Wild North America 1846

After Richard read the emergency military information document, he handed it to Major Dai Changfu solemnly, and then circulated it among the attachés such as Lieutenant Colonel Mike Rabiot and Major Gao Shiheng. Finally, Captain Liu Wu, the captain of the soldiers, put it away after reading it and handed it over to the machine.

Ask the officer to save it.

"Return the call and agree to the battle plan of Old Kahn's department, ordering them to quickly move out of Gallup Town to stabilize the defense and attack with cameras. This is the order."

Richard finally made up his mind and gave the order with a solemn expression. Then he turned to the military and political officials present and said;

"The invasion by the U.S. Federal Army was a naked aggression against the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. The foreign affairs department immediately contacted friendly European countries that have established diplomatic relations with Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria to strongly condemn the blatant aggression of the United States and jointly exert diplomatic force.

pressure."

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take care of it immediately." After Juan Carlos accepted the order, he bent down and gave a breast-stroking salute, then got on his horse with his entourage and headed towards the new town.

Richard said with a solemn expression;

“When friends come, there’s good wine; when there’s jackals, there’s shotguns.

Since the U.S. federal army has brazenly invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, only a tough counterattack of iron and blood can demonstrate the determination of our soldiers of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty to defend the territory of the Kingdom.

I command;

From now on, the Royal Army has entered the highest alert state, canceled all vacations, officers and soldiers have returned to camp, and are ready to go. All weapons, ammunition, and equipment have been distributed to the squads, and regional security patrols have been strengthened to severely suppress any signs of turmoil and civil strife."

"I obey," all the officers replied with fists clasped in unison.

Richard's stern eyes swept across the faces of the officers one by one, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Major Dai Changfu, Captain Zheng Laosi"

"The humble position is here." The two people whose names were called both moved forward.

"Major Dai Changfu is hereby appointed as the garrison commander of the Bay Area. He will lead his 1st Fusilier Regiment to guard the new town, Grape Valley and other surrounding areas. He is authorized to use high-pressure means to suppress the local area, eliminate any signs of chaos, and maintain normal production and social stability in the Bay Area. This is

make.

Captain Zheng Laosi serves as the deputy garrison officer and leads the third cavalry team to assist the garrison commander in his work, so there must be no mistake."

"I humble my duty and obey the orders, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Holy One. Otherwise, I will come to see you with my head raised." The two men clasped their fists in unison and responded.

"Lieutenant Colonel Mike Abio, Major Gao Shiheng, Major Duan Debiao, Major Wu Degao, where are you?"

"Your duty is here." The officers whose names were called all stepped forward to respond.

"You will immediately reorganize the troops, replenish ammunition and supplies, and recruit carts, mules, and horses to prepare for the expedition with me. In three days, I will offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the army will be sworn to start. This battle is the first battle after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I hope all generals will fight bravely to kill the enemy.

, serve the kingdom and live up to my expectations!”

"Loyal and fearless, I am invincible. No matter how hard we advance, we can only die." All the officers answered with fists clasped together.

Richard waved his hand and said, "Then each return to the military camp. If there is any missing weapons and equipment, quickly draw up a supplementary list. All officers and soldiers on vacation will be recalled and immediately enter the highest alert state."

"I obey your orders."

After receiving the order, the officers did not dare to slack off, and quickly rode away with their entourage, not mentioning their preparations.

Richard then issued orders to government officials at all levels to step up preparations to build factories and to continue to invest in industrial and agricultural production step by step. The police station assisted the military in maintaining social order and cracked down on illegal activities, and the corrections department strengthened hard labor.

We will continue to promote crime management and continue to promote the construction of roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

The American River Gold Mining Company will expand its recruitment of security personnel. All illegal activities such as fighting over turf, robbery, killing and selling goods, buying and selling by force, and resisting laws and taxes will be severely punished. Except for hanging in serious cases, all other illegal acts will be punished.

Enter a hard labor camp.

There is an acute shortage of labor right now, and hard labor is a good solution.

In a word, stability and unity are the main priorities in the rear area.

After the order was issued, everyone dispersed and followed the king's will to implement wartime controls, which were much stricter than usual.

Everyone around Richard left, leaving only Liu Wu and a small group of soldiers. He looked at the Colt Arms Company not far away and said, "Let's go and see the weapons production?

"

Inside Colt Arms Company

The new factory buildings are still under construction and are not expected to be completed until the end of the year. Today, Colt Arms Company is scattered among farmhouses in villages, which will inevitably affect production efficiency.

Samuel Colt accompanied Richard around various production sites. Today's weapons production is still far from standardization. It is almost half mechanical and half manual, and the overall production efficiency and quality are unsatisfactory.

But this is already relatively advanced equipment and technology in the world today. As an epoch-making master of weapons design and entrepreneur, Samuel Colt has begun to consciously promote standardization and industrialized production. However, limited to the current conditions, the advancement is not smooth.

.

"Mr. Samuel, how is the production status of the 1846 cavalry revolver?"

"Your Majesty, the improved cavalry revolver has been in production for a month and a half, and it can basically reach the level of 82 to 85 guns per week. If the 100 Chinese labor apprentices you transferred to me can successfully start work, the output can be doubled.

Twice. I have to say, just from the perspective of diligence and rigorous attitude, they are all the best workers."

"So... how much longer do you think it will take?"

"Generally speaking, it takes at least one year or more to train qualified technical workers, but these Chinese apprentices are very diligent and can learn what they are taught quickly, and the corresponding time is greatly shortened. I estimate 4 to 5

Moon."

"How many have been produced?"

"There are records of 410 cavalry revolvers leaving the factory, and the factory's batch of 120 can be packed and shipped today."

"Then quickly organize the packaging. These guns will be shipped out today and sent to the front line as quickly as possible. Only when the soldiers are equipped with excellent weapons can they severely attack the enemies who invade the kingdom."

"As you wish, Your Majesty the King."

"Mr. Samuel, can the company expand production as soon as possible? The army is in urgent need of at least one thousand 1846 cavalry revolvers. It can give our soldiers a short-range firepower advantage when fighting the US federal army."

"Uh... I will organize the workers in the weapons factory to work overtime. Some processes that require a lot of time for cutting, boring and milling will be handed over to apprentices at the front end, and the back-end products will be controlled by masters. This can save a lot of time. Under extreme conditions

…We can produce about 150 pieces per week, which takes about 7 weeks.”

"I can only give you 5 weeks. The army needs to obtain 1,000 guns of qualified quality. Please try your best to think of ways to ensure the demand for weapons by frontline soldiers."

"I will try my best... uh, no, I will definitely deliver the goods according to the time you requested, I promise."

"Thank you, oh... By the way, how is the development of the minigun?" Richard blurted out as if he just remembered it.

When he mentioned the machine gun, Samuel Colt's eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed Richard's arm excitedly and said, "Oh, God, Your Majesty the King, this is really a genius idea. I have verified it."

If you know the feasibility of the machine gun, please follow me to the back and I will personally demonstrate this epoch-making weapon to you."

"Oh, that's great."

Several people then came to the testing site. The so-called testing site is a few residential buildings and an open field. All guns produced by the weapons company must be calibrated here to verify the quality.

A hand-operated 7-barreled machine gun appeared in front of everyone, with the muzzle pointed at a small slope 120 meters away. This epoch-making machine gun uses seven hexagonal barrels. The right side of the machine gun is equipped with a yellow

The copper hand crank and the hard straight magazine are located directly above the machine gun, as if it is an upright braid.

"Come on, take a look at my little baby." Samuel Colt patted the minigun with pride and introduced;

"I used a wedge-shaped feed slot for it, which allows the bullet to enter the gun chamber more smoothly and fire in sequence. In the hard straight magazine, I designed a small, orphan-shaped push pull, and used a spring to control the tension. In this way

An epoch-making minigun can fire up to 350 rounds per minute, forming a dense barrage that can frighten the enemy. I firmly believe that any cavalry charge against it would be suicide."

"Is it reliable to use in experiments?"

"There are indeed some small flaws. For example, during experimental launches, shooters often become excited under the fierce firepower and unconsciously speed up the rotation of the handle, resulting in jamming and other malfunctions. But we already have a solution, using

A clever design can solve this problem."

"If it is put into production, how will the output be?"

"Well, we have already trial-produced two miniguns. Each one takes more than five days. If we add more people and make improvements, we can produce one minigun in almost three days."

"Well, let's see how powerful it is first, shall we?"

"Hehehe... Dear His Majesty the King, it will be the most ferocious weapon you have ever seen. You will definitely fall in love with this little baby, I can guarantee it." Samuel Colt said with a joyful expression.

shooting range

The shooter sat behind the minigun, shook the handle and started firing. He only heard "tatatatata...tatadatata..." the sound of gunfire like a rainstorm, and the bullets of the minigun formed a terrifying rain of bullets like a line of fire.

, sending smoke and dust everywhere on the small slope in front.

Standing next to the minigun, the strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air after the black powder was fired, stimulating the crazy secretion of hormones in the man's body, giving him a feeling of relief.

unimaginable

Such dense machine gun bullets are like the scythe of death. When hit, a large piece will fall down, causing a bloody storm. It can be called a sharp weapon to harvest the lives of infantrymen.

In Richard's heart

He was not prepared to use the minigun, a big killer, in this battle. As long as the casualties were within the tolerable range, using the 1846 Colt Cavalry Revolver would be enough to make the Americans drink a pot, and cooperate with the cuirassiers.

With strong defense, winning should be a piece of cake.

More than 1,700 U.S. federal soldiers are not worth fighting.

A powerful weapon such as a heavy machine gun should be firmly held in your hand as a trump card and make a stunning impact at the critical moment.

However, in order to nip it in the bud, we still need to bring a few miniguns with us on this expedition to ensure that we can always control the rhythm of the battle and remain invincible.

Whether it is necessary or not is a different matter. At least having this thing with you makes you feel at ease!

Richard only had such a small amount of chips on hand. If the U.S. federal army got involved and sent heavy troops to make dumplings, he would have no place to cry.

He would never underestimate the cunning of the Yankees. After all, the U.S. federal army could easily dispatch 20,000 to 30,000 people to invade in large numbers. If the Marine Corps of nearly 60,000 people were added, the strength would be more than 30 times that of the Tang Dynasty.

Has an overwhelming advantage.

Even if you pluck out any leg hair, your legs will be thicker than the waist of the Tang Dynasty. The correct way to deal with it is to be cautious and cautious.
