Chapter 787
The powerful new weapon of electromagnetic cannon quickly became the new favorite of the Imperial Military.
Although it is expensive (a cannon is almost equivalent to an old sail warship), has extremely high logistics requirements (requires specialized technicians and maintenance and operators), and has very strict supporting requirements for battleships (requires special power supply and requires high-power generators, which can only be provided by new floating ships), the men of the Navy Department immediately made a request to Perficote to replace all ships that can be equipped by the Navy at present with electromagnetic guns, and change the design on subsequent ships built by the Navy, all of which are replaced with electromagnetic guns.
This requirement is not an exaggeration. For the Navy, they never consider the cost issue, and the Navy has always only the best.
After all, Victoria once needed the Imperial Navy to safeguard the interests of the empire's huge overseas colonies. As for the army... they just exist.
This also led to the fact that before the cold winter of the doomsday, Victoria's imperial navy had already used steam engines and ironclad ships, and even newer warships were in the design, and the army was still using a bad front-mounted smoothbore gun.
Even after Perficot's status in the empire continued to rise and could gradually affect all aspects of the empire, she did not have any additional favoritism towards the army because of the Brandlis family's origins.
Although the Army has obtained a series of new equipment such as steam armor, new artillery and new guns, it is still much worse than the navy's airships and thermostatic bombs that completely change the situation of the war.
Especially during the 17th Day War, the army originally wanted to show off their faces and crush the countries of the old continent with a new steam knight, but was educated by Perficote.
She spent 17 days to let the airship completely destroy the capitals, army and their fleets of the three countries.
Since then, the Army knew that it could not pursue the Shanghai Army, unless Perficote brought out any new equipment for the Army to compare the Navy.
(The God-killing armor does not belong to the military, it is Perficote's personal armed forces)
For this reason, the generals of the Army Department often harassed Perficote, in order to have a little chance of obtaining new powerful equipment from her.
However, in recent years, Perficote's main energy has been focused on dealing with the cold winter of the doomsday. The imperial military equipment has not been updated for several years.
Although the military engineers and alchemists are also diligent in developing new equipment, the gap between them and Perficot is probably... bigger than that between humans and dogs. A few years is too short for them.
They did not come up with anything that would satisfy the military.
A idiot even tried to change the Army lunch box designed by Perficot, trying to make it more functional, but in the end he made the automatic heating lunch box and was regarded as a piece of shit by the Army generals.
Perficot had heard of this and asked someone to get a sample of the lunch box.
After carefully studying it, she evaluated it as: Miss Noble's picnic basket.
After all, for noble ladies, they do need a food box that contains a full set of knife and fork, spoon, spoon and other tableware that can store at least six kinds of food separately, and also comes with a water cup and a dining plate, which can temporarily heat and keep the food in heat.
This thing is indeed comprehensive in functions, but the structure is also really complicated. It is really hard for Perficote to imagine what purpose the other party designed a lunch box so complicated.
Especially when the lunch box becomes very heavy in order to meet these functions, it is destined to be unsuitable as a military equipment.
But for the picnic of the noble ladies, this is really suitable. After all, the ladies have carriages and servants. They just need to lay clean mats on the grass, then put on the prepared refreshments, and use this self-heating lunch box to heat up the food prepared by the chef at home, so that they can enjoy a hearty picnic.
However, it is conceivable how dissatisfied the men of the Army Department are with such things that make people feel cerebral hemorrhage.
Because of this, the generals of the Army Department almost gave up the idea of developing new equipment by themselves and instead placed all their hopes on Perficot.
After all, this lady is really able to come up with new equipment across the ages, so that the development of the war form in the whole world can change with her baton.
This time the electromagnetic gun further proves the correctness of this judgment. "Regent! Electromagnetic guns are given priority to naval equipment. Our army has no objection, but you gave the navy advanced floating ships and electromagnetic guns. At least you should consider our army? Are we raised by our stepmothers and no one loves them?" The general sent by the Army Department to find Perficote to beg for him was a shameless person. He directly put aside his face and pretended to be pitiful in front of Perficote.
Perficote just persuaded him with laughter and cry, and sent him away.
It’s not that she is unwilling to give the Army good equipment, but that some things are of no practical significance to the Army.
The Navy not only has the following other things, but the electromagnetic guns can be equipped with floating ships, so that the electromagnetic guns can at least use the maneuverability of the floating ships to exert sufficient firepower advantages.
But for the army... artillery with a caliber of more than 600 years already needs to be specially equipped with a whole regiment to serve, and a special railway must be built to ensure transportation maneuvers, and it takes a lot of time to ensure the launch site...

What these get is just a slow rate of fire that is unacceptable.
Although the power of the super heavy cannon is amazing, it is really hard to laugh at compared to the cost and cost.
Especially compared with the navy next door, it makes the army more difficult to satisfy. "They seem to be really pitiful. Did you really not consider giving them some decent equipment?" Ellie asked Perficott curiously.
"No, after all, the Army said..." Perficote felt that this might be cruel, but she shook her head helplessly: "The last time she fought with the gods, the Army was just cannon fodder on the battlefield. They couldn't even connect to the close battlefield, and the Great Knight died on the battlefield."
Recalling the last scene of fighting with the gods in Langton, Perficote also sighed helplessly.
She didn't give these guys a chance, but their performance was...
Maybe Perficote could harden his heart and ignore the casualties and allow the Army to play an insignificant role on the battlefield, but in Perficote's view, this was really an inefficient approach. "That's true, if the war really begins, you can't use floating ships to defend everything, right? They are still useful." Ailee persuaded Perfikut, causing her to fall into thinking.
