Release that Witch Chapter 1346: Letter from Tilly

Greycastle, Neverwinter City. Novel.

Roland couldn't help clenching his fists after reading the report records sent back from the front line.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Nightingale on the side noticed his change.

"No ... nothing," he leaned back, exhaling, "everyone's performance exceeded my imagination, I'm just happy."

"Really?" Nightingale startled, then smiled, "It seems they are all working hard."

"Yes," Roland got up and poured two cups of Chaos Drink, and handed one to Nightingale. "They did work very hard ..."

This is not a word to deal with casually, but his true thoughts of bottom of heart at this moment. If he did not come all the way in person, he would be difficult to associate the current First Army with the original border guard with a wooden gun.

Eight days of high-intensity combat, strategic retreat that can still maintain the formation, cover cooperation in air-to-ground operations, and active search for the key will to win on the battlefield all prove how strong this army is growing. amazing. In addition, Dawn's strong cooperation and relocation of democratic movements left to assist the army's logistics, and also allowed him to see the transformation of humanity as a whole.

The most pleasant surprise for Roland is Edith.

Although many of her previous actions have long shown her extraordinary beauty, this time the unexpected joy can be said to be more than before.

Using the powerful carrying capacity of the steam truck, the mobile operation was carried out in the territory of Wolf Heart, and the characteristics of the long range and great power of the stronghold artillery were fully exerted. This has faintly gained the style of Lightning.

Not to mention the active withdrawal from the city, which made the enemy ’s extended defense line full of loopholes, and then attacked its weak points with a high mobility force.

First Army can destroy a large number of living forces of Devil at such a small cost, and they can stay at a pace of two to three hundred kilometers outside the red mist area. The chief staff's merit is undoubtedly the most significant one.

Although Roland and Pearl of the Northern Lands have talked about their views on the future form of war and the evolution of mechanical equipment to the situation of war, it does not involve the specific "armored vehicles" of the type of equipment, which he still looks like a tractor. Stay in the factory. The Edith can be associated with a truck for carrying, and this vision is absolutely cross-era.

Individual and collective powers are combined to achieve this hard-won victory.

Devil's actions are now firmly restrained, and First Army's newly recruited soldiers and supplies are constantly being transported to the front line through arterial road.

When the savings are reached, the real counterattack will begin.

Roland and Nightingale clink slightly.

Human power is shining at a moment.

...

After drinking, he returned to his desk.

According to First Army reporting conventions, after the good news, there are various problems with expose.

These problems can often only be solved by him.

For example, it comes with high intensity maneuvers, which is a distressing loss.

The report puts this in the first place. Due to the uncertainty on the battlefield, the longer the crew members stay around the faulty vehicle, the greater the risk. In the situation, which lacks tools and a repair environment, two people can only deal with simple failures such as punctured tires and water leaks at most. It is almost helpless to face two relatively easy problems with the suspension and the transmission system. Therefore, most steam trucks can only unload magic cube after leaving anchor, and the car body is discarded on the battlefield.

Since the launch of Devil ’s full-scale attack, there have been as many as 15 lost trucks on the front line. If it is not necessary to maintain the operation of arterial road, Roland suspects that Edith will transfer all vehicles to Wolf Heart.

To improve this situation, First Army not only needs a special support force, but also has to establish related repair and maintenance sites, just like Aerial Knight. Battlefield maintenance vehicles and trailers are undoubtedly also a must-have item for production.

He once again clearly felt that trying to put these large machines on the battlefield is not just simple. The natural resource and money devoured behind them are not even affordable by a separate kingdom.

In addition to applying for more steam trucks, senior military personnel have also expressed their strong desire for 75mm field guns and general machine guns. All statistics show that their joining has significantly improved the fire projection level of First Army, if not Except for the need to consume a lot of ammunition, they are almost a perfect weapon.

For this summary of "seemingly touting, but actually asking for money", Roland was very moved, and then approved the army's application.

Turning to the end of the report is a letter from Tilly.

He guessed that the content was probably the same as that of the military. Either it was urging for a special machine or it was asking for more The Skyfire.

Brother, long time no see.

You shouldn't forget to promise me, right?

Now Devil's offensive has gradually weakened. This year, Months of Demons can basically spend it safely. I will take the time to return to Neverwinter City. I hope that I can see what it looks like at that time.

Sure enough, Roland couldn't help but hold his forehead, and knew it would happen.

Fortunately, the overall structure of the special machine has already been around, and he really needs Tilly to verify the feasibility of the new body.

But what the other person said was very different from what he thought.

Tilly used a large amount of space to describe the deficiencies of The Skyfire in actual combat, and even thought that the production of The Skyfire should be temporarily suspended, and the construction should be started after the improvement was completed. The biggest problem is the two-seater.

After synthesizing the summary and results of all Aerial Knights, she found that only one of the sixty-five Dread Beasts who could confirm the shooter came from the backseat shooter.

The reason is also very obvious, that is, in close range killing, the enemy does not need to bite the tail for a long time like the biplane. The wild demon's spear is equivalent to a crossbow gun with a pitch angle of -90 to 90 degrees, covering 270 degrees directly in front. As long as the distance is sufficient, it can attack on the top and abdomen of the The Skyfire. In fact, they often drill into these dead ends. Position, making the backseat shooter helpless.

Even if the enemy is in the machine gun firing range, the shooter is difficult to determine the relative distance of the target in the air without a reference object. In addition, the flight path of the aircraft cannot be predicted. The hit rate of 100 meters away is pitifully low, often hitting. After returning all the bullets, he failed to hit an enemy.

Similarly, when the The Skyfire is firing on a ground target, the rear seat can only find such a short shooting opportunity when it is pulled up.

The weight of occupants, weapon, ammunition, and cockpit protection is real. At the same time, in order to adapt to flying, both front and rear people need to complete a full set of driving training, which also makes the rear seat machine gun a very low cost performance. Tilly bluntly mentioned in the letter that it is more like a design mistake. If the rear cockpit is cancelled, not only the number of Aerial Knight can be doubled immediately, but the saved weight can also be applied elsewhere.

Like more oil.

Like a small bomb.

All in all, even if there is no way to produce an improved version of The Skyfire immediately, at least the rear seat must be covered with a skin.

Roland couldn't help grinning after closing the letter. He could fully imagine that Tilly complained when he complained. Although it is quite helpless to criticize one's own design, compared to the reference material in the dream world, the actual summary of the former is obviously more worthy of priority.

Just as he was about to pull out the previous The Skyfire drawing for revision, the phone with the label of the Executive Office rang.

Roland picked up the handset, and soon there was a sound of excitement from Barov.

"Your Majesty, your tower project is complete."
