That’s right.
What would an empire that didn’t know how to forge iron and only master copper smelting think of steel weapons with superior performance and lower cost?
Of course, I grabbed the sword, and then conducted some research behind closed doors to see if I had the ability to imitate it.
It’s a pity that after the Kahn Empire fought a round of civil war, the Negan Empire’s spies had “accidentally” killed the guys who were unwilling to hand over the long sword. Naturally, the long sword was not taken out by the Negan Empire until a hundred years later. Processing and transformation, as a gift from the Negan Empire to reward some outstanding elites and meritorious subjects in the country.
However, the ring-handled long sword at this time was not the model that had been sold to the vassals with double-minded intentions and various subversive intentions in the Kahn Empire; instead, it had improved by leaps and bounds in performance and appearance, and became the model that was later rewarded. The origin of the surnames of the people of the Negan Empire (the swords given by the Queen of the Negan Empire all have independent sword names, so the recipients will naturally be given surnames by the Queen in the form of sword names, thereby benefiting future generations). It is a family heirloom that is extremely cherished by future generations. precious.
Therefore, the Queen’s gift of swords became prominent on the continent of Neoland for a while. Even the Orchid Republic, which originally disliked monarchy countries, had people make such ring-handled long swords as gifts for someone at that time. Some important guests and even as a national gift.
But as the master of suffering, the Karn Empire lost its sword, many people died, and it couldn’t learn the forging technology of steel weapons at all.
What’s the meaning?
Technology cannot be bought with money. If you don’t have the industrial background, you will be 100% unable to digest what kind of treasures come from the outside world.
Therefore, even the technologically advanced Kahn Empire cannot calculate how much actual losses it has suffered. At best, it can only discover that its domestic copper and silver mines, as well as its gold mines, are in obvious crisis.
Yes, most of these important precious metals, except for copper, which was basically used to make weapons, fell into the pockets of the Negan Empire, which was short of gold and silver at the time and in urgent need of precious metals.
Since then, even if the top officials of the Kahn Empire woke up afterwards, they had no way to do anything to the Negan Empire. The origin of all this is that he cannot forge steel weapons and does not understand the blacksmithing technology at all.
As for the time traveler?
He had been captured alive by a princess of the Negan Empire during the civil war. Even if the Kahn Empire wanted to ask someone to go to him, it was difficult for him to speak because he was so devastated.
What’s more, the Kahn Empire at that time was completely unable to defeat the Negan Empire, which already had armored airships and the battleship Raiding at that time.
The later black-haired kobolds had tasted what it felt like to fire a salvo of nine main guns of a battleship.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers and surrounding buildings evaporated.
In short, what fate will the time-travelers face?
Feel sorry.
Until now, Negan’s empire has never been made public.
But Zelen can confirm one thing, that is, it is impossible for the Negan Empire to let the time travelers go, and all kinds of imaginable or unimaginable torture will definitely not be absent.
And after seeing the long sword of the sheep-headed man, Zelen firmly believed that the sheep-headed people were not completely behind the times.
It’s just that they cannot resonate well with the times because of their religious beliefs, so they may not realize that modern firearms are actually heavier than traditional swords and require higher physical fitness of soldiers.
In particular, the long sword of the goat-headed man only weighs 1.1 kilograms, while the explosive assault rifles equipped by the soldiers of the Crurod Empire weigh more than 3 kilograms when empty.
After adding a bayonet or a grenade launcher, the weight directly exceeds 4 kilograms.
Therefore, in actual combat, it is not impossible for a person to be knocked unconscious or even killed on the spot by the butt of an exploded assault rifle.
Especially among the pig-headed corpses that were counted, it was common to see not only the body but also the head smashed to pieces.
In other words, with the development of the times, technology will definitely change rapidly.
An empire like the Karn Empire, which implements theocratic rule and pursues an everlasting class order, is like a stagnant environment like the United Kingdom of Eri. If the environment does not change, one day it will definitely face the cruel elimination of the world.
To be honest, if the Karn Empire could have one-tenth of the energy of the sheep-headed people and implement the matter of all people mastering magical power, how could this country end up being destroyed by the black-haired kobolds?
Repressive internally and incompetent externally.
This is Zelen’s evaluation of many countries that adhere to the feudal system, and his judgment that they must be cruelly baptized.
If these countries are lucky enough to settle directly next to the Orchid Republic. Atomic weapons warning must be modified tomorrow.
The Orchid Republic does not allow monarchies to appear in its land neighbors, and the Orchid Republic also has enough national power to make many weak and small countries obedient.
Therefore, Zelen is also a little pitiful that there are countries on the continent of Neoland, and the two major powers in the north and south are not easy to talk to.
The Takagi Kingdom is a country with a higher ambition than paper, a country that is always thinking about how to become king and hegemon, and is caught between two great powers…
Zelen just wanted to say wish them happiness.
Regarding Zelen’s statement, Nagamasa lamented alone under the moon.
The Takagi Kingdom is a country where the throne is unfair. The upper-class nobles don’t care about the life and death of the lower-class people. They only think about how to have fun and enjoy a high-ranking life. The lower-class people live a life worse than death. The entire society is like a stagnant water.
If Nagamasa wants to change the current situation of the country, he must eliminate the upper-class nobles.
Therefore, necessary force is an important prerequisite for changing the country. Otherwise, it is impossible for the parasites in these countries to take the initiative to abdicate and make way for the future and destiny of the country.
Of course, Nagamasa himself did not deny that he also had thoughts about the throne of Takagi Kingdom and hoped that he could wear the crown of Takagi Kingdom.
Even if he cannot change the name of the country, he must change the face of the country.
What’s more, with the implementation of his education system, every member of Wanxi’s liberation force realized that the poor and weak Takagi Kingdom, which was facing internal and external troubles, needed a major change.
A change that requires so much blood to be shed that everyone realizes just how bad their own country is.
After all, the Takagi Kingdom has never experienced serious bloody changes before, and they basically knelt directly to powerful countries.
But everyone knows that such kneeling is not sincere. When the Takagi Kingdom voluntarily surrendered to the Negan Empire, there were always strong opinions in the country.
The female-dominated social structure of the Negan Empire is an unbearable existence for the Takagi Kingdom. No matter whether the Takagi Kingdom is prestigious or the people who have worked hard for many years, they cannot accept the culture of women in power being rooted in their own territory.
If women were to take power, whether among the people or in the court, it would bring greater turmoil to the Takagi Kingdom, and even directly subvert or even destroy the Takagi Kingdom and destroy the stable social system that the black-haired kobolds had finally established.
At the same time, in a place like the Negan Empire where women are the dominant force and the country implements the primogeniture system, Nagamasa is an extremely rare “weird” type in the world no matter how you think about it.
Although Nagamasa thought about it for a while, the reason why the Negan Empire did this was that they had more boys and girls, and the female combat effectiveness was obviously ridiculously strong.
But this is not something that the entire Takagi Kingdom deserves to learn from.
In short, after he finally introduced a light tracked combat vehicle through special channels, he is trying every means to imitate more chassis to install different weapon platforms.
Even if it was a sedan truck that was so low-cost that it made him laugh, he used a Yuanjia anti-aircraft machine gun to temporarily serve as a simple armored personnel carrier and a mid-range enemy group suppressing firepower platform. At the same time, he also had an idea. What would happen if steel plates or even ground launchers were installed on the buses in Takagi Kingdom?
Obviously, Nagamasa, who has a high level of literacy and knowledge, still has a brain.
Even if he has limited resources and cannot fully implement many things, the principle of making enough food and clothing by himself is still the same…
