, and was not strong enough!

In short, Nagamasa thought about it and felt helpless.

Although the southern Negan Empire had a lot of mercenaries who sneaked abroad to make dirty money, this country with handsome men and beautiful women on the streets was not short of excellent warriors and assassins.

Even Nagamasa was sure that in the hotel where he stayed at that time, even the most basic dishwashers were trained assassins.

So this is why everyone knows that the southern Negan Empire mercenaries charge a lot, but they are willing to pay for their services?

Never mind.

Anyway, Nagamasa would never be a sucker. He would rather train artillery himself than manufacture a large number of infantry light weapons and equip his men with them.

And after fighting with the rebels before, he still had several 75mm mountain howitzers in his hands.

There are cannons and some cannonballs.

If he can't make good use of the "gift" left by the rebels, how can he face those rebels who, like him, have secretly attacked and even murdered the pig-headed man many times?

That's right.

Although the rebels are King Junwu's troops, they also don't like the pig-headed man, and they don't want to see the pig-headed man rampant in the Gaomu Kingdom.

Especially, the pig-headed people have been plundering the rice and even salt of the Takagi Kingdom as military supplies for the Akitsu Empire.

As long as the pig-headed people do not change such a rule, or more precisely, the slavery policy, it means that every black-haired dog-headed person in the Takagi Kingdom will not easily surrender.

The term "surrender" cannot continue to exist for the Takagi Kingdom.

Surrender once, surrender for generations.

A weak country has no voice, let alone independent capital.

For this reason, Nagamasa has been thinking, can he make a larger caliber cannon by enlarging the 75mm caliber mountain howitzer?

But now... I think too much.

The manufacturing method of gun barrel steel belongs to the secret military technology of various countries. It is unlikely to buy it from outside without sufficient funds.

And even if there is that money to buy technology, it is estimated that the other party would rather sell a few more cannons, plus a bunch of cannonballs to stuff the buyer's mouth.

Just like Nagamasa now, he has guns to sell, and he also has a lot of purchase money from "peers" and "friends".

It has to be said that if you have technology in your hands these days, you will never worry about funds.

What's more, he now finds that not only the armed forces of the Takagi Kingdom, but even the Dark Elf mercenaries from the Negan Empire will also purchase weapons and equipment from the Takagi Kingdom.

After all, they are not stupid. It is 100% unlikely that they will bring their own military and police standard weapons and equipment to the Takagi Kingdom, thus causing diplomatic troubles for the Negan Empire.

As for why they don't want the weapons of the pig-headed people...

Is it that easy?

Just think about it. The pig-headed people have a "bad habit" that they will destroy the weapons and equipment in their hands as long as they face defeat.

Therefore, even the Japanese Mai people of the Krurod Empire do not have many weapons and equipment of the pig-headed people.

Even according to rumors from the outside world, the Japanese Mai people will take the initiative to sell the weapons and equipment of the pig-headed people, but they are few.

So few that the black market is now all kinds of sky-high prices, and it is not known whether they can be delivered in the end.

The reason is very simple. The Japanese people of the Krurod Empire must have been secretly imitating. If they had no clue, they would not have sold all the seized weapons and equipment in desperation.

It seems that I still can't think too much. Thinking too much will not do me any good.

I should honestly think about whether I can make a 120mm mortar first, otherwise he may have to import one of the cheap junks of the Negan Empire - the 160mm caliber heavy field mortar.

This cannon is a real infantry crusher, and the fate of being hit by a cannon is absolutely terrible.

But it is so heavy that no troops of the Negan Empire Army continue to use it, and all of them are used as export products as a tool for profit...
