Chapter 28 Preparation and Firepower (Second Update)
Chapter 28 Preparation and Strength (Updated)
Finally, they found Jeanne next to a steam engine, staring at its core. The flashing arc lit up the light in her eyes, and those who wanted to drive her away hesitated because of the intimidation of her military uniform.
Why did such a child eventually become the leader of the resistance army?
She was far from the supreme general in his impression, the resolute leader carrying the snow-white flag. Compared with the child in front of him with bright eyes, the tempering on the battlefield did not allow her to grow up enough.
She should become a soldier.
Ji Lin sighed.
He could either become a liar or a villain.
"Sir, you know, I haven't told anyone about this. I dreamt of an angel appearing in my dream one night five years ago." Jeanna told him on the way back, "Since that day, my body has developed very quickly. The boys in the village have beaten me."
"There are no angels or gods in this world. Your body is not developing normally."
If it existed, it would have been found by the lords and then posted on the forum. And your body is not developing naturally. Women develop earlier than men, although the physical fitness of being able to single-handedly kill several strong men is a bit exaggerated.
He silently added the last sentence in his heart.
"I forgot that you are an atheist, sir." Jeanna continued, "My dad told me to find a powerful person in the army to follow, just be safe, and go home. Sir, when do you think I can be as strong as you to protect others?"
"You will."
Ji Lin sighed.
He can also browse the forum when the time is slowing down, but his browsing speed is still slower than the speed of the Internet, and the monster science building also came into being... There are fewer people in the Classical Age, and compared with the Dark Age, they have established a special feudal monster floor for mutual assistance.
In order to spread knowledge and ensure that more people will not fail due to encountering unknown monsters.
Because the number of people is small, the operation is very convenient, and there is too much spam.
The third day he arrived in this city in the first month.
He finally received the message from the messenger of the Kingdom of Vika.
He did not send a messenger to contact the Kingdom of Vika. The purpose of this measure was to strive for his control over Seta and strengthen his control over the soldiers. His status before departure could be regarded as a low-level military sergeant, and Vika would definitely send someone to replace him.
Although these soldiers belonged to him in name, if he wanted to fight against Vika, these soldiers would turn their guns around the next day.
In the era without radio, the transmission of messages relied on power and birds, and the efficiency was not good. It took Vika many days to receive the news of the failure of its advance team. The original officer corps carried pigeons to deliver messages, but all those pigeons were reincarnated in the cannon attack that day.
Deserters may run to the camp. After all, the punishment for deserters is to be shot directly, and there is no room for negotiation. But the messenger of the Kingdom of Vika encountered deserters on the way, and returned to the city to report the information only after receiving the confirmed news.
The time for replying back and forth was wasted again.
Understanding the situation, discussing, and sending troops, such a simple thing, the response speed of the entire Kingdom of Vika is as slow as an invertebrate.
Bloated and slow.
When Ji Lin learned about this later, it was really strange that they took it to Seta with such a slow response speed.
The words of the deserters were not necessarily credible. The messengers spent another five days to continue to advance to Seta, and then saw the gray-clothed soldiers standing guard on the city wall. After contacting Ji Lin, they returned to the interior of the Kingdom of Vika with new information.
The original plan was disrupted again.
It took them a full week to adjust the troops.
Until today, the messenger on a fast horse brought him the news that the first batch of Vika's support troops had set off.
The support troops consisting of 4,000 people are on the way.
But these four thousand...will run into Mia's troops.
According to the development of events he knew.
If the wings he flapped when he occupied Seta would cause a gust of wind to change the development of events.
Along with it came a letter from the governor, who was furious and asked him to prepare a bloodbath in Seta and hand over the command to another officer when the army arrived. The kingdom would reward Ji Lin for his heroic behavior.
His purpose was obvious, to bloodbath Seta to avenge his leader, and to fortify it into a front-line military fortress in Vika, and then to remove Ji Lin, who came out of nowhere, from the command system.
"Fuck..."
Ji Lin rubbed his brows.
That day, the young and skilled commander was the leader of the border governor. He already wanted to think about how troublesome the conflict of interests was, and the subsequent revenge of the governor...
In order to increase his control, he disbanded Vika's spearmen and recruited good families in the city to form a city guard. Such training can certainly wash away Vika's military imprint, but it also has a strong impact on the training level of the troops.
Almost one person leads four.
He told the messenger to recruit soldiers on the spot.
The size of the entire guard swelled from 500 to 2,000. Even so, there were still 400 guns recovered from the battlefield. The guns and ammunition were abundant, but they could be directly resupplied from Seta. The factory owner and the city lord were of one mind. No matter who managed the city, these guys with real industries felt that they could be safe.
These people would please him and provide him with medicine packs at a very low price. Each person in the city guard could shoot three guns a day to increase his proficiency.
This was more than the bullets fired by the Bivika gunmen in training, who could only shoot two bullets a week.
It is enough to practice holding a gun. Why waste bullets to train these guys who are waiting to be shot? The various expenses of training a thousand-man gun team alone are huge expenses. Morale depends entirely on the supervision team to maintain. The governors also don't want to spend more energy on these cannon fodder.
Senota handed over the design drawings of the gun for him in the first week, a 100mm long-barreled gun.
After the design drawings were handed over to the factory, the factory quickly provided them with a rough version of the gun.
Ji Lin directly took the governor's personal letter to negotiate with these factory owners and obtained their complete compromise. Their industries are located in this city, and their employees and resources are all here. They can cooperate with him even if they want to lose this city and their industries.
They also have a share in the attack on the Vika advance team.
Of course, a factory owner sold his factory to Ji Lin at a discount and fled to a safer place with the money. Ji Lin also accepted it. This money was naturally from the city lord. He told the city lord that he would return his money in full when the governor arrived.
The outer armor plate of the governor's mecha that they recovered from the battlefield was used to test the power of the gun.
The front-loading gun has poor air tightness and its power is greatly reduced with distance. It can only penetrate the armor of the governor's mecha within 800m, which is far from his requirements. For rear-loading guns, they can only use their ready-made technology, and the rear-loading gun base has no accumulation.
Even if the high-quality metal materials smelted by hydrogen brought by the blue crystal mine, these front-loading guns can only fire five rounds, and then the entire barrel will be declared scrapped.
Another weapon solution he got from communicating with Ji Lin was a 120mm caliber mortar.
This weapon, which uses precision mechanical technology, was improved from the mortar. The problem with the barrel is not big, but the problem is with the mortar shells. Each shell uses rune technology to make the material reach the required strength level. This mortar uses the same technology as the steam mortar explosive projectile. This is their existing technical accumulation, which can be modified and used.
Smoothbore mortars also need the same rifled technology as direct-fire guns.
Senotta is a genius in this regard. After listening to Ji Lin's oral explanation of the principle, he drew the mortar's firing pin structure and detonation structure. Maybe he can really realize the technology of miniaturizing the steam core he mentioned.
Compared with the 250mm caliber steam mortar, this 120mm mortar has a longer range, with a maximum range of 1.5km. It sacrifices excess power in exchange for range. When attacking armored targets, the 120mm mortar filled with explosives is obviously worse than solid shells.
Production capacity and cost...
There are many problems, but Ji Lin has found a way to fight against the Governor Mecha.
Both weapons can be carried by steam mecha soldiers, and they can carry multiple rounds of ammunition while carrying the barrel.
Those factory owners understand steam mecha soldiers the same as steam spiders. They use melee capabilities to kill opposing infantry and armored units in front of the battle, and even develop arc arms to curb the charge of assault cavalry such as steam spiders. This is an extremely wrong idea.
Steam mecha soldiers and steam spiders are both excellent vehicles.
It's time for the bloated and slow Governor's Mech to retire from this world.
