Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1147

[Chapter 1147 Wild Hope]

“That is to say, the shells will explode as soon as they hit the ground, unlike the wooden wedge wire that needs to wait for the wire to burn out?”

Wang Ying’s introduction to the impact fuze made the generals wait for a while before they came back to their senses.

Chang Wei asked in disbelief.

Wang Ying gave everyone an affirmative look, “That’s right, from now on the artillery only needs to calibrate the shooting distance, and there is no need to adjust the wooden wedge fuze   .

”

Strong applause.

This is the applause given by the generals to Wang Ying and the officials of the Military Industry Department.

Yang Feng’s face was flushed with excitement, and he said to Wang, “This is really amazing. This will not only reduce the time for loading shells, but also avoid the waste of shells. These guns and artillery will save countless soldiers on the battlefield. Thank you soldiers. “Bowed deeply to Wang Ying.

Because of the inaccuracy of the wooden wedge fuze, the previous artillery shells sometimes fell in the enemy’s formation for a long time before exploding, or exploding early.

The former gave the enemy time to escape, and the latter wasted time.” But after that, the artillerymen

will be able to strike the enemy by surprise.

The artillery known as the god of war will be even more deadly on the battlefield.

Wang Yingna dared to accept the gift, so he stepped aside, helped Yang Feng, and revealed Ashamed, “It’s all for Da Song, it’s just my duty.

Sweating in his heart, he thought to himself that the real credit belonged to the emperor, and he couldn’t bear it. Zhao

Xu laughed at this moment, “Wang Ying is right, there is no need to thank each other, just perform their duties. , now that you have the Chinese series of muskets and artillery, your army should also bring back a beautiful record for me. Then he looked at the

fourth firearm covered with black cloth, and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a machine gun made using the principle of air-guiding. This machine gun can fire 600 rounds of bullets a minute.” around, right? ”

Now that semi-automatic rifles have come out, Maxim-style gas-operated machine guns are no longer a problem.

“Hey, Your Majesty Shengming, this is an air-operated machine gun, and the rate of fire is three times that of a hand-cranked machine gun…” Wang Ying turned to the general, feeling a little embarrassed.

This time, their military industry department showed only four things to the army.

He purposely left the machine gun for the last introduction.

This is not because he thinks that the machine gun is more meaningful than the fuze, but that under the current circumstances, the machine gun is more practical for the army.

After ending the domestic and eastern wars, the Dasong army will mainly face overseas land operations next.

Because of the superiority of guns and artillery, the army may no longer adopt the method of fighting with large armies.

Instead, like the Western natives, control strategic locations in units of two to three thousand people, or seize the colonies of the Western natives.

After all, the cost of large-scale delivery of troops is too high, which will affect Dasong’s financial expenditure.

Furthermore, after the Han-style series is installed, using the Grand Army is a bit overkill.

But small army battles are different.

First of all, the superiority of weapons allows a small army of two or three thousand people to exert the firepower output that could only be formed by tens of thousands of people.

Secondly, it is very easy to supply two or three thousand people, and it is easy to obtain them in the enemy’s sphere of influence, and there is no need to transport them from the country.

In this way, Dasong can obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum investment.

When Wang Ying continued to introduce, Chang Wei and other generals were dumbfounded.

They don’t understand the principles of gas-guided and percussive fuzes.

But they are clear that the Han-style guns are another revolution in guns and artillery.

The Dasong army equipped with the Han series will be invincible.

Now, they hope that the Han-style series will be installed in the army immediately, so that they can severely punish the Western natives who have bullied them.

Those hateful Western natives have been rampant at their door for a hundred or two hundred years, and even directly participated in the civil war in Dasong, causing many Dasong people to die in vain.

They have never forgotten this hatred. Only by burning the flames of war to the countries of these Western natives can they relieve their hatred.

“Mass-produce it as soon as possible, install it, and then proceed to the research and development of other weapons.” Seeing the light of evil wolves seeing delicious food in the eyes of the generals, Zhao Xu said at this time.

He actually said this on behalf of the generals, otherwise these guys might jump on Wang Ying and force him to give a timetable for the delivery of the Han-style series of weapons.

Next, Zhao Xu and the generals observed the test firing of new shells and machine guns.

The power displayed by these two weapons made him and the generals more and more satisfied.

At noon, he ate with the generals and officials of the military industry department in the canteen of the military industry department. In the afternoon, he returned to the steam locomotive amidst the heated discussions among the generals.

On the way, he ordered Chang Wei and Yang Feng to start disarmament immediately.

Reduce Dasong’s 500,000 troops to about 300,000.

The remaining 300,000 standing army adopts a policy of elite soldiers, and each army unit is equipped with stronger firepower to make up for the number of soldiers.

To put it simply, it is to spend money on equipment instead of spending lives on the battlefield.

“These four weapons are only the ones that have been trained by the Military Industry Department. They have the conditions for mass production. There is another weapon that is being tested and will be delivered in a year or so. By then, the army’s firepower will be even stronger. ” When the steam locomotive was about to enter Yancheng, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.

Among them is the simplified mortar again, which is a small, man-portable mortar.

The appearance of the impact fuze has fully met the technical conditions of this weapon.

And the next batch of equipment he asked Wang Ying to develop would make the Western natives even more desperate.

These equipment are artillery and fixed-wing aircraft.

But it will take time.

Moreover, Wang Ying couldn’t do it alone this time, so he needed to cooperate with his son.

Of course, there is some good news, that is, the R&D Institute has made some breakthroughs in the internal combustion engine, and it should not be a problem to produce a mature internal combustion engine within two or three years.

At that time, Da Song’s equipment will enter the real outbreak period.

“These earth-shattering weapons, the last general didn’t even dare to think about them before, but now they appear one after another.” Chang Wei was full of emotion after hearing Zhao Xu’s explanation.

He also knew Zhao Xu’s intentions, so he said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, the matter of disarmament will be done wholeheartedly. The generals now understand that this disarmament is not about sending horses to Nanshan, but going into battle in armor.

” Yes.” Yang Feng stroked his beard.

Zhao Xu nodded. In fact, if he wanted to disarm, the generals could only disarm.

Now Dasong no one can challenge his authority, but he still hopes that the generals will be willing.

Now that the generals have figured it out, he no longer has any doubts.

Then, he looked at Xitu with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He expected that the Western natives would eventually imitate the breech-loading rifle, but the end of their imitation had also come to an end.

The Han-style series is not only a breakthrough in various principles, but another reason is that after entering the electric power industry, the steel mills provided better quality steel.

Therefore, even if they obtain the Chinese style, they will definitely not be able to imitate it.

And the Dasong army equipped with the Han-style series will immediately give them the first slap in the face.

That is to drive the natives from North America back to their homeland.
