"boom!"
With an earth-shattering sound, a heavy cannon with a short and thick barrel was instantly shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Amidst the orange-red smoke, a huge cylinder flew out with a "whoosh".
The sound of the shells rubbing against the air when they flew out was a bit harsh, like a locomotive roaring in the air. It screamed and flew into the sky, like a train passing by in the air. Just the sound was enough to tremble.
human heart.
Ten seconds later, the cannonball landed on a concrete fortress in the wasteland. The top of the fortress was first smashed through, and then a violent explosion suddenly erupted, which directly razed the fortress to the ground.
"This this……"
Colonel Grove looked at this scene dumbfounded, then turned around and asked.
"Manager Li, what kind of gun is this?"
"The M1871 280mm howitzer is a short-barreled breech-loaded howitzer. The barrel is made entirely of high-quality steel with reinforced hoops. It uses a cut-off screw bolt, and it fires a separate, bagged
It can fire explosives and artillery shells. Its high and low shooting angles are: minus 10 degrees - 68 degrees, and the horizontal shooting angle is 360 degrees. It can launch 250 kilograms of sharp iron bullets, which can destroy stone fortresses with a thickness of one meter on the top.
, Colonel, this is a type of artillery specially developed for attacking fortresses."
Li Chenqin smiled at Major Grove.
"With the M1871 howitzer, all fortresses! Whether it is the Turks' Pleven Fortress on the Danube River or their Karls Fortress in the Caucasus, they are all vulnerable. As long as a dozen of them are put in, the long fortress can be
The siege was shortened to a few weeks, maybe even a few days."
The M1871 280MM howitzer is said to be a howitzer. In fact, a more accurate term should be a siege gun. During the Russo-Japanese War in history, the Japanese army used it to destroy the Russian fortress in Lushun. Now the 280mm siege gun came out a few years ahead of schedule.
gun.
Well, to a certain extent, it was prepared for Russia - in order to allow them to capture the Turkish fortress more easily, with the assistance of siege guns, blocking the road between Russia and Constantinople
, that is, smooth.
A few days!
Colonel Grove looked at the heavy artillery in astonishment. As a weapons engineer, he knew very well the significance of such a siege artillery appearing on the battlefield - all fortresses had turned into decorations!
And what does this mean?
It means that Russia can avenge Crimea!
Before Colonel Grove could speak, the accompanying Russian officer asked directly.
"Manager Li, how many doors do we need to purchase before you will transfer its production technology!"
God bless them, they arrived in Nanhua, this... is simply God's Hammer! A God's Hammer that can destroy everything!
Just when Colonel Grove and his party were shocked by the huge power of the 280mm siege gun and directly requested the introduction of a patent, Zhu Xianhai was playing chess with Zuo Zongtang in the pavilion of the Royal Villa in the southern suburbs of Yingtianfu.
"For Russia, the direction of their expansion is either the east or the west. Compared with the east, Russia is more eager to attack the west, the Balkans, and Constantinople."
While playing chess, Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.
"In the Crimean War more than ten years ago, as the defeated side, the Russians believed that they had lost face and lost prestige and influence. They needed to find an opportunity to return to the Balkans and restore everything before them. For that war
, Russia sacrificed a tsar, and everyone in Russia is eager for revenge. Not just revenge, but also... Constantinople. Once they capture Constantinople, the Russians' thousand-year dream will be...
A dream come true!”
Why in the past two hundred years, Russia and the Turks have fought as many as nine wars, on the surface, but in fact, the real reason is that Russia wants to become Rome!
Since Yin Fan III married Princess Sofia, the niece of Constantine 11, the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Russia has believed that it has inherited the religious status and political identity of the Eastern Roman Empire, and has changed its national emblem to that of the Eastern Roman Empire.
double headed eagle symbol.
Constantinople was regarded as their spiritual capital, and the Eastern Roman Empire was the spiritual home of Russia.
Although Russia calls itself the "Third Roman Empire", Western European countries simply look down on this Eastern European barbarian. The "Third Roman Empire"?
Where is the legal system?
"...But once the Rakshasa regains Constantine, Russia can legitimately take over the legal authority of the Eastern Roman Empire and become the successor of the Roman Empire's thousand-year glory, and the successor of Caesar, Augustus, and Constantine.
, become the owner of Constantine, the city on the mountain!"
In fact, the plot of Russia's "Eastern Roman Empire" is well known to everyone. Even Zuo Zongtang knew about it. After all, he had inspected it in Russia.
"It is true that all of Russia, whether they are nobles, commoners, or even serfs, are eager to regain Constantinople and long for the Orthodox Mass to be held again in Sophia Cathedral."
"Gene Era"
After a pause, Zuo Zongtang agreed.
"Your Majesty, this is the mental preparation you mentioned!"
While making the move, Zhu Xianhai nodded.
"They have been preparing for four hundred years of spiritual mobilization, but more importantly, they have interests - Russia is eager to control the Balkans and then the Bosporus, the choke point from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, in order to open up it and pursue its own interests.
It is the only outlet to the sea in the southwest for a long time, so if an opportunity arises, it will definitely pounce on Turkey like a vicious wolf - General!"
At the same time as the general, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"What we need is to create a possibility for Russia to defeat the Turks. We have exported to Russia the latest rifles, artillery, um, all weapons including airships. If possible, we can even export warships.
In the end, the Russian army with high morale will use them to destroy Turkey, Ji Gao!"
Leaning back and leaning on the back of the chair, Zhu Xianhai smiled at the calm lake and asked.
"What do you think will happen when the double-headed eagle rises over Constantinople, when Orthodox masses are once again celebrated in Hagia Sophia, and when Russia's military boots wash in the warm Mediterranean?"
Looking thoughtfully at the lost chessboard, Zuo Zongtang was silent for a while, and then said.
"Britain! Britain will never tolerate Russia's occupation of Turkey, let alone allow them to enter the Mediterranean. By then, confrontation between Britain and Russia will be inevitable, and Russia..."
Looking up at His Majesty, Zuo Zongtang said in surprise.
"This is our opportunity! The British power will be restrained by Russia, and they may even end it themselves. In this way, no one can stop our expansion in the Americas!"
