Chapter 185: 105mm Rear Loaded Rifled Gun, Confederate Ironclad Ships [5/5 Automatic Subscription Required].
Prussian Empire, White Jade Palace.
When Ulysses received the news from Austin’s side, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but slightly tickle. Because the impact of the sudden force was too great, and the distance between the Kingdom of Chirgaron and the Holy Kingdom of St. Antines was too close.
On the way, the carriage caravan and the sea fleet back and forth, the goods have just been produced from the textile factory, can be packed into boxes and shipped. There is no respite for the handmade textile industry on the side of the Divine Religion at all.
Under the eight fists of the king, in just over two months, the high-level of the Divine Sect State sent a warning.
“Oh, since our Majesty Zeleo has a grudge with the other side, then as an ally, how can we also provide support, and send someone to inform the Golden Island that the batch of eliminated flintlock guns that have been sealed has a new owner.”
“Send the fleet to the Kingdom of Chilgaron and tell Austin that the Divine Religion is very powerful, and in order to gain a foothold in the future, we need His Majesty Zerio to kick the ass of those people and make them honest.”
Ulysses said this in a soft tone. Reported in a letter sent by Austin across the ocean.
In addition to the profit summary of the first and second months of the Eastern Continent Company, it was the top level of the Qi’er Jialong Kingdom that was recently preparing to meet with the Divine Sect State.
The Kingdom of Chirjaron, which holds 19% of the shares, can get nearly 1.4 million gold coins in two months, and as for the Pluk Empire, it is directly more than 7.3 million gold coins.
However, Ulysses did not have the coins shipped back to the 12th country.
Instead, it was secretly sent to the Golden Island and extracted some of the gold. The refined gold will be sent back to China, and as for the gold coins that are already “worthless”.
It will be spent through the Prussian Empire’s eyeliner and intelligence personnel on the Holy East Continent.
With these cheap gold coins, an intelligence network was established for the Prussian Empire, investigating the information of officials in various countries and countries, investigating the industrial situation and resource distribution of various countries…
However, compared to Ulysses’s calmness.
At this moment, King Ector of Timesia, who was also in Ulysses’ office, and Sophia, Queen of Villani’s Golden Feathers, looked at their own dividends in their hands.
Every eyeball is going to pop out.
Ulysses glanced at Sophia at the moment and shook his head wordlessly.
“I said, Your Majesty the Queen, how did you follow us to the world in the first place, and this is more profitable, just like this?”
Sophia looked up, took a deep breath and rolled her eyes at Ulysses.
Of course, she knew what Ulysses meant by “seeing the world”, wasn’t that the time to get gold from the gold coins of various countries? But where that kind of thing can be compared with the dividends of the East Continent Company, it is a hammer deal.
Even if Sophia was sure that Ulysses was still secretly doing this, it was not easy for him to bring him along.
However, the dividends of the Eastern Continent Company are different.
The 17% stake in the Golden Feather Kingdom of Veroni, divided in two months, is also more than one million gold coins!
“Ah, our little Kingdom of Veloni Golden Feather, where can we compare with the great empire of your majesty Pruuk, more than a million gold coins, but enough for us to build several railways.”
“Unfortunately, no matter how good the gold coins are, they have already reached your guy’s pocket before they are hot…”
As she spoke, Sophia shook her head helplessly and threw the document aside.
Just now, she had signed an agreement for Sango, the representative of the Eastern Continent Company, to directly transfer the dividend to the Pluk Empire.
In exchange, the Pruk Empire helped build a railway from the Kingdom of Veroni to the new territory of the Toulouse region.
Now, after the completion of the railway from the King of Veroni to the Blue Ocean City of the Prussian Empire, Sophia came to the Prussian Empire more and more frequently.
With a comfortable special train and sleeping kung fu, he rushed from the King of Veroni Golden Feather to Salamandis City.
And the Kingdom of Veroni Golden Feather, these days, is also relying on the railway that runs through the railway network of the Pruk Empire, which has accelerated a lot of commercial flows.
And while the two were talking, they noticed that Ektor, who seemed to be stupid. At this moment, the old guy stared blankly at the report document in his hand.
It was as if he had lost his memory and his head was blank.
“Cough, Your Majesty Ecto, what are you thinking?” You okay? ”
Ulysses coughed softly, and the latter finally came back to his senses, his eyes moving away from the debriefing document with difficulty, and he swallowed a mouthful of age, his face full of disbelief.
“It’s only been two months, and I have made almost nothing out of the kingdom of Timesia, and I have made a million gold coins?!”
“This, this is so dreamy…”
Ulysses smiled lightly.
“This is the charm of industry, in the past, hand-weaving a piece of cloth, it took time, enough for us to weave dozens of high-quality cloth through industrial machinery.”
“In the case that those handicrafts lose their market competitiveness, the market will only be swallowed up by us.”
“Monopoly, naturally earn more…”
Ulysses spoke easily, but Ector shook his head in shock. For a long time, I finally took a deep breath and had a smile on my face.
“Like His Majesty Sofia on the side of the Kingdom of Timesia, these dividends we have all invested in the construction of our own ports and shipyards, and by the way, I hope that the Meni rifles of your country can be sold to us some more, and that kind of artillery.”
“Lately, perhaps because our two countries have become more closely linked, the Allies, which are already wary of us, have also begun to target Themisia, and the neighboring Duchy of Dekar is also building defensive lines.”
Ulysses nodded his head in agreement.
As for the confederate defenses with high hopes, Ulysses never looked at them. Wait until Ektor’s side has signed the agreement and leave satisfied.
Sophia is full of charm, leaning slightly towards Ulysses with her upper body at just the right height.
“Now that Veroni Jinyu has two hundred cannons, it seems that you must already have more powerful artillery, although you can’t sell them, but it’s always okay to show me, right?”
Ulysses’s eyes changed instantly.
“You, I’m talking about artillery!”
Ulysses nodded, stood up slowly, his eyes aggressive, the corners of his mouth smiling dangerously, and nodded.
“Yes, I know you’re talking about artillery, just that kind of big, powerful, and hot artillery, and since you want to see, with our relationship, of course I won’t hide it…”
Seeing that Sophia was about to flee again, Ulysses finally let the other party go. Raised an eyebrow.
“Go, take you to see my latest artillery of Prussia, and see if our Majesty Sophia can go back and study it for himself.”
Sophia snorted softly, never hiding her purpose, and she had no need to hide from Ulysses.
Soon the two were in a carriage to a dense forest camp on the outskirts of the city, near the snowy area of Camberussos.
Along the way, after passing several guards and sentry, Sophia entered the barracks and immediately saw three or four guns on the open ground, with their guns raised high.
“This, this cannon does not seem simple, the barrel is thicker than the gun you sold us.”
Ulysses glanced appreciatively at Sophia, and the woman now knew the pleasure of the cannon as well.
“When the first generation of artillery was produced, it was a front-loading smoothbore gun, and its own power and accuracy were still limited, and the process was very cumbersome, but the one you see now, the 105 mm rear-loading rifled gun, is the existence of heavy artillery in this era.”
“Powerful, long range, high rate of fire and high service life.”
427 Ulysses said, and immediately beckoned several artillerymen to the test site.
Under Sophia’s curious gaze, the artilleryman took out a shell that was significantly different from the style of today. Like a spherical trophy with a pedestal.
A member of the gun crew quickly twisted the spiral running bolt behind the gun, pushing the strange shell into it, and then tightened the bolt. As the men on the side gave the order to fire the gun.
“Boom!”
After a huge roar, on the edge of a cliff more than a thousand meters away, a fierce explosion immediately sounded. In the distance, you can see a cloud of smoke billowing up.
The gun crew quickly unscrewed the bolt, and then cleaned the inside of the gun with a wooden stick, and a shell was filled in again, tightening the bolt…
“Boom!”
After only three minutes or so, another shell bombarded out. Ulysses looked at the shocked Sophia with a faint smile on her face.
The Kingdom of Verony now has a certain industrial base, but some important industrial machine tools, such as boring machines for marking the barrel, are not available to them.
And without a sufficient foundation in materials science, they simply could not build such a device.
However, this rifled gun is not without shortcomings, if nothing else, just now the artillery screwed the rear of the bolt, it is quite laborious, and this gun due to its heavier weight, can not adjust the angle.
When launching, it is even more necessary to equip with a hard base…..
Sophia looked around the cannon with a look of envy, but Ulysses already had some disgust in his heart at the moment.
Just then, Ezio, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Agency, rushed over.
At the same time, there was another thing that surprised Ulysses slightly.
“The Confederates have built an ironclad ship in the inland rivers south of the kingdom of Ale!”
