The Grand Duke of Holsinki frowned again and again! He has explored both the strength and weakness of the northern ** country!

With the introduction of the steam engine to the West, the power of the workers' capitalists in Western Europe grew stronger. The old aristocracy also faced the challenge of the new capitalists, and even the serfs had a way out of free workers.

In the past, the northern ** country could rely on the tribal serfdom system to unite the strength of various departments, but now the number and bravery are no longer the key to victory!

"II! It's time for the northern ** country to establish its own industrial capital business circle! Otherwise, the gap between the empire and the other countries will also widen! ”

Romano II's heart was shocked! He didn't expect the Grand Duke of Horsinki to agree to the change as well!

"Grand Duke! If you let go of the explosion of capital and industry! Then, the interests of the land will slowly fade! In the future, the success or failure of aristocratic families can only depend on the operation of capital! ”

The second also has the heart to change, otherwise the northern ** country will be broken by the yellow race sooner or later! But many old aristocrats were unwilling to let go of the innovation of industry and capital!

Grand Duke Holsinki smiled bitterly and nodded: "I naturally don't want to change anymore!" But the nations are changing! Even the Ottomans had already decided to change! If Beimao does not change and develop, ten or twenty years later, I am afraid that even Simon will not be able to resist! ”

Find out the true meaning of the Grand Duke of Korsinki, and Romano II can rest assured! "Be so! I, the Western world, will never allow yellow people to live again! ”

The history of being ruled by the Mongols has always been a shame and hatred for Beimaozi. But then they also learned the domineering and ambition of the Golden Family.

Grand Duke Korsinki nodded: "If the empire can mass-produce guns, it will definitely be able to destroy the Simon Kingdom against the Han people in the East!" ”

Fortunately, he was not arrogant enough to destroy the Yanhuang Empire and stand in the legendary Eastern World, no matter how arrogant Beimao was, he didn't dare to boast.

Out of the border passes, the road to the Central Asian steppes is much easier. Half a month after the surrender of the Ottoman army, the cavalry also rushed to the shore of the Black Sea, and more than 20 days later, the 100,000 musket regiments also arrived at the front line.

Volga City is an important city in the middle of Northern Mao, and the Grand Duke of Horsinki also intends to completely defeat the Han expeditionary force on the front line of mountains and rivers.

The two armies have been facing each other for a long time, but each is waiting for its own reinforcements.

There are more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in the Northern Mao Southern Group Army, of which 200,000 new troops are also the elite of the whole country. The 200,000 new troops were all equipped with rifles and artillery from Western European countries, but the lack of caliber also complicated logistics.

In addition to the new army, the northern ** country also has a domestically produced 100,000 firearms artillery army, and the 100,000 firearms army and tens of thousands of infantry form ten Spanish hedgehog firearms arrays. In addition to the firearms array, Beimao also gathered 100,000 cavalry. These 100,000 cavalry are also the majority of the cavalry of the Northern ** Country, after all, Beimao is no longer the all-nomadic nomadic tribe it once was.

"Commander, although the new army of the Han army is only 100,000, its rifle rate of fire is not slow." Grand Duke Gonov's deputy commander said uneasily.

Grand Duke Holsinki smiled and nodded: "Vice Marshal rest assured!" This commander has his own arrangement! The cavalry and firecrackers of the Han people will be the breakthrough point of our army! ”

The strict discipline of the Han New Army made the Grand Duke of Korsinki dare not despise it, but the government guards mixed with various tribes in the northwest, Mao Zi did not pay attention to it.

Although the Kingdom of Simon did not participate in the war, high-ranking officials such as Geldan, Sole, Ramatai and Grande also came to watch the battle on the Battle Peng.

"Commander Zhu, is Beimao's formation planning to surround our government soldiers?" Chen Shencheng also frowned! He believed in the combat effectiveness of the 03 Legion, but he was worried about the Fire Gun Army behind him and the Beifu cavalry on both flanks!

The empire has been at peace for ten years, and these soldiers have never seen blood, and even their training is ordinary. In peacetime, most of the government soldiers patrolled or participated in local construction work.

"Second prince, there are enough legions in this battle, and they are also here to see!"

After Zhu Xin finished speaking, he also asked the artillery to prepare.

Each division of the 03 Corps has an artillery battalion, and the corps also has a direct artillery battalion.

The presence of artillery allowed both armies to be at a distance of about seven kilometers, which was also the longest range of Western land heavy artillery.

This time, the Northern ** country also prepared 120 heavy artillery pieces and 300 medium field guns.

On the side of the 03 Corps, a divisional artillery battalion was also equipped with 100 rapids and 30 105 heavy guns. Many artillery pieces were also shipped with reinforcements, and in the Western theater artillery was king, and the empire had to strengthen the size of the legion's artillery.

The three divisions and three artillery battalions were 300 75-caliber rapid-fire guns and 90 105-caliber heavy guns. However, the 03 Corps also has a heavy artillery battalion directly under the group army.

The heavy artillery battalion was all equipped with heavy artillery, with 30 105 guns of the smallest caliber and 10 long-range guns of 155 caliber.

"It's all hidden! As soon as the Han opened fire, we destroyed their artillery positions. Seeing that the Han Chinese flag was moving, the Grand Duke of Horsinki also estimated that the artillery battle was about to begin.

The 200,000 new troops were hiding in some stone forts and trenches, and most of the new troops in the north of the war were mainly defended, and even the artillery was hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Although Maozi is well hidden, many guards are deployed around. However, in the face of repeated spot checks by timber wolves and flying eagles, the group army also controlled the azimuth coordinates of Maozi heavy artillery.

Similarly, Maozi could not get close to the Han army to reconnoitre, and they could only use binoculars to observe.

"Huh! The heavy artillery of the Han people stopped! "Three heavy artillery arrays actually stopped at nine kilometers, which surprised Gonov!

The maximum range of their heavy artillery is seven kilometers, not even less!

The Grand Duke of Korsinki also shook his head and said, "Impossible! It shouldn't be! ”

Not only ninety heavy guns are aiming, but ten long-range guns of the heavy artillery battalion are also being prepared at a distance of twelve kilometers! However, Mao Zi could not see it, and if necessary, the 155-caliber heavy gun with 40 times the body could shoot fifteen kilometers away.

Compared with the artillery of dozens of kilometers in later generations, it is nothing, but the long-range artillery of the Yanhuang Empire has now reached the level of World War II in later generations.

It's not that the R&D ability of Yinren and the Academy of Engineering is too powerful, but that Chen Xiong asked the Academy of Engineering to complete it based on vague memories of his past life! As a hobbyist and lover of arms, he also knows a little bit about the craft of cannon steel.

"Let the departments hide first!" The Grand Duke of Holsinki estimated that the Han Chinese were planning to bombard the stone fort and direction first.

At this time, Gonov also said: "It is better to let part of the artillery start to advance and bombard the heavy artillery of the Han Chinese." ”

The lieutenant marshal also had some command, and the Grand Duke of Horsinki, although he did not like him, nodded in agreement.

Trench warfare was first used in the Empire, and is now the mainstream on the planet. In addition to the decisive battle of the movement, trench warfare is the last defense system.

Mao Zibing began to dodge the artillery, and when the artillery behind some of the hillsides began to prepare to move, the heavy artillery of the group army was also prepared.

"Fire!" The artillery battalion commander immediately turned around after shouting: bow your head, open your mouth, and put on a shock-absorbing hood.

The hood is mainly to protect the ears and sensitive skull, otherwise the artillery will have to shake out the lesion in the long run.
