Kore said proudly: "Kl05 type 120mm plus howitzer 24, 75mm howitzer 46."
An artillery configuration of this size, placed in a garrison artillery division, is enough to rank among the top three. The artillery of a normal garrison division is only 2/3 of theirs.
The corner of Wintersey's mouth twitched. She already knew that she would be treated differently, but she didn't expect the gap to be so big.
"I won't introduce the mortar thing." Kore said proudly: "The empire's army is getting bigger and bigger, and weapons must be given priority to the main unified army. Our garrison can only pick up the leftovers of the unified army."
Kore said: "The KL07 155mm light field gun, the Mero A 75mm electromagnetic infantry gun and the Mero E 155mm howitzer are all heavy artillery equipped by the main artillery divisions of the unified army, and several of the ace artillery divisions are also equipped with Katyusha
Rocket launchers and 240mmk3 plus howitzers, the latter two have not yet been actually put into use."
Wintersey also asked very cooperatively: "Why is this important weapon of war not put into the battlefield?"
"Because there is no need, opponents who need such weapons rarely appear."
Wintersey remained silent, already estimating the power of the 240mmk3 plus howitzer.
………………
The Principality of Valencia had already received the news of such a large-scale military deployment by the Melox Empire. They immediately withdrew the troops stationed outside the main city, and all citizens outside the city also hid in the city fortress.
Unfortunately, both the city and the fortress were limited, and a large number of serfs were left outside the city. Many serfs banged on the city gate desperately, hoping that the defenders would let them in. The defenders on the city wall did not move at all, looking at the city indifferently.
In front of the door.
In their eyes, serfs could not enter the city, and the city could no longer accommodate more people.
Serf Gus suddenly felt the earth trembling, and many serfs behind him couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation.
"So many steel monsters!"
Gus subconsciously looked back and saw the United Army's armored chariots driving out of the border farmland quickly. The chariots were filled with soldiers. They saw the panicked serfs outside the city wall. After glancing at them indifferently, they said:
He didn't care about the movements of Huon Fortress.
The Valencian army was so frightened that they did not dare to leave the city to fight. They could only watch helplessly as the enemy swaggered past their door.
Honseth, the commander of the Huen Fortress, quickly appeared on the city wall and felt his scalp numb as he watched the torrent of steel quickly pass through the battlefield.
"Has the magic technology of the Melox Empire developed to this extent?"
As soon as Honses finished speaking, he saw a few artillery shells falling on the city shield.
Boom!
The explosion shocked the serfs outside the fortress gate and began to run away, followed by a massive stampede.
Because Gus was at the front, he became the back when running. Instead, he did not encounter a stampede. He ran towards the border in a panic.
"No movement is allowed!" ""
After running for an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly shouted. Before Gus could react, he was pushed to the ground by two people. When his "little friends" saw this scene, they ran out.
"If you run again, we will shoot."
Bang bang bang!
Following three gunshots, more than a dozen serfs fell to the ground holding their heads.
Several United Army soldiers walked over with a cold face and escorted the escaped serfs back one by one.
"They are all serfs!"
A soldier pulled back the collars of Gus and the others, saw the serf marks on the back of their necks, and reported to the commander.
"Take him back to the concentration camp first!"
Atorya looked at the prosperous serfs in the prison camp and subconsciously rubbed her temples.
"Why are there so many slaves?"
No one answered Artoria, only a half-bent middle-aged man trotted over, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "Most of the land in the principality is occupied by nobles, and the peasants can only sell themselves into slaves.
In the Principality of Valencia, serfs account for 2/3 of the population.""
Atria nodded.
Mordred asked curiously: "Where are the free people?"
From the time they sent out troops to now, they have captured tens of thousands of serfs. You must know that they have just acted for less than an hour. Now there are a large number of serfs running around outside the fortresses of major cities. Artoria, who advocates the spirit of chivalry, is acting normally.
Under such circumstances, enemies would not be massacred at will, not even serfs, so this was the scene where serfs were driven away with cannonballs.
Although there was no massacre, thousands were killed by shell fragments and stampedes.
The middle-aged man answered carefully: "Free people are all skilled workers."
Mordred muttered unconsciously: "Oh, what a social beast!"
"Social animal?"
Atria looked at Mordred in confusion.
"My brother-in-law said that it refers to employees who work submissively in factories and are exploited like animals; now it refers to a group of people who are engaged in work that takes up most of their time, lack autonomy, and have a fragile economic foundation."
Yadong said subconsciously: "It's not like a slave."
Artoria and Mordred rolled their eyes at the same time.
Arturia said: "Place the people well, resume agricultural production as soon as possible, and organize young men who are willing to join the army for training."
This is what Arturia learned from the appeasement army. These serfs who have been exploited by the nobles for a long time, as long as they live well for a few days and are brainwashed, they will most likely become members of the appeasement army. Serfs
After being oppressed by the nobles for a long time, many people have lost the ability to think. Their biggest wish is to have enough to eat in this life.
As long as they can eat well and live well, they will be happy to join the Imperial Alliance Army.
The Imperial Alliance Army is a third- and fourth-line force in the empire. Their combat effectiveness is much inferior to that of the police force. However, it is very practical to use them to suppress civilians in hostile countries. Once the military has any excessive behavior that leads to a riot, these guys can be used to take the blame. It is simply ridiculous.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Gus was sent to a concentration camp in a daze. The old people who had been there for more than a month immediately swarmed over and took these new companions to take a bath, and then took them to the cafeteria for a simple meal.
Just started working.
The main work in the concentration camp was to build watchtowers and build new towns. Male serfs were responsible for hard work, while female serfs were engaged in simple weaving, washing, cooking and other labors.
Seeing the orderly development of the concentration camp, Gus was shocked. After dinner, he went to the dormitory and found a bed to rest on, with a quilt on the bed.
They used to live in a big shed, and in the cold winter they could only lean on each other to keep warm.
Gus asked dubiously: "Old Cole, what's going on?"
He also ate meat today. He remembered that the last time he ate meat was when the lord's youngest son was born five years ago.
At that time, war had not yet broken out in the outer continent and the central plains.
