When the Great Elder saw Roben coming, he signaled slightly, and then said to the fifth and sixth elders: "This is the changes that have taken place in our tribe this year. Most of them were brought by Roben. Now Roben is also the actual army commander of our tribe."

The fifth elder Patton and the sixth elder Thomas stood up at this time and bowed to Robben. Elder Thomas said: "Robben, thank you very much for rushing thousands of miles to save us old guys this time. Thank you very much, because we have caused the casualties of the soldiers!"

Robben quickly stood up and returned the gift: "This is what I should do. Besides, you haven't returned for a year to find news about my father. It's my right to do something for you. There is no need to thank you so much. Are you all part of the Thunder Tribe?"

Several people sat down again, and the elder continued, "You all know the changes in the tribe before, Lao Wu and Liu, Robben, now it's like this. Although the Sky Knights are fine this time, the Golden Eagle lost all the mounts, causing us to lose our air power. Moreover, the important news after Lao Wu and Liu was captured was that the Northern Alliance has integrated more than 100 tribes in the north, with a total of no less than 300,000 people. They are preparing to attack our southern tribes immediately. This time, we encircled our Sky Knights to collect intelligence and reduce our personnel to weaken our strength. In addition, after you entered the northern territory, you defeated several small tribe alliances. They finally came to us to surrender to us and also explained similar information. They just made it clear that the other party's food and grass problems have not been solved yet, and the personnel coordination has not been improved. Once you are ready, you will go south immediately. What should we do now?"

When Robben heard that there were 300,000 enemy troops, he suddenly felt a mountain pressing on his body. You know, now there are only 3,000 Thunder Legion, 5,000 City Defense Battalion, and 500 Rising Bear Knights. The entire Thunder Tribe's armed forces are less than 8,500. Facing 300,000, even with the support of advanced weapons, he still feels like Alexander.

Robben pondered for a while, and then said: "The situation is not something that our tribe can solve. We should contact other tribes in the south immediately and negotiate a solution together. We have to strengthen our own armed forces. Now our Thunder Tribe is sufficient, and the 3,000 Thunder Legion is no longer enough to cope with the current difficulties. We should organize a new corps as soon as possible. The personnel configuration is still based on the Thunder Legion organization, and at least five corps are being formed. Originally, the city defense battalion was not changed. We only need to do local defense of the tribe. And a new artillery corps is formed. The navy has no enemy situation and can suspend its development. The existing two warships should be enough. We, SHIELD, will speed up the pace to bring out new weapons to arm everyone. With the new weapons, we should be able to protect the tribe from invasion."

Several elders looked at each other, yes, the current troops are obviously unable to deal with the overall situation, and expanding the army has become an inevitable matter. So several people have negotiated and decided to expand the army by 15,000 as Robben's suggestion. Now the entire Thunder Tribe has a population of nearly 80,000. It has incorporated several small tribes attached to the outside of the Thunder Tribe, with barely nearly 100,000 people. It should be possible to form a team of 20,000. Therefore, the elders' order was issued, and all the people of the right age must report to the Thunder Legion, strive to form an army as soon as possible, and start training to prepare for wartime needs.

At this time, facing the 300,000 army formed by the Northern Tribal Alliance, Robben still felt that Alexander could hardly withstand so many enemies with the strength of the current Thunder Tribe. Robben must develop as soon as possible and discuss with several elders to send envoys to join forces with the southern tribes as soon as possible. Robben left the meeting hall. He had to organize the establishment of a new army as soon as possible. The new army did not mean that people could go to the battlefield by getting together. There were too many things to prepare.

Back at SHIELD, Robben recruited Twelve Craftsmen again and sent someone to find the Hammer together. Now the Twelve are the direct leaders of various departments in the tribe, and it would be appropriate to ask them for the specific situation. Soon, everyone came, and Robben did not talk nonsense and directly passed on the words of the Great Elder to everyone. Everyone was at a loss after hearing this. Yes, the 300,000 number was indeed a terrible number for the barbarians.

Robben continued: "According to the current form, the Thunder Legion alone can no longer guarantee the safety of the tribe without invasion, so the Presbyterian Council has always decided to expand its army, but the expansion alone cannot solve the big problem. After all, the entire Thunder Tribe's population is less than 100,000 people. This is still included in the small tribes outside that are temporarily attached to us. Therefore, the development of weapons is urgent. Only by mastering more advanced weapons can we fight with less. I have already mentioned some weapons yesterday. Now I want Parker and Robin, you two, assist Lawrence in developing machine guns, and strive to succeed in the development of the army as soon as possible for the army to participate in the war. In addition, Uncle Hammer, our newly developed infantry cannons, now you have no time to study them slowly. You blacksmiths start to build them directly, and strive to build new artillery and improved new fast guns, and all of them start to reserve ammunition for wartime use."

Lawrence said at this time: "Robben, there are several problems. The first new fast gun still has some problems, which have not been completely solved. The machine gun you mentioned was just briefly told me before. Now you need to talk carefully before we have a general direction, otherwise it would be impossible to develop it in a short time."

Robben nodded, took a piece of paper, and then simply drew the structure diagram of the gun in his memory, explaining as he drew: "Let me talk about the rifle first. There is a bolt behind the rifle. When pulling the bolt backward, the spring in the bolt was compressed, and the elastic potential energy was stored so that the firing pin was ready to be fired. The bolt was pulled upward and stuck and the bamboo shoots were ready to be fired. After pushing the bolt forward and downward, the mechanism inside the bolt itself hindered the firing pin spring was cancelled, but the resisting iron connected to the trigger jammed the firing pin so that the spring could not be relaxed and remained under pressure. The entire bolt was still in the ready to be fired. The forward push of the bolt also pushed the bullet out of the magazine/magazine, and the bullet was briefly penetrated.

After passing the receiver, enter the chamber behind the barrel (the bullet protrudes into the chamber). At the same time, when the bolt is rotated, the lock ear of the bolt head is fixed by the groove in front of the receiver, and the rear of the bolt is completely closed. Then, after pulling the trigger, the blocking iron that stuck the striker is released, and the spring in the bolt is released and the striker is driven forward to hit the bottom of the bullet, igniting the propelling medicine in the shell. The bullet is pushed by the high-pressure expansion gas generated by the violent combustion of gunpowder, separated from the shell and flew forward along the chamber; the shell is blocked by the chamber chamber and is left in the gun. When the bolt is pulled open again, the bottom edge is pulled by the pulling shell hook and slide out of the chamber, and then the shell is pushed forward and turned out of the gun. One round of shooting is completed, which is the principle of the rifle."
