1538 The National Power Disparity in the Peak Showdown
Before the Ottoman Empire arrived, there was communication in advance, so Mr. David was authorized to make a decision and agreed to fight the two armies in three days.
As for the fact that Great Vizier wanted to be irrelevant with the Southeast Army leader, Mr. David said that he would meet Great Vizier in three days.
This meeting is extraordinary. The two will make public appearances in front of the two armies and speak face to face, which will become good targets for each other's snipers.
You should know that whether it is the Southeast Army or the Ottoman snipers, the rifled rifles are used smoothly. Both countries have sharpshooters, and they can hit whatever they want within the range!
The rifled rifle is not a technical problem. The rifled musket in the barrel is born in Germany in the early 15th century.
In 1476, there were already spiral rifles in Italy. "Rifle" is rifle in English, transliterated as "return", and the rifle is also called "return rifle".
In the early 17th century, the Danish army was the first to use rifles.
The rifle has a long range and high accuracy, but the production process of the rifle is complicated and can only be made by hand. The cost is too high. It is also inconvenient to load ammunition from the muzzle. The rifle will wear out and the cost of replacement will be added. Therefore, the armies of many countries are unwilling to use rifle guns with spiral rifles, and soldiers on the equipment are not willing to use them.
After the rise of the Southeast Army, it used rifled rifles. Everyone on earth knew that one of the incredible abilities of the Chinese was to be able to turn that industry into a bargain after entering a certain industry.
As a result, the price of rifled rifles that were once unattainable dropped sharply, and more than 10% of the Southeast Army's infantry were equipped with rifled rifles, and the proportion in the navy was as high as 30%.
The range of national bows and arrows is seventy or eighty steps, while the effective range of smoothbore guns is only thirty to fifty meters. When the bullets are far away, they will not know where to fly, so the bows and arrows can bully the smoothbore guns. Not only that, the bows and arrows are fast. If it weren't for the difficulty in training by archers, there would be almost no place for muskets.
The Southeast Army used the rifled rifle to show its power, which was a hundred meters away. The cavalry died of death without even seeing the enemy's face. The key is that the Southeast Army did not use one or two rifled rifle to play with. When fighting, hundreds of rifle rifle fired volleys, how could it be avoided?
The Turks had to follow up and equip the rifled guns at any cost. They imported rifled guns from Europe and made some of them themselves. Their equipment rate was less than three percent of infantry soldiers, but after all, there were, and the accuracy of rifled guns imported from Europe was quite good.
If the Southeast Army chief appears in public, it will be exposed to the muzzle of the Turkish rifle!
Of course, the Ottoman Vizier is also within the attack range of the Southeast Army's sharpshooters.
"We can agree that the war will begin after the meeting between our two sides is over. We swear to God that we will never use weapons first during this period!" Mr. Cuban said angrily.
Mr. David laughed and said, "You Great Vizier have this courage and interest. I will definitely come. We will do what we say. During this period, we will never use weapons first!"
The agreement between the two sides was made that by then Mr. David would meet with the old Koplulu in front of the two armies.
After Mr. Cuban said goodbye and left, Zhang Jiayu discussed with Mr. David: "This is probably a trap!"
He thought the Turks were unreliable. If they took the opportunity to expose Mr. David's head, the Southeast would lose their pillars.
Mr. David completely disagrees!
"If I die, can that old man run away? If I run away, all the gunmen will be transferred! Besides, I am a red-haired fan who is not mainstream. He is the Great Vizier. Who do you think is at a disadvantage?" Mr. David believes that this trip is not dangerous, and if they dare to come, we dare not accept it, it is too embarrassing to the Chinese!
They have a genitals, and we will accompany you!
The situation was reported to Yan Changwu. Yan Changwu pondered for a while and agreed to Mr. David's decision.
A day later, the Southeast Army held a grand ceremony to worship the commander.
Admiral David was promoted to Marshal of the Armed Forces and First Class Duke!
This is a rapid rise in the battlefield. In fact, based on Mr. David's qualifications and achievements, he could have been promoted to marshal. Yan Changwu always wanted to be promoted to him, but he was unwilling to do so.
You should know that many people think that Mr. David is a minister who flatters the lord. If Yan Changwu raises his position too high, there will be more rumors outside, and Mr. David will refuse.
Now we have to meet the enemy Great Vizier, and we cannot be embarrassed by the fact that we are the most powerful minister. We are talking about the same kind of equality. The rank of marshal and duke can be compared with Great Vizier.
After leaving a tail, the Duke will not be hereditary, otherwise he will be able to go home directly.
When Mr. David wins this battle, he will be the Duke of Iron Hat. He will be passed down from generation to generation, and will be with the country and will never surrender.
From now on, there will be generations of talents, and a family will be established. Mr. David will be the ancestor!
According to the law of inheritance of the titles of the Southeast Kingdom, once it is hereditary, Mr. David's descendants will not be removed from the title unless they commit serious crimes. Even if a certain duke commits a crime, they will not be removed from the title, but will be replaced by another Dai brother. Therefore, Mr. David must continue to work hard.
The ceremony of worshipping the generals was still very grand. Yan Changwu was the king and Mr. David was the recipient. Both of them began to fast and bathe a day ago. The land platform and venue for worshipping the generals were clean, and then there were flags and soldiers. Yan Changwu was determined in the land platform, and Mr. David went up from the audience.
First, Zhang Jiayu recited a prayer to the heaven and Mazu on behalf of Yan Changwu, declaring the matter of being the commander today, and praying to the Heavenly Lords to bless the Marshal of the Southeast Kingdom for a long-term military fortune.
Yan Changwu announced the promotion of Mr. David to the Marshal of the Navy, saying that he "gathered 100,000 people, and would win the battle, and win the attack, and make unparalleled contributions, and should be the Marshal!"
Mr. David thanked him and received the Marshal's seal.
What is unique is the heavy golden seal and the dragon and tiger button!
Generally speaking, the official seals of the two Chinese are gold seals. The "gold" they belong to does not refer to gold, but metal. If it is either a copper seal or a silver seal, it is rare if it is used in gold. The royal family uses jade seals, which are jade seals.
The seal of the marshal is real gold, and the Chihu button. In the past, the Chihu button was used by the emperor. Later, the emperor's jade seal was changed to a Panlong key, and the Chihu button was abandoned and the Chihu button was not used.
Today's marshals are very respectful, and the use of seals is one of them. In the Southeast military system, the marshals are the soul of the military and will never retire!
The joyous events were handled together, and Mr. David was awarded the title of duke, which was also a prominent position. If it were not for the political affairs of the army, the position of duke would still be above the marshal.
Good things come together, and everyone is competing with the glory of the marshal and duke. So they are promoted to the positions and titles of ten generals one after another. Everyone is promoted and made money together, and the flowers are not as good as they are.
After completing the ceremony, seventeen cannons were fired to celebrate.
Twenty-one salutes are used to sound for the king, nineteen for the crown prince, and seventeen for the 19 for the throne, and seventeen for the 19th for the throne.
Everyone secretly praised him when they saw that this was the first "fan general" to become a marshal!
When the Southeast Army fought with the Ottoman army, the Turks were even more surprised to see that the leader of the Southeast Army was a red-haired man!
History will remember that on November 27, 1655, the two powerful countries officially collided. That day was unprecedented and unforgettable!
The weather was clear and the sun was full. The decisive battle finally came. On a specially selected plain, the Southeast Army was preparing to fight from east to west, while the Ottoman attacked from west to east. The army set up defense along the hills outside the plain, and the team extended. The total number of troops on both sides exceeded 400,000.
Such a grand scene is unprecedented, and the sound of drums and trumpets on both wings cannot be heard from each other. Looking around, there are soldiers and generals all over the mountains and fields, and the flags are waving, which is no problem.
