Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Although anti-aircraft machine guns are very powerful, they are still only powerful to a certain extent.

But this thing called howitzer was beyond their understanding.

Neither Figosin, Gerda, nor the officers of the new Northern Army were able to speak at this moment.

Magic arrays of that size have appeared before.

However, it shouldn't appear this way.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a team of mages, or a top-level mage, to carry out a strike of this magnitude at a fixed location after a long period of material preparation and complex spell guidance.

But this howitzer.

With just a few dozen seconds of preparation, all coordinates within the range can be hit. Even if the gunner needs to master some spell principles, he is much easier to train than a real wizard.

And judging from the name, it’s a multi-functional howitzer.

Figxin naturally thought that the grenade could be loaded with more than one magic circle.

"I need this, lots and lots of this!" She already had several ideas in her mind about how this weapon should be used.

However, Drogo poured cold water on him, "Many, many of these cannot be made. This thing is quite expensive and complicated to make. I can only give you six cannons in the first batch."

Hearing this number, Figesin was obviously a little disappointed.

If she had more of these things, she felt that she could deal with Roman's invasion without losing a single soldier, and the enemy might even be wiped out before they could even see them.

Every member of the new army in the North was selected and trained by her personally, and if possible, she didn't want to leave any one behind.

"Don't think six goals are too few, they can already achieve many tactical goals."

Drogo said, "And six guns would require an entire company to operate them."

"An entire company?" This was very different from what Figesin had imagined. "Doesn't it only take three or five people to operate a cannon?"

She thought about it. Those responsible for observation, loading, aiming and shooting, what else?
"A cannon requires more than just an artilleryman," Drogo reminded him.

As a leader with rich practical experience, Figosin has excellent qualities. Although he has never come into contact with this kind of weapon, he reacted quickly.

"Oh, yes. We also need commanders and messengers to convey the commander-in-chief's orders, as well as reserve gunners. We can't let the guns become unusable just because the original gunners have problems."

The officer at the side continued to add, "Similarly, we can't just ignore the solution just because the gun has a small problem, so we need to equip it with a dedicated repairman. The artillery company can't be without close combat capabilities, otherwise it will be finished if it is touched by the enemy, so we need a guard squad."

"There's also logistics, how to move the artillery, and how to ensure the supply of artillery shells."

As the chief steward of the North, Gerda naturally thought about this issue.

After a discussion, they suddenly realized that six guns for a company seemed a bit too many, and three or four would be enough.

As for logistics, how to move such a large cannon is also a problem.

It is not very common to find a treasure chest monster that can hold a cannon.

So the answer seems to be the most primitive way.

Pull it away...

"Where there are roads, we can rely on cars. Where there are no roads, we can only rely on Los beasts. Of course, if it's an emergency task, we can also teleport over short distances accurately. As for the scrolls, use them when necessary." Drogo said.

The high-tech cannon is pulled by animal power, which does seem a bit strange, but it is the most reasonable method now.

Similarly, the transportation of ammunition also mainly relies on animal power.

Benz has already developed a vehicle that is positioned as a truck, but it is still a long way from official application.

With a load capacity of only two tons, it is not much stronger than the Losmon.

The speed is not fast and the road conditions are very demanding. It is basically impossible to leave the city and even slightly uneven dirt roads are difficult to drive on.

Therefore, the "base amount" of ammunition provided by Drogo is determined by how much the Los beast can pull.

For example, the base number of a howitzer is 20 rounds.

This method of using a base number as a unit instead of a specific number is also to facilitate logistics coordination.

In this way, when transporting ammunition, there is no need to calculate how much transportation capacity is needed based on the quantity. A few base numbers mean a few Los beasts. It is simple and clear.

As for the specific base number, it will be adjusted according to different ammunition types and main modes of transportation.

By the time the proper trucks come out, the basic supply of grenades might be sixty rounds.

"My suggestion is that you first select a group of people and come to Waterdeep City for training on how to operate it. This thing requires proficiency. The ammunition for the prefabricated array is very expensive, but blank bullets are very cheap and can be recycled, so you can fire them at will."

Drogo said, "The training time for a gunner shouldn't be too long, a month at most. Even if you don't have to be very skilled, you can still fight. Oh, remember to pick someone who can read, because you need to be able to read to operate the calculation spells on the mainframe."

"Okay, I'll start selecting people as soon as I return to the North," replied Figesin.

One of the outstanding features of the new army in the North compared to the old army is literacy. Cultural courses are compulsory subjects after practical training. Not only commanders, but also front-line combat personnel and logistics are required to master the basic 3,000 words of the common language.

This vocabulary is not enough for creative writing, but it is enough for training.

Drogo had stressed to her the importance of literacy in the military before, and now she saw an example of why it was so important.

I can't even understand the instructions on the screen because I can't read.

"Also, the personnel who carry out complex calculations and maintenance also need training. This part requires a higher level of education and a longer training time. It may not be in time for the Roman invasion, so I can give you a group of skilled technicians."

Drogo emphasized seriously: "Protect these skilled workers. They are really important, just as important as the veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time."

Good technical soldiers are rare talents who have both experience and talent. There are some things that cannot be done without them.

This is also why there are two systems of officers and non-commissioned officers in the modern army, which are prepared for technical talents.

"Understood. I will protect them." Figxin replied.

After visiting the weapons, the Northlanders couldn't wait to return. They were very anxious. When they thought about using anti-aircraft machine guns and howitzers to entertain the Roman army in the future, they felt like there were goblin researchers crawling on their bodies.

They were teleported back on the spot at the test site.

Drogo waved his claws at the dimming teleportation beam.

He hates war.

Delaying him from making money.

You also have to spend money.

Loman and the Sutton royal family better have something enough to compensate him for his losses.

Speaking of spending money, it seems that we need to order a batch of Los beasts. The current quantity may not be enough.

This creature comes from underground and has an ecological niche similar to that of cows, but it is more useful than cows.

I am stronger, eat less, and my mood is more stable, but the meat doesn’t taste good.

It can be said that Losmon made a significant contribution to the rise of Waterdeep.

But in fact, in Drogo's mind, the best logistics transport team is his own kind.

Dragon is definitely the best choice.

There are so many advantages.

It has far superior transportation capacity and speed to Losmon, and it almost never gets sick. It is also a highly intelligent creature that can find its own way and complete tasks without the need for human guidance. It even has combat capabilities. If the enemy wants to cut off the logistics line, the dragon can fight back on its own.

As well as more advanced tactical functions, dragons can carry heavy weapons and run around on the battlefield, achieving rapid maneuvers.

Dragon-shaped cat car!
Complete tactical penetration and fire coverage at the same time.

The question is, where can we find so many dragons before summer?

At this moment, the phone rang from the Waterdeep Police Station.

What's up with the police?

Drogo answered the call suspiciously, "Hello, what's going on?"

"Lord!" A slightly panicked voice came from the other end, "There's a dragon outside the city."

"If a dragon comes, then it comes. If we haven't seen one in a while or something, contact the dragon breeding group to count the number of incoming dragons."

Drogo didn't know how the director did it, he should be very familiar with this process.

"No, lord, this time it's a little different. There are too many of them."

“How much is too much?”

There was a brief silence on the other side. The director must have gone to ask the person in charge.

Half a minute later, the director's voice came, "Still counting."

"what?"

----------

Drogo really didn't expect to see such a scene.

Outside the city, all members of the Waterdeep Police Department were deployed, fully armed and on high alert.

On the opposite side was a densely packed group of dragons, with a much wider age range than the green dragon group that had come before, and there were even quite a few individuals that were close to ancient dragons.

What is certain is that these were not found by the Adventurer's Guild.

If they still had this ability, they wouldn't have ended up delivering couriers together.

"Finished?" Drogo whispered.

"I've counted them. 426."

This number was greater than Drogo had estimated. In the months since the green dragons arrived, there had only been about forty dragons in Waterdeep.

Now it has increased tenfold.

"How did they get here?"

"You're asking me?" The police chief looked confused. "I thought it was directed at you."

"What haven't I done recently?" Drogo intended to find out the whole story in the simplest way.

Go over and ask.

At this time, the Brass Dragon Barosaris arrived on the scene.

"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty the Dragon King."

"What the hell?" Drogo looked around. "Your Majesty the Dragon King is calling me?"

"Of course it's you."

Drogo hadn't felt so confused in a long time.

As a dragon who had experienced the former dragon kingdom, he knew the selection system for the Dragon King.

Whoever can beat him is the boss.

Under this system, if the Dragon Kingdom still exists, the probability of him becoming king is indeed not small.

But that kingdom is gone. What’s the need for a king if the kingdom is gone?

Besides, he has never had any desire to become the leader of the group of dragons.

Barosaris knew why Drogo was confused, and explained: "I contacted all the dragons I know and described to them the possibility of you rebuilding the dragon kingdom. I believe they all came here because they yearn for the great cause you are doing."

"I rebuild the dragon kingdom?"

Drogo was about to retort when he suddenly realized that he seemed able to rebuild the dragon kingdom.

But it is not about rebuilding a kingdom that belongs only to dragons.

Instead, let the dragon integrate into the new Sutton.

I believe that with my relationship with Figosin, it will not be a problem for New Sutton to accept the dragon clan.

For a long time in the past, the dragon clan has always been in a state of hostility with other races. This was partly due to the period of the war between gods. The dragon clan was indeed hostile to other races, and the dragons that experienced that period all retained this concept.

Another part is that most dragons have never known how to create wealth for themselves, but instead rob it.

It would be strange if other ethnic groups would welcome dragons.

But Drogo should be able to solve both of these problems.

He originally thought that the war between gods was a mess and there was no need to seek revenge a thousand years later. It was just that dragons were too long-lived and had too good a memory.

Besides, the revenge should be against the magic goddess, and has little to do with other ethnic groups that have changed for dozens of generations.

Dragons don’t know how to create wealth, but I can teach them.

These are all super labor.

The great unity of the intelligent races of Felin cannot be without the dragon race.

Now Drogo needs to confirm a few questions.

"Are these all the dragons you know?"

"No," Barosaris replied, "This should be only a small part of those who are close. There are still many who haven't come yet."

Drogo was shocked.

What is this Dragon's Social Claw?

"Then do you also think that the dragon race should integrate into the new society?"

"Metal dragons have always believed this, and have been working hard over the years to prove that it is the five-colored dragons that prefer to stay in the wild." Barosaris answered naturally.

It seemed to him that this question should even be asked of Drogo.

Drogo scratched his chin.

Since the metal dragon also thinks so, it is time for the dragon clan to learn what it means to use their own hard-working claws to work hard and get rich.

And looking at those dragons who are already doing express delivery, they have learned quite well.

After making his decision, Drogo approached the dragons.

"Yes, just as you think, I want to establish a kingdom belonging to the dragon clan."

The key to the lord's speech is to start with a high tone.

More than four hundred dragons looked towards Drogo.

"But it is not a kingdom that belongs only to dragons, but a tolerant, progressive, and developed kingdom, just as Tiamat once imagined."

In fact, Tiamat probably never thought of it this way.

Anyway, Drogo had never heard of the dragon god's fantasy, but his dragons were all dead.

So now we are using the dragon skin to raise the banner.

This name is still very prestigious among the dragon clan.

Moreover, those who have seen the Dragon God are all ancient dragons, and these "young people" present have never seen Tiamat.

Whatever Drogo says.

"In this country, the dragon race will no longer be threatened by other races."

Degenerate, these days a sense of security has become an important need for the dragon clan.

Although Drogo bears a lot of responsibility in this matter.

But even without him, someone would have invented guns sooner or later.

"In this country, dragons should create their own wealth through labor. Now, all dragons, under the guidance of the staff, explain your situation and specialties. I will arrange residences and jobs for you later."

Package allocation.

What a great treat.

As for what job.

Arrange half of them to do express delivery first. The online shopping platform has long wanted to expand to other cities.

Another part of them will be sent to the northern border to become dragon vehicles, and the Shenzhen Research Institute will also be asked to study dragon armor.

What to do with the rest?

Dragons can't just have two career options, but current jobs all require professionalism.

You can't eat food for free if you don't work.

Oh, food?

Is it possible that dragons can farm? (End of this chapter)
