Utopia

"Because the engineer shovel is originally used as a combat weapon."

At night, Lai Ting Bei An, who successfully pursued Princess Jia Qi and officially married her thirty-six years ago, was impressed by his wife's explanation.

"In addition to digging trenches, soldiers can use the engineer shovel to hit any emergency situation?"

"Not hit, but chop! If I were not a cook, I would definitely get myself an engineer shovel."

"Wait, engineer shovels are not only for engineers?"

"How is it possible? We soldiers wish we could be equipped with one."

"Then the bayonet..."

"You must bring a bayonet, but if you really encounter any emergency, the engineer shovel will definitely work. For example, if I use an engineer shovel... Although I haven't tried it, it is no problem to split the native's head in one go or chop off the native's head directly."

Just listening to his wife's words, Bei An, who married into the royal family and changed his surname, looked helpless.

You have to know that his wife has been a strongman since she was a child. Although her body under the clothes has a powerful killing power that makes men's instinctive desire difficult to suppress, Jiaqi's strength is so strong that all her personal items must be hardened before she can use them.

However, it must be said that the engineer shovel, as a military weapon from the Iron Fist Empire of the Old Continent, is good at its multi-function.

Although the current bayonet is also developing in the direction of a multi-function tool, the engineer shovel itself is not used for hand-to-hand combat but for digging trenches and bunkers in the field. It is only because of the subsequent development of trench warfare and street fighting that the engineer shovel is more suitable for hand-to-hand combat than the bayonet that the Iron Fist Empire, which has considerable military sensitivity, has compiled an engineer shovel hand-to-hand combat textbook.

Later, when it came to the Battle of Blackwater Town, the townspeople who had to dig trenches only realized at this time that the engineer shovel was 10,000 times better than Eli's scimitar, and under the baptism of blood and fire, they began to use the engineer shovel to fight back in the imitation work of His Royal Highness the King, using the engineer shovel to deal with the Black Crow Duchy army that suddenly infiltrated the trenches.

"But now..."

"Let me put it this way. The function of the engineer shovel is the same as that of the dagger. Both the bayonet and the engineer shovel are most commonly used in confined environments. And these two weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages. The rifle mounted on the bayonet is longer, which gives it a certain distance advantage. More importantly, the physical requirements for stabbing with a bayonet are relatively limited. But the engineer shovel is shorter and more suitable for wielding in a narrow area. Compared with the bayonet, it does not require much special training to use it. In short, the two weapons are actually complementary to each other, which also enhances the battlefield status of the engineer shovel."

"Yeah."

"And now the Iron Fist Empire has used a folding engineer shovel. In addition to the scale on the handle of this shovel for marking, even the spikes that can also be folded inside can be pulled out at any time for stabbing or mine clearance. However, I don't like this design very much. A simple folding engineer shovel is enough. Although it is unlikely to be used frequently, there is always a sense of security when you carry an engineer shovel with you."

"So, Jiaqi, do you want it? I can I can build one for you."

"No need, the army already has one. And I'm a cook, and cooks are unlikely to dig holes by themselves in most cases. But your brother..."

"I don't have to worry about him, he must have one at the border. Even if he doesn't have one, uh, he shouldn't be so stupid that he won't ask for another shovel."

"Beian, to be honest, have you ever thought about getting some benefits for your family?"

"No need. Haven't you met my parents and my brothers and sisters? Beo doesn't need to think too much, my three adult sisters are already married. Now my parents are at most thinking about the brothers and sisters who are still at home. After all, you know that my father is a mixed-blood illegitimate child. As my father's eldest son, I don't want to be noticed if I can. "

"Why?"

"The royal family is too easy to attract the attention of the outside world, and there are too many obligations and responsibilities to bear. "

Speaking of this, Beian now understands why his father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, His Royal Highness the King and Her Majesty the Queen, have tested him one after another.

After all, the number of suitors pursuing Jiaqi was so large that it made the two of them extremely upset.

"Well, just relax. You don't have to be so restrained in the room, come here."

"Ah... do you know how terrible your lethality is?"

"Why? I won't snap it in half."

"That's why I'm worried."

That being said, after all, Beian married into the royal family of Lei Ting and officially became a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Nigan, so he didn't have to ignore the princess.

After all, he had done what he should do several times, so it didn't make sense to pretend to be serious at this time.

But at this time, as the night deepened, Chengxian felt extremely happy looking at the looted village.

Five hundred and nine slaves, plus the resources of thirty carriages.

Although not much, it is still of great significance to the Guangwu Empire.

"General, where are we going next?"

"Let's find a place to rest and continue to the designated location tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Also, control the consumption of bullets. The Empire has not yet transferred the truly important materials from our hometown."

"Yes."

Simply shooting the natives with guns does not mean anything. It is nothing more than a collective hunting activity. Compared with this matter, Chengxian hopes that the natives of the New World will surrender voluntarily and kneel down in front of the glory of the Guangwu Empire.

If the Guangwu Empire wants to develop rapidly, it is completely impossible without tens of thousands of slaves working day and night.

Especially the latest batch of immigrants said that the Iron Fist Empire is gradually encroaching on the territory of the Jiwei Peninsula, so that your Majesty's third brother has unfortunately died.

The countdown hourglass of the dog-headed people in the Old World is constantly devouring the lives of countless dog-headed people. For this reason, the dog-headed people in the New World are united and collected.

In addition, all threats are eliminated in the bud.

Of course, the Orchid Republic in the north of the New World is not easy to mess with, and there are even ironclad warships that can be used at any time.

Under such circumstances, developing to the south is always the best way. After all, that large warship with who knows how many guns is definitely not a toy to bluff. If it really opens fire...

Anyway, don't provoke it if you can.
