Act 140 Arms Sale
In addition to the difficulties in supply, the unique terrain of Yunfeng City means that reinforcements cannot cooperate with the garrison - valleys and rivers restrict the enemy's attack route, and at the same time, there is no room for mechanized troops to unfold, and both sides can only fight their own.
In addition, too long distances make air support very difficult.
Although it is still within the range of J11/16, a large amount of fuel squeezing the load of ammunition, and the bombing efficiency will be very ugly. Moreover, it takes too much time to arrive at the battlefield from the airport in Hell Valley. Long-term air cruising and waiting to call the fuel is a big problem. The efficiency of the tanker will limit the support effect.
To be honest, it would be much easier if this battle could be delayed for a year or two before fighting. When the road is repaired and the supply station is built, there will be an airport, so you won’t be afraid of fighting. But now, you can’t get effective cooperation when dragging a fragile supply line like this...
Bai Gang sighed - it seems that the upper class is determined to support the Holy Duze Empire. The oil consumed on the road by this battle light is not a decimal. If it weren't for the accumulation of some materials in the Storm Base this year, it would be unlikely to support this battle.
Therefore, it is best to delay for a while when you arrive at Yunfeng City. The longer you are, the more complete the supply line of the base will be, and the more materials and troops you accumulate, the easier it will be to fight in the end.
Just as Bai Gang was thinking about how to fight this battle, someone knocked on the door.
Baigang turned off the Pad and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the person who came was Shirne, holding a gorgeously decorated wooden box in his hand.
"Your Highness, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
"I... am here to thank you for your willingness to send troops to help Yunfeng City."
Bai Gang glanced at the box in Shierne's hand and said, "It's just that? OK, I have accepted your thanks. So is there anything else?"
Shirne hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to say, "Although I know that such a request is rude, I really can't think of any other solution, so I can only turn to you, Earl Bai."
"Please tell me, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
"The main army of the Marquis will go to Yunfeng City with your army with the White Earl. I am worried that the guards of Black Thorn Castle will become empty, so I hope you can sell us a batch of weapons."
If it is in the Holy Duze Empire, Hierne's request is indeed rude, because weapons are very important materials in troubled times, and anyone who is not well-off at hand means you may be in danger. Unless they are familiar with aristocratic allies, or those two blacksmith families who have mastered iron ore, buying weapons is quite troublesome.
As he said that, Shirne opened the box, which was full of jewelry and other things.
"I don't know if these are enough. If they are not enough, I will find a way to raise some more money."
Bai Gang laughed, very happy. He was worried about how to sell the arms out. This girl actually came to her door by herself, but Bai Gang was more surprised by the news revealed by Hierne than selling arms.
"You just said that your father would also lead the army to Yunfeng City. There are wounded people everywhere, and there are still people!? Do you want those wounded people to go to the battlefield??"
Hirne said: "It doesn't matter. Although they have injuries on their bodies, hasn't the infection been cured by your magical medicine from Lord Earl? Then the remaining problems are just left to the priest. We can visit several lords on the way and ask their priest for help in treatment."
Bai Gang slapped his head, and he only thought about hurting his muscles for a hundred days, and forgot about the magical professional priest from another world.
"Guardian, please come in."
Hearing Bai Gang's orders, the guard standing outside immediately walked in and saluted him and Shirne.
Bai Gang walked over and took a closer look at his weapons and armor.
The weapon is a spear, and the spearhead is made of iron instead of steel. It is covered with leather armor, and the outside is covered with a sleeveless mail. The woven holes are very large. You can tell at a glance that it is not a well-made thing. On the outside is a burqa painted with the Cadean family's emblem.
The soldier looked at Bai Gang in confusion. He didn't understand what was wrong. His equipment was a bit bad, but at least he had armor, right? Compared to those unarmored militias, all Duze was also very economically well-off. Marquis Kadean, who could give his ordinary infantry armor. How could he get such a good treatment if he had other lords?
Bai Gang looked around the soldier and said, "Your Highness, please take all the jewelry back. I will discuss this with the Marquis in detail."
…………………………
"I'm really sorry. It's the little girl who is reckless. Please don't be surprised by the Count."
Bai Gang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Princess Shirne is all for Duze. I admire it very much. In fact, I have to blame the Marquis for this matter. If you need weapons and armor, just tell me directly. Why don't you mention this matter?"
Kadianhou sighed and said, "Master Earl, you have helped us a lot. I am really embarrassed to make such unreasonable requests. After all, Master Earl, your army also needs weapons to fight against the dead."
In fact, the most important reason why Marquis Kadean did not mention purchasing weapons was that he was still wary of Bai Gang. He really couldn't understand why Bai Gang didn't look like a childish guy, but why did he do that kind of behavior that was almost obliged to help them, so he subconsciously did not want to deal with Bai Gang more, for fear of meeting ghosts when he walked too much at night.
But since Hierne has already proposed it, he can only give it his best.
"Marquis, you don't have to do this. There is no war on China, so there is a lot of weapons and armor. Your purchase requirements are not too much. Please wait for three days. In three days, I will let you see what you want."
"Three days!?" Marquis Kadian shouted in surprise, "How could you prepare your weapons and send them in such a short time? Even if you have that magical cart, it's too late?"
"In fact, we came to Anglia for trade. We have prepared a batch of weapons and armor long ago, and we can transport them as long as we load them."
The base has long wanted to be an arms dealer, and a large amount of cold weapons and equipment has been piled up in the warehouse for a long time.
"But...whether the time to send the letter?" As soon as he finished speaking, Marquis Kadian immediately remembered the previous conversation between him and Hierne through a drone, and then thought of a possibility, "You...you can talk from a distance!? This... is really incredible!"
"It's just a complex alchemy product." Baigang explained as simple as possible, "it can convert sound into current and then convert current into sound, and then talk to others in the distance."
