Steel Dynasty - Chapter 955

[Chapter 950 Yizhou]

“Guard Artillery?”

Everyone on the campus looked excited.

Niu Ben laughed and said: “This name is loud, a Han-style rifle and a guard artillery. From now on, the country of Chongqing has two more weapons to kill the enemy, hahaha…”

“Although the country has been unified now, the surrounding areas are small. I still don’t understand the changes in Dayu Country, and I still think that everyone in Dayu Country can be bullied. Now we will use this enemy-killing weapon to tell them that anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are! “Luo Quan’s voice fell, and it was loud.

“Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away he is! This is what the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom need.” Xiao Ming’s eyes suddenly became sharp.

Not punishing the enemies who invaded the Great Chongqing Kingdom is like not holding them accountable for their crimes when they encounter thieves at home. Not only will the thieves not be grateful for this, but they will become more contemptuous, become more bold, and look for opportunities to commit crimes again.

Therefore, we must not be kind to robbers. Only guns and guns can make them understand what the truth is!

After pondering for a while, he said: “Although Britain and France are far away, this bridge has been forged. I want to see whether they will dominate the world or I will dominate the world.”

Xiao Ming’s words made Niu Benhe Luo Quan and others are excited. In the past, their eyes only stayed on the one-third of an acre of their own home, but now the whole world is a place where the Chongqing army can go.

For the rejuvenation of the nation and the prosperity of the country, they are willing to dedicate their humble lives to the great cause together.

“The emperor is ambitious and will definitely get what he wants.” Everyone said loudly at the same time.

Xiao Ming was in a particularly relaxed mood today. He smiled and said, “I’m just thinking about it. That’s all. It’s better to do it down to earth than just say it. Let’s settle the matter of rifles and artillery today. Now that rifles and artillery are both On the right track, there should be regulations for the naming of this rifle and artillery series, and there should also be standards for the calibers of rifles and artillery. “

As firearm developers, Chen Qi and Song Changping are of course concerned about the future military industry. development of.

Song Changping said: “Your Majesty, the past classification standards for Han-style rifles and Guards artillery can no longer be used. The bullets for Han-style rifles are now 7.92*54mm, and the caliber of Guards field guns is 85mm. From this point of view, rifles will be distinguished by caliber in the future. It

‘s appropriate

to use 7.92 caliber bullets as the standard for the time being. “You’re right, that’s what I mean. After all, producing bullets of another caliber requires a completely new set of equipment, so there’s no need.” .” Xiao Ming said.

Then he said to Chen Qi: “In addition to 85mm field guns, the artillery factory also needs to develop other caliber artillery for different purposes, especially naval guns. Now we are competing with Western countries for sea control, and rifled breech-loading guns are very likely. It will change a naval battle. “

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, now that we have mastered the technology, it will be simple to produce other types of artillery.”

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming continued: “In this case, Guards will be used as the naming basis for this type of artillery. In the future, all modified artillery based on this type of artillery can be prefixed with Guards. The following models are from your military factory The same goes for rifles. “

Yes, Your Majesty.” Song Changping breathed a sigh of relief. The Han-style rifle was finally decided.

Looking at the mountain behind the target, Xiao Ming continued: “This metal bullet can not only bring changes to rifles, but also bring changes to short-barreled fire barrels. I can wait for a weapon that I can use.”

Song Changping understood. There was already such a portable self-defense weapon in the information he researched, he said; “I will prepare now.”

The problem of metal bullets was overcome, and some problems with firearms were naturally solved. Xiao Ming had full confidence in Song Changping, and After a group of generals from the Military Aircraft Department carefully observed the production lines of rifles and artillery, he returned with satisfaction.

…

Ryukyu Island.

Yue Yun and a kind of general were eating sugar cane in the former Michila Castle. This fort was once built by the Dutch and was occupied by the Japanese seven years ago. It was then occupied by them until now.

Today, the name of Michila Castle has been erased, Ryukyu is officially named Yizhou, and the former Michila Castle has become Yizhou City.

Yue Yun still agrees with the name Yizhou, because it was called Yizhou in the “Linhai Land Chronicles” during the Three Kingdoms period. It can be seen that this place has been the land of Dayu since ancient times.

“General Yue, the sugar cane in Yizhou is still to your taste.”

Zhang Xian, the governor of Yizhou, also took a piece of sugarcane and ate it. He was sent to Yizhou seven years ago after graduating from the Government Affairs College. As a junior official, after seven years of hard work, he achieved his current status.

“When I was in Dengzhou, I often ate white sugar. This fresh sugar cane is rare, but it’s really sweet.” Yue Yun said with a hearty smile.

Relanzhe City was too small and Yue Yun couldn’t stay there at all, so he went to Yizhou City across the sea to rest for a few days and also replenish some supplies here.

“If the general likes it, before I leave, I will ask someone to move more onto the ship to quench the thirst of the soldiers.” Zhang Xian said diligently. Although she did not know the purpose of the fleet’s large-scale southward movement, her intuition told him that the Great Yu Kingdom might be very dangerous. More territory coming soon.

As a Chongqing official, he is naturally proud.

Of course, he still has some selfish motives, because once the Chongqing Kingdom establishes a colony in Nanyang, Yizhou will inevitably become a transit point for fleets heading south. If trade is opened up, caravans will also come one after another.

In this case, Yizhou will be lively, and the excitement can bring a lot of tax revenue to Yizhou, and at the same time attract the people of Dayu to settle in Yizhou.

After all, Yizhou is still a bit desolate no matter what. Even after the Civil War, 300,000 people were forcibly moved to Yizhou, and the current population of Yizhou is only more than 500,000.

However, there are not many more than 500,000 people scattered across the land of Yizhou. This city of Yizhou looks prosperous, but in fact it has a population of only 100,000.

The remaining population was moved to the north, center, and west to build cities and cultivate crops.

“Since it is Zhang Xianshi’s kindness, I will not be respectful.” Yue Yun said shamelessly. He would see Zhang Xian every time he came to Yizhou, and the two of them were acquaintances.

“No need to thank you. These are supplies anyway.” Zhang Xian didn’t dare to use the court’s things for personal matters. It was okay to eat casually, but large-scale supplies were different.

Yue Yun smiled, knowing Zhang Xian’s character, it was not difficult for him.

Thinking of something, he said: “By the way, looking at your sad face, I have some good news for you. Don’t you often say that Yizhou is not taken seriously? Now you are going to be slapped in the face.”
