- After bidding farewell to the black bear, Zhao Hongyu took Wang Shan and the others back to their yurt.
The three genetic men guarding Manhattan Island were also transferred back at this time. Zhao Hongyu's fifteen subordinates are all gathered together. This is the greatest power that Zhao Hongyu can use.
When Zhao Hongyu had several million, he considered whether to add more manpower or develop a flintlock gun.
In the end, after some decision-making, Zhao Hongyu chose to increase manpower.
Although the flintlock gun can bring him great profits, who will he sell it to?
Selling it to Indians will make him very insecure.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu does not have many men, and he has not yet solved the problem of self-protection.
If you sell a "high-tech" weapon like a flintlock to the Indians, God knows what will happen. It's not that Zhao Hongyu is too careful. Sometimes he has to consider many issues, especially when it comes to his own safety.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu finally chose to increase his manpower.
Strictly speaking, the research cost of three million is not much at all, but Zhao Hongyu knows that flintlock guns must not appear in the world until he has absolute suppression power.
"There are now a total of seventy-eight immigration camps in Virginia. The smallest camp has more than 300 people, and the largest camp has 3,000 people." After all his men sat down, Wang Shan first reported the report. .
"Let's put this matter aside for now. What we need to do right now is to kill Baker's gang and keep the secret of gold." Zhao Hongyu interrupted Wang Shan's words and glanced at the faces of his subordinates. while reminding them of the most important things right now.
Being interrupted by Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan did not react much. He just shrugged helplessly.
"We can ambush halfway, and if we attack suddenly, we can kill half of them in the first time." Song Hu, the most militant among the genetic people and the guy with the strongest combat skills, suggested.
Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly and said: "This is a good suggestion. We can ambush them halfway. In the era of cold weapons, ambush is a good way. After all, we are at a disadvantage due to our small number, so we still have the effective strength to destroy the enemy in a short time. OK."
Zhao Hongyu still agreed with Song Hu's proposal.
For some unknown reason, among the fifteen genetic humans, only Wang Shan, Song Hu, and Zhang Tie have relatively high intelligence, and they can talk like normal people.
??????????????????????????? The twelve newly added gene people are a bit dull and must have orders to execute. They don¡¯t have any opinions of their own, let alone give any suggestions.
Therefore, the twelve genetic people can just pretend that they don¡¯t exist. The main thing is to look at Wang Shan¡¯s suggestions.
"Song Hu's proposal is good, but we must not forget that we cannot be too optimistic in the cold and fighting times. Now we are short of manpower, but we cannot afford losses." After analyzing it, Wang Shan interjected. .
"There are sixteen people on our side. Even if the first wave of attacks is effective and can eliminate sixteen people on the other side, the enemy will still have eighteen new troops. We are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. This is something that has to be considered." , Wang Shan paused here, and then continued: "And please don't forget, our first wave of attacks cannot kill all sixteen people, at most they will only be injured, so we have to consider these people Still capable of fighting.¡±
Being reminded by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu, who was originally a little optimistic, calmed down.
He thought to himself: Yes, what Wang Shan said was not wrong at all. In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible for our attack to kill all sixteen people in the first time. Moreover, people in this era have good physical fitness. Even if they are injured, they still have a certain fighting capacity. At the same time, the opponent still has an advantage over us in terms of numbers. This is very troublesome.
"Leader, if that doesn't work, let's use a matchlock gun. A long-distance attack should be able to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy and reduce our losses in close combat." Zhang Tie suggested.
After listening to Zhang Tie¡¯s suggestion, Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhao Hongyu shook their heads. The accuracy of the matchlock gun of the seventeenth century was really poor. It was not very useful in a battle. It was fine to use it to intimidate and frighten the enemy, but it was still very unreliable to expect the matchlock gun to kill people.
Even in the Napoleonic era, the flintlock + queuing party was actually not that scary.
Zhao Hongyu still remembers that he once took a popular science film, which mentioned this matter.
In Napoleon¡¯s time,The so-called elite soldiers are actually composed of people who are courageous and will not be afraid of seeing the other party shooting. Because in that era, the hit rate of flintlock guns was only a pitiful 5%, and these 5% could only be hit by bad luck.
Normally, at a close range of about twenty meters, it is impossible for lead bullets to hit the enemy. But God doesn't know where it flew, and its hit rate was simply pitiful.
Of course, unless you are really unlucky, or your opponent is extremely lucky, that is another matter.
The reason why queuing parties appear is mainly to make up for the problem of insufficient hit rate.
Think about it, if so many people line up and fire guns together, there will always be one or two lead bullets that hit the enemy.
In fact, clues to this matter can also be seen in some films.
¡°In some American blockbusters in the 21st century, those depicting the American Revolutionary War will have scenes of queuing up. Often, the audience can see the scene where both sides line up to fire off guns, and as a result, at most two or three people from each team fall down.
This shows what?
This is why the hit rate is too low.
You know, by the time of the American Revolutionary War, it was already the 18th century. It was more than a hundred years more advanced than the era Zhao Hongyu lived in, but the firearms at that time were also so miserable.
As for the hit rate of the more ancient matchlock gun, it goes without saying.
At the same time, the weight of the matchlock gun is simply extremely heavy compared to the flintlock gun. It's not a weapon of choice at all. Instead of choosing a matchlock gun, it would be better to use a cold weapon.
"Get rid of this idea of ??yours. The matchlock gun is simply a burden. We might as well not use it." Wang Shan rolled his eyes at Zhang Tie, making Zhang Tie know that his proposal was not good by looking at everyone's expressions. So 'hehe' smiled sheepishly.
"If it doesn't work, chief, please get some flintlock guns. They should at least be more useful than matchlock guns." In the end, Zhang Tie was unwilling to give up a suggestion.
Since the matchlock gun is not good, then use the flintlock gun. Generally speaking, the flintlock gun is not easy to use, but it is always much stronger than the matchlock gun, right?
Zhao Hongyu fell silent. He was quickly weighing the disadvantages and advantages.
Yes, the matchlock gun cannot be used, but can the flintlock gun be used?
¡°Obviously, if you want to kill Baker and his gang, you must use firearms. Without the use of firearms, it is obviously unrealistic to kill them without paying some price.
But the question is, if you take out a flintlock gun, what should you say if the Mohicans ask?
This weapon is much easier to use than the matchlock gun, and the Mohicans will definitely be very interested in it. So did I sell it to them? These are all issues to consider.
If this kind of weapon is sold to the Mohicans, then the strength of the Mohicans will definitely expand rapidly, and it will not be good if it brings danger to themselves.
What Zhao Hongyu hates the most is this kind of uncontrollable factor, which is very annoying.
Then, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t hide anything and told everyone all the things he was worried about.
After hearing Zhao Hongyu¡¯s worries, Wang Shan and the others fell into silence, thinking and analyzing in their own hearts.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The twelve dull genetic people who are different from the three Wang Shan still look so heartless, sitting there with stern faces, waiting for orders and then executing them themselves.
Damn it, it seems that the most reliable ones are Wang Shan and the others. I don¡¯t know how this time and space trader works, and this situation still happens.
Zhao Hongyu kept complaining in his heart.
Yes, many aspects of this space-time trader are illogical, and Zhao Hongyu still hasn¡¯t figured out what¡¯s going on.
The more unclear he became, the more uneasy Zhao Hongyu became. He hated feeling like this because he felt like he had no idea.
However, this matter is really beyond his control.
For example, Wang Shan and the others are different from the twelve genetic people who purchased them later, and you could buy cigarettes using the space-time trader at the beginning, but now you can¡¯t buy them at all, etc
It seems that when I have time, I need to 'dig' this 'artifact' of my own. Zhao Hongyu thought about it secretly in his heart and made a decision at the same time.
"The leader's worry is not unreasonable. When we are not strong enough, it is really unwise to expose this kind of weapon."??Whether we sell or not sell, it is not good for us. ", just when Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, Wang Shan interrupted his thoughts.
"Oh, tell me what you think?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
Song Hu and Zhang Tie also turned their attention, and everyone looked at Wang Shan together.
"This is what I think." Seeing Zhao Hongyu ask, Wang Shan organized his thoughts and began to answer. "If we don't sell it to the Mohicans, they will have opinions about us, and if we sell it to them, we won't be safe. So I think it's better not to expose this weapon, and try to use it when we haven't developed it. Cold weapons are the best."
Zhao Hongyu nodded secretly and sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he felt like he was carrying a treasure but couldn't use it, which really made him very unhappy.
"Let's find Black Bear. I guess he can provide some manpower!" Finally, Wang Shan gave the most appropriate suggestion.
