January 30th of the Ming calendar, midnight.

On the streets of the largest city-state city on the continent of Saturn, the city of Gistanpur, there was silence everywhere.

All the inhabitants of the city-state had fallen asleep at this time.

In front of a two-story small building located on the corner of Sunset Street in Gistanpur, Jiang Yan led more than a dozen Jinyi guards under her command to appear in front of this small building.

After finding out that there were no secret whistles around, Jiang Yan gestured to his subordinates, and a brocade guard who was proficient in unlocking quickly stood in front of the door of the small building, and it only took less than a minute to pry open the door of the small building.

Jiang Yan waved her hand, and more than a dozen masters of the brocade guard quickly rushed into the small building, leaving Jiang Yan alone to stand outside and wait, in case someone jumped off the building and escaped.

Five minutes passed, and everything seemed to be going fairly smoothly.

Jiang Yan could clearly feel that her subordinates had cleaned up all the rooms on the first floor, and were now preparing to start cleaning the second floor.

Unbeknownst to her, less than two minutes later, she heard a slight sound of fighting coming from a room on the second floor.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"It's rubbish, it's not good to do anything."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a black figure break out of a window in a room on the second floor and land on the street not far from Jiang Yan.

Fortunately, at this time, the glass windows of Daming have not yet been fully popularized, and this room on the second floor is still using paper windows, so it does not make too much noise.

Jiang Yan disappeared from where she was standing in an instant, and with the light of the short sword, she appeared from the shadow of the person who had escaped, and a bloody arrow erupted from the man's throat, and his body immediately fell slowly to the ground.

The thief's legendary skill "Shadow Kill" is really extraordinary!

Fortunately, there was only one accident in the whole operation, and when the masters of the Jinyi Guard killed everyone upstairs, Jiang Yan led them to quickly evacuate the scene of the crime.

At the same time, a similar assassination took place in a house on the other side of the city of Gistanpur, and it was very successful, without incident.

On the night of the next day, when another intelligence organization heard the news and was about to evacuate the Saturn continent as a whole, they were also surrounded by the personnel of the Ming Jinyi Guard, and all the personnel of this intelligence organization were wiped out in one fell swoop.

The news of the extermination of the three Assassin intelligence organizations on the Saturn continent quickly spread among the secret organizations, and the underground world began to face up to the existence of this new empire on the Saturn continent for the first time.

As for the three powerful assassins and intelligence organizations, no one was interested in them anymore at this time, after all, these three organizations were not one of the influential organizations in the industry in the first place.

On February 2, Wen Jiming went to the Institute of Magic again to find Aristock to discuss the issue of new weapons.

The Ming army has now all been equipped with bolt-action rifles, but Wen Jiming is still not very satisfied with the army's firepower.

First of all, the army's artillery attack range is too close, and Wen Jiming needs long-range howitzers with an artillery range of more than two kilometers, equipped with a minimum of twelve pound shells.

Howitzers and mortars have been worked out last year, but they have not yet been equipped into the army. At that time, when Wen Jiming and Aristock exchanged opinions, Aristock meant that he wanted to improve again and then equip the army.

However, Aristock has too many projects in his hands, and it is very likely that he has not focused all his energy on this matter, so Wen Jiming feels that he must talk to him.

Sure enough, when Wen Jiming came to the Magic Research Institute, Aristock was about to go out to the Communication Technology Research Branch, and Wen Jiming quickly pulled him back.

Alistock was very inexplicable, he stopped and asked Wen Jiming.

"What's the matter, why are you holding me back and not letting me go?"

Wen Jiming looked helpless and asked with a wry smile.

"Last year, you said that at the beginning of this year, you promised to do a good job of long-range howitzers and heavy machine guns, and now that it's early February, can you distribute these new types of equipment to all units before the end of the month?"

Aristock patted his forehead and said.

"Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you last time, these things have been finalized, they will be put into large-scale production this month, and they should be equipped to the troops at the end of this month."

"And mortars? Can it be completed by the end of this month? ”

Aristok nodded.

"Yes, these new equipment will be distributed to all units at the same time, and this time the howitzer has a range of 2.5 kilometers, which is far greater than the maximum distance of the magician's long-range magic."

"Oh yes, I didn't tell you one more thing, this time we no longer use the weight of the shells as a criterion for distinguishing artillery, but use the caliber size of the artillery to distinguish it, and this time the howitzers issued to the artillery units are 120 mm caliber."

I'll go, this is the standard of World War I on Earth?

Wen Jiming was very surprised.

However, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he also found that his mood of suffering from gains and losses was not good.

What's wrong with the First World War, aren't the mortars and heavy machine guns you built yourself the things of the First World War?

It's just tanks and armored vehicles!

However, Wen Jiming obviously doesn't want to do these things at present, one is that the cavalry can still play a great role now, and the other reason, and the most important reason, is that it is too much steel, and there are not many steel mills in the Ming Empire at present.

However, what if the other world directly leaps into the cosmic era, it can't reach the earth anyway.

The more advanced the development of science and technology on this side of one's side, the greater the impact on this other world, and the greater the change in the rules of this universe, which is very beneficial to one's own godhood.

Moreover, in the end, he really can't expect the gods of this world to turn a blind eye to him, by that time, he must have involved a lot of their interests, and only interests are the bridge that links the friendship between the two sides, and this has been the case since ancient times.

As the German Prime Minister Bismarck said in one of his speeches.

"Truth is only within the range of a cannon, and there is no such thing as failure for the indomitable. The great problems of our time cannot be solved by speeches and resolutions of the majority, but by iron and blood. ”

The same applies to the other world.

Then, everything will start to be endorsed by the cannon!

Thinking of this, Wen Jiming immediately agreed with Aristock's decision.

"It's a good idea, it's much more appropriate than using the weight of the shell to distinguish it, after all, we don't use round solid shells anymore, that old standard is completely outdated!"

Aristock was delighted.

"I'm glad that the two of us can have the same idea, I thought so at the beginning, and now it's much better to use caliber to divide, the larger the caliber, the more powerful it is."

"But I suddenly remembered another problem, now our army can basically reach, at a long distance, can hit the enemy's army, the current possibility of melee combat is much lower than before, our soldiers do not need to wear a full set of protective gear, so we can save most of the cost on armor."

Aristock's thoughts, once again, came to mind.

Wen Jiming originally wanted to replace the unnecessary equipment in the army and replace it with modern military uniforms.

After all, the Ming army stopped using this method of shooting with platoon guns last year, and the emergence of bolt-action rifles has changed the way of shooting.

The soldiers of the Ming army were accustomed to lying down and shooting and using military bunkers, so it was completely out of place to wear a set of bulky armor.

The two coincided again, and Wen Jiming finally began to admire Aristock from his heart.

"Aristock, I find your mind really sharp and organized, this time we both thought of going together, I'll go to the military headquarters later, and let them come up with a new uniform design. Take the burden off the soldiers. ”

Because it was the first time that Wen Jiming had praised him like this, Aristock was a little restrained, he scratched the back of his head, and replied a little embarrassed.

"Yes, haha, I usually like to think a lot, I really didn't expect the two of us to think together. However, what you say to me is what I want to say to you. Wen, you are such a genius! ”

Boss Wen was finally embarrassed at this time.

He muttered secretly in his heart, forget about genius, I'm just a porter!
