To be honest, this makes no sense at all. But this world has never been reasonable, or in other words, only the strong have the qualifications to make sense, and the weak can only silently accept the strong's reasoning. The law of the jungle is just that!
It's a pity that Kuza is not strong enough now and has the qualifications to let Jan Constantine and others reason with him, so he naturally has to be angry.
Of course, he is not particularly easy to bully, and he will try his best to vent his anger, so you can see his shouting often appearing in Bucharest newspapers.
These calls gave Jan Constantine a particularly headache, especially those calling for weapons and ammunition from him, which made him sit up and down.
"This bastard! He actually manipulated people's opinions and plotted against me!"
Jan Constantine slapped the "National" viciously on the table. The violent sound showed how angry he was at this moment!
"Mr. Diomede is indeed right. This Cuza is indeed difficult to deal with. We paid too little attention to it too late!" Dimitri sighed.
Jan Constantine's face was uncertain, and his expression kept changing, but he never made a sound, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"But if we don't give it, that bastard will definitely continue to use the issue to criticize us," Rossetti added worriedly, "I heard that this bastard George Stribe is also preparing to criticize us!"
Jan Constantine's face became more and more ugly. This really pushed the gourd and stirred up the pot. Cuza hadn't finished yet, and George Stribe was going to cause trouble again. If he didn't deal with it rationally, this level would be really difficult.
Can't make it through.
"give him!"
Jan Constantine almost gritted his teeth and said this word, which showed how unwilling he was, but Dimitri and Rossetti reminded: "But how do you explain it to Mr. Diomede? He is special
I told you..."
"I know!" Jan Constantine's face was so gloomy that it almost rained. He replied bitterly: "I will find a way to explain to Mr. Diomede. I believe he will understand our difficulties. First of all.
Let’s get through this before we get through it!”
Speaking of this, Yang Constantine suddenly snorted coldly: "But our advantage is not that easy to take advantage of. Isn't Kuza coercing public opinion and trying to get rid of us? Humph! What a beautiful idea!"
Jan Constantine quickly ordered: "Give me some weapons and ammunition, a thousand rifles, some cannons, some gunpowder and ammunition, and a little more food, so as not to make him hungry, but he can't."
Too much, otherwise he will be even more disobedient when he is full!"
Rossetti interrupted at this time: "As for weapons and ammunition, I wonder if I can give him the dilapidated parts in the warehouse? Those junk items are of no use anyway..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was rejected by Jan Konstantin: "No! That kid will definitely be on guard against this trick. If he leads a reporter to talk loudly in the newspaper again, we will be even more passive!
"
After thinking about it, Jan Constantine ordered: "The rifles are given and they must be usable, but as for the ammunition, give them slightly larger or smaller calibers so that he can see whether they can be used!"
This move is really amazing, but even more amazing is yet to come: "Give him the heaviest cannon and the heaviest mortar on the city wall! Before giving it, you have to write a special note in the newspaper."
Let Wallachia know that we supported him with the most powerful artillery!"
Dimitri and Rossetti were both dumbfounded. Although they knew that Jan Constantine could not be so "generous", what did it mean?
Jan Constantine sneered and said: "Doesn't he want a cannon? He wants more heavy firepower! Give it to him! Give him the heaviest cannon and stop his bad mouth!"
As he spoke, Constantine laughed: "But this cannon is not so easy to get. There are mountains to the north..."
There was no need for Constantine to finish, Dimitri and Rossetti immediately realized that the terrain of Romania is more mountainous than plain. The north is almost all mountains, and only a small area like Bucharest is a plain.
As for heavy artillery, the demand for transportation is not generally high. Look at the Japs in World War II. Why are there so few heavy artillery? One is because the industrial capacity is insufficient and they cannot build so many heavy artillery. The other is that our Greater China family
The terrain and traffic conditions were really not that good back then, and the heavier artillery required higher draft horses and roads. The so-called heavy artillery could not move at all in the rice fields in the south and the loess plateau in the north. Let alone use it.
, transportation is enough to make you shed a layer of skin.
The situation in Romania is similar. Most of the north is mountainous. It is difficult to transport heavy artillery and maneuvering is very difficult. Even if these artillery were delivered to Cuza, he would not be able to use them.
What's more, Jan Constantine is full of bad ideas, and he still has a way to trick Kuza: "Give Kuza the lowest quality gunpowder in the general arsenal, such as those that have been transported many times, and these will be provided to him first!"
"
Some people may wonder that it is easy to hand over low-quality gunpowder, but why should we give gunpowder that has been transported many times? Is there any knowledge here?
Of course there is. Black gunpowder was used back then, and everyone knows that black gunpowder is not a single substance, but a mixture of sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter in proportion. Naturally, this is a mixture.
It's okay if the prepared gunpowder is stored carefully, but once it is transported on a bumpy road, the nature of the gunpowder will change. It will slowly separate into layers again, and gradually change from the optimal ratio to charcoal and sulfur.
, three kinds of saltpeter, the longer and longer the transportation distance, the less effective they will be.
It was not until the British and French adopted granular wrapping technology that the powdered gunpowder was wrapped with a layer of moisture-proof fixative in proportion to turn it into small granules. This problem was solved.
But this kind of technology obviously doesn't exist in Wallachia now. Even if it does, it can't afford it, and it doesn't have that much money to spend. For poor Wallachia, it's a blessing to have gunpowder.
There are so many requests.
It seems that the old Yinbao Yang Constantine is quite good, and he actually knows how to use this kind of technical details to perform Yinkuza. Well, actually, he doesn't understand it, but it's the advice given to him by Li Xiao.
At that time, Li Xiao told him that if he was really forced and had to take out part of the gunpowder, he would use the worst gunpowder to deal with it. Constantine just followed the instructions.
You can imagine how Kuza felt when he received this batch of low-quality gunpowder, but where is this? Jan Constantine still has many dirty tricks up his sleeve!
