Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

The body fell deep into the cushion, the mental level of fatigue was fed back, and the breathing became heavy like a sigh. ｜Top｜Point｜Fiction.[2][3][w][x]}

Since taking office as Governor, I have encountered a lot of troubles, but as difficult as it is now, Roland is still experiencing it for the first time.

After fully demonstrating the performance of the new rifle, Titans finally persevered with words such as "consideration" and "current decision cannot be taken lightly". It seems that it will take a lot of time to achieve small-scale experimental installation. As for the formal adoption and installation, it is far away.

In addition to perfunctory, the Titans who visited the new rear-mounted rifle will also give him a fairly formal opinion report.

The cost is too expensive, the maintenance is too cumbersome, the soldiers are familiar with the time, the need to build a new production line, the need to attach a 72 cm long bayonet bayonet to the barrel, and the fast rate of fire leads to increased ammunition consumption...

The last two almost made him vomit blood. Adding a 72 cm long bayonet makes the gun's full length more than 1.88 meters? This group of guys want to revive the pikemen? The rate of fire was originally the biggest advantage of the after-loading gun. In the mouth of this group of red deer soldiers, it actually became a defect? Is this group of guys headed with concrete or Xiang?

If he had seen the practices of the officials during the First World War in the history of the earth, he would not complain about Titans' concrete head. During the First World War, on the one hand, soldiers squatting in the trenches with "trench feet" received large-capacity trench magazines. On the other hand, conservative officers still believed that the five-barrel magazine of the new rifle would lead to soldiers. Waste bullets. In order to limit the shooting speed of soldiers, each country also distributes a rifle with a strange accessory called "magazine divider", which can only allow soldiers to charge bullets in a single shot - and on rifles in some countries. The "magazine divider" did not disappear until the outbreak of World War II.

Those who are rigid in thinking will always make some wonderful things.

As for too expensive, new production lines and so on, any new type of weapons put into operation will encounter such problems. But for a bolt rifle that is not very complicated, it can completely reduce the manufacturing cost and production cycle with improved production process and assembly line operation. This kind of question will be mentioned, it is simply picking bones in the egg.

The only opinion that seems a little reliable is that the maintenance is cumbersome. Compared with the front-loaded flintlock, the structure of the rear-mounted rifle gun is obviously complicated. For the soldiers with most mud legs, mastering the skills of maintaining and repairing new rifles is indeed a little troublesome.

In fact, this one also can't withstand scrutiny. Whether it is a combination of the M16 rifle or daily maintenance is more troublesome than the ak series, but whether it is the South Vietnamese Army or the ethnic guerrillas in the **** war between the Central Highlands of Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Use this automatic rifle. The former is barely a regular army of half illiterate and half peasant, while the latter is a complete illiteracy and peasant. However, they did not encounter any insurmountable difficulties in decomposing and maintaining the m16 series rifles. In the 1960s and 1970s. For well-known reasons, the heavens entered the fierce era when all the people were soldiers. A large number of light weapons were delivered to farmers and workers, from the simple and easy-to-use cover, the 53-type rifle, to the Czech-style light machine guns, and Mark Qin heavy machine guns. Japan's eleven-year-old "skew-handle" light machine gun, 92-type heavy machine gun, 54-type 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and so on. Militias from farmers or workers had no difficulty in mastering these firearms.

After all. Still distrust and reluctance of new technologies and new weapons.

For technological development. There is no more effective catalyst than war. Compared with civilian inventions that are seriously affected by objective issues such as market demand, limited investment costs, and short cycle requirements. The shackles of military inventions are much less. Most inventions are first used in the military, and then converted to civilian use after the military has familiarized them. This is because many inventions are not perfect at the beginning of their birth, low practical value, high price, huge investment in follow-up research, low safety and poor comfort are all obstacles to their conversion to civilian use. At the beginning of gunpowder weapons. Only brave soldiers will not dismiss these things that will kill them if they are not careful.

But this does not mean that the military will easily accept the new technology. After the "Seven-Day War", Charlieman Army spent a lot of time from recognizing the importance of firearms to restructuring and equipment-this is still fully supported at the upper level. The consortium did not achieve the miracle in the context of stumbling.

Why is this happening? After careful research and practical contact, Roland felt that such problems were largely blamed on social structural and institutional issues.

The Titans and Charlemagne Army benefited to a great extent from the consortium and the defense army, and the imprint of v.e was deeply etched on these two armies. But they did not inherit the soul of the modern army while taking many detours. They just replaced the new weapons and military uniforms. In their bones, they were still the private army of feudal monarchs. Feudal army.

The so-called "nobles" also exist within the Defense Forces, but the core of this army, the General Staff, is the place where the supremacy of capability is thoroughly implemented. There, whether or not to carry "Feng" in the surname is not absolutely critical. The ability is the important factor that determines the rank and position.

Roland, who has personally experienced the defense army education and development system, is clear that the defense army officer group is not a scholastic or simple-minded warrior sitting in a trap room. Li Lin has spent almost a generation shaping such a group of elf soldiers-with sound Knowledge structure, insight into the spirit of the times, rigorous training, rigorous temperance, broad horizons, neither blind obedience nor prosperity. No matter how critical the situation is, never give up the attitude of the form of rational judgment. These defensive officers who can be regarded as the ideal soldiers are sensitive to technology and the ability to turn inspiration into a long-term system. They are far better and more enlightened than their human counterparts.

(That being said, these guys are really brain-damaged when clear information has been obtained to prove that the Albion army has begun to install new post-loaded rifle rifles.)

Both Albian and Charlemagne’s front-loaded flintlock guns originated from the technology of v.e, so the performance gap between the two sides is not very obvious, and the tactical applications derived therefrom have been roughly the same. But with the increasing tension in the international situation. Especially after accumulating a lot of actual combat experience in the offensive and defensive battle under the Riga city, Albion took the lead in trying to improve his rifle. After a series of crying but significant improvements-such as attaching a ruler to the smoothbore, hanging the bayonet on the barrel, announcing that it will not accept anything other than spherical bullets, etc.-"Failure is success. Under the pressure of the law of the mother and the situation, the new rifle was successfully trial-produced by gunner Jacob Schneider.

Schneider cut the breech close to the gun machine about 2.5 inches and converted it into a cap magazine structure that can be turned to the right. This simple cover forms a less secure locking device, and the hammer only needs to be processed. Can be used without having to add a new firing device.

The Schneider rifle fired a new custom-made bullet made of beeswax-soaked linen and oil-paper shell, and achieved a score of 15 rounds per minute in the test. This speed is almost 5 times that of the pre-loaded smoothbore gun, and the different loading methods make it possible for assault and scattered line assault. The only flaw in the fancy is the lack of precision, but the flaws are not concealed, in general. The new rifle has formed a comprehensive overwhelming advantage over the active rifle.

It stands to reason that Charlemagne should have a sense of crisis. But the military did not touch it at all, still holding the flintlock musket that had already fallen behind, and did not invest any energy to study similar weapons. In the end, Roland could only invest in the development of new rifles.

At the beginning, Roland was also worried about what would happen if he secretly engaged in weapons. So just let out the wind and test all parties-especially Li Lin's reaction. After getting clear feedback from the consortium without interference. He remained cautious. He didn't understand why Li Lin didn't care about it until he devoted himself to the research and development of the new rifle.

Complete industrial system.

This is what Li Lin has been working hard to build, and is the cornerstone that supports the prosperity of Kialfheim. It is also a key element of the modernization of the defense force. Instructors have repeatedly emphasized the importance of the industrial system since the age of the military school. Roland has always kept this in mind, but after the actual operation, he first realized why the instructors should tirelessly instill the industrial system with the future officers. Importance.

The essence of war is consumption. Life, money, and materials are all consumables. Under the conditions where the production capacities of the two sides were close in the past, the competition was the personnel supplementary ability and the personal ability of the general, plus a little luck. After entering the era of full firearms, especially after the war has increasingly reflected the "overall war" characteristic proposed by Li Lin, industrial output value has become an important criterion for measuring the victory or defeat of war. Taking the replacement of a new rifle as an example, the cost of a single rifle is not high, about three times that of the old rifle, and the consumption of ammunition in one minute is about 4 to 5 times that of the past. For a rifle, this is nothing, but multiplying this multiple by the total number of Charlemagne's active military forces and inventory reserve requirements will form an astronomical figure. In addition, the new rifle is a rifled gun. Pulling 6 rifles out of the long barrel and manufacturing a high airtight manual bolt require new processes and machine tools. New type of fixed ammunition also requires thunder mercury and better propellant. The advantages and disadvantages of rifle guns and bayonet rifles also need to be demonstrated... In short, it requires a large number of skilled craftsmen, machine tools, chemical industry, and capital investment.

All of the above requires a strong industrial system to support it, otherwise, even if one or two new weapons are produced-even powerful tanks and jet-propelled bombers, there is not enough quantity to support them. The meaning of play is also limited, even negative.

Even if the above problems are solved, you still have to face the adaptation period brought about by the facelift. Because the quality of Charlemagne soldiers is generally low, the time to teach them to maintain and repair new rifles is relatively long. If the total number of troops is taken into account, the time will be longer. It is conservatively estimated that it takes about 4 months for the front-line troops to complete the refitting, adaptation, and combat effectiveness, and it takes about 1 year for all the troops to complete the refitting. No one knows what will happen in this year. If a large-scale warfare occurs during the dress-up process, the troops may have to dismantle all the old rifles and the new rifles are not familiar with the half-hanger state. Whatever the negative, the dressup itself will inevitably encounter major setbacks.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help admiring Li Lin's cautious attitude when he was assaulting a rifle. After the assault rifle passed various tests, Li Lin did not rush to order the defensive army to remove the one-shot semi-automatic rifle, but gradually removed it in batches. The semi-automatic rifles that were replaced were handed over to paramilitary organizations such as second- and third-line troops, youth groups, and national commandos. This not only avoids waste, but also avoids the problem of a decline in combat effectiveness during the adaptation period of new weapons. At that time, it seemed that it was too cautious, but now it seems to be an extremely wise choice.

Due to the high quality of the elf's overall military resources and the strong industrial strength, it is still so cautious about the replacement of the new rifle. Changing to the Charlemagne army can only be cautious.

So Li Lin didn't care about Roland's move, let alone the after-loading of the gun. Even if Roland handed out the drawings of the general machine gun, chariot, and plane to Charlemagne, he wouldn't worry. To Charlemagne's technical strength and industrial strength. Tell them to build tiger tanks and flying wing bombers. It is equivalent to asking the primitive people to build the Titanic from stone, which is simply unrealistic. With his super plug-in elf camp, he avoided the obstacles that the industrialization road might encounter to the utmost extent, and it was a level that needed to accumulate only after two or thirty years. There is no ready-made experience to refer to. It is impossible for human beings without any accumulation to achieve leaping.

"Have you never made a mistake..."

Whispered. The lingering annoyance rushed up again.

It is not a good thing to have a reference object that does not make mistakes. This will make everyone else look like a short-sighted fool, and it means that no one has a chance to surpass him.

This feeling is really disgusting.

For Roland who is determined to show Li Lin the "third route". There is nothing more unpleasant than Li Lin's plan to "re-divide the world with war", which eventually proved "very correct".

"It seems that your general does not like new toys."

The teasing floated in the darkness, and after a few seconds, the silhouette of the man in the hat stood out from the darkness.

"I thought our generals and marshals were old-fashioned enough to be rigid, and in the end, in a brain game, the two sides were comparable."

"...Really harsh comment."

Roland smiled bitterly and replied:

"Not to mention our side, is it appropriate to comment on the Castilian army? "Miss Fox?"

Castilian officers are mostly pedantic geniuses, and their attitude towards new weapons is even worse than Charlemagne. After the seven-day war, Castile quickly formed its own firearms unit. Although ordinary soldiers were soon equipped with rifles and artillery, the upper knights and officers continued to wear long swords and magic wands and refused to wear pistols. The cavalry not only refused to use firearms stubbornly, they were even reluctant to let the musketeers with them to be reviewed and put into battle.

It is not too much criticism to criticize such a mentally handicapped person with such a mind filled with Xiang. But "fox"... her answer was too straightforward, and a "just like that" attitude was too lazy to cover up. To a patriotic person and a nationalist, this attitude makes the bystanders a little uncomfortable.

The masked woman lifted her glass of wine and ran her throat.

"Please don't equate patriotism with unconditional support for bureaucrats, especially the incompetent kind."

A reasonable explanation, the Patriot’s standard answer. If he had not heard from his adoptive father, "Patriotism is the virtue of evil" and "Patriotism is the last refuge of all rogue villains", Roland almost agrees with this answer. Today, he is no longer a mere hairy kid. He just laughed at this kind of personal emotion.

But the "fox" seems to have a lot of resentment against the bureaucrats, and continues to count the bastards.

The situation is really bad.

Since the establishment of Dawson Bank by the joint principality of Albion and Ross and the announcement that the trade between the two countries will use gold as the settlement currency, the countries that did not deal with Charlemagne quickly joined the **** battle that strangled Charlemagne's economy. It also includes a silver-based country like Castile.

In order to get rid of the evil invaders who invade their homes, it is understandable to use some tricks to kill the enemy one thousand and self-destructive 800. Castilla participates in the sniping of the silver price and the scorched earth tactics used by the bears when the enemy invades. the difference. However, it is unacceptable to make use of this difficult period to make a lot of money in a country.

"Some high-ranking generals seized the soldier's pay, and all were replaced with gold or florin coins. After the silver price fell sharply, they were exchanged for pesos and sent to the soldiers to make huge profits. The soldiers threw the silver pesos on the officer's face on the spot. Go on, scold'how much do I pay for Lao Tzu, how much do I fight! In the fortification area of ​​Guadalajara, the engineer commander resells building materials and builds a line of defense with mud and bricks. A general goes to the southern town of Girona During the inspection, it was discovered that a local cavalry regiment was missing. Later, after investigation, it was known that the group of guys under the leadership of the regiment used the military pay to grab and store food, and then used the transportation means within the system to transport to the food-deficit front-line cities to sell for profit... …"

Almost all the problems of the decaying army began to emerge in the Castilian army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in some ways almost caught up to before 1949-just a little bit, starting in 1948 even silver and fiat currencies Reluctant to issue, the soldiers were directly issued gold coupons. Holding waste paper that is too hard to wipe buttocks, the soldiers simply went to the Communist Party and turned their heads to beat the gold coupons with a hundred times of spirit...

"and then?"

Roland breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the situation was not too bad-the "fox" speech was just an inevitable outburst after a long depression. It was easy to eliminate this negative emotion.

"You can kill some stupid pigs, but there will be new stupid pigs coming up soon, and the problem is still not solved."

Speaking of which, Roland stopped. He knew exactly what method was needed to solve this problem, but it was a little more difficult to ask him to say the word "revolution".

Sorting out emotions, Roland asked:

"How is that machine?"

"Fox"'s eyes lit up. (To be continued...)
