The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 69

Popular recommendation:

"Historically, there were only two people who were born as beggars and ended up as kings of a country. One was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other was our great Egyptian Ali Pasha." The new vizier boasted about Ali Pasha's achievements.

Abdul was named vizier by Muhammad Ali because he successfully went to Russia and signed a secret agreement with Tsar Nicholas I.

The official position of prime minister in Egyptian history was also called a vizier, and Ali Pasha's ambitions were already obvious. He wanted to be the Sultan of Great Egypt and build an Arab empire, not a dog leg of the Turks.

Franz still has some respect for this kind of hero who can achieve dominance after a single start, but this era does not belong to Egypt.

Ali Pasha understood that the victory in the naval battle was just his participation in dividing up the Ottoman tickets. The real decisive battle was still on land. Since the French refused to sell the Egyptian thunder mercury formula, the Egyptians could only make flintlock guns.

Naturally, Ali Pasha would not be reconciled. He ordered his craftsmen to develop percussion guns, but there was no craftsman who could make percussion guns in Egypt.

As a last resort, Egyptian officials had to use 10,000 florins to obtain the formula of thundermercury and the design drawing of the percussion gun from Tuscany.

The formula of thundermercury is actually very simple, but at this time, Egyptian chemistry has not yet developed to the level of medieval alchemy, so it is not surprising that thundermercury cannot be produced.

Of course, Ali's ambition can not only be satisfied by making a few guns, he also needs powerful artillery.

The Austrian M1832 super artillery, this plan abolished by the Austrians, was blown into the sky by the Tuscans.

This super artillery has the farthest range, largest caliber, and exaggerated power in the world, but what the Tuscans did not explain to the Egyptians was that the reason why Austria abolished this weapon program was because of this The blast rate is astonishing.

There was even a PentaKill miracle, gunner, loader, spotter, a general who came to inspect, and a standard bearer who gave directions.

In that test firing, due to the excessive filling of gunpowder, the chamber exploded on the spot, and no one around the artillery was spared, and a piece of artillery fragments flew backward like a meteor and hit a general who came to inspect.

The explosion caused the trajectory of the shell to change. A huge shell flew over the head of the flag bearer. Although it didn't touch the flag bearer, it took away his soul.

The original intention of the design of the M1832 super artillery was to manufacture the largest and strongest artillery in the world. However, the gun-making technology and steel quality at that time could not support the ambitions of the Austrian military. As a result, this artillery had no stability at all and was almost fired. It was bound to explode, so the military had to reluctantly abolish this plan.

100 pounds/50 times the diameter, this kind of data has almost caught up with the naval guns of the First World War. Of course, the Austrians at this time could not make them. Even if they were made, they could only be placed in fortresses or pressed on warships.

Inside the Austrian army, this kind of artillery was called the messenger of hell. However, as soon as this name was translated to the Egyptians, the Egyptians were excited and prepared to name it the ultimate weapon.

Under the strong request of Egypt, Tuscany began to buy the design drawings of the M1832 artillery from Austria.

The Austrian side didn't know what the Tuscans wanted to do. They just thought it was a failed design and didn't want this shameful design to be made public, so they rejected the Tuscans' proposal.

However, this aroused the Egyptians' desire to buy. In the end, Austria still sold the design drawings of the M1832 artillery, because the Egyptians gave too much.

One hundred thousand florins sold a completely useless design, and the Austrian military felt that it was a big profit.

The Egyptians bought the ultimate weapon in their minds and felt very profitable.

As an intermediary, Tuscans get a 5% commission and feel very profitable.

When Ali Pasha got the design drawing of M1832, he immediately asked Egyptian craftsmen to imitate it. However, with the technology of the Egyptians, it was impossible to make such a large gun model, and Ali Pasha's order was absolute, exceeding the time limit. Kill a whole family every day.

As a last resort, Egyptian craftsmen thought of the oldest way, using clay molds.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is impossible to do at all, but God took care of these craftsmen and really let them build a cannon, but the problem came again, the potholes made by the mud mold weakened the cannon The power is also prone to explosion.

Ever since, they came up with a new method. The inner chamber was leveled with burnt iron, and the outer part was reinforced with iron hoops. As for whether it can be fired or whether it will explode, only God knows.

On the day of the test firing, Ali Pasha looked at the giant cannon in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a sense of domineering. He decided not to hit the target he had set before, but instead pointed at a passing merchant ship.

You must know that the artillery of this era may not be able to hit a fixed target, and it is simply impossible to hit a moving merchant ship, not to mention whether this artillery can be fired is still a question.

But under Ali Pasha's order, the gunners could only turn the artillery and aimed at the moving merchant ship.

The craftsmen on the side were sweating even more. They were more worried than the gunners, because the gunners were only worried about not hitting the target, while they were afraid that the gun would explode... If the gun exploded~www.mtlnovel.com ~Their lives are gone.

However, good luck swept over them again, and the artillery was fired successfully, and the huge explosion made the gunner's ears bleed out.

The shell hit the merchant ship impartially, and something unexpected happened. After the merchant ship was hit, there was a huge explosion, which directly blew the entire ship into pieces.

A flower bomb filled with more than 100 catties of gunpowder was powerful, but it would definitely not directly blow up a merchant ship to pieces.

In fact, this merchant ship was filled with flour, and when the huge flowering bomb exploded in the cabin, the tens of tons of flour exploded like a bomb, instantly amplifying the power of the flowering bomb dozens of times hundred times.

The gunners and craftsmen were dumbfounded. They really didn't believe that a cannon could produce such power, but the fact that happened right in front of them forced them to believe it.

At this time, Abdul was the first to react and knelt down to salute Ali.

"Thanks to God, for granting the Excalibur to our lord, our lord will surely reshape the glory of the Arab Empire."

"Thanks to God, for granting the Excalibur to our lord... our lord will surely restore the glory of the Arab Empire."

All the soldiers and craftsmen around knelt down. They all believed that this was a miracle, which indicated that Ali would become the master of this world, and they would become the sharp sword and shield in the hands of the master.

However, Ali Pasha didn't look at the prostrate crowd, but just looked at the bright fireworks with a sinister smile on his face. He named this cannon "Pluto" on the spot.

A raging fire was burning in his eyes, the fire was going to the Mediterranean Sea, it was going to go to Istanbul, it was going to go to Albania, it was going to go to London...
