Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"What news do our Albian friends have recently?"

Charlemagne began to prepare for the army, and even if Albian was temporarily caught in the internal affairs, he would not remain silent for too long.

As an island country, it still has the kind of major overseas interests. Any opponent trying to build a powerful sea and air force that catches up and even surpasses the Albion Royal Fleet will cause them to be alert, especially if it is done by the old rival Charlemagne, the sense of crisis will rise to the level of life and death.

In the state of being powerless and unwilling to fire the first shot of a full-scale war, the response to Charlemagne’s expansion of naval construction was to ensure sufficient maritime deterrence. The specific approach was a naval arms race.

As a maritime power, Albion’s shipbuilding capabilities, excellent sailors, naval officers, etc. are all above the software and hardware facilities of the Charlieman Navy, which has only recently had a sense of existence. If the two sides are determined to build a ship, the final winner will be Albion. However, as Prime Minister Richelieu had calculated, the multi-deck artillery battleship equipped with artillery was launched, and the Charlieman Fleet, which had the overwhelming technical equipment advantage, could take a very good and powerful Albion in just a few minutes. The Wang Family Fleet and Admiral Drake sent to the seabed. Then, he went up the river Thames, landed in Lundinum, and burned...

This is by no means a delusion of persecution, because the Albian people are well aware that if they have the chance to score Rudes, they will do the same thing.

To avoid a nightmare from becoming a reality, Albion must seek a way to break this situation.

The extremely clever Walsingham Secretary of State Secretary quickly found his old friend Li Lin, hoping that v.e would provide technical output and an unimaginable price that would come out of his stingy mischief.

"100,000 guineas, our old friend has finally gotten a little more lenient recently."

"100,000?"

Li Lin's mouth twitched, and a sneer-like expression climbed onto his cheek.

"It seems that the Secretary of State is really clean."

The 100,000 guineas coins are a huge sum of money for the small people, but for Li Lin, it is just a small amount of money that is too shabby to stop the teeth.

In the list of quotations given to Prime Minister Richelieu, the manufacturing cost of a front-mounted smoothbore gun is about 2,500 guineas. Even if it is not profitable to sell at a cost price, 100,000 guineas can only buy 40 artillery pieces, and even a battleship of 68 crowns is not full. Considering that Albion is willing to put every copper plate into the spirit of the arms race, the arms race is fierce, the wear and tear is usually replaced, and the demand in wartime is increased... In the end, the number of artillery and related profits that Albion needs will be an astronomical number.

The huge profits and 100,000 guineas are obviously not equal.

Li Lin is not Yuri Olof, who is second-hand "Angel King" in Lebanon - shy of those. Customers eager to get arms said enthusiastically: "My guns are sold on kilograms. Although they are second-hand goods, they are still very useful. How many kilograms do you want?"

The other party is a big country with good financial status. Since they have money and need good weapons, they should accept v.e's reasonable offer. Instead of holding the purse, wait for the Charlemagne fleet to help them make a decision.

In fact, the latter situation is better, so that Li Lin can raise the price a little higher, and Albion will still accept it.

"The message to Secretary Walsingham, we are not demanding. The artillery manufacturing technology is our company’s patented technology, so we refuse to buy it out. But we can sell the production license. Your country can buy it at a symbolic price of 1 Guinea. After that Within 10 years, every time the Albion government and the army made an artillery, they needed to pay ve company a license fee of 50 guineas."

"They won't like this idea."

Brenhill shrugged and smiled sympathetically.

Albion has about 60 large ships in active service and about 120 small and medium ships. Transforming these warships to carry artillery is cheaper than the new warships, and can also form combat power faster. It is conservatively estimated that large ships carry 20 guns and small ships carry 10 guns. This requires at least 2400 artillery. If Li Lin's request is implemented, he will need to pay him 120,000 guineas! I made an extra 20,000!

This is only a part of conservative calculation of the enhancement of the old ships. After Charlieman launched the super battleship with hundreds of artillery ships, Albion must also return the color. One 100 gun can bring Li Lin 50,000 guineas income, plus the implementation of this clause has a span of ten years, no one knows how many cannons are needed in ten years, but everyone knows that Li Lin only Just need to count the gold coins happily...

Profiteers.

The Charlemagne said so. The Albian people say the same. For this shrewd Jewish style, Brunn Hill could only respond with a wry smile.

"Of course, outside of business, I also value friendship. So. I still decided to provide some technical support for free."

Li Lin took a drawing from the file bag, took the piece of paper, and looked at the precise three views. After that, Brenhill raised his head in doubt:

"Universal pole striking lightning boat... "Go back to heaven"?"

"Actually, I also want to add words such as "decisive battle", "special attack", "decisive assault", but I am afraid to scare Albian friends, and eventually call it a general-purpose strut lightning strike boat-"back to the sky" ."

"No, wait a moment to discuss the name issue. Are you sure that the Albion people would want this kind of thing?"

Shocked by Brunn Hill's face, Li Lin can always create miracles, but this time is too much?

How can we persuade the Albion people to build and put into use a gun without artillery, no bows and arrows, and a small number of carrying personnel, but a long wooden pole is installed on the bow, and the explosive is hung from the front of the wooden pole ——No matter how you look at it, it's a small boat used for suicide

"Well... this is only a temporary emergency product, whether it is used depends on the Albian people. Moreover, this boat looks nothing special, but the bottom of the boat is set up to interfere with the flow of the water's sea **** ~www.readwn.com~ Can be assaulted quickly under the control of the crew. Once hit, even a large warship will sink heavily. Finally, the operation of this ship is very simple, a large number of boat operators can be trained in a month, which is simpler than the training of riflemen. More~"

In other words, there is a large amount of cannon fodder that can be quickly put into use, and even if it is consumed, it will not be too concerned. Anyway, it will be replaced soon.

It is foreseeable that this torpedo equivalent to the manipulation of the human brain will have a significant revolutionary impact on the battlefield. Once the nobles and officers of Albion discover their tactical value, they will certainly accept it and throw it into the battlefield. As for the fate of the soldiers who manipulated such suicide weapons...Compared with the victory of war and the honors and benefits obtained by the masters, what is the life and death of several people?

"This is really..."

Brun Hill only smiled bitterly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qn) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile users, please go to m.qn to read.)
