Chapter 292: Grenade Throwing

Zeren: "Grenade launcher?"

Qin: "The Holy Church recently tried to sell this thing to our arsenals, saying that our country's army will definitely need it in the future.

Zeren: "Nosy. Moreover, they are promoting this in all likelihood to create an atmosphere of public opinion and pressure His Majesty the Emperor to nod his head in agreement, right? No need to even think about it. Impossible. "

In the office of Linmington Weapons Company, Zelen couldn't help but despise the Holy Church while listening to Qin's report.

The 50mm caliber artillery series of the Holy Church is rubbish to him, especially since the caliber is not large enough and the power of the shells is really unbearable.

In addition, the Krurod Empire has used 60mm caliber light mortars as a necessary weapon for ordinary infantry companies for a long time, and is a long-range fire suppression weapon specially used to suppress enemy infantry clusters.

Especially now after fighting with the pig-headed people, the grassroots troops have specially asked the logistics to prepare a super-caliber barrier bomb for the 60mm caliber mortar to replace the old-fashioned blasting tube.

This thing is not to mention that it is used to blow up pig-headed people or dog-headed people or even sheep. Chief, even small vehicles blocking the road can be blown in half directly, and the places where the ground is laid can't withstand the powerful explosion of the barrier bomb, causing a large area of ​​ground explosion.

So the 50mm caliber artillery of the Holy Church is put aside, and see if the Orchid Republic wants to say anything. After all, the Orchid's army also uses 50mm caliber artillery, but the 50 artillery of the Orchid Republic is not a mortar in the traditional sense, but a grenade launcher fired through a trigger system.

Although in the eyes of some military strategists at home and abroad, grenade launchers are also a type of mortar, but Zelen is not optimistic about it at all.

Even if the grenade launchers of the Orchid Republic can launch infantry grenades, as a substitute for its special artillery shells that are temporarily insufficient, Zelen still doesn't think there is anything wrong. It is commendable.

The lack of range and power means that 50mm caliber artillery will never be the choice of the Krurod Empire Army.

However, only countries like the Krurod Empire, which has its own complete industrial system, have the confidence to refuse. For a country like the Takagi Kingdom, where the ruling class sells out the country for glory and does not hesitate to kneel down at the feet of foreign races to beg for protection, there is no possibility of really refusing, right?

Do these black-haired dog-headed people have the right to refuse?

If it were not for the vast land and sparse population of the Negan Empire, which has long been obsessed with the development and management of its own land, the Takagi Kingdom would have been destroyed by the Negan Empire hundreds of years ago.

And to this day, the technological level of the Negan Empire has long been ahead of the Takagi Kingdom. The retired towed 1 60mm caliber heavy mortar, this is not a fierce cannon that the Takagi Kingdom can copy and put into the battlefield.

You should know that a 160mm caliber mortar shell blew up a castle and destroyed a road in an instant. Even Zelen felt horrified.

If it weren't for the fact that the Krurod Empire was a maritime country that mainly developed naval and air force forces, Zelen himself actually hoped that his country could also have a bigger and thicker mortar.

However, there was no way.

Economic conditions and practical conditions were limited, and not all of his ideas could be realized.

But then again, the Holy Church sold this 50mm caliber mortar to the Takagi Kingdom...

Really?

Qin: "Excuse me, what are you thinking about?"

Zelen: "Qin, you can carry a mortar, just this, a 50mm caliber light mortar, plus how many shells to run around?"

Qin: "Me? Uh, I can fire about 20 rounds by myself."

Zeren: "I didn't realize you were so strong."

Qin: "Am I that weak?"

Admittedly, Qin is a beautiful woman who looks like a vase. Compared with Natalie and Nasri, she is more like a man who serves men. She has a very good figure and must be very good at giving birth to offspring. But there is a premise here, that is, Qin is a female Japanese. Her physical fitness is definitely much better than that of the short and small, at most the tall and strong goblin dog-headed man.

So Zelun deliberately listed Qin as a reference object, and then compared it with the black-haired dog-headed man.

If Qin can be 40 cm shorter... How is it possible?

Calculated in this way, a black-haired dog-headed man carries a 50-caliber cannon and 10 rounds of cannon.

It is definitely enough for simple guerrilla warfare.

The key is how many of these almost illiterate guys can easily play We have to use the mortar...

No.

If we really want to say, the black-haired dog-headed man actually has a way to quickly get started. At the very least, the mortar should be easier to operate than the grenade launcher?

Due to the lack of information in his hands, and the fact that he has never seen what a grenade launcher looks like, Zelen himself cannot easily draw a conclusion.

Maybe the production difficulty of a grenade launcher is actually lower than that of a mortar.

But in any case, Zelen can be sure of one thing, the more weapons and equipment want to be used for multiple purposes, the only result will be faced.

One thing with multiple uses becomes sparse in everything, and nothing can be accomplished.

Just like the fully automatic grenade launcher of the Krurod Empire, Bourne's original idea was actually to hope that it could replace the 60mm mortar.

However, practice has proved that the 40×46mm shellless grenades fired by the fully automatic grenade launcher cannot replace the 60mm mortar shells. On the contrary, after the "help" of the pig-headed man and the black-haired dog-headed man, the 60mm mortar shells have not yet entered the elimination team.

The only thing is that the fully automatic grenade launcher has begun to be disliked by the soldiers, and they don't want to continue to use it in combat.

There is no way.

The explosives are not powerful enough, so the soldiers naturally dislike it in various ways.

What's more, the mortar shell has a wonderful use, which is to knock the primer directly to the ground, and then throw it at the enemy as a grenade.

This is definitely something that the 40mm shellless grenade can't do at all.

Therefore, the fully automatic grenade launcher is now also used by militia or police officers for their own use as an important support weapon that can quickly suppress criminals.

Even Zelen himself felt that it would be a bit too exaggerated to use this for domestic security.

But he thought seriously, the people of the Kruro Empire are legally allowed to carry guns. If a great thief or a desperate guy appeared one day...

Sometimes, some powerful weapons are still quite useful.

Obviously, Zelen knew the adverse consequences of the people carrying guns, and knew that the people in the future might not be able to control their hands. But there was no way, there were some traditional and practical problems that he could not cut off directly, let alone a piece of paper to order a comprehensive ban.

The environment of the island country is not as stable as that of the mainland, and the Kruro Empire is a spice country. For spices, the thieves outside risked their lives and even openly killed the people to rob. Therefore, the legalization of guns for all people is estimated to be untouchable, at least in the next hundred years, it cannot be moved at all.

Especially now that no one knows how many pig-headed people or black-haired dog-headed people, or even sheep-headed people and humans from the southern Manya continent are lurking in the territory of the Kruro Empire.

If these guys are not completely eliminated in one day, who can guarantee that they will not secretly establish a base of resistance and establish a country within a country within the Krullod Empire.

This is the biggest geographical disadvantage of the archipelago country. This is also one of the most taboo things for the emperors of the Krullod Empire in the past. It is also an important reason why the Krullod Empire has long promoted centralization and the unification of national power.

Thinking about it, Zelun himself has a big confusion.

The Holy Church is unwilling to be exploited by the Krullod Empire in various ways, and directly finds the Takagi Kingdom as a scapegoat. Then is it really necessary for me to continue the next round of attacks on the Takagi Kingdom?

After all, it is useless for the Takagi Kingdom to attack. Its powerful neighbor in the south, the Nigan Empire, will never allow the Krullod Empire to intervene in the Neoland Continent, let alone the Krullod Empire to establish a former colony in its north. In addition, compared with the Takagi Kingdom, the most important goal is always only one-the Akitsu Empire.

It's just that the Akitsu Empire is now a tortoise, as if nothing happened...
