Chapter 327 It Doesn’t Matter
Zeren: "The Negan Empire finally showed its fangs. However, the leader of the Wanxi Liberation Force is still sober-minded and knows that he can't agree to the Negan Empire's affairs casually. Otherwise, the glorious history of the Takagi Kingdom will be repeated for the second time, and the life of these black-haired dog-headed people as slaves will probably last for a hundred years."
Compared to Nagamasa's thinking and finally coming to the conclusion that he doesn't want the Negan Empire to make any exchange and doesn't want to become a servant of the Negan Empire at all, Zelen is worried that the troops of the Wanxi Liberation Force are becoming the second of the Iron Fist Empire.
Although in the current situation, the Wanxi Liberation Force is the first pig-headed person in the Takagi Kingdom who can contain the Akitsu Empire, which is an important reason why the Takagi Kingdom can no longer provide the main source of artillery fodder for the Akitsu Empire.
However, no matter how you say it, the Wanxi Liberation Force itself is a rebel armed force of black-haired dog-headed people, and its purpose is one and only one - to change the dynasty, or to usurp the throne.
In other words, if the Wanxi Liberation Force succeeds in completely eliminating the corrupt Takagi royal family one day, it means that the Wanxi Liberation Force that replaces it will definitely have greater ambitions.
Apart from anything else, the leader of the Wanxi Liberation Force, Toda Nagamasa, is definitely not an ignorant person who is intoxicated with power.
This guy must hope that the black-haired dog-headed people can truly rise.
Qin: "Then we are here..."
Zelun: "Well, let's wait and see. Anyway, as long as the Wanxi Liberation Force is not destroyed, I am not too worried. Even if the profiteers of the Holy Church are more ignorant, they even sell 210mm caliber breech-loading mortars. Is this because they are afraid that the Wanxi Liberation Force will not be able to defend it or what?"
Speaking of this, Zelun in the study couldn't help laughing. Although this 210mm caliber heavy mortar is easier to carry out mobile operations than the 240mm caliber heavy mortar, a specialty of the Negan Empire that must be self-propelled, the Holy Church overestimates the physical fitness of the black-haired dog-headed people.
The larger the caliber, the heavier the weapon equipment, and the more artillery members are needed to operate it.
Therefore, in the Negan Empire, the 81mm caliber rapid-fire mortar alone has been installed on the chassis of an all-terrain off-road vehicle, serving as a dedicated light assault gun.
As for the Krurod Empire, there are also 120mm caliber mortars installed on infantry transport vehicles. However, according to the feedback from the troops, everyone still hopes to be able to drag it away directly.
At most, it is usually placed in a truck.
Why?
Because the army of the Krurod Empire attaches great importance to fire support, even the grassroots companies must ensure that their guns can be by their side.
However, due to the same weight reasons, the Kruro Empire did not produce mortars with a caliber larger than 120 mm, and it was absolutely impossible for it to learn from the Nigan Empire to produce 160 mm or even 240 mm caliber mortars.
Even for self-propelled artillery, the focus of the Kruro Empire has always been heavy field artillery, and even heavy missile trucks.
Although large-caliber artillery will be cheaper in terms of cost, maintenance...
This is why the Kruro Empire has always attached great importance to education.
If education cannot keep up, how can we create a 100-win army?
A force composed of illiterates is a stupid army.
Qin: "But I think that with the Wanxi Liberation Force now also implementing education, their future prospects will definitely not be too bad. What's more, they have combustible acid."
Zelun: "Combustible acid..."
Speaking of this, Zelun himself is very interested. At least Zelun admires the smart brain that came up with it, using acidic substances to reduce the hardness of armor, thereby causing a one-time heavy casualties.
The dual advantages of flammable acid corroding and burning at the same time can be regarded as the "fist" of the Wanxi Liberation Force. However, in this way, the Wanxi Liberation Force will have a harder time in the future.
The Negan Empire will definitely further suppress the Wanxi Liberation Force until the Wanxi Liberation Force takes the initiative to kneel down the title and is willing to contribute to the interests of the Negan Empire.
But this...
Will Nagamasa be willing?
Obviously, he is not willing.
The Wanxi Liberation Force established by Toda Nagamasa has obvious independence, and even does some things to eliminate bandits and ensure the peace of the people. In other words, the Wanxi Liberation Force knows how to gain the support of the people.
No matter what, I hope Nagamasa can hold on under the pressure of the Negan Empire.
Bang!
"This power..."
"Sure enough, if the charge is not enough and the caliber is not enough, the armor-piercing power is insufficient."
"It seems that more acid should be added."
"And the appropriate amount of cholera poison."
In order to make his shells more lethal, Nagamasa does not mind his men continuing to stuff cholera poison or flammable acid into the shells.
Even if this happens, both sides of the war may be infected.
But it doesn't matter.
Nagamasa has the antidote here.
Wouldn't it be a big joke if his soldiers were knocked down by his own poison?
For this reason, not only are there the necessary protective measures, but Nagamasa also uses these measures as a tight "chain" to unite his men.
Of course, Nagamasa is now looking at the experimental 57mm caliber gun barrel on the test site, and he can't help but feel sad.
His current tracked tank is scheduled to use this caliber gun.
It is incomparable to the 120 mm caliber main gun used by the tanks of the Negan Empire.
Even if he settles for the second best, the 88 mm caliber main gun provided by the kind organization, Nagamasa feels that he doesn't know when he can catch up.
Therefore, apart from "adding fuel" to the cannon, Nagamasa himself could not think of any good ideas at all.
Coupled with making the enemy sick, it is a "suitable" tactic that can greatly reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness. Even if the Negan Empire in the south has objections, this cannot change his determination.
Moreover, his first standard tank, the Scorpion tank, comes with a bulldozer and a vehicle-mounted machine gun, but now it is missing the 57mm main gun.
etc?
What would happen if the technology were further improved and the upper and lower main guns were arranged vertically? Although this may make the tank crew more tired, what he is firing here is only a 57 mm caliber missile, and the weight is definitely not comparable to the 88 or 120 mm caliber missiles that require the help of a loader.
At the same time, such an upper and lower double barrel design also helps the toxin cannon to exert its own special effects.
One shot corrodes or paralyzes the enemy, and the next shot directly kills it accurately. Although this might be a bit of a waste of missiles, as his current conditions do not allow it, and he does not have the technology to create the automatic wave energy rapid-fire cannon mounted on the Akitsu Empire Tide Tank, simple and reliable technology is what he needs most. .
Just like tableware, the tableware you are used to is not easily changed and replaced with other strange things.
At the same time, the development of many things often starts from simplicity and then slowly becomes complex.
For example, the traditional wooden bow, to the current rifle.
This is how civilization develops.
Therefore, Nagamasa is very much looking forward to the fact that his cheap small tank, the Scorpion tank, can become the most influential war vehicle on the Neoland continent.
Of course, actual combat effectiveness...
Put it this way.
It would not be difficult for one of the Negan Empire's trump cards in the south, the Apocalypse Tank, to blow up hundreds of its own soldiers.
Switching to the Orchid Republic in the north, the firepower of their heavy tanks is even more notoriously brutal. Especially among the tanks of the Orchid Republic, there are models with quadruple cannons. That guy...
Nagamasa felt trembling just thinking about it.
It is said that the Orchid Republic treats certain cultists by using quadruple machine cannons to "decompose" them to ensure that every cultist is completely transformed into rotten meat paste that nourishes the earth.
Of course, when Nagamasa himself dealt with bandits or pig-headed men, he also used 15 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns to clean up.
The effect is good.
It is no worse than the 20mm caliber cannon used more often in the outside world.
No wonder there have been rumors from the outside world that 15 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns also belong to the ranks of machine guns.
In this regard, Nagamasa can only say that he will not be like the pig-headed man and directly legally classify all objects with a caliber larger than 13 mm as artillery...
