Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 421 Military Machinery Equipment

Now Crowd is understanding why the aristocrats of the Hicks Kingdom are so keen to set up a mineral developer to recruit people to explore and mine in the inland colonies. The Nikkan people only occupied one third of the inland colonies of the Hicks Kingdom. On the site, more than a dozen gold and silver mineral resources were discovered. It is conceivable that there are still a lot of gold and silver mineral resources in the inland colonies of the two-thirds of the site.

It is important to know that the nobles of the Hicks Kingdom are interested in mining only gold and silver mines, or mineral resources that are more valuable than gold and silver. They are not interested in anything else, because gold and silver mines can be directly refined into ingots, and they can be exchanged for large amounts of cash when shipped back home. The most important thing is that transportation is also convenient. Several horses or donkeys can easily transport the production of months or six months to the harbor, without having to spend any money to build any roads...

Compared to the inland colony of the Hicks Kingdom on the mainland of Nubbia, the original seven overseas governing leaders of the Kingdom of Ovilas are hard-pressed. Although the area is broad and flat, and the transportation is convenient for colonial development, there are only three gold and silver mines in the Anfeiston municipality with the most mineral resources. Other direct jurisdictions cannot find gold and silver mines, and the mineral resources explored are valuable. However, it is necessary to carry out large investment and construction to be exploited, and it is not so convenient to make money without gold and silver mines.

With the help of Bocker, the war zone has divided the border with the Nazionale State of the port of Viboto, basically in accordance with the original jurisdiction of the original Viputal Port Colony. In some places, the theater also occupies a lot of cheap, and some of the hills and highlands are placed under the borderline. It is easy to build a defensive front by virtue of these places.

This time, in addition to the special envoys of the Nikkan people, Bokal came to Tilsim, Mormari and Atulas, and the three local leaders of Nikkan moved to their own country. In addition, he asked Claude for something else. Looking around, he made a mysterious paper from his arms and handed it to Claude.

"What is this, sneaky..." Claude did not agree to open the document, and the content inside seemed to be a list. Only Claude jumped up when he saw it. He reached out and grabbed the collar of Bokal, and pulled it to himself: "Where is this thing? Is it true?"

Can't blame Claude for being so surprised, because this list clearly shows a large hydraulic forging press, a large refining furnace, a variety of matching hydraulic cutting machines, large hydraulic drilling machines, etc., all of which are kingdoms. It is forbidden to use military machinery and equipment owned by overseas direct jurisdiction. And the mechanical equipment written on the list that Claude saw can completely form a large military industrial base. That is to say, these things can make the theaters shoot their own guns, or the kind of standard equipment. Instead of different sizes of earth guns and earth cannons.

"Calm, calm!" Bokal pointed to the collar that he was shackled.

Claude was embarrassed to loosen his hand, and picked up the wine on the table and poured two directly, so that the mood calmed down. At present, the new rifle researched by the sister Anna's laboratory has made great progress and has entered the stage of testing. It is the continuous launch to test the durability and practicability of the gun, as well as safety. In general, it is necessary to launch 3,000 bullets before initially determining whether the new rifle meets the designed requirements.

However, Claude also got a bad news from the master of the book, that is, even if the new rifle was invented, it could not be directly applied to it overseas. Quite simply, there is no military industry in overseas direct jurisdiction, and it is impossible to manufacture new rifles in large quantities. You can only do a small amount of hand-made in the Alchemy Magical Array, or organize a blacksmith to make small-scale builds. Just like that, there is no guarantee of uniform accuracy and quality, only a local gun.

Now the mechanical equipment of the military industry on this list sent by Bokeal completely solves the difficulties faced by Claude in preparing the new type of rifle, but it is strange that Claude is, according to the truth, the military industry like this. The complete set of mechanical equipment should be the focus of the theater, and how can it appear in the hands of Bokal?

Bok Al's collar was smashed by Crowder's collar and wanted to drink. However, I looked at the bottle that was directly filled by Claude and smothered it. I went to the wine cabinet and chose a bottle of fruit wine. After I opened it, I poured myself a cup and slowly tasted it. Claude is not in a hurry, so he looks at him so coldly.

After drinking the wine, Bokal pointed to the list and said to Claude: "You don't believe it. I only got two boxes of good wine and a box of fresh beef to get the hand."

Crowder shook his head and said that he didn't believe it. Which big head would take these things and Bokal changed two boxes of wine and a box of fresh beef.

"It's true, I didn't lie to you." Bock Al spoke eloquently. It turned out that the mechanical equipment of the military industry on these lists was transported from the Hicks Kingdom to the port of Vibator. The reason for this was because Mekid III wanted to build a large gun in the colony of Nubiana. Gun manufacturing workshops, producing muskets and artillery and ammunition to ease the pressure on the sea, to facilitate colonial garrison troops and replace damaged weapons and equipment.

Since this was the idea that Majid III had come up with, the following people were very responsible for transporting these military machinery and equipment to the port of Vibato and found a big problem. Where is this gun manufacturing workshop to be established? It is well known that the gun manufacturing workshops set up in all countries of the Faurea continent have strict geographical requirements, that is, the use of water requires constant water resources for waterfalls, while the colonial counties of the port of Vibator do not. Suitable place.

The officials who came to be responsible for the construction of this gun-making workshop were guilty. Fortunately, he also brought some engineers and explorers to his trip. The Hicks Kingdom is as big as the inland colony here. Can find a suitable place. So he sent all of his engineers and explorers out to find the right place, and then build this large gun manufacturing workshop.

It was only this poor responsible official who did not realize that the colonial officials and nobles on the port of Vibator did not take the request of Marked III first, but instead turned his mind to the engineers and explorers under his command. . The Emperor of Heaven is far away, and the colonies here are very lacking, not the hard-working people who have no brains, but the talents of these professions.

At that time, the colonial war had not yet begun, or that Makid III had just turned his attention to the overseas governor of the Kingdom of Ovilas. He had to build a large-scale gun-making workshop in the colony. But what he didn't expect was that the aristocrats of the Hicks Kingdom had already taken the red eyes in the inland colonial mining. They needed professional exploration personnel to find new gold mines for them, that is, those engineers could also do theirs. The mining industry designs or repairs the latest gold mining machinery...

Therefore, the surveyors and engineers sent by the responsible officials quickly lost their whereabouts, and each of them became a missing person. The responsible official discovered that the colony was not the homeland of the kingdom. It was a landless land. If he went out of the city, he might not be able to guarantee his own safety. Many times, he saw that the guards who transported gold and silver ingots fled to the city and begged for asylum. Similarly, he also knew that if these guards met people in the wild who were weaker than them, they might turn into violent robbers. Slave team...

The responsible official wanted to go to the local officials in the colony to help, but all received perfunctory and procrastination, no one would be willing to help him. And he wrote to the kingdom of the kingdom, and because the colonial war broke out, no one took the letter he sent as one thing. Anyway, the equipment was everywhere, and it was impossible to lose it. It is only a small matter to disappear. After the end of the colonial war, It is not too late to build a gun manufacturing workshop.

So the sole responsibility of the responsible official became to guard the pile of equipment, and even the management of the dock area warehouse disguised that these things were too occupied, forcing the responsible officials to transport the machinery and equipment to an abandoned warehouse in the West Bank of Vibator Harbor. . The place was the poor shantytown where the Nikancha people were, and the responsible officials had to live with their servants to be custodians, lest the Nikkan people steal some small things.

In this way, the responsible official kept the machinery and equipment for more than four years until the port of Vibator was trapped by the Thunder’s light cavalry. The goods in the city are tense, and he and his servants can only use potatoes to feed their hunger. When General Bologna led the Guards Division to appear under the city of Vibator, he knew that his Hicks kingdom officials would definitely enter the camp after the city was broken. So he found Bok Al, and used the pile of machinery he kept to change two boxes of good wine and a box of fresh beef, ready to enjoy himself and his servants in the last few days of the city break.

"Is not right." Claude was a bit strange: "After the occupation of the port of Vibator, isn't it necessary to carry out the whole city? The mechanical equipment of the military industry like this will be discovered by the Guards. A great feat. You know how to seize such a set of military machinery and equipment produced by the Hicks Kingdom, even more than the broken city, how did you get through the Guardian Division?"

"Have you forgotten? I have not said that these mechanical equipment is stored in the warehouse of the West Coast of the port of Vibator, which was originally a place where the Nekka people lived, the poor shantytown. The Nikkan people were Hicks After the slaves were arrested, the whole side became a deserted land for no one. No animals like the mouse and the wild dog sparrow were there.

Claude also smiled bitterly: "Nothing, I have to work hard for these Nikkan people to move and help them to transport them to the north. Let's take it slowly. As for the Bison bronze medal, I will give it to you. Others go to the port of Vibator, look at the mechanical equipment, and choose the appropriate construction workshop address overseas."
