Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 391 391 Arms Exhibition Booth

 “Not bad!” The really rich man couldn’t hide the light in his eyes at this time.

On the other side, the rich people were even more excited when they heard the price: "Yes! We can widen the gap with ordinary people again."

“It’s not expensive! If everyone could afford it, would it still be a Rolls-Royce?” Finally, a bejeweled rich man made the final decision and spoke his mind.

 They are not afraid that things are expensive, but they are afraid that the things they use will be affordable to everyone! They want others to know that they are rich and are afraid that they will be lost in the crowd.

 This is just like Gucci’s plastic bags that sell for thousands of dollars and still being bought by people, and it’s like the transparent inflatable vests that still sell for sky-high prices.

 Rich people are not fools, they just try their best to be different from the poor, and for this they don't mind spending a little more money.

 12,000 gold coins are actually nothing in their eyes. If spending this money can make them different, they will feel that the expense is worth it and a great deal!

"That makes sense! I'll pay the deposit right now! Book a car!" Sure enough, a well-proportioned second-generation rich man who looked like a handsome young man said nonchalantly.

Beside this second-generation rich man, there was a wealthy businessman with rings all over his fingers and a few gold teeth showing when he smiled. He said something astonishing when he opened his mouth: "One car? I'll buy ten!"

He is a big business owner with an oil field in Nanla. The price of oil has been soaring recently, and he doesn't care about such a small amount of money.

As long as the price of oil continues to rise, his net worth will be astonishingly huge—he has recently been considering donating money to become an official of the Southern La Empire.

 “Who is that?” Several women on the side immediately started whispering, and the expression on the face of this oil tycoon from South China became even more proud.

 “Tch…bumpkin.” Behind the rich man, a man walked over with a smile and said sarcastically.

Before the oil tycoon could speak, he pointed to the car on the booth and said: "Mr. Tang just said that this car was sold to me! Watch it carefully and don't let anyone scratch it! "

His words immediately made the oil tycoon hold back the words he was holding in his mouth - he may be worthy of financial resources, but since the other party knew Tang Mo, this matter would not be easy to handle.

 “Who is this person?” A lady next to her felt her body begin to feel hot.

The friend next to him immediately understood what this little girl was thinking and glanced at her: "Look at you! Are you in such a hurry?"

"Good sister... I don't like this. If you are old, please give it to me as a gift to my sister." The lady was almost drooling as she spoke.

The friend smiled and lowered his voice and replied: "You don't know this? Marquis Egret! Business has been booming recently. I heard that his Egret team has won 7 games in a row recently..."

 “No wonder, it’s him...” Several women immediately looked like they were suddenly enlightened.

"This guy is very rich and has a very good relationship with Mr. Tang... I heard that he has a son who is still playing football for the Dragon City team and his level is pretty good." On the other side, several men also cast envious glances. .

 The female companion next to her was immediately interested: "Well, I've heard about it too. Are there any games recently? I'm a fan of the Dragon City team."

"Do you want to go see it?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a smile of success - he had been waiting all morning for the other party to make an offer, and the other party finally opened his mouth to make a request.

"I really want to go see the excitement." Sure enough, the woman looked delicate and said: "Let's have a big meal tonight..."

 As soon as he heard the keyword night, the man knew what he was talking about: "Butler... butler... help me book two tickets for the Dragon City game... I want good seats!"

"You're so kind." The woman hooked the man's arm, with a happy smile on her face: "The necklace I just saw..."

"Buy it! It's only 300 gold coins...it's not expensive!" The man said with a generous look, waving his hand.

 …

 In the entire exhibition hall, the exhibition of arms occupies about one-third of the space. After all, Datang Group started with arms and is also the most advanced weapons and equipment supplier in the world.

In this kind of occasion, if you don’t take the opportunity to display some of your own products, it would be a waste of opportunity, wouldn’t it?

 So, people who come from afar can see a lot of miraculous weapons and equipment here.

 The place filled with crowds of onlookers is a super howitzer launched by Datang Artillery Company. This is a 280mm heavy gun with a total weight of the artillery system of more than 50 tons.

 Such a super terrifying large-caliber howitzer has a rate of fire of only one round every 5 minutes. Each shell weighs 200 kilograms. In order to load these shells and propellant, there is a simple crane at the rear of the cannon. From a practical perspective, this kind of artillery is actually of little value - even if it is transported by railway, it is definitely not an easy task to transport such a heavy artillery to the front line.

　　Its bulky body, precise adjustment, and terrifying price all determine that it is not a particularly qualified war weapon. But it still has value and needs to be produced!

On the one hand, Datang Group hopes to use this method to show the world its weapons production capabilities that transcend the times.

 A factory that can manufacture cannons with a caliber of more than 200 mm means many things in itself. Including seamless steel pipes, artillery casting technology, overall design, etc. Only when these aspects are at a high level can qualified cannons be designed and manufactured.

 Just thinking about it makes me realize how exaggerated Datang Group’s weapons production technology is: they can actually build a cannon that can hit heavy artillery shells weighing about 300 kilograms 10 kilometers away...

If you use this thing to defend the city, wouldn't it be possible to easily repel the enemy? The enemy didn't even think that they would be stunned by the enemy's city defense artillery before they even saw the enemy city... Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is still a little excitement!

On the other hand, even this kind of artillery does have many practical effects: although this huge artillery has many shortcomings, it is still the most powerful artillery system that can be manufactured at this stage.

Each artillery shell can directly blast a crater as huge as a football field on the ground, and the destruction radius of the explosion is enough to affect an area of ​​more than two football fields.

 In other words, one shot of this thing can almost destroy a Camp Nou stadium! At least it makes everyone in the stadium feel uncomfortable...

Such terrifying power gives this type of artillery many arduous tasks: breaking through enemy fortified defense areas and destroying enemy solid defenses.

 With the development of weapons and changes in tactics, many countries around the world have begun to build strong fortifications on their borders and established super fortresses that had never appeared in the past.

These fortresses are made of cement or boulders and are very strong. In these fortresses, heavy troops were stationed, equipped with machine guns and artillery, which were very difficult to deal with and gave the attacking side a huge headache.

 So, Datang Group launched this super fortress terminator to strengthen the offensive capabilities of the attacking side.

 As long as we find a way to get this kind of artillery to the front line, there will basically be no defense lines or fortresses that cannot be conquered.

This thing only needs dozens of artillery shells to hit it. No matter how strong the fortress is, it is estimated that the defenders inside will not be able to withstand the surrender.

Therefore, when the envoys and military officers from various countries who came to visit the weapons exhibition area saw this cannon on display, everyone was stunned.

 You know, this artillery is just a thick barrel, nearly 3.4 meters long! In addition to the base of the artillery and the shock-absorbing equipment, the entire system is more than 5 meters high, and the diameter of the base is also more than 5 meters, even close to 6 meters!

　To describe this huge cannon as a giant is not an exaggeration at all. There had never been such a huge land artillery in this world before.

Although the giant muzzle-loading cannon produced in Cyric's workshop is also very large, that type of artillery does not have such a strong visual impact because it does not have a braking device and a base.

Every officer who saw this artillery was shocked. They didn't know how capable their army was in fighting back against such a steel behemoth.

 When they saw the cannonballs standing in front of the cannon for display, they were even a little scared, fearing that such a huge cannonball would one day fall on their heads.

 No fortifications could withstand such shells, and no soldiers could persist in fighting under such a terrifying threat of artillery fire.

　　People whispered in front of this huge and shocking cannon, not even daring to raise their voices. This is an instinctive fear, a kind of awe from the heart.

In comparison, the 155mm towed howitzer and Type 105 light howitzer promoted by Datang Group are not as shocking to people as the 280mm caliber giant cannon.

But Tang Mo knew that the real artillery that could change the situation of the war were precisely these medium-caliber artillery pieces that were easy to drag and could keep up with the advancing speed of the troops.

As for the 280-caliber cannon, it was actually just used by Tang Mo to show off his skills and to take advantage of some wealthy people who knew nothing about it.

 They don’t know anything. They just like to buy this kind of powerful-looking weapon and then frighten their opponents.

 Obviously, no matter how many machine guns and helmets your troops are equipped with, they are not as effective as having ten fortress terminators.

Moreover, if used to defend cities, these huge and extremely heavy cannons will no longer have the problem of inconvenient transportation, but will instead highlight their powerful characteristics.

 It smells really good, doesn’t it?
