- #182 - Chapter 183 Are you really going to turn back?
Compared to the deal prepared by Leeson and others, Zelen heard the army’s reluctance to part with the 20 mm caliber cannon and the expectation that the beam weapons would be smaller and less likely to dissipate heat.
Zelen was also very helpless about this.
The soldiers really wished that the weapons and equipment in their hands did not have any weight.
However, he was at the palace and also received collective submissions from Defense Ministry officials and logistics officers.
The above content is very simple. Traditional machine guns use traditional internal energy loading and firing mechanisms, so there is no additional energy consumption. They only require the simplest electric shock or pressure to fire. Therefore, the officer in charge of logistics did not shy away from mentioning the restoration of 20 mm caliber cannons in his opinion letter. He also hoped that the troops would not blindly pursue overly advanced weapons and equipment, so as not to increase the burden of logistics maintenance.
Byrne: “That’s just the way it is.”
Seeing the extremely embarrassed expression of the Minister of Defense in front of him, Zelen himself felt very bitter.
The soldiers below had another “fight” with the officials above.
Zelen: “Alas! What should I say? The pig-headed people have already advanced to wave energy weapon systems. We…ah…right! We have not been able to fully analyze their technology until now. , but this does not mean that we have to give up the pursuit of developing science and technology. It is rare that we have a case in front of us. We should not take this case as a learning object… So, Minister Howlett, what do you think? “
Bourne: “Actually, in my own opinion, I agree with the officials. Of course, there is a very important reason for this, money. We are short of money.”
Zelen: “Indeed. So we only have a special mecha unit to serve as a sharp edge for raids and a scientific research experimental field for the army.”
Bourne: “The cost of beam weapons is high, and there are certain requirements for maintenance. At the same time, the complex structure and the problem of being easily damaged during combat have always been difficulties faced by the logistics minister for a long time. But looking at the pig-headed man all I am also very confused by the battle reports about the use of wave energy weapons by the military and the firing of blue and white light bombs.”
Zelen: “Because the pig-headed weapons and equipment are excellent.”
Bourne: “Yes. At least His Majesty and many senior generals have this understanding. We even have soldiers who are self-taught and fully master the techniques of how to use all the pig-headed weapons and equipment.”
Zelen: “It seems that our country’s education is doing really well.”
Bourne: “So Your Majesty, I…my suggestion is that if there are not too many war vehicles that require energy to ensure energy shields, try not to equip beam weapons and continue to use traditional cannons as one of the main equipment. Of course, This does not mean abolishing beam weapons, but using good steel on the blade.”
Zelen: “Only elite troops are allowed to equip beam weapons.”
Byrne: “Not only that, my idea is whether the beam gate cannon can be enlarged to attack targets 3,000 meters away.”
Zelen: “Just like the 37mm cannon of the Holy Church?”
Byrne: “Yes.”
Zelen: “Yeah. I won’t interfere with this. You can talk to the arsenal.”
Bourne: “Your Majesty, your Lymington Arms Company…”
Zelen: “I still have to provide technical maintenance and necessary guarantees for the regeneration room. And among the arsenals currently responsible for the research and development of the Beam Gate, the main ones are Savant Weapon Company and Ruger Company, especially Savanq Weapon Company , their financial situation is average, and without enough deposit, you cannot let them easily agree to your request. “
Bourne: “I know about this, but Savant Arms Company… Your Majesty, don’t they have a very close relationship with Lymington Arms Company?”
Zelen: “That was before, not now. They were good partners in the past, but now they have not changed the confrontation between them because of their previous cooperation.”
Speaking of this, Zelen was helpless.
The families behind the two companies have a common father, so in a sense they are obviously related. But that was hundreds of years ago, when their companies were all under the shadow of Ruger and had to form an alliance of interests. And ironically, the alliance at that time was concluded by the two families sending their daughters to marry a husband together. After the husband left, such an alliance naturally drifted apart until the current breakup.
no way.
A matter of interest.
This is a problem that cannot be easily solved.
Especially when both of their families are engaged in the arms dealer industry as their legal way of making money.
Even if it is not a country, the interest issues between companies are no more simple than national interests. After all, no one in the world is really idiotic enough to think that all the problems in the world can be solved through eloquence.
At least the pig-headed people in the north not only have their own independent language system, but also their own independent social culture. These guys who starve the Japanese and Mai people to death and send prisoners of war into biochemical reactors to generate electricity, do they think they can be persuaded with words?
It’s pretty good if they didn’t chop him alive with a thermal knife or tie him to a cannon and shoot him out.
Bourne: “Well…”
Zelen: “You are the Minister of Defense, they will not deny you face.”
Bourne: “Okay. Then the next thing…is basically gone.”
Zelen: “If there is no other way, talk to other officials. Although I know that there must be a lot of quarrels between you, your opponents often know your situation best.”
Bourne: “Yes.”
After sending away Bourne, the Minister of Defense, Zelen sat on his bench with a tired look on his face, while Natalie and Nathalie, who were specially waiting for him, came to him from left to right. in front of my eyes.
Zelen: “Sit down. This matter is really difficult to handle.”
Natalie, Nathalie: “Yes.”
Zelen: “Do you know? The ideas of us at the top are fighting with the bottom again.”
Natalie: “This…”
Nathalie: “There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are not mind-controlled subjects. It will definitely be difficult to unify everyone’s opinions.”
Zelen: “So sometimes I envy the two of you. We are twin sisters. We are connected in spirit. From time to time we say the same words together.”
Natalie: “We…we can’t say for sure. Moreover, from my own point of view, everyone is still not very obviously mentally prepared, and the education aspect has not fully caught up.”
Zelen: “Education?”
Nathalie: “The fact that the pig-headed people can develop wave energy weapons and use them as standard weapons uniformly used by the entire army shows that they have done a good job in education.”
Zelen: “Compulsory quality education for all, right?”
Natalie: “After all, like the two of us, our level of education…”
Zelen: “General. Regarding this, I have to apologize for the previous majesties. Basic education, especially female education, has not been done well, and there is a style of dealing with things. That’s why I asked Senago to take charge of education. Although Foolish men and women are conducive to the rule of the aristocratic elite, but the pig-headed people have helped us practice and proved that this will only harm the country and even the development of racial civilization. Moreover, foolish men and women cannot really control it. The pig-headed man was defeated. After all, the cornerstone of the country has never been the aristocratic elite, but every ordinary citizen.”
Natalie: “This is none of your business.”
Zelen: “Yes. So I was thinking about how to promote people’s thinking to keep up with the development of the country.”
Nathalie: “Isn’t this too difficult? Not everyone in the country can keep up with the Beam Gate alone and master how to use it.”
Zelen: “Uh… do we really need to go back and equip ourselves with 20mm cannons on a large scale?”
Natalie: “Well…”
Obviously, Zelen’s idea is not as recognized by everyone as he guessed. Sometimes ideas that are too radical also require time, and at the same time, education is needed as a certain guarantee.
After all, illiteracy cannot win a modern war, and a stupid army is even less likely to bring the final victory to the Crurod Empire…
