It is not a strange thing for an empire to be destroyed due to financial difficulties. Most of the last dynasties will encounter such problems in the end.

However, the financial difficulties of the Eastern Roman Empire were not caused by serious land annexation, chaotic official administration, and the inability to collect taxes.

But because at the end of the Eastern Roman Empire, there was only one city left, Constantinople. If you wanted to annex the land, there was no land to annex it, and even if you scraped the land, you wouldn't be able to collect much tax revenue.

But the opponent is a universal empire that has entered its heyday.

Because the department was abolished and he went to work for the other side, there is really no way to blame Urban... After all, everyone has to live.

During the meal and chatting, Galina learned that Ella was the lightning bolt in history, so she suppressed her laughter... But if you laugh, you will be punished, and now Galina is Ella's subordinate.

"...No wonder you always emphasize the salary issue so much." Milin, who didn't have the psychological burden of Galina and had just laughed enough, said to Ella.

"Is it okay? Admiral." Ella asked, forcing herself to ignore Milin's reaction.

"Okay." Milin said, looking at the caravans in front of him.

Galina, who looked along Milin's path, only saw a few translucent golden figures appearing next to these neatly parked caravans.

To be precise, it is a transparent figure whose outline is only drawn with golden lines. There are exactly four such figures next to each caravan.

When these figures appeared next to the caravan, they began to move back and forth in the caravan without stopping.

Because the flickering figures are too erratic and the movements are too fast, it is difficult to tell what these golden silhouettes are doing.

But soon, Galina saw changes.

On the chassis of the caravan, which was tossed back and forth by these golden silhouettes, a thick black pipe appeared. There was no recoil booster, no flame suppressor, no aiming device, no bracket, and no messy extra decorations. It was just a thick pipe. black pipe.

After twisting out the black tubes, those golden silhouettes disappeared.

"Is this... a muzzleloader?" Galina felt as if she was in a military history museum.

"To be precise, they are called hand-propelled cannons. Although they borrowed the name of Urban, due to my influence or my wishes, you can also call these cannons Ferdinand the Bell Tower."

Milin said to Gelina with a smile.

"Ferdinand, push cannon." Galina was a little confused as she didn't understand how these two words were connected.

"These troops will be handed over to you first." Milin raised his hand and patted Galina on the shoulder and continued: "Now you are my artillery commander. Congratulations on the promotion."

From the chief of logistics to the artillery commander, it's really hard to say whether he will be promoted or assigned.

Galina, who was patted on the shoulder by Milin, immediately felt some incomprehensible connection between herself and these hand-propelled cannons.

This connection not only allows Galina to know the condition of these bell tower Ferdinands at any time, but also allows her to wirelessly control these siege engines that look like they were rolled out of a historical military museum.

Although it's not to the level of being able to command like an arm, it's no problem to move forward, backward, and fire... It gives Galina the feeling that she is playing a game.

"Just treat it as a game. I'll get you some more powerful cannons to play with later." Milin, who sensed what Galina was thinking, said.

"A game..." Galina nodded and tried to make one of the push cannons move.

As soon as this idea came to mind, four golden silhouetted figures once again appeared next to the push cannon chosen by Galina. They worked together to push the push cannon to the position planned by Galina.

"...Are these silhouetted people artillery?" Galina asked curiously.

"Well, it's artillery, and it's exclusive to specialized artillery. If this cannon is gone, then they will disappear." Milin nodded.

"Will the cannon disappear when it's gone?" Galina couldn't understand.

In her era, the idea that people are more important than weapons has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After experiencing world wars and being contaminated by collapsing liquid, the human population has not reduced to the level of the ship girl world, but it has been reduced a lot.

This is why a bunch of tactical dolls are created to fight on behalf of humans.

"Just think of these cannons as tactical dolls." Milin said to Galina. After speaking, he raised his finger and pointed in the direction and said: "Try firing a round."

"Okay." Trying to imagine that these push cannons were tactical humanoids, and those golden silhouetted figures were the autonomous humanoids around them, Galina controlled all the push cannons in one direction.

The movement of more than thirty hand-propelled cannons immediately attracted the attention of the Janissaries. They were curious about how these caravans moved on their own without packhorses.

When the guards were curious, Galina arranged these pushers, which could only be used for horizontal shooting, into an alternating lineup.

Then he shouted: "Fire!"

Although this kind of manipulation did not hesitate to speak, Galina still shouted out of habit.

"Boom" was a very neat and loud sound, accompanied by the flash of fire from the muzzle, and a burst of white smoke covered the artillery position in just a few seconds.

"Cough cough cough..." Because the fire just now was too full of breath, Galina was choked and found that she needed to wear a gas mask to command these artillerymen... or find a higher place to use the artillery observer's ability. Identity command this artillery team.

Before the smoke dissipated, those golden silhouetted people who had disappeared just after pushing the artillery cart appeared again. They clearly divided their labors and took out the same golden silhouetted tools to quickly clean the gun barrel, refill the gunpowder and shells, and prepare the second gun. Get ready for gunfire.

The huge noise immediately caused a commotion among the guards, and some of the horses under the cavalry raised their heads in fright.

Fortunately, in recent days, in order to get used to the new weapons, these Imperial Guards had specially conducted endurance training for the sound of gunpowder weapons. There was no trouble, and the horses with their heads held high quickly calmed down under the comfort of the riders.

...Well, it is already a cavalry unit that can be dragged to modern battlefields without any problems.

"How do you feel?" Milin asked Galina.

"It seems like I hit something." Galina, who has experience in playing games, said quickly.

"Yes, just some scouts, otherwise I would ask you to open fire over there." Milin said.

"Scout?" Galina was stunned for a moment. A few seconds later, the loaded hand-propelled artillery team fired another round in the same direction.

The somewhat inhuman-looking scouts and the flesh and blood pipes that brought them over were completely turned into minced meat under the bombardment of two rounds of artillery fire.

"Can you actually fire unlimited shots?" Galina said with some surprise.

"Well, unlimited firing, no ammunition limit, and no need to cool down the barrel. Isn't it quite a game?" Milin said.

"It's a bit exaggerated." Galina sighed with emotion.

"You will encounter more exaggerated ones in the future." Milin said with a smile.

"Commander, why don't you personally command these artillery units?" Galina suddenly remembered something and asked.

"For riding and slashing!" Milin explained in a serious tone.
