Chapter 430: Artillery!

"Yes!" The man in black nodded, and then sat down on Zhao Yun's designated position without a little hesitation, straightened his body, and stared at Zhao Yun tightly, as if he wanted to keep all the characteristics of Zhao Yun's body firmly in mind, this kind of madness is really unimaginable from a mysterious intelligence officer!

"Wait!!" Suddenly, Zhao Yun looked at the man in black with wide eyes, because at this moment Zhao Yun found an unbelievable thing, that is, there were two obvious protrusions on the chest of the man in black, that, that was a woman's characteristics!

shuddered, if Zhao Yun didn't have a problem with his ears, the tone of the man in black would have always been baritone, right? Although it sounds a little feminine, it is also a real man, a man, and his chest actually thinks of the eyes of the man in black as if they were bubbling stars

wanted to vomit, his abdomen was rolling, Zhao Yun's forehead overflowed with a burst of cold sweat, and his face was extremely ugly!!

"What the hell are you" Zhao Yun's meaning was very vague, and he forced his surname to turn his eyes in other directions, and there was a bit of uncertainty in his tone, which was a very incredible thing for Zhao Yun, who had always said that one was one and two was two. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yun's tone was a little apprehensive!!

"General, this is?" Seeing that Zhao Yun's situation was a little strange, the man in black was stunned, and still asked in that somewhat feminine male voice. For intelligence officers, the important surname in terms of appearance is not strong, after all, the Tibetan year is hidden under the face scarf, and it is rare to show people with their true faces, of course, this cannot be said that intelligence officers are shameless, after all, people will have a love for beauty.

In fact, what intelligence officers are best at should be to observe words and looks!

For an outstanding intelligence officer, only by grasping the other party's every move and controlling the direction of the situation can he be an absolute elite, but the man in black has already lost his calm after Zhao Yun's shock, especially in his heart to worship Zhao Yun for obtaining such a status at a young age, which makes the situation between the two sides a little confusing, and no one can really dominate everything.

"No, no" shook his head, and Zhao Yun secretly calmed down. At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly blamed himself a little, as a general with thousands of troops in his hands, he was messed up because of the other party's physical characteristics, this is really a bit undeserved, it seems that the recent pressure on Zhao Yun from all sides has caused Zhao Yun to be a little nervous.

"I don't know what His Highness's orders are?" After Zhao Yun calmed down, he looked at the man in black with a tense face and asked without any expression. In fact, the relationship between the two sides is also very simple, one is a senior spy, responsible for conveying Liu Tai's will, and the other is the executive general, there is no other possibility of intersection between the two sides, why care about the other party? Maybe after one meeting, we will never see each other again?

"Frowning slightly, Zhao Yun's expression changed, the man in black has always been in his heart, looking at Zhao Yun's tense face, looking like a businessman, for some reason, the man in black is a little unnatural in his heart, of course, the identity of the man in black is destined to do more things than the task, you know, although the identity of the Wind Ranger of the Dragon Department is not ordinary, but in front of Zhao Yun who is like Zhongtian, he is just a scout who delivers news!!

"The general should remember the secret weapon that has been developed in Northern Xinjiang for many years, right?" The man in black did not directly say Liu Tai's will, but said to Zhao Yun in a conversational manner. Secret Weapon! In fact, in Northern Xinjiang, there are many things that belong to the scope of secrets, but these secrets are open secrets to the real core figures, such as Zhao Yun and other top futures!

"Secret weapon? Which one? Zhao Yun was stunned, and looked at the man in black with a little puzzlement and asked. For a long time, because of Liu Tai's whimsy, the Ministry of Industry responsible for the development has many topics, including the study of the kinetic energy of battleships, the study of how to talk about the flight conversion form of kites, as well as the research of land artillery and non-commissioned soldiers' weapons.

"Artillery!" Two words, simple and clear, the eyes of the man in black looked extremely solemn, after seeing Zhao Yun's shocked expression when he heard the word artillery, the man in black nodded and continued: "General, as early as many years ago, His Highness drew up drawings and handed them to the Ministry of Industry, asking the Ministry of Industry to build artillery with the drawings in the same way, but over the years, although there have been many models of artillery, they have not been recognized by His Highness!" ”

"Wait" Zhao Yun suddenly interrupted the man in black, and asked out loud with a slightly pale face: "You mean that the portable artillery has really been studied by those crazy people?" ”

Zhao Yun's expression was ugly, there was even a little horror in his eyes, and his slightly trembling hands all showed that Zhao Yun's mentality was very unstable at the moment, and this situation should not happen to Zhao Yun, but at this time, Zhao Yun showed it profoundly.

Artillery, is it really so terrifying?

The "general" looked at Zhao Yun with a wry smile, Zhao Yun's appearance naturally couldn't hide the thoughts in his heart, and the man in black, who was good at observing words and feelings, guessed what Zhao Yun was afraid of in an instant! As far as the man in black knows, as early as a few years ago, the research of artillery was close to Dacheng, and Zhao Yun, who was idle in Huacheng at that time, also participated in the test of artillery power!

At that time, the artillery developed by the Ministry of Industry was very large, weighing nearly dozens of tons! And the gunpowder capacity of the cannonball can also be guessed from the volume, so much gunpowder is piled up together, and the explosion produced can be described as earth-shattering, and even many people were slightly shocked in the explosion, and they couldn't help but leave a video in their hearts, among which Zhao Yun is the representative figure!

The power of the artillery is indeed terrifying, and at that time, the researchers were worried that the artillery would hurt Liu Tai if it went off, so the place where the artillery was placed was a little far away from the viewing platform inspected by Liu Tai, but the question was, who was Liu Tai? What winds and waves have not been seen? What is it about looking at the power of artillery from such a distance? Even if the artillery is powerful, it is unlikely to bring any shock to Liu Tai, right?

All along, Liu Tai has revealed a little information to the generals, that is, the future of northern Xinjiang, it is very likely that the direction of development will be the era of thermal weapons, of course, what does thermal weapons represent, the generals are not very clear, in order to let the generals have a bottom in their hearts, when testing the artillery, at least more than 20 senior generals are accompanied, most of these generals are fierce generals on the battlefield, such as Zhao Yun, such as Huang Zhong, such as Guan Yu and others.

As a fierce general on the battlefield, the most confident thing has always been the knife and gun in his hand, this is not a good habit, if Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others can't understand the power of artillery, then how many more people will die in the cold weapon war in the future? You must know that Liu Tai's ambition is not to unify Middle-earth, the unification of Middle-earth is pitiful for Liu Tai, challenging the low surname, Liu Tai's eyes have long been on the surrounding countries, and against the natives of these countries, Liu Tai is not willing to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to fight hard!

Artillery! It is a symbol of the beginning of a new era, of course, just having artillery, does not mean that Northern Xinjiang has entered the era of thermal weapons, to adapt to the existence of artillery, this is a very long process, what Liu Tai wants is not to completely arm the Han to the peak, but to bring the future Han Lion to the bright road of thermal weapons, at least, can not be those foreign devils are still behind!

There are advantages and disadvantages to observing the power of artillery at close range, and the disadvantages will not be mentioned for the time being, except for the deafening, there is nothing else, and the advantage is the most obvious, that is, the generals can really feel the horror of artillery.

As we all know, the artillery developed in ancient times is generally thunder, rain is small, except for a limited number of models, the power of other artillery is not large, this state continued to the end of the Ming Dynasty, well, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty do not seem to like the study of artillery, so the Qing Dynasty is not considered artillery history.

Liu Tai's research and development of artillery is different, Liu Tai has always been committed to the development of artillery departments, the power of artillery as much as possible, it doesn't matter after a long time, gunpowder is wasted and the United States relations, in Liu Tai's view, with half of the country's northern Xinjiang can absolutely afford, this is actually not appropriate, completely ignoring the problem of artillery transportation, after the successful development of artillery, there is a lot of trouble at this point.

The test firing of the artillery was very successful, and the terrifying shells turned a small hill in the distance into a huge crater, and the pungent smell of gunpowder from the thick flame carriers made the soldiers dizzy, and many generals were frightened by the terrifying power of the artillery for a long time.

Among them, Zhao Yun and other generals did not have enough defense, and they were closest to the artillery, which led to a lot of contamination of the spark in the back seat of the artillery, among which the most unlucky Guan Yu almost burned his beard, as the saying goes, the master of art is bold, which is clearly reflected in the situation at the time, but the problem is that manpower is a little insignificant in front of the terrifying artillery like Tianwei!

No one knows, because of that test artillery, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei and others have left a little shadow on the artillery, and whenever Liu Tai ordered everyone to go to inspect the power of the artillery, they couldn't help but tremble secretly, which was frightened by the terrifying power of the artillery.

Although Liu Tai was satisfied with the test firing of the artillery at that time, Gao Shun, who had been in charge of the logistics and transportation, put forward a different opinion, that is, how to transport the artillery weighing dozens of tons? Doesn't that accomplish fixing in one place? You know, although the range of artillery is good, it can't look around the whole situation, so if you use defense, a medium-sized city needs at least four guns, and the cost of artillery is astronomical

It took a long time to study artillery, and the amount of money invested can be said to be innumerable, Liu Tai learned from the report submitted by Xun Yu that the annual expenses of an artillery research and development team are equivalent to the annual military expenses of 50,000 Tianci army! The most important thing is that in order to promote the rapid prototyping of artillery troops, Liu Tai has become two artillery squads, that is to say, the annual expenses paid by Northern Xinjiang for artillery troops are equivalent to raising an additional 100,000 Tianci troops!!

This is a terrifying amount, but Liu Tai can only grit his teeth and hold on in order to make the artillery come out, but Gao Shun's words suddenly sent the artillery research and development department into hell!

Dozens of tons of artillery, not to mention materials and other issues, it will not be able to fight long-distance for a long time, I am sorry for the payment of northern Xinjiang, the reason why Liu Tai is to develop artillery, is not to defend the city and fight the princes of the Central Plains, it is completely to deal with those foreign devils, in history, foreign devils opened the door to China with artillery, then, Liu Tai will have to return the tooth for a tooth, and a hundred times back, with artillery to burn the civilization of foreign devils!

After understanding the shortcomings of heavy artillery, Liu Tai can be said to be a big disappointment, back then, so many years of investment, it is impossible to give up like this, in order to be able to develop a cannon that is easy to transport and the power is not too weak, Liu Tai gave a death order to the artillery research and development team, within two years, it is necessary to send the portable artillery into the various units of the Tianci Army, and train a group of specialized artillery operation personnel, into the various units to serve!

In order to supervise the hard work of the artillery team, Liu Tai also gave instructions for rewards and punishments, if someone can make outstanding contributions to the portable artillery and promote the early birth of the portable artillery, then he will be able to obtain a very high medal of honor, and there will be a large amount of money generals.

But if the two artillery squads can't develop portable artillery within two years, then Liu Tai should consider streamlining the personnel and transferring some of the responsible persons to other positions, after all, the establishment of Northern Xinjiang has only been more than ten years, so there are so many funds and manpower and material resources that can make the artillery squad squander uncontrollably, Liu Tai is not a big wrongdoer!

It is worth mentioning that it has only been a little more than a year since Liu Tai's agreement, that is to say, it is very likely that the news brought by the man in black this time is that the portable artillery has been successfully developed!!

"Could it be that the portable artillery has been successfully developed??" Zhao Yun's complexion changed suddenly, although the heavy artillery left a shadow in Zhao Yun's heart, it was not to the extent of being terminally ill, but sometimes when he thought about it, his heart would be a little blocked, and from the words of the man in black, Zhao Yunlian thought of the situation that the artillery team had been developing portable artillery in full swing for more than a year!

"The general deserves to be a famous general, which makes the general think of it!" slapped Zhao Yun a little on the back, but obviously, Zhao Yun didn't have any special expression, the man in black seemed to have slapped the horse's leg? I saw the black-clothed man tugging slightly under the scarf, and he looked very helpless about Zhao Yun's indifferent look.

"After more than a year of research and development, the two artillery squads each developed a model, named after the dragon's fury and the tiger's roar, shortly after the army left Hwaseong, the two squads tested the power of the artillery respectively, it is reported that the report of the artillery surnamed Neng was submitted to His Highness, His Highness was very satisfied with the artillery, and approved the first batch of artillery to be transported to the front line and penetrated into the battlefield, and the first two artillery pieces will be tested at the general!" In just a few dozen breaths, a large number of words came out of the black-clothed man's mouth, and he handed over Liu Tai's meaning and the approval document for the artillery to penetrate into the battlefield with Zhao Yun.

"Into the war?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked aloud, as far as Zhao Yun knew, Liu Tai was so vigorously developing artillery to deal with foreign domains, but how could Zhao Yun allow artillery to be used in the Central Plains battlefield at this time? The terrifying power of artillery, is it a little too cruel to use it on the princes and soldiers?

Seeing Zhao Yun's unbelieving look, the man in black took out a document from his arms, there were many seals on the package of the document, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun saw the private seals belonging to Gao Shun, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others from above, and in the bottom corner of the package, there was also Liu Tai's private seal icon!!

This is a document that has passed through many people, and it is obvious that this is a top-secret document, and ordinary people are not qualified to view it at all, of course, Zhao Yun is an exception, if Zhao Yun is considered an ordinary person, then there are really few officials in Northern Xinjiang who are qualified to view this document.

After taking the letter, Zhao Yun glanced at the man in black, pursed his lips, and broke the seal of the document, although the document passed through the hands of many people, but the seal was very fresh, I think that every time I passed it, the document would be resealed, if the man in black did not get Liu Tai's dictation, I think he would not be qualified to bring this document to Zhao Yun, right?

There is not much content on the document, but it gives a general introduction to the power, caliber and weight of the artillery, the original heavy artillery volume is about tens of tons, but the volume of the new artillery is only a few hundred kilograms, the caliber is 210 mm, the length is about 120 cm, and the two sides are also equipped with robe ears to adjust the position of the barrel.

After reading the introduction of the new artillery, Zhao Yun can be said to have taken a breath of cold air, such a big and transformative improvement can be formed in just one year, it is really a bit incredible, but Zhao Yun turned to the second page, and after reading the negative report of the new artillery, he was also a lot more comforted.

Although the new artillery is convenient, but because of its material problems, the power is very different from the original heavy artillery, if it is used for a long time, there will be a situation of explosion and overheating of the tube body causing paralysis, and this situation in the current situation, can not be improved in a short period of time, of course, although the shortcomings are a bit big, but for the north of Xinjiang from the era of cold weapons, into the era of hot weapons, it is an epoch-making qualitative progress.

If this kind of artillery can really achieve the effect on paperwork, then Zhao Yun can guarantee that in front of the alliance of princes who have no knowledge of thermal weapons at all, the Tianci army will definitely be able to show its might, and even because of the operating rules of the artillery, which are incomprehensible to ordinary people, well, the ability of Tianwei, it is likely to lead to a large-scale mutiny of the coalition soldiers.

For unknown things, they have always been covered with myths, especially the weapons in the hands of the Tianci Army, which will be exaggerated by others, after all, there is no network these days, and people can only guess with their own ideas, but the artillery was developed in Northern Xinjiang for several years, how can it be so easy for people to figure it out? In the case of incomprehension, those individual soldiers will naturally add other distorted interpretations, one to ten, ten to hundred, Zhao Yun believes that as long as the artillery is used on the battlefield, it will not take much time, it will become a terrifying shadow in the hearts of the allied soldiers!
