One Hundred and Fifty Four Demons
There is a famous saying in the aviation industry, called "big bricks fly". Of course, Chris also knows this sentence, and he is now walking on this seemingly beautiful road of no return. Now he has to put his treasure on the "power to make miracles" because he doesn't have a good choice.
He really has no good way to improve the combat effectiveness of his army now, because the bottleneck period of machining has come, he can only accumulate silently here, let the workers understand the current equipment, and continue to develop downward.
Therefore, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, he can now be said to be in a state of omnipotence - while the 155mm caliber howitzer is still popular, he has begun to deploy 203mm caliber heavy artillery to his troops.
When the artillery could not be mass-produced, the Army began to prefer large-caliber rockets: when Katyusha was in service for less than four months, Ailan Hill developed a 400mm caliber rocket .
The M4 tank began to be replaced with a 90mm caliber long-barreled tank gun. On the premise that the firepower was a little overflowing, it improved a lot of firepower strike capability.
In the same way, the entire Ailan Hill army suffered from the fear of insufficient firepower, and began to frantically pile up the firepower of their own troops, and the modification began to develop in a more evil direction.
In terms of the Air Force, the production of the ME-109 fighter began to cease, and the production of the Mustang fighter began. When this fighter was produced, the large-caliber machine guns originally equipped were all eliminated, and the terrible 30mm-caliber machine guns were replaced.
Four 30mm caliber cannons are stacked on the wings of the Mustang fighter, and four 150mm caliber rockets are mounted on the wings.
Regardless of whether it can really hit a target the size of a flying person in the sky, the Air Force's idea is: I will first improve the damage ability and then talk about it! Even when the Mustang fighters did not have large-scale equipment troops, the Air Force also modified a batch of ME-109 fighter jets to mount rockets.
Because of their lack of confidence in their own interception capabilities, the Air Force also refitted the B-25 bomber that had been mass-produced. They frantically installed a 50mm rapid-fire gun on the B-25 bomber...
The ground air defense units were not idle either. First of all, the Seris city air defense units were all replaced with 88mm caliber cannons, in order to give the opponent a ruthless attack when the magician might be in the air.
What is even more frightening is that behind the dense 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns as dense as the woods, Ailan Hill also prepared 127mm caliber anti-aircraft guns for air-to-air attacks.
The 30mm anti-aircraft gun that was originally prepared to deal with high-speed moving targets seems to be outdated overnight.
Now everyone is more optimistic about the more powerful 88mm caliber cannon. It seems that only more powerful weapons can deal with those terrible magicians.
In such a large environment, the Navy's warship construction plan kicked off. Ireland Hill's first true modern warship, began laying the first keel at the shipyard in Ferry City.
In the autumn of the second year of Ailan Hill, after Ailan Hill conquered the Dothan Empire and entered the stage of full recuperation, in the shipyard, a designer looked at the design drawings and showed off to his colleagues: " I've been wondering what it's like to be able to build a terrible cannon without being constrained by transport."
His colleagues naturally know why he is proud, because no matter who, seeing such a warship being built by human beings, will feel proud.
So he looked at the clear outline on the huge blueprint, and said with a smile: "And then? You are considered successful now. Look at this, do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
"Yeah, now I know that if you don't need to consider the weight of the cannonball, you can use the machine to load the ammunition, and you don't need to consider the weight of the artillery. It turns out that our strength can already reach such a state." The engineer said proudly.
"It's ironic. The Army has always wanted large-caliber artillery. The Air Force is destined to be unable to equip large-caliber artillery. In the end, the Navy was the first to come up with such terrible weapons and equipment!" The barrel, also said proudly.
That huge, can be said to be terrifying 305mm caliber cannon, can be said to symbolize the most powerful artillery manufacturing capability of this era.
That's right, this is a battleship, an epoch-making super battleship, and it can be said to be the super sea overlord of the new era.
On earth, it has an epoch-making name: "Dreadnought", and here, it is also named "Dreadnought", which represents an era and represents the true modernization of the Navy.
Different from the original design, the outdated design of the side guns was cancelled on this warship, and the side of the ship was directly filled with vertical heavy steel plates. Next to the superstructure, it is armed with four 127mm anti-aircraft guns and ten 88mm anti-aircraft guns.
Enhanced air defense capabilities, and retains the powerful strike capability against sea targets, this coal-burning ship can run at a terrifying speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It is faster than any known ship, which means that once it locks on its target, it is impossible for the opponent to get rid of it.
Because of the different artillery arrangement from the new battleship, it can fire three turrets and 6 artillery pieces at the same time on the front, and can also use 8 main artillery pieces on any side to face the target at the same time.
Such warships are simply the sea monsters of this era. After seeing the drawings, Laurens ordered the construction of two such warships, one named Dreadnought and the other named Courage.
"An all-metal warship is equipped with thick steel plates for defense, and those weapons such as ballistas are not a threat to it at all! Even, no enemy warships can drive to a position where they can attack it. ..." Looking at his masterpiece, the engineer commented with confidence.
"Yeah, any weapons and equipment on the sea are actually not a threat to it! In other words, once this kind of warship appears, the sea will be its world!" His colleague also said with confidence.
...
"I hope you like the gift I gave you." Looking at the note in his hand, Chris looked at the carriage pulled by the giant horse. At the back of the carriage was an iron box with traces of the magic seal on it.
"We're merchants from Grecon, and we're entrusted with bringing this here." A decent man stood in front of Chris, smiling and talking about his purpose in coming here: "This is our second payment. Shopping money, and a live demon sample sent on a special trip."
As he said, he pointed to the huge box: "The demon inside is not a high-level demon, it is just a low-level corrupted beast, with a low IQ and very ferocious."
"But it doesn't have many magical means, it's one of the most common demons. We sent it here in the hope that you will make some preparations in advance..." The businessman stopped talking about this topic after he finished speaking, and turned to another few. A carriage: "The rest are the gold coins we sent."
"We also need more radars, and we also hope to import some mines. Protecting the border area is a troublesome thing. The mines can save our manpower very well." The businessman stopped when he reached the last car. After stepping down, he turned his head to look at Chris and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not refuse."
"No, I also hope that we can cooperate to defeat the invading devil." Chris squeezed out a smile and said.
He really doesn't want to sell a lot of mines because he's afraid that Gricken will abuse it. Humans have made themselves many terrible weapons that are difficult to handle, and mines are undoubtedly one of them.
Such weapons would turn war zones into hell, and until many years later, mines would be dangerously unsuitable for human existence. Even if there is only one mine left in the soil, it will turn the surrounding dozens of kilometers into a terrifying area.
The most frightening thing is that it is easy to produce and inexpensive, and it is convenient and powerful to bury. The mine laying was simple and quick, and when the mines were cleared, people vomited three liters of blood.
But he was really reluctant to refuse Grecon's request, because he knew that the other party might be the only protection he could rely on for a long time.
At least for now, it seems that this country called Greken is fairly just and peaceful, and it is a fairly normal force. Until Chris has a stronger means of self-protection, he is still willing to mutually benefit with Gricken.
He thought about these things, and unknowingly walked back to the first carriage. Curious, he approached the edge of the carriage and looked at the creatures locked inside through the gap in the magic-sealed iron cage.
As a result, he saw that inside the cage, there was a snake-like eye staring at him. Like a reptile, or a chameleon. Chris wanted to take a more detailed look at the other party, but a sharp claw rushed out and hit the gap in the cage, revealing only the pointy nails.
"Crack!" The scaly monster slammed into the cage and seemed to want to swallow Chris outside the cage. It tried tirelessly, as if there was no pain.
"How do I get it out?" Chris asked, looking at the Grecon businessman.
The businessman nodded and opened the cage with a wave of his hand. A stench surged out, causing Chris to cover his nose involuntarily. He frowned at the monsters in the cage, finally knowing why they were called demons.
It looks like a huge dog with eyes all over its head. This thing should have a very good ability to look around, with almost no blind spots. It has an ugly huge mouth, which is full of fangs and drooling, and that disgusting smell is emitted from its mouth.
