Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

The predecessor of AA12 was ASS, which was designed by Maxwell Acheson after the Vietnam War and performed well on the battlefield. This shotgun capable of fully automatic firing was of great help to the American people in eliminating their phobia of talking trees. AA-12 is one of the derivatives based on ASS. MPS in Tennessee obtained all the design drawings of AA-1987 in 12. After eighteen years of research, it should be explained that the main reason for the other party's eighteen years of development was not because of any technical difficulties, but because developing AA-12 was not their main job. They just looked at it occasionally in their spare time. After all, Americans are lazy old dogs and never work overtime.

In 2004, the AA-12 was finally successfully developed. Compared with its predecessor 12 years ago, the current AA-188 is only slightly original. This new fully automatic shotgun has attracted worldwide attention since its launch. This 12-year-old masterpiece has added 80 improvements to the original one, including changing the AA-10's recoil to a closed-bore air-blowing type. This technology can absorb 12% of the recoil caused by shooting, and the remaining 12% is absorbed by the recoil spring. In the end, the AA-10 will only have % real recoil when firing a -caliber bullet, which allows it to accomplish the cool operation of accurately aiming at the target and then pulling the trigger, which is difficult to accomplish with ordinary shotguns.

And precisely because it is so easy to operate, the AA-12 has become the first choice of major marketing accounts, and all kinds of praise for its performance, including the United Nations listing it as a banned gun balabalabala...

Indeed, the firepower of AA-12 is terrifying. Any enemy in front of it will be completely torn to pieces. The types of bullets it can use are also extremely diverse, including buckshot, slugs, high-explosive bombs, flares, signal flares, and fragmentation bombs. There is nothing she can't fire, except what you can't think of. However, this is a primary weapon.

The gun body of AA-12 is almost the same as that of M4. In addition to the main weapon, there is no other possibility of carrying. In addition, the 32-round drum magazine and the entire gun weigh 7.3 kilograms. The maximum ammunition capacity that a human soldier can carry is only three drum magazines, which is useless after use. This also makes its positioning in all combat units very useless.

However, now, with the support of the system and the humanoid, the AA-12 has completely surpassed itself, completely leaving behind those previous constraints and completely becoming a marketing gun.

Putting aside the main body, AA-12 as a humanoid is also a very interesting girl, and her temper is not very good.

"So what if it's stuck to my pants! This damn wooden house is making it hard for me to breathe! Commander, aren't you the boss? You're so noisy!"

It's very bad.

The foul-mouthed Loli is a very cute character, but there is a very important reason for her bad temper.....

"Ah!! Commander! You stole my lollipop again! Give it back to me! You bastard! You pervert!"

That's it. A certain infinite commander clearly knew that other people must consume sugar to stay healthy, but he still shamelessly snatched other people's lollipops. In terms of quality, Jiang Han doesn't have much room for improvement.

Yes, although as a humanoid, AA-12 seems to suffer from severe type diabetes. Its skill ketoacidosis and the various features on its portrait indicate that it has all the characteristics of a diabetic patient.

However, as a humanoid, how did he get diabetes?

Humanoid, isn't it amazing?

This one was considered quite lucky. Under the current circumstances, Jiang Han had only one member of the Mecha Squad who could serve as an assault vanguard, LTLX. Although the opponent executed the combat orders perfectly, LTLX was a pacifist. Especially for her who was afraid of sharp issues, the battlefield in the cold weapon era was simply a nightmare scene. Carrying out combat missions would cause great psychological pressure on LTLX. Compared to fighting, she preferred to do logistics in the rear or sleep.

Jiang Han also wanted to relieve the pressure on LTLX. Although they were all humanoids, Jiang Han had long regarded them as his wives in daily life. He was not a capitalist. Compared to a cold military organization, Jiang Han wanted the girls under his command to become a warm big family.

Of course it is a compliment, not an abstract big family like hololive or ByteDance.

We haven’t been able to draw members for the machine-dispersed team before, so we had to let LTLX continue to take over. Now, we can finally let her do some rear-line work.

Compared with LTLX, the destructive and psychological impact of AA-12 on the enemy is probably several orders of magnitude stronger. After all, not everyone can accept that all their comrades on the road turn into tomato soup.

Ah! Such a burning truth!

"I knew it! I knew it!! There's nothing wrong with my luck! It's just this ridiculous pool that's the problem! There's something wrong with this fusion pool!"

Jiang Han shouted lollipop excitedly.

"Okay, okay~ It's all a card pool issue, Commander, you're the luckiest."

The humanoids kindly comforted the emotional Jiang Han.

"Tsk, this is so ugly, he obviously got himself sunk by drawing a card but now he blames the Africans in the card pool"

Apparently, the new member of the team, AA-12, had not read Emotional Intelligence and did not hide his ridicule.

Jiang Han smiled kindly: "AA-12, it seems that your mind is very clear, that's the way it should be. In order to maintain your mind, I have decided that AA-12 will go to bed early and get up early in the future, and let... let Parosa supervise it!"

"What!? You are being violent! It's wrong! This is a robbery of life's rights! Oppose!"

"In that case, why don't you attack our enemies at night? You can be the vanguard, I believe you can do a good job. How about attacking the enemy camp at night or going to bed early and getting up early? Choose one?"

In AA-12's eyes, Jiang Han's smiling face looked like the evil smile of the lord of hell.

".......If I had known I would have rotted in Griffin"

Damn it! He was caught right after being summoned! Damn this guy!

AA-12 gritted his teeth and glanced at Jiang Han angrily: "I choose to attack at night. No matter what, I will not go to bed early and get up early!"

"That's great! Our AA-12 has a strong fighting spirit! She is so eager to help me solve my problems. I am so touched! She really is, I am crying!"

"Stop it! Where is my room!?"

"Ah, let me take you to your resting place."

Jiang Han pretended to stand up.

"No! No need! Just let the other dolls take me there!"

AA-12's eyes were full of vigilance and preparedness: "Who knows if you will suddenly do something to me?"

"Ah, the cold night rain sprinkled my tears, 12 rebellion broke my heart, your words were like ice spikes piercing my heart, my husband is really hurt~"

"Shut up! Do you want to call Neto over? I'm really impressed by you! I'm leaving first!"

AA-12 was so angry that her face turned red. She felt that the commander was bullying her. "By the way, I have to ask you one more question. Is there any talk show in this so-called new world?"

"Um, there are no radio stations in the world right now, so... um... no."

As expected...AA-12 sighed in despair: "It would be better to dig a hole and bury myself."

Volume 255: Chapter Chapter : Pre-War Preparations

After suffering defeat in two battles, Zhao Zhilong finally understood why the 30,000-strong army was defeated by a group of rebels. He thought it was because our army was not strong enough, but it turned out that the enemy had Gundam!

The water in Yangzhou City is too deep, I can't control it! This Jiang thief must have got something from the Western Yi! Continuous artillery, underwater mines! These are all technologies that the Ming Dynasty doesn't have. It's definitely not okay to fight blindly like this. I must find someone who knows the business!

Zhao Zhilong acted immediately. He wrote a letter to Nanjing, requesting Nanjing to send a group of missionaries to interpret the Western technology on the battlefield. He also hoped that the court would pay attention to the Yangzhou rebels' suspected arms trade with the Western barbarians and urge for food and fodder.

They brought half a month's supply of food with them to quell the rebellion this time, and it has been three days since they arrived here. They are out of food and feel anxious. Zhao Zhilong feels uneasy every day, fearing that the food will run out. If so many people like him have no food, they will most likely mutiny.

Today's army plays very realistically. If you have food, I will follow you. If you don't have food, who will you send it to?

I'll risk my life to follow you, and if you don't even give me food, I'll rebel. The only difference between soldiers of this era and bandits is that they are covered with official uniforms and occasionally bound by military discipline. If you take off this uniform, you can see what those bandits are like, and you will know what these people are like.

Firstly, there is not enough food in stock. Secondly, after the trouble that the wicked thief Jiang made a few days ago, there is even less food left. What is cooked in the military camp now is the food that has been piled up under the warehouse and was not touched immediately after the skunk gas bomb exploded. It stinks like boiled shit. Those who are directly exposed to the stench are completely inedible. Just getting close to it will make you retch. The families who were not rich to begin with are even worse off after this incident. The Ming army has been drinking porridge and rice soup every day for the past two days. The stench is no longer unbearable.

Zhao Zhilong's strategy used to be a quick victory, because it was obvious that his people could not sustain the battle for long. However, the battle had become so serious that it was obvious that they could not win the battle on the front line. There was only one thing they could do, which was to compete in logistics and consumption.

Part of the reason why Zhao Zhilong sent troops to put pressure on Yangzhou was because of the shortage of food and grass. Before the new batch of food came, the stock of the military camp was already stretched to the limit, and it was necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Reduce expenditure? How to reduce expenditure? With fewer mouths to feed, it is natural to reduce expenditure.

Today's high-intensity attack coupled with an ambush in the northeast resulted in many casualties among the Ming army, but at the same time, it also reduced a lot of food pressure. Despite this, he still has 60,000 troops at his disposal. 60,000 against 3,000, the advantage is on my side. I only need to surround Yangzhou and not attack. With Yangzhou's current resources, it can only be slowly consumed.

The method was stupid, but Zhao Zhilong had no choice. He couldn't win in a head-on battle, so what should he do? Fortunately, the Jiang bandits on the opposite side didn't seem to have any intention of attacking. He could only send a large army to start deployment while writing letters to urge Nanjing to raise food and grass as soon as possible.

But what he didn't know was that this was a different time. Jiang Han had previously wanted to rely on wartime consumption to solve some difficult problems, but now he found that he had made a big mistake. Although wartime could solve some problems, it would also bring more problems. The production speed was dragged down, and a large amount of money was spent like water every day. This could not go on.

It is never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. If there is a mistake, it is time to correct it. Jiang Han obviously does not want to waste any more time now. He wants to deal with the current predicament as soon as possible and then start further development.

At this moment, there were two people standing in front of him, one was Shen Lian and the other was Liuzi.

"I asked you to quell the rebellion before, and you did a good job. I asked you for a reward before, but you refused it. Now that you've done it, you should talk about it, right?"

Hearing this, Liuzi knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Sir, you are kind and righteous. This time, it is not the work of me alone, but the result of the concerted efforts of my brothers. I dare to ask you for a job for my brothers."

"Oh? Your brother?"

"Yes!"

Liuzi buried his head even lower.

"Please raise your head first. I feel dizzy just looking at the back of your head."

"Yes, sir." Liuzi raised his head, still kneeling, and looked like a freak.

"......I meant for you to stand up"

Rubbing his brows, Jiang Han slowly asked, "How many brothers are there among you?"

"To answer your question, sir, not many, just a few dozen."

"With just a few dozen people, you can control all the scoundrels in the city and keep the city in order during the war. It seems like you are quite capable."

"They are just borrowing your name, sir. When those ruffians heard your name, they all became as obedient as mice seeing a cat."

Liuzi smiled and flattered Jiang Han.

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to flatter me. It's you who did it. It's you who did it. I don't have the habit of taking credit for my subordinates. It's not easy to work under me. Have you really thought it through?"

"I've made up my mind. I'll take your orders, sir!"

"Well, let's put it this way. You did a good job this time, but there is a problem."

Jiang Han slowly walked to Liuzi's side.

"has a problem?"

When Liuzi heard this, he felt a little nervous. Was there something he did not do well?

"Yes," Jiang Han nodded, and put his thumb and index finger together, showing a critical gesture to the Koreans, "It's too small."

"Your methods of action are relatively gentle, which is a good thing and conducive to stability. However, being gentle all the time is a disaster. Do you know what happened to those scholars you put in jail?"

"Those scholars?"

Liuzi raised his head. Since ancient times, scholars have always been the top of society, with farmers, merchants and artisans as the first class. Even people like Liuzi have been taught by their parents to respect scholars. So when dealing with the gatherings of scholars, Liuzi used various means to send these people to jail comfortably, because he felt that these people would have to eat public grain in Yangzhou in the future. If he succeeded in this mission, they might all be in the same industry in the future and would meet each other every day. It would be better to leave a way out.

Now it seems that sir is not satisfied with this?

Seeing Liu Zi's puzzled look, Jiang Han turned to look at Shen Lian: "Old Shen, please pull the person up."

"only"

Shen Lian clasped his fists lightly, turned around, held his sword at his waist and walked out the door.

"I remember you said you made a living at the dock, right?"

Watching the people leave, Jiang Han returned to the table and slowly took a sip of tea: "Stand up and talk. Don't your knees hurt from kneeling on such a hard ground?"

"Hey, sir, you're joking. It does hurt a little."

Liuzi climbed up swiftly. It seemed that the rumors were true. This gentleman really didn't like others kneeling to him. But why? Was it really like what the storytellers said?

"You are at the dock. There should be a settlement there to house the families of your gang, right?"

"That's true. We are trying to make a living, and we can't bring our families with us to suffer outside. We are all brothers anyway, so we might as well just put them together."

"Since I know about this matter, it shouldn't be difficult for others to investigate, right?"

"Sir.... Could it be?"

The smile on Liuzi's face froze, and a terrible guess came to his mind.

"You received my order and helped me do things. I believe that many people on the street can see this. Those scholars suffered losses. As long as they go back and do a little research, they will know who cheated them. And if they investigate further, your settlement is naturally an easy place to find..."

"Sir, I!"

The six children were horrified!

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Lian came in carrying someone.

"Sir, the person has been brought here."

"Ah, then Old Shen, can you tell us what this person does?"

"Yes, after these people were arrested yesterday, we interrogated them. The scholars insisted that they had no knowledge of the incident. We were able to arrest the main culprit and release these people. However, according to the instructions of the gentleman, I still sent people to keep an eye on these scholars who were released."

"As expected, someone started investigating the mastermind behind this incident, Liu Zi, and found out where Liu Zi's family was, and bribed some people to go there and cause trouble."

"After we deal with those bribed thugs, we will capture him and hand him over to you, sir."

"...Thank you sir!!"

Liuzi fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling and his heart filled with fear. If the other party succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous. His momentary consideration almost led to a disaster!

"Look, following me is not a good choice. There are many things you can do, but if you follow me, you will encounter many similar situations in the future. You can think about it carefully and decide whether to continue working with me. It's not too late to regret now. I can still give you and your brothers another comfortable job."

"Sir, I have no regrets."

"You really don't regret it?"

"I have made up my mind and I will never regret it!"

"Very good. In that case, I will continue to let you handle the affairs of these scholars. Kill those who need to be killed. Do not be lenient. Be more magnanimous. As for your family, I will send people to protect them. Just go ahead and do your job."

Liuzi kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Thank you very much, sir!"

"After this is done, go find Shen Lian. He will train you brothers for a while. After the training, I have a good place for you to go."

"Yes!"

"Well, go ahead"

Liuzi kowtowed heavily again, stood up and walked towards the scholar who was like a dead dog beside Shen Lian. The scholar's mouth was covered and he could only whimper. He looked at Liuzi's murderous eyes and his face was full of fear.

"Before, I was soft-hearted and let you go. This is my fault..."

He grabbed the scholar's neck with such force that he almost broke it!
