Mountain guns are still conventional heavy weapons, but compared with 75mm rapid-fire guns of the same caliber, they are not all of them. When it comes to rapid-fire guns, the most impressive thing is probably the French "Miss 75" rapid-fire gun. However, the correct name is the French M1897 75mm gun. It is also called the French M1897 75mm cannon, the French 75 rapid gun, the French 75mm rapid-fire gun, the French Schneider M1897 75mm gun and so on. Produced in 1897, it is an epoch-making artillery.

The gun is equipped with a hydraulic retraction mechanism, and the recoil of the gun is absorbed by the retraction machine, which reduces the recoil transmitted to the gun carriage. It combines the excellent performance of other artillery into one, and becomes a kind of superior performance artillery, which greatly promotes the innovation of artillery. Originally, this kind of artillery was invented by the French in order to resist the increasingly powerful Germany, but Miss 75 was born at the wrong time. The Germans stopped playing with them.

In the face of the absolute superiority of the French rapid-fire artillery in terms of technology, the German Army finally forced them to give up continuing to accompany the French in this passive arms race, and the Germans boldly took a new step, that is, the large-caliber and long-range artillery. The 75 rapid-fire gun, no matter how powerful it is, cannot withstand the heavy artillery attacks of 105mm, 120mm, 150mm and even 380mm and above, so there is no legendary record in history. However, compared to any white European-made artillery in 1721, Miss 75 could form a fire suppression.

The imitation of the 94-type 75mm mountain cannon was officially named the 21-type mountain cannon by Xiao Lin. The imitation of Miss 75 has a unique name, the flash snake rapid-fire gun, which represents a poisonous snake that bursts out to attack the enemy with a rate of fire like lightning. New artillery, a full ten production lines opened, of course, not at the same time, Sholin does not have that ability yet, this is only the final number of reservations. In the future, larger caliber heavy artillery will still be generated, and it will be wasted if there is more construction

Sholin did not wait for the two guns to be produced in sufficient quantities, after all, they were new products, and the difficulty was greater than that of the front-loading rifled guns of the mortar and heavy fist series, and it would not be possible to form a sufficient scale in a few months. Sholin began to draw troops back, leaving one battalion of garrisons in each new settlement, and two battalions of militia were trained on the spot before leaving. Doing such a risky thing is still because Shawlin received the news that the British are going to die.

Although weapons are of great use in battle, they are not an absolute decisive force. In particular, only the rifles, which were far ahead, and the front-loading rifled guns were not much ahead of the French, were able to hold out until this time, and to the surprise of Sholin. Speaking of which, there is also Xiao Lin's responsibility, who told him to be a black-hearted arms dealer and sold the arms at a very high price. However, the weapons of the people were really advanced and strong, and the British, who had no numerical advantage, were naturally reluctant to give up.

But now, people are really out of money, this is not Europe, and they are not a family that has always been prosperous and has a long history. Only those aristocrats who couldn't get along in Europe would come to North America, and some had only been here for decades, and even if they scraped the ground, they didn't collect much money. Of course, after spending so much money, it is not without results. Even when reinforcements came from the French, the British forced them out of the colony with a growing number of advanced weapons.

The French also once again explained to the 10,000 regular troops, and had to rein in, anyway, they had grabbed enough things, and they were not a loss. As soon as the French lost the desire to attack, the British simply stopped attacking. As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold, and since ancient times, wars have been fought with money. Seeing the money in his vault like flowing water every day is distressing. The three counts, standing on a high place, can see far away, and no matter how distressed they are, they can hold back their actions.

The nobles below naturally felt that they couldn't fight. Instead, they began to prepare to discuss the division of the spoils. In fact, there is nothing but terra nullius land that appeared because of the massacre of the French. Even if there is no output now, the benefits in the future are indispensable. One by one, each looking at the fertile land, trying all kinds of ways to get it. The French clearly discovered this and began to sow discord among these people and intensify the contradictions.

The three bosses, including Earl Linman, were really frightened by this. Under the instigation of the French, these comrades-in-arms, who had been close before, began to speak ill of each other, and even had a hand-to-hand fight. Not the nobles themselves, of course, but their henchmen. If this continues, at most three months, the original aristocratic alliance will be completely disbanded, and it will be difficult to gather again. Even if they are forcibly pulled together, the face and heart are not in harmony, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

At that time, the French gathered a large army to fight again, and the British North American colonies were completely finished. Earl Linman, these people, now the family roots are all in the British North American colonies. Although they can retreat to the mainland or other colonies as a last resort, those places have their own forces, and they are deeply rooted, how can they be allowed to develop again. If you are lucky, you can meet some people who still have a bottom line, and they can still return home to be a rich man. If you encounter that kind of ruthless person, everyone's life will not be left.

However, there is another option, which is to go directly into the arms of the Yanhuang Trading Company, just like the Charles family. But the choice of last resort at that time was not yet that time, and the three earls did not want to do so. After a delay of almost four months, local reinforcements should also come. However, it is not yet known how many reinforcements there will be, and there is no telling if the French will give them more than four months.

Since this situation can't be stopped, then the three counts of Linman can only continue to strengthen their abilities. After all, they are earls, and they still have family backgrounds, and if they abandon some of the bad assets in their hands, the three earls are enough to arm 40,000 elite private troops, half of which will be elite forces using the company's firearms. Their so-called non-performing assets are towns that have already shown signs of riots. These territories on the borders of the colonies that were taken by the three major earls did not bring them any benefit in the short term.

On the contrary, it takes a lot of money to recover before you can report it. There are also many small nobles and merchants who ran away at the beginning, making trouble outside every day, wanting to take the property that they had abandoned before. Naturally, Lin Man and the others couldn't just return it to them, but they paid a huge price to get these. Even if they collect money, with the current property of these people, giving everything away, it may not make them return to their capital.

Rather than sell these places, Lin Man asked Collins to try them, and asked Xiao Lin if he would like to have them. Xiao Lin said on the spot that if a town adds 5,000 people, Xiao Lin is absolutely willing to buy it. Lin Man and the others directly gathered all the people who disobeyed their rule, gathered 15,000 people, united three towns close to the company's territory, and sold them all to the company. To do this, Shotin had to pay for 8,000 Hall M1819 rifles, as well as 100 heavy-fist guns, rifles with 50 rounds of ammunition and artillery with 10 shells.

However, Xiao Lin secretly used inferior steel. On the surface, there seems to be no difference, but the service life is shortened by 30%, and the cost is reduced by 40%. Relying on these weapons, they can't beat the company's army anyway, but Xiao Lin has a picky attack and is unwilling to pay too much price. After the negotiations were settled, the arsenal was again fully operational, and it was enough to produce a sufficient quantity in a month. Then, three field brigades were responsible for the escort.

The two sides carried out the handover ceremony directly outside the three towns, and all the weapons were sent to the hands of the three earls' private armies. And then these private troops, with these munitions, just left. Three towns, just handed over to the company to dispose of. The fifteen thousand Englishmen inside also knew early that they had been sold. But what to do, they were already plagued by the French, and they were lucky to survive.

Count Linman and the others were already dissatisfied with these people, and if they were made physically strong and had weapons, their men would be miserable. So, for this situation, there is nothing they can do. Even, in order to show Lin Man's kindness to the company, these people were forced to come outside to welcome the company's troops. Xiao Lin did not object, just took this opportunity to let these thorns see the strength of the company and cut off their illusions of rioting.

The three brigade commanders, Apache, James, and Babu, deliberately tidied up the troops outside the town and asked everyone to check the military appearance. Then, the soldiers in the army who had a little musical talent formed a military band and played the military song "Bright Sword" adapted by Xiao Lin.

"If the company is violated, the hot-blooded man should be self-reliant, drink this bowl of hometown wine, the strong man will never return, let the blood stain the most beautiful flowers, sprinkled on my chest, the red flag fluttering military horn sounded, the sword has been out of the sheath thunder and lightning, it has always been a narrow road to meet the brave to win, forward to forward, forward to forward, red flag fluttering military horn sound, the sword has been out of the sheath thunder and lightning, it has always been a narrow road to meet the brave to win, forward to advance, forward to forward, forward, Yan Huang army soul!"

changed a few words and deleted a sentence, under the adaptation of professional musicians, it is still so enthusiastic. When the music sounded, all the warriors' blood was stirring, and their bodies involuntarily became more upright. One by one, singing songs and stepping into the town, they walked into the town.
