King of Pullen (privately called) Draco. D. Char ordered the formation of a new hunting unit, and after more than a week of urgent recruitment and training, more than 640 hunters signed up in the refugee area, and finally 300 were confirmed to be recruited. The remaining three hundred and forty people were brushed off for various reasons, mainly because they were too old.
But the three hundred and forty were not left alone. According to the orders of the King of Pullen, the Arc Knight was responsible for forming the first regular PLA army in King Pullen, and the first to be included in the jurisdiction of the PLA army was the 340-strong long-range legion.
Why was the first ranged unit called "reloaded"?
It all started with an iron mine that the King of Pullen had discovered in the mountains not long ago.
One of the members of the Elite October Knights who was originally sent out to explore the terrain, the October Knights, codenamed Mouse, accidentally discovered a mineral field hidden in the mountains during an exploration. But it was just a small branch, and it didn't get the rat to pay attention at the time, and it was only reported to the top of Pullen as part of the mission report.
At the monthly high-level meeting of Pullen, the Knights of the Moon, the leader of the Elite Knights of October, reported the report to the King of Pullen in detail, and then the King of Pullen, who realized that there was a great opportunity hidden in it, immediately organized a team of men and horses, and brought the old miners from the royal capital back to the mountains.
After more than half a month of exploration, an entire mining strip was discovered. And what is surprising is that this iron ore is still a mother mine, with multiple branches deep into the mountain range 300 meters underground. Although it is impossible to mine and develop all of them, the surface part alone is enough to use the royal city of Puron for fifty years.
After obtaining the iron ore vein, the king of Pullen blocked the river vein in this area, and ordered everyone not to leak the slightest bit of mouth.
At the same time, he himself was alone against the royal capital, and met King Arthur to negotiate with her about the iron ore.
An hour later.
As the angry lion roared, Char, who was full of smugness, ran out. And successfully obtained the full acceptance documents of the iron mine. In this way, there is no need to worry about the nominal problem, and there is no need to share part of the benefits of the royal capital after the time-consuming and labor-intensive mining.
There's a lot to do after getting the iron ore.
First of all, Draco. D. Char established the "Ministry of National Strategic Weapons" around October of the 1st year of Great Britain, collectively referred to as the "Ministry of National Armed Forces", referred to as "GWB".
The GWB Strategic Weapons Organization and the PLA Military Department are both high-secret forces, and are also directly under the jurisdiction of the King of Pullen and the Twelve Guardian Knights, except for all officials inside and outside the King of Pullen, they have no jurisdiction or command power. Also for the Knights of the Round Table and the nobles of Great Britain, the treaty was still in force.
GWB is positioned as a high-end technology strategic engineering department, which belongs to one of the top secret departments of Pulen Wangcheng.
The members of the GWB are all made up of skilled people, and the main workers are still blacksmiths and carpenters, with a few shipwrights joining. The source of the members is still the Knights of the Holy Lancer, who are selected from among the refugees to join the city of Puron. However, the technical race is a minority, and from an optimistic point of view, it is not easy to select a few hundred people from tens of thousands.
But luckily, the Knight of the Holy Lancer has a very nimble mind, and in addition to selecting skilled workers in the refugee quarters, he will also make some shady deals with human traffickers in the British capital. Although the means are not very clean, they are very efficient. At least it was much more efficient than him taking four or five knights around to advertise and find people.
In the end, the GWB membership was determined to be 127 people, with blacksmiths accounting for more than 70 percent, and carpenters and shipwrights being relatively rare. Among them, shipwrights are the rarest, and their shipbuilding level is not high, and their skills need to be improved.
The wrought iron process of this era is obvious to all, and plate armor can already be produced...... Although it is not very efficient, they have been able to do it! This means that many of the weapon materials and design drawings stored in Char's mind are very likely to be made by the standards of this era.
However, it is clear that this is highly classified information and must not be leaked, especially about the production method of fish oil throwing grenades and musket forging.
As a result, GWB has been classified as S-Class Secret since its establishment, and GWB's headquarters are not located in Pulen King City.
The GWB's headquarters were set up in a secret location near the edge of the mountains, and the only people known to be there were the top Pullen and the "Joan of Arc Guard" and the Knights of Songs, who guarded it.
The establishment of the GWB was only a step slightly ahead of schedule, followed by the establishment of the Population and Resources Survey Management Department in the Puren Castle. Abbreviated as "Dispatch Department" or "TPC".
Along with the TPC, the Puren Wangcheng State Commission for Commerce and Trade (ITC) or WTO was acronymed.
So far, Pulun Wangcheng has set up five comprehensive departments, including the CIA (Ministry of National Security), PLA (Ministry of Military Affairs), GWB (Armed Logistics Department), TPC (Ministry of Population and Resources), and WTO (Commission on Commerce and Trade), with a total of more than 427 participants.
These more than 400 people were the first civil servants in the royal city of Pulun. However, their level is still at the end of this era, and there are many things that need to be improved. But it's good to be able to gather these more than 400 people who can read and write, and leave the rest to time to hone slowly.
Thanks to the cooperation of GWB (Armed Logistics) and TPC (Population Resources), the city of Puren has its first mining chain. This also means that the city of Puron has mastered the production and development of weapons, as well as the ability to export them.
At the same time, the Pulon King City also has its own production equipment and weapons, getting rid of the monopoly and restrictions of the nobles on the iron industry, so that the Pulon King City has taken a big step forward in the journey of independent operation!
Let's go back to the previous topic......
The first heavy long-range unit of the PLA consisted of three hundred and twenty experienced hunters. Why say it's a heavy ranged unit? Don't think too much about it, even if it's Drake. D. Char couldn't have given each of the archers steel armor or something...... That would be too extravagant to do with the current Pleon King City.
However, the reason why this ranged unit is called "reloaded" is not because of their defensive power, but because these people are called heavy ranged after they are equipped with heavy repeaters designed by Char himself.
As I said before, the iron-making process of this era has reached a mature stage, and many things can be made, but due to the limitations of human thought, many weapons, ships, buildings, crafts, etc. that could have been born have not appeared. For example, it is theoretically feasible to create an ocean-going fleet with the current technology, after all, the process technology has reached the threshold.
Char's reloaded repeater is the same, but this repeater is a little "bigger". It is not at the same level as the "Fire Phoenix Repeater" held by the Joan of Arc Guards.
The Heavy Repeater is a typical large weapon, which requires three or four soldiers to use it in a complex manner. And the fuselage alone has already reached eighty-six kilograms, which has an extremely high range and lethality. Can fire six small Iron Feather Arrows at the same time, or three Heavy Battle Crossbow Arrows.
Because of the use of gear drive and spring compression mode, the reloaded repeater can have a high range, high damage on the basis of better burst ability. Before the advent of the Gunpowder Army, the Heavy Repeater would undoubtedly be one of the most lethal ranged weapons in the city of Puren.
The heavy repeater is completely black, and the bow frame is painted with a death motif. When lying on the ground and erecting a tripod to aim at the sky, the arrows emitted by the overly strong ejection force will produce a strong and sharp sound of breaking through the air, giving people the feeling of impending disaster.
As a result, the Heavy Repeater was jokingly dubbed the "Death Greatbow" and the "Black Scourge" by the first ranged soldiers to equip it.
........................
GWB currently produces fifteen reloaded repeaters per month, which is a bit low to be honest.
Because Char attaches great importance to GWB, he has used various means to continuously strengthen the GWB department, and has also integrated many post-modern construction concepts into the GWB department, which has shocked the old blacksmiths who have been fighting iron all their lives. But in reality, these are very basic process concepts, such as module production and assembly line concepts......
On the other hand, in addition to letting GWB be responsible for all the iron equipment required in the entire royal city, Char also specially instructed some people to try to build the first "flintlock pistol" to see if they could make gunpowder weapons appear in this world in advance.
The results were rather disappointing, although the flintlock pistol had met the technical requirements, it suffered from no experience, and even if it was made, there was no gunpowder to test whether it could really be used. So in desperation, Char ordered the GWB department to make two test short guns, and then he brought them with him as decorations to enjoy it......
Two test muskets, one named "Rose", is a silver Greco-Roman pistol. The other is called "The Oath", which is a golden classical hand, which is one size larger than the rose and has a more ornate beauty.
Although the two experimental muskets look pretty good, it's a pity that they can only be used as decorations~ But Char thought that sooner or later they would come in handy, and it would be good to take them with him as an incentive.
In this way, the "Glory Rose" has become a kind of identity symbol similar to Char's mask. If you saw a man with two powder guns on his chest and a silver mask on his face on the road that day, it must be Drake. D. Char.
