Short video spoiler history: The beginning of modern warfare

Chapter 10: Small Gas Tank

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, half a month had passed since the last time the sky darkened. Fortunately, the sky only darkened and did not disappear.

Li Shimin's life has not been smooth in the past half month. There is drought and locusts in Guanzhong. If nothing unexpected happens, famine will follow, and there may even be a plague. The thought of these makes him unable to sleep or eat.

Although the Tang Dynasty had rested for several years, the Turks in the north had frequently harassed the border in recent years, and the border had to be heavily garrisoned to deal with it. The treasury was not rich to begin with, and this natural disaster forced the plan to march north next year to be put on hold.

When Li Shimin was inspecting the capital area, he saw locusts flying in the sky and eating the crops. He was so angry that he ate the locusts raw.

What also worried him was the Changsun family. Although he approved his brother-in-law's resignation, he still had to appease the Changsun family.

The only good news was that the output and market share of refined salt quickly doubled, which indirectly led to a significant increase in salt tax revenue and alleviated the financial pressure on his disaster relief policy.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down after beating Zhu Di half a month ago. Fortunately, this rebellious son was only ten years old and there was still plenty of time to educate him.

What he is most worried about now is Zhu Biao's health.

And none of those bastards could find out what was wrong with Biaoer's body!
What a good-for-nothing and a waste!
The palace was in turmoil for several days. If Zhu Biao had not been in good health, Zhu Yuanzhang would have wanted to chop those imperial doctors into pieces and throw them out of the palace.

After all, it was a serious problem, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to ask Zhu Biao to pay more attention to rest, and he spent less time on government affairs that were originally used to train him.

As for the sky curtain, after being rested for more than half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang almost forgot about it.

At first he was worried that the so-called "time travel" of people in later generations would bring instability to the Ming Dynasty, but since he learned that people in later generations could not time travel, he put his mind at ease.

"Your Majesty! The sky is bright again!" a young eunuch reported. The father and son looked at each other and hurriedly called a group of court officials and clerks who were working in the next room to come and see.

Of course, no one knew that the speed of time in ancient times was inconsistent with the speed of time in later times in the sky, so everyone took it very seriously when they learned that the sky was lit up again.

[The largest arms dealer in the Middle East is actually a steel pipe factory in China#Hardcore Modification#Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory#Outrageous]

[It’s not that we can’t afford mortars, but Chinese gas cylinders are more cost-effective]

[Gas cylinders, which are used for cooking in China but are being decimated by natural gas and induction cookers]

[It instantly turned into a killer weapon on the battlefield in the Middle East]

The pictures and sounds were edited and matched, so Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others also saw the scene of cooking with gas.

"This thing can make a fire without firewood?" Zhang Fei's eyes were as big as bells, he couldn't believe it, but his voice was so loud that it made Liu Bei dizzy.

Liu Bei quickly signaled him to be quiet. After all, this was the first time he had observed the war scenes of later generations up close, and it was worthy of attention.

China seems to be the name of the dynasty in the future. Where is the Middle East? Zhuge Liang was multitasking, analyzing useful information while reading.

[Don’t be fooled by its plain appearance, its explosive power is equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT]

[That is the explosive power of 3000 grenades]

[Enough to destroy a two-story building in an instant]

[After the explosion, a huge shock wave will be generated, carrying hard fragments to cause large-scale damage to the enemy, which can be called a guerrilla weapon]

This clip is accompanied by a gas tank being launched and spinning and hitting a residential building hundreds of meters away, instantly destroying half of the building.

Li Shimin looked at the half-collapsed building in the sky and was stunned. Didn’t you use this thing to make fire and cook? ? ?

Can this thing make fire and cook?

[Because gas cylinders are cheap and durable, firing dozens of them at a time has the same effect as a missile]

[But the price is hundreds of times different. If the opponent doesn't intercept you, you will make a lot of money, but if you intercept the opponent, you will lose a lot.]

[In order to improve the accuracy and range of the gas tank, the Middle Eastern brother also made some magical modifications to the gas tank]

[A circular tail fin is welded at the tail, and a simple fuse is installed at the head]

[Fill an empty gas tank with explosives mixed in the right proportion to create a hell cannonball]

[In order to improve mobility, the Middle Eastern brother has integrated agricultural machinery such as gas tanks and bulldozers]

[Transformed into a gas turret]

[As the gas cylinder industry expands overseas business, this honest-looking gas cylinder manufacturer brother]

[Successfully entered the list of the world's top 100 arms dealers and became the real-life version of the King of War]

[What’s even more amazing is that the gas tank is an item in the field of people’s livelihood, so it also circumvents the international arms embargo treaty]

[After all, the guy from the Middle East just bought it to cook a dish, no one can say anything, right?]

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Guan Yu touched his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, feeling a little lost.

The video is not long, but the war scenes in it clearly show that people in later generations no longer use swords, guns or spears to fight wars. Instead, they use this inconspicuous but extremely lethal "gas tank".

This is a very hot topic recently, and the comment section is full of famous memes, so Chen Li opened the comment section immediately and kept giving likes.

"I bought this to cook a dish. What kind of Middle Eastern version of a madman's diary is this?"

"I thought the years I was an arms dealer in the Middle East was a fantasy novel, but it turned out to be a memoir [狗头]"

"This reminds me of the news that a certain employee who was sent to Africa secretly worked part-time as a military advisor after work to help an African chief annex 13 tribes [covering face]" "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"After 20 years, he is still a master of time management. He works during the day and becomes a military advisor at night. He does not interfere with both jobs and has less than four hours of rest a day."

"How did he do that when he still had to favor those eight women? [Laughing and crying]"

"Hua Ge's story can be used as a prototype for the novel 'My colleague is actually an African marshal'"

Liu Bei looked at the discussions on the sky curtain, and for a moment he remembered his nickname Liu Paopao, feeling a little helpless.

Part-time job after get off work, and merged 13 tribes
No, how can it be so easy for others to fight a war?
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw the launch trajectory and operation method of the gas tank and commented: "This thing is great for attacking cities!"

Someone on Tianmu also pointed this out.

"But this thing has a fatal flaw: its range is too short and it cannot be fired horizontally. Otherwise, it would be great for shooting down American troop carriers! [Eat melon]"

"It is said that the xx Allied Forces have solved this problem by hanging it on a drone to drop it, directly solving the touching defects of range and hit rate [dog head]"

"We already have drones, why are we still hanging gas tanks? [Eye-catching]"

"Yesterday I watched a live broadcast on Facebook, and then a guy wearing a mask and speaking Arabic smiled and took out a gas tank with the name of "Tianjin Gas Tank Factory" from behind. I was stunned [eye-catching]"

There is a kind of beauty in buying local specialties abroad [dog head]

"Heroes don't care where they come from, just as gas tanks don't care where they come from"

"After the boss died: Why did I go to hell? The King of Hell: Please watch the VCR"

Looking at the heated discussions in the sky, Pang Tong was a little amused and helpless. He really couldn't understand why people in later generations were so keen on war.

Zhuge Liang wrote down the shortcomings of the artillery shells made of gas tanks one by one. This thing is suitable for attacking cities, such as nearby Xiangyang and far away cities such as Chengdu, Hefei, Yecheng, etc. I wonder how long these strong cities can hold out under this kind of bombardment!

In an era when sieges still depended on brave warriors climbing up and fighting for the city walls, this weapon that could bombard the city walls from hundreds of steps away was simply too terrifying, because the shooting distance of an ordinary longbow archer was only 150 steps at most.

But how much arm strength is required for longbow archers?
The war scene in the sky, this thing is extremely easy to operate, two or three soldiers can easily operate the six-port "mobile turret".
Imagine a dense mass of gas tanks flying down from the city of Xiangyang.
No wonder, there are no city walls in later cities.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly compared the artillery technology mastered by the Ming Dynasty and cried with envy.

"The gas tanks and launch tubes were imported from us, but where did the explosives come from?"

"They are just poor, not lame. As a region that has been ravaged by war for many years, do you think they can't build it? [Eat melon]"

The comment screen on the sky screen stopped, and there were some strange symbols on the screen. Everyone hurriedly recorded them one by one.

"Is this the recipe?" Zhuge Liang was the first to guess it as he looked at the catchy jingle on the sky curtain, but he also didn't understand the strange symbols that someone had added under the jingle.

"Copy it quickly!" Liu Bei hurriedly asked someone to write it down.

"Okay, okay, you're preparing for time travel, right? [Eat melon]"

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin was really at a loss. Could this thing be passed on casually? Why does it feel like everyone in later generations knows how to make it?

Then Li Shimin thought of something and his face suddenly turned pale!

Not only Li Shimin, but also Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn. This thing was so terrifying. If it fell into the hands of the traitor,
Chang'an City should be able to withstand it, right? Li Shimin was nervous!

How to solve this thorny problem? Li Shimin directly threw the problem to the Ministry of Works.

The sky paused for a moment, then he clicked on the link prompted by the vibrato, and a list of search results appeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. Can this thing be used in this way?

Chen Li flipped through it casually and then clicked on a video. He actually wanted to know the specific proportions of this jingle. He had seen it before but had forgotten it.

The video shows a man who saw some saltpeter on the wall and scraped it off on a whim, then fiddled with some charcoal and sugar to test its power.

Of course, since the ratio was wrong, it didn’t burn in the end, so I posted this to ask others.

Chen Li went straight to the comment section and found the answer he wanted.

"The ratio is wrong, brother [eye-catching]"

Li Shimin looked at the strange symbols and comments on the sky, which contained specific discussions and additional explanations, so he started copying them himself.

Great! Say more, I love to listen!
Of course, there are also many comments that are personal testimonials, reminding everyone to be safe and not to tinker with things.

Chen Lishen agreed with him and gave him a thumbs up.

"I've done this before, but the fuse burned too fast and I got blown up [eye-opening]"

When Zhang Fei heard Zhao Yun's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh out loud with schadenfreude.

Experience is also a very important asset, so several dynasties have been writing furiously on it.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang vaguely felt that the logic of future wars might have changed, and the advantages of the defenders might be severely weakened.

　I’m sorry that I was too excited about writing last night and didn’t control the boundaries well, which resulted in some sensitive content. I have now modified it.
