Utopia

Too strong to kill both the enemy and us.

Coupled with the "thick outer coat" of the self-destruct vest with explosives stuffed inside and outside, no matter who picks up the piercing rod mine as a suicide squad, it is difficult to come back alive!

And the most pitiful thing for him is that the soldiers have few means of breaking armor. In addition to artillery and various calibers of guns, the soldiers want to deal with harder targets, so they have to use things like blasting tubes and explosive packs.

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It's really fucking useful. I use this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed to pass the time. You can download it here]

It's just that this kind of explosives is very powerful, and the soldiers who use these things to fight often need to take great risks, and it is possible to use their own death as the ultimate price to complete the mission.

So it's not just submachine guns. He hopes that His Majesty, who is notoriously stingy, can generously donate money so that the soldiers below can be equipped with some light anti-armor weapons.

Like the 37mm caliber flat-fire sniper gun before, it's too heavy and fails.

Lighter, safer, and more versatile anti-armor weapons are the most suitable choice.

However, there is a headache for the Guangwu Empire. What direction should their empire develop in to achieve the correct goal?

Recoilless guns or missiles?

The former is the type of anti-armor weapon equipment used by the Iron Fist Empire's military standard grassroots troops, and the latter... they need to spend a lot of money to study the missile engine.

For this reason, the best situation is of course to imitate the Iron Fist Empire's light recoilless guns. But this is not something to be happy about for the troops, and it may even make everyone feel extremely disgusted.

Because the establishment of the Guangwu Empire is related to the recoilless guns of the Iron Fist Empire. To be more precise, except for the members of the dog-headed people born in the Guangwu Empire, other dog-headed people have basically experienced the power of recoilless guns.

Especially the Iron Fist Empire has been using [To be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available. 】5mm recoilless gun, although the range is short and it is not comparable to the normal barreled gun of the same caliber, the power is unforgettable for His Majesty.

His Majesty's biological mother was right in front of him, along with a large group of servants and guards, a total of 24, and the humans of the Iron Fist Empire took them all away with a 5mm recoilless gun.

It was from that incident that the first group of dog-headed people who came to the New World hated and hated the recoilless gun from the bottom of their hearts.

But Li Caiyuan also knew in his heart that contempt was meaningless. If you want to make yourself stronger, you have to learn from the strong.

Your Majesty and even many people in the Empire now have an attitude that actually hates the rifles in their hands (the Manka revolving rifle is the weapon of the Iron Fist Empire militia. Even though it is far from the standard weapons of the military and police, this rifle itself has killed many members of the dog-headed people), and the idea that they want to have everything only for themselves is definitely not a good idea.

You know, as far as he knows, even the natives in the south will start to make black gunpowder by themselves, and even use matchlock guns that are useless at all, and even use various opportunities and traps to seize advanced rifles, pistols, and matching ammunition to shoot the imperial army.

In this regard, he hopes more than anyone else that the Guangwu Empire can maintain a humble attitude and learn more from the knowledge and things of powerful countries. The empire blindly advocates the concept of self-reliance and pride in the country, which will only lead to the empire's closed eyes and ears, and completely lag behind the trend of the world.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me. The Empire now has four main bullet production lines. If the production line of 6×6mm shotgun bullets can be stopped..."

"No."

"Huh?"

"I understand what you mean. It's nothing more than stopping the production line of 6×6mm shotgun bullets and using the remaining resources on the production line of 9×9mm pistol bullets to ensure the production quantity of 9×9mm pistol bullets. But have you ever thought about it? Our soldiers have a problem. Can they accept fully automatic weapons so quickly and easily? Our empire's machine gunners are all veterans who have been trained for one year or even three years without exception. Compared with the grenade launchers commonly used by our imperial army, machine guns are like this, you say..."

Indeed.

Thanks to the Iron Fist Empire's annexation of the Jiwei Peninsula, the dog-headed people basically know the horror and strength of automatic weapons.

But here comes the problem.

The Gnolls have known about modern guns for less than 5 years, and have only been using modern guns for 3 years. In terms of tactics, they can only barely achieve that after the artillery fires, the infantry will ride or walk to the front line to fight the opponent.

If the empire's army were to fight the Iron Fist... just thinking about it, he felt a cold sweat for a while. The Iron Fist Empire's army is not only powerful in light weapons, but also the world's number one in the development and use of heavy weapons.

In terms of artillery technology alone, the Iron Fist Empire is the first powerful country in the world to lock the enemy artillery in five minutes and let its own artillery clean up with two rounds of artillery fire.

So even he, Li Caiyuan, had to worry about his race. Even machine guns and grenade launchers had to be trained repeatedly to be effective. Wouldn't the ammunition consumed here be...

No!

That's not the case!

"But Your Majesty, we can't always rely on the sacrifice of soldiers. If they sacrifice too much, how can we accumulate enough veterans? Only veterans, and only veterans, are the core of an army."

"Veterans... That's why I don't want them to be equipped with submachine guns so quickly. I'm most afraid that they will not let go of the trigger once they pull the trigger."

One of the common mistakes made by recruits is that they didn't aim well, but they still pulled the trigger and wasted ammunition.

The Emperor Dunde of the Quan family hated the soldiers below making such mistakes the most. For this reason, he directly invented whipping to "train" the soldiers, so that the soldiers would not continue to make such mistakes.

"This..."

"Okay. I've made up my mind. I want a rapid-fire weapon, a lever lance. Forget about anything else. After all, the accuracy and range of a lance are much better than a smoothbore shotgun."

So, Emperor Dunde gave the order. Quan Dunming, who also has the surname Quan and is Emperor Dunde's father-in-law, shook his head repeatedly.

He knew what his fourth brother was thinking, and he knew that submachine guns were indeed not suitable for the army of the Guangwu Empire, which was mainly composed of gray-haired dog-headed people.

If these gray-haired dog-headed people were not trained strictly on weekdays, they would not even know if they could hold the guns steadily.

And...

Who can guarantee that the gray-haired pariahs will not use machine guns and other self-loading weapons against themselves?

Don't forget that in the Guangwu Empire, above the gray-haired pariahs are black-haired warriors and standard nobles like himself. Clear hierarchy and class solidification are the foundation and conventional benchmarks of the dog-headed people, and they cannot be shaken or changed casually.
