Chapter 369: Obedience
Although this matter is very strange, very strange; but the Holy Church is indeed the armory of the Iron Fist Empire, and has always provided necessary guarantees for the development of the Iron Fist Empire.
From the first fight with the demons in the past using cold weapons, to the era when the Iron Fist Empire established a complete railway network and expanded its territory everywhere, the weapons and equipment provided by the Holy Church can be regarded as an indicator of the times.
Let alone the current dog-headed people, their original homeland is not the current Neoland continent, but on a peninsula in the northeast of the Aisha continent.
However, the dog-headed people had just completed the unification of the chiefdom and officially established the empire for less than five years, and the colonists of the Iron Fist Empire marched into the peninsula with their heads held high. The result was not unexpected. The dog-headed people were no match for the Iron Fist Empire colonists who were armed to the teeth.
Not to mention that the leader of these Iron Fist Empire colonists was a prince of the Iron Fist Empire royal family. The prince took the lead in expanding the territory, so how could the members around him be ordinary civilians?
At the very least, they were all members of viscount-level families, and each of them was a noble son who had received elite education.
So the dream of the Kobolds' empire was shattered in an instant. In addition, the Kobolds at that time did not even fully master the technology of making iron tools. How could they fight against the Iron Fist Empire, which had already established a national railway network?
As a result, except for those stubborn Kobolds who were determined to leave the peninsula and were eliminated one by one by the well-educated colonists of the Iron Fist Empire who were still thinking about how to make achievements, most of the Kobolds had to cross the sea.
Moreover, there is a very interesting point here.
The colonists of the Iron Fist Empire did not completely use firearms to deal with the Kobolds. Some of the more sturdy members of the Iron Fist Empire's colonists still relied on traditional straight knife techniques to kill the Kobolds.
This is a slap in the face for the black-haired Kobolds of the Takagi Kingdom today.
So much so that the Takagi Kingdom later resolutely did not make straight knives, but made curved knives that were more suitable for chopping to show its character of never bowing its head.
But unfortunately, the Negan Empire to the south of the Takagi Kingdom is also a country that uses straight swords. As for the level of swordsmanship, the swordsmanship enthusiasts and senior officers of the Negan Empire, and even the soldiers who are proficient in this art, still beat the black-haired dog-headed people of the Takagi Kingdom.
The black-haired dog-headed people of the Takagi Kingdom can't dodge the stabs of the Negan Empire alone.
And the black-haired dog-headed people of the Takagi Kingdom are still no match for simple slashing.
There is no way.
The Negan Empire is a country with a heritage of cold weapon skills, and the dog-headed people were dealt with by the colonists of the Iron Fist Empire before they even entered the Iron Age. Therefore, the longer the history of a country, the greater the advantage in some things.
What's more, the Negan Empire has cavalry, and the level of swordsmanship is not worse than that of other countries.
So, when Hong Er closed the book, he had roughly estimated the true identity of the good organization.
The Holy Church.
Hong Er was not too surprised by this. It was not a bad thing for the Holy Church to take the initiative to do business.
After all, the Holy Church is a religious group that has historically despised, rejected, and resisted non-human races. The fact that they can do business with the Takagi Kingdom shows that the current Holy Church may have insufficient financial resources.
Moreover, the Holy Church never wants non-human members to join the church. Therefore, Hong Er is not too angry about their behavior of reselling grenade launchers.
Just because they don't sell doesn't mean that the Negan Empire in the south won't sell.
As long as organizations like the Wanxi Liberation Force need advanced weapons and equipment one day, there will definitely be arms dealers coming to do such a risky and deadly business. And compared to the high-priced products of the Negan Empire, which are very likely to have certain political conditions, the things of the Holy Church will definitely not have political conditions.
The Holy Church's trade with alien forces is habitually only asking for money. After all, the Holy Church will not preach to aliens, let alone train alien missionaries. Under the concept of human interests first, the Holy Church will definitely choose a way to "help" aliens, that is, reselling weapons and equipment to promote internal killing among alien forces.
Moreover, the Holy Church has a variety of weapons and equipment that were once used by the Iron Fist Empire army, but later listed as waste for various reasons.
If Hong Er himself is not wrong, the Xicheng rotary rifle used by the Wanxi Liberation Force is most likely one of the military weapons and equipment that the Iron Fist Empire no longer uses. Otherwise, how should the Xicheng rotary rifle be explained by its high accuracy that frightens him and can make almost every black-haired dog-headed man look like a sharpshooter?
At the same time, according to his seizures, the number of parts of the Xicheng rotary rifle is not large, and the maintenance requirements make him feel terrified in a certain sense.
It's too simple.
It's so simple that even an illiterate can disassemble the gun with his eyes blindfolded, and it's not a big problem to reassemble it with his eyes blindfolded.
What's more hateful is that the Xicheng rotary rifle comes with a folding spike, and some models also come with a grenade launcher.
Although he has not seized what the grenade launched by the grenade launcher looks like, he is very sure that the Wanxi Liberation Force must have used it a lot.
It was just that Hong Er was lucky and was not blown away by the rifle grenade like some of his unlucky comrades. And he was very sure that the Wanxi liberation force could not be without anti-armor rifle grenades.
Especially, the Wanxi Liberation Force has soldiers who once invaded the Krullod Empire, because the Krullod Empire army has this armor-piercing rifle grenade to bombard the Thunder Vehicle.
Therefore, some of the Wanxi Liberation Force soldiers who have witnessed and even enjoyed the "education" of the Krullod Empire army will definitely make similar bombs to deal with the mechas of the Akitsu Empire.
In other words, if the Wanxi Liberation Force cannot be completely eliminated, the Takagi Kingdom will definitely become the possession of the Wanxi Liberation Force in the future. At that time, the Akitsu Empire can only choose the final plan to conquer the Takagi Kingdom.
Even if Hongji actually doesn't believe that this plan will work, as a soldier of the Akitsu Empire, his greatest duty is to obey.
Unconditionally obeying the orders of superiors is the most basic quality of every soldier in the Akitsu Empire.
What's more, the black-haired dog-headed people of the Takagi Kingdom are not a monolithic entity. At least, the current King of the Takagi Kingdom unconditionally obeys the orders of the Akitsu Empire on the surface and faithfully implements the requirements of the Akitsu Empire.
Even though Koji didn't believe in this tyrant who would at most order his men to capture criminals and execute them.
But...
There weren't many suitable options. After all, Takagi Jungo wanted to secure his throne, and the Akitsu Empire was his only backing and his strongest guarantee.
At the same time, King Jungo's little tricks...did he really think he could hide it from the Akitsu Empire's random waves?
Forget it.
When King Jungo went to bed and how long he could hold his female companion at night had long been recorded by the random waves.
So, if King Jungo didn't want the crown on his head to be taken off, cooperation was the last option.
Even though King Jungo now had some elite troops for his own use, could he withstand the army of the Akitsu Empire?
Impossible.
The individual quality of the Akitsu Empire was better than that of most of the soldiers of the Takagi Kingdom.
Even if the good organization, that is, the Holy Church, also gave King Jungo some technical assistance.
In short, Wanxi's liberation forces still had to be suppressed.
Although the Wanxi Liberation Force has received support from the Negan Empire, the Wanxi Liberation Force does not seem to be a thug willing to serve as a servant of foreign forces. In fact, the Wanxi Liberation Force has higher ideals and goals.
Yes.
Hongji has realized many problems and has sorted out various intelligence bit by bit. However, compared to this, Hongji's mission has not changed, to eliminate the major resistance forces in the southern border area of the Takagi Kingdom, including the Wanxi Liberation Force.
The mission has not changed, his job is to execute.
That's all.
Even if the artillery shells of the Wanxi Liberation Force (including the impact grenades fired by the grenade launcher) are getting more and more fierce, his comrades and even himself are suffering every day, and they are unable to defend themselves.
