A weapon, gun, widely known as a true panacea and Muggle staff. The emergence of guns was powerful enough to reverse the course of history.
Even before the advent of the gun, it took a lot of money and time to train a single warrior.
In particular, ‘horse horsemen’ and ‘knights’ are literally money-eating hippos, and their losses are bound to be directly linked to the loss of the country.
Of course, it’s an investment because it’s worth it. Of course, the iron armor that was difficult to penetrate properly was ‘Iron Man’.
Due to this, the method of killing knights is very limited. Using a mace, even smashing iron armor, or stabbing the seam with a knife.
However, horsemen and knights gradually disappeared after the invention of the gun. Even during the matchlock period, horsemen had high tactical value, but knights were of little value.
Just pull the trigger once, and it’s steel, it’s bare, and it’s pierced. What’s the point?
Although cannons are among the gunpowder weapons, they are only used in public warfare or special situations, and it is impossible to use them as personal firearms like guns.
[The essence of science and a staff that easily pierces even iron armor.]
Therefore, it is safe to say that the appearance of the gun really shook the foundations of history.
It changed the protagonist of the war from knights to commoners, leading to the collapse of the ruling class.
The most important thing to focus on is that guns are ‘personal firearms’. It is possible to replace the population with military force.
Also, it takes money and time to train a soldier who is not a knight but can fight. What about an infantryman with a gun?
there is no such thing All you need is basic stamina and shooting skills. There is no need to go to hand-to-hand combat, and there is no reason.
However, it is a little vague to compare it with the knights, to be precise, the knights of this world. The knights of this world were more than just human weapons, they were at the level of a kind of weapon.
It’s kind of like science vs magic.
[Can a gun really kill a knight?]
[Like a crossbow, no matter how strong it is, if you can’t hit it, it’s meaningless.]
[How many articles in the world can avoid it? It would be much better to charge heavily like an ogre.]
[Which knight can withstand even hard iron armor?]
And there were many people with similar thoughts to me. For reference, this is how I described the gun.
The essence of science and the miraculous staff that turns everyone into a wizard. Bullets fired from the muzzle lightly pierce even steel.
What people are focusing on here is the part that penetrates ‘steel’. Steel isn’t the name of a dog, and it pierces lightly.
For the people of this world, it must be unrealistic. No, is it possible to create such a monstrous weapon in a world without magic?
And are you sure this gun is really capable of piercing even hard steel armor?
There was a lot of debate going on, but I didn’t say that guns are ‘personal firearms’ here.
Even though they say they can’t trust each other, if they say it’s a weapon given to each soldier, they’ll never believe it.
[If you can pierce iron armor, you have to have a stronger body than that.]
In such a situation, one reviewer said that. From the point of view of Earthlings, I wonder what kind of idiot that sounds like.
But this is a fantasy world. If you use mana well, you can make your body harder than steel.
Right now, even my father is the one who could do that. Even in the world, there are talented people who cut steel like soft tofu.
There are many times when you have to endure that power with your body, not your armor. So the body naturally becomes stronger.
[It will fly in a straight line anyway, but can’t you avoid it the moment you pull the trigger?]
Other than that, it’s impossible. It’s not like I’ve learned a lot of knowledge like a pirate cartoon somewhere, is it possible?
The moment he recognized the sound of the gun being fired, the bullet would have already pierced his body.
[Then you can make and wear thicker armor than normal iron armor or use a shield.]
In that case, I would rather invent a tank.
Of course, the one who wears the armor will die, but he will be able to break through a blast of bullets anyway.
It seems to prove that a good brain makes the body more comfortable, but conversely, a good body makes the brain more comfortable.
[There is no nonsense like that. Then it would be an excellent prey for cannons.]
But in this world there are no guns, but cannons are meaningless.
In fact, a steel thick enough to block bullets would be slow to maneuver, and would be a good prey for cannons.
When these new weapons, even guns with power comparable to magic, appeared, everyone was busy discussing their opinions.
‘Gunpowder seems to have made enough progress, so why don’t you think about inventing a gun?’
Of course, the cannon is a weapon invented by the Dwarves, and there are records that the Human Union used it wildly during the racial war.
But nevertheless, humans focused only on mana and magic, not gunpowder.
I don’t know why he made such a choice, but maybe it’s because of the mighty power of each elf.
It is probably because of a kind of narrow view that it is better to train a skilled knight or wizard than to focus on science.
‘Even if guns were invented, it would be difficult for knights and wizards to lose power.’
To that extent, magic is a very attractive force that cannot be given up. This part needs to be graciously acknowledged.
But science is equally attractive, so there will be a move to do both.
There is a heated discussion about guns vs knights right now, but the most important aspect of personal firearms will be revealed in the main story.
Then the evaluation will be reversed again. Note that this will be revealed in Volume 1.
Hitler was a veteran of World War I, so it’s not difficult to tell. Isn’t there also the nickname of Corporal of Bohemia?
Instead, I plan to start from the time of discharge, not the terrible hell road of trench warfare. Unfortunately, failing to go to art school will be nothing but a reminiscence of the past.
‘Now that’s roughly it.’
In World War II, not only guns but also various war machines appear, but this is going to pass.
The appearance of guns is already giving a huge ripple effect, so people may become calm if they spread information any longer.
“Isaac.”
“Yeah, tell me.”
“Is this weapon really similar in power to magic?”
But our princess seems to have more questions. She asked me with her twinkling eyes.
Last time, Cecily and Arwen came to visit, but this time, Lina came first.
As I’ve felt so far, she seems to know me as a robot cat somewhere.
‘Because he is aware of the existence of nuclear bombs…’
I’m sure you’ll have a lot of questions Currently, no one knows about the existence of nuclear bombs except for Lina.
She was the first person to let me know about her existence, and after seeing her reaction at that time, I decided that I shouldn’t tell her.
Of course, it will appear at the end of World War II, but it is a highlight, so we plan to hide it.
“I don’t know much about magic, but it will be similar to a certain level. It’s convenient to think of it as a crossbow compatible with the upper level. Didn’t I tell you before?”
“I told you about the nuclear bomb.”
When Lina spoke softly, I nodded my head. Fortunately, it’s just the two of us with no one around to listen.
Adelia, who has always been by my side, has also been sent away for a while to take a break.
By now, you will be walking around the estate with Marie. Marie will be the future hostess, so we need to get to know her.
“That’s an extreme example. You’ve also explained about airplanes flying in the sky and ships made of iron. It’s not surprising that guns exist in the yard that exists.”
“It is, but… your world has no mana or magic? Can we get close to each other with these weapons?”
That’s a pretty sharp question. In fact, during World War I, there was no way to break through the machine guns and barbed wire, so the map of hell unfolded.
The best way is to use bombardment and poison gas. But even this was not so effective.
The decisive reason for Germany’s defeat in the first place was America’s participation in the war. Until then, France and Germany were running at the height of inefficiency with each other.
“You must have seen someone in the newspaper saying this. If you want to break through iron armor, you can wear thicker armor or use a shield.”
“… these are the words of Viscount Gillas.”
“Viscount Gillas?”
“It’s one of the military families.”
Being of a military family, I was able to say nonsense rather than nonsense. Instead, looking at Lina’s expression, it doesn’t seem like she’s been well-received.
“Anyway, what he came up with is a good method. Instead, it’s a machine, not a human.”
“A machine? You mean the iron block that blocks bullets is moving?”
“Isn’t it strange that there are iron balls that fly in the sky and swim in the sea?”
“.
How surprising would it be to say that the iron mass had machine guns and other barrels attached to it. I was too lazy to come up with an explanation.
You’ll know everything soon anyway, but it’s not fun to tell you in advance. I have no intention of giving up the future for the sake of the present moment.
After that, Lina thought about it for a while, then shook her head and opened her mouth quietly.
“Your world really seems to come out the more you dig, the more weird things pop out. From nuclear bombs to guns… Who could use a gun?”
“Could everyone write?”
“······· Regardless of class?”
“yes.”
“·······”
Lina’s expression that she doesn’t know what to react to now. There are so many things I want to say, but I can’t decide what to say first.
Then, in a tone close to desperation, she asked me another question.
“Is it possible to drop a Meteor from the sky before the invention of the nuclear bomb?”
“It was possible. The whole city became a sea of fire.”
“Then what about hitting the city from a distance?”
“It was possible.”
“Aren’t you saying that individuals used exploits like guns?”
“Even if it’s short hair, it’s possible.”
“What kind of world is that?!”
How ridiculous would it be to raise your voice? But I also shrugged because our world is strange.
Lina also leaned her back on the chair with a look of exhaustion as if she had no more questions to ask.
Her beautiful appearance was mixed with feelings of disappointment, and there seems to be a sense of skepticism.
“…we feel like fools, who only focused on magic.”
“Instead, there are magic that science is impossible. And since the steam locomotive was invented, only development remains.”
“Then I’ll ask you one last time. How much money was spent in the war with all those weapons?”
“Well······”
This needs to be considered. Because I have to convert it in my head.
However, because the amount is so astronomical, it is almost impossible to do mental arithmetic. So I took out the notebook from my front pocket and scribbled it down with a magic pen.
Lina waited quietly until I finished all the calculations. When I looked at her expression once, there was some kind of tension in it.
Eventually, when all the calculations were completed, he opened his mouth carefully.
“About 120…”
“1.2 million gold? Well, since such war weapons are gathered, there is no choice but to use a lot.”
1.2 million gold is about 120 billion Korean Won. However, as expected to some extent, Lina passed without a big deal.
But I had no choice but to keep an eye on it, so I rolled my eyes. I don’t know if I should say this or not.
And Lina, who looked at my reaction, said in a crawling voice as if she noticed something strange.
“······no?”
“It should be billions, not just the back…”
In fact, the money used in World War II alone is one trillion dollars, or 1,200 trillion Korean won.
Some countries have gone bankrupt, and even the United States is trembling.
After hearing my words, Lina blinked and then burst into laughter. Then close your eyes and drink tea calmly.
“Isaac.”
“yes?”
“I think I’m really lucky.”
“what?”

Next, Lina took a sip of tea elegantly and opened her mouth with a tone full of sincerity.
“You’re the only one coming over here.”
“···········?”
“If the whole country had come over, we would have become slaves.”
I think I’ve seen similar things in my previous life.
Anyway, a few days have passed since then…
