Chapter 362 Large Artillery
Dawn City.
Before the first wave of the Immortal Monster's offensive arrived, Viscount Jawes finally returned.
As soon as he got off the boat, he hurried to the Lord's Castle and reported to Owen about the situation of the Red Sand Fortress with the craftsmen sent to command the construction of the water supply pipeline.
When I learned that the Red Sand Fortress was successfully opened to water, Irving praised without hesitation: "It's done well! I completed the task I assigned as scheduled."
"Thank you for your praise," the craftsman touched his chest.
Then, Owen turned to look at Viscount Jawes and asked, "So, how are the training of Viscount Jawes and the soldiers of the Red Sand Fortress?"
"Go back to your Majesty."
Viscount Jawes replied: "Almost all soldiers have completed training, and each type of weapon has the corresponding soldiers who are proficient in operating methods. It should be no problem to resist the southern invasion of immortal monsters this winter."
"Do you think that ammunition is enough?" Irving asked again.
"Um……"
Viscount Jawes pondered for a while before speaking: "To be honest, I think the amount of ammunition is a bit tight. After all, the scale of the immortal monsters faced by Red Sand Fortress is much larger than that of Dawn City. Sius talked to me about the ammunition consumption plan. When there are fewer immortal monsters in the early stage, save some use. If there are only a specified number of bullets, use bayonets, or pick up previous weapons to continue fighting, and gradually release the quantity limit in the later stage."
"I see."
Hearing this, Owen made a decisive decision: "During winter, I will increase the supply of ammunition. Even if the delivery time will be delayed, I will fully support the Red Sand Fortress against the immortal monsters."
The railway connecting the Red Sand Fortress has not been built yet, so traditional routes can only be used to transport ammunition.
This involves a problem. The transportation channel from Fengsuicheng to Chisha Fortress is by land. Roads are often blocked with heavy snow in winter, making it very difficult to walk on the road and it takes a lot of time to reach the destination.
After the report, Viscount Jawes followed Irving to the north wall, who said that the People's Army was equipped with brand new weapons and wanted to take him to see it.
In the artillery position behind the city wall, Viscount Jawes soon saw what Irving called a brand new weapon - large artillery.
The new artillery is too big! This is Viscount Javies's first impression.
The barrel length of the previous generation of artillery was about the same height as that of one adult. The cannon sent to the Red Sand Fortress was also from the previous generation, while the barrel length of the new generation of artillery was close to the height of three adults.
Such a huge artillery has a more terrifying range and power, and it will make people feel chilled when they think about it.
But is the bigger the artillery, the better?
"His Majesty."
After carefully observing the new artillery, Viscount Jawes looked back at Irving and commented: "The previous generation of artillery can be transferred with a carriage, while the new generation of artillery is larger and heavier. I am afraid it must be equipped with more than six pack horses to pull it. It is very difficult to move and is not suitable for carrying it with the army."
"You're right, this cannon is indeed not suitable for moving using a carriage."
Owen nodded in agreement, and then said, "So, we have prepared a cannon tractor for this new cannon to solve its movement problem."
"Architecture tractor?" Viscount Jawes looked confused.
"It's a military vehicle specially used to pull heavy artillery..."
Irving introduced the purpose of the artillery tractor to Viscount Jawes in detail, and said that the car would completely replace the carriage in the future.
After listening to Irving's explanation, Viscount Jawes couldn't help but sigh: "In just a few months when I was away, Dawn City has created so many new things. Is it developing too fast, or is it that I can no longer keep up with this era?"
"We are developing too fast."
Owen smiled and said, "But you have to come back in time. Take the time to get familiar with the new weapons and be prepared to deal with the immortal monsters. I have a premonition that they will be coming soon."
"Yes, your majesty." Viscount Jawes stroked his chest.
That night, Dawn City ushered in the first heavy snow of winter, and the strong wind blew the snow everywhere.
Many residents live in new houses equipped with heating. They just need to close the doors and windows and stay at home. They are very comfortable and warm. Unlike last year, they have to endure the cold wind that comes in through the gap.
Of course, most residents still live in old houses or mortar rooms and have to continue to endure the cold snowstorm.
Fortunately, the city hall has already distributed heating assistance to families with difficulties in life. As long as you add firewood to the fireplace in time, it should not be a problem to survive the heavy snow tonight.
The next morning, the heavy snow had already stopped, and the city hall quickly issued a gig recruitment announcement, organizing people to clean up the snow.
According to past practice, after the first snow in winter, the undead monster group is likely to appear.
That's why Irving also came to the north wall early to confirm whether the new defensive plan is feasible.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
Seeing that Owen was coming, the captain of the Templar Bray Gerve and Viscount Jawes quickly stroked their chests and saluted them and sent greetings.
"Yeah." Owen nodded.
Irving and his group then climbed the city wall and happened to see Uchina and the fourth princess Emily Wells helping Winnie wear a new wireless phone.
The new generation of wireless phones is much smaller in size and weight than the previous generation. Winnie can finally fly into the air with it on her back, and while conducting aerial reconnaissance, she can convey the enemy situation to us in a timely manner.
However, carrying things on your back still has a certain impact on flying.
Therefore, Irving allowed Winnie to abandon the wireless phone when she encountered danger in the air, and accelerated to fly back. It is important to save her life.
"Hey! Have you two done it?"
Winnie kept urging her, and she seemed to have been working here for a long time and was already a little impatient.
"It's soon, it's soon." Uchina responded, "Don't be anxious."
"The wings behind you are really in the way. If only it could be removed." Emily was a little sarcastic.
"Stop joking." Winnie curled her lips, "Take off her wings, how can I fly in the future?"
"Let's go back!" said Emily.
At this moment, the wireless phone finally put it on Winnie, and Uchina let out a sigh of relief.
"It's finally done, it's really troublesome for you to wear this thing."
Meanwhile, Owen walked over and asked in a deep voice: "Winnie, why don't you let the soldiers come and wear it for you?"
"Oh! Your Majesty?!"
Winnie was shocked and quickly explained: "That's because they were very interested in this wireless phone and asked to help me wear it. I didn't expect it would take so long to agree. It was not my fault!"
She was afraid of being punished, so she pushed her mistakes completely.
Chapter completed!
