Utopia

"Grand Duke, Grand Duke, something happened outside."

"Ah? Someone is rebelling outside and coming with troops?"

"No. It's the neighboring Kingdom of Zweiner. They have a border town that was razed to the ground overnight, and all the villagers were captured by the dog-headed men."

"Oh... I was scared to death, I thought someone was planning a coup and was ready to chop off my head. It's okay, it's okay."

The minister in charge of reporting was embarrassed when he heard that Archduke Karl, who was still in his old ways and continued to spend money and wine with his mistresses in the big room, made such a statement.

"Grand Duke, the northern border of the Kingdom of Zweiner is a straight line with our principality..."

"That's their business, what does it have to do with our Principality of Ailimu?"

What do you mean by what?

The dog-headed men will cross the border of their own country and go to other countries to rob money and slaves!

This is called lips and teeth are cold!

Just because the Kingdom of Zweina was hit by a disaster, it didn't mean that the Principality of Ailimu had to sing and dance and hold a public celebration banquet to congratulate the mortal enemy of the Kingdom of Zweina.

Please!

The dog-headed people already knew that the Principality of Ailimu was poor and backward, and it was not even worth robbing!

Thinking of this, the minister in charge of reporting was solemn and quickly said goodbye to Grand Duke Karl, who was in no mood to pay attention to him.

What is the meaning of such a Grand Duke to the Principality and even to every citizen in the Principality?

No wonder there has been a voice in the Principality in recent years, saying that the Grand Duke's family should be abolished and replaced by another family.

But this is easier said than done.

Especially when the Principality of Ailimu was facing internal and external troubles, no matter who sat on the position of Grand Duke, he had to find a way to solve the crisis of the Principality.

If possible... reform.

"Another minister."

"Alas. Who in the Principality doesn't know what our great... uh... romantic lover is."

"But we are standing by his side like this..."

"Unless you give your wife to..."

"More than that."

"He... he... it's too hard for him, isn't it?"

Obviously, even the two guards guarding the Grand Duke knew the difficulties faced by the Principality of Elimu.

At the same time, they were very clear about one of the biggest pillars of Grand Duke Karl - Lady Netram's brother, General Nessar, who was recognized and praised by the Ascetic Church.

Unlike Lady Netram, who spoke without restraint and had no manners at all, General Nessar was a tough guy who spoke less and did more.

Thanks to General Nessar's early piety and bravery, the previous Grand Duke promoted him many times when he was alive and even married a half-sister to him. As a result, Lady Netram and Grand Duke Karl were fearless and were not afraid of the forces opposing them at home.

But what use is it for the interior?

The dog-headed man has come to kill!

Civil strife... can it be more deadly than foreign invasion?

The dog-headed people don't care whether you are a noble or a commoner. They can only do one thing without speaking the same language.

Those who don't obey will be killed! Those who obey will be slaves!

The fact that they don't come now doesn't mean that they will never visit the Principality of Alimu in the future. On the contrary, the dog-headed people are probably waiting for the Principality of Alimu to completely relax its vigilance, and then they will come to sweep.

Just like harvesting crops, when the Principality of Alimu grows a crop, the dog-headed people will prepare their sickles and kill directly.

In this regard, Quan Dunde, as the emperor of the Guangwu Empire, feels that his achievements are a hundred times better than those of his brothers.

"Your Majesty."

"What kind of good news?"

"Uh, Your Majesty... It's... It's like this, the soldiers below have requirements for heavy machine guns..."

"What? These... say!"

Although every time he heard the soldiers below pray for him, he wanted to draw his sword and chop off a few heads of those who talk too much, and then chop up some useless slaves and feed them to the fish, but Emperor Dunde still held back.

After all, the Guangwu Empire he established needed the bravery of his soldiers, otherwise it would be difficult for the Guangwu Empire to take root firmly in the New World.

"The soldiers below don't like to use machine guns with water-cooled cylinders, and hope to keep or develop new automatic cooling machine guns."

"Isn't there a model that fires the 67mm rifle bullet?"

"Your Majesty, that's too expensive. The arsenal said..."

"Expensive, right? Okay, reduce it! Reduce the production line of this gun, and then concentrate on making...making that...what was the previous machine gun called? The very accurate machine gun."

"Hee-in heavy machine gun."

"Yes! Since there are so many opinions, right? Now I order that the number of machine guns produced shall be controlled. Any soldier who captures no more than 20 slaves or kills 100 enemies shall not use machine guns."

"Ah?"

"Ah what? Go, issue this order for me!"

"Yes."

So, when Cheng Xian, who came back with 2 prisoners of war (slaves) seven days later, heard the victory, he looked at his superior with his eyes wide open.

"I don't want to either. But you should have heard that people complain about machine guns being too heavy, right?"

"I know."

"So now there is a conflict at the arsenal. They don't have enough funds and technicians to ensure the production of weapons."

"The result is that we have to suffer? Especially the heavy machine guns. Without them, we don't even know if we can hold a position."

"This..."

"Our Xicheng general-purpose machine gun is said to be universal, but what's the use of 3 rounds of magazines? It can't achieve the fire suppression we need! If it doesn't go well, relying on rifle shooting alone, can we do a three-stage shooting or double-row kneeling shooting like the natives?"

Speaking of these two tactics, Chengxian himself didn't know. But this is also thanks to the resistance of the natives. Although he was very "unfortunate" and didn't encounter it at all; but his colleagues have encountered such "strange" tactics of the natives many times.

Three-stage shooting is not to mention, so that the scene of heavy machine guns carrying out massacres is what the dog-headed people like to watch.

The problem is the latter.

Although the natives are also the type of being slaughtered, but with such a "deductible" order from His Majesty, double-row kneeling shooting may be a tactical means of producing fire suppression.

After all, the output of a large number of bullets in a short period of time is actually an important function of the machine gun. It should be possible to replace it with a group of riflemen firing at the same time, right?

However, Chengxian himself would not give priority to using such kneeling shooting tactics. After all, he has the Xicheng general-purpose machine gun. In terms of using machine guns, he is still very confident, and he knows that his men will not pull the trigger crazily.

Moreover, with the increase in the number of native captives, he has now realized a way to improve combat effectiveness...
