Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 207 Empire Threat Theory

Of course, the muskets used by the musket battalion are not made by Owen. He is an expert at rubbing bolt guns, but he can’t stand such inferior works. In fact, this is a civilian musket made by the arsenal in the center of a fourth-level town, and it is also used by regular musketeers. The standard muskets used by the elite and the fine muskets used by the elite, and even artillery.

But no matter what kind of firearm, its power is limited, even artillery.

But when the bolt gun cannot be mass-produced, Owen can only choose to use these primitive firearms.

Of course, Owen is not incapable of making weapons during World War I and World War II. After all, the things used by the goblin mechanical corps are not low-tech, but he has to face too many problems if he really wants to do so.

Firearms can still be polished by hand with ghosts on a simple production line, but not bullets. It is difficult to build a bullet production line in a short period of time, and the propellant is also unqualified.

The propellant powder currently used is made of powdered magic horn tree blocks. Although this high-efficiency fuel can also burn violently instead of propellant powder, it inevitably contains impurities. The musket is not sensitive to this, and can shoot ten Dozens of guns.

Higher-precision firearms will not work. If the rate of fire is fast, I am afraid that a magazine will explode before it is finished.

These problems can be solved, at most, how much time will it take, the biggest problem is the empire.

The empire is not that simple. Owen will get a lot of benefits if he wins a relic. If you say that the empire doesn't have many relics in its hands, he won't believe it.

Even without these, the legendary mages supported by the empire are not vegetarians. All of them are as destructive as strategic bombers. It's really annoying, and they can raze his territory to the ground in minutes.

Therefore, muskets can be used, but they must not cause too much threat, at least not considered a threat by the empire.

Worrying about this and that all day long, Owen is also annoyed. It's not that he hasn't considered the possibility of violent flat pushing. The empire is so big that he squats next to the bed, and he can't sleep well.

But even if he upgrades the town center to level five, the population limit will only reach [-]. Even if he ignores production logistics and other issues, he will convert half of them into soldiers, equip them with guns and artillery, and train a group of elites to use weapons and tanks from World War II. , Aces, Ultramarines and Witches are still not enough. At most, they can hit the frontier army of the empire, but they can't hurt the foundation of the empire at all.

Because judging from the information collected on weekdays, the population of the empire is around 5000 million to [-] million, or even more, so even if he wiped out hundreds of thousands of imperial frontier troops, so what.

What's more, the empire's frontier army is not made of mud, and there are countless high-walled and powerful passes, which are so easy to fight.

What's more, he can't afford it at all. How many people are there in the whole Northland, and what proportion of the population are adult males suitable for training as soldiers?
When it gets bigger, seventy to eighty thousand is as high as the sky, and the empire can consume him to death just by fighting for consumption.

In addition, he has guns and cannons, and the empire also has extraordinary, established fighting spirit knights, royal wizards, and legends. I really want to destroy him, and the time wasted on the road will not take a meal.

This is not counting those religions that worship gods, otherwise they will die faster.

In this situation, Owen couldn't handle it even if he cheated, so he didn't dare to make waves, and he had to be cautious in everything he did. Even if he wanted to use a firearm, he would try it a little bit, for fear of touching the sensitive nerve of the empire.

I really want to let go of the waves. Owen summed it up. He must have a population of at least 100 million, a regular army of 20, a reserve army of [-], double-digit legends, a powerful religion and a true god. Only then will the empire fear and dare not go to war easily.

Therefore, there is a long way to go, and Owen still needs to work hard.

While Owen was busy preparing for the future, a group of restless guys were busy training in the newly built Musket Battalion.

Howard cracked his whip, even if a group of thorns refused to accept it, they could only bear it, because they tried, but they couldn't beat them, so in order to avoid suffering from flesh and blood, it is better to be obedient.

"Hello, I'm Charlie, a third-class knight." As a manager, Charlie didn't need to carry a musket and roll around. At this time, he took the initiative to say hello to the tall and strong knight next to him.

"Munch, a second-level knight." Munch is bald and has no brows, a lion's nose and a tiger's mouth. He looks ugly, but exudes a strong masculine charm, especially his strong body that can even support the plate armor. Doubt about his parentage.

Although Monk is a bit taciturn, Charlie can speak well. In addition, the two will work together for a long time in the future, and both intend to make friends, so they will get acquainted soon.

Monk was born as a knight, but although his strength is not bad, his appearance is ugly, which made him not liked by the nobles, and even became the object of ridicule. In the end, he was kicked out of the house because of a trivial matter, which was a great shame for the knight.

As a knight, Monk, who couldn't kill that bastard nobleman, stayed there without any face, so he simply came to the Northland and joined the army. As long as he can make enough contributions, he can become a real canonized knight. And that's what he dreamed of.

It's a pity that although his strength is good, he is not enough in other aspects, so he is only rated as a second-level knight and cannot lead the army.

Although Charlie is average in strength, he may be eloquent and careful, and he is suitable for presiding over the army. In addition, his temporary status is supreme, so Monk consciously put himself in the position of deputy.

After realizing this, Charlie secretly heaved a sigh of relief, at least he doesn't need to put too much energy on intrigue in the future.

The two didn't have too much free time. After Howard handed over the training to his son, he began to teach them lessons.

In fact, Howard also drove ducks to the shelves. It is not that he has never touched firearms. Thanks to the fact that he did all kinds of hard work when he was in the frontier army of the Empire, he also brought cannon fodder for third-line firearms. The problem is that he doesn't like those who can only Shooting guns to scare people's miscellaneous soldiers, so understanding is limited.

After getting some information from the lord, he studied hard all night, but he didn't know what it was, but he couldn't show a guilty conscience, so he could only bite the bullet and say what was written in the book.

"You want to go to the military village." Maya put aside her busy work and took some time to meet a girl today, intending to relax, but she didn't expect the other party to give herself a surprising answer.

Although the blond girl in front of her is not very old, she has a tall and well-proportioned figure, which shows the vitality of young people. Maya, who is already in her 40s, can't help but sigh that she is old.

Of course, it’s just a sigh. After obtaining the inhuman blood, Maya’s lifespan may be measured in a hundred years. She will still be like this in 50 years.

After regaining her senses, Maya lowered her head and thought, because the other party is not an ordinary citizen and can be dismissed at will.

The girl's name is Keira, and she is the eldest daughter of Baron Currence. She just came of age this year. Since she was a child, she didn't like red makeup and armed forces. She trained hard on swordsmanship and wanted to be a knight loyal to the lord.

It's a pity that her father refused to let her go, and wanted to send her to the lord's castle as a maid.

Now that her father was in Mara, and she was an adult again, her heart began to stir, and she ran to the center of town to offer herself.
