58 The army going south

The next second, firelight and shock waves swelled under his crotch, lifting his whole body into the sky. His eyes instantly became dark, and there was only a roar in his ears.

This explosion seemed to sound the clarion call for the Eiland Hill Grenadiers to attack. As huge black smoke rose into the sky, countless Eiland Hill soldiers wearing M42 helmets, carrying their own weapons, crossed the already

A mountain of corpses of Arantian soldiers.

"Long live Ailan Hill!" A few seconds later, a lieutenant of Ailan Hill carrying a pistol stepped on the blackened and broken body of General Aranthir. Looking at the door of the city lord's palace that had been smashed open,

He ordered to his subordinates.

"Charge!" Following his order, countless soldiers with rifles rushed into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Soon, the green royal flag of Arant that was flying over the City Lord's Mansion was thrown off the roof, and that

The black Irish Golden Eagle King flag was hung on the towering flagpole by the soldiers.

The Airanthil officer wearing leather boots looked at the decoration of the city lord's palace, which was even more luxurious than the castle of His Majesty the Grand Duke Chris. Surrounded by soldiers, he walked in front of Adam, the lord of Naaru City.

"I... am Adam, the city lord of the Arant Empire! I am a person with a title! I ask for noble treatment!" Adam, who already knew that his fate was over, looked at the "poor and not even armored" Ailan Hill in front of him.

The soldier shouted: "I am willing to pay a ransom for myself!"

"Hahahaha!" The person who came to Adam with a pistol was the battalion commander of Ailan Hill. He couldn't help laughing after hearing Adam's nonsense, which made the atmosphere in the city lord's palace very cheerful.

Then, the battalion commander looked at Adam, the fat city lord of the Arant Empire, and raised his pistol and pointed it at the opponent: "I'm sorry, according to the order of General Waggron, the city lord Adam of Naru City committed a heinous crime.

It must be punished."

Having said this, the battalion commander ignored Adam, who was already shaking like chaff. He pulled the trigger of his pistol, and the bullet flew out of the muzzle and penetrated City Lord Adam's forehead. The gunshot rang out in the empty City Lord's Mansion.

The hall echoed, as if it was a death knell: "Bang..."

Outside the city of Naaru, Wageron dismounted and threw the riding crop in his hand to his new adjutant. His original adjutant, Corea, had already taken charge of his own role and became the commander in one direction.

He looked at a very special toy in front of him and said with great interest: "With this thing, we can send the news from the front line back to the rear?"

"Come on! Kick hard! Hurry!" Several non-commissioned officers gathered around the iron frame and cheered to the four sweating soldiers: "There is already a reaction over there! It's successful!"

That's right, this is the legendary human-powered generator, which relies on a device similar to a spinning exercise machine and relies on people pedaling to generate electricity. And on the other side of this device is a radio transmitter.

"Yes! Yes! Send the report quickly! Send back the news of the capture of Naru! Hurry!" When several officers from the command headquarters saw that the electric energy pointer on the machine began to tremble, they immediately became energetic and urged the electromechanical personnel.

.

The electromechanical man immediately began to tap the transmitting firing pin in front of him, and sent out the message that was as streamlined as ever: "Capture Naru!"

At almost the same moment, in the distant city of Seris, a dozen alchemists were mixing a new kind of synthetic rubber with the test tubes in their hands. Their experiments were conducted carefully, and Chris, who was responsible for supervising these experimenters, was also constantly

He rummaged through the experimental reports in his mind, hoping to get more useful information.

The magic ball of knowledge brought by the great magician Frunzberg helped Chris cultivate a dozen "artificial time travelers" who could help him complete some tasks. However, these people are still in the experimental stage of debugging the knowledge in their minds. Once they

Once prepared, the expansion speed of industrial civilization may increase by more than ten times.

William is currently working hard to record the method of making the magic ball of knowledge, which is his most important work recently. Another auxiliary work he needs to do is to dictate some secrets of the Holy Demon Empire.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. Chris must fully understand the strength and weaknesses of the Magic Empire so that he can prescribe the right medicine and take the initiative when facing the Magic Empire's army in the future.

Frunzberg is currently researching a brand-new machine. According to him, he should find a way to integrate magic into the machine to make the machine operate better. Unfortunately, his recent research directions are basically in the wrong direction.

Reese couldn't give him any clear guidance in this regard.

After all, Chris controls industrial civilization, and he actually knows nothing about magic. So he can easily draw the design drawings of a car, but he knows nothing about a car that relies on magic to drive it.

"Huh..." An alchemist, or should now be called a chemist, put down the test tube in his hand and let out a long breath, completing his experiment: a kind of artificial rubber with good elasticity and not easy to age was born. This is

A special material requested by Chris.

With this material, Chris will downsize his internal combustion engine and start working on a gasoline engine: in his opinion, only by developing a transportation vehicle like a car can his combat troops assemble and act more quickly.

.

If the economic benefits of automobiles in transportation are also included, the changes this type of transportation will bring to Ireland will be obvious. After all, it takes time to lay railways, but cars only need to be built without roads.

It's not too bumpy, so a car can make do with it.

"We started laying the railway in three sections, and in each section we built rails from both sides to the middle. The speed is actually very fast." This was Deser's railway work report to him yesterday. It is expected that this brand-new railway will be completed in 70

It will be completed and opened to traffic within a few days, becoming the main artery of Ireland Hill.

If the war had not suddenly broken out, this railway would not have been built at such a speed. Because more supplies needed to be mobilized, Chris ordered the acceleration of road construction across the country.

What’s even more interesting is that in addition to the railway from Dukou City to Seris and then to Tubao, the railway from Hanhai to Beijun is also under construction at the same time. This kind of construction speed is really jaw-dropping because no one would build a railway like this.

, just like a joke.

Even the most rational people will think about whether they will lose money if the railway cannot meet the usage requirements when building a railway. Chris does not have to think about such boring questions. He already knows the answer and invests in it from the beginning.

With 120,000 passions, we went to build railway tracks that no one knew about the future.

This construction model can only be used by Chris, who has a golden finger. He started investing in the construction of railways before the locomotive was produced! Now, a railway nearly one hundred kilometers long is about to be completed. Chris's locomotive

Still being assembled and tested in the factory...

Now, what the monarch of Eilanhir is thinking about is whether he should start construction immediately to build a railway from Seris City to Naaru City so that he can quickly transport his troops to the front line and put them into action.

During the war.

"Dang, dang, dang..." Just as he was thinking wildly and pulling his thoughts to the distant war front, the door of the laboratory was knocked from outside. After receiving permission, an officer pushed the door open and walked into the laboratory.

, stood behind Chris.

"Your Majesty! The news just came back from the front line. Our army has won a great victory. Naru City, the target of the first phase of the attack, is already under our control." Seeing Chris stop what he was doing,

The officer immediately lowered his head and softly reported the latest news he had just received from the front line.

"Oh? The Nalu has been taken down?" Chris was very excited when he heard the news. He put down the things in his hands and took the telegram from the front line from the officer's hand.

This thing can be said to be extremely precious, because this is the first time that humans have used telegraphs to convey news of victory in actual combat, and it only took a few minutes for the battle situation on the front line to be transmitted back to hundreds of miles away.

rear.

"Capture Naru..." Looking at the short sentences in the telegram, Chris smiled: "Well done! Spread the news! Then order the soldiers to publicize in the city and factories to spread the news of the victory.

Get out! This is a victory for all the people of Ellandhill! This is a victory for all of us!"

At the same time, on the front line, Wageron did not look happy. He frowned slightly, a little unsure whether he should continue to attack south and east, or whether he should stay in place.

The previous attack speed was too fast, everything went too smoothly, and the smoothness made him confused: if he attacks further south, his troops will rush to "Bud" and "Maricha" respectively, including Na.

Lu Zhi let him disperse his already valuable troops.

If you include the city of "Volavo" to the east, as well as the roads and land connecting these cities, then the attack force of Eiland Hill is almost completely dispersed. Waggron is the frontline commander of this battle.

As a commander, there were only 12 regiments under his command, and 5 were less than the combat strength of the division.

The current situation is that the two divisions going south are not the main divisions and their strength is not full. They are the 5th Division commanded by Coria in the direction of Bude, and the 6th Division commanded by Bourjos in the direction of Maritsa.

.

The troops attacking eastward were the 4th Division commanded by Modeller, the general reserve was the 3rd Division commanded by Wilkes, and the 2nd Division commanded by Waggron... In addition to the 3rd Division in reserve, there were

In addition to the 3 regiments under the 2nd Division, the remaining troops are all organized into 2 regiments, and the strength is actually not sufficient.
