The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

So when Kash successfully arrived at Paga City, which had long been destroyed by the war, he asked his men to clear out as much open space as possible as a headquarters, and then repair the dock and port so that the people on Bo Ni Island could The navy has a port where it can anchor.

At the same time, he also needs one or even several tank factories here.

There is no way to do this in the plains without chariots. And based on his actual combat summary, although the Akitsu Empire's mecha troops are flexible and suitable for quite a few terrain environments, their armor thickness is not as thick as traditional tracked combat vehicles.

If it weren't for the fact that it has a layer of energy shield that can make up for the lack of armor thickness, it is estimated that the 90mm caliber rocket launcher currently used by the Japanese and Mai people can penetrate it with one shot.

And it also comes from practice. As long as the mecha lands and is in contact with the ground, heavy anti-armor ground will still be the nemesis of ground mechas.

Therefore, if you want to solve the Akitsu Empire's ground mecha problem, tanks or even fighter planes are the best choice for the Krurod Empire.

Infantry...he doesn't force it anyway.

Like the fully automatic grenade launcher, he actually just took it for emergency use.

Especially after he was promoted to colonel, he had more manpower and material resources at his disposal. The guerrilla warfare tactics that originally worked well in the mountains had no future.

In addition, when he came to Paga City, although the dark clouds above his head were not very dense, the rain did not stop falling.

In this kind of weather, he needs more time to rest and let the medical soldiers below do a good job in epidemic prevention. Everything is good in the tropical environment, but the humidity caused by rain and the plague caused by high temperatures have always been a long-standing problem in the Crurod Empire.

Well?

Hiss...wait a minute, can the pig-headed people withstand the plague?

You must know that even though the Krorod Empire has special ointments and even bath water specially filled with medicinal powder to prevent the soldiers from insects and mosquitoes, the number of non-combat casualties among the soldiers caused by mosquito bites is almost 1,000 It has never been interrupted during the years.

Change it to those pig-headed men...

have!

When Cash comes up with something, he naturally discusses it with his staff, especially Guillermo.

At the same time, Jian, who was still robbing rich people and buying guns in the southern border area of ​​Takagi Kingdom, finally controlled 5 cities and 11 villages, and would not face the fate of starving to death for the time being. But precisely because he controlled so much territory, the tyrant army from the north had already set off south.

So he needs to think about what to do next?

After all, there is another rebel force in the northeast region that has controlled more than 30 cities and is also thinking about how to overthrow the tyrant.

If he immediately surrenders to him now, he will definitely not act rashly when going south to destroy his own army.

In particular, this rebel force is one of the three most famous resistance organizations in the Takagi Kingdom. It is a suppressive force that has defeated the tyrant five times in a row since its establishment.

However, Jian himself also knew that once he surrendered, it meant that he had to work hard for him. He may even be used as cannon fodder and become a member of the frontline defense against the tyrant's suppression.

This was definitely not what he wanted, or even what he least expected to happen. Therefore, he secretly gathered skilled craftsmen and built his own arsenal to resist the pressure from the north. At the same time, with the arsenal, he no longer has to buy expensive second-hand goods to support his appearance.

Anyway, the one who is willing to be harmed by the profiteers of the Dark Elf clan is the tyrant in the Takata City Palace who completely ignores the suffering of the people and likes to hear cannons smashing the bodies of criminals every day.

One day, he will definitely tie this tyrant to the muzzle of a cannon and taste the feeling of having his body broken by a cannon.

By the way, he will definitely use asphalt to pluck the tyrant's hair, and then use cannons to judge.

But before that, he looked at his summary report.

So far, his arsenal can only produce the simplest rotary rifles and revolvers, and cannot produce other types of guns. As for bullets, he relies heavily on the trade of the 9 Dark Elf clan.

But this is absolutely not possible.

What's more, the caravans of the Dark Elf clan are notoriously treacherous and will never sell truly valuable things. So much so that he once thought about whether to give virus preparations to these profiteers and let them bring the virus back to harm his hometown.

However, it is impossible.

If the Dark Elf clan were so easy to deal with, they would have destroyed the country hundreds of years ago. How could it be spread to this day?

Moreover, the Dark Elf clan itself had a woman who was proficient in medicine as the first generation queen, and the current Dark Elf Queen is the third generation.

Who can guarantee that the skills of the first queen will not be passed down?

Aren't you seeking death by betting on this matter?

What's more, because their peers, that is, other rebel forces, have tried to kidnap members of the Dark Elf clan's caravan, the security level of the Dark Elf clan's caravan is getting worse day by day.

Don’t want to buy, just grab it?

Don't even think about it.

What form of intelligent race are the Dark Elves?

A long-lived magical race with an average lifespan of 2,000 years.

How difficult are these guys to deal with?

Anyway, in the era when the black-haired dog-headed people had not yet attempted to usurp the throne and exiled the white-haired dog-headed people, the Dark Elf had plenty of ways to deal with the dog-headed people. And don't look at their not-so-nice nickname, bean sprouts. In close combat alone, the ring-headed straight swords they used completely beat the black-haired dog-headed people whose average height was less than 1.55 meters.

Overall, the method that Jian could think of in the end was to pretend to surrender to the larger rebel armed forces, and then try to let the troops suppressing him focus on his "boss" as much as possible, so that he could gain a relatively free space for survival and development.

However, how would he operate?

Compared with Jian's layout and conception, Zelen, who was conducting live-fire shooting experiments in the shooting range of Linmington Weapons Company, looked helpless.

The Dark Elf who made a deal with him did not deceive him. The heavy machine gun weighing 26.5 kg was within the effective range of 1500 meters, with 11×67 mm rifle bullets as the basic ammunition, and it was completely able to penetrate the 24 mm thick homogeneous steel plate.

It has to be said that as long as they can bring out good things, rather than just gold and silver jewelry, the Dark Elf caravans will often take out their hidden treasures seriously.

Of course, according to Mike, this heavy machine gun with a total weight of 26.5 kg, 525 rounds per minute, muzzle velocity of 825 meters per second, a total length of 2118 mm, and a 50-round magazine is actually one of the products of the Dark Elf that is not valued by the army, and has ended up gathering dust in the warehouse.

Its elimination, no, to be precise, the important reason why the heavy machine gun is not accepted by the army is... light.

It is easy to shake violently when shooting, resulting in low shooting accuracy.

But on Zelen's side, he improved the recoil mechanism and replaced the original barrel. As a result, during the firing of the more powerful 11×67mm rifle bullet, the performance of the heavy machine gun surprised a group of workers.

Qin: "It seems that you succeeded again."

Zelen: "Not really, Qin, you know the Sharo six-barrel beam Gat cannon, mine can only be said to be a heavy machine gun for infantrymen to use in emergencies. If possible, I actually hope to use other weapons instead. However, other types of advanced weapons are basically limited by various mechanisms, and there is no way to continue to reduce the size."

Qin: "In fact, in your own opinion, you have never thought about letting infantry deal with the threat of air units."

Zelen: "That requires professional air defense forces. Infantry is only an auxiliary force. The real winner is always the armored force. Whether it is flying in the sky, walking on the ground, or even swimming in the ocean, these are the objects that our country's army needs to care about. At the same time, the pig-headed mecha has clearly told us that armored forces do not necessarily need to have thick armor, and energy shields are also no problem."

Qin: "It's just that there is still no one in our country who can analyze their principles so that we can copy and use them."
