Chapter 25—Blood Stains the Earth (6)

"Why isn't there a tech tree that lights up the heavy artillery?" Lin Mengchu said unreasonably: "We don't need to study the navy and air force, all the points are piled up on the army's technology." This doesn't light up the tech tree of the heavy artillery."

Speaking of this, the girl's eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Have you embezzled all the money?"

"Kouhu!" Chen Cheng was anxious and argued: "You are shameless slander!" ”

"Hmph, then you should explain where the money went, no, explain why the technology is still so backward!"

"Ahh Although Chen Cheng knew that the girl was joking, he still explained: "There are a lot of things we need to study. In addition to army technology, it is also necessary to study industrial technology and machine tool technology, as well as seed improvement, road transportation, and logistics supply. Besides, even if it is army technology, there are infantry offensive weapons, infantry defensive weapons, field fortifications, and so on. ”

"Hmph, I'm just not happy to retreat anyway!" Lin Mengchu naturally knew that she was making trouble unreasonably, but except for being like this in front of Chen Cheng, she would not show anything in front of outsiders. Therefore, she continued to puff up: "I don't care, I want you to quickly make more and more powerful cannons!" ”

"Eh, then can I ask, Chu Chu, what kind of cannon do you want?"

"Cannons, naturally, the bigger the better, preferably the kind with range and power that can scare the enemy. For example, the 460 large pipe on the linen head is very good. ”

"Flax? The big pipe of the 460? Well, you mean the main guns on the battleship Yamato? Chen Cheng had an expression on his face that had eaten too much mustard, "Chu Chu, do you know that kind of flashy thing is enough for us to arm an army with many ordinary equipment?" ”

"I know, that's why I didn't ask you to take it out now."

"You think so highly of me. Let's not say that we don't have that kind of technology and strength, I want to ask you, even if we get the big pipe of the 460 out, how are you going to transport it to the front line? Transporting this kind of stuff on land is a desperate thing! ”

"Well, can't you transport it by rail? I remember the Germans built a super cannon called Dora and blew Paris to shreds. ”

"Yes, in the First World War, the Germans did this, but the cannon was not Dora, and Dora only appeared in the Second World War. The Parisian cannon was called the Grand Berta and was a mortar. However, the cannon barrel and gun carriage weigh 120 tons, although it can fire nearly 1 ton of shells to targets up to 14.5 kilometers away. Each shell used up nearly 200 kilograms of ******, requiring more than 200 gunners. ”

The Grand Berta can also fire armor-piercing shells with delayed fuses, causing them to explode after penetrating the target. However, it was so cumbersome that it had to be disassembled and hauled by a locomotive. It was also necessary to lay a special track in order to transport it to the gun mount. At the same time, due to the huge recoil it generates when fired, it is necessary to pour a concrete base several meters deep and blow it up as it moves. It took 6 hours just to place the gun emplacement.

"The previous paragraph is very suspicious of cheating the number of words," Lin Mengchu pointed out: "This kind of irrigation will be said to be bad." ”

"However, this is just a military history novel, isn't it normal to intersperse a little military knowledge?" Chen Cheng said innocently: "I haven't attached a large section of iron battleships yet. What about cruisers, destroyers, and so on. I remember someone who relied on water and all kinds of data to water hundreds of thousands of words. ”

"Hmm, which senior do you want to learn from?"

"It's not, if I did that, I would be cut in half every minute."

"Why do I feel like we're too crooked?"

"Yes, let's get to the point. I think it's better to continue to recruit infantry and cavalry, the training of artillery is much more troublesome than that of infantry and cavalry. The infantry only need to fire rifles, and the cavalry, just recruit more Mongols. If you are an artilleryman, you must at least know how to shoot the back of the watch, and if you are better, you must know a little parabola, but you can't just rely on not being afraid of death. ”

"That's what you're saying. So that is, I won't see the 460 cannon in ten years? ”

"If you really like it that much, we can go to Japan in a few years, and I heard that they have been doing this kind of evil in the twenties."

Lin Mengchu glared at Chen Cheng angrily, "Now the twentieth century has just begun, and it will not be until the twenties that the First World War will be over." Besides, I want us to have it ourselves, and the Japanese artillery has nothing to do with us. ”

"Then there is no way," Chen Cheng said: "The bigger the cannon, the better, but also with tactics, industrial level, and logistics and transportation." Hey, don't look frustrated, okay? You're not pretending to be like that, hey! Okay, okay, I'll have a little better news to make you happy. If all goes well, we can get a 280 caliber cannon out in five years, I wonder if this news will make you a little happier. ”

"The kind of siege artillery that appeared in the Russo-Japanese War?" The girl said with a lack of interest: "Although it is better to have something than nothing, but you also said that we can't send it to the front line at all." ”

"Well, I can't help it now, but maybe there will be a way in five years. As long as we can build a few standard railways, it will be possible to transport this kind of mass murder. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your cannon."

"Why do I hear a smell of pornography? Is it my delusion? ”

"No," said the girl calmly, "normal people can hear the hidden meaning behind these words. ”

"Can we discuss the current situation first? The Eight-Nation Coalition is dying a tragic death in front of us, wouldn't it be too peaceful to discuss this kind of topic? ”

"No, killing can inherently arouse the desire for destruction and **** of human beings. Unless you're not human anymore, there's nothing strange about it when you think of something erotic in this situation. ”

"What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
