The artillerymen were all carefully selected elite soldiers, and they were extremely high.

Although Leo and the others came to him, they did not show any panic because of the sudden appearance of their big boss.

Seven or eight artillerymen were still calmly busy around the artillery.

The three soldiers pushed the wheels on either side of the cannon hard, desperately pushing it back into place.

Another soldier next to him took a huge brush in his hand and brushed it in the still-scorching chamber.

By this time, someone else had already quickly stuffed the medicine bag into the barrel of the cannon.

Someone approached with a black cannonball in both hands, wrapped it in a deerskin, and stuffed it into the chamber.

The soldier with the brush had stepped forward again, and Mannazis keenly noticed that he had changed a stick this time Chapter 995 Chairman of the Four Seas Asks for a Monthly Pass).

The man struck the muzzle of the cannon with his stick a few times before retreating.

Immediately, at the back of the barrel, another soldier took a thin metal and pierced it vigorously in the small hole at the end of the cannon, and then saw that there was a thin rope on the small hole at the end of the cannon.

At this time, the officer next to the artillery was holding a single-pass glasses, his eyes were on the glasses, and he looked into the distance with difficulty. Commands are being shouted loudly.

"The goal, right ahead. ”

"Distance, 1600 yards ......"

"Ready"

After receiving the order, the artillerymen were busy again, adjusting the angle of the artillery.

Immediately, the gun commander, who was directly behind the artillery, raised his hand and shouted: "Ready~!" All the soldiers covered their ears with their hands and quickly retreated. Only one soldier remained, holding a burning arquebus.

He glanced at the officer and was about to step forward.

At that moment, Leo suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them. Then he looked at Crown Prince Manazis and said, "Dear, why don't you try it?" Crown Prince Manazis also knew that this was Ruman's secret weapon, although he watched it with wide eyes on the side, but he never thought that Leo would be so generous to ask himself to operate the cannon himself.

He couldn't help Chapter 995 Sihai Chairman ask for a monthly ticket) pointed at himself in disbelief, stammered in surprise, and said, "I......? Is it possible? Really?"

For a moment, his face was red with excitement.

Leo smiled and said, "Of course." Crown Prince Manachis rubbed his palms happily and said excitedly: "Good, good~!"

Leo even though the artilleryman in charge of the ignition stepped forward with some reluctance, handed the linen rope in his hand to the crown prince of Manachis, and then saluted and withdrew.

Mnachis nervously took the arquebus, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment, feeling sweat in his palms.

It even has the feeling of being in a cave house for the first time that year.

Leo lit the fuse rope inserted in the cannon and said, "Ma Dong, just light this place." ”

Crown Prince Manazis nervously clutched the torch, moved to the cannon step by step, and cautiously stretched out his hand.

Leo stepped aside, and then comforted him repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's safe." Explosions of our artillery are now rare. ”

"What is a bomb-bomb?" Crown Prince Manazis couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in a loud voice, that intuition told him that this is not a good word, it is better to ask clearly before igniting the fire.

Leo stood in the distance, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "It's just that this cannonball didn't go out, and the barrel exploded with a bang." ”

He made an explosive gesture as he spoke.

"Huh?" asked Crown Prince McNadis nervously, "Is this dangerous?"

Leo stretched out his hands and said, "You didn't see that when the cannon was fired, everyone else was standing far away except for the one who lit the fire." ”

Crown Prince Manazis turned his head to look, and sure enough, the rest of the artillery crew was squatting more than ten feet away from the cannon.

Especially the little grandfather, at some point, this little rascal has jumped into a big pit next to him. Just show a head on the ground and talk to yourself.

Crown Prince Manazis's hands trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "... This ......"

Leo continued, "You can rest assured. Basically, there were very few people killed, in the early days, when we were making artillery, we had no experience, we didn't have a good grasp of the fire, and we blew it up every now and then, and three or five people were injured each time, but then it got better. ”

Crown Prince Manazis just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Except for the occasional bad luck when the ignition is lit, everyone else just stays away. Leo said.

Crown Prince Manadis took another breath and cursed in his heart: It's good not to speak so loudly, it's good to gasp, it will scare people to death.

Leo sighed and said, "At that time, there was no way, just the people in the artillery crew took turns to ignite the fire, and whoever stood up was unlucky." ”

Crown Prince Manazis looked at the arquebus in his hand, and then at the cannon that was quietly crouching, and showed an expression that wanted to cry, he would look at the big black iron cylinder, as if it might explode at any moment.

"But it's okay now," Leo said with a smile: "After many improvements, our artillery technology has matured, and now it has undergone strict factory inspection, which can basically guarantee that there will be no explosions." ”

Crown Prince Manazis couldn't cry or laugh, and said secretly: "You said this earlier~!"

Leo made another please, and said, "Ann, Ann, hurry up." ”

Manazis couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at Leo's gopher-like head, which was sticking out of the ground. No matter how you look at it, the words of this little rascal are not very convincing.

He wanted to withdraw, but with so many people watching, if he really did that, he would not only lose his own people, but even the face of the Parthian Empire.

The crown prince of Manazis shook his heart, plucked up his courage, moved behind the cannon in small steps, and stretched out the arquebus in his hand tremblingly, his hands trembling like chaff, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks.

Leo suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Stop~!"

Crown Prince Manazis shook his body and almost fell to the ground, turned his head nervously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Leo pointed to the feet of Crown Prince McNadsis and said: "Ma Dong, when igniting, you should stand on the side of the artillery, don't stand behind, when the cannon is fired, because the recoil is too large to retreat, it will be a fracture if it is hit." ”

Crown Prince Manazis's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned to the side of the artillery, and asked cautiously, "Will this be fine, right?" Leo nodded and said, "No, just ignite." ”

Crown Prince Manachis swallowed. Spit, reaching out a little bit closer to the fuse, for the first time I felt as if the fuse was lit, and hurriedly retracted my hand, but found that it was a mistake.

Qufer was watching from the side, and he was anxious, and he couldn't wait to go up and hold down this master's hand and point it.

Crown Prince Manazis blushed slightly and stretched out his hand again, until wisps of green smoke came out of the fuse, and then he finally lit the fuse.

The fuse flashed out and burned rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the crown prince of Manachis nervously asked Leo, "Now...... What should I do now?" Leo beckoned, "Come back soon." ”

Crown Prince Manazis was not covered by his skills, and immediately stepped forward to Leo, and then turned over and fell into the pit.

At this time, I heard a loud "boom" behind me.

The artillery has been fired~!

A large amount of smoke immediately rose from the muzzle of the cannon, and a choking smell surrounded everyone.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred in the distance, raising a high cloud of smoke and dust.

The crown prince of Manachis took a look and found the wisps of smoke and dust that went straight into the sky, and he couldn't help but slap his palms happily, but he forgot the fire rope in his hand, and screamed out when he was burned.

Leo looked at it and laughed, "How is it?

Crown Prince Manazis realized his gaffe and nodded a little embarrassedly.

Probably every man likes to use explosives as toys, especially the little pot friends in China.

When Lorraine was a child, she dared to pinch the cannon with her hands, and became an idol and powerful figure admired by the little boys and girls on the street.

Leo pointed to the next cannon and said, "Then continue?" Crown Prince McNadis showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Is it okay?"

Leo waved his hand and said, "Of course we're not friends." Today is to let Ma Dong have fun. ”

"Okay~!" Crown Prince Manachis was also a little excited, and immediately agreed, and couldn't wait to jump over.

Refuffel has been carefully observing.

Looking at how the artillery positions of the Rumans were arranged, for a veteran like him, a glance at the positions would reveal the usefulness of artillery on the battle line.

Then take a closer look at the structure and operation of the artillery, trying to figure out how exactly this thing was made.

The guns were most interested in cartridges and shells.

He has already seen that the so-called cannon is a thick metal cylinder, and they Parthia have a very good set of metallurgical ironmaking, and it is not difficult to imitate one~!

But Refel couldn't figure out what the propellant and shell were.

The propellant was inside the packet, and I couldn't see it clearly. I just knew that it should be a black powder, and after the launch, there would be a smell of sulfur.

Either it's a magic powder, or that damn guy in Lorraine is really a neighbor of the demons of hell, as the legend says.

And the cannonball is also extremely mysterious, it looks like it's just an iron ball, but after it hits, it will explode.

This is quite strange and unpredictable~!

Ref Fer looked at Crown Prince McNadice several times, hoping that this lord would pay attention, but Crown Prince McNazis was playing well and didn't notice it at all.

Although he had the intention to secretly pick off a piece and hide it and take it back to study, he also felt that an uneasy gaze behind him had been watching him.

It was the officer of the Security Army who had been standing silently behind them.

Refeuer could see that the security guards were very wary of them, and never took their eyes off them.

Therefore, Qufer did not dare to move, but was secretly anxious.

The crown prince of Manazis fired several more shots, and when he was too satisfied, he clapped his hands in satisfaction and returned to Refel.

Seeing that the boy's face was blackened by the smoke, he grinned happily, and his back molars were about to show out. couldn't help grinning, and smiled bitterly in his heart: This master still seems to be a little immature. After firing a few shots, I was already happy to be like this.

But then, I felt relieved. The power of that cannon was incomparably great. Speaking from the heart, if you let yourself go and fire and have a good time. I guess I have to be happy for a long time.

And Leo is also crazy personally, as long as someone plays with him, he will be happy, seeing the look of the crown prince of McNazis, he immediately said: "Go Ma Dong, let's go to the camp to wash." ”

With that, he pulled them to the barracks in the rear.

On the way, he looked left and right, and when no one was paying attention, he leaned into the ear of the crown prince of Manachis and whispered, "Prince, inquire about what they are using." ... ，

Crown Prince Manazis nodded and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

Everyone wiped their faces in the camp tent, the soldiers served ice water, and the crown prince of Manachis said: "Dare to ask Chairman Lei, how did this artillery do it?" Leo said: "This, simple." We were also inspired by the Burst Crystal. "The principle of artillery cannot be hidden at all, because it is so simple that you can guess the firing principle of artillery at a casual glance.

The Flying Eagle Group's propellants and shells are kept in strict secrecy.

"Burst Crystal," Crown Prince Manazis grinned.

Burst crystals are basically the same price as gold, and it doesn't mean that you can buy them with money, the output is extremely limited, and the burst crystals hoarded by each country are used as strategic material reserves, and they don't move lightly, because they are easy to go off.

If you use Burst Crystals as propellants, it is better to throw them directly at the enemy's head.

"But I don't think this is like a burst crystal?" Leo waved his hand and said, "Of course, but this is more expensive than a burst crystal." ”

Then, with the words of the Archduke, he added oil and vinegar, and fooled the Crown Prince of Manazis and the Retreat of these things, and Leo came as soon as he opened his mouth.

For example, the milk of a three-headed deer, the gutter oil with a concentration of 70%, and a thing called a capsule.

As for the cannonball, it was a magic weapon made by an alchemist.

Crown Prince Manazis had never even heard of it, and the two people who bluffed were stunned.

Leo counted with his fingers and said, "Just this one, more than two hundred gold coins will be gone." Crown Prince Manazis thought that he had fired more than a dozen cannons just now, and he exclaimed in his heart that he had two or three thousand gold coins: What kind of war is this, is this clearly burning money~!

And then he was secretly happy in his heart that he had finally earned a little from this little rascal.

Qufer knew in his heart that what Leo said was definitely an imaginary number, and it was used to scare people.

When engaging in government procurement, they raise the price by 50 to 100 percent, and then report it so that they can earn a little kickback.

Qufer gave a discount according to Leo's offer, and still sighed in his heart: they still can't afford to use this thing.

With this money, the Parthians preferred to recruit more soldiers than huā on these advanced weapons.

Leo sighed and said, "Alas, it's still a small head. It's expensive and you can use it less. Artillery training is the bulk of the money.

It takes an average of 50 rounds of artillery to train a qualified artilleryman, and a crew of eight people is enough for us to drink a pot. ”

Crown Prince McNadis originally wanted to ask if he could bring in a few artillery pieces from the Flying Eagle Group, but as soon as he heard the price, he immediately gave up on this idea.

At this price, they Parthians could not afford it, and they were already stretched thin just to cover the cost of the expeditionary force of 35,000.

Such an expensive toy, they Parthians can't afford to play with it, and it is estimated that the Ruman people can play with it enough.

Besides, it is unlikely that Archduke Julius would have sold artillery to the Parthians, and even Empress Isabella did not have such a weapon in his hands.

At this time, it was not early, and the purpose of Crown Prince Manazis and Evafer had been achieved, and Crown Prince Manazis stood up and took his leave.

Leo was overjoyed to get a big contract today, and he was in a hurry to go back and show off to Lorraine and Catherine.

When they went out of the gate, the security guards checked the name tags around their necks one by one, collected one name tag, and then let one person out.

What he saw and heard on this day made Crown Prince McNazis feel that he has benefited a lot, and he has seen many things that he had not imagined before.

At this point, Leo is not purely a hateful little rascal, but a little rascal who has a lot of friends and is very good all over the world.

People even let him play with the cannon casually, and he had a good time.

Crown Prince McNazis pointed to the security forces that were being inspected, and said, "Chairman Lei is indeed strict in governing the army. ”

Leo shook his head and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. Tight security measures around the artillery garrison are indeed necessary.

Haddou's spies alone, we have captured several of them during this time, all of them to sabotage our artillery. This artillery is really an expensive type of troops, and losing any one of them will hurt for a long time. ”

Grand Duke Julian was well aware of the importance of artillery, and it can be said that the peacekeeping troops could use the telegraph in one hand and the artillery in the other, and the Grand Duke Julian could rub Haddou as much as he wanted, and he could not do anything about it.

Grand Duke Julian knew that with Haddou's ingenuity, he must have realized that after all, artillery had been in people's eyes for a long time.

Before the peacekeepers landed in the port of Hafus, the secret battle between the peacekeepers and Haddou began.

When they returned to Hafs Harbor, it was already summer dusk, and Leo and Crown Prince McNadice broke up in the city, and they couldn't wait to run back to the headquarters of the peacekeeping force.

Leo clutched the contract of intent with the Parthians in his hand and hurried to Lorraine's office.

When he was about to reach the door, he stopped with a sudden brake, and Xiaobai almost didn't stop and hit the wall.

Xiaobai looked at his boss suspiciously, only to see Leo patting his clothes, spitting in his palm, wiping his hair, and then straightening his chest and belly, and kicked Lorraine's office with a majestic kick. ！！！
