Five hundred and eighty-sixth allies
He named this weapon "The Wrath of the Lord."
To put it bluntly, this kind of rocket launcher is equivalent to a simplified version of the "Iron Fist" of World War II in the Civilization Age. It is slightly insufficient to deal with a chariot in the true sense, and it is enough to deal with a steam chariot like Joseph.
There is no launcher and you must approach the target before you can shoot.
In the civilization era, countless works have fantasized about the greatness of steam engines, but actual operations have shown that the kinetic energy released by coal is difficult, at least it is impossible to fly machinery into the sky in the earth's huge gravitational environment. Joseph is very clear about the weaknesses of steam chariots: they are huge, bulky, and have high requirements for the terrain... But he has no choice, and the situation is getting worse and worse, especially when the Saxon Kingdom is demise, the Holy See is becoming increasingly difficult to support.
Joseph became increasingly obsessed with the development of new weapons, which was his experience from computer information in the underground world. It must be admitted that there are many commonalities between the bearded head and the real world pope, especially the control over the country and the people. In Joseph's opinion, it was simply unparalleled.
When Joseph wanted to win this war, he regarded the long-dead bearded chief of the beard as his teacher, and frantically absorbed every bit of the era, especially the various actions of the chief of the leader during the war.
It is a recognized fact that the Tiger is stronger than the T341. Although the Germans lost the war, thousands of Tiger tanks killed the T34, which exceeded their own output multiple levels on the battlefield, which is an excellent record that can be achieved.
Joseph repeatedly ordered the increase in the production of steam chariots. Although the front line kept saying that the chariots were seriously damaged, the other party used a small individual weapon that could explode, causing the steam chariot troops to rely on a large number of infantry protection to advance, Joseph was unmoved.
"The most important factor in determining, even changing the world is technology." He wrote these fanatical words in his diary. At this moment, there was no holy Lord in his mind. The image of the illusory god disappeared from his logical world for a long time and disappeared.
Patching together resources, the Holy See sent a "No. 6" in the second large-scale battle. This is also the last "No. 6" of the Holy See. This monster suddenly entered the battlefield from an unexpected position, causing heavy losses to the army of the Lord's Kingdom, but this situation only lasted for less than twenty-four hours. The Dragon Rapid Response Force, urgently transferred from the north of the battle line, was put into the battlefield. Under the siege of more than one hundred dragon soldiers holding flamethrowers, the No. 6 was burned into a ball of pitch-black coke.
Flamethrowers are not advanced weapons. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, "Greek fire" appeared on the earth. An oil cabinet made of wood and metal, an oil pipeline, and a spout... Although it was primitive and heavy, ancient people won victory after victory with this weapon.
The dragon clan's refining of oil has reached a certain level. The reason why Tianhao formed the Fire Spitfire unit was, on the one hand, for the consideration of real war. After all, the highest level weapon that the opponent currently possessed was just a flintlock rifle; on the other hand, the Dragon Lock Pass battle left him a deep memory, and maybe when the Holy See would invest a new "No. 6" on the battlefield; finally, the close-range battle during this period was very casualties. If a Fire Spitfire team was invested at a critical moment, it would be enough to change the entire battle situation.
Joseph saw a tank on the computer screen of the dungeon. He drew a drawing in comparison, and after returning to the real world, he handed it over to the Holy See Research Department for imitation. However, the steam tank cannot imitate it in an absolute sense, especially the tracks and load-bearing wheels, which are difficult to operate normally in the current kinetic energy transmission of steam motors.
Another difficulty in imitating is artillery. Although Joseph has mastered the explosive formula and knows that the incorporation of diatomaceous earth into nitroglycerin can greatly reduce the danger, it is difficult to convert this knowledge into combat power in a short period of time. In other words, even with the guidance of Joseph, the Holy See, a large part of it remains on paper.
The transition from theory to reality takes time, requires tedious and extensive experiments.
The Northern Empire's military success has many similarities with the Holy See, especially Tianhao and Joseph, who are almost in the same corresponding position. The difference is that Tianhao set up the Jeju Island Military Industry Research Institute early, and conducted countless experiments starting from the most basic gunpowder configuration.
As an ally who signed a cooperation agreement between the two sides, King Rahman of the Lord showed enough sincerity.
Two million of the most elite troops launched an attack on the Holy See.
This is only the first batch, and the cumulative number of troops that have been invested far and wide in the war has reached more than five million.
The first time it was encountered by a steam chariot on the battlefield, it became a nightmare for many officers and soldiers of the Lord's Kingdom. They had never seen such a machine that could run on its own without animal power. The bullets fired by the combs (not equipped with flintlock guns supported by the Dragon Empire at that time) could not penetrate the outer armor at all. It had a high chimney, spewing thick black smoke, and slowly sailed from afar like the heavy breathing rhythm of an elderly asthma patient. The upper layer was closely protected by armor, and fires continued to emit, releasing death.
The heavy cavalry, who did not believe in evil, rushed over with their rifles, and the tip of the gun poked a harsh sound on the hard steel plate. The scimitar made of alloy steel could only leave scratches on the surface of the mechanical armor. The soldiers who rushed to the vicinity died in battle. The steam chariots were like terrible monsters crawling out of hell, leaving bright red marks crushing blood and flesh on the battlefield, moving forward slowly like a man-eating turtle.
In that battle, the Lord's Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, and a large area of land, including four core cities, was lost within a week. Rahman urgently sent someone to contact Tianhao and received important supplies from the Dragon Empire.
The low-end version of "Iron Fist" that had been prepared has performed excellent results on the battlefield, especially the name "The Wrath of the Lord" is very good for Rahman's appetite and has been unanimously recognized by the frontline officers and soldiers. In addition, Tianhao sent the first batch of participating troops in time to launch an attack from the West against the Holy See... Since then, the Kingdom of the Lord and the Dragon Empire have formed true allies, which has also dispelled most of the doubts in King Rahman's heart.
Seventeen of the first twenty-two steam tanks that were put into the battlefield were destroyed in the next battle. The soldiers of the Lord Kingdom, who were full of fanatical religious thinking, were not afraid of death at all. They were in groups of three, holding a low-end iron fist, holding a heavy tower shield, and rushing to the near front to launch. Most of the distances were no more than ten meters, and even more fanatical guys shouted the name of the Holy Lord, almost facing close shooting.
The Holy See was defeated.
After this battle, the Kingdom of God was inspired by the remains of the steam chariot left on the battlefield and found more weaknesses about this war weapon.
Just stuff the load-bearing wheels and tracks with steel bars, iron pipes, etc. can also prevent this thing from moving forward.
You can send soldiers with great strength to climb up to the top of the chariot with tools and use brute force to pry open the top hatch.
There are many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Holy Lord. These are primitive and ignorant, but they have to be admitted to work.
Joseph was desperate to change the situation, so he tried to put "633" into battle. However, just left Gabriel, the biological weapon listed on the instruction manual, which showed that the comprehensive combat power far exceeded "6" suddenly decomposed and turned into a pool of pus in the sun.
There is also "No. 102", although it is huge, but it performs poorly on the battlefield. It was surrounded by dozens of soldiers from the Lord's Kingdom and shot to death on the spot.
The biological weapons remaining in the ruins of Gabriel's dungeon all have weaknesses of one kind. This is not surprising. They have been in a state of research and development, with various biological indicators that are not perfect, and the body system must be in the training cabin to maintain normal operation. If the asteroids did not destroy the earth, subsequent research and development might make some of them perfect and become overlords on the battlefield. But now... with the research strength of Joseph and the Holy See, it is almost impossible to change any of these weapons left over from the civilization era.
Helpless Joseph could only turn his goal and restart those contemporary technologies that had been closed for a long time.
The Holy See began to install more advanced flintlock rifles.
Based on nitroglycerin, the improvement and development of shells is also underway, and the results are remarkable. The preliminary research progress is very fast. The military factories under the control of the Holy See are working at full capacity to produce new shells, but there is no breakthrough in artillery research, and it still continues the previous front-mounted model.
Although the war situation has been broken through in terms of weapons, the situation of war is not optimistic. The disadvantages of fighting on both sides are very obvious. What's worse is that whether it is the Kingdom of God or the Giant Empire in the North, they use all their plunder and cleanup of the occupied areas, which is simply outrageous.
All materials and equipment were transported away, and the parts that could not be taken away were set on fire and completely destroyed.
All the population in the occupied areas will be taken away, and those who refuse to leave will be killed.
Three years have passed, and the war between the Holy See and the two countries is still continuing, but in terms of production capacity or comprehensive national strength, the Holy See is no longer as good as before and has slowly moved on to the downhill.
At least more than 200 million people were abducted, and more than 60 million people died in mass murder.
This is actually the suggestion made by King Rahman: all pagans deserve to die, they must become our slaves.
Tianhao deeply agrees with this, mainly for war considerations. All-round plundering can reduce the opponent's overall strength. Regardless of population or resources, even if it is necessary to retreat in certain specific occasions, the Holy See can only obtain a useless scorched earth.
Stewart was appointed as the commander of the Imperial Security Force against the Second War Zone of the Holy See, with the second, third, eleventh, twelfth legion under its jurisdiction, with a total force of approximately 800,000.
The reason why Tianhao divided the war zones according to the civilization era was to better plunder the occupied areas. All the white commanders of the war zones and legions were spore transplanters. They had no problem with loyalty. This top-down control had an effect on the white officers of the Punishment Army. They believed that the commanders were "his own people" and also ensured their combat effectiveness to some extent.
Take Stewart as an example. As the commander of the theater, he has great authority. Especially in treating prisoners and people in the occupied areas, Stewart often never issues a second-class military discipline maintenance order.
A type of military discipline refers to battlefield discipline. All soldiers must fight bloody battles for His Majesty the Emperor. If there are any fugitives who are afraid of fighting, they will be executed on the spot.
The second type of military discipline refers to the military discipline in the occupied areas. Maintaining military discipline means that the occupied areas are under the jurisdiction of the empire. Not maintaining military discipline means that the occupied areas can be labeled as "free" and can do anything here.
The Governance Army did not belong to the regular army of the Empire. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Stewart allowed his subordinates to rob, plunder and indulge in the occupied areas after victory... Most of his soldiers were Saxons, especially those from the civilian class. They were once deeply oppressed by the church and still had to pay tithes taxes when they were poor and hungry, and had to take out a large part of the annual harvest to "proactively contribute" to the Holy See.
When the Eleventh Legion of the Governor Army captured the city of Cavesona, the dean of the monastery led all the monks and nuns out of the high wall and surrendered voluntarily. The dean believed that everyone was a believer of the Holy Lord. In view of common belief, the Governor Army should ensure the safety of the church's property, face the monastery with respect, and even give certain wartime privileges, or share benefits with the occupying army... He soon discovered that all this was his own illusory delusion: the Governor Army from Saxon smashed the monastery vault and transported away all gold and silver coins; they emptyed the wine cellar and held a grand drinking party in the church; the most pitiful thing was the nuns, who were usually their own darlings, and had to sleep beside themselves when they sincerely prayed for the Holy Lord... At this moment, they were held by rude and savage soldiers, drinking together, and doing things beyond friendship together.
The monastery was angry and cursed: Are you still believers of the Holy Lord?
The answer to him was a long knife that penetrated his throat deeply and stabbed the fat dean hard onto the heavy wooden door.
Stewart's order is clear: except for the strategic materials that must be handed over, everything in the city belongs to the occupying army. Five days after the military discipline is lifted, you can do whatever you want.
All the residents of Kavisona became slaves. In addition to the 30,000 young women left by the occupied troops, as well as more than 160,000 elderly, weak and sick who were examined, who were considered "useless and must be executed on the spot", as many as 1.2 million men and women in the city were included in the reorganization from the first day of the battle and occupying the city, and taken to the Saxon capital county to the west.
Lena is a believer of the Holy Lord and a young female slave.
On the first day of entering the large management camp of the Saxon Capital County, she, together with thousands of women, was forced to take off her clothes and was rushed into the collective bathroom by giant soldiers like animals.
