Chapter 1142: The French Royal Guard
"Hey, Eric! Why didn't you go to the training today, I see that the chief's face is not good-looking, next time you'd better not be sick like this! ”
A blonde man with a somewhat delicate face lifted the tent and warned his companion who was humming on the bed.
"Sir? You mean Andrei's coward? Who has the right to say about me! ”
Eric sat up half of his body with a disdainful look on his face and sneered: "In the last battle, I killed five Orientals alone!" What about him? In addition to making noise in the back and making people upset, I don't even dare to stand in the front row, so come to charge the big man at this time? ”
"Wait! I've heard that we're going to form an alliance soon, and we're going to explore the East. At that time, an idiot like Andrei will only deserve to carry my shoes! ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The blonde man was surprised: "Going on an expedition to the East? You mean......"
"It's not what I said, I guessed!"
Eric didn't seem to want to go into the nitty-gritty either, shrugging his shoulders and prevaricating.
"By the way, the last time those Orientals came, I didn't think there was any hostility. They sent us porcelain and silk, which were all very good things, why did they arrange for us to ambush them? ”
"Hey, what's the send?"
Eric had that look on his face again, as if he had seen everything, but he couldn't see anything, "What I can give you is definitely not the best goods." To get really good things, we have to go to the East and get them ourselves! Hehe, that place, I heard that there is gold everywhere, and there are beautiful women everywhere, all of them are white and beautiful, but they are different from the rough girls on our side! ”
"How do you know?"
"I ...... I just know! Ahem, I told you that you don't understand! ”
Eric stopped talking, subconsciously glanced outside the tent, but still stopped.
"However, I see that the firearms of those Orientals are already very good, and they do not seem to be worse than ours. Last time, it wasn't that we surround them by surprise and then suddenly open fire, but if we do a real fight, I'm afraid that even if we can win, we will inevitably have a lot of casualties. ”
The blonde man frowned and said, "You said you went to the east to grab things?" At that time, we are in a foreign land, but there will be no such convenient conditions, can we do it? ”
"You know what!"
Eric clenched his fists hard and couldn't help but retort: "Do you think the real core weapons of France are the ones we use now?" No, no, no, it's far from it, you've never seen those powerful weapons. ”
"Now our coalition army has gathered the elites of France, England, Germany, Spain and other countries, and the weapons are of course the best! What could be a more powerful weapon? ”
The blonde man shook his head in disbelief and said, "Eric, have you been hoodwinked, hearsay is not accurate, I ...... No way! You're talking about this kind of ??? ”
In the middle of his words, he suddenly turned into an exclamation, pointing to the open transparent window next to the tent, and shouted with his mouth wide open.
Eric was still hesitant to say something more to this stupid companion.
As a member of the French Royal Guard, it is a more important duty to participate in this multinational coalition.
The high-level leaders of European countries have long intended to get involved in the rich East, and if they can turn that vast and vast kingdom into a colony, it will be a major event for future generations and future generations.
Not long ago, a fleet of ships in the East sailed here, saying that it was to strengthen exchanges, hoping to reach an alliance and exchange ideas.
After the heads of state urgently consulted, they immediately assembled their troops to form a coalition army, set up a fire trap, and devoured tens of thousands of eastern troops in one fell swoop, dividing up all the goods they carried, including hundreds of sea ships.
These exquisite goods further stimulated the greedy and predatory Western powers, who tried to find a new paradise in the East.
However, in the name of the coalition army, there must always be a commander who is publicly promoted, otherwise they will act separately and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This commander of the coalition forces, who chooses which country, is very particular.
Every country is fighting for it, but it can't be put on the surface, so the country's most elite warriors are sent to blend in with the coalition forces, each performing their own duties, trying to compete for this coveted position.
Eric is a special soldier of this nature, belonging to the French Royal Guard, he is not a candidate for commander, but his duty is to deliberately pretend to be a lazy soldier to achieve some deep-seated goals.
The blonde man's name is Edward, and during his short career in the coalition, he and Eric have formed a comradeship. The last time he surrounded and suppressed the Orientals, if Edward hadn't pulled it in time, maybe Eric would have been hit by the musket that the other side fired back.
Seeing that he was still so stupid and unknown, Eric couldn't help it a little and decided to popularize more knowledge for him, lest the future army go to the East, and he was still confused and didn't know what to do!
The powerful weapons that Eric said are actually available in various countries, and they have different directions. Although the armaments used by the coalition forces are not bad, they are still much worse than the truly sophisticated ones.
For example, the muskets commonly used today are all one-shot, and after one shot, it is very troublesome to reload, and it is easy to form a fire vacuum between shots, and the enemy takes advantage of the situation to counterattack.
Later, some people developed a three-in-one shooting system such as lying position, squatting position, and standing position, and the three rows took turns firing, which could effectively solve this shortcoming, and the fire coverage was uninterrupted.
But even so, it still did not fundamentally solve the problem of slow firing of muskets.
As a member of the Royal Guard, Eric knew that this backward musket did not represent the strongest fighting force in France. In fact, he had already tried the kind of musket that could fire continuously, which could shoot 6-8 rounds in one minute, completely subverting the previous concept of musket, and it was a real weapon of war!
But before he even started to say it, what the damn Edward was yelling about!
Eric followed the other's gaze dissatisfied, and the disdain on his face quickly turned into surprise, then shock, horror, and fear......
What is it?
Eric, who had been lazy, finally forgot to disguise himself, and a carp jumped out of bed, picked up his weapon very neatly, and rushed out of the tent.
At this moment, the elite combat quality of the French Royal Guard was fully displayed.
As the exclamations came one after another, more and more people rushed out of the tent, pointing to a young man suspended in the sky, talking and shouting, and no one knew what it was.
Eric had a strange eye, and he could see the man in the sky.
Although the person appears to be wearing some kind of special armor, it is impossible to tell if it is black hair, but judging by the yellow skin and facial features......
Somehow, Eric's heart sank, he was an Oriental! (To be continued.) )
