Release that Witch Chapter 1207: New ideas
Greycastle, Neverwinter City.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation of the stronghold guns, when the Firearm Battalion team went to Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter to implement the Your Majesty's population migration plan, the artillery battalion was rare to relax. In addition to daily training and helping with the autumn harvest, non-attendant teams can return home and spend this precious leisure time with their families.
Van'er is no exception. Now that he is a camp commander, it is difficult for him to apply for a vacation, and he will naturally cherish such opportunities. In addition to spending time with family and visiting neighbors, gathering with old friends is also an essential activity. After all, drinking is not allowed in the army, and you can only have a drink without having to wait until your vacation.
After years of development, the commercial prosperity of Neverwinter City has already surpassed the old Kingdom Capital. The commercial street plan advocated by Your Majesty at the beginning, that is, any house facing the street has been built in the form of shops on the upper and lower floors for rent. Now it's hot. Foreign merchants have settled in, either selling specialty goods shipped from all over the country, or converting them into hotels, restaurants, and wine shops. If the convenience market provides necessities of life, then these shops are a supplement to enriching life.
Walking on the streets where people go, Van'er can't help but feel a little Your Majesty's foresight. Even if there are crowds of people around, the roads in the city are not congested. Vendors will not pile up the streets. Everyone shuttles in the dedicated walkway paved with stone slab. On the other hand, the carriage ran along the black road, and everything seemed to be in order.
He remembers that when the construction team first laid the roads and lines, many people did n’t understand why it was necessary to build the street so wide, especially the separation of people and carriages was unnecessary and unnecessary. Now it seems that the plan is just right, it's almost as if Your Majesty had foreseen this scene in advance.
Crossing the two main roads, the "Lucky Cannonball" tavern appeared in front of Van'er, which is also the destination of his trip.
Into the store, someone limped out immediately after the bar counter, "Master, you are here!"
"Sir, that's how it's called in the military. You're no longer in First Army. Just call me Van'er." He hugged the man with a smile and patted the other's back vigorously. "Recent business How, should it be okay? "
Compared with the opponent ’s name, the Iron Crutch nickname made the Van'er impression deeper than half a year ago. In the fierce battle of T1 at night, in order to recapture the cannon position occupied by Devil, the Iron Crutch team still serving in the artillery battalion led the charge to the enemy. The firing spear penetrated from the abdomen to the leg, and lost consciousness on the spot. Although he was saved by Miss Angel afterwards, but due to too many missing parts, he eventually failed to fully recover. The entire right leg had to be temporarily replaced by a bar of iron. The nickname of Iron Crutch also passed down.
The retired Iron Crutch received a subsidy, plus the accumulated salary, opened this "lucky cannonball" tavern in eastern district, which is also a common place for First Army vacations.
"There is a rent reduction during the injury period, enough to support the family." Iron Crutch rubbed hands, "Of course if you can come and visit a few times better.
Van'er's heart is filled with relief, "That will wait for me to quit, or become you like this. By the way, are they all here at Rhone brothers?"
"It's all upstairs, let me take you there."
"No, no, no, you ’re busy first, wait for the guests to come down and have a drink with you."
"Okay, that's it," Iron Crutch replied lightly.
Van'er walked upstairs and saw the old man sitting around a round table at a glance. Jop, Cat's Claw, Rodney, Nelson ... When Artillery Battalion was first established, they were in the same gun group. They were just a group of hairy guys. They would be trembling when they saw the Knight charge. Now, they have basically become the core backbone of the artillery battalion, each with its own subordinates. If it is not for such a special holiday, I am afraid it will be difficult to gather together like before.
Afterwards, there are happy moments in which the cups and cups are staggered. A group of people toast and drink everything, but the most talked about is the War of Divine Will that the army itself and the future will face.
After all, according to Your Majesty's, the scale of this war is unprecedented, and the entire continent will be involved. After the war, how many people can sit and drink together is really unknown.
"In fact, we are already lucky, at least we don't have to deal with the monsters directly," Rodney took a sip of wheat toast in the toast, released a long breath, "If the cannon positions are lost, it is basically a complete defeat. /
"The question is who knows what new tricks Devil has ... Isn't T1 station caught by surprise?" Cat's Claw shrugged. "I only hope that by then, the soldiers will have the ability to fight back. Instead of the guys who can only wait for the Firearm Battalion and Special Tactical Squad to rescue. "
These words resonated with everyone, "Yes, if we also have a strong burst of weapon, revolving rifle is okay with Knight. It is not enough to suppress Devil."
"Save it, I heard that the army has a plan to completely change bolt action rifle. Soon you will not even see revolver."
"No, battalion commander, is this true?"
Seeing everyone looking to themselves, Van'er nodded and said, "In fact, the first and sixth classes have replaced the new weapon, but it is just a matter of time that other classes need to be completed."
Jop frowned. "I have tried new guns. The accuracy and power are good, but the speed of one shot is not suitable for melee weapon. Can't the artillery battalion continue to use the original weapon? ? "
"I'm afraid not. This is the decision above." Van'er pointed to the top of his head. "revolver uses old-fashioned black gunpowder, and the bullets are almost the same. It will be more cost-effective to save these workers to make new bullets."
"So ... let Iron Axe adults talk to Your Majesty, how about designing a new weapon for us?"
"Don't even think about it," Nelson sneered at the nose, "There is such a good thing, don't you take it from Bright?"
"Yes, the artillery battalion is enough," Cat's Claw said in imitation of Brett's tone. "Don't you often say that the thicker the pipe, the better? This kind of small water pipe still let us Firearm Battalion keep it guys , Then drink! "
The crowd raised the glass with a smile, but found that Van'er did not respond, but looked at the wine in the glass without moving, it seemed to be thinking about something.
"Camp commander?"
Van'er touched his chin and slowly said, "What if we made it ourselves?"
"What to make? New firearms?" Cat's Claw raised an eyebrow. "Campmaster, aren't you drunk?"
"Less come! I don't know if you have paid attention to it. Whether it is the shotgun used by Special Tactical Squad or the Mark I Model heavy machine gun of Firearm Battalion, they are repeatedly fired through an air pipe." Van'er said, "I see After many scraps, the weapon was dismantled and recovered. Although the structure is not the same, the principles are almost the same.
"Uh ... really? Why don't I know?"
"So the camp leader is not you," Rodney said, "But even so, it will require a lot of manpower and materials. The factory that produces weapon is not under the control of Iron Axe adult."
"No, what I mean is to make improvements on existing guns," said Van'er, the more he became clearer, "there is no need to bother the weapons factory or increase the burden on the administrative department, as long as Try it with the assistance of a skilled worker. "
The other three invariably looked at Jop.
The latter sighed and raised his hand helplessly, "My brother works in the industrial area, but he is responsible for the processing and assembly of steam engine. I'll take you there tomorrow."
