Chapter 617 616.Brothers and your heart are connected, you play with your brothers’ brains?
This batch of munchkins didn’t even start their munchkin careers in Scarlet Fortress like the players before them after walking out of the Midnight Chamber, they were directly sent over to the Maginot Defense Line.
Although the current portal system is still unable to realize large-scale personnel transfer, but fortunately this is not a time of war, the newcomers do not really need this kind of “fast travel”, and at present the entire Transylvania-wide security situation is very good, after several rounds of cleaning up Murphy’s land there are not too many things to be left to the newcomers to do. The newcomers don’t really need this kind of “fast travel”, and the whole of Transylvania is in a very good state of security.
It is obviously more cost-effective to let them enter the war preparation process smoothly at the Maginot Line, from there, enter the swamp, rest at Wolf’s Castle and then fight monsters to upgrade, and then go along the Baphomet Canyon to the Valley of Shadows to join the Black Plague Line just formed a set of quite clever upgrade route.
As for the terroir of Transylvania?
These things can wait until the end of the war to slowly experience it.
Of course, the last batch of players in this closed beta phase are not all avid fighters, there are still some manufacturing and administrative players left in Transylvania’s main city.
Their positioning was that of logisticians.
However, there was no way for them to stay in this safe zone for too long, because according to the Transylvania Wartime Management System that Ms. Miriam had just released, all of the Manufacturers were to bring their guy things and head to a military town five kilometers behind the Maginot Defense Line to gather.
It was the location of the field hospital that was still in the “break-in period”, and also the stronghold of the logistics department of the People’s Army that provided all kinds of support to the defense line, including the Church of Avalon, the Monastery of the Eyes of the Wolf God, the Blood Rats and the Batasin Chamber of Commerce, and so on, and a large number of various organizations had set up their temporary camps there.
It can be described as a small Scarlet Fortress, where newcomers can get in touch with all the powers of Transylvania and start their prestige and crafting quests without any problems.
Not all organizations could relocate there though.
For example, the famous Transylvania First National Arsenal, managed by Brother Loyalty, is a “state-owned enterprise” that can’t be relocated quickly, and it’s not a good idea to put the arsenal too close to the front line.
Therefore, at a time when the whole of Transylvania was beginning to be mobilized, Brother Loyalty and his factory were still able to sit in a stable position in the vicinity of Fort Rapids, which was becoming more and more prosperous.
Although players have started to explore beyond Transylvania for some time, and few people pay attention to the progress of Loyal Brother’s side, but as a spy with superb execution ability, even if it’s such an outrageous task as disguising as an “otherworldly capitalist”, Loyal Brother can still execute it very well.
At this time, more than three months have passed since the construction of the arsenal was put into production, compared to the poor site when it was first started, nowadays Brother Loyalty is really a bird in the hand.
Especially after Lord Murphy moved a large amount of local equipment to him from the Hungry Mountain, the factory buildings that the Stonemason Brotherhood had built for the arsenal had all been put to use, and in addition to the firearms production line that he had taken back from the Capet family at the very beginning, now Brother Loyalty already had a forging workshop, a smelting workshop, and an assembly workshop under his command.
Those newly arrived bear goblin workers originally wanted to wait for the price to go up, launching a wave of traditional strike skills to demand higher wages, however, this group of fools ignored the fact that they are located in a place called “Transylvania”, after being rounded up by the local people’s tough old workers and beat them up, the efficiency of these bruised and swollen bear goblins also increased rapidly! The work of the bear goblins is rapidly improving.
If you’re going to raise your paychecks, look at the situation first!
The black plague is coming, if Transylvania can’t be defended, it’s useless to give you even higher wages.
Loyal brother is not spoiled by these old flywheel raised grizzly guy, his bottom line comes from he has trained a number of very good primary workers in the people of Fort Rapids, even if the bear goblins give up, the arsenal will not stop there.
The enthusiasm of the locals to fight against the war is very high, and the ultra-efficient operation of the factory in the past few days has already illustrated this point.
“Ka.”
The door of the warehouse was slowly pushed open by a few veterans with broken arms and legs, and new guns packed in wooden crates were transported out by carts, and then neatly stacked on the wagons of the “Pride of the Lion King” Transportation Company by the cotton clad laborers.
A professional driver from the Pride of the Lion King village counted the goods with a list, and an accountant seconded from Treasure Bay was keeping records next to him.
These wagons will deliver this batch of new guns and bullets to the dock of Andromeda Hills this afternoon, and those merchant ships belonging to the logistics department of the Knights of the Riptide will deliver these weapons to the smuggler’s woodland in the early morning tomorrow, and the last part of the route will be taken by the jackals of the Blood Claw Clan who will transport the goods to the Maginot Defense Line.
The course of the Cadman River was just right for such a short haul, and after His Excellency Serak Fender had run two boat trips himself, this transportation route was fixed.
This was currently the shortest transportation route that took the shortest amount of time, and it was also the military transportation route established by the Administrative Office of Scarlet Fortress. Under the wartime regime, whenever anyone encountered someone obstructing on this road, the guards escorting the military goods could directly shoot.
Speaking of guns.
Well, the main weapon currently used by the Transylvanian People’s Army has been uniformly replaced from a wide variety of weird and strange firearms of unknown origin to imitation Mosin-Nagant bolt-action guns mass-produced by the First National Arsenal.
This thing was a famous gun that had stood the test of time!
It was classic in shape, durable, easy to operate, and could be bayoneted for a blood-curdling white-knuckle charge at critical moments.
The most crucial thing was that it was simple to make and quite suitable for Transylvania’s current needs.
The hardwood produced near Fort Rapids can be used to make the body of the gun, loyal brother’s arsenal has signed a contract with Fort Rapids, Tepal’s side is constantly training carpenters to help take care of the material problem in the meantime to find a job for their own people to make a living, if not for the current serious lack of various machines, the Knights of the Rapids are planning to build a lumber mill.
Today, the person in charge of the delivery of goods is the deputy director of the arsenal, “Nightmare Bat Puppet”.
This player with a complicated and awkward name is very old, he is one of the old players who entered the game with Brother Loyalty, but he is not interested in fighting and killing, in reality he is a high end machine operator, and a technology geek who likes to make his own things, and when he enters Transylvania, he completely lets himself go.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this arsenal was built by him and his loyal brother with a handful of hard work, and like all administrative players and manufacturing players, he is full of affection for his own business.
Seeing that today’s transportation work was unfolding methodically, the Nightmare Bat Puppet, who walked over in the cold wind wearing a military coat with his back hand, grabbed a crowbar with his hand, and this action made the several local foremen beside him shrink their necks.
Of course, they were not afraid that this old brother would plow up the crowbar and hit them.
The main reason was that the deputy factory manager was very strict on product quality, he was obviously going to do a random check on the weapons that were about to be shipped, if he was unlucky enough to be caught with a little defect, the bonus of the responsible section for this month’s full attendance would have to be deducted again.
Several foremen silently prayed for Lord Murphy’s blessing, while the Nightmare Bat Puppet also ignored them, used a crowbar to pry open a box, and took out a new gun emitting the smell of oil seal from the box filled with wood shavings, clicked once to pull open the bolt in front of his eyes to look at it, and then casually touched several key positions, and finally picked up the matching bayonet inserted into the bayonet seat, and fiercely came to a few bursts of stabbing action in place.
No problem!
This is a brand-new killing blade, the “big baby” that all men love.
Nightmare Bat Puppet was also very satisfied, it seems that several months of strict quality control finally let his workers get rid of all kinds of bad habits, finally a little bit of the working class should have the quality of rigor and responsibility.
He grabbed a five-round magazine and stuffed it into the gun, after taking a few steps out he fired five rapid shots at the Andromeda Hills Wilderness in front of him, no jams, no duds, and the accuracy was okay, the test results were perfect.
The Lord Deputy Director was finally satisfied.
He put the gun back in its case, picked up the hammer to re-staple it, and watched the case being put into the wagon before rubbing his hands together and returning to the workshop of the arsenal.
The second snowfall in Transylvania was already half a month ago, according to the locals, there are at least two more snowfalls before the winter will be over, but this damn weather made him, a southerner, really suffer a lot, fortunately, Mrs. Shui’s tailor store copied the military coat in time, or else he would have really died of freezing in this foreign world.
The factory was very warm, not only because the small blast furnace that had just been finished in the smelting workshop was emitting heat, but also the steam pipes that circulated throughout the factory were also resisting the low temperature.
As the workers were busy, you could hear the yells of the foreman and the shrill sound of the steam whistle, and the unique clash of gears from the engineering production line that had been remodeled under the guidance of the old flywheel added a touch of industrial flavor to the place.
Of course, every time he saw the strange production line that was moved by the large boiler, it would make the Nightmare Bat Puppet feel strange in his heart.
These things were reminding him that he was no longer in the original world.
This was a game .
Even though this game was a bit too real in every aspect, like a beautiful dream, from time to time it was a bit hard for people to distinguish the real from the fake, he had spent too much energy on the game during this period of time, and the yellow-faced woman at home had argued several times because of this, so that the Nightmare Bat Puppet dude was really a bit taut. It was already tiring enough for a man to make money, this how to play a game and still be targeted so much!
That said, it seems like he hasn’t built anything in his own basement for a long time, and all kinds of machinery bought at a big price are left to eat dust, or not, find a chance to get rid of those things some other day?
After all, in this side has a big arsenal so that he can fully utilize the inspiration and creativity of engineers, making guns and other things are a small amount of money, the basement of the “old man wonderful house” obviously can not satisfy himself.
“Old Bat, come over here! Just waiting for you.”
Nightmare Bat Puppet’s thoughts ran a little wild, just as he was thinking about whether or not to “trick” his own yellow-faced woman into the game to spend a two-person world together, a shout came from the front.
He lifted his head to see that it was the Multi-Turreted Chief Religious who was calling out to him with a fluttering brow.
This chubby young man is before the game of the same way, this guy can be much more pugnacious than their own, it is said that he played in his own yard clay film method of cannon was invited to drink tea once.
Tsk, now the young people are really extraordinary ah.
“Loyalty brother has been discussing the next ‘weapon upgrade’ plan, you choose a good template yet?”
Multi Turret and Nightmare Bat Puppet played well together, he regarded Old Bat as a credible big brother, this would be a bit manic and whispered:
“If it’s semi-automatic, I think Garland is good.”
“Huh? Are you planning to cut yourself some slack because you think you have too many fingers?”
Nightmare Bat Puppet grunted and said:
“And with what Transylvania is like right now, don’t you think about it, where would we get so many resources to make this kind of thing? Brother Loyalty could have chosen so many bolt-action guns in the first place, why do you think he had to choose the Mosin Nagan?
Use your head, Turret, Brother Loyalty has actually set the course for Transylvania’s gun upgrades, and we’re going to go with the Maoist school of weapon upgrades.”
“Ah this.”
The Chief Multi-Turreted Religious froze for a moment, then exclaimed:
“What do you mean, Bobosha?”
“Yes, yes, the children are teachable.”
The Nightmare Batpuppet grinned, reached out and made a cutting motion, and said:
“Cutting the barrel of the Mosin Nagan can be directly replaced, and even the production line does not need to be overhauled, just wait until the machining precision comes up, take care of the forging process and supplies are abundant, and then you can directly realize the capacity upgrade.
Honestly, on the continent right now at this level of warfare, when we can come up with the Bobosha, Transylvania will be able to level the world, it’s not that we can’t have high-end weapons further up, it’s just not necessary!
In that case, we can make some classic weapons for our brothers to use as boutiques, but don’t even think about massively changing weapons for local soldiers.
There’s no need to think about lack of firepower for at least fifty years, and let me tell you, don’t keep listening to other people who say that Brother Loyalty is conservative and stubborn, that guy has a lot of ideas.
He’s not your average guy.”
“So that’s it?”
Multi Turret understood now, and he scratched his head:
“I thought Brother Loyalty had to imitate the Mosin Nagan because he’s a pathetic retro weapon party, obviously the 98K is better to use.”
The two walked into the room in front of them and saw Loyal in his classic “capitalist suit”, talking to the crowd, while the arsenal technicians below were yelling and screaming, seemingly because Loyal had come up with a bad idea that had pissed everyone off.
“No way! I’d rather cut my hand off than produce this shit!”
A shrill voice shouted:
“Brother Loyalty, you’ve lost your fucking conscience! Are you really a capitalist? Brothers are going to bring guns to the battlefield, how dare you let them use this shit? You’re just killing people! Do you know that?”
“Yes! That’s right, this guy is crazy, there are so many semi-automatic drawings that can be used, why do you have to pick this kind of thing?”
“Why don’t you give the brothers little Liberator pistols?”
“If you let them use this, I’m afraid you want them to shoot you in the back, we can’t afford to lose face in this arsenal, we won’t do it! Not only that, but I’m going to court-martial you, you black-hearted bastard!”
The following several old “technicians” who followed Brother Loyalty and “started” together were in a state of frenzy, and they yelled and screamed, almost as if they had copied a stool and hammered Brother Loyalty’s head.
Nightmare Bat Puppet was a bit puzzled and came forward, saw the drawing that Brother Loyalty had put on the table, as a “very criminal” engineer, he only saw the familiar shape of the new gun and knew what the problem was.
“Shit! Are you fucking serious?”
Nightmare Bat Puppet was also shocked.
He stared wide-eyed at the helpless-looking Brother Loyalty and said:
“You actually dare to take this thing out? Don’t you want to die?”
“F*ck! I’m also looking out for the greater good! You sons of bitches, look at all the stuff you took out, what with the Garand, what with the STV, and the most outrageous motherfucker directly dumped a 56 punch on me.
Are you guys sick!”
The scolded Loyal Brother couldn’t take it anymore, he slapped the table with his cool mechanical hand and cursed:
“Don’t I know that Garland is good? Do I not want every brother to rush into battle with a 56? Don’t I want Kalashnikov’s glory to shine on the Transylvanian land? Brothers, can’t you think properly?
Where does Transylvania get the resources to build these high-end things?
You could build three of these things in the time it takes to build one Garand!
What are we short of now?
Time and materials!
I suggest you understand the concept of industrial upgrading, okay? In the case of the Kardman People’s Army, it’s not about being cool or classic!
Firepower!
We want firepower, the most cost-effective firepower!
Assholes, get your asses back in the game. I know it’s broken, I know it’s cheap, but it’s an automatic weapon! But it’s an automatic weapon, right? It’s got the firepower to do it.”
“Is that why you brought out the ‘Stinking Butter Gun’ for the brothers to use?”
Nightmare Bat Puppet squinted his eyes angrily at the understated Brother Loyalty as he shouted:
“Hey! This isn’t even a straw man anymore, you’re humiliating the intelligence and integrity of us engineers! Asshole! You dare to take this gun to Master Qin, do you believe that old man will dare to copy this and blow your head off?”
“Oh, bullshit, do you think I didn’t ask them before I took out this drawing? Behave yourself, hurry up and get to work on the production plans, it’s been upgraded from a large bolt to an automatic weapon, what more do you need a bicycle for?
This is the most cost-effective weapon I can come up with in the Black Plague!
Take it or leave it.
I think Lord Murphy will support me, so feel free to do as you please~”
