I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

If there is a hell in the world, it is probably just like this.

[Blood debts must be repaid with blood! I declare that from this moment on, the Seris Socialist Federation will enter a full-scale war state! ]

[All factories will cancel their holidays, double the number of factory employees, and prohibit the export and purchase of all strategic resources. We will mobilize everyone to join the war.]

[They want to wipe us out of this world, but we will survive, and the people of Seris will achieve complete victory! ]

Seris's massive war machine started up again, with a large number of active troops being transferred to the border of the kingdom.

Medea did not expect that several countries that were deeply tied to the church would accept this unreasonable demand, so right after the envoys set off, the armed forces had already boarded the train and were heading to the border to assemble.

The construction of a multi-line railway network, which had never stopped since before the founding of the People's Republic of China, played a huge role at this time. The troops, which had just completed their equipment replacement, once again received a large number of vehicles and other military supplies.

Rows upon rows of train cars transported ammunition and fuel. The factory quickly expanded its staff and divided the work into modular assembly lines. The factory that had previously been responsible for producing agricultural machinery for survival was also reconstructed into an assembly plant capable of producing tracked chassis. People kept working but the machines continued to produce day and night.

The troops were also divided into one-third of veterans and two-thirds of new recruits for expansion, reorganization and retraining. The military armaments of the entire Seris Federation increased exponentially at a very fast speed.

In a laboratory, the first piston aircraft engine prototype has been completed.

Chapter 91 Aircraft Manufacturing Guide

The manufacturing difficulty of a four-stroke piston engine is actually similar to that of a piston internal combustion engine, but the way the cylinders are arranged is different.

Each cylinder is relatively independent and connected by a special-shaped crankshaft in the middle.

Four cylinders that are always in different strokes are assembled together, relying on the inertia caused by pressurization for mechanical transmission, maintaining the continuous rotation of the crankshaft to drive the propeller to rotate.

As for the cooling system when the engine is running, liquid cooling is used. Although air cooling is the mainstream, it is not necessary with current technology.

However, although the engine is one of the necessary conditions for manufacturing an aircraft, it is not the main one.

The main reason is that most people, even most aviation pioneers in the past, are not aware of the [flight control system].

Fortunately, Medea had the knowledge from his previous life and could come up with a mature three-axis linkage flight control transmission system.

In the magical wind simulation created by Medea, the flying vehicle used to train experimental pilots is not the real aircraft they are developing, but a glider.

Use gliders to test flight control and improve basic principles.

Such as lift, air pressure coefficient, total surface area producing lift, speed, lift coefficient.

That is, lift, weight, thrust, and drag.

In order to manufacture usable fighter jets, in addition to training pilots with gliders, it is also necessary to calculate a more reasonable wing aspect ratio.

Biplanes can increase lift by 20% compared to monoplanes and have lower requirements for materials science, making them suitable for Medea to build his first air fleet from scratch.

However, this was only an emergency measure. According to her estimation, when the first generation of fighter jets rolled off the production line and were put into use, even with her constant inspiration and improvement, the speed would most likely not exceed 200 kilometers...

In other words, in this world, the most it can do is fly high and conduct reconnaissance and train pilots, but don't even think about participating in combat or attacking.

Half a month later

While Media was busy rebuilding a new medium-sized wind tunnel, the Serespuellalor Front was the first to sound the clarion call for war.

Facing Ovinia, the country where the church's headquarters is located, Seris did not declare war at all. The military cried and made a fuss and asked the central capital for half a month's supply of artillery shells.

They also dispatched two Astarte express train guns to carry out fierce long-range bombardment on the city walls that had been reinforced into an immovable fortress.

At the same time, field artillery, medium and heavy mortars and tracked self-propelled artillery were also delivering large-scale firepower, and this round of large-scale shelling lasted for a full hour.

The military called this bombardment "Raging Sea"

Not just one round, but multiple rounds and batches of excessive bombardment

The two sides have been fighting for so many years that they have actually figured out each other's strengths and weaknesses. However, the news from Ovinia is still a little delayed.

The kingdom's rigid internal environment and complicated conflicts of interest have delayed their replacement of their weapons with any new ones, and they are still using the old-fashioned ones.

In addition to several old-fashioned magic crystal cannons that pose a strong threat, there is also a rotary hand-cranked machine gun with an extremely high failure rate that poses some threat.

Then what remains are those treasures from three generations that weigh tens or hundreds of tons.

The Lalor Front Army has been conducting continuous and in-depth investigations on Puelalor, and has gained a thorough understanding of the city's defense configuration and military facilities.

After the bombardment, more than a dozen armored tracked vehicles with herringbone steel plates installed in the front rushed to the position, followed by a group of vehicles of the same model with all their weapons removed and only two long plates left on their backs.

They used the heavy steel plates in front of the vehicle to withstand Lalor's dense hail of bullets and rushed towards the barbed wire defense line, cutting open offensive channels for their teammates.

The machine gunner on the top floor began to open fire to suppress the attack from the bunker behind the trench. At the same time, the soldiers in the carriage quickly got off, closed the distance with the vehicle behind, and began to cooperate with the soldiers on the vehicle to control the two steel bars to combine.

Under the wall of Lalor, in order to prevent being hit by Seris, they deliberately dug a trench nearly five meters wide in the front to prevent Seris' armored vehicles from getting up.

It was obvious that Seris wanted to open a mobile channel directly above the trench and then hit the city wall in front to attack the city of Lalor.

It was naturally impossible for the Lalor side to let the Seris army with explosive attack power get so close, and after the shelling ended, they pulled out all the weapons that could be delivered remotely.

As a result, less than half an hour after the first round of shelling ended, the Lalor artillery position, which had just been preparing to launch a counterattack, was once again blown to pieces by massive artillery shells.

Lalor thought that there were Seris's own people under the city, and they did not dare to fire indiscriminately, but he did not observe the battlefield carefully. Apart from the engineers, there were no other regular troops of Seris.

During this time, they also became familiar with Seris' emphasis on people's human rights and were subconsciously misled by habit.

The result was that they were hit by this round of artillery fire and cried for their parents. This was the result of listening but not fully understanding it.

Soldiers are soldiers and the people are the people. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. They have to charge forward even if there are knives raining down ahead, let alone a rain of artillery shells.

Moreover, this round of bridge building in front of the battlefield was led by the company commander, deputy company commander and sergeant major of the engineering company. The main generals were all on the front line, and the soldiers did not have the strange feeling that they were being caught and sent out to die.

The officers of the Seres troops have the right to shout "Follow me!", but anyone who dares to say "Follow me!" will be criticized and dismissed from the army by the soldiers' committee that night.

One of the steel frame bridges was hit by a King III heavy cannon, and the huge shell created a big hole here.

The engineering vehicle used to build the bridge and the tracked vehicle that provided protection were blown away by the explosion. One squad was wiped out without even a scream, and among them was the commander of the engineering company.

The company commander was killed, and the deputy company commander took over and continued to command the team to build a bridge over the trench. The third round of artillery fire from the rear attacked again, and this time it was pushed forward for another half an hour, making it impossible for the Kingdom to figure out the pattern.

This rapid firing lasted for five minutes, giving the engineers a rare safe working environment. They quickly used a hydraulic press to push the heavy steel bridge body to the opposite side of the large trench.

"Report! Assembly completed!"

"Report, assembly completed!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The soldiers quickly boarded the vehicles and retreated. The faces of the soldiers in the bunkers in the distance suddenly turned pale: "Damn it, this is not over yet?"

Sure enough, the artillery units that had been bombarding the city wall section to suppress the firepower from high above began to gradually change the angle of their bombardment, and the range where the shells landed began to approach the front-line fortress group, eventually enveloping them.

After suppressing the rear, they can also bomb the front. This kind of continuous firepower delivery capability far exceeded the expectations of the marshal defending the city.

Chapter 92 "Since Ancient Times"

"boom!"

"Astar! Damn it!"

"Where's the Pope?! Ask him to come and see me. What the hell have they done?!"

"Hurry up and issue an order to call back all the troops that went to suppress the rebellion!"

The communication efficiency between the capital of Ovinia and Puellalor was naturally very high. Almost as soon as the war broke out in Puellalor, King III had already received the news.

King III was not unaware that the Continental Archbishop had sent a mobile team to support the church. He was extremely happy about this at first, believing that this force could become the spearhead of his counterattack against Seris.

He never gave up the idea of ​​counterattacking, and the reason he did not move the capital and retreat was because of this problem.

Due to the backwardness of information transmission, most people in the rear were actually not aware of the news from the front. They only knew that the rebellion was serious and the kingdom had suffered a defeat.

But once the capital was moved, no matter how strict the news blockade was, it would be tantamount to a disguised admission that the Seris regime did pose a great threat to him.

Moreover, Seris itself is a new political system born on the territory of the Kingdom of Ovinia. This is at most a civil war, and the people will not have strong resistance. Whoever is in charge is the boss.

Therefore, if they moved, it would not just be the capital that was moved, but the overall influence of the kingdom would decline drastically, and he could not afford such a spillover effect.

The territories lost before would be completely lost, and this would also cause great psychological instability in the rear. The rebellion that had been barely contained would explode in an instant.

Instead of moving the capital, King III could rely on the two important cities and the supply from the port to withstand the attack of Seris, and continuously send troops and weapons to fight a war of attrition with Media.

Once the capital is moved, the elite troops stationed in the royal capital will naturally have to evacuate with the king. The important city of Puellalor alone will likely be surrounded and blockaded by Seris.

Unexpectedly, the church bypassed him and directly launched a trick against the Seris Federation. Now he didn't see any reinforcements, but the enemy attacked again. So he had to suffer from both sides?

Faced with the king's call, Pope Olgovich in Bonwich had no intention of leaving, but he did hand over the remaining fifty mobile knights of the Holy See to the king's command.

He had learned the details through the remaining insiders in the Seris Federation, and he also knew that Medea had issued a killing order against him, which further strengthened his earlier thoughts.

The ones who suffered more than King III were actually the lords of all sizes in the rear.

The previous war on the front line had already drained away most of the military forces in their territory, and also placed heavy pressure on material supply.

They could pass on the taxes to the civilians under their control, and rely on the private armies of landowners and other classes to collect taxes by force, thus forcing out the rebels.

After waiting for a long time, the kingdom's army came to support and suppress the rebellion. I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief after relying on them to put down the rebellion.

It was not an easy task to provide food for an army of more than 200,000 people. The nobles gritted their teeth and held on, hoping that these people would be well fed before working.

As a result, now they want to just walk away after fighting halfway without any results. Who the hell can accept this?

The spring plowing has just begun, and there is really no more money to be made from squeezing the lower classes. The great noble lords can only suck the blood of the small landowners and petty nobles at the lower level to feed the troops.

As a result, they asked for money and resources when they came, and they asked for money and resources when they left. I became an official and a noble because I wanted to be a master, not a beast of burden!

Anyway, the rebel forces don’t care about these petty nobles anymore. They just want money instead of their lives. You bastards, let’s rebel!

Now the aristocratic circle itself began to fall into chaos. The big nobles could not command the small nobles, and the grassroots were paralyzed and became rootless duckweed.

"I want to see how long they can hold out on the front line."

Medea sneered as he looked at the data of various territories of the Kingdom of Ovinia in his hand.

The troops attacking the capital of Ovinia have completed the transportation and storage of supplies and are about to launch the attack.

In order to prevent the front line of defense from being breached, King III must continue to withdraw troops from the rear. The pressure on Tina's rebels will be greatly reduced, and they can start to reden the surrounding territories again.

The occupied areas will naturally not supply materials to the front lines. So how can the front-line war with reduced resource supply in the rear and lack of blood-generating capacity balance the situation?

With its internal ideology blown up and strategically attacked from all sides, Ovinia was in fact on the brink of national destruction.

The Kingdom of Ovinia may have only one last way out, which is to ask for alliance from neighboring countries by promising them benefits and getting them to join the war.

Medea had already prepared for this. She didn't need to issue a mobilization order to deal with a single family, and the Kingdom of Ovinia didn't have the ability to force the Federation to do so.

Apart from the large-scale transportation of supplies to the Ovinia front, no other fronts were mobilized on a large scale.
