"Barrel calibration —"
"Angle calibration complete!"
"Control panel adjustment complete!"
"Load normal — can be started!"
Amidst the rumbling sound, the cannon drove to the designated parking area not far away. Roddy looked carefully and confirmed that the heat dissipation array and the individual cannonball replacement device were new things he had never seen before.
After becoming the prime minister, Roddy could no longer go through the numerous projects one by one. But since Kardashian approved the production, it meant that this thing was absolutely reliable. And the current war was actually more like a "weapon testing ground" for the army of the Kingdom of Karen. Not only the cannon, but also countless new weapons and equipment were waiting to be tested.
Although it was inevitable that many people would have to be sacrificed, the army had to quickly evolve and transform in order to have a greater advantage in the future. Whether it was against other countries or enemies from other planes, Rody's ultimate goal was to crush them with superior weapons.
He looked up at the starry sky above his head and suddenly thought of a question. Could sorcerers … launch satellites into the sky?
With satellites, there would be GPS. This way, whether it was on land, sea, or air, they could directly enter the information age when attacking the enemy.
A reconnaissance plane streaked across the sky and flew past his field of vision. Roddy came back to his senses and felt that the "satellite" seemed a little too far away. The plane at the moment was still driven by propellers. It was still too early to talk about the "satellite orbit" level.
But when he turned his head, he saw Sodelor walking over with a set of equipment. "Prime Minister, this is a sample that the research department just gave us before they left. They said it can be used in the war …"
"Looking at your face, you seem to be in a dilemma?"
Roddy rarely saw Sodelor with a constipated look. The latter did not hide it and said with a bitter smile, "At that time, I also wanted to try out as many new weapons as possible, so I agreed to all the requirements of the research department. But I didn't expect that they would approve more than ten sets of this thing. But I don't quite know what it can be used for …"
The commander put the box the size of a school bag on the ground. Roddy could see a knob and something that looked like a phone on it. "First, tell me how to use this thing."
"It is said that within a range of five kilometers, people using this device can communicate with each other."
"F * ck?!"
Roddy couldn't help but curse, giving Sodelor a fright.
"What's wrong? Is this thing very powerful? "
Sodelor didn't quite understand. He knocked on the metal cover and said, "This thing weighs about thirty kilograms. An ordinary soldier probably wouldn't be able to carry anything else while carrying it. Moreover, every time he used it, not only did he have to plug in the charging crystal, he also had to adjust the channel before he could communicate. If he didn't adjust it properly, he wouldn't be able to hear anything. If it's used in battle, it can indeed improve the coordination between the companies, but the negative effects are also very serious … "
"No, no, no. This thing isn't just for squads."
Roddy squatted and looked closer. Touching the "walkie-talkie" of the magic world, he couldn't have been more impressed by the "research department" led by Kardashian. "I didn't intend to interfere with your attack plan, but I'm guessing that the attack you came up with right now is still based on 'planned battle', isn't it?"
"Yes. Everyone has been given a pocket watch that can accurately time the time. After we set off, we will attack strictly according to the battle plan, with the middle-level officers in charge."
Sodelor answered quickly. Compared to the model of a lord knight and squire charging separately, this was actually countless times better. It was more commonly seen in the previous world wars on Earth. Countless battles had proven the advanced nature of this method of warfare, but for a transmigrator, it was also clearly backward.
"In other words, after the battle begins, as the supreme commander, you actually can't continue to command the battle most of the time, right?"
Roddy's question hit the nail on the head, and Sodelor wasn't going to be stubborn. He readily admitted, "Apart from using specific signals, I really can't command the soldiers several kilometers away during the battle. That's why I've been focusing on the training of middle-level officers after the end of the national war, hoping that they can stay awake as much as possible after the battle begins and use their own judgment to ensure that the battle goes smoothly.
"That's the problem. No matter how well they train and learn, no one can guarantee that every judgment on the battlefield will be accurate, right?"
Roddy pointed at the square box in front of him. "But if we have this thing, the companies will form a whole during the battle and can quickly know the situation on the battlefield, effectively expanding the range of information and avoiding making wrong judgments. And that's just the most superficial advantage."
He gestured for Sodelor to follow. The two took a few steps to the side, just in time to see the huge cannon that had just been parked. "You know the power of this thing better than I do. If I'm a scout at the frontline and find an enemy camp hidden in the forest, I can instantly communicate with the artillery battery at the rear and give them the coordinates directly. If I can instantly communicate with the artillery battery at the rear and directly give them the coordinates, then there is no need for any battle plan at all. We can destroy this camp on the spot. Do you understand? "
Sodelor's eyes widened. Due to the limitations of history, most people in this world couldn't think of such a method of battle. Even in this commander's mind, 'artillery', 'engineering', 'army', and 'air force' were all separate units that needed to be discussed and planned separately. They couldn't be mixed together, otherwise it would be a mess.
But Roddy told him that if 'information' could keep up, the entire process of the battle would no longer be planned in 'hours'. Instead, new decisions could be made every second and carried out immediately!
In fact, as someone who had been on the battlefield, Sodelor naturally knew the importance of 'information'. But he had only thought of sharing information in small-scale battles and had never thought of cross-service applications. "Then … This means that it's not just the artillery, but also the air force —"
Sodelor was stunned. "That's what bombers are used for?"
"The same goes for naval cannons and aircraft carriers."
Roddy's answer opened Sodelor's mind to a whole new world. He couldn't help but breathe faster. But when he thought of the battle they were facing, he frowned. "But I'm afraid this thing can't be used in the anti-magic area."
"The anti-magic area doesn't cover the whole city. We'll know the specifics after we try it."
With that said, Sodelor knew that this was a good time to experiment. He immediately carried the huge 'walkie-talkie' and left. He had a premonition that the Kallon Kingdom's army would undergo earth-shattering changes because of this.
A few kilometers away, the residents of La Xia City didn't feel anything.
After the army led by the Thukk tribe occupied the city, although they did not start a massacre, they did collect food and civilian labor. Had it not been for the Thukk commander's achievements in defending the city, the 2,000 people would not have been able to hold the city for so long. On the surface, there were 2,000 people fighting in the city, but there were more than 4,000 laborers in the city.
Carts of supplies for defending the city were pushed to the bottom of the city wall. Commander Casley had generously given the laborers some food as compensation for the abundance of La Xia City, in order to suppress the potential civil unrest and riots. It turned out that the laborers were not that hostile. Most of them were grateful as long as they had food to eat. None of them had the slightest intention to overthrow the small number of "enemies" above their heads.
No matter what the flag of the city changed, ordinary people were timid and cherished their lives. Whether it was a religious country or a mage country, it did not make much difference to them.
Commander Kasley was very satisfied. After today's inspection, she was about to go to the dormitory next to the command center to rest. But a buzzing sound came from above and stopped her.
She went outside and looked up. There was a looming black shadow in the sky, with continuous noise hovering in her sight. She called her adjutant. "What's going on?"
"General … This thing has been here for a long time. It will leave after a while. Maybe it's some kind of creature that we've never seen before?"
"Could it be Lachman's puppet? I remember that some mages like to make these strange things. "
"According to the intelligence, those long-range catapults are probably the biggest war machines made by the puppeteers. As for those that can fly in the sky … I haven't heard of any other puppeteers except for the Floating-Space Tower."
Although Kasley's words eliminated Lachman's suspicion, she still felt that something was wrong. However, she had not encountered an attack from the sky after fighting for so long. After looking up for a while, Kasley finally gave up thinking and specifically asked about the defensive situation of the city walls. Satisfied, she said, "Prepare a team to receive the reinforcements at the north gate. When they cross the river, those Lassman bastards will definitely cause trouble. Try to make sure they don't make it back alive."
"Yes! General! "
