603 Crowley's Fantasy Journey (4)
The historical source of the mortar has a long history, and there is a 13th century simplicity stone bullet casting machine. There are 450mm Carl siege guns in World War II.
Regardless of the ancient and modern, the design ideas of all mortar artillery are the same: short range, large angle, high ballistic arc, which is used to bombard urban defense work.
In a word: As long as there is a place with urban defense, there is a mortar gun.
What appeared in Hongji Fort is such a super -large -caliber gun. Although Ge Longde is only 500 meters away, it is very powerful and can continue to launch a heavy projectile with a caliber of more than 48 pounds.
In the 17th century, the 170 mm aceston has exceeded 48 pounds of caliber, which is definitely the biggest caliber to the world.
Although Europe at this time also has large -caliber casting artillery, but the smelting and casting technology is backward, and it cannot meet the fighting standards for the formulation of artillery.
Today, the "Ge Longde" that opened the hija head was originally an experimental product of the major military military casting factory.
Unfortunately, after verifying a series of casting and forging processes about large metal parts, this finished gun and other similar experiments were thrown in the warehouse to eat ash.
There is no way. Although the quality of the experimental products has completely reached the standard of combat, the field of field transportation in the 17th century is harsh, and the equipment weighing more than 5 tons does not need to be at all -wait for these big guys to climb to the launch position by inch, and the front side may refer to it.
Two days ago, I knocked on the city with explosives.
However, after the world was unpredictable, after signing an agreement with Annan people, the Army suddenly discovered that to help Zheng's south according to the agreement, the big guys in the warehouse could really come in handy.
As for the disadvantages of the guys ... Annan people must not care. In this era, a casual city war can play for several months or even years. Annan people have enough time and manpower to move the big guy on the big guy onto the guy onto the guy on
The front line knocks on the turtle shell of the "rebel".
The Army only needs to send military instructors and artillery teams.
So a big guy was urgently installed on the boat. As for the evil name on the artillery body, it was ordered by some people who missed the old world as early as when casting.
Seeing this sharp and mighty and rough cannon, many guests present today felt confused.
Many of them originally thought that the military clauses that helped Annan's "unification" on the treaty were probably used to flicker Annan people: to maintain Annan's "north and south divisions".
Best option?
However, today this cannon breaks the mindset.
Each family is the accounts of each family. For those with different fundamental purposes, the set of differentiation/coexistence models of colonists is completely unsuitable for themselves.
The purpose of crossing the forces is to replace, so instead of spending time and effort to settle the division one by one, it is better to let the other generations fight in the victory and defeat, and then make Li Daitao stiff.
Anyway, it is not their own person. Annan people like to do the world and do it.
The abdomen was degraded. After seeing the handling ceremony of the artillery, the guests still applauded the congratulations according to the number of gifts (the gifts brought by the cross).
On behalf of Annan, the two cultural and military members who came to Hongji Fort to evaluate the implementation of the military aid agreement also smiled.
Annan people did not expect that the Ming people were so important to keep their trustworthy, and the town's weapon was sent like this.
As a result, General Annan, who was responsible for accepting, announced on the spot that all the army of Hongji Fort will be withdrawn at the latest tomorrow. In addition, the new army will also be formed at the fastest speed, and the team of instructors of Mingren will be welcomed to guide.
So, things are done.
———————————————————————————
A series of military and political operations that a certain evil forces interfered with Annan State was pulled down at this moment. As for the second stage in the following, it was water milling, which was a new chapter that opened a new chapter.
Speaking of the eyes. After the arms donation ceremony, even if the business is finished, it is a relaxed banquet time.
Soon, some servants wearing clean short shirts transformed the venue. The centered chair square array dispersed, and the layout became a circle of tea and wine clubs around the round table.
The guests were scattered, and they sat together according to their nationality camp. Lao William and Crusley, the two, did not doubt that they sat on the Dutch table.
Here are still looking for seats, there are constant sources of fruit, tea, wine, coffee, tobacco leaves and simple snacks on the desktop.
Seeing the various tea snacks on the white cotton cloth desktop, Clalli looked at this moment, as if returning to his hometown in Yorkshire.
At that time, every spring in spring, the nearby manor owners and nobles would come to Clalli's house. Gentlemen and ladies, sitting on the sunny lawn, served with a well -trained servant, tasted
Vanilla lemon juice and biscuits, time is leisurely and lazy.
The next moment, Claley's contemplation was interrupted, and a beautiful blue and white porcelain cup appeared in front of him: "Taste, Clalli. This is a drink unique to the East, named" Tea "" "
Then, then
After hearing the words, I took the cup and looked at the green tea in the cup and the tea erected in the roots. Clalli took a sip.
He quickly gave the evaluation: "There is a plant aroma and bitter taste, a bit like coffee, it looks good,."
Old William laughed: "This is an unique drink in the East. Like coffee, the Oriental use it to refresh it."
At this time, other Dutch people at the same table also participated in the topic. However, just like all the gossip, the Dutch's topic soon turned from tea to silk and bleach.
No surprise to the situation in East Asia.
In this process, although Lao William and Claric were frequently participated in the discussion, the attention of the two secretly placed on the main table not far away.
Finally, after communicating with a group of Dutch merchants for a long time, Lao William saw a scene they wanted to see: the guests who visited a few times left the main table one after another, and the two Annan officials finally left.
The next moment, Lao William secretly signaled: the opportunity has arrived.
Crowley got up, sorted out his clothes, and paced with Lao William to walk towards the main table.
The so -called main table is undoubtedly the table occupied by people.
Because there are many people who come to Annan this time, the main table is stitched by three long tables, and it is also full of various refreshments and wines and drinks.
"Hahaha, dear friends, the living old William sees you again!"
Playing a pair of old William who did not meet again, before reaching the table, he used a weird tone.
Most of the crowds on the main desk knew Laoshia. After the Dutch Museum of Dutch Island, Lao William, as a senior captive, wandered around with a crutch every day, and he had talked with many people and crowded many people.
sky.
At that time, the crowd of crowd had just ran to the island as a king, and was still in the stage of reeling, so it was basically approachable, far from the people today, everyone can be regarded as "old friend".
So when I saw Lao William, many people greeted the glass and greeted: "William, you ran to East Asia to sell it again!"
Seeing his popularity, Lao William's beard was even higher: "Cutus is a testimony of our friendship. I don't sell it. I brought a lot of Betta Maer this time. They are all charming and have been shipped off the boat.
"
"I saw the horse, it was Mawarima, which was rolled out of the ears, and was accepted by the army."
In the early years, he was a master's degree in science and engineering. Now Li Hao, who is working in the Ministry of Commerce, asked Erlang's legs and asked: "But I remember the Ministry of Commerce also sent you to work, did you complete it?"
"Dear Li, never doubt Mr. William's credit!"
Speaking here, Lao William motioned to Klali, so the latter took out a stack of parchment paper from a Indian rhino leather bag in the waist.
This stack of sheepskin paper is extremely related to the goods. It is another project undertaken by Lao William in addition to horses.
What kind of project? Nitrogen, Indian nitrogen.
In other words, although Lao William has always been able to get tight goods from a certain force, it also has to pay the price in the middle, such as the horse transportation this time.
Ordinary businessmen, the Army will not entrust them to collect transportation horses in India. The intermediate risk is too great. If you accidentally horses, the whole army will be overwhelmed due to plague and other reasons. As a result, the prepaid here will be drifted.
In addition, the materials such as breeding horses and nitrogen are involved in the strategic direction, so crossing forces usually do not have a big fanfare. They will only entrust the "old friend" to do it.
Old William is such an old friend.
The sheepskin paper he took out today was a survey report on the origin of nitrogen in the place where the nitrogen producing place was written in cities along the coast of India.
The content of this report is very comprehensive, and Lao William has done its best to investigate the nitnes of the nitnes in some areas of India. To this end, he did not hesitate to go deep into India, visit and record the situation of the nitrogen out of production.
The next moment, Li Hao reached out and picked up a Zhang shelkin paper and looked finely.
At the same time, a few hands were stretched out next to it ..
Nitrogen is an extremely important strategic resource. Information about the nitrogen is not only the Ministry of Commerce, including the Ministry of Agriculture, the Army, and the Chemical Industry, so they are concerned about this, so the stack of shellacked paper was quickly taken.
"good."
After looking at it a few times, Li Hao first expressed his appreciation of the content on the sheepskin paper: beautiful English flower bodies, clear entries, detailed records about the nitrogen production records of India.
If the content of this information is true, it will have an important impact on the formulation of the "government" in the future.
"William, is there a sample with?"
Old William replied respectfully: "In the cabin of Mrs. Jacob, there are 4 Laster nitrogen. According to the instructions of the Ministry of Commerce, they are classified according to the place of origin."
"Very good, William, it seems that you have copied this trip again! This report is very important!"
"Sir, thanks to my British nephew Clalli thanks to all of this. What you know, Lao William is a poor person from the Luxembourg country, and has never learned to write text."
Clalli, who was cleverly introduced by Lao William, can only forcibly put away his surprise at this moment to face the oriental aristocracy -he was dumbfounded before, because those who got sheepskin paper were serious
Watching the English flower written by himself.
Crowley swear, they are not pretending!
