Since von Rond and Caroline came to Gensokyo with the original Yarman and other guard knights, they have two biggest headaches: one is the number and overall strength of the people on their side, and the other is the overall construction of the Teutonic camp.

However, this kind of thing can't be rushed into a hurry, after all, there are too many factors that will interfere with the speed of construction, and besides, at present, there can be more than 10,000 immortal laborers and a large number of human inhabitants hired by money to help the construction, and the Teutonic camp can quickly develop from an ordinary campsite to today's scale during this period of time, which is already an extremely terrifying speed, but compared with the expected overall situation, it really needs to develop faster, otherwise it is really as Feng Longde speculated- When the Teutonic Fortress was completely completed, Reimu and Marisa changed from girls to sisters

During this time, in addition to the development problems of the people, Feng Longde was most concerned about all the construction, production and research and development of the Teutonic camp, and the overall state of the troops.

In terms of the first layer of the fortress wall, judging from the current construction progress, Sewell's report to von Longde is to ensure that it can be completely completed in early January, and the part of the city wall that has now been completed has begun to be equipped with corresponding heavy weapons on the tower, such as giant ballistas and Romulud flamethrowers, which are the Teutonic Empire heavy weapons restored by the corpse witch technicians, and many other light and heavy weapons that need to be arranged, such as MG42 general purpose machine guns, 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 105mm anti-aircraft guns, The 128mm anti-aircraft gun and various other World War II German weapons will still need a period of time for the weapons factory to restore and reproduce the drawings through the technical restoration and assembly, so that the first layer of the fortress wall has a strong defense and a terrifying firepower pouring ability.

At the weapons factory, Feng Longde learned that they had just restored some of the unique alchemy weapon technologies of the Teutonic Empire, such as the first batch of finished products for various types of magic crystal cannons and magic crystal hand cannons, but if you want to drive them, you need a lot of magic power or magic crystal magic cores, and now in the material warehouse of the Teutonic camp, although there are a lot of magic crystals artificially synthesized from excess elemental energy in the material warehouse of the Teutonic camp every day, these are not enough for all alchemy weapons to be shot a few times. Therefore, it can only be produced and placed in the completed part of the first layer of the fortress wall and the headquarters fort, and it is still a long process to be installed in the troops, and the magic crystals will be too many to be used

In addition to the extremely energy-intensive alchemical weapons, the Teutonic Heavy Stone Throwing Machine was also produced and placed in the completed part of the first level of the fortress wall and the headquarters fort, and for this purpose, Feng Longde also needed to awaken many souls of silence once again: operating the Teutonic Heavy Stone Throwing Machine required specialized technicians and craftsmen who were responsible for the usual maintenance. The latter can be said to be able to gradually bring out apprentices through the staff of the weapons factory, but the former needs to go to the battlefield of flesh and blood, so it is very necessary to awaken the souls of the Soul of Silence who are specifically doing this.

In the same way, all kinds of heavy weapons of the German army in World War II that can be produced after a period of time will also need to be operated and used by corresponding professional soldiers, which is not a problem that can be solved by just pulling a few Boghall soldiers. The Alchemy weapons of the Teutonic Empire are not only quite cumbersome in the production process, but they are also very easy to use, and it can be said that anyone can use them skillfully as long as they know a few simple operation steps, but this is not the case with modern weapons, especially heavy weapons, which require specialized professional technical soldiers to use. Ordinary soldiers can't give full play to their full abilities if they only understand the most basic operating steps, otherwise how can there be many kinds of professional soldiers in the modern army with such a detailed division of labor, all of which are popular goods?

Feng Longde is well aware of the characteristics of the previous Teutonic Empire army, that is, it has extremely high discipline and order, and at the same time has fierce and direct melee combat habits, as well as a variety of long-range strike methods and a combat strategy similar to the sea of skulls in the game; it can be said that if the enemy is not familiar with its rhythm, even if he has the advantage, it is easy to be reversed by the Teutons once he fights, because in terms of the rhythm of war, there are few things that are more strange and chaotic and nonsensical than the Teutons. The most incomprehensible thing is that it is easy to be led by the nose and cannot grasp the initiative

But in the same way, Feng Longde also discovered that if it was to face the armies of the Cold Weapon Age, or to put it closely, the armies of various countries until the Gentlemen's War. In the past, the army of the Teutonic Empire would have an absolute superiority and win the battle with small losses, but if we were to face a modern army that was overwhelming with all kinds of firepower and attacked all kinds of high-tech means of warfare at every turn, Feng Longde was sure that it would only be the former Teutonic Empire army that would be unlucky, and it could not be a modern army. Just like the Burghall army with a total of less than 400 men and the Aztec army of more than 10,000 in the King's Guard, if the gap between the times is too great, it will be difficult to make up for it by absolute numbers alone.

Therefore, what von Longde had to do was to gradually modernize the Teutonic army, step by step—of course. With the previous style of the Teutonic Empire, it is impossible to completely transform into a purely modern army, but they must understand the way the modern army fights and be proficient in all the things that need to be known in it, so that since they can improve the overall strength of the Teutonic Empire, which is already explosive in battle, they can also face the modern army in the future, and they will not suffer if they really face the modern army, although Feng Longde really does not want the Teutonic army trained by himself to fight with the modern armies of various countries in the real world

Feng Longde really wanted to build it. It is an army that has a modern combat concept and modern equipment while retaining the fierce and courageous style of Teutonic in the traditional sense: this kind of army is more adaptable to all kinds of battlefields in various situations than the army of the pure elite cold weapon era and the army of the powerful modern period, and with the advantages of two combat styles, they can be said to be the nightmare of any army -- except for the long-range firepower strike that is good at the concept of modernization and the cruel hand-to-hand combat skills that modern people have almost forgotten, The Teutonic army, which has both powerful magical abilities and nightmarish afterlife abilities that set off a frenzy of the dead, can be said to be a nightmare for any army, because no one will not collapse in the face of an army that fights more and more, and among the armies that have been able to read about it in history, only the army of the Teutonic Empire is fighting more and more. It is also possible that the quantity will increase without losing quality, and there will be almost no demoralization collapse, which is the most terrifying thing about the Teutonic army.

"I hate all the armies of the Teutonic Knights in the human world, especially the undead creatures in them who claim to be the dead, they are all unbeatable!!" These words came from an abyssal demon nobleman in the Abyss of Annihilation, who only had such feelings after fighting the army of the Teutonic Knights.

The soul is eternal and immortal, and only those who understand this truth can only be found. Only then can I understand the reason why the abyssal demon nobleman would say this sentence: if the deceased die, there is still a soul, and if the soul is annihilated, there is still soul energy, and according to the law of conservation of energy, soul energy cannot disappear or be eliminated out of thin air, but as long as the opportunity is right, the soul energy will produce new souls of the deceased, and the cycle will be repeated, and the cycle will be endless. And all beings with souls will always end up with the deceased. Be a part of it.

That's why even the traditional Teutonic armies, which had no modern weapons, were so terrifying: any enemy who fought with the Teutonic armies would find that their own armies were fighting less and less, while the Teutonic armies were fighting more and more

In the past half a month, the weapons factory also lived up to Feng Longde's expectations, when they finished producing the first batch of Teutonic Empire-standard alchemy weapons and began to restore a large number of types of German heavy weapons in World War II, they once again produced the second batch of weapons that could be equipped with troops: barge guns.

Barge gun, this is just one of the common names for this firearm in Huaxia. Its official name was the Mauser military pistol, which was divided into two types: automatic pistols and semi-automatic pistols, which were not particularly commonly used in Europe and the United States at the time. Even German officers rarely use this kind of firearm and use Luger pistols, but in China at that time, this kind of firearms were popular and were mass-produced and used, and played a big role in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and even the subsequent War of Liberation.

The reason why barge guns were not commonly used in European and American armies in the last century. The reason is that the barge gun has serious ricochet, low burst accuracy, and complex workmanship, resulting in its high production cost; for the European and American armies, this kind of firearm is too large to use as a pistol. In addition, if the shell gun wants to shoot fully automatic, it is necessary to combine the wooden magazine into the gun body as a butt in advance to control the muzzle jump, but this is too complicated to operate, and it is difficult to carry, after all, it is definitely not enough to carry such a big thing to the battlefield.

Of course, these are not the main reasons: the key is that in that era, with the invention and emergence of new weapons due to scientific and technological progress, the full-body submachine gun and the fully automatic rifle that appeared later completely replaced the barge gun, which can have an advantage over ordinary pistols, and the European and American armies have an advantage over ordinary pistols because they have enough submachine guns and machine guns, so their demand for pistols is mainly lethal. Reliability and small size mean they don't use shell guns too often.

At that time, the most widely used barge gun was only in Huaxia. After the end of the First World War, in view of the lessons of the war, Western countries restricted the export of weapons to developing countries, and weapons such as repeating rifles were not allowed to enter developing countries, but at that time shell guns were not restricted, so Huaxia imported and produced a large number of shell guns to make up for the lack of its own automatic firepower; , which is not loved by the officers and soldiers of all forces in China.

Because of its powerful firepower and short muzzle, the muzzle of the shell gun jumps quite obviously when firing, and generally it can only fire two shots in a row, and the bullets in the third shot basically cannot hit anyone; however, in a long-term actual battle, the officers and men of Huaxia have naturally improved this problem: they have adopted a horizontal hand-held gun--in this way, no matter how the muzzle beats, it will always be in the horizontal direction, and the hit rate will naturally increase. Relatively speaking, the bandits in China are the most creative, such as the phoenix three nods, seven plum blossom guns and other firing methods can be described as countless, maybe when the Mauser company developed this gun, would not have thought that someone would play their pistols so vividly

Due to the well-known logistical supply pressure and the current production intensity, Feng Longde did not expect his weapons factory to produce German-style submachine guns and a large number of bullets with them, and it is not bad to have a high-powered pistol such as a barge gun: in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the barge gun showed its talents, and the Chinese German soldier holding the barge gun and Mauser rifle is his most distinctive image, and Feng Longde's junior high school Chinese textbooks and history textbooks have pictures of this, as if there are also political textbooks

This batch of barge guns was directly issued by Feng Longde to the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers as a new armament, allowing them to use the cavalry spear, In addition to the Tomahawk and Round Shield as heavy rangers and hoplites, they can also use the barge gun as a heavy cannon infantry and hand cannon cavalry at short and medium distances (the barge gun is too big as a pistol, and it is not too much to say that it is a hand cannon), making their combat ability and strategic use more powerful and diversified; to further enhance their overall combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.

There is also a reason why the Boghall riflemen were equipped with Luger pistols as secondary weapons, and the other Boghall units and Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers were equipped with shell guns as secondary weapons. (To be continued.) )
