I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 60 Military Reform (Part )

The recharge system was opened. When did it happen?

Lin Ruoyu and the other nine players were surprised when they opened their personal systems. Only then did they realize that the recharge system was really turned on.

Lin Ruoyu quickly flipped through his update log. He realized then that the game had completed an unannounced online update an hour ago. The update included the "opening of the currency recharge function after creating/joining a group."

And this thing?
Lin Ruoyu's first reaction was that the game planners were encouraging players to create teams and then play the game together.

My second reaction was… what game recharge system has been opened? I’m going to spend my money like crazy!!!

Lin Ruoyu quickly opened his bank account, recharged 100,000 yuan into the game, and received 10,000 silver dollars.

The other nine players also joined in spending money, some of them spending a small amount, some a large amount, and in an instant they created nearly seven-digit game revenue for Baihu Game Studio.

The Ultramarines had nearly one million in chapter funds.

Lin Ruoyu immediately used his own reputation and that of other players to hire three instructors, and then started shopping.

"I want to buy equipment."

"This is the equipment the Chapter can currently purchase."

The quartermaster handed some documents with pictures on them to Lin Ruoyu and others. They took them and began to look through them.

Bohemian Empire heavy matchlock gun... skip it, don't look at this kind of garbage. Although it is cheap, this thing is really not easy to use.

If it weren't for the game restrictions, saying that making weapons that are beyond the game background will affect the fun of playing, players would really want to make their own weapons.

Lin Ruoyu continued to read.

Oh, besides the matchlock gun, there is also a flintlock gun. Let me see the specific data.

The Chris heavy infantry flintlock rifle is 1.5 meters long, equipped with a double-ended cleaning rod and a 35-centimeter-long bayonet. After installing the bayonet, the entire rifle is 1.85 meters long.

The Chris heavy flintlock rifle weighs 7.5 kilograms in full combat state, has an outer diameter of 22 mm, an inner bore of 18 mm, a wall thickness of 2 mm, an effective range of 130 meters, and a maximum range of 260 meters.

Armor penetration: Excellent, lethality: Excellent, rate of fire: Excellent.

Introduction: The Chris Heavy Infantry Flintlock, Model 1, is an excellent infantry musket. It has an enlarged firing hole to facilitate the flow of gunpowder into the fire bowl, thus simplifying the charging process. The entire process is as follows:
1: Pull down the hammer and replace the firing cap.

2: Bite off the paper bullet and pour the gunpowder and bullet into the gun chamber.

3: Pull out the double-ended all-iron gun barrel and insert the ammunition without turning it over. The gunpowder will flow into the gunpowder pool during the process.

4: After stabbing, put the gun rod in place, aim, and fire.

Skilled infantryman, can fire four times in one minute.

Wow, this heavy flintlock rifle looks pretty good based on the data. So how much does it cost?

Lin Ruoyu read the end of the introduction.

Chris Heavy Infantry Flintlock Rifle: Fifty dollars.

Fifty yuan, is this price expensive or cheap?

Lin Ruoyu thought about it for a moment and gave up the idea. He continued reading.

After the heavy flintlock, there is the light flintlock, one meter and three meters long, priced at 40 yuan, the cavalry flintlock, one meter and one meter long, priced at 40 yuan, and the officer's flintlock pistol, thirty centimeters long, priced at 30 yuan.

In addition to the flintlock rifles, Lin Ruoyu and the nine other players also discovered the presence of artillery. The Tiger Crouching Cannon weighed twelve kilograms and had a maximum range of 300 meters for direct fire, with an effective range of 200 meters; and a maximum range of 500 meters for indirect fire, with an effective range of 400 meters.

Can fire shotgun and live ammunition.

Tiger squatting cannon, priced at one thousand yuan.

This is the only type of artillery on the arsenal's weapons sales list, and the purchase quantity is limited. A regiment can currently only purchase one Tiger Crouching Cannon.

Chris bought modern steel pipes and springs for the flintlock rifles online, and had the other parts made by hand by the blacksmith. The tiger squat cannon was no exception, and was modified with custom hydraulic cylinder tubes.
After looking at these weapons, Lin Ruoyu turned around and discussed with them.

"Tell me, how should our regiment deploy its weapons?"

"We must buy artillery. The Tiger Crouching Cannon is the only field artillery we can currently purchase. Field operations depend entirely on it.

Besides, it weighs only 12 kilograms, so one person can carry it while running, and it’s no problem to do mountain maneuvers.”

"What about the flintlock?"

"There are only about a hundred NPC soldiers in the Ultramarines Chapter right now. They're not many. Let's give them heavy flintlock rifles and try it out first."

"That makes sense. Come and vote."

The ten leaders within the Ultramarines Chapter had a brief discussion and held a small internal meeting, and then decided to equip the NPC soldiers with heavy flintlock rifles.

After Chris's heavy flintlock rifle was equipped with a bayonet, it was 7.5 meters long and weighed kilograms. It was lighter than the average cold weapon rifle and more than half lighter than the previous octagonal matchlock rifle. It was worth trying it out first.

Soldiers equipped with this flintlock rifle can use it as a short spear when close combat is needed. If they have armor, the neatly arranged team can engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's cold weapon team.

With this idea in mind, Lin Ruoyu decided to continue shopping and purchase armor for the players and infantry of the regiment.

Any equipment needs to be determined according to the combat environment. Lin Ruoyu inferred from the common terrain of the Kingdom of Bagnia that the Ultramarines will definitely experience a lot of mountain warfare in the future.

Therefore, when it came to choosing protective gear, Lin Ruoyu persuaded other players and decided to buy lightweight armor.

In fact, players have little choice in protective gear, because Chris only provides two types of protection, that is, the British steel helmet from World War I, which has a brim and provides shelter from rain and sun.

The armor is a breastplate made of two steel plates hammered together and sewn together. Cavalry and infantry are treated equally. Apart from the difference in size, the three-quarter breastplate has the same thickness and style.

The helmet is twenty yuan and the breastplate is fifty yuan.

There's no way around it. Chris considered the current size of the defense force and thought there was no need to make the equipment too fancy; it would be fine as long as it was sufficient.

If players need to show off a little more, they can buy steel raw materials from the armament department and then ask a blacksmith to make custom equipment for them.

In fact, after this day, when many players learned that they could recharge, they rushed to the Armament Department to buy steel raw materials and spent silver dollars to ask the blacksmith in Biqi Town to make equipment.

As for whether the silver dollars can be spent...

When the townspeople tried to use a silver dollar and a food coupon to buy a ten-pound bag of grains from the supply and marketing cooperative set up by Chris in the town, they quickly accepted this currency.

After a round of selection, the Ultramarines spent an afternoon and 20,000 silver dollars to purchase a large number of combat, living equipment, and military equipment to complete the armament of the regiment.

Twenty thousand silver dollars was not a lot. In fact, if Chris had not stipulated that there would be sponsorship and discounts for the regiment's shopping, players who wanted to prepare all these weapons and equipment would have to pay at least one hundred and fifty thousand silver coins in the Bohemian Empire.

　PS: The weapon and equipment data is what I imagined after reading some information. Don’t take it too seriously, because if you do, there will be problems everywhere and I can’t explain them.
