- #363 - Chapter 364: Things you should learn...
Nagamasa: “Do you really think that I am the brave man summoned by the Ascetic Church in the Kahn Empire? What sword is better than a spear? These are idiots with no brains, waiting to be blown into pieces on the battlefield. Moreover, Send the guy who made such a suggestion to the front line and let him be the first to rush out and fight the pig-headed man.”
While Zeren could enjoy the taste of Gentle Village every night, Nagamasa heard three days later that a certain warrior formed a swordsman battalion to raid the reactionary servant army, that is, the servants who still obeyed King Jungo and worked hard for the pig-headed man. The suggestion of a military camp seemed somehow amusing.
Isn’t this the age of cold weapons? We still have long swords with double edges?
Please, he can mass-produce the Xicheng rotary rifle here, and it is also a model with a folding spur!
If a fight were to begin, the idiots armed with long swords would have turned into a hornet’s nest!
What’s more, even if there was a group of acolytes in the Kahn Empire back then, they could activate shields to block missiles, but weren’t they still killed in various ways in front of bombs of various shapes?
Moreover, Nagamasa now also has recoilless guns. If a high-explosive cannon is fired, no matter how many infantry there are, one person will be killed.
In addition, if it weren’t for everyone’s strong opposition, he would really like to introduce a 160 mm caliber heavy mortar to increase the memory of the pig-headed people.
It is said that the Negan Empire once set a record when a 160 mm caliber mortar blast blew away 400 enemy infantry.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
How much does a 160 mm caliber mortar round weigh?
More than 40kg.
Therefore, self-propelled mortars capable of semi-automatic mechanical loading have been repeatedly recommended by good organizations with mortars of the same caliber.
However, weight, weight is always a hurdle. The black-haired kobolds are not as strong as the Rimai people of the Crurod Empire. The Rimai people can engage in automatic reloading of human flesh. Nagamasa here…
Alas, talking too much brings tears to my eyes.
It’s all their own fault, and even the consequences of the Takagi Kingdom’s long-term suppression of popular thought and strict control over the movement of people and materials.
The biggest manifestation of the country’s poverty and weakness is that the vast majority of the people cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing. There are people dying of hunger on the road, and the fact that people are unable to eat it when they look at the white rice, and are punished for eating it has caused a large number of people to suffer from poor physical health.
Even the trend of vegetarianism at home and abroad has spread to the Takagi Kingdom, becoming a perfect excuse for those bastards in the Takagi royal family who never do normal things to further “blackmail” the people.
Therefore, Nagamasa himself ordered that anyone who dared to promote vegetarianism would be immediately sent to the front lines as death squads or to work as coolies in the mines.
Is that okay if I don’t eat meat and just eat vegetarian food?
Surely this isn’t torture?
They black-haired kobolds are not the “bastards” of the South. Moreover, only those “bastards” who don’t know who their father is don’t eat meat!
Obviously, compared to the “exchange” of weapons and equipment, the “exchange” of culture is the biggest obstacle.
What’s more, if the black-haired kobolds want to change now, the price they pay is often not low. Everyone is too small and too weak.
So much so that Nagamasa was very suspicious that in order to control the people and ensure that their rule was stable enough, the kings of the Takagi Kingdom deliberately starved the people, did not give them enough food, or even let them sleep too soundly.
After all, tired people will not think randomly, they will only think about whether they will have food to eat today.
Of course, more and more people in the Takagi Kingdom now have no food to eat.
What will people without food do?
Looking for something to eat.
As for how to find it…
Anyway, Nagamasa has done his best to recruit the hungry people who can be accommodated into his own team to do various jobs, so as to prevent them from becoming bandits once they can’t restrain themselves.
That’s right.
bandit.
As the civil war in the Takagi Kingdom spreads more and more, the number of hungry people and refugees fleeing the war is increasing. Scattered bandit groups have emerged among these people, and have become the de facto power of the Mountain King.
Therefore, in addition to wiping out these bandit groups that caused trouble, Nagamasa focused more on how to ensure that no new bandit groups would emerge. After all, the Manxi Liberation Force itself exists to change the Takagi Kingdom.
At the very least, he hoped that he could be one-tenth as good as a certain Emperor named Zelen.
Obviously, Nagamasa knew about Zelen. Likewise, he admired how Zelen, as a puppet emperor, gradually became a sage monarch with great influence.
Although Nagamasa seems to have heard that Zeren has a lot of female companions, this is not a serious problem.
Isn’t that just polygamy?
Even in some countries on the continent of Neoland that have monogamous laws expressly stipulated in the law, don’t they often have illegitimate children?
Moreover, the Krorod Empire has such a tradition, and even the current Emperor Zelen has made public the marriage reform. In the future, the Krorod Empire can only have one husband and four wives at most.
If nothing else, the Crurod Empire is probably the most promising country in the world.
Of course, compared to the Clurod Empire, which officially implements monogamy and four wives in law, the “bastard” country in the south goes so far that ten women share one husband, squeezing this husband dry.
Although he knew it, it was closely related to the limited number of citizens of the Negan Empire.
As one of the two major powers in the Neoland continent and a monarchy located at the southernmost tip of the continent, the number of citizens of the Nigen Empire is actually less than that of a province in the Takagi Kingdom.
However, the Negan Empire has a high level of technology and attaches great importance to national defense. It is extremely difficult for outside spies to penetrate into the Negan Empire.
In particular, the Negan Empire is eager to learn, and likes to capture spies to serve as medical research experiment subjects or military weapons test subjects, following the example of the Clorod Empire.
So far, the only spies captured by the Negan Empire are from the United Kingdom of Eri, and they are also members of the Eldar clan who can guarantee their lives and health with the amnesty of Her Majesty the Queen.
But such an amnesty would be better than committing suicide directly.
Because Nagamasa now found out that the amnesty recipients who are still alive must perform various voluntary labor unconditionally.
One of them is that at least ten male offspring must be delivered, not counting females.
What is extremely frightening is that this female amnesty recipient has special instruments installed on her neck and head. Any refusal or thought on her part will trigger the instrument’s sanction response.
In other words, she must perform the job given to her by the Negan Empire and can only live in a fixed place. Even if she dies, she cannot enjoy any burial such as cremation or sea burial. She must become a corpse specimen for medical use until it can no longer be used.
Although Nagamasa is not a woman, when Nagamasa heard about this for the first time, she felt that Her Majesty the Queen of the Negan Empire was very vicious.
The amnesty only allows the spy to live. In other matters, he must unconditionally abide by the Queen’s command. As long as he doesn’t die, he can be dropped into a frying pan and fried, or put into some kind of torture device for testing.
Even unconditionally participate in some non-lethal experiments in the arsenal.
For example, take a shot in the body to test the performance of the sub-column.
Of course, if the pardoned person finally couldn’t bear it anymore and tried to end the pain by committing suicide.
Feel sorry.
The equipment on the pardoned person will instantly activate the incapacitating function, abolishing or even replacing the brain’s ability to control the body.
At the same time, and more importantly, as long as the pardoned person asks for the Queen’s pardon, he will lose the ability to use all spells and will no longer have any spell power for life.
Even the offspring it gave birth to had no magical power at all.
Therefore, this special category of citizens of the Negan Empire are often uniformly arranged to unconditionally participate in the work given to them by Her Majesty the Queen until the day they leave.
However, although Nagamasa, like other black-haired kobolds, habitually refers to the people of the Negan Empire as “bastards”, certain laws and regulations of the Negan Empire are very suitable for him to borrow.
Even if this happens, his subordinates will definitely talk about it and even have various objections. But sometimes, we cannot delay the implementation of certain things because of some unnecessary prejudices.
Otherwise, the true independence and rise of the Takagi Kingdom will face even greater losses.
