Chapter 243 What Kind Of Artillery Is That? ! Execution Ground Of The Imperial Capital Of Gruber【5/5
The Merusos-class battleship of the Prouker Empire.
The firepower itself is definitely the best in the current world, not to mention anything else.
Two 340mm caliber main guns, even with the current industrial strength of the Prouker Empire, are barely enough to produce.
This level of battleship artillery is not like the heavy artillery used by the army.
During construction, in addition to the materials, the ratio of the shell itself, and the connection with the hull, the impact on the overall structure when firing.
All require extra attention.
In addition to these two main guns, the battleship is also equipped with ten 150 mm caliber secondary guns.
In the entire Western Ocean Fleet, there are only four battleships like the Liberty Star, and there are also twenty steam-powered ironclad ships.
The artillery on these steam-powered ironclad ships is no longer the original 40-50mm artillery.
All of them are rear-loading guns with a caliber of 65 mm or more.
In addition to these battleships, behind the fleet, there were forty or fifty large steam carriers puffing out thick smoke.
It is full of landing soldiers from the Prouker Empire.
When the naval guns 25 in front cleared a safe area at the port defense line, it was time for these Prouker soldiers to land.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The continuous shelling made the coast of the port a mess in an instant.
"Dodge! Everyone dodge!"
"Don't be in the bunker, quickly withdraw all of them!"
"Our small bunker can't withstand the opponent's shelling at this level! Withdraw to the rear line of defense!"
An officer of the Confederate States looked at the tactics that they originally imagined to resist the artillery of the Prouker Empire, and then rely on a musketeer inside to create a strong obstacle to the Prouker Empire.
Now in front of the bunkers that exploded one by one, it was like a resounding slap in the face.
Learning from the construction techniques of the Prouker Empire, the reinforced concrete bunkers can remain strong under close-range bombardment by their Weissan cannons.
In front of the artillery of ships like the Prouker Empire, they looked like large cakes placed on the coast of the port.
"Boom!"
"Ahhh! Help me, save me!"
"Leave him alone, half of his body is gone, and the doctors won't be able to save him even if he is brought back. Get out quickly!"
Among the Confederate soldiers who were evacuating frantically, a shell would fall into the crowd from time to time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the scene was hell on earth.
Soon above the port, an open space was cleared.
Watching the soldiers of the Prouker Empire land safely one after another, the defense commander Bailgon who rushed to the front line almost gritted his teeth.
The reinforced concrete bunker in front did not pose the slightest threat to the fleet of the Prouker Empire.
Even the majestic artillery positions arranged around the bunker were all destroyed under the fierce artillery fire, together with the artillery teams one by one.
"Order the defenders on the rear line of defense to be ready to respond to the retreating army at any time. In addition, let them be ready to come to support at any time......
When Balegon said the last sentence, he was more or less confident.
At the same time, holding up the binoculars, he looked at the Prouker imperial battleship that had completely docked from afar.
The cannon that could penetrate the entire reinforced concrete bunker with one shot made his scalp tingle.
"What artillery is that?"
"This kind of weapon is here, all the defense is a joke!"
The signal of war has not yet been sent to the imperial capital of the Gruboni Empire.
The ground was wet with frost and dew in the early morning, but early today, a lot of hungry people gathered on the road along the Imperial Capital Square.
These people all looked sad and clenched their fists.
These people were either workers in the Marius factory, or their families.
There are also some ordinary civilians in the imperial capital who admire Marius very much.
Tens of thousands of people gathered here, all because a few days ago, people from the National Supervision Bureau of Gruberny released the news.
The head of the Marius Industrial Group, the second son of the Duke of Penmercy, Marius Penmercy, colluded with the Prouker Empire, instigated or provided protection for the mob, and secretly funded the rebel army to develop
…
After one crime after another, all the people who followed Marius to make a living were ordered to execute in an uproar.
The execution time is today [and it is still a public beheading with an obvious warning.
"Crash!"
When the prison wagon escorting Marius appeared at the scene, Marius, who was covered with intertwined and crisscrossed welt marks, and his face was pale, was roughly pulled out of the prison wagon by the city guards.
Seeing Marius at this moment, some women covered their mouths in horror, and their eye sockets instantly turned red.
Some people even shouted angrily.
"Damn it! How dare you do this to Lord Marius!"
"Bastard! A bunch of running dogs of the rich and powerful! They should all go to hell!"
"Pooh!"
The city guards didn't expect Marius to cause such a big reaction, and one by one raised their weapons angrily, and pointed at the people on both sides of the surrounding road.
However, in the past, the low-level untouchables who shrank their heads and dodged one after another when facing their guns, today one by one seemed to be a different person. Facing the 493 muskets of the city guards, they not only did not dodge in the slightest.
Some youths with fresh blood pointed their foreheads directly at the position of their guns, with undisguised ferocity in their eyes.
"You bastard, shoot me if you have the guts! See how many pieces people around you will chop you into after you kill me!"
Hearing this, the city guard soldier couldn't help but glanced around.
A poor man and woman with fierce eyes all stared at him.
"Gudong!"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, the scene was completely full of tension.
Around the execution platform, the Marquis of Baisuma, who was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at Venalen, who was in charge of the execution.
In order to let the Duke of Penmessi's mansion take an attitude towards this matter.
Actually, Marius' elder brother Veneren was directly in charge of execution affairs.
Venalen looked cold, ignored Baisuma's gloating smile, and coldly asked the city guards to press Marius to the execution platform.
Marius didn't resist either, his thin body was shaking weakly, and he was directly pressed on the guillotine by two soldiers.
Seeing that Marius was about to be executed, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.
"Monsieur Marius is innocent!"
