Chapter 185 105Mm Rear-Loading Rifled Gun, The Ironclad Ship Of The Confederate States 【5/5 For Auto
Prouker Empire, White Jade Palace.
When Ulysses received the news from Austin, the corners of Ulysses' mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Because the sudden impact was too great, and the distance between the Kingdom of Chirjaron and the Holy Kingdom of Saint Antines was too close.
The horse-drawn carriage team on the road, and the sea fleet go back and forth, and the goods can be packed and shipped as soon as they are produced from the textile factory.
The hand-woven textile industry on the side of the Theocracy is not given a chance to breathe.
With one punch and eight punches, in just over two months, he provoked a warning from the senior officials of the Divine Church.
"Hehe, since our Majesty Zelio has a grudge with the other party, as an ally, he must provide support anyway, and send someone to inform the Golden Island that the batch of obsolete flintlock guns that have been sealed up have new owners. gone."
"Send the fleet to the Kingdom of Chirjalong, and tell Austin that the religion is powerful in the country, and in order to gain a firm foothold in the future, we need His Majesty Zelio to kick those people's butts hard to make them be more honest."
Ulysses said those words in a contemptuous tone.
Reporting in a letter from Austin across the ocean.
In addition to the profit summary of the first and second months of the East Continent Company itself, it is the matter that the senior management of the Qierjialong Kingdom is planning to have a touch with the God Kingdom recently.
The Qierjialong Kingdom, which occupies 19% of the shares, can get nearly 1.4 million gold coins in two months. As for the Prouker Empire, it is directly more than 7.3 million gold coins.
However, Ulysses did not send these gold coins back to 25 countries.
Instead, it was secretly sent to Golden Island, where part of the gold was extracted.
Send the refined gold back to the country, as for the "worthless" gold coins.
It will be sold through the eyeliners and intelligence personnel of the Prouker Empire in the Shengdong Continent.
With these cheap gold coins, they established intelligence networks one by one for the Prouker Empire, investigated the information of officials from various countries, and investigated the industrial conditions and resource distribution of each country.
However, compared to the calmness of Ulysses.
Hector, King of Timisia, and Sofia, Queen of Veronese's Golden Feather, who were both in Ulysses' office at the moment, looked at their respective dividends in their hands.
Each eyeball was about to pop out.
Ulysses glanced at Sofia at this moment, and shook his head speechlessly.
"I said, Your Majesty, why did you follow us to see the world at the beginning, so that you can make more profits, just like this?"
So Fia looked up, took a deep breath and rolled her eyes at Ulysses.
She naturally knew what Ulysses meant by "seeing the world" in his mouth, wasn't it the time to fish for gold from the gold coins of various countries.
But that kind of thing can't be compared with the dividends of Dongdalu Company, it is a one-shot deal.
Even if Suo Fia was sure that the Ulysses and the others were still doing this kind of business secretly, it was difficult for him to ask him to bring him along.
However, the dividends of Dongdalu Company are different.
Veronie's 17% stake in the Golden Feather Kingdom, after two months, is more than one million gold coins!
"Hmph, how can our little Kingdom of Veronese Golden Feather compare with your Majesty Prouker's huge empire? More than one million gold coins are enough for us to build several railways.
"It's a pity, no matter how good the gold coin is, it's already in your pocket before it's warmed up..."
As he said that, So Fia shook his head helplessly and threw the document aside.
Just now, she had already signed an agreement to let Sango, the representative of the East Continent Company, directly transfer the dividends to the account of the Prouker Empire.
In exchange, the Prouker Empire helped build the railway from the Kingdom of Veronese's Golden Feather to the new territory of Toulouse.
Now that the railway from Veroni's Golden Feather King Capital to the Prouker Empire's Blue Sea City has been completed and put into operation, the number of times Sophia came to the Prouker Empire has become more and more frequent.
With a comfortable special train compartment, while sleeping, I rushed from Veroni Golden Feather King to the city of Salamandis.
As for the Veronese Golden Feather Kingdom, these days, it also relies on the railway that connects with the Prouker Empire's railway network to speed up a lot of commercial flows.
But while the two were talking, they noticed Hector who seemed to be dumbfounded.
At this moment, the old guy stared blankly at the report document in his hand.
That demeanor seemed to have lost his memory and his mind went blank.
"Ahem, His Majesty Hector, what are you thinking? Are you all right?"
Ulysses coughed lightly, the latter finally came back to his senses, moved his eyes away from the report document with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful, his face was full of disbelief.
"It's only been two months, and my Kingdom of Timisia has hardly produced anything, yet I've earned a million gold coins?!"
"This, this is too dreamy..."
Ulysses smiled slightly.
"This is the charm of industry. In the past, the time required to weave a piece of cloth by hand is enough for us to weave dozens of pieces of high-quality cloth through industrial machinery.
"When those handicraft industries lose their market competitiveness, the market will only be swallowed by us. 11
"It's a monopoly, so it's natural to earn more..."
Ulysses said it easily, but Hector shook his head again and again in shock.
After a long while, he finally took a deep breath with a smile on his face.
"Similar to His Majesty Sofia in the Kingdom of Timisia, we have invested all of these dividends in the construction of our country's ports and shipyards. By the way, I hope that your country's Mini rifles can be sold to us. That kind of artillery."
"Recently, perhaps because the ties between our two countries have become closer, the allied countries, which were already wary of us, have also begun to target Timisia. The neighboring Principality of Di Carl is also building a defense line.
Ulysses directly agreed with a happy nod.
As for the Confederate defense line, the Ulysses never paid much attention to it.
Wait until Hector's side signs the agreement and leaves contentedly.
So Fia is very charming, her upper body is slightly leaning towards Ulysses, and her height is just right.
"Now Veronie Golden Feather has two hundred cannons. It seems that you must have more powerful cannons. Although you can't sell them, you can show them to me, right?"
Ulysses' gaze changed instantly.
"You, I said artillery!"
Ulysses nodded, stood up slowly, gazed aggressively, smiled dangerously, and nodded.
"That's right, I know what you're talking about is artillery, that kind of artillery that is big, powerful, and hot. Since you want to see it, with our relationship, of course I won't hide it."
..."
Seeing that Sofia was about to flee again [Ulysses finally put each other in.
He raised his eyebrows.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my Prouker's latest artillery, and see if our Majesty Sofia can go back and research it by himself."
Suo Fia snorted softly, never hiding her purpose, and she is here with Ulysses, there is no need to hide.
Soon the two of them rode in a carriage and came to the outskirts of the city, in the dense forest camp near the snowy area of Camberusos.
Passing several guards and sentry posts along the way, after Sofia entered the barracks, he immediately saw three or four cannons placed in the open space with their guns raised high.
"This, this artillery does not seem to be simple. Compared with the artillery you sold to us, the barrel is thicker."
Ulysses glanced at Sofia appreciatively, this woman now also knows the joy of a thick cannon.
"When the first generation of artillery was produced, it was a front-loading smoothbore gun. Its power and accuracy were still limited, and the process was very cumbersome, but the one you see now, a 105mm breech-loading rifle gun, is in this era. , can be called the existence of heavy artillery."
"Great power, long range, high rate of fire, and long service life."
340 Ulysses said, and immediately called several artillerymen to the artillery testing ground.
Under Sofia's curious gaze, the artilleryman brought out a shell that was obviously different from today's style.
Like a spherical trophy on a pedestal.
A member of the artillery crew quickly twisted the screw bolt on the back of the gun, pushed the strange shell into it, and then tightened the bolt.
As the people on the side gave the order to fire.
"Boom!"
After the huge roar, there was an intense explosion immediately on the edge of a cliff more than a thousand meters away.
From a distance, a cloud of smoke and dust can be seen.
The gun crew quickly twisted the gun bolt, then cleaned the inside of the gun body with a wooden stick, reloaded a shell, and tightened the gun bolt...
"Boom!"
In just three minutes or so, another shell was fired.
Ulysses looked at the shocked Sofia with a faint smile on his face.
The Veronese Golden Feather Kingdom now has a certain industrial foundation, but it seems that some important industrial machine tools, such as the boring machine for scoring the rifle barrel, are not available to them.
And without a sufficient foundation in materials science, this kind of equipment is simply impossible for them to make.
However, this rifled gun is not without its shortcomings, not to mention anything else, it was quite laborious for the artilleryman to twist the bolt at the back just now, and the gun cannot adjust the angle due to its heavier weight.
When launching, it is necessary to be equipped with a hard base.....
So Fia looked around the cannon enviously, but at this moment Ulysses had developed some dislike for the cannon.
At this moment, Ezio, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau, rushed over.
At the same time, there was another thing that surprised Ulysses slightly.
"The Allies have created an ironclad ship in the inland river in the south of the Kingdom of Al!"
