Chapter 214 The Artillery Family Of The Prouker Empire, His Hole Cards Are Even More Terrifying 【1/5
"Cannon!? But, why are there so many different models?!"
As a weapon of war recognized by the whole world today, the artillery invented by the Prouker Empire can definitely be said to have attracted much attention, and Lawrence is also quite familiar with the first generation of front-mounted smoothbore field guns that the Prouker Empire is now trading abroad.
After all, it was through the reverse deduction of the Prouker artillery that the Confederate States produced the bulky and majestic cannons of the Confederate States today.
However, he dared to swear that he had never seen the Prouker Empire and other artillery before this.
Each of the four carriages was pulled by four strong draft horses.
At this moment, they are driving neatly from the side of King Street.
The long steel barrel at the back made Lawrence and the others shrink their pupils.
Compared with the first-generation Prouker artillery, these artillery pieces in front of them hardly show any traces of the previous generation, except that they are still arranged with two gun wheels for easy transportation.
Not to mention anything else, behind the barrels of these artillery itself is very different from today's Prouker artillery.
Unlike the seamless barrel of the previous generation of front-loading smoothbore artillery, the new artillery produced by the Prouker Empire this time seems to have a special mechanical structure behind the barrel.
Lawrence's hand holding the binoculars trembled at this moment.
He is not a professional artillery expert, but now the entire Saint West Continent basically knows a theory.
The larger the caliber, the greater the power of the artillery and the farther the range.
The barrels of the artillery of the Confederate States are very thick, but the actual reason is that the walls of the barrels of the artillery itself are too thick, and the actual caliber is only fifty or sixty millimeters.
The size and weight of heavy artillery, but only the power of light artillery.
Really embarrassing.
However, through the telescope, Lawrence could clearly see that the artillery brought out by the Prouker Empire was larger in caliber than the majestic cannons of the Confederate States.
"Are these the artillery? Why is it obviously different from the artillery we saw in the military?"
Beside Patrick, Miumlin showed a look of astonishment.
During their one-month visit, they were naturally taken to the military training ground of the Prouker Empire. Not only did they see it, but they also personally tested a cannon under the guidance of several Prouker officers.
While the power of the artillery is still fresh in his memory, he also remembers the appearance of the first-generation artillery of the Prouker Empire quite clearly.
However, the artillery they see today is obviously different from the previous artillery.
The passionate music was still playing, and the carriages dragging cannons appeared in front of everyone at the corner of King Street.
A row of four cannons.
In terms of style, they are all army artillery with gun wheels that can be dragged and transported by horse-drawn carts, but there are obvious differences in caliber.
First of all, the artillery that appeared in the first row, everyone thought, compared with the first-generation field artillery, it was already considered a large caliber, reaching a terrifying 75 mm.
However, when rows of artillery appeared behind them, everyone saw them.
Even Sofia and Hector beside Ulysses were not calm anymore.
"These big guys, you haven't told me before, I always thought that you just made adjustments and improvements on the front and rear.
So Fia tilted her head slightly in surprise, and asked in a low voice.
Hector on the side also nodded again and again. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he took a deep breath.
"Hiss, my God, is this also a cannon?!"
Sofia turned her head and saw the end of King Street.
Two big guys side by side, dragged by eight strong draft horses, slowly appeared in front of everyone.
It is said to be big, in fact, mainly because, compared with other cannons, this guy is obviously much longer, reaching the level of nearly six meters.
Ulysses smiled slightly.
"Hehe, the artillery industry of our Prouker Empire is relatively mature now. For example, the three types of army artillery in front of us are not all of our models. There are also some small-caliber artillery that can be equipped to the squad and can be used by one or two people. Rapid-fire gun."
"These artillery pieces are mainly used in large-scale wars and siege warfare."
So Fia looked solemn, and stretched out a jade finger, pointing to the nearly six-meter-long cannon at the rear of the team.
"Is that big guy your biggest artillery now?"
Ulysses nodded.
"The Skoda 149mm howitzer is very light in itself, but it has the power of a heavy infantry. It is a cannon used to provide heavy fire support in the middle and near range."
So Fia hurriedly asked: "Medium and short-range artillery? How far is it?"
Ulysses turned his head sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"The maximum range is almost nine kilometers, and four rounds can be fired in one minute."
So Fia, Hector: "!!!"
After Suo Fia and the others heard some information about artillery from Ulysses, their hearts were completely overwhelmed.
The short-to-medium distance has actually reached nine kilometers. It is hard for them to imagine what long-distance is here in Ulysses.
You know, the Prouker field gun sold to them by the Prouker Empire now has a caliber of 60 mm and a maximum range of just over one kilometer.
Compared to Suo and Fia who knew more, they were even more shocked.
The envoys from various countries in the Eastern Continent can only estimate the data of some new types of artillery in their hearts, and their reactions are not too big.
As for those citizens of the Prouker Empire who watched the military parade, they couldn't even get the big steel guys in front of them at this moment.
What they paid more attention to was the parade squares passing by neatly arranged one by one.
After the phalanx of the military medical team, the public security official phalanx, and the newly established phalanx of the Communications Corps, etc., the military parade is basically over.
Ulysses walked to the microphone, and everyone at the scene looked at him solemnly and adoringly.
""The great Prouker empire has been established for four years. We hold high the banner of freedom and hard work, and carry out an unquestionable struggle for the cause of oppression all over the world..
Ulysses is doing routine speech work here, and the envoys from various countries in the Holy East Continent can't understand the Prouker language that Ulysses speaks because the translator is not around.
At this moment, some people began to gather together and communicate in low voices.
Miu Mulin came to the ambassador of the Kiljaron kingdom, Conkinal, with a smile on her face. (by Qian Li) "Ambassador Conginal, I don't know what level of assistance your country has received from the Prouker Empire in terms of military industry. You also know that we have nothing clear about the next negotiations. The goal."
"At that time, there may be some jokes..."
Conguinal glanced at Mumline who spoke politely, but did not act so arrogantly.
"Ambassador Alexander, I guess you want to pay attention to these artillery pieces? If so, forget it, although these artillery pieces are not the most dangerous thing in the Prouker Empire
But it is absolutely impossible to take it out and sell it to us. "
Miaomlin wondered.
"Does the Prouker Empire have weapons more terrifying than those cannons?"
Conguinal sighed, with a deep fear in his eyes.
"The most dangerous thing is that the Prouker Empire has yet to show its cards."
Thank you for the 2000 tip from the big brother Xingchen, thank you, and wish you a happy National Day holiday. .
