Chapter 866: Eight. The foot sound of military boots(10)

When it comes to Lapland, a series of keywords will immediately pop up in the minds of ordinary people: "Fortress to block orcs", "Ice forest", "Beautiful scenery", "Extreme poverty" and so on. Everyone has some special feelings for this country facing the front line of the armed forces of the orc camp. The questionable subject was replaced by nobles-no matter which side-only thinking of "wall head grass" and "foot pad".
To say the geographical environment of Lapland, the level of sorrow is close to that of Alfheim. Either the human camp marches eastward or the northern expedition, or the orcish camp westwards and southwards, all through Lapland. So this beautiful country has become a foot pad-anyone who steps out must step on it. When the orcs come in, it is inevitable to burn and rob, and when the allies come, they will harass the place and cause misery. Also beware of allies with the same faith turning their heads and not recognizing people, and destroying their homes all at once. Even if there is a conflict between allies, you have to worry about whether you will be forced to the team. Standing in the wrong team, Lapland's small body can't bear it.
In Lapland’s own words:
When this country was born, it was not a silver spoon but a dagger in its mouth.
Because of the skill of
sword swallowing,
it was possible to travel between powers, Lapland Survived.
Interestingly, the Laplandians who have the color of grass on the head and quiet and peaceful appearance do not lack courage. In the battles between the residents of the Frozen Forest and the Principality Army, there have been many magical examples of the same as opening, which almost makes people doubt that their racial talents are not only singing and dancing, but also opening.
This is the Lapland, as calm, deep and unpredictable as the forest swamp. The women sitting opposite Minerva at this moment can be described as the manifestation of this national character.
The long brown hair hangs to the shoulders, and the skin is pink and white like apples, just like the neutral facial features outlined by the sculptor. The quiet smile is matched with the lake green pupils. Every expression and movement are very stable and transparent. Friendly character.
With the ten-string Canterle that stays with you all day long, it's easy to think of the profession of bard.
Countess Mika de Sauman.
Minerva also vaguely knew some rumors related to this Lapland aristocrat student who was between the famous and the unknown.
For example: She is actually the product of noble and cheap marriage, because Earl Sauman has no children to inherit the title, so she became the heir to the title.
For example: before she embarked on the road to study abroad, she defeated many suitors and cut down the first level who mocked her descent and origin.
For example: she was actually expelled from Lapland, but studying abroad was just a disguise.
For example: She is actually a spy...
Surrounded by so many rumors, Mika and her knightly servant were supposed to be the focus of attention, but because of her incomprehensible low-key style and Roland's activity, she attracted most of the attention, making her successfully out of public sight. If it wasn’t for Winia’s inquiry about the documents left by the consortium, she stumbled upon several orders and enlarged and decrypted the micro-coded secret letters disguised as punctuation between the lines, only to know that the contacts of the consortium and Lapland in Lüders were not others. It’s Mika De Sauman.
(Speaking of liaison, in fact, is dealing with various transaction orders. From weapons to supplies, as long as Lapland puts forward the demand, the consortium will always try to meet it in exchange for the smooth trade channel with the Principality. In contrast, Lapland’s request It is basically within the acceptable range of the consortium, and it will never break the balance of power while ensuring the production needs of the military industry. It is a win-win situation.)
Looking back at the contents of the order, Minerva felt uncomfortable at the same time as Mika was unusual. It is important to know that in this patriarchal society, it is not easy for a woman to come forward, and her ability and background are almost not good. Will be entrusted with this important task, this countess is by no means a simple character.
Slightly stretched his breath to make the mood more calm, Minerva asked:
"His Countess Sauman, I have something to ask for."
"Your Highness' words are serious."
The strings sounded like ripples in the lake, and Mika smiled.
"As a concubine of a foreigner, what can I do for your Highness?"
(Cunning guy.)
Minerva secretly commented.
As soon as you come up, you will highlight your identity as a foreigner. It sounds polite, but it is actually a soft nail.
I am an outsider, and it is not convenient for you to participate in housework.
Use this impeccable reason to leave yourself clean, and indeed it is the noble of Lapland, the hidden fox. If you don’t know their details, you can’t take them.
"I believe that the Countess is also concerned about the recent situation."
"Your Highness, the concubine is just a follower, and she is not interested in the family affairs of others."
"This is really a good habit."
Minerva raised her lips and squeezed out a smile that looked as ironic as possible.
"But if you follow the wrong wind...such as hurricanes that do not distinguish between enemies and ourselves and involve everything including yourself in destruction?"
Mika's expression stiffened and immediately returned to her original state.
"So what do you think of your Highness? In the troubled times, the protagonists are all men, and women are only the Ping Ping, which has the ups and downs of the times. I want to leave my own mark in history-it sounds good, but the concubine does not Disapproval of unsuccessful heroism."
"Then we should implement idealism with a realist attitude."
Minerva responded without hesitation:
"Perhaps now I can give you far less than Brother Wang or Li Lin, but the dispute is over. When all forces complete the reshuffle, how should you be yourself in Lapland? How should you be yourself?"
The sound of the piano was beaten, and Mika's smile sank.
(Sure enough, the purpose of this woman's contact with the consortium is not just to complete the task. She and Lapland behind her are trying to obtain the consortium's technology, while planning to observe the situation and adjust their position in time.)
No one will completely put their own security on the so-called allies, especially the Lapland people who are accustomed to the words of "allies". On the surface, they form an alliance with Charlemagne. Privately, close contact with all parties is such a "swallowing sword" The best portrayal of the "diplomatic" mentality.
A deal with a consortium is also the same thing.
Limited by national power, it is difficult for Lapland to form a large-scale standing army. Without the support of the military, the voice of diplomatic involvement is not much, let alone bargaining with the powers. Therefore, the establishment of an army with less quality and better quality to consolidate national defense has always been the goal of Lapland's tireless pursuit. The rise of the consortium and the changes in the battlefield brought about by new technologies have made Lapland see a shortcut to achieve its goals. The performance of the armored forces in the "Long Sword Night" even made Mika feel refreshed. From those grisly armored monsters, she saw the ideal army, and the talented countess who had always been interested in mechanical technology immediately set out to collect relevant information, and at the same time tried to contact the armored chariots stored in the college, in order to find out A little harvest. It is precisely because of these actions that Winia noticed her mechanical talent.
In the final analysis, Mika's behavior is only a means, and Lapland's security is the fundamental purpose. She should be very clear about the impact that the crown prince's enlargement or the rise of the elf camp can do on Lapland. The former will make Lapland unable to move between the militaristic Charlemagne and the Principality of Ross. The latter is difficult to apply the past negotiation experience and norms. The elves may promote appeasement in order to protect their own safety and sacrifice Lapland for their own safety; they may also implement expansionism and divide Lapland from the Principality. It must be understood that since ancient times, the compromises between major powers have mostly been achieved by sacrificing minor powers. No one can guarantee that the consortium will not do this. Judging from their consistent performance, the possibility of selling this team of pure-bred benefit animals is not generally high...
"Then what can you do? Your concubine said bluntly, isn't that the one who is in the most disadvantaged position right now? Isn't that you? Why should we squander a few chips in the must-have game?"
"Maybe the situation is what you said."
Minerva smiled slyly.
"However, I still decided to give the surplus to the friendly army. It is up to them to decide how to deal with it. I believe that the equipment will be more effective in the hands of the friendly army. What do you think? Your Excellency?"
Looking at the innocent smile, Mika couldn't say a word.

"As a result, he was abducted into a thief ship?"
Nicole De Kelaining checked the indicator lights of the electric drive system one by one, and the green lights indicating that there were no faults lighted up one by one. The driver who complained about vomiting gave a sigh of relief. The system operation is cumbersome and outdated, but it will not be a mess. It has many similarities with the previous test drive 356A and 911 sports cars such as engine rear, electric transmission, etc. Perhaps the same designer may be the same person . I don’t know if compared to those shocking sports cars, this chariot is worthy of the driver who is playing the middle distance drift on the gravel road for the first time.
"I didn't expect that Mika would lose. What would the queen lady look better than her appearance?"
Mina de Terenin stepped on the turret motor pedal, the motor and gear set made a low operating sound, the square head turret turned clockwise, and moved back and forth a few times, the movement was very smooth, without a sense of delay, There is no noise caused by bad operation. Looking at the shells underneath and behind, Mina couldn't help but sigh.
The rear-loaded artillery is obviously more convenient than the front-mounted smoothbore gun, and its power is completely crushed. However, in order to plug a 120㎜ howitzer with a rear seat travel of 80 cm into the chariot, he did not hesitate to create a hut-like head turret. It is quite debatable to look at the top weight of the entire vehicle from afar. Not to mention, what do you mean by split-packed shells on the chariot of a three-person vehicle? I feel that the captain's part-time gunner is not enough. Is it better to the loader's errands? Still think that the loader is the mother bear of the Principality, belonging to the "Dragon Cavalry" who embraces the 152㎜ grenade with a red face and no breath, a cannonball on his shoulder, and a buttock on the hip?
"What do those designers think of single girls? Hercules born with power?"
"For this half-hanger, we are fighting too."
In the face of the fact that you are fighting on the battlefield and fighting for life, the post-mortem is always pale and weak. There is no reason to be involved in the battle for the throne of foreign kings. Jumping in is basically qualitative. In case of failure, the country will not admit that it has anything to do with you in order to make it clear.
Mina and Nicole knew this, and they still chose to obey. They believe that Mika's choice, their master will never do anything to harm the motherland.
"In terms of mass-produced products, there is no doubt that it is a failure, but a good horse will always show its true skills in the hands of a good knight. Isn't it?"
Mika tuned the strings, the sweet notes of the Kantler knocked on the cold armor, and the countess smiled uninhibitedly.
"Then... let's teach those big, empty guys, what is the "Initial P"."
Under the city walls, the metal giants who had been sentenced to death and waiting for execution were slowly standing up and standing on the ancient streets. The humanoid with a weapon looks far away from the ground, it is really majestic.
The idea of ​​"big is strong" has fans everywhere, and this view is further a linear thinking aesthetic of "big is beautiful, more is good". Such views may be derived from the obscure memories of the early primitive society confronting large beasts, or it may be the experience of coexistence with nature. Therefore, some people will subconsciously imagine the "huge human", using words, words, and drawings to depict their unstoppable attack, and the trembling appearance of humans crawling underground waiting for their passage. To some extent, this has become a kind of totem being worshipped, and even more so as to try to use its own hands to turn it into reality. Such attempts can be seen in various camps, such as MA, large Goblin, Beast, and Metal Gorem.
Initially Gorem was only developed as a siege machine, which can be regarded as a humanoid semi-automatic siege hammer. No one ever thought about turning the lumps of lumps into "mobile weapons", let alone laying "O Danim alloy", "X titanium alloy", "PS armor"... and so on. Shell. Just kidding, it just takes Gorem to walk up and down with a long nose, and makes Goreme like a human who can run and jump, fly, launch rockets, and fit... It’s not the enemy who came up with this idea If you are a spy, your brain is probably thicker than your neck.
Even the craziest technical experts in Alfheim have never thought of a "bipedal walking" mobile weapon. The problems of light center of gravity and walking balance are enough to kill a group of experts, and no one can eat it out. Imagine that a person with a height of 170 centimeters will shake up and down by 5 centimeters per step, and a human figure puppet with a total height of 17 meters takes one step. Strange in the cockpit! If the action moves quickly and then jumps and jumps, either because the inertia is strangled alive by the seat belt, or it is struck by the head in the cockpit... so the only thing they made is a humanoid thing, and the lower body is also a nozzle. In their words, it is summarized as "the human form has no other purpose than to be used as a target", "the feet are nothing more than decorations! Those big figures above will not understand!"
Unfortunately, Prince Louis is such a big man who "doesn't understand anything", and he is also keen on layman's guidance and layman's hands, and he is stubborn about military production. Metal Gorem is the product of this kind of interference by the will of the chief.
The flat car in the middle of the street unloaded the canvas. During the chanting of the magistrate, the giant armor slowly stood up, flexibly moving the human limbs with equal proportions of hands and feet, like humans carrying weapons, carrying cannons, giant swords, Many weapons such as spears. It is like a landscape painting of a 5-meter-high steel giant standing on the earth. In front of the power of manipulating giant swords and cannons like manipulating human beings with muskets and swords, there must be no opponents to fight.
Charlieman’s ordnance experts and magicians struggled to meet the targets set by the crown prince personally, in order to support their own weight after wearing heavy armor, and at the same time, they were able to move freely. The first level has been canceled, and the observation method that acts as an eye is installed, and the body is reduced as much as possible to reduce the center of gravity. As a result, the metal Gorem became a headless knight with elephant legs and orangutan arms on the body of the match stick. It looked similar to the pyramid in the distance. Because of the amazing shape of the skeleton, the army generally called it "Pan Datou". The history of development and equipment service is also in the history book forever in the name of "Horseless Knight"
Really don’t say that these measures really have an effect. The metal Grem that successfully lowered the center of gravity can not only walk smoothly, but also run at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, plus a variety of plug-in equipment, the end is to kill people and kill Buddha. , The killer of tank chariots. After seeing his performance on the test ground, the Prince of Longxin Joy personally gave him the title of "Pan", hoping that the metal Gorem, who has the name of the half-length god, would shine on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the ideal is Yang Yuhuan, and the reality is Zhao Feiyan. In front of the hunter’s 75㎜ 48-fold tank chariot and the Scout Leopard’s 50㎜ 60-fold tank chariot, the metallic Gorem within 1,000 meters can only kneel. Switching to a Tiger-style "huge eight-height chariot cannon", you can get a roll call 2 kilometers away, not to mention that on a battlefield where a pit father is flying all over the sky, this large iron can can't be started smoothly at all.
Despite the serious problems, once it starts up smoothly and moves as expected, with that volume and weight, it can be turned into a disaster by just using hands and feet.
"With the current mainstream front-mounted smoothbore gun, you can only tickle that big guy at most. Suicide anti-tank weaponry has a chance, if it can be posted and detonated, and the power source and operation skills are accurately destroyed."
Mika accurately pointed out the advantages of metal gorem. As she said, the mainstream weapons of the human camp are difficult to cause fatal damage to them. Either the maneuverability is poor, or the firepower output is insufficient. The high-level attack technique can be fatal, but the obvious excess power is a waste. Switching to armored vehicles such as hunters and leopards can easily be named on the open ground, but the city street battle is quite another matter. The street architecture limits the field of vision and shooting range, and it is difficult to fully exploit the mobility of the tank. At the same time, it also adds a lot of fire dead ends. Especially from a three-dimensional attack from close range, the tank is completely in an awkward situation that is "unstoppable and impossible to fight".
It can be said that as long as it is not a professional city like the Defense Army, which summarizes the core spirit of urban combat with the word "demolition". Demolition. Relocation of the army, using the psychology and geographical advantage of the opponent’s use of the mouse, the metal Golem has a chance to fight back. Chariot.
"what a pity."
The strings vibrated with a flowing sound, and a fearless smile made a firm assertion.
"No one can win me in my piano."
The melodious sound of the piano suddenly changed, the melody of "S?kkij?rven.polkka" relaxed, and the folk music originally played by the accordion was still played by the Kantele. The cheerful, light piano sounds make the nostalgia hidden under the happy syllables more prominent.
This song was originally written to keep in mind the Karelia isthmus that was included in the Principality's territory after the winter war and continued the war. Sakjarvin is a town located in the isthmus of Karelia. Choosing polka to compose music, one is due to the nature of the Lapland people's view, and the other is to cover up the melancholy of "this hatred is without delay".
Just as people were surprised or indulged in Polka's melody, a roar of electric motors came. Under the eyes of all eyes, an armored car with a square head rose from the college moat, drawing an elegant arc in the air, crossing the red tile roof of the bungalow, and falling towards the sneaky figure after hiding in the residence. The armored giant carrying the smoothbore cannon stood on the spot, and the observation group on the chest suddenly flickered, just like a confused expression after a person encountered an unexpected thing.
In the previous sand table deduction, Prince Wang's staff almost squeezed their imagination. They expected that the students might drive the seized chariot on the moat to act as a mobile turret, or simply drive the chariot out to fight street fighting. Therefore, he deliberately put Metal Gorem into the front, posing a strong offensive posture, in order to attract the main force of the defenders and create opportunities for the commando to sneak from underground. But they could not have imagined that there was an extra chariot on hand from Her Royal Highness, and they also found a group of professional old drivers who were caught off guard when they came up.
In fact, we should not blame the high-ranking people, as the so-called "it is difficult to buy a lot of money to know, I have no idea whatsoever." These people who do not have deep contact with chariots still have the concept of chariots at the stage of "cumbersome, complicated and expensive toys that are not as reliable as war horses". It is impossible to imagine a chariot that can descend from the sky. Even within the Defense Army, most people have preconceived notions of "overweight monsters made by obsessive-compulsive patients with electric drives" in Dr. Porsche's works. Few people actually knew that the doctor actually designed the chariot as a racing car. A racing car with superior performance is bound to have a high horsepower, a fast start, and excellent maneuverability. Based on the weight of the car, the conventional transmission mechanism can fully meet the above requirements. It can be replaced by the tonnage of the chariot, which can only be achieved by powering on the transmission. So there was the Tiger P, VK4502, VK7001 and this trial assault gun.
The electric drive originally has the advantages of large torque and fast start, and its instantaneous acceleration performance is quite good. The assault gun accelerated from 0 to 70 kilometers per hour in just 2 seconds. With the help of acceleration, a beautiful leap of faith was completed. The thick muzzle pointed directly at the unprepared puppet.
The flash of flames engulfed the metal gorem, the loud noise spread with the blast, the bouncing assault guns did not stay for a moment after landing, and flicked into the alley with a smoky smoke, the metal gorem behind him staggered After walking a few steps, he fell down, and the almost empty upper body was miserably naked.
Shattered Armor-one of the main tank shells before the Defense Force became fascinated by the small-caliber high-speed tank guns. Like armor-piercing shells, it relies on chemical kinetic energy instead of destroying tanks at high initial velocity. However, unlike armor-piercing shells that still focus on penetrating armor, armor-shattering shells use the plastic explosives built into the warhead to attach to the surface of the armor. The stress wave is transmitted inside, so that the inner layer of the armor is cracked and peeled off, and the debris with kinetic energy is turned into a shotgun flying around in the interior space of the vehicle, killing the personnel in the vehicle and damaging the equipment. In addition to attacking tanks, it can also be used to destroy fortifications.
But this multi-purpose bomb quickly withdrew from the main line position. The reason is that shattered armor is basically only effective for homogeneous steel armor. When encountering targets of different materials stacked and mixed, the stress waves cannot overlap, and the effect is not obvious. In addition, the tricks to deal with armor piercing shells-such as additional armor, grille and other measures are also effective for shattered shells. The most terrible thing is that the shattered shells want to fully exert their power, the charge must be enough, and the weight should not be too light. Take the 120mm gun as an example, the warhead + propellant pack weighs more than 100 kg. In addition, it is divided into bombs, one shot, you must first install the warhead, and then charge the cartridge, press stably, send the bore, close the gate, lock the edge, open the gun...After the shot is finished, release the lock, open the gate, use the pass The article poke out the residue of the unburned medicine package, and then repeat the above process... The whole process is cumbersome and dead, not to mention, the tragedy of the rate of fire to the fastest and fastest will take 2 shots in one minute. The thought of a "barrier" technique or a few pieces of rotten iron skin may invalidate the shells. A few shells will kill the gunner and the loader. If you can't hold the shells accidentally, the tank will perform the flying turret on its own. Of course, the Defense Force was not interested in a large number of equipment, so it turned around and engaged in small-caliber high-speed tank guns, loader and new armor-piercing projectiles. Armor shattering and armor breaking bullets have all become incidental types.
Although it is the obsolete goods that have been brushed down, that is the standard of the OCD patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The 120mm shredded armor meant only one thing to metal golem—destruction. In order to lower the center of gravity and facilitate the operation of the surgical connection, the interior of the metal gorem is not completely filled, the upper body is almost empty, and the core controlled Tianjing is half buried near the chest. At this time, the attack of the shattered armor bomb was almost launched into the soul. The broken metal fragments turned into a storm, and the sky crystal and the circuit were easily screened. The metal Gorem, who lost his power, also fluttered the street.
"One machine crash!"
Mina pushed the armor-piercing projectile equal to half of her height into the cannon, and then the girl with the full-strength operation output grabbed the loaded metal cartridge and sent it into the cannon.
It seemed that she was in a good mood to solve her opponents neatly, taking advantage of this momentum and trying to make persistent efforts to solve the remaining two Golems in one go.
The opponents apparently did not want them to win easily.
"Nico, turn left."
Without a moment of hesitation, Nicole stepped on the throttle and slammed the steering wheel hard. The assault gun, which lifted up the white-brown dust and debris, flicked like a gyro, marking the perfect fan-shaped rear of the car and the wiping sword. Pass by.
The centrifugal force of flicking the tail puts Mina holding the shell tightly against the turret armor. Nicole, who is holding the steering wheel, also feels the pressure of the whole body's blood flowing to the left. Just to avoid being thrown off, let these two People are suffering.
"The action is fast."
With her eyes closed slightly, Mika, who was sitting firmly in the captain's seat, continued to fiddle with the strings. The changes around her seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she couldn't even leave her away from the melody for a moment.
"Can Gorem run? Charlemagne also made something very interesting, just--"
Accelerating Cyclonus's assault gun roared and turned right, and it took only 10 seconds to kill Golem behind him. The stupid metal puppet seemed to find the abnormality behind him, and he hurriedly turned to meet the enemy. However, because the center of gravity is too low, and at full speed, although the speed is only 10 kilometers per hour, the inertial acceleration still acts on the metal gorem that the center of gravity is greatly shifted to one side due to the turn, resulting in a high leg Lifted high, the body tilted sharply, and the unprotected crotch was facing the muzzle of the 120mm gun...
The fireball exploded between the metal human-shaped strands, the metal jet penetrated the top of the head from the lower abdomen, the steel nail stomach swelled quickly, then burst and exploded, and the remaining hands and feet twitched a few times, the Gorem also fell silent.
Only one left.
As if seizing the moment when I felt about to win, the last Gorem rushed out of the corner of the alley at this time, and saw that it carried the already loaded smoothbore gun and aimed at the chariot in front of him—
what--? !
The magician who controls the metal golem only has time to question.
The ascending car was hit by the highest speed assault cannon on the debris hill~EbookFREE.me~ It was pushed up by the acceleration, and then the whole car fell suddenly like a cannonball. The muzzle of the black hole was Golem's shared vision is getting bigger and bigger-
"Tulta."
Fiddled with the last note, the muzzle burst out a flash of light, the concrete destruction bomb hit the top of the metal Grem, the huge kinetic energy pressed the metal into a flat shape, and the flame spewed out from the gap. The explosion sounded through the street, and the airflow wrapped around the debris and pounded the assault gun's armor.
"It's finally done, and then look forward to their struggle with Her Royal Highness."
Gently plucked the strings, the ripples of the clear sound swayed, and the invisible waves slammed against the masonry of the streets and the crowds that fled, and they were re-reflected into Mika's ears. It was confirmed that the troops attacking the main entrance began to retreat, and the underground battle was also coming to an end. Mika's eyes were kept slightly closed, and she squinted to glance at the shells of the empty shells. Labelled military food, the Countess of Lapland showed a charming smile.
The assault gun circumvented the burning debris and ran wildly with joy, disappearing in the streets of Rudes only a moment later. (.)
