But as the artillery fired again, he had to compromise.
"I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I have to go back and discuss it with other people."
Shersh smiled and nodded.
"I'll give you ten minutes, just enough to mobilize two more howitzers."
As soon as the voice fell, three Gwen II transport planes flew from the sky, and the 4th Air Mage Brigade quickly took off to provide cover.
This time, the three Gwen II transport planes transported not food and supplies, but the Merlo E-type 155mm howitzer. This is the empire's own howitzer, and it is also the artillery model with the largest number of equipment today.
This gun is a new type of artillery developed based on the original Merlot D-type 150mm artillery. It has been equipped with the United Army since the fifth year of Merlot. The National Defense Forces are also equipped with this gun in small quantities.
It has a high rate of fire and is equipped with an auxiliary propulsion device for easy maneuvering and rapid deployment at close range. New ammunition using explosive crystals improves the range and lethality. The aiming device has the latest magic digital crystal screen that can display continuous
The height and direction data provided by the command post greatly improves the hit rate.
The maximum muzzle velocity of the artillery is 827 meters/second, the projectile weight is kilograms, the maximum rate of fire is 6 rounds/minute, the maximum range is 24,000 meters, 30,000 meters (rocket extended range projectile), the total combat weight is tons, the auxiliary propulsion speed is 16 kilometers/hour, the engine
The power is kilowatts, and the gun crew has 8 people.
The rocket extended-range projectile is a technology developed by Kanglai World. A rocket engine is installed at the tail of the projectile to increase the range of the projectile. Its basic structure includes a warhead, rocket motor, stabilizing device and propellant.
When launched, it starts to move in the barrel like an ordinary artillery shell; after flying a certain distance away from the muzzle, the rocket engine starts to work, providing thrust and increasing the range. The extended-range rocket projectile is stabilized by its own rotation or by its tail. The former is called rotation.
Type rocket extended-range projectiles, because the projectile length is limited by stability requirements, the rocket engine is shorter and the range is smaller; the latter is called a tail-type rocket extended-range projectile, which has a larger range increase, and the range increase rate is usually about 25
%～100%.
The structure of the rocket extended-range projectile is relatively complex and the production cost is high. The extended-range measures occupy the volume inside the projectile and accordingly reduce the amount of explosive charge, which reduces the power; the shooting density is lower than that of ordinary artillery shells, making it
Development has been subject to certain restrictions.
But in the field of local application, it has unexpected effects!
The Gwen II transport plane can only carry four doors at a time. The carrying capacity of the Gwen II transport plane is only twenty tons. Logically speaking, it can only transport up to two doors at a time.
This is the most convenient part of magic. There is a lightening magic circuit engraved on the cannon, which greatly reduces the weight of the cannon. As a result, a Gwen II transport plane can also carry four.
Looking at the twelve Merlo E-type 155mm howitzers with parachutes in the sky, Ron's mouth twitched, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
Two heavy cannons were enough to knock them out of breath, and now twelve more cannons were fired, and even their family's mansion, known as the largest in the XC area, couldn't hold it back!
The corners of Shersh's mouth turned up slightly.
"Just in time."
The Merlo E-type 155mm howitzer that was directly airborne, except for the two parachutes that slowed down its landing, were accompanied by four aviation magicians who used falling feather magic to continue to reduce the landing speed and control direction of the artillery, allowing it to
Land at the predetermined location.
"It's a pity that the airport is still a little short. By then, transport planes will be able to transport more supplies and troops."
Shersh said if he had something to say.
Ron's face became even more ugly.
This airborne operation of the 1st Airborne Division shocked them. They parachuted directly across the southern range line to their rear area. If the size of the airborne troops was not too small, they could only contain them in the main city of New Weimar. If the number was doubled, the new
The main city of Weimar has long been captured, and the southern defense line may be attacked from both front and rear by the unified army.
As soon as he thought about this, Ron felt even more that the big ship of the Weimar Federation was about to sink.
At this time, a mentor-level expert flew from the sky and immediately attracted Shersh's attention.
"Don't get excited, I'm just here to negotiate. On behalf of the Bunji Chamber of Commerce, I am willing to provide a large amount of food to the United Army. I just ask the brothers of the United Army not to encircle and suppress our Chamber of Commerce's properties in the Federation."
Hearing the name of Bunji Chamber of Commerce, Shersh's face instantly turned cold.
The word he heard the most during this time was the Bunge Chamber of Commerce. It was precisely because of his existence that the price of food in the Weimar Federation rose so fast, and his vicious methods were outrageous.
Seeing Jim, the head of the Bunji Chamber of Commerce, Ron's face didn't look good. He originally just wanted to hand over some of the food as an explanation, but he didn't expect Jim to jump out at this time. If Jim gave too much food, then they would
Trouble.
"Oh, I wonder how much food you want to give me?" Shersh asked lukewarmly.
I have already sentenced the Bunge Chamber of Commerce to death in my heart, and will liquidate it when we take over the main city of New Weimar.
It's a pity that Shersh doesn't know at all that Bunji Chamber of Commerce is an industry under the ANBU, but this secret is only known to a few high-ranking officials in the empire, not even the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Administration.
"Two thousand tons of grain!"
Jim said calmly.
"What?"
Ron and Shersh said in unison.
Ron was enraged by the quantity given by Jim, while Shersh was surprised by the handiwork of the Bunge Chamber of Commerce.
If we accept this amount of grain, it will be difficult to liquidate the Bunji Chamber of Commerce in the future.
In fact, Shersh does not intend to let go of the rich and nobles in the entire XC area. The so-called handing over food is just a reason. He knows very well that the nobles and rich are stingy. This kind of business that only loses money but does not make profit, let them get more.
Coming out is almost like cutting their flesh.
But as soon as Jim opened his mouth, Shersh's plan failed. With this amount of food, there was no reason for the current 1st Airborne Division to refuse it.
If he dared to refuse, even the fool would realize that the purpose of the First Airborne Division was not food at all, but the rich and nobles like them. Then they would immediately prepare their troops for war. At worst, they would fight to the death with the First Airborne Division.
"This is just the initial stage. Every month thereafter, our Bunge Chamber of Commerce will mobilize a batch of food to the brothers of the United Army until the brothers of the United Army conquer the Weimar Federation."
Jim once again made Shersh an offer he couldn't refuse.
"No less than one thousand tons per month!"
Shersh said bravely.
"no problem!"
Jim replied lightly.
"But I have a condition. I want to see your supreme commander."
Shersh was silent for a while and said.
"I need to report to my superiors."
Jim stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Shersh knew that today's plan was going to fail, so he could only grit his teeth and have someone report to Commander-in-Chief Arthur.
