"Uh, um, tanks, cannons, armored vehicles, even helicopters and aircraft, this is not a problem. The question is, will your people use it? Especially the cannons, are you sure they will be useful?"

Maid looked puzzled and said in a deep voice: "Cannon? Cannons are not high-end weapons, so why is it difficult to use? Our mortars are used very well now, and which cannons are also very accurate."

Gao Yang sighed and shook his head and said, "Oh, let me tell you, don't see that cannons have appeared for hundreds of years. There is no essential difference between the cannons now and the cannons in World War I. However, it is not that simple to use cannons. If you just want your soldiers to shoot shells out, you can teach them how to use cannons in one afternoon. But if you want them to accurately land the shells on the enemy's heads, instead of just a few hundred meters or even a few kilometers, you must have a qualified artillery unit. The problem is that the Skeleton Gang does not have this condition."

Maid frowned and said, "We can build an artillery unit, and then, we can learn."

As for the Skeleton Gang's troops, the basic tactics and light weapons of infantry are just mastered. Let them use tanks and cannons immediately. Don't be funny. In another three years, they can conduct a coordinated operation of the intra-tank war, and make rapid progress.

As for cannons, the Skeleton Gang has obtained several d30s for a while, but they still use d30 as direct-fired cannons, just directly targeting the barrel and firing. When it reaches the sight range, the cannon is useless.

Whether the army is strong or not actually depends on the artillery and armored forces. The most basic thing is to have the ability to shoot curves outside the sight.

Don’t think artillery is easy to do, don’t think it’s easy to accurately deliver artillery shells to the place outside the visual range. It’s good if the army can use cannons to bounce the outside the visual range with thirty countries in the world can do it, and there are definitely more than fifty.

It is not uncommon to use a large caliber and long-range cannon.

That's why Gao Yang asked this question: It was simple to transport some cannons from Ukraine. It was very simple, but what to do if you transport them? For the Skeleton Gang, cannons are not as useful as tanks. Tanks can also rely on heavy armor to withstand the enemy's firepower. When approaching, they use tank guns to hit them at close range. This is the same as armored vehicles, which can play a role.

As for cannons, it wasn’t Gao Yang underestimating the quality of the Skeleton Gang’s soldiers. Even if Gao Yang helps find someone to teach them, within three years, the Skeleton Gang’s soldiers will not know how to use them.

Nowadays, cannons are often fired at 10 or 20 kilometers. At this time, the landing point of the shell is not something to be seen, but to calculate. Even if there is guidance from front-line observers, the same is true. If you want the soldiers of the Skeleton Gang to learn to use long-distance cannons, you have to teach them mathematics first. At least you have to teach geometry until the science of the artillery. There is no need for soldiers who are only responsible for firing the artillery to learn these. Just adjust the angle of the cannon by following the order, but even so, the artillery officers responsible for calculating ballistics must know.

Either you have to hire mercenaries, or to put it another way, find someone who knows how to command the artillery of the Skeleton Gang, or the Skeleton Gang simply stops using cannons. Tanks are more powerful than cannons.

After explaining a lot to Maid, Gao Yang came to the conclusion. He pointed to his head and said to Maid: "Do you know why the African army is still weak? It's not a weapon, here. Soldiers of the Skeleton Gang, I won't say that they are all illiterate, but 99% of them are illiterate, right? Among the only few people who know literacy, it's good that mathematics can reach the fifth grade level of Huaxia Primary School. You have studied in China, do you understand what I mean, right?"

He patted Maid on the shoulder and sighed Gao Yang: "If you want to let your people truly understand how to use cannons, you have to have a school to teach a group of math-level students to get to Huaxia High School. No, junior high school students can act as artillery officers. You think about the difficulty yourself."

Maid stared at the ground in a daze and said nothing for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly: "But the army that has never had artillery can be considered an army?"

Gao Yang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This, this is indeed not a powerful army. If it doesn't count as an army, it will pass, but in Somalia, it doesn't seem to be too powerful. Your soldiers are already powerful enough now."

Maid shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You have never seen the important role of cannons playing in the Skeleton Gang's army. Many times, when the cannons fire, our enemies will collapse. If I have an artillery team, even if there are only ten cannons, no, five! Five cannons that can accurately hit the target ten kilometers away can reduce our soldiers' casualties by half. I decided that the Skeleton Gang must have cannons, and there must be real artillery."

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "If this is the case, you can only find someone from outside. Fortunately, this is not difficult to find."

Maid said in a deep voice: "Your statement has strengthened my belief that artillery must be established. High, please help me find the artillery, and you can buy the artillery. It depends on you. I want to build a combat-capable artillery in a short period of time. Then, my people will also start to learn to use artillery. I will draw out all educated people to form artillery. A year is less than two years, and two years is less than ten years. I must build an artillery!"

It is too easy to find artillery soldiers and too easy to buy artillery. Gao Yang will be able to complete it in just a few days.

Although there are few cannons and few people, another artillery-powered army is about to be born. Gao Yang sighed in his heart and nodded, "Okay, since you want artillery so much, I'll find it. You can deliver it to you within a month. However, you know, artillery is not expensive, and shells are not expensive, but you have to spend a lot of money on this person."

Maid said seriously: "I have to ask for how much money. As long as the Skeleton Gang can still afford it, I must have a cannon!"

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you right away. If you like cannons so much, do you still want tanks? What about armored vehicles? They all mean the same thing. If you want these, you have to hire someone to help you use them at the same time. In this way, you will have armored troops and instructors in the short term. The only problem is that you spend more money on people than weapons."

Maid waved his hand and said loudly: "Yes, the equipment money and the money for hiring are counted for 80 million miles. Apart from basic bullets, you can buy me these for half of the money to solve these problems. I can count as much as possible, even if it is just a tank and a cannon, I want it!"
