Cheers, cheers. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info other than that, there are still cheers. The change in the mode of war gave the army of the Russian Gothic Empire very much confidence.

Before that, the war was very hurtful. If you hit a bullet, you have to die. However, this is not the case now, now, as long as there are trenches and machine guns, life can be harvested very happily.

In fact, this is the reason why Lian didn't use all his strength. In fact, if he had enough time, he wanted to use something as terrible as barbed wire.

Barbed wire, trenches, and then plus machine guns. This was the best way to fight in William's mind. It's like there's something missing.

"But that's okay. One less thing you use, one more hole card.

Although it is said that the overall situation has been decided after this war, even the Bretons will not be able to make any waves. But most of them will not give up like this, and willingly watch the empire occupy the entire Old World.

That is, there is still a war waiting for them.

No, it should be said, that two wars are going to be fought at the same time.

The Empire is going to fight two wars at the same time.

"Ahh In a sense, it can be regarded as death. Thankfully, this is the last war. In other words, as long as this war is over, the empire can recover, but if this war is really a war of attrition, it will not be fun......"

William thought so in his heart.

Before the enemy's second force was sent, he was already thinking about it......

The post-war reconstruction, and the post-war economic recovery.

In ancient times, there was the so-called chaos and one rule, when the population was large, the resources were not enough, so they had to start the civil war mode, which consumed enough population, and when there were more resources per capita when there were peace, then life would be good.

In fact, there are other times when there is a pattern like this. The speed of post-war reconstruction and the rapid economic recovery in modern times are not without such reasons.

In addition to that, William was thinking about what to do with the Visigoths.

"Population. The population of the empire was not small, but it was not small. The most recent census proves that the empire has a population of over fifty million. According to the pleasant industrial development of the current empire, it is expected that ammonia synthesis technology will soon be pointed out. And then you can happily make fertilizer. At that time, the population will usher in another round of growth......

In this case, the territory of the empire is naturally enough. From the Bering Sea to the Atlantic, vast swaths of territory are imperial. In the future, the empire will also be able to promote the colonization of the green continent to the south. However.

No one dislikes too much of it. And none of the guys who want to compete with themselves for land will dislike too little.

Especially a guy like Visigoth. Before this, William was still a little obsessed with the Visigoths. But after actually setting foot on Visigothic soil, all these ideas disappeared without a trace.

These guys are not at all the same thing as the Goths of the Russian Gothic Empire. These guys do not consider themselves and the Ostrogoths to be of the same race at all. Even if there are a few guys who think this way, it is the non-mainstream of the non-mainstream. Not much better than the white supremacy of William's previous life.

"In other words, instead of raising a bunch of unstable elements or something, it is better to kill them all and make way for the goths who are loyal to them.

Even if you can't kill all of them, you have to drastically reduce their number of males. And then snapped all their women. In this way, the Visigoths were once again able to happily integrate into the Gothic family.

Well, yes, that's it.

That is to say, this war is not only to be won, but also to happily kill more Visigoths.

If William is facing a powerful country, then forget it. But William was dealing with a people whose population had dwindled to a few million, who seemed to be weak, and whose numbers of young people were dying in increasing numbers. In this case, it is normal to think about such things.

War or something, it's so cruel, it's so barbaric, it's so pleasant, hahahaha......

However.

It was when William felt so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the scene was too serious now. And in this case, it is easy to be said to be cold-blooded and ruthless, and there are words to be said to be perverted or something, so William may have laughed unscrupulously at this moment.

It's pleasant, it's so pleasant, there's nothing more pleasant in this world...... Wait, what's that!?

Under William's gaze, a strange voice came from the army opposite. And then there's ......

"Armor...... Cart?

No, no, not armored vehicles, but should be...... Tank?!"

Yes, on the opposite position, a group of tanks appeared.

It was completely different from those beautiful and exquisite industrial manufactured products in William's impression. These tanks look very crude, if not terrible. Everywhere you can see the rivet structure that looks like a pockmarked face, but other than that, the armor has not been passivated or painted. It's just that shining, shining, white. There were no turrets, but William took that for granted. In addition, the noise of this kind of thing is also very loud, and even the exhaust port is placed on the body of the car, which makes people unable to complain.

What surprised William even more was that. This armament, apparently, is not powered by an internal combustion engine. It's coal-burning.

That is, this is the legendary steam tank.

"How is that possible?!, are you kidding?!, are these guys idiots?!" William almost couldn't help but want to say.

However, this is not the case with the soldiers on the front lines. In fact, they were struck by these smoky ...... All right

They weren't hillbillies without insight. In fact, there are quite a few people who have participated in the previous battle VS Ironclad Train. And almost all the soldiers have touched the train. After all, when marching, you have to ride.

Therefore, when they saw this kind of thing, they almost subconsciously associated them with the ironclad trains they had seen before.

And then there'...... You can do what you want.

Although it is useless to say that bullets hit it, the empire is not without artillery. In fact, there were a large number of three-pounder guns at the front, and this light artillery, together with shotguns, was originally the best weapon against large numbers of infantry. It's just that because of the turn of the machine gun, the role is slightly reduced.

Originally, there were still many soldiers who couldn't help but think about it in their hearts. If you can, remove all of these light guns and replace them with machine guns, which will make it more enjoyable to slaughter the enemy.

It was as if the Lord of Radiance was punishing them for their arrogance. All of a sudden, retribution came.

Gathering a large number of three-pounder guns, the officers shouted while holding command knives: "Don't be afraid, they are not real ironclad trains, look at this thing, small and not fast." How many ironclads can such a thing equip with?!shoot, shoot!kill them!!"

While receiving a roaring response from the soldiers below, the well-trained Russian Gothic artillery began to reload the artillery. Then aim and shoot. It's all so powerful and fast that any soldier will be amazed and terrified when he sees it. It's like a Visigoths hiding behind these iron lumps, ugly tanks.

However.

William's mood was very delicate.

It is very undesirable that a new weapon, and an epoch-making new weapon, was not born in its own hands, but appeared in the hands of the enemy.

If the enemy still inflicts too much damage on his army with such a weapon, then ......

However, it is a bit of a ...... to say that now

"Whether it's really useful or not depends on this time. William looked at the tank troops opposite, and thought to himself.

Shoot, shoot - followed by shot.

In such a short line of several kilometers, close to two hundred artillery pieces and more than twenty heavy machine guns were gathered. Such dense firepower was enough even on the battlefield of World War I in William's previous life.

Because guarding this area was the proud Janissaries of the Russian Gothic Empire. It was Kaiser Wilhelm's most elite, most trusted, and most loyal army. In addition to the new rapid-fire rifles and machine guns, the more important thing is that the propellant of their bullets and shells has changed. It was replaced by a new, expensive explosive - a safe explosive made by mixing nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth. This is also an epoch-making weapon.

"In other words—can't you?!"

The enemy on the other side once again surprised William.

Their combat power was so strong that William was surprised even by it.

Artillery could not kill these tanks - at least not by shooting them directly at their frontal armor.

Seeing this scene, the former army of the Russian Gothic Empire was a little flustered, but there was not much fear.

After a little confusion, almost in the next second they made the right choice - since the guns were not working, they would have used heavier guns - after greeting the artillery positions, immediately the guns began to adjust their angles - but - the question was, did this really work?

"Impossible...... Even on the battlefield of World War II, the covering fire of artillery could not destroy all the tanks......" Thinking of this, William clenched his fists tightly.

"The battle ......"

Originally, he thought that there was no suspense in this battle and that it would definitely end in his victory. But I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen......

It can't be said that you will lose. But with the advent of more than thirty steam tanks, variables, appeared.
