Chapter 172 Postwar Summary
Arcado looked at the orc corpses everywhere and listened carefully to the casualties reports of his troops. He meditated on everyone's names in his heart and prayed that these souls could rest in peace. Rome's fallen soldiers were neatly placed in front of his eyes. He walked silently around the square array. , followed by McVlon and the commanders of the military.
"Sixth Company Soldier Carter, Dorai, Andy..." The statisticians behind him read their names to Acardo walking in front of them one by one. The soldiers around stood neatly, and they were also sending off their dead comrades-in-arms in their own way.
"McVlon, if these fallen soldiers have family members, they must pay pensions. If they are single, the ashes must be placed separately. All the ashes of the fallen soldiers and soldiers must be transported back to Rome Island for burial. They gave their lives for the freedom of Rome Island, then their souls will also be free in Rome Rest in peace." Arcado turned around and told him, which made many soldiers cry.
"Send reconnaissance troops. We need to confirm whether these orcs passed by by chance or have discovered the existence of Xingang. In addition, everyone has seen the strong combat effectiveness of these orcs. We need to continue to strengthen ourselves against these powerful armies and order Hubert to speed up the production of magic cannons. I want each division The number of magic cannons has increased from 700 to 800. In addition, all the existing width of the barbed wire is used for defense isolation on Rome Island, and the width of the battlefield barbed wire defense system used by the army has increased to 7 meters. Arcado continued: "After each battle, all the front-line commanders have to write a detailed battlefield report to me, including soldiers' casualties, problems, command mistakes and shortcomings in military training. If there is an empty word in the report, I will let him be at the forefront of the soldiers next time."
"Yes!" Gavin, Buck, and Edward answered together.
"McVlon, the defense line of Xingang still needs to be strengthened. The 4th Division and the 2nd Division remain here as reserve teams. The 1st Division will return to Rome with me. You organize the 6th Division in Xingang, and I will personally organize the 5th Division." Arcado continued to command.
"Yes!" McVaron made a military salute and said. This is designed by Arcado based on the military rites of the previous life, which is very beautiful and practical.
"Warriors! These sacrificed people have saved our hometown. Please remember their names and bravery, and God bless them to be with us forever! Long live Romei!" After saying loudly, Arcado jumped into his car and went straight to the port.
"Hold Duke Rudolph Arcado!" The soldiers of Rome Island burst into thunderous shouts. They worshipped their leaders in their hearts. This leader led them to prosperity and led them to freedom. Now he has led them to defeat the invincible orcs. In their hearts, Akado is the glory of mankind and the pride of mankind! These people who witnessed the miracles in the history of human war are now willing to die generously for their leaders.
Leading Edward's skeleton division back to Rome Island, Arcado immediately called Master Anthony of Laboratory and Hubert, the substitute minister of Engineering, to discuss the progress of weapon design with them one afternoon. Arcado is eager to hope that the laboratory and research institute on Rome Island can use the fastest speed. Complete the Tiger plan and equip the army of Rome Island with tanks.
"The track project of the Tiger Project has been completed, and the effect is obvious. The design of the shock absorption system is not a big problem. Now the most difficult thing is the firepower system. Because the research progress of the miniaturization of the magic cannon is slow, the prototype of the tank has been designed. , but it still can't be equipped with troops. Anthony said to Arcado.
"The experiment of miniaturization of the magic gun must be grasped until it can be used as a weapon for soldiers to replace crossbows." Arcado gave the order.
"This goal is very far away, because we even have difficulties in reducing the magic guide gun to less than 100mm, so..." Anthony said depressedly.
"In this way, our requirements for power will be reduced by another part. As long as the small-caliber magic gun can reach one-third of the power of the large-caliber magic gun, the range can also be reduced again. It is required that the range of the tank's magic can reach 500 meters." Arcado said.
"Okay, let's try." Anthony said.
"Not for you to try, but must be completed! Just three days ago, Newport was attacked by orc troops. We don't have much time. Anyway, within half a year at the earliest, the Orc Empire will find and attack Newport. After three days ago, our troops exposed many problems, which can only be made up by tanks. Arcado said helplessly.
"We will do our best, sir!" Anthony promised.
"Hubert, has the mortar version of the magic guide gun been made?" Arcado turned to Hubert.
Hubert took a step forward, put a table in front of Arcado, and then said, "We are hurrying to produce the mortars. After the test, the third division has performed well. Some of the crossbows have been replaced, some of the equipment has been given to the defenders on the island, and some have been stored as inventory."
"Immediate mass production, each division is equipped with at least 400 pieces to make up for the lack of firepower at medium and close range." Arcado then ordered.
"Yes!" Hubert answered.
Acardo paused, then took a look at Hubert and asked with concern, "Is old Quint's illness getting worse?"
Hubert didn't expect that Akado could still remember Mr. Quint's condition at this time. He was slightly stunned and then said, "Mr. Quint's illness is slightly better, but the doctor still won't let him get out of bed, saying that he needs to recuperate for a while."
"There is finally good news." Arcado smiled, looked at Hubert, and then continued, "The safety of Rome Island is for you two. I hope you can provide our soldiers with the best weapons. In the Battle of Xingang, we lost more than 900 brave soldiers. This is a great loss to Rome Island. I hope that in the future battle, Rome will never lose the life of any soldier again. After saying that, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the white clouds in the sky, sighed gently, and continued, "They are all good. No one flinched."
"The Ministry of Industry will definitely help the children and soldiers of Rome Island build the best weapons!" Hubert stood up and promised.
Anthony also got up and said solemnly, "85 Research Institute must also do its best to complete the Tiger Plan as soon as possible."
