The peasants, who were looking forward to the spring harvest for joy, were shocked to find that the soldiers had come to search their homes.

"The new king has an order, our country is in great danger, we must buy more weapons, please leave twenty catties of wheat, and the rest of the wheat will be handed over!"

This time, the peasants were finally outraged, and the vast majority of them chose to rebel, unwilling to hand over the grain.

However, the resistance was ineffective, and there was mourning everywhere, and some of them were even beaten to death when they resisted violently.

In just a few days, Utan Pradesh has become a hell on earth, with angry scolding and cries in every household.

In the north, on the other hand, it is peaceful.

The peasants of the North, who did not even know that war was about to break out in the southern state, were simple and honest, running from village to village and farmland every day, watching the wheat slowly turn yellow.

The merchants were also in good spirits and ready to buy the peasants' wheat on a large scale. State governments have stepped up efforts to revamp farmers' markets, encourage farmers to do business, and even repeatedly lower taxes after consulting the palace.

In such vitality, Luo Lan also smiled from ear to ear.

He received 80,000 arrows on the west coast as they went north.

Daisy, who couldn't keep her mouth shut like him, immediately began to "assemble line production" rockets.

Assembly line production is an idea put forward by Luo Lan not long ago, and the central idea is: 100 people specialize in dispensing gunpowder, 200 people specialize in making gunpowder cartridges, and 300 people specialize in transforming rockets.

This is actually a labor-intensive industrial model, which is the only way to go in the initial stage of industrialization. Labor-intensive, combined with the development of light industry, eventually led to the first industrial revolution.

"Get moving, work hard!"

In the northern mining area, Rick shouted loudly, a huge mining area is flat, hundreds of people work together, from the mine cave to the edge of the jungle, there are workers doing different jobs.

They finally assembled the rocket, pulled it by a wooden cart to the horse farm, and let the Guards receive it.

Luo Lan looked at the mining area with satisfaction at the horse farm and nodded secretly.

Then he smiled bitterly and called Rick, who had been shouting all day: "I said Rick, there is still a month of spring harvest, you have to go back to your old business, go make wheat." ”

Rick was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was the Minister of Agriculture, and he reluctantly said: "Your Highness is right, hey, I just found out now that I love the military more, and I have to find someone to take over my position as Minister of Agriculture." ”

"Don't fool around, wheat is more important than the military, now that the agricultural market is alive, your wheat can make a lot of money, you go to Elle and make a wheat company with her, remember, you want state-owned enterprises, and businessmen who invest don't have too many shares."

Luo Lan told him that Rick could understand these words, after all, he had heard them many times.

"Okay, don't be in such a hurry this year, we still have two big waterways, and this year we will definitely let the southerners also use wheat!"

Rick rushed to the wheat workshop, and Luo Lan called Carl and asked him about the training.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we have already trained five hundred soldiers, and the horses have also been trained, and now the horses are not afraid of explosions." Carl excitedly reported, "Twenty cartridge transmitters have been made, do you want to see them?" ”

"Look, let the soldiers come to the racecourse with the transmitters, and bring some rockets over, and we'll test it today."

A fire ignited in Luo Lan's heart, and the most important thing he attached to was undoubtedly the cartridge transmitter.

Karl immediately went to do it, and Luo Lan ordered the soldiers of the horse farm to drive the horses aside and vacate a large flat land with a backer.

The flat land of this mountain is very wide, it was dug by Rick and people in the first place, and most of the mountain in front of it has been blown up.

Half an hour later, Karl came with hundreds of soldiers, all of whom were new recruits, had never been on the battlefield at all, and had been training in slashing and riding horses lately.

Looking at their immature looks, Luo Lan shook her head amusedly.

If these soldiers were allowed to slash and kill the elite outside, they would definitely die a miserable death. Even if Barrett went to war, it was completely scared.

To put it bluntly, he has no soldiers under him who can fight.

Thankfully, they don't usually need to be slashed in close quarters.

Luo Lan glanced at the soldiers, the soldiers all held their heads high, they were not equipped with long swords, because they simply did not have enough long swords.

But they were in groups of four, each carrying a canister transmitter.

The cartridge launcher has to be almost a meter long, and although the structure inside is not complicated, it is not lightweight, especially after carrying thirty-two rockets.

There are a total of 20 barrel transmitters, which are controlled by more than 100 people and arranged in three rows.

Some of the soldiers were substitutes, and when the operator was wounded or killed, the substitutes took over, ensuring that the cartridge transmitter would not be interrupted.

"Do you see the mountain in front of you? A hundred meters away from you, you will use the mountain as cavalry and blast it to pieces. ”

Luo Lan said, and the soldiers shouted yes!

There was no ink, and in this humble training ground, a joint combat exercise of barrel launchers began.

The soldiers and workers in the vicinity watched with wide eyes, they knew that the rocket was powerful, but they had never seen so many canister launchers practicing together.

"I remembered that with a cartridge transmitter, you must maintain a three-stage firing formation, after the first row is fired, the second row is filled, the second row is launched, and the third row is filled. The person who retreats replenishes the rocket as soon as possible, and so on, the interval between the three shots cannot exceed one minute, remember? Carl snapped.

"Remember!" The soldiers were like rainbows.

In the era of complex firearm operation, the three-stage shot effectively solved the problem of reloading, so that firearm firing could be carried out uninterruptedly.

"Ready!"

A soldier shouted, and Carl glanced back at Luo Lan, who nodded to signal the drill to begin.

Suddenly, three rows of soldiers loaded arrows, two carried cartridge transmitters, two loaded arrows, and after thirty-two rockets were loaded, the soldiers near the ignition lit the fuse.

There is only one lead, which extends into the transmitter, and then ignites the gunpowder in the launch tank, which in turn ignites the leads of the rockets in the barrel, thus burning each other, igniting all the powder cartridges.

This is still a rather backward ignition method, but there is no way, the process technology can only be like this.

Five seconds after ignition, the first row of canister transmitters made a roaring sound, puffs of black smoke rose up, and hundreds of rockets were fired out without interruption.

100 meters away, but in the blink of an eye, the crooked rocket is inserted. It went into the soil of the mountain and went deeper than ten centimeters.

The cartridge transmitter does not require a good head, it only seeks saturation attack.

The mountain was immediately turned into a beecomb by the torrent of rockets.

"Second paragraph!"

Karl shouted, and the soldiers in the first row immediately retreated, retreated to the third row, and began to reload the rockets.

The second platoon stepped forward and repeated the firing action.

A total of 2,000 rockets were launched in less than five minutes under the array of three-stage strikes.

Black smoke billowed out, the mountain mud flew, I don't know how many holes were shot out, and many places were on fire.

The soldiers and workers watching from the sidelines were shocked, clapping their hands wildly one by one, this kind of lethality, not to mention the cavalry, even the bears can't bear it.

Of course, they are shocked because they have never seen it, and they will not be surprised if they get used to it.

For example, Luo Lan, Luo Lan was not satisfied, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, and the twenty barrel transmitters were still too small and not strong enough.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" The excited Carl asked as if he was invited, and Luo Lan nodded and smiled: "Yes, continue training." Remember, slash also needs to be trained, and don't be wasted just because you have rockets. ”

"Understood!"
