Eighty-two, Dawn Empire (middle)
The large number of magic cannons has changed the mode of war, and without magic cannons, they can only be hit like targets by others, which Ovatt has already experienced very well, so he said: "Kaigula, what is lacking in the production of your self-propelled cannons? We will all find a way to strive to produce more than 10,000 guns a year, and in the next battle of light and darkness, we will pull out 200,000 cannons to bombard them." "It's really uncomfortable to be pressed and beaten, and Ovate is also angry.
Kaigula smiled bitterly again: "Ovat, you think I don't want to increase production, it's just that this kind of technical work is not so easy to solve, talent is one aspect, I have already started to solve it, but the raw material aspect is the biggest problem, and the output of my Dawn Kingdom is really limited, so there is no need to think about 10,000 doors a year, I think, at most 3,000 doors." However, when it comes to war, I have a few points I want to make, and just now, whether it is Nicholas or Ovat, the blame for the defeat is shifted to the war machine, but I have an opinion on this, and in my opinion, you have not seen the essence of the problem. β
Ovat's face changed a little and said, "Kegula, what do you want to say?" Nicholas smiled and said, "Kegula, say whatever you have, don't hide it, and tell it so that we don't make the same mistake in the future." The others were sticking their ears out to hear what Kaigula had to say.
Kegula said: "The defeat of our army is indeed a big problem in terms of weapons, and this is one of the major factors in the defeat of our army, but it is not the most important factor, and I think there are three most important reasons for the defeat of our army. The first is that the commander's thinking has become rigid and inflexible. β
Ovat's face turned bluer, and Kegula was clearly talking about him. "Although the military strength of our army is not as good as that of the opponent, in terms of the battle of light and darkness, our army only has 1.2 billion troops, and the dark temple has an army of 1.5 billion, our army is indeed inferior to the other party, but if our army concentrates all its strength to fight a field battle with the enemy, our army may not be defeated, although the magic cannon is powerful, but in the field, the role that magic can play is far less powerful than when attacking the fortress, so the most wrong thing our army did in the battle of light and darkness is to defend the fortress, if it is to pull out the army and fight with the enemy in the field, I am afraid that the loss will not be so bigγ Kaigula said mercilessly.
Nicholas nodded and said: "This is indeed a fact, although the power of the magic cannon is very large, but in the field, in the face of the cavalry charge, the role that the magic cannon can play is very limited, if our army concentrates a large number of cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the field, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the dark army to defeat our army." With Nicholas's words, Ovat's face became even more ugly.
Kegula continued: "The second factor in the defeat of our army was the war on both sides. In a battle with the orcs, our army was defeated and had suffered great losses, but some of our generals did not care about reality, and had to fight with the Dark Temple, therefore, our army was almost powerless, and almost all the troops in the rear were withdrawn, and later, it almost reached the point where there were no soldiers available, this was a strategic mistake, if our army did not fight this battle of light and darkness, then our army would not have such losses Even if we have to pay a certain price, however, it is much less than this war. β
Ovat stood up and pointed at Kegula and said, "Kegula, are we just giving in to the sinners of darkness? Even if our army is defeated, it has shown our momentum and let the believers and people of the God of Light know that even if we are defeated, we are not easily defeated by those dark sinners, and we are invincible." β
Kaigula said softly: "If everyone thinks like this, I haven't seen it, but I think that our army has indeed made a big strategic mistake, fighting on both sides is a taboo for soldiers, there is nothing to fear from losing a battle, what is terrible is that we will make the same mistake, if in a few years, the orcs go south again, if our army loses another battle, then we can't fight the next battle of light and darkness?" In the past, the orcs often went south, but we did not suffer any losses, but since Hu Xuantian came to power, our army has been defeated in two wars and suffered great losses, so that our army is almost bottoming out in terms of military spending and other aspects, this time we can still rely on our previous savings to fight this time, so what about the next time? What about the next time? We have spent almost every gold coin in the defeat of these two wars, no money, no weapons, so what war will we fight?"
Although Kaigula's words are light, everyone can hear them clearly, although no one agrees with Kaigula's words, but Kaigula is very reasonable, such a two-front war, for the Temple of Light, is already unbearable, for the present, the Temple of Light still needs to invest a lot of money to restore the repair of the northern theater of war and the production of civilians in the north, these are all money, without money, nothing can be done.
The Pope said: "Kegula, what about the third reason?" "The third reason is the training of our army, since the large-scale use of magic cannons in war, the mode of war has changed, and it is no longer the previous one that only needs to rely on more people, let's look at the black-clothed Shura, his Dark Demon Empire's strength has been maintained at the level of 40 million over the years, and it has not increased too many troops, and what about one of our empires?" Some of them are 300 million, and some of them are more than 100 million, or even 200 million. Is it because the black-clothed Shura has no money? No, on the contrary, the black-clothed Shura has money, but we don't see him expand his army, on the contrary, he still vigorously reduces the army in his empire, what is this for? Why can't we get a little enlightenment from it?"
Nicholas smiled and said, "Kaigula, do you mean that under the power of the magic cannon, we no longer need the previous battle mode of a large number of troops, but instead use the elite soldier system?" "Yes, the Dark Demon Empire is taking this path, now, in the Dark Demon Empire, every soldier is required to reach the strength of the saint level and above, without this strength, no one will want to be a soldier, you can think about it, with such an army, although the strength of the Dark Demon Empire is not much, but, what about their combat effectiveness?" I've heard that there is such an army in the Dark Demon Empire, they are called magic hand artillery, that is, each soldier has a hand-held magic cannon, infantry or cavalry that can fire cannons while running, let's think about it, if such an army is put into the battlefield, how many troops do we need to use against them?"
If this army has 100,000 people, there will be 100,000 magic cannons, or the power of these magic cannons is far inferior to those bulky magic cannons, but the power will definitely be able to kill the soldiers below the strength of the holy level, in the face of this army, no matter how many troops are cannon fodder, 100,000 small magic cannons fired together, the power is really terrible, it seems that the model of the army is really going to change.
Kaigula continued: "I heard the black-clothed Shura say that in the next step, he is going to raise the conditions for conscription to god-level strength, you can consider it, if the black-clothed Shura really re-organizes such a force, we can already admit defeat when we fight the battle of light and darkness again, I really can't imagine what kind of fortress can block the attack of god-level masters, and what kind of city walls can stop the footsteps of god-level masters." β
Whether it is a god-level warrior or a magician, they can fly, although the warrior can't fly too far, but he can also fly a short distance, that is to say, in front of these soldiers, all the walls of the fortress are empty words, and with the attack of portable small magic cannons, what army, what fortress can withstand the attack of such an army?
Kaigula said: "Of course, the black-clothed Shura is not only these 40 million troops, but also a reserve army of 100 million in his Dark Demon Empire, these reserve troops all receive formal military education, and they all receive three months of intensive training every year, that is to say, as long as the black-clothed Shura is willing, he can expand the army to more than 100 million at any time, or even more, what do you think of this military service method?" I am also ready to implement this method, but I am far from being his opponent, because he has an empire, he has 20 billion people, and I, I only have one kingdom, only 2.8 billion people, and I can't fight him at all, so in the next battle of light and darkness, I hope he can still give me face. β
Kaigula is reaching out to ask for power, but no one has spoken, because, hearing Kaigula's introduction, the black-clothed Shura does have this strength, it's really unexpected, the black-clothed Shura has not moved all these years, but he has formed such a powerful army, which is really unbelievable, however, these words are from Kaigula's mouth, and I have to believe that if there is anyone in the Temple of Light who knows the black-clothed Shura best, it must be Kaigula, in this way, if the black-clothed Shura doesn't give Kaigula face next time, if he wants to fight, then the Temple of Light can still resist the attack of the black-clothed ShuraοΌ
Soldiers with god-level strength, not to mention those soldiers with only gold-level or silver-level strength, and even officers with saint-level strength only have the fate of being slaughtered, the god-level strength is too strong, but aren't god-level masters always very arrogant? Why would you be willing to become a little soldier?
Kaigula seemed to see everyone's doubts, and sighed and said: "If the black-clothed Shura is not extremely prestigious in the Dark Demon Empire, of course he would not be able to form such an army, if it weren't for the fact that these masters were all trained by the black-clothed Shura since childhood, of course those masters would not be so obedient, so this army seems to be very easy to form, but if it weren't for the massive investment of resources, if it wasn't for decades of training, killing the black-clothed Shura would not have been able to train such an army." β
Understood, this is the army that the black-clothed Shura is pouring the resources of the whole country to cultivate, although the number is not large, but, it is worth it, it's just that this training method is not suitable for ordinary people, if the emperor of the empire does not have strong strength, there is no extremely high prestige, it is impossible to train such an army, among the emperors of the Empire of Light, no one has such qualifications, no, it should be said that among all the countries under the Temple of Light, there is no king who has such prestige, except for Kaigula, however, Kaigula only has a Dawn Kingdom, even if he uses all his strength, and how many people can be trained?
