But compared to Zeren, who could work normally during the day and have women sleeping with him at night, Nagamasa, who had never had a friend, was so angry at the stupidity of his “colleagues”.
Nagamasa: “They are so rich… why can’t they run their own territory well? Why do they have to go south to hire those dark elf mercenaries? I don’t know that they are all a bunch of money-hungry people. Their charges are quite exorbitant, and they also pay all kinds of A blood-sucker who can’t bargain?”
Obviously, Nagamasa knew that his “friends” would probably not be able to defeat the pig-headed troops, so he drove them out and be cruel, and directly hired dark elf mercenaries from the south to deal with some troublesome pig-headed troops.
Especially some pig-headed officers riding in cars. If these officers are not eliminated for a day, the pig-headed troops who killed them will definitely come back.
After all, the pig-headed men of the Akitsu Empire have their own characteristics.
obey.
The obedience of lower-level soldiers to upper-level generals.
If there is no general to take command, the soldiers at the lower level will most likely not know what to do next, and thus become mere lambs.
Although according to the gossip that Nagamasa heard back, as long as the pig-headed soldiers at the lower level don’t have rice to eat, they don’t mind pointing their guns at the generals at the upper level, and then…
This is what happened in the rumored Xia Ke Shang.
Of course, this does not mean that the pig-headed man is easy to kill.
The lower-level pig-headed soldiers have basically received at least a year of training, especially in stabbing and shooting. There is certainly no soldier in the Takagi Kingdom who can easily surpass them.
Therefore, Nagamasa knew that if his resistance army wanted to defeat the pig-headed man, he not only needed to work hard on shooting and stabbing, but also needed him to use another thing to make up for it.
Cannon.
The Akitsu Empire’s gunnery skills obviously have weaknesses. They focus on direct fire and the tactics of projectiles…
how to say?
They had never thought of using cannons for projectiles before, and for a long time they relied entirely on flying missiles to complete related tactics.
For things like mortars, the Akitsu Empire was motivated by hatred towards the Iron Fist Empire for abandoning them in the past and allowing civil war to break out in their own country. They naturally disliked them in a certain sense.
Even if it is a must-have weapon for infantry such as a rifle and grenade, the pig-headed man has never been equipped with it.
Instead, there are pig-headed men holding blue longbows. The white arrows released by these archers can not only quickly lock on targets in the air and cause serious damage, but can also form parabolas to march like normal physical artillery missiles. Shoot strike.
How lethal is such an arrow?
According to “feedback” from “peers”, it has a stronger gun range than an 81 mm caliber mortar.
And the most terrifying thing is that the white arrows released by the pig-headed archers will split in the air, creating an air blast killing area similar to shrapnel.
So much so that Nagamasa himself was very doubtful that such a bow was really not the rumored magic weapon?
After all, the pig-headed people themselves promote themselves as an excellent race. Even as a hostile party, Nagamasa himself completely scorned it.
But Nagamasa admits one thing, that is, the pig-headed people can definitely be regarded as a magical race.
Especially since he had seen the rumored magic soldiers.
Those guys don’t use weapons, and even have the ability to lock the target’s position through the screen, thereby completing some impossible assassinations.
For example, staring directly at an unlucky guy and then breaking his neck while he’s still alive.
Therefore, based on the actual combat experience of the good organization and itself, the best way to deal with the pig-headed man is to blow it up into the sky with long-range direct-fire explosives.
This is why Nagamasa focused on training his troops to use grenades, and why he tried to mass-train gunners who could use mortars of various calibers.
At the same time, he also hopes for another thing, that is, he can train qualified artillerymen who can use barrel cannons, that is, cannons with re-entry machines.
How can modern warfare be fought without artillery and the cannons they operate?
Cannon is the god of war!
Such a famous saying is the absolute truth!
The reason why the Takagi Kingdom is weak and has to rely on others for a long time and live a life of a slave state is because there are not enough cannons, not ruthless enough, and not strong enough!
In short, Nagamasa thought about it, and he himself was helpless.
Although the Negan Empire in the south has a lot of mercenaries who secretly go abroad to make dirty money, this country where the streets are full of handsome men and beauties has no shortage of outstanding warriors and assassins.
Nagamasa was even sure that in the hotel where he stayed at that time, even the most basic dishwashing ladies were trained assassins.
So this is why everyone knows that the Negan Empire mercenaries in the south charge a lot of money, but they are willing to pay for services?
do not care.
Anyway, Nagamasa definitely didn’t want to be taken advantage of. He could manufacture a large number of infantry light weapons and equip his men with them, but he would rather train artillery by himself.
And after fighting against the rebels before, he still had several 75mm mountain howitzers in his hands.
There are cannons and some cannonballs.
If he couldn’t make good use of the “gifts” left to him by the counter-rebels, how could he be worthy of those counter-rebels who, like him, had secretly attacked and even murdered pig-headed men many times?
That’s right.
Although the counter-rebel army is King Junwu’s army, they also don’t like the pig-headed people, and they don’t want to see the pig-headed people running rampant in the Takagi Kingdom.
In particular, the pig-headed people have been plundering the Takagi Kingdom’s rice and even salt as military supplies for the Akitsu Empire.
As long as the pig-headed people do not change their rule, or to be precise, the policy of slavery, it means that every black-haired kobold in the Takagi Kingdom will not give in easily.
The term “submission” cannot continue to exist for the Takagi Kingdom.
Surrender once, and surrender for generations.
Weak countries have no right to speak, let alone independent capital.
For this reason, Nagamasa has been wondering whether he can create a larger-caliber cannon by enlarging the 75mm-caliber mountain howitzer?
But now… I’m thinking too much.
The manufacturing method of gun barrel steel is a secret military technology of various countries, and it is impossible to buy it from outside without sufficient funds.
And even if they had the money to buy technology, I guess the other party would rather sell a few more cannons and add a bunch of cannonballs to stuff the buyer’s mouth.
Just like Nagamasa now, he has guns to sell, and he also has a lot of purchase money from his “peers” and “friends”.
It has to be said that these days, if you have technology at hand, you will never worry about funds.
What’s more, he now discovered that not only the armed forces of the Takagi Kingdom, but also the dark elf mercenaries from the Negan Empire, they would also purchase weapons and equipment from the Takagi Kingdom.
After all, they are not stupid. They are 100% unlikely to bring their country’s military and police standard weapons and equipment to the Takagi Kingdom, thus causing diplomatic trouble for the Negan Empire.
As for why they don’t want the pig-headed weapons…
Is it that easy?
Just think about it, the pig-headed man has a “bad habit” of destroying the weapons and equipment in his hands whenever he faces defeat.
Therefore, even the Japanese and Mai people of the Crurod Empire do not have many pig-headed weapons and equipment.
Even according to outside rumors, the Rimai people will take the initiative to sell the weapons and equipment of the pig-headed people, but there are few.
The prices are so low that the black market now has all kinds of sky-high prices, and I don’t know if they will be available in the end.
The reason is also very simple. The Japanese and Mai people in the Krurod Empire must be secretly carrying out imitation work. If they didn’t really have a clue, they wouldn’t have been able to sell all the seized weapons and equipment out of desperation.
It seems that I still can’t think too much, thinking too much is not good for myself.
Think honestly about whether he can build a 120mm caliber mortar, otherwise he may have to import one of the cheap junk from the Negan Empire – a 160mm caliber heavy field mortar.
Apart from anything else, this cannon is a real infantry crusher. The consequences of being hit by one of the cannons are absolutely terrifying.
However, it is so heavy that no troops in the Negan Empire Army continue to use it, and they are all used as export products as profit-making tools…
