As for the issue of surrender, Patrick didn't care too much.
Based on his understanding of Duke Durandal, unless the situation reached an irreversible point, the army under Duke Durandal would not surrender easily.
Duke Durandal's personality charm is still very high.
The butler seemed to be prepared and quickly took out dozens of magic rubbing pictures from the magic space.
"The unified army has deployed many new weapons. The most terrifying of them is the artillery that can reach the defense line dozens of kilometers away. It is so powerful that it destroyed most of the first line of defense. However, the artillery is hidden too far away.
There are also aviation magic troops specially guarding it, so the aviation magic troops cannot observe its true appearance."
Patrick couldn't help but stop walking.
He saw a huge steel monster, whose head could not be split open by the sword of the Knight Mentor, and the solid fortress was vulnerable to its thick muzzle.
"What is this?" Patrick asked, pointing to the Type 59 medium tank.
The housekeeper lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "My subordinates are incompetent. I only found that the soldiers of the United Army are called tanks? It is a new weapon invested by the United Army in this attack. It is the first time for many United Army soldiers to see it."
The steward's words revealed a piece of information: there was an internal agent arranged for them to enter the unified army camp.
"These are new semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles." The housekeeper said calmly when he saw Patrick looking at the new weapons held by the soldiers in the picture.
"What's the difference between the two?" Patrick asked subconsciously.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and then said: "Semi-automatic means you pull the trigger to fire one shot. I heard that you load ten bullets at a time and you don't need to reload until you finish shooting."
Patrick did not speak, but his face could not help but become solemn. As the commander of the Snow Fox Legion, he had extremely high military literacy and vision, and he could figure out the key in an instant.
In fact, the Kingdom of Cleveland has now begun to mass-produce weapons such as rifles on its own. After all, the Kingdom of Cleveland still has its roots in the past. It has also designed a new breech-loading rifle to begin to replace the existing revolver.
After all, the accuracy of the revolver is so impressive.
The existing breech-loading rifles of the Cleveland Federation Kingdom also fire one round and load one bullet, but the bolt mechanism is more advanced, making the Cleveland rifle's rate of fire one-third faster than the breech-loading rifles of the Maxim Empire.
Originally this was the proudest point of the Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom, but after hearing the introduction of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, he only felt that the Cleveland rifle was simply rubbish.
"The Type 81 automatic rifle is an automatic rifle that can pull the trigger and shoot out all the bullets in it in one go. A magazine can be equipped with 30 rounds of bullets." When the housekeeper introduced the Bayi bar, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Such a weapon is simply a killer weapon on the battlefield.
"What about this?" Patrick's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he took out a picture of the Type 56 light machine gun in the hands of a soldier.
"They call it a light machine gun. The light machine gun is mainly used to shoot at medium and close range groups or single living targets. It is deployed in the infantry squad and is the main fire support weapon of the infantry squad. It can accompany the infantry in combat. The effective range is generally 600 meters
~800 meters, and its drum can be loaded with up to 100 rounds of bullets." When the housekeeper said this, his whole person was in a buzzing state.
Because he is responsible for Patrick's intelligence work, he is very familiar with the existing weapons on the mainland, and also knows the lethality of existing thermal weapons, which are more brutal than automatic rifles.
"What on earth are the people you arranged doing? Why didn't you have any information about this before?" Patrick roared angrily.
Only then did the housekeeper come to his senses.
Yes, why wait until new weapons appear before sending the news back.
"Our people may have had an accident," the steward said cautiously.
Patrick took a deep breath and sat on the study floor. His eyes kept scanning the new weapons in front of him, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"When will the main force from the Magic City arrive?" Patrick asked.
Now Patrick has no confidence as to whether he can stop Aslan's United Army.
"They have already gone to sea, and they are worried that they will land in Willis Province in half a month." The steward said.
"Half a month is too long." Patrick said subconsciously. He could not forget the incident of the United Army taking over the entire Yalanshi Province in three days. He was now even more afraid of the speed of the United Army's attack.
The entire anti-Mei defense line was taken down overnight, and they were attacked from the front and back. Even if the sentries and patrol cavalry were not discovered by the sentries and patrol cavalry during the process of crossing back and forth to the Anti-Mei defense line, the distance was not close.
Patrick also had remnants of the original construction of the anti-plumb defense line. If you want to sneak around behind the anti-plumb defense line, you have to do it more than ten miles away from the defense line, and that area is mainly rugged and mountainous.
The saying "Wangshan is a dead horse" is not a joke.
The distance over the mountains is not as high as that on the plains, and the journey will take at least several times longer, not to mention that the mountain roads are difficult to walk.
"We must convene a parliament of nobles immediately and mobilize the whole country to face the enemy." Patrick said decisively.
The butler bowed his head and left.
When Patrick launched the Noble Council, every family in Kyoto received news of the Anti-Plumbine Defense Line. Although the magic line of the Anti-Plumbine Defense Line was cut off, the magic line of Dilan City was not.
When it fell, the representatives of the major families settled in Dilan City spread the news back to Kyoto.
It's just that after the war began, Aslan deliberately reduced the propagation efficiency of the Cleveland Federation Kingdom's magic signal waves and magic lines in order to prevent the leakage of information about the interception of the Cleveland Federation Kingdom's intelligence, causing a delay in the spread of all information.
This caused a lot of yelling from the nobles of the Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom. However, many nobles did not consider whether Aslan might have intercepted the information. After all, the magic communication business of the Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom has been divided up by the Kyoto nobles.
The staff of each magic base station have also been replaced by people from major nobles. Naturally, this issue has not been considered. Just to prevent Aslan from cutting off their magic communications, they have to give one-third of their harvest to Aslan every year.
Sri Lanka.
Now that a war has broken out, although magic communication has not been cut off, the delay in information has also had a huge impact on the Kyoto nobles.
The entire Kyoto nobility became panicked, especially the minor nobles, who received the news more slowly. In order to keep Kyoto's magic communications smooth, the person in charge of Kyoto's magic communications directly closed most of the magic communications, leaving only a few important departments in Kyoto.
The smooth communication with the boss's magic solved the problem of communication delay.
