"Considering that we already have the original 75-millimeter cannons, and have stockpiled plenty of ammunition for them."
"So the ammunition was designed to be compatible from the very beginning."
Lynn could only helplessly retrace the Red Alliance's old path. "Changing ammunition is a costly undertaking. We're still quite advanced right now, so it's right not to change."

He picked them up one by one, taking them apart and reassembling them.
Some were too complicated.
Some had parts that were difficult to machine.

It was a veritable profusion of ideas.
Some had a loading mechanism like a shotgun's.
Others had devices that converted the motion through a lever mechanism.
He kept walking and walking, until at last—

"Grand Commander, this is the latest improved model. If you lift up the adjustable sight, you'll see a frame."
"Our idea is that once this is raised, our soldiers won't need to aim. They'll just have to frame the target, and they can hit a person within a hundred
