MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 435 The Nepalese envoys came

The 435th chapter of the Nikkan people's envoys came

"...I mean to put this monocular on top of the new rifle and act as a sight. The telescope's lens depicts two crosses. When the sniper is ready to aim at the shot, the monocular is before and after. The cross on the two lenses coincides with the target, and the trigger can be pulled to shoot the target three or four hundred meters away. This is not the standard rifle of the ordinary soldier, but the sniper rifle, which selects the sharpshooter among the best soldiers. Use this specially-designed sniper rifle to shoot enemy commanding officers on the battlefield, causing enemy chaos..."

Crowder wiped the sweat of his forehead. At this moment, he really regretted how his previous life learned computer application management, not the mechanical and chemical science. With new rifles and monoculars, Claude naturally wants to combine the two to create a special sniper rifle. It’s just that he has this concept in his mind, but it’s hard to describe it specifically. The sisters Anna and Sonya, who are in charge of the trial production, understand the characteristics of the sniper rifle. The two sides finally completed the exchange of sniper rifles in the bumps.

"You actually told us that the range of the precise aiming shot of the new rifle can reach three or four hundred meters. It took a long time to make it clear that it is not the naked eye that can aim at the target too far and needs to pass the monocular. Come to help...” Mrs. Sonya complained: “What else do you need to pay attention to?”

Claude smiled apologetically: "Maybe you can try to lengthen the barrel, and the bullets need special features to ensure the power of their long-range hits. This can try to add long bullet shells and increase the propellant charge." You can also try the rifling inside the barrel, and whether it becomes a spiral can increase the stability and range of the bullet. I think so much, mainly relying on the two of you to test.

Time is a bit tight, dear, let you get tired. But there is no way. The Hicks are coming out this time. They are preparing to sweep the entire territory of the territory. For our theater, this is a test of life and death. I must find ways to increase the odds of the theater. Fighting in the mountains, a good sniper rifle can match an artillery, even more threatening than artillery. A few hidden snipers are like the angels of death coming to the enemy..."

Don't look at the ease that Claude said at the Senior Military Officer Mobilization Conference in the Theater Command, as if the enemy could be wiped out. In fact, he knew in his own heart that this battle was not good. Therefore, except for the welcome night at the end of the year, the rest of the time was spent in crazy work.

The most important thing is to move the sister Anna's laboratory from the pasture to the black stone gun manufacturing workshop directly under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibator. This is because Mrs. Sonya became the actual person in charge of the firearms manufacturing workshop, in order to start production at full capacity. The new rifle and firearms manufacturing workshop also need to install two production lines, recruiting and training more than 3,000 new employees. There are many things. She is too busy to die. There is no way to go back and forth between the two places, let alone to test in the laboratory. .

The testing and manufacturing of new weapons is inseparable from Mrs. Sonia's rich experience in gun manufacturing and the guidance of her sister Anna, so Claude decided to move her sister Anna's laboratory directly to the gunsmithing workshop. Anyway, McJack is leading the Thunder 231 battalion responsible for the garrison task of the firearms manufacturing workshop, so it is also considered to be private, let them reunion. My mother has been squatting for a long time, saying that my sister has been married for several years, why haven’t had a big belly...

At present, in addition to the production of new rifles, the firearms manufacturing workshop has successfully developed another new type of weapon, that is, mines. This is very simple. The sisters Anna and Sonia only spent three or four days on trial production. There are two types of mines. One is to crush the thunder and bury it on the ground. People will explode as soon as they step on it. There is also a kind of thunder and lightning, as the name implies, that is, the root line is on the top, and the person walks over the line, and the mine blasts.

Claude had wanted to study mines and lightning, and the former could cause great trouble for the fleet landing. Only Crowder really couldn't understand how the iron-shelled mines floated on the surface of the water. It was not clear how the ship would hit the mines and cause an explosion. The same is true for jumping and jumping, which is the most lethal mine. Claude had seen it in the forum before, saying that after the mine was touched, it would jump and explode in midair. The steel ball filled in the mine would cause serious damage to all objects within 30 meters. The problem is that Claude doesn't understand the manufacturing principle of this jumping thunder, even if there is a sister Anna's alchemy magical array to help.

The third new weapon is Crowder's sniper rifle. With a new rifle, Crowder believes that the development of sniper rifles should be completed soon. What's more, he doesn't need a modern sniper rifle that kills the enemy with a shot of 800 meters and 1200 meters. He only asks for a sniper rifle that can accurately hit the enemy within 400 meters. I believe that my sisters Anna and Sonya. The lady will not let him down, and will be able to produce a qualified sniper rifle in a short time.

Claude is preparing to make a sniper squad in the Thunder Army, led by his brother Blovik, and it is also a special force of this era. After the conditions permit, Claude will select the elites in the Thunder Army to select special forces to form special forces, and then you can perform the dagger action or go deep into the enemy's post. Perhaps in the next few hundred years, Claude is likely to be crowned by the sniper father and the father of the special forces.

It is now February of the 339th year of the Glory, and after more than a month, in April, the standing army of the Hicks Kingdom is about to land in the colony of the Rocks Bay, but I don’t know the first shipment. It will be a few standing army. Several secret agents dispatched by the Intelligence Department of the Theater Command have sent a letter from the eagle, saying that the Hicks kingdom’s advance personnel arrived at the colony of the Rocks Bay at the end of last year, busy spending money to hire labor to build a military barracks warehouse. .

It is said that the residents and local officials of the local Fox Islands United Kingdom have been unaware of the fact that in the spirit of Kay’s not slaughtering, the materials and labor of the entire colony have tripled. As a result, the secret agents sent to the theater had to accept the employment of the Hicks to help build the camp to receive a reward to earn a living. The sent eagle sent a letter complaining that the salary given to them in the war zone, even the beef to feed the eagle Can't afford it...

The secret agents were in the name of a branch of the Buffalo merchants stationed in the colony of the Rhodes Bay, mainly to negotiate the 30,000-barrel-ordered low-intensity ale. They complained in the letter of the eagle that local residents have a certain quota every month and can obtain the required living materials at a low price, so they are not affected by soaring prices. The rest of the outsiders were all overwhelmed by the Hicks, and they could only buy food at a high price.

What they regret now is that the ale that was shipped from overseas jurisdictions was too cheap to sell, and the Hicks used it as water. You should know that the price of a cup of clean water in the city is more expensive than these ales. Because it needs charcoal to boil water, charcoal is also expensive. The good news is that the Hicks have placed another 50,000 barrels of ale, and the price has risen by a third in their good words. It is estimated that the Hicks themselves were also scared by the price in the city, so this ale became the best choice for their eyes to be cheap and delicious.

In addition to complaining about soaring prices and the trading of ale, the agents also made a suggestion. After reaching the colony of the Rhodes Bay at the end of last year, these advancers of the Hicks Kingdom hired personnel to build military camps and warehouses. At present, the warehouse has been roughly completed. Every day, there are transporters from the countries directly under the West Coast, and the advance personnel of the Hicks Kingdom are transported thousands of tons of food and the rest of the living materials.

The secret agents and the forwarders of the Hicks Kingdom mixed together and listened to them complaining, saying that King Mekid III gave them a task to raise food and grass in the colonies of the West Coast countries and wait for the standing army of the kingdom to arrive. . They originally thought that this task was easy to accomplish. As a result, it was discovered in the colonies of the West Coast countries that the grain reserves in the local cities were not as much as they were supposed to be. The reasons for this were very complicated.

Since the colonies of the West Coast countries have maintained peace for 20 or 30 years, although there are conflicts between them, they are basically small and small, and will soon be resolved through negotiations. In addition, there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster. The food production in the colonies of various countries is therefore very stable. It can meet the needs of local residents and there are some reserves. More farmers like to grow cash crops, which are the economic sources of returning money to the local countries of the Faurea continent.

The Meeks III of the Hicks Kingdom issued orders for these former personnel to purchase millions of Pu'er foods. As a result, they found on the West Coast that it was impossible to purchase so much food reserves. It is a pity that the grain production of the next year will be booked at a price two or three times higher, and the farmers will be lured to grow food. They complained that in the colonies of the West Coast countries, the coarse grain potatoes they bought sold the price of flour.

The secret agents found that the pre-built warehouses of the Hicks kingdom had already stockpiled a lot of food and living materials, so it is recommended to take action and sneak into the warehouse area to prevent the food from being burned, so that the Hicks can be brought to the next.

However, the theater quickly rejected the suggestion of the agents, for the simple reason that the Hicks Kingdom and the Fox Islands United Kingdom’s lease agreement has not yet entered into force, and the current Rhodes Bay colony is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands. Among them. The fire broke out in the Fox Islands United Kingdom. It is found that if the war zone sends people to fire, they will pursue the responsibility of the theater and demand compensation...

It’s not that the theater is afraid of offending the Fox Islands, but there is no need to add trouble to the theater. Since the outbreak of the civil war between the kingdom of the kingdom and the kingdom of the kingdom of the kingdom of the kingdom of the former Faurea continent, the kingdom of Ovila has become a small person who is deceiving. If it were not for the direct control of the war zone to maintain the record of the three wars and three times of the colonial war initiated by the Hicks Kingdom, there might be other countries to play the ideas of overseas direct jurisdiction.

If King Sterling X was still alive and there was no civil war in the kingdom, then the Fox Islands would not have rented the colony of the Rhodes Bay to assemble the Hicks Kingdom. Their country is only the four naval fleets, and the level of land warfare is a mess. But now the two naval fleets of the Kingdom of Ovilas, one fearless fleet was destroyed, and the other storm fleet belonged to the rebellious King Hansback. The whole territory of the whole kingdom, plus the overseas direct jurisdiction, is in a position where there is no sea defense. It can only strengthen the fortifications in the coastal areas to guard against attacks and dangers from the sea...

The lease agreement between the Hicks Kingdom and the Fox Islands will not take effect until the first batch of standing corps has been shipped. Within five years, except for residents of the Rocks Bay City, which are also under the jurisdiction of the Fox Islands, all colonial sites outside the city are wholly owned by the Hicks Kingdom. Even if the theater sent troops into the colony of the Rocks Bay and the Hicks to fight and die, the residents of the city would only scream on the wall, saying that they strictly adhere to the principle of neutrality and never participate in the war between the two countries.

Therefore, after burning the Hicks warehouse, there is an opportunity. Now, it is not worth the loss to set fire. If this food is burned, it will only cause the enemy to be vigilant. They will vigorously strengthen the defense and alert in the warehouse area for future attacks. Bring more inconvenience.

According to General Bologna, the new rifles produced by the gunsmithing workshop were first refitted to the Thunder Corps to strengthen the attacking power of the Thunder. However, Claude refused this allocation arrangement. He insisted on distributing the new rifles equally to the two corps, and first changed the units with the strongest combat units. He is considering the need to attack not only in the next mountainous area, but also in the defense of the troops.

The two legions are all replaced by the scale of the battalion, and the increase in the combat effectiveness of the units equipped with new rifles is expected. The squadron, the first battalion equipped with new rifles in the subsequent field drills, set up defensive positions on the ground and successfully resisted the attack of the two regiments. In the end, in the sandbox exercise, the strength of a division was sent, and the artillery bombardment of the whole division was concentrated to finally capture the defensive position...

This field exercise also added to the officers of the theater headquarters the determination to defeat the Hicks. The battlefield is in the mountains. Unlike this field drill, the enemy can't take the tactics of attracting firepower and arbitrarily attacking the two sides. They can only capture the occupation by one mountain to ensure the safety of the forward passage.

Claude asked Majake and Murray Ed, and the younger brothers of Berklin were responsible for the mountain warfare training of the various units of the entire legion. They went into the firearms manufacturing workshop and developed new weapons with Mrs. Sonia and sister Anna. Hetu played a miraculous effect in the next war. Only when the sniper rifle was about to be successfully developed, Claude received a letter from the war zone commander, or an expedited type, with three eagle hairs attached. The letter said: The Nikkan people sent a large-scale mission to ask for help from the theater.

It seems that the Nikkan people have confirmed from the West Coast that the Hicks have made a comeback. They should also be frightened by the ten standing army and more than 600,000 huge troops.

According to the theater of war, the Nikkan people do not have a formal national army. Their six largest settlements each have an armed force of more than 10,000 people. More than 20 of their vassal tribes have armed forces of 5,000 to 3,000, and the following vassal tribes have only a few thousand and a few hundred guards. The armed forces here refer to the young people of Nikkancha who have been officially equipped with firearms and have received primary military training, rather than the young and strong who waved their bows and arrows and spears...

Obviously, the Nikkan people also have a lack of clear-headed people. They know very well that it is impossible for them to resist the attack of the Hicks by the armed forces of their various settlements. Because they don't have artillery, the most powerful weapon is the Hicks rifle that was seized from the theater. Although it is on the same level as the enemy on the musket, the enemy is well-trained, fully armed, with many troops and various artillery support. With their level of armed men who have only received short-term military training, they cannot be opponents of the Hicks.

Therefore, they can only pin their hopes under the great assistance of the territorial war zone. It is also clear that they have no good end in the hands of the Hicks. Even if their nature is no longer a rogue, they are not willing to re-do the slaves of the Hicks. This time, the ambassadors, who have almost dispatched the six elders and chiefs of the six largest settlements, hope to reach an agreement with the theater. It is best to send troops directly to the war to participate in the war...
