1717 New American Empire

Mountain artillery is still a conventional heavy weapon, but when compared with the 75mm rapid-fire cannon of the same caliber, it is nothing. When it comes to rapid-fire cannons, the most impressive one is probably the French "Miss 75" rapid-fire cannon. However, the name is French. M1897 75mm artillery. It is also called the French M1897 75mm cannon, the French 75 rapid gun, the French 75mm rapid-fire artillery, the French Schneider M1897 75mm cannon, etc. It was produced in 1897 and is an epoch-making artillery piece.

The artillery is equipped with a hydraulic retracting and retracting mechanism, and the recoil force of the artillery is absorbed by the retracting machine, thereby reducing the recoil force transmitted to the gun mount. It integrates the excellent performance of other artillery into one. This artillery with superior performance greatly promoted the innovation of artillery. Originally, this kind of artillery was invented by the French to resist the increasingly powerful Germany. However, Miss 75 was born at the wrong time. The Germans did not accompany them. Played.

Faced with the absolute technical superiority of French rapid-fire artillery, the German Army finally forced them to give up continuing to accompany the French in this passive arms race. The Germans boldly took a new step, that is, the large-caliber long-range artillery. The .75 rapid-fire gun, no matter how powerful it is, cannot withstand heavy artillery attacks of 105mm, 120mm, 150mm or even 380mm and above. Therefore, it has no legendary achievements in history. However, compared with any gun made by white Europeans in 1721 Artillery and Miss 75 can both form fire suppression.

The imitation Type 94 75mm mountain cannon was officially named the Type 21 mountain cannon by Xiao Lin. The imitation Miss 75 has a unique name, the Shining Snake Type 1 rapid-fire artillery, which represents the speed of fire that jumps out to attack the enemy like lightning. Viper. A total of ten production lines have been opened for the new artillery. Of course, it is not at the same time. Xiao Lin does not have the ability yet. This is just the final quantity ordered. In the future, heavy artillery with larger caliber will still be produced. Building too much will be a waste.

Xiao Lin did not wait for the two types of artillery to be produced in sufficient quantities. After all, they were new products and more difficult than the mortars and heavy punch series of front-loading rifled guns. It would not be possible to achieve sufficient scale within a few months. Xiao Lin began to mobilize the troops back. For each newly built settlement, one battalion of garrison soldiers was left, and two battalions of militiamen were trained on the spot before leaving. Doing such a risky thing was because of Xiao Lin I received news that the British are in danger.

Although weapons are of great use in battle, they are not an absolutely decisive force. In particular, only the rifles are far ahead, and the front-loaded rifled guns are not that much ahead of the French artillery. How can the British persist until this time and launch their weapons? It was beyond Xiao Lin's expectation. Speaking of which, Xiao Lin was also responsible. Who told him to be a black-hearted arms dealer and sold the arms at very high prices. But their weapons are really advanced and strong, and there are no people. The British who have advantages are naturally reluctant to give them up.

But now, they are really running out of money. This is not Europe, and they are not a prosperous family with a long history. Only those nobles who cannot make it in Europe will come to North America, and some will come to North America. Even if the land is scraped here for decades, not much money has been collected. Of course, even after spending so much money, it is not without any results. Even if the French come to reinforce, relying on the gradually increasing number of advanced weapons, the British can't do it. Forced them out of the colony alive and well.

The French also handed over 10,000 regular troops again, and had to restrain themselves. Anyway, they had grabbed enough things, and it was not a loss. As soon as the French lost their desire to attack, the British immediately stopped attacking. As soon as the cannon fired

, Ten thousand taels of gold. Since ancient times, wars have been fought with money. It makes everyone feel distressed to see the money in their treasury running like water every day. The three earls, standing at a high place, can see far away.

Even though I feel distressed, I can still bear to take action.

The nobles below naturally felt that they could not continue the fight. Instead, they began to discuss dividing up the spoils. In fact, there was nothing, just the ownerless land that appeared due to the massacre by the French. Even if there is no output now, there will be benefits in the future.

Indispensable. Each one looked at the fertile land and tried every means to get it. The French clearly discovered this and began to sow discord among these people and intensify conflicts.

The three bosses, including Earl Linman, were really frightened by this. Under the instigation of the French, these comrades who had been close before began to exchange bad words and even started fighting. Of course, it was not the nobles themselves.

But they are their trusted subordinates. If this continues, in three months at most, the original coalition of nobles will be completely disbanded. It will be difficult to gather them again. Even if they are forcibly pulled together, they will not be harmonious in face and heart, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced.

There will also be a big discount.

At that time, if the French gather a large army to attack again, the British North American colonies will be completely finished. The family roots of people like Earl Linman are all in the British North American colonies. Although they can retreat to the mainland or other places as a last resort,

Go to the colony,

But those places have their own power, which is deep-rooted. How can they be allowed to develop again? With luck, if they meet some people with a certain bottom line, they can still return home and become rich. If they encounter that kind of mentality

He was so ruthless that no one was spared his life.

There is another option, which is to join the Charles family and throw themselves directly into the arms of the Yanhuang Trading Company. But it was a last resort choice at that time. It has not yet reached that time, and the three earls do not want to do it. It will take almost four more days.

After more than a month, local reinforcements should have arrived. However, firstly, we still don’t know how many reinforcements there will be, and secondly, we don’t know whether the French will give them another four months.

Since this situation cannot be prevented, the three Earls Linman can only continue to strengthen their own abilities. After all, they are Earls, and they still have some wealth. If they abandon some of the bad assets in their hands, the three Earls will be able to arm themselves.

Forty thousand elite private troops, half of whom will be elite forces using company firearms. Their so-called non-performing assets are some towns that have shown signs of riots. These territories on the colonial border that were taken by the three counts will not be available in the short term.

It cannot bring them any benefit.

On the contrary, you have to invest a lot of money to recover before you can report anything. There are still many small nobles and businessmen who escaped in the first place, making trouble outside every day, trying to get the property they had abandoned before. Naturally, it is impossible for Lin Man and others to just do it.

If you give it back to them like this, they have paid a huge price to get it. Even if you collect the money and donate everything with their current property, they may not be able to get their money back.

Instead of doing this, it is better to sell these places. Linman asked Collins to try it and asked Xiao Lin if he would like to buy these places. Xiao Lin said on the spot that if a town had a population of 5,000, Xiao Lin would definitely buy it.

.Lin Man and others directly punished all those who disobeyed their rule

They gathered together 15,000 people, combined with three towns close to the company's territory, and sold them all to the company. For this, Xiao Lin had to pay 8,000 Hall M1819 rifles and 100 heavy punch type 1 artillery pieces.

, the rifle is equipped with fifty rounds of ammunition, and the artillery is equipped with ten rounds of shells.

However, Xiao Lin secretly used low-quality steel. On the surface, there seemed to be no difference, but the service life was shortened by 30% and the cost was reduced by 40%. With these weapons, they could not defeat the company's army anyway, but Xiao Lin

He had a picky attack and was unwilling to pay a high price. After the agreement was reached, the arsenal started working at full capacity again, and a sufficient quantity was produced in one month. Then, three field brigades were responsible for escorting the goods.

The two sides held a handover ceremony directly outside the three towns, and all the weapons were delivered to the hands of the three counts' private armies. Then these private armies left with these arms. The three towns were handed over to them.

The company was disposed of. The 15,000 British people inside also knew that they were sold early. But what to do? They had already been harmed by the French, and they were lucky to survive.

Earl Linman and the others were on guard against these people and were already dissatisfied with them. If these people were made stronger and equipped with weapons, their men would be in dire straits. Therefore, there was nothing they could do to deal with this situation. Even, for

In order to express Lin Man's goodwill to the company, these people were forced to come outside to welcome the company's troops. Xiao Lin did not object, and just took this opportunity to let these thorns see the company's strength.

Cut off their illusions of violence.

The three brigade commanders, Apache, James, and Barb, specially arranged the troops outside the town and asked everyone to check the military appearance. Then, soldiers with some musical talent in the army formed a military band and played a song adapted by Xiao Lin.

The military song "Bright Sword".

"If the company is violated, the hot-blooded man should strengthen himself and drink up this bowl of wine from his hometown. Once the strong man is gone, he will never return it. Let the blood stain the most beautiful flowers red and sprinkle them on my chest. The red flag flutters and the bugle sounds.

The sword has been unsheathed, thunder and lightning have never been

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward. The red flag is fluttering and the bugle sounds. The sword is unsheathed. Thunder and lightning flash. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward. Yanhuang

Military spirit!"

A few words have been changed and a sentence has been deleted, but under the adaptation by professional music talents, it is still so passionate. When the music sounded, all the soldiers' blood surged, and their bodies involuntarily became more upright. They sang songs and walked neatly.

Step into the town.
