1717 New American Empire

Although the Hall M1819 rifle is the first mature breech-loading gun, it still cannot get rid of its limitations. The flintlock action is not a needle action after all. However, after all, it was only designed in the early 19th century. Its power is

The range and accuracy far exceed the most advanced muzzle-loading muskets today. Not to mention the Brown Bess musket developed by British talents, even the French weapons, which are at the top of Europe's military manufacturing industry, are not as good as the Hall M1819.

James naturally understands that the company must ensure its own advantages. Although the Charles family is gradually getting closer to the company, they have not made a clear plan and joined the company openly. James can guarantee that he and his father are close to and loyal to the company.

, but his eldest brother and other people in the family have always had objections to the Charles family fawning over an Indian. Especially the news that he had brought back Xiao Lin and became the son-in-law of the Charles family, it aroused opposition from many people.

and criticism.

Even the two Type 17 pistols he brought back were almost taken away and dismantled for study. Fortunately, James' father defied all opinions, otherwise the current situation would not have happened. Alger inherited his father's character,

Only those who have a clear understanding of themselves will live to the end and make the most correct choice at the critical moment. Alger knows that he is a soldier. Apart from his 18th-century military talent, he is nothing more than a soldier.

There are no advantages anymore.

Originally, Alger just wanted to keep the family's status and go further if possible. But since contacting Yanhuang Trading Company, he has greater ambitions. He wants to make the Charles family better than the Adams in its heyday.

The family is even stronger, and he even wants to sit in Charlie Mir's current position as governor. He also knows that he can't do it on his own. And Xiao Lin, who has shown himself to be a king, is the one he is looking for.

Alger was not only very happy about Britney and Nina becoming Xiao Lin's women, but he also had no objection to Avril, Kate and Sam Dean, two rising star generals of the company. Naturally, Alger also guessed Xiao Lin's test.

That's why I didn't touch the two Type 17 pistols. The Hall M1819 rifle and Xiao Lin's gun with thirty rounds of bullets cost two thousand Yanhuang coins. The bullet production technology can be sold, but it will cost one hundred thousand Yanhuang coins.

After talking about rifles and pistols, it’s natural to talk about cannons. Xiao Lin thought about it a lot, but couldn’t find a suitable style, so he decided to sell them the Chongquan Type 1 artillery. The Chongquan Type 1 artillery, a 75mm ventriloquist, is so powerful.

For the escort artillerymen who are used to the heavy punch II artillery with a caliber of 120 mm, it is no longer enough. If the heavy punch II was not a bit heavy and inconvenient to transport when the roads are not smooth enough, I am afraid they would all ask for it.

The punching move is outlawed.

As the company develops, Xiao Lin also has the idea of ​​​​exploiting oil deposits in the North American continent. Now the 21st century power is still in the fuel age, and electric vehicle battery technology is not yet perfect. Naturally, Xiao Lin cannot be among the companies in the 18th century.

Xiao Lin consulted about the full use of electricity and oil production equipment, and they said that modular installation can be carried out, and the oil production can be one hundred tons per month. This amount is very suitable for the current company.

As long as there is enough oil, the company can fully equip cars. With trucks, the transportation of the Heavy Punch Type 2 and even the Heavy Punch Type 3 180 mm caliber heavy artillery that has completed technical research and development will not be a problem. In this way, Heavy Punch

Elimination with one move is inevitable. However, with one heavy punch,

In this era, it is still a very advanced artillery. The weight of the Heavy Fist Type 1 is only equivalent to about eight pounds of artillery, but its range is a little farther than the twelve-pound heavy artillery. After filling with the new yellow gunpowder, in 1500

The attack power from a hundred meters away was slightly more powerful than a twelve-pounder cannon.

Xiao Lin can naturally sell yellow gunpowder. He believes that it cannot be copied with the current British methods. If you are not careful, it will cause a terrible explosion. The power of yellow gunpowder is not comparable to that of black gunpowder. In the end,

If you want to kill a group of British researchers, Xiao Lin will laugh out loud. A heavy-punch cannon with ten rounds of shells and gunpowder, whether it is solid bullets or grape bullets, costs 5,000 Yanhuang coins.

.

The price is very high, but every time the Charles family trades with the company, they can also get an income of almost 50,000 Yanhuang coins. Most of it is used to buy the company's lifestyle products, and a small amount is saved by Alger for future use. Zhan

Naturally, Mu didn't have enough funds, and he didn't dare to make private decisions on such an important matter. After resting for a night, he went back directly. He wanted to invite Alger to come and personally decide the amount of the arms trade.

.

However, they are not the only arms customers of Xiao Lin. The French have already sent people to buy the grenade that the company gave them last time, which is the foreign trade model named Type 18 filled with yellow by Xiao Lin.

Demolition grenades that are ignited by gunpowder fuses. Last time Xiao Lin photographed a few people bringing hundreds of grenades as gifts and gave them to the French. Originally, the French were still laughing at them, saying that the Indians could have any good grenades.

As the war with Britain began, the French were unable to keep up with some arms supplies due to lack of preparation. Especially grenades, which were one of the first forces to develop grenadiers.

The dependence was not small, and the grenades were consumed too much. The logistics officials were pushed to the point where they had no choice, so they used the grenades sent by the company as supplies. At this time, the grenade soldiers on the front line were extremely surprised. They discovered that this kind of grenade

It's really useful.

Although it is still lit by a fuse, this fuse has undergone 21st century waterproofing. The grenade shell seems to be spliced, but it does not leak at all. It can be used normally even in heavy rain. And the detonation time is completely fixed. Click and then

It will inevitably explode in the fifth second, unlike the grenades they made themselves, which can take seven to eight seconds or even three to four seconds. The unified explosion time means that the tactics can be arranged better and there will be no accidents.

Moreover, filled with yellow gunpowder and using special objects, the explosive power of these grenades was generally more than 50% greater than the grenades they made themselves. With just more than 300 rounds of grenades, they were able to attack a city thousands of miles tall.

The small town where the army was stationed. The grenadiers on the front line were all very strong.

They asked to continue using this type of 18-type grenades, but the soldiers made them themselves and refused to use them. After learning about this, the French commander personally made the decision and took out all the money originally used to purchase grenades in his own arsenal.

Come to purchase grenades from Yanhuang Trading Company.

However, now that he is here, Xiao Lin does not intend to let go of these French enemies easily. In addition to the Heavy Fist Type 1 artillery, he cannot sell it. He is afraid that if the French with strong industrial capabilities successfully imitate it, it will become an obstacle to their dominance of North America in the future. And the Hall m1819 rifle

It can't be sold either. The Charles family still wants to sell it.

He wanted to rely on this to strive for greater profits. Revolvers, bayonets, steel knives and composite bows suitable for use by Indian servants. Xiao Lin was eloquent in promoting the French. This time, the leader of the team was the commander's son.

Son Claude Monet, a young but talented man.

The revolver is also a breech-loading bullet gun, and naturally it uses a backward flintlock action. Although there is a risk of being cracked, Xiao Lin is not worried. If there is no strong power, the French will be like in history.

was defeated in the North American colonial war, and even

The British were completely expelled from the North American continent. As a result, the company lost a teammate to share the pressure. Before the company had 20,000 regular troops, Xiao Lin still believed that the company should not confront the British head-on. Let the French top the tank.

, is the best choice.

Even if the French imitate other than breech-loading guns, relying on their technological capabilities, they will not be able to advance to the level of the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle in a very short period of time. Even if they can create a weapon that is as powerful as the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle, Xiao Lin still has nearly a hundred years of experience.

More advanced technology can be used.

However, even so, how could he resist the mouth of Xiao Lin, who has mastered the sales skills of the 21st century? Claude Monet had just arrived at the company and after confirming the grenade deal, he was pulled into the external department by Xiao Lin.

A weapons test range.

"Come on, come on, Claude, I have some good stuff here. Take a look at this first, ZL-1 revolver, six rounds of ammunition, fired by a flintlock action, it can be fired completely within two minutes. Within one hundred meters

, hit wherever you point, it’s powerful enough to kill a grizzly bear, and the caliber is 11.2mm. Come on, try it on the target.”

Claude Monet had nothing to do with this stubborn and familiar strong man. He couldn't pull him away, and a special short-handled musket was forced into his hand. In his eyes, the ZL-1 style

Revolver. However, with the introduction of Xiao Lin, Claude Monet also gradually

A look of surprise appeared on the ground. As a soldier, he naturally said that if what Xiao Lin said is true, the weapon he named the revolver is definitely a close combat weapon. If it can be equipped in large quantities to grassroots officials,

It can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the French army.

Claude Monet followed Xiao Lin's instructions, loaded the bullets, turned on the safety, and started designing for the target a hundred meters away. Sure enough, he fired all six bullets within two minutes, and the target...

It has turned into splinters of wood.

"Master Xiao Lin, how many of these pistols are there? I want them all."

"No problem, you can have as many as you want. Each one comes with thirty rounds of ammunition, a total of three thousand Yanhuang coins."

"Here, okay. Three thousand first."

"In this case, I think you also need some bayonets and compound bows. Let me tell you, these things..."

"purchase!"
