"Yes, it depends on these artillery and muskets!"
Bonaparte picked up a long pencil and a short pencil and gestured: "This short one is our current infantry spear, and this long one is our musket!"
"In battle, muskets will have an overwhelming advantage!"
"The range and power of this attack are too strong. The musket can penetrate the armor worn by soldiers from a distance of 150 meters."
"Where are our infantry?"
"They were armed with spears, and if they launched an attack they would be instantly wiped out by these muskets."
Kane retorted: "Muskets are so powerful, so why use infantry instead of crossbowmen for this duel?"
He took out his pencil and said: "Crossbowmen also have super range, and they also have a faster attack speed than muskets. Some powerful crossbowmen can even shoot twenty-four shots in one minute." An arrow!"
Bonaparte looked into Kane's eyes and asked: "Kane, do you know how much time, energy, and even money it takes to train an excellent crossbowman?"
Kane fell silent. The time and energy it takes to train a crossbowman is very expensive.
Not only do they need good physical fitness, they also need to have eyes like an eagle.
"But to train a person who can fire a musket, you only need to give him a musket and give him enough connections." Bonaparte laughed.
Kane added: "What about the artilleryman?"
"Today's artillery is so expensive. It's enough for us to use them to siege the city. Do you still want to use this artillery to attack the cavalry? Those fast-moving cavalry teams, our artillery shells will not hit them!"
Bonaparte smiled and said: "Lend me a bottle of ink, I know you have it."
Kane looked at Bonaparte suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do, but he still took out a bottle of ink from his bag.
Bonaparte took the ink and threw it out without thinking!
With a bang, the ink bottle shattered, and the ink formed a large black water on the ground. This scene attracted the attention of many people.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Bonaparte said calmly: "Your ink bottle just exploded, killing all the ants walking fast on the ground."
"That's the power of a cannonball, Kane, you know it."
Bonaparte stood up with his bag, patted Kane on the shoulder, turned and left.
Kane looked at the ants on the ground. They were all affected by the explosion of the ink bottle. Even the ants on the edge of the explosion of the ink bottle were affected and no one was spared.
None of them survived the explosion.
Kane watched silently. Suddenly he noticed Bonaparte leaving and hurriedly chased him out, shouting: "Hey, that's my inkwell!"
…
Bonaparte was now extremely convinced that muskets and artillery would definitely be the key to war in the future.
And based on the current situation, it is not difficult for him to believe that war will soon come.
He already knew the news that Louis XV was now promulgating.
France now had battlefields on almost every continent outside Europe.
France itself has no way to support these battlefields.
Now France itself is facing war.
At this time, Louis XV happened to be building something else, the Petit Trianon, which was said to be built for Madame Pompadour.
Bonaparte was speechless about these things.
I don’t know how King Louis XV came up with these decisions.
But for him, it may not be long before France will be in chaos.
They would have a new opportunity, one that could help them achieve Corsica's independence.
Bonaparte also began to plan. He will graduate soon next year. At that time, he must choose to join the French army.
…
At this time, in a small law firm in France.
According to the latest decree of Louis XV, taxes were raised.
As for why taxes should be raised, the king's explanation is that when the country is in crisis, the people need to give their money to the French royal family as military expenses.
Lawyer Brousseau shouted: "This is simply a robber!"
"Now that taxes have been increased by 80%, our King knows that the army is about to run out of money to fight, so why else do they want to build a palace, or give it to his lover!"
A colleague from the law firm dissuaded me: "This situation in France has been going on for a long time. It's not like you don't know."
"According to the constitution, the king can make adjustments to our laws, Brousseau has no choice."
"Let's study the cases that will arise after the promulgation of this law."
Brousseau snorted and said, "What are you studying?"
"It won't harm the interests of those nobles during research. This time only civilians and businessmen will suffer."
The colleague shook his head, and instead of continuing to discuss the changes in the new law with Brousseau, asked about another matter.
"Brousseau, I heard that the book you recently wrote is called What About Nature and What Property?"
"It's "A Philosophical Exploration of Ownership and Theft in Nature and Society," in which I put forward the idea that 'property is theft.'"
"Yes, yes, that's the name." My colleague slapped his forehead and said.
"Just this name is said to have caused quite a stir."
"But, Brousseau, I have heard about it. This thing is very risky. Some of the views in it are criticizing the royal family. I advise you to stop this book as soon as possible and stop promoting it. "
Brousseau glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about this..."
After saying that, he stood up and left, not knowing what to study.
His colleague glanced at Brousseau and did not continue to speak.
…
At this time, Europe.
Britain, Britain, which developed the Dreadnought-class battleship, has greatly increased its power.
The Dreadnought-class battleship was built to participate in the war, so George III's goal was very clear.
After the Dreadnought-class battleship was successfully developed, he targeted the Americas.
French colonial area!
For them, the most suitable opponent now is France's overseas colonial zones!
Although George III was very confident in his Dreadnought-class battleships.
Whether it was comparing Long Yan's supply ship or any other ship, he could ensure that the Dreadnought-class battleship could compete.
However, Britain still needs Long Yan's giant steam engine. He will never start a war with Long Yan without fully understanding Long Yan's steam engine technology.
But as the research process of Longyan steam engine accelerated, he had already seen the day when he would completely successfully develop the Longyan steam engine.
The more you delve into it.
George III was even more impressed by how complicated the design of Long Yan's steam engine was.
How unbelievable.
They have invested a huge amount of money and energy into Long Yan's steam engine.
But progress is still very slow.
This made him a little anxious. He was very worried about any breakthroughs that Long Yan would make in terms of technology.
