Chapter 214: The Artillery Family of the Pruk Empire, His Hole Card Is Even More Terrifying [1/5 Requires Automatic Subscription].
“Artillery!? But why are there so many different models?! ”
As a weapon of war recognized by the world today, the artillery invented by the Puluk Empire can definitely be said to have attracted much attention, and Lawrence is also quite familiar with the first generation of front-loading smoothbore field guns of the Pluk Empire’s current foreign trade.
After all, it was through the reverse deduction of the Prüke artillery that the Confederate States produced the bulky and majestic cannons of the Confederate States today.
However, he swore that he had never seen the Pluk Empire and other artillery before this. Four carriages, each with four robust horses, dragged along.
At this moment it is neatly driving out from the side of Kings Street.
The long steel gun barrel in the back made Lawrence and the others shrink their pupils.
Compared with the first generation of Prussian artillery, the guns in front of them can hardly see many traces of the previous generation, except that they are still arranged with two wheels that are easy to transport.
If nothing else, the back of the barrel of these artillery guns is very different from today’s Puluk artillery.
Unlike the seamless gun body of the previous generation of smoothbore guns, the new guns taken out by the Prussian Empire this time seem to have a special mechanical structure behind the barrel.
Lawrence’s hand holding the telescope trembled at this moment.
He was not a professional artillery expert, but now the entire Holy West Continent basically knew a theory. The larger the caliber, the more powerful the gun and the longer the range.
The gun of the Confederate States itself had a very thick barrel, but in fact it was because the barrel wall of the gun itself was too thick, and the actual caliber was only fifty or sixty millimeters.
The size and weight of heavy artillery is only the power of light artillery. It’s embarrassing.
However, through the telescope, Lawrence could clearly see that the artillery guns taken out by the Prussian Empire were themselves larger than the majestic cannons of their Confederate States.
“Are these just artillery?” Why is it obviously different from the artillery we saw in the military before? ”
Next to Patrick, Mumlyn looked surprised.
During their visit this month, they were naturally taken to the military martial arts field of the Prussian Empire, not only saw it, but also personally tested a cannon under the guidance of several officers of Prussia.
While remembering the power of the artillery, it is also a very clear memory of the appearance of the first generation of artillery of the Pluk Empire. However, the artillery they see today is itself very different from the artillery before it.
The music was still playing, and the carriages dragging the cannons, the rows of positions that had turned from the Kings Street, appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
A row of four guns.
The style is all army artillery with wheels that can be dragged and transported by horse-drawn carriage, but in terms of caliber, there is a clear difference between the first row of artillery, and originally everyone thought that compared with the first generation of field guns, it was already a large caliber, reaching a terrifying 75 mm.
However, when the rows of artillery appeared in the eyes of the crowd behind them. Even Sophia and Ecto, who were beside Ulysses, were not calm.
“These big guys, you haven’t told me before, I always thought that you just made adjustments and improvements in the front and rear loads.”
Sophia turned her head slightly in surprise and asked in a low voice.
Ecto, who was beside him, also nodded his head, and suddenly, his eyes froze and he inhaled a cool breath.
“Hey, my God, this is artillery too?!”
Sophia turned her head and saw the end of King’s Street.
Two big guys side by side, dragged by eight strong horses, slowly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
It is said to be large, in fact, mainly because, compared to other artillery, this guy obviously grew a lot, to the extent of nearly six meters.
Ulysses smiled slightly.
“Oh, now the artillery industry of my Pruk Empire itself has been relatively mature, like the three kinds of army artillery in front of us, in fact, not all of our models, there are some small caliber rapid-fire bubbles that can be equipped to the squad, one or two people can use.”
“These artillery pieces were mainly used in large-scale wars, as well as siege warfare.”
Sophia’s face was solemn, and she held out a jade finger and pointed to the nearly six-meter-long artillery at the end of the line.
“Is that big guy your biggest cannon right now?”
Ulysses nodded.
“The Skoda 149 mm howitzer, which is very light in itself, but has the power of a heavy rifle and is a cannon used to provide heavy fire support in the medium and near.”
Sophia hurriedly asked, “Medium and close range artillery?” How far is that? ”
Ulysses turned his head sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“The maximum range is almost nine kilometers, and it can fire four shells in a minute.”
“Sophia, Ecto: Red 1 On”
Sophia, after hearing some information about the artillery from Ulysses, was already completely in her heart.
The distance between the middle and short distances had reached nine kilometers, and they could not imagine what was called long distance in Ulysses. You know, the Prussian Empire now sells them the Prücker field gun, which has a caliber of 60 mm and a maximum range of only one kilometer.
Compared to what Sophia knew more, the shock was even greater.
The emissaries of the countries of the Eastern Continent could only estimate the data of some new types of artillery in their hearts, and their reactions were not too great. As for the Puluk Empire nationals who watched the parade on the spot, at this moment, they couldn’t get the steel guys in front of them at all.
They are more concerned with the neatly arranged parade of squares.
With the completion of the military medical force phalanx, the official security array, and the newly established signal corps phalanx, the parade was basically almost over.
Ulysses walked over to the microphone, and everyone in the audience looked at him solemnly and adoringly.
“The great Prussian Empire, which has been established for four years, holds high the banner of freedom and industriousness and waged an unquestionable struggle for the cause of the anti-oppression of the whole world…”
Ulysses’s side was carrying out routine oratory work, and the emissaries of the countries of the Holy Eastern Continent could not understand the Pluk language spoken by Ulysses without being around.
At this moment, some people began to gather together, communicating quietly.
Mumlyn came to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Chirgaron, Kanginal, with a smile on her face.
“Ambassador Kanginal, I don’t know what level of assistance your country is now receiving from the side of the Pruk Empire, in the military industry, and you also know that we have no clear goal for the next negotiations at all.”
“It’s really possible to make some jokes when the time comes…”
Conguinal glanced at the polite Mumlyn but did not do anything arrogant.
“Ambassador Alexander, presumably you want to hit the attention of these artillery, right?” If that’s the case, forget it, for though these cannons are not the most dangerous thing in the Pruk Empire, they are absolutely impossible to sell to us. ”
Mumlyn wondered.
“Could it be that the Prussian Empire had weapons more terrifying than those artillery?”
Kanginal sighed, with a thick look of jealousy in his eyes.
“The most dangerous thing is that the Pluk Empire has not yet taken out the hole card.”
Thank you for the 2000 tip of the whisper of the big guy stars, thank you, and wish the big guy a happy National Day holiday.
