Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 43 43 Alice

A row of soldiers in bright yellow military uniforms neatly raised their rifles amidst the sound of commands, pointed at a distant target, and pulled the trigger pressed by their index fingers.

"Boom!" A dense sound of gunfire echoed in the school field, and the white cover sprayed out the muzzle, rolling in front of the row of soldiers, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

"Load!" The officer standing beside the row of soldiers gave an order loudly with his chin raised.

These soldiers put down the rifles in their hands, pulled the bolt on the side of the rifle, and began to clean up the remaining gunpowder and unburned paper shells in the chamber.

Their movements were slightly jerky, but it could be seen that they already had a certain understanding of the new rifle in their hands.

This weapon is more powerful than any flintlock they have ever seen and will give them an advantage in the war to come.

So each of them trains very seriously, and cherishes the rifle in their hands very much.

"My lord!" An officer walked up to the middle-aged man in a black cloak standing on the edge of the school field, holding his long sword at his waist, and lowered his head slightly.

"Well. They performed very well." Fischero put down the binoculars in his hand, and was very satisfied with this salvo.

When Tang Mo sold him the K1 fast gun before, he brought a total of 3 samples, and these samples were all left in North Ridge.

Earl Fischero was worthy of being a battle-tested veteran, so he immediately used these three quick guns to give training courses to all the officers.

First, he personally explained the shooting skills to these officers, and then let these officers test fire new guns, understand the structure of the new guns, and familiarize themselves with how to use the new guns.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Mo returned to Bunas with the supplies, and the escorting convoy brought the ten K1 fast guns in stock back to North Ridge. In this way, the Earl had 13 guns made by Tang Mo in his hands. K1 fast gun.

At the same time, he also brought back the exact news that Tang Mo was able to produce the K1 fast gun!The news reassured the Earl, and at the same time ordered a new batch of production materials to be sent to Tang Mo.

In the past half a month, Lord Earl has been using these K1 fast guns to train his guards. He hopes that the next batch of fast guns will be popularized in the army as soon as they arrive in Northridge.

The count stuffed the binoculars in his hand back into the leather tube on his waist, and signaled the officer in front of him to be more casual.

The officer relaxed a little and was no longer so restrained. He complained to the earl: "We still have too few K1 quick guns in our hands. The soldiers take turns training, which is really too troublesome."

Fischero was also a little anxious, but he still didn't show it. He just explained: "No way, there are only 13 such fast guns for us over there. I can only use the existing weapons and rotate them. Training, so that every soldier can master the use of new weapons."

The officer looked at Fischero, and asked with some expectation: "So, my lord, when will the new weapons arrive?"

"Tiger's letter said that he will soon escort a batch of new guns back to Wolf City." The earl stretched out his hand and patted the opponent's arm, comforting his officer, and said with a smile.

"It's too soon again, we are running out of time." The officer was a little dissatisfied with Tiger's procrastination, and whispered.

Earl Fischero smiled and concealed his bitterness: "There is no good way, all we can do is wait. The good news is that the war will not break out immediately, and we still have a little For a while..."

Recently, although the neighbors to the north are not peaceful, some problems have been exposed-time is not very favorable for this war, because winter is coming.

Once it enters winter, operations will be in trouble.The best way is to wait until next spring.

In this way, on the one hand, wars can be used to destroy the farmland of North Ridge during the busy season of farming, and the agriculture of North Ridge will be destroyed; The Kingdom of Sussus is in favor.

"The troops in the Kingdom of Susas are being mobilized frequently, and we should recruit new soldiers here," the officer reminded.

"Letting those peasants take up arms is simply desecrating life. They don't know anything, and there is only one way to die on the battlefield." Earl Fishero still disagrees with the expansion of armies and preparations for war, because he doesn't have so many arms, and he doesn't have so many weapons. Spend more time training farmers and turning these peasant workers into soldiers.

Every soldier of the Northridge Legion has undergone at least two years of rigorous training, and the recruits trained in three to four months are no different from cannon fodder in the eyes of Earl Fischero.

The officer who was more supportive of military expansion and war preparations spoke again, persuading the earl, "However, they can stop the enemy's advance and buy enough time for our elite soldiers."

In the end, Earl Fischero still didn't agree with his suggestion. He shook his head and said, "I'll think about it again! If Tiger comes back, you must notify me as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Although not reconciled, the officer who clenched his fists in private still nodded slightly to Fishero.

At this time, a clear and pleasant voice like a yellow warbler sounded from behind the two of them: "Father!"

When Fischero looked back, he saw a sassy girl wearing aristocratic cavalry attire, jodhpurs, and riding boots, with only a long ponytail and no complicated hat standing there.

This heroic girl has delicate features, as if she was painted.Her eyes were large, her eyebrows were raised, and her bright red lips were alluringly set off by her fair skin.

He immediately put a smile on his face, stretched out his hands, and hugged each other: "Oh! My dear Alice, have you come back from the copper mine? How is it? It's a good place for hunting."

After Alice hugged her father, she said angrily, "If I don't come back, Father, you may go bankrupt."

"What's wrong?" Fischero smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and asked knowingly.

Alice nodded slightly to the officer next to her father, and then continued to look at Fishelo: "I found out that a large sum of money has been missing recently, so I come to discuss with you, what is the source of our already meager income?" It was squandered."

Mentioning this made Fishereau even more embarrassed—his wife died early, leaving him only one daughter.And this daughter obviously inherited her mother's intelligence, and has been in charge of the earl's property since she was 12 years old.

Today, this 17-year-old beautiful girl is already a well-known financial officer in Northridge Wolf City. Under her management, the Earl, who cuts taxes and loves the people like a son, can maintain development without facing the bad news of bankruptcy.

So now, facing his daughter, the Earl can only explain with an awkward smile: "That's right, we are purchasing a batch of arms recently..."

"Arms? My lord father, the Cyric flintlock guns are purchased by the Kingdom! We don't need to spend money at all! In order to prepare for the war, I allocated funds before I left and purchased 30 artillery pieces! And as far as I know, purchasing a There is no need for such a large sum of money for a batch of arms!" Alice stared into the earl's eyes and said word by word.

Earl Fischero squeezed out a smile and continued to explain: "Yes, but what I bought is a new type of ammunition."

"New munitions?" Alice frowned, and for a moment, she even thought of the possibility that her father had been cheated.These days, who doesn't know that the weapons and ammunition provided by Cyric are the best?

The earl immediately explained to his beloved daughter: "You were auditing at the copper mine at that time, but you didn't go back to Wolf City, so you may not know. We purchased a batch of new rifles to deal with Susas's attack on Northridge. threat."

Alice was about to be pleased by her father, and asked angrily: "So, the 1400 gold coins we have in stock, as well as the gunpowder, steel, copper, silver, leather and other almost All the supplies are gone?"

From her point of view, this father, who is not in charge of the family and does not know Chai Migui, seems to have no idea what those money and supplies represent.

Once a war breaks out, all materials are useful, and some are used less.In this case, it is worthwhile and necessary to reserve more goods, no matter from which direction you look at it.

The earl added with some embarrassment: "Almost, there may be more than 300 workers."

Alice sighed weakly: "You are really generous."

"Are you interested in taking a look at the new weapons?" The earl changed the topic a little embarrassedly.

"Then let's take a look and see what moved you, my lord father, to make you willing to spend such a large amount of money." Alice looked towards the shooting range and saw a row of people standing there. Soldiers waiting for a new round of orders.

"Training continues, let my guards demonstrate continuous shooting!" Earl Fischero gave the order with some pain.

The number of cardboard fixed-load ammunition transported from Bunas is not too much. Following the return of the convoy that the Lord Earl transported supplies last time, it brought back 500 rounds of ammunition that Tang Mo had concocted.

These bullets are for training, and the charge is reduced by one-third, so the power is naturally very small!But they are not useless: on the one hand, because of the small charge and low chamber pressure, these bullets wear less on the barrel when fired, and on the other hand, they are cheaper, allowing the Earl to spend less money to buy them. More bullets.

After receiving the order, the officer nodded slightly, walked to the soldiers who were cleaning the barrels on the shooting range, and ordered loudly: "Ready for continuous shooting!"
