Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 330: accidents and new equipment

Chapter 330 Accidents and New Equipment

Charade hurriedly entered the study room of Lorist with a folder.

"What's wrong?" Lorist looked up and asked.

Charade shook his head with a bitter smile: "A rock Legion had an accident while practicing the boarding and disembarking of landing, overturned a punt, and twenty-five families, soldier(s), fell into the water, saving only seven people."

As the main rock of the offensive Madras Dukedom Sidol Province, Legion, already moved to Blade Edge Mountain Range, which is the white rocky beach in the middle of the underpass that was previously smuggled by North Wild Town Four Great Families, where a temporary camp was set up. From there, board the boat to reach the Silver beach of Sidol Province. It takes only five or six hours. It is now two months before the combat time stipulated by Lorist. Panshi Legion is using the Legion at sea to assist several of its sea-going ships in the landing exercise. It was not expected that such an accident would occur.

"What happened?"

"Potterfang Knight(s) reports that the punt used as landing was originally a lifeboat on the sea, used by sailors and crews to escape. However, the family soldier(s) of the Rock Legion has difficulty in mastering the balance of this boat. It is easy to capsize. In addition, all soldier(s) are full armed forces, the weight is very heavy, once the water falls, it will sink to the end, even if the driftwood rescue board is useless. Now Panshi Legion has submitted a request to improve the landing punt and sea life Device "

Charade opens the folder in his hand, takes out a piece of kraft paper and hands it to Lorist.

Lorist stood up, his face heavy. I negligently planned the landing operation but did not make preparations for the landing operation. Like a lifeboat on a sea boat, it is flat-bottomed and has poor resistance to wind and waves, and the big waves will overturn. If the sailor and the crew have nothing to do with each other, they can all swim. The sailing battalion also has this lifeboat project, and nothing has ever happened, because it can be turned over even if it is overturned.

But now it is landing battle. Most of the soldier(s) family of Panshi Legion are not watery. Wearing standard equipment on their bodies, plus weapons or something, the ship turns like a big iron block. Eighteen family soldier(s)s are gone. Thinking of Lorist would be very remorseful. And the driftwood life board is a piece of balsa wood that can float on the water, like a pillow. Usually someone throws him into the water and throws himself in the water to wait for rescue. But this family soldier(s) will sink to the bottom of the sea, and it will be too late to catch the driftwood rescue board!

Lorist picked up a quill pen and drew a pattern of life jackets and life buoys on a blank piece of paper: "This drawing was sent to the Ironforge production base, and Camora was ordered to rush out. A life jacket is a piece of driftwood stuffed into a waistcoat, and this lifebuoy is made of a circle of driftwood and placed around a person's waist so that it will not sink. "

With a life jacket and life buoy, you do n’t need to worry about falling into the water anymore. But what about this landing ship? If a wing plate is added to the sea under the boat, it can really make the boat difficult to capsize. However, landing has become a problem again. Punts can rush to the beach at one go. If there is an extra wing under the boat, it will not be able to approach the beach. The landing time is set at the end of December. At that time, the family soldier(s) wading ashore is simply life-threatening. No one can stand the temperature of that seawater.

Yes, you can't add wings under the ship. You can add flat plates on both sides of the ship. Increasing the force-bearing area of ​​the ship on the sea surface can also make the ship difficult to capsize. There was a flash of light in Lorist's brain. First draw a picture of a flat-bottom landing boat on paper, and then draw a stick across the boat, two large flat plates on the two ends of the stick are pressed on the sea, a boat has three each with large ends The gap between the slab sticks does not affect the paddle making on the boat.

"Okay, that's it. The three balance bars are active and do not affect the transportation of the landing boat. Put the boat in the sea, install the three balance bars, and then board the soldier(s), so that it is not easy to capsize. .You send someone to send this drawing to the Bullhorn Bay shipyard, first make a few to Potterfang for him to test, and also send a few craftsmen in the past, you can change it if there is a need to improve the site. "Lorist will send the drawing to Charade Say.

Charade nodded and took out a file from the folder: "Lord(s), this is the report of the Cavalry Legion. Knight Joske and Yuri Knight(s) At present, already has selected more than 28,000 good at each Legion and resident defense team The soldier(s) and already on horseback formed the 15,000th Cavalry Regiment, divided into five battalions, each with 3,000 men, divided into four combat battalions, a Chariot Ballista corps and a major logistics team, 5,000 horses, Ballista Chariot Hundreds, one hundred four-wheeled freight carts. The Second Cavalry Regiment is under construction and is currently recruiting soldier(s) in the family Territory. "

"Eh?" Lorist wonders: "Why should the Cavalry Regiment be equipped with Chariot Ballista? They are responsible for flexible and fast mobile guerrillas. Are they not slowed down by being equipped with Chariot Ballista?"

Charade looked at the file: "Lord(s), Knight Joske said that this is to protect the logistical importance of the Cavalry Regiment, and to avoid being attacked by the enemy when they attack their own food, forage and horses. When people have n’t eaten, you can think of it The method is okay, but if so many horses are out of horses, the Cavalry Regiment will be complete. "

Lorist nodded for a while: "Okay, since Joske and Yuri are the two responsible for the formation of the Cavalry Legion, then I trust their judgment. The Ballista Chariot they need can order the director of Camora to pay them. "

"One more thing, Joske and Yuri jointly signed a request, which was handed in yesterday, asking us to determine the long-range weapons and standard equipment used by Hunting Cavalry Legion in order to form the first Cavalry Regiment as soon as possible. Fighting power. They think that the current family soldier(s) standard armed forces is not suitable for hunters, and they hope that the family can provide lighter, stronger and durable standard armor.

"I know this. Without them, they will come here with samples this afternoon Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin. You also come to see this afternoon, I already ordered Els to send Imperial Guard to Joe and Yuri and let them Come here, too. "Lorist said," Is there anything else? "

Charade picked up another document: "Lord(s), this is the official report submitted by the Speer director. In the past two years, our family has spent a lot of money. Last year, we reorganized twenty guard camps and spent nearly three million. gold fordes, and the relocation of the liberated slaves to Northern Land and the development of Taigawara in the west of Northern Land, with a budget of nearly one million. In addition to some additional expenditures, our family overspend nearly five million gold fordes last year alone.

Although this year ’s arms transaction with Fisablen Family is estimated to earn 5 million, you have allocated 1 million research and development funds for Grandmaster Sid and gunpowder laboratory, and 2 million gold fordes for maritime Legion procurement warships, and some others. The gifts of daily necessities, the purchase of armaments, pensions and rewards have almost reached one million, almost all of the profits of the arms transaction with Fisablen Family have been spent.

Now we are going to set up a new Hunting Cavalry Legion, which is estimated to cost no less than three million. In addition, the war budget you plan to launch against Madras Dukedom is not less than one million. You also need to help the Kenmays Family and Shaheen families. The cost of Territory replacement is also the cost of one million gold fordes. In addition, there are some messy expenditures such as support for Dawn Academy's start-up in Northern Land, and it is expected that this year will exceed another 6 million.

So the director of Speer specially issued this document to remind us not to be arrogant. Even if we perish Hanayabarta kingdom and seize the huge savings of 27 million gold fordes in this slave kingdom for decades, but Lord(s), if you spend money like this, the family will run out of money in two or three years.

Lorist smiled in disapproval: "The Speer manager is like this, and you ca n’t wait for the vault to be filled with gold coin(s). In fact, you also know that it is impossible to produce a small gold coin(s) in the gold coin(s) existence vault, and there is a great possibility that it will devalue. Maybe a cow needs five gold fordes to buy now, and it will take seven or eight in a few years. Only by letting gold coin(s) enter the market can I earn more gold coin(s) in the future. Now I do n’t spend much. On behalf of me, I'm spending money indiscriminately. This is all investing to lay the foundation for the future of the family. "

Charade said with a wry smile: "Lord(s), this is 27 million gold fordes. What you said makes sense, but even if you invest, I doubt that your grandson's grandson's generation can't take it from the family Territory. This money will be recovered. If everyone does not set up a new Legion for new development and does not start a war, in fact, the income and expenditure of our family over the past two years have been very good. If you save a little, there may be more than 100,000 pure Revenue.

Furthermore, Lord(s), the family implements the policy of hiding happiness for the people. At present, already developed Fengleyuan, Xing'anyuan, Hongheyuan, and Beihai City. The tax families in these four places only charge 100%. Forty, the local guards charge 30% at their homes, and the family members of the serving soldier(s) and the family members of administrative officials charge 20%. The family Knight(s) charges 10%. Although these taxes offset the cost of administrative expenses and still have some surplus, they did not help the huge military expenditure of the family armed forces.

At present, the family armed forces military expenditure mainly depends on the sale and purchase of various workshops run by the family, thanks to the dumping of Fisablen Family Territory and Iberia Kingdom by the large amount of snow salt and daily necessities purchased by our family from Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. But as you said, once Fisablen Family opened the commercial route to Central Dukedom, it will obviously reduce the reliance on Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce material procurement and supply. By then, I am afraid that the huge military expenditure of the family armed forces will become a burden.

The directors of Lord(s) and Speer made a proposal to increase all the taxes in the family Territory by 10%, and increase the family ’s share of 30% in those privately run workshops and stores to Fifty percent, the tax of those small shops such as snack bars and small grocery stores that originally only charged 10% is increased to 30%. Compared with other Territory Aristocrat(s) 60% to 70% tax, even if we raise it, we are still very kind to sensitive people. And in this way, we will earn more than 300,000 gold fordes each year, almost half of the military expenditure of the family armed forces. "

Lorist shook his head: "Raising the tax rate is the dumbest idea. There are ways to take gold coin(s) out of the pockets of civilians. Put this official report of the Speer director here and I will take the time to write a reply to him. .I am grateful for his contribution to the family ’s expenses, but I ca n’t take his advice, because it will lose the trust and loyalty of these civilians in our family Territory.

"Well then, let's go out and let people do the Lord(s) account. See you in the afternoon." Charade turned and went out.

Anna Dilly, who was accompanied by a big belly at noon, had lunch. She was pregnant for already for six months. She had a big belly. The Potion Master who came to check said that it was likely to be twins and needed more nutrition, so now the young aunt of the Dina family is whole. It became extremely plump like a blow, almost twice as big as before, and in addition to changing his body shape, he was very snooze. He just yawned after taking lunch and took a nap.

As for Dina Miss, she was promoted to Silver Rank because of her successful promotion. She happily took her younger sister Dina2Young Lady and went to Nicole College to visit her younger brother, and was preparing to hold a ceremony there to make herself a female Knight(s) of the Dina family and Acting for the owner, waiting for her younger brother to turn over to the owner after he was 18 years old. It will probably take a while before returning to Boulder Castle.

Lorist also took a nap, got up and went to the study. After more than an hour, Schwartz came in Reported, Grandmaster Sid and carriage already of Grandmaster Fellin arrived. In addition, Knight Joske and Yuri Knight(s) were waiting in the meeting room downstairs for a long time.

"Let them go to the conference room on the third floor, where there is a large square connected to Houshan. If Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin brought long-range crossbow weapons, they can just exercise there and see Joske Not satisfied with Yuri. In addition, you also called Charade Knight(s) to check it together. "Lorist said.

"Yes, Lord(s)."

Everyone gathered in the third-floor reception room of Central Castle. This time, Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin brought three large boxes. The first large box contained a set of steel chain mail, and the Norton Family is now equipped. The standard armor style is completely different. This set of steel chain mail helmet is bucket-style, like a round pointed shield.

Grandmaster Sid explained: "Lord(s), what you said of the cavalry is light and sturdy. I asked many families who had scouted light riding soldier(s), and they adopted the suggestions before designing this set of cavalry standard equipment. Since the newly formed hunters of our family are Fisablen Family rangers as imaginary enemies, and the rangers standard equipment are also produced by our family, the standard equipment of this set of hunters is also improved according to the characteristics of rangers, and is better than sold to Fisablen Family The 103 Cavalry standard equipment is lighter, more agile, stronger and more defensive.

The main offensive methods of hunters and rangers are medium and long-range attacks. Rangers often dismount from a distance of 100 meters from the enemy, use a long bow to launch three consecutive shots, and then go away. This is the main means of harassment. The stone crossbow is used, and the effective range is within 50 meters. The closer point is the shotgun and flying axe. Therefore, the main defense for the cavalry is the long-range attacks of the rangers, not the sprint fighting like our family of lancers.

The strongest defense against long-range attacks is chain mail. We use steel wire to make this set of samples. Its defense against long-range attacks is stronger than plate armor, especially this bucket-type helmet, as long as it goes down. Then the longbow projectile is useless, and it can also be used as a self-defense shield when fighting close-up. As for this set of steel chain mail, there is also a set of black Devil Bull leather armor outside, which not only increases the defense force, but also keeps warm and windproof, and serves as a cover.

In addition, we also designed a front inlaid wire vest for war horses to protect the key points of the front of mount. The weight of the entire standard equipment plus vest is one-fifth lighter than the Fisablen Family's 103 cavalry standard equipment, ensuring that the load and durability of the mount can be maximized. In addition, we have also standardized the saddle stirrups and other accessories on the horse, which are more durable, lighter and more durable than the old-style saddle stirrups you use now.

"Very good." Lorist nodded and applauded: "Thank you for your efforts, Grandmaster Sid, Grandmaster Fellin. I am very satisfied with this hunter standard equipment. You are very thoughtful, but can your production capacity keep up?"

Grandmaster Sid is very happy to receive praise from Lorist: "Of course, Lord(s), now this kind of steel wire is drawn using hydraulic machinery. I have redesigned and made a set of machinery and equipment, which can easily break this wire again. Buckle into a loop. In addition to weaving manpower, nothing else is troublesome. I estimate that a thousand people can produce a thousand sets a day. "

"Okay, that hunter has adopted this set of standard equipment. I will instruct the director of Camora to arrange manpower to complete the Legion as soon as possible. But Grandmaster Sid, what is the design of the hunter's long-range weapon? I hope that the Cavalry has a long-range weapon that can beat the Rangers, so that they can increase their grasp of the Rangers. "Lorist asked.

"Oh, Lord(s), please come and enjoy the masterpiece that I and Grandmaster Fellin worked hard to design and complete." Grandmaster Sid opened the second large box, and Grandmaster Fellin took out a weird crossbow.

"Lord(s), this is the cross Ballista, the new remote weapon!"

To be continued.
