Chapter 305: The Last Glory of the Cavalry? (Additional chapter for the leader “Wei Zhijian”!)
"General, would you like some Chinese medicine?"
When Sam Layton came to Bruno to report, he was startled by the box of cigarettes that Bruno suddenly handed him.
I looked at it carefully, but still couldn't figure out what these long, straight paper rolls in the small box were.
"No...no need..." Sam Layton was a little nervous and waved his hands quickly.
Although he had achieved this great victory, Sam Layton was even more in awe of his lord the Duke.
Not to mention Sarah Coren, even Sam Layton, the commander-in-chief of the army, was testing the power of the magic rifle in actual combat for the first time.
The power of the magic rifle was far beyond his expectations.
It’s not that the Idar army has not conducted live-fire shooting and military exercises, but when they actually reach the battlefield and watch the enemies fall like dominoes one by one under the firepower of the Idar army, the excitement, bloodiness and tension felt by the witnesses are a completely different feeling.
And Sam Layton knew very well that the Duke in front of him was the mastermind behind this war.
From magic cannons to magic rifles, from hot air balloons to magic crystal bombs, these things that completely changed the battlefield, which one was not proposed by the young noble in front of him? In Sam Layton's opinion, Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, was definitely a man who changed the way of war in this era.
The era of relying solely on cold weapons to hack and chop each other is gone forever! Sam Layton even suspected that with such powerful weapons as magic cannons and magic rifles, even if the creature sitting in his position was a dog, he would probably be able to win the war? Seeing that Sam Layton didn't smoke, Bruno put away his "Huazi".
because……
He doesn't smoke either.
The cigarette in Bruno's hand is the new cigarette produced by the Idar Cigarette Factory.
In fact, when the Governor of France, Siber, brought it to him, Bruno tasted it seriously, and then he had a violent cough and felt dizzy.
So I never touch it again.
As for pipes and pipe tobacco...
The craftsmanship of making pipes is relatively complicated. Since they are prepared for noble gentlemen, very precious raw materials are used.
Bruno also plans to make pipes out of precious wood, not to mention coral and agate.
In Bruno's opinion, is buying a pipe really just for smoking?
That's not necessarily true! Pipes can also be valuable collectibles! Besides, since you've already bought a valuable pipe, it's not too much to spend a lot of money on some tobacco, right? If I can train the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel to become smokers... wouldn't that mean I can make a lot of money? And I can make a lot of money by doing it consistently!
Thinking of this, Bruno was immediately happy.
"Your Excellency the Duke, although under the current circumstances, neither the Odin Empire nor the Norman Empire is likely to take the initiative to attack us, but in my opinion, with the expansion of the Idar Principality's territory, the expansion of the Idar Army is imperative." Sam Layton said seriously.
"Yes, but not just the army, but also the navy!" Bruno added.
The Norman Empire was busy fighting a civil war, and the Odin Empire had signed an armistice agreement with the Principality of Idar and had just ceded a large piece of land to the Principality of Idar. It was impossible for the Odin Empire to make things uncomfortable for Idar in a short period of time.
so……
Bruno did want to expand the military, but he was more interested in expanding the navy.
As early as when the Faran Islands were discovered, the wonder construction system mentioned a piece of land called "The Lost Land" just like Bruno, and the news brought by Mike also confirmed the fact that there is land overseas.
The Idar Territory will definitely not be able to expand its sphere of influence on land in a short period of time.
After all, there is the Odin Empire to the north, the Norman Empire to the west, and a ready-made ATM machine to the south.
In addition, the vast land that has been conquered has not yet been digested. If he runs out and fights again, he might really be regarded as a common threat by these neighboring countries.
Besides... it's actually pretty good to stay in the eastern part of the empire. At least it's far away from the unstable factor of the Church of Light.
If the church makes any unexpected moves, I will have enough time to prepare. Even if the worst comes to the worst... it should be no problem to hold the dangerous place, right?
Therefore, expanding overseas is undoubtedly the best option at present.
As a time traveler and a hacker, Bruno has a natural advantage in expanding overseas.
There is a function in the wonder construction system called "map".
By paying a certain amount of brilliant points, Bruno can easily get a map of a distant unknown land! This means that the ships of Idar no longer have to wander aimlessly in the vast ocean to open up routes like the Fruit Teeth and Spanish Duck in the Age of Exploration in the previous life.
and,
Bruno always had a feeling that he might find something extraordinary on another continent in the ocean! For example,
The secrets hidden behind the scenes of the Church of Light,
Or maybe…
The truth behind the fall of the gods? Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but shake his head. It was too early to think about these things now.
Besides...
Only by stabilizing the situation in the Principality of Idar and allowing the Principality of Idar to gain a firm foothold, will we be able to expand the navy and invest money to expand overseas.
Although Bruno has always been thinking about overseas lands, he has always been more cautious when it comes to expansion.
"The Idar Principality's army will be expanded to 6,000 people first, with priority given to drawing personnel from the current local reserve forces, and named Idar's First Army and Second Army respectively."
"clear!"
Although the total number of 6,000 people is a little different from Sam Layton's expectations, it is actually quite good.
"Oh right! During the war, a large number of Northern horses were captured, right?"
"Yes! There are thousands of them!" Sam Layton said excitedly.
Hearing this,
Bruno couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Bruno had two ideas about the cavalry.
The first is definitely the Rifle Cavalry Regiment.
The Northern Horse is a famous fine horse, and is considered to be among the best in terms of endurance and speed.
If the soldiers of Idar County held the "Persuader Type I" submachine gun in their hands and rode the brave horses of the North, they would definitely be a powerful mobile force that could fight and run on the battlefield.
but……
Bruno, however, always wanted to build a heavy cavalry (readers, I will criticize you later).
Of course, Bruno's purpose of raising a heavy cavalry was not pure.
Traditional heavy cavalry really has many disadvantages, such as high maintenance costs, poor mobility, and extremely weak combat endurance...
But Bruno was also very clear that heavy cavalry was a type of soldier that had never appeared on this land before. Once it appeared and demonstrated its strength on the battlefield, it would surely amaze everyone.
Bruno's idea is actually very simple.
First, I would pull out a small group of heavy cavalry to fight a battle, let all the forces see how powerful the heavy cavalry is, and then... I could sit in the castle and sell weapons! Not only would I make money sitting there, but I would also allow all the forces to pay a high price to support a group of flashy masters.
Of course, once the mages of the Idar School are able to solve the problem of the unstable shape of the suspension array structure under the bumpy state, then everything about the heavy cavalry should be considered in the long run.
Waiting for the chapter to be copied! Should I engage in heavy cavalry? So tangled!
