I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Chapter 247 Tiger? Tiger...Tiger!

"Panzer III heavy tank, project codename 03-Tiger."

"Main gun caliber 88mm, vehicle length 8.55m, total length with gun barrel 10.35m, frontal armor 122mm, initial self-weight 70 tons, final combat weight after anti-gravity activation 55 tons."

"The engine uses a 16-cylinder magic engine with a maximum horsepower of 1050 and a maximum speed of 65 km. It uses an integrated crystal pack for energy supply, and has a range of about 450 km. Off-road driving is expected to reduce the range by 35%. If necessary, the magic power of the shield generator can be used directly for energy supply, which increases the range by about 125 km."

The experts beside him were talking about various data. Mitia stroked his chin and looked at the big guy in front of him, which was nearly 3.5 meters tall, thinking, "Weighing 70 tons? This is probably the level of doomsday technology, right?"

"Although the maintenance is a bit cumbersome...but it is very reliable, and the main gun is also very accurate. The ammunition capacity is about 130 rounds, including 30 rounds of arrow-shaped tungsten steel armor-piercing shells, 60 rounds of shaped-charge armor-piercing shells and 40 rounds of high-explosive shells. It is easy to operate and has strong protection."

"The energy tanks are interconnected, and the magic power of its own large shield generator can completely withstand Saint-level attacks. Ordinary machines and magician spell attacks cannot shake it. The equipped arrow-shaped armor-piercing projectiles and shaped-energy armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate any known protective shields if hit head-on."

"I understand the principle, but are you sure the maintenance is only slightly cumbersome?"

Medea looked down at the staggered road wheels on the chassis. Before he started moving, he already felt the joy of logistics.

The dwarf expert adjusted his reading glasses and said, "...Yes, but the prerequisite is that it is equipped with a professionally trained body logistics corps. Using professional tools to disassemble it, the maintenance speed is not slow if the technicians are skilled."

"Because of the vertical armor, the interior space is very ample, and the vehicle body is relatively simple to manufacture, which fully meets our technical requirements for mass production."

Medea remained noncommittal. It is true that the square body of a vehicle is easier to produce, but that also depends on the situation. The body can be produced quickly but the welded turret cannot. The fastest is the cast turret, which can be mass-produced.

However, this heavy tank can be said to be completely designed for the 88 gun. It is more of a heavy artillery platform than a tank.

And she also needs to consider actual needs according to local conditions.

The tank series of the Seris Alliance are clearly divided.

The light tank has a combat weight of about 16 tons, and its main function is to provide fire support for mechanized infantry. The weight of 16 tons is suitable for most terrains, and this chassis platform is also very suitable for modification, such as amphibious tanks, anti-aircraft tanks, self-propelled artillery, multiple rocket launchers, shield field generator self-propelled platforms, etc.

Medium tanks are the main equipment of the tank division. The combat weight of 02-Sherman is about 35 tons. It fully meets the actual needs of the army in terms of battlefield breakthroughs, fire support and delivery, and resisting enemy armored units.

In fact, it is also the basis of a universal platform and can be mass-produced in modular form.

The positioning of heavy tanks is different from the first two.

Judging from the current situation faced by the Alliance, medium tanks alone are more than enough on the battlefield. No matter whether it is a body soldier or some other monster, they can't get the upper hand in front of the Sherman cluster.

The design indicators of heavy tanks can only be upgraded across classes, otherwise there is no point in producing them.

In other words, it cannot be just a simple tank, but must be designed according to the standard of an arsenal that has single-unit self-sustaining capabilities and can form an army with just one person.

The deadweight of 55 tons is the ceiling design standard given by Medea. If the weight exceeds this, she can't imagine how this thing can move in the wild.

From this perspective, the design of this tank is quite interesting. It has an 88mm anti-tank gun with more than 4500 rounds of ammunition, two Deschamps heavy machine guns with rounds of ammunition, and two multiple rocket launchers on the top.

The instantaneous burst of firepower from such a configuration would be enough to seriously inflict heavy damage on a saint if he were hit directly.

But the focus is still on the shield generator. The huge body gives it ample space to install more equipment. It has more than 100mm of steel plate protection, plus magic shield, inscription explosion anti-armor, and internal air circulation. She believes it can be used to fight the doomsday war~

"Is this a prototype? Can it move?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This is the third prototype. It has successfully completed all tests and can enter the trial production stage after slight modifications."

As the dwarf expert spoke, he called out through the intercom, and a team of six tank crew members came over in a line. At Medea's signal, several of them climbed onto the tank and got into it.

Soon, the tank, which looked like a dormant behemoth, began to roar its engine, and its huge body began to move around and fire in the test site at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its size.

Mitia also personally entered the vehicle to observe the interior. The space inside is indeed large enough. Even when equipped with a full set of mechanical auxiliary equipment and fully loaded with ammunition, the space is still spacious and the human-computer interaction is very good.

She nodded in approval, which was considered the final decision to confirm the value of the tank. The next step was to confirm the quantity of the first batch of production equipment with the military, so she didn't need to worry about that.

Given the technical standards and logistical maintenance pressure of this heavy tank, the coalition military will probably be quite cautious in purchasing it.

After all, if this thing is to be used in large-scale operations, about half of a division may have to be logistics support troops... Only troops at the level of a tank-reinforced division have the qualifications and technology.

It is highly likely that only a few elite tank divisions and the Central Guards Division can afford to equip them. Other tank divisions can only purchase and use a limited number of them, at most five or eight as the division's bottom-line weapons.

The dwarf experts at the Memrotoch Tank Factory were overjoyed. The Sherman medium tank was not a tank designed and launched by their factory, but a weapon designed by the First Tank Factory in Stark State. They only had the right to produce it.

The factory manager was often shown off his superiority by Stark's factory manager, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat.

The mining truck has eliminated the bearing transmission system and is completely driven by a magic converter, making the truck a giant mining truck, greatly improving the efficiency of the alliance's mining and transportation.

Taking advantage of the alliance's breakthrough in magic engine technology, the entire factory has been holding back their energy to make this big gamble, and now they can finally hold their heads high.

In the waters of Moseladale, a fierce naval battle had just ended.

There were many black and gray stains on Lapland's clean navy uniform. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said calmly:

"Have the damage control team report the damage as soon as possible, notify the lower level, and increase rescue efforts to rescue the comrades who fell into the water as soon as possible."

"Oh, right, compile a report on the fleet's losses immediately and report the information back to the country!"

Not far away, the huge steel body of the battleship tilted, and under the drive of gravity, the turrets on the hull moved to the same direction. The hull slowly sank into the sea. The large amount of wreckage and sailors on the water surface all told of the intensity of the battle.

Further away on the sea level, two dragon corpses hundreds of meters long were floating on the sea, and the bright red blood dyed a large area of ​​the sea red.

Chapter 248 Second Level War State

Medea was not the main player in the battle but played a supporting role. She could focus on the battle of Bezutsk and do other things at the same time. Of course, the main reason was that Seris had the upper hand.

But the goddess of light, Ifdine, was not in such a leisurely mood.

She found herself being tricked by Medea, or rather, she had not expected that the witch tribe would give Medea such strong support.

At first, she thought that with her six fanatics who had been raised to the quasi-saint level, two holy spirits who were infinitely close to the peak of sainthood, and six or seven saints supported by other countries, they would not lose even if they could not win against the Seris Alliance, which had a weaker foundation.

But what Ifdien didn't expect was that after a real fight in the small world, he found out that among the nine witches, eight were in the middle stage of saint level and one was a demigod.

There was also Mi Wei of unknown rank watching the battle from outside the world. The numerical advantage was of no significance at all in front of the witch clan.

While fighting one against two, he still had the energy to cast two magic cross-border spells at the face of the super fortress, giving them an all-round spell bombardment, which invisibly accelerated the progress of the alliance soldiers below to capture the fortress.

Even the power of the earth that the demigod witch casually stirred up was enough to trigger a shallow-source earthquake of magnitude 5 or so, temporarily changing the regional structure.

The ultimate magic that the Holy See occasionally threw at the alliance position would be blocked by the embedded shields of the medium-sized shield field launchers and Mi Wei. At worst, there was still Medea's final protection.

This scene almost made Ifdien's teeth break, but the unlimited war she mentioned first must bear all the consequences of the saint's direct intervention in the battlefield.

Medea has never had the habit of gambling on other people's character.

At the national level, contracts will only be complied with if they are beneficial to themselves. If they are found to be of no benefit to themselves, almost all countries will use them as toilet paper.

Therefore, once the size of the troops reaches the army level, there will be at least two saint-level strongmen following the group as the final guarantee.

When fighting such a high-intensity war with the Holy See, it is natural for them to be more cautious against Ifdine in case he becomes desperate. Obviously, her decision was correct.

On the other hand, the news sent back by the Moseladale fleet made Medea feel depressed when he returned to the palace after seeing the Tiger tanks.

【我方于5日下午13时25分监测到弗里尼王国，曼托哥勒帝国军队异动，并于14时40分遭遇到两头风属圣龙领头的龙属空骑兵团的突然袭击。】

[We killed all of their crew members at the cost of 1 battleship sunk, 8 lightly damaged, 35 cruisers and gunboats sunk. The Wallis Empire is suspected of participating in the war. It is recommended that the Alliance Military Department pay attention to it. ]

Mantoglier, Freeni, Wallis, if you remove Mantoglier, there will be two more belligerent countries. The current alliance situation is definitely the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the external environment of the alliance has become more severe.

Moreover, Wallis was most dependent on and good at fighting in the sky. There was no doubt that the Alliance's air fleet would face severe challenges, and the Mantogor Land Orcs...

"No need to wait any longer! Have the Alliance General Staff take action immediately. No matter how many troops are gathered, they should be mobilized to the direction of Moseladale first. Activate the combat readiness plan, emergency level 2+!"

Anna nodded and trotted out to make arrangements.

The second-level combat readiness status will freeze all non-military actions of the army, such as leave, retirement, transfer, etc., and will inspect and repair weapons and equipment, and the troops will be assembled into an army according to their numbers.

Level 2+ will recall soldiers who have been discharged within 2 years to resume military training. The military will open the coordinates of one-quarter of the weapons combat readiness warehouses sealed across the country to each state defense zone as preparation for the subsequent mobilization order that may be launched.

The alliance's state-level defense zone system allows the alliance to quickly call back retired veterans and volunteer recruits. At the same time, the massive war readiness warehouses also allow them to arm and group themselves on-site within the state and directly be pulled into battle on the battlefield.

At the same time, the government was taken over by the military General Staff, which formed a joint command to integrate information from all continents of the alliance and only accepted the direct leadership of the Queen.

Government officials are only responsible for the daily operation of urban livelihood and do not participate in policy making and decision-making, in order to complete the integration of military, politics and religion as quickly as possible.

By the time Medea changed into the queen's dress for formal occasions and arrived at the Pentagon, all the military and political leaders were present. At the same time, representatives from the church, labor union, farmers' association and chamber of commerce were also sitting downstairs waiting for specific orders.

Seeing Medea coming, everyone stood up and saluted. Medea waved his hand and skipped the etiquette directly: "The General Staff, please come out and tell us the current situation."

Intelligence feedback has always been in duplicate. If Medea can see it, it means the General Staff can see it as well, and they will start verifying and analyzing the information in the intelligence earlier than her, and finally submit a detailed plan to Medea for decision.

This time she skipped the process and announced a state of emergency without going through the General Staff. She took the initiative and let the General Staff analyze the different possible results of the decision based on her decision.

A staff officer stood up and saluted, then walked to the main screen of the conference hall:

"According to the intelligence information sent back by the Moseladale Fleet, combined with the intelligence previously collected by the special service department, there is a 98% chance that the Wallis Empire, Freeni Kingdom, and Xiaoluo United Kingdom will intervene in the war between us and the allied countries on the main continent."

"According to accurate intelligence, not only the national forces, but also the dragons, blood races, and dwarves behind them have a probability of more than 60% that they will directly intervene."

"If the three kingdoms are included in the alliance camp, there are three empire-level forces and five kingdom-level forces among the eight countries, with a total population base of about 8 million, a total of more than 5 million regular troops, of which 6 million are elite mecha corps, more than 1500 open saints, 200 demigods and three main gods..."

Everyone looked a little gloomy after hearing the general data. The gap in high-end combat power was not so bad. The Alliance and the Witch Clan were almost in the same boat. Almost everyone present knew that Medea and the Witch Clan Chieftain could take on two main gods, and the remaining Goddess of Light was nothing to worry about.

On the surface, the number of saints and demigods of the witch clan is more than double that of all the kingdoms combined, but if the racial forces behind them are taken into account, the witch clan has a slight numerical disadvantage, but it is still within an acceptable range.

However, if the combat power is delegated to ordinary people below level 9, the alliance will be at a great disadvantage. First of all, the population base of the alliance is roughly 1 million, and the standing army is around 2000 million.

In fact, the Population Alliance is almost on par with a traditional empire, and its standing army is 30% larger than that of other empires in peacetime, which is definitely a strong military force.

But the alliance is strong in one-on-one comparisons, and with more reliable and easy-to-use weapons, it is not impossible to fight one against two.

The problem lies in the fact that the alliance is almost outnumbered eight to one. Although the number of the opponent's troops for maintaining domestic stability must be deducted, it is still possible to mobilize about 10 million regular troops by conscripting ordinary people to join the garrison troops.

This number is still very terrifying, and it is enough to cause great trouble to the Seris Alliance.

Before this, they had attended this meeting with the feeling that the Queen might be too sensitive. After hearing the final comprehensive data, they felt that it might be more appropriate to remind the Queen to start level 1 combat readiness...

Chapter 249 Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword!

"According to intelligence, the Wallis Dragon Clan's servant flying tribes are extremely numerous and have very strong war potential. The Alliance's existing air force will find it difficult to gain an advantage in the next war..."

"The ace troops of the Mantogor orcs, the Behemoths, as well as the Tauren and Trolls, all have very strong physical qualities. The main guns of our light tanks cannot cause effective damage, and the firepower of the infantry support is somewhat insufficient."

"The Dwarven Inscription Heavy Armored Unit has a very strong defense capability against long-range attacks. The number of large-caliber 152mm artillery needs to be increased, and the special abilities of the Blood Clan make them very useful on the battlefield..."

"In general, we are the weaker party in every aspect."

'No! We still have a navy!'

Someone muttered something, but no one paid attention to what he said.

The navy is strong, but all this is based on the premise of an air superiority battlefield environment. Otherwise, the huge and bloated fleet will be a sitting duck for the air force.

It would be especially disgusting when the opponent is a thick-skinned and flexible creature like the dragon. No matter how powerful the fleet's main guns are, it is impossible to stand up the main gun barrel and hit the top of the head.
