Chapter 329 Regulations on the Placement of Retired Servicemen
The pirates' affairs can be put aside and see how they perform in the coming period. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to choose a big pirate who is closer, and with the momentum of thunder, to make an example of the last time.
Pirates have always been the best at judging the situation, and as long as they are ruthless and fast enough, they should not end the current civil war between pirates and let them form an alliance.
Therefore, Chen Xin's focus was still on the "Southern Development Plan" and began to retire servicemen from the field units on active duty in a planned manner.
In order to institutionalize retirement, a new Military Service Law, or tentatively known as the "Military Service Regulations", was enacted.
The regulations stipulate that citizens of the United Kingdom of China, regardless of race, ethnicity, occupation, origin, religious belief or educational level, must serve in the military for a certain period of time as long as they are within a certain age, and this military service system is compulsory.
In parallel with the compulsory military service system, another type of voluntary military service system is also implemented.
However, the corresponding length of service, as well as some other details, still need to be discussed at a meeting, so the military service system cannot be taken out in a short time.
In order to catch up with this wave of spring ploughing and let the veterans retire as soon as possible, Chen Xin first took out the retirement part of the military service system.
Every veteran who has been in the army for many years is a valuable asset, and Chen Xin cannot let them leave easily and lose their ties with the Royal Army.
Therefore, the preliminary "Regulations on the Resettlement of Retired Servicemen" came into effect.
Retired servicemen can receive a pension plus a piece of resettlement land according to their rank, position, length of service, and other conditions when they were in the army.
The fields can be taken care of by the veterans themselves, or they can be handed over to the Military Assets Committee as an agent, waiting for dividends every year.
After discharge, the serviceman is immediately transferred to the reserve and needs to be dispatched and ordered by the General Staff and the relevant units of the reserve at any time.
With the promulgation of the regulations on the resettlement of retired soldiers, the first batch of ordinary soldiers who have not been able to be promoted to non-commissioned officers for a long time have begun the work of resettlement of retired soldiers.
Each of them brought 10 new immigrants to participate in the "Southern Development Plan", and the 10 new immigrants were organized into a group with a team leader, and the retired soldiers were the team leaders.
Next, the second batch of retirees are those soldiers who have not been able to make new contributions for a long time after being promoted to non-commissioned officers.
The 10 groups became a task force, with team leaders, and these non-commissioned officers were team leaders.
The 10 task forces are organized into a company with a president. According to the productivity of this era and the traffic situation, this president is the most important leadership position at the grassroots level in a short period of time, so Chen Xin transferred a part of the tiger ben from the tiger camp to serve as the president.
The situation at the grassroots level is the most complicated, and it is easy for accidents to occur among the immigrants, and with these tigers watching below, Chen Xin can be a little more relieved.
Originally, according to Chen Xin's idea, the retired personnel should be retired with their own weapons, so that they can be regarded as having a certain self-protection ability before the militia organization in the new settlement area is established.
However, after half a year of fighting, at the recent military summary meeting, many companies raised the issue that the four-year rifle was problematic and not easy to use.
After Chen Xin urgently spot-checked a batch of weapons, he found that it turned out that because of the problem of processing accuracy, the connection between the locked bolting structure and the chute was a little loose, which was originally nothing.
However, after a long battle, because the ammunition supply in the rear was not timely, the soldiers temporarily used the ammunition of the militia's two-year rifles, which were directly loaded into the chamber.
Without the protection and restraint of the copper shell of the standard ammunition, the expanded gunpowder gas constantly hit the bolt locking mechanism, allowing it to slowly begin to detach from the chute, and finally there was a serious air leakage.
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xin to blame those fighters who do not use weapons in accordance with the regulations.
Because, the battle at that time was too fierce, and the copper shell in the rear was insufficient, and it was impossible for the soldiers to fight Houjin empty-handed.
In the final analysis, it is the responsibility of Chen Xin himself and the person who determined the rifle standard.
It is taken for granted that this kind of weapon with a fast enough rate of fire is suitable for the use of Xuanjun equipment.
However, because the rate of fire was too fast, the machined copper-shelled bullets in the rear could not be supplied in time, which caused the current situation.
Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, "There are too many times ahead, and there will really be problems." ”
There is such a big thing going on with standard weapons. , the idea that the carry-on followed the retired was broken.
However, Chen Xin could not let the veterans go empty-handed.
So, under an order, the ordnance factory urgently modified a batch of flintlock pistols based on the two-year-old arquebus and distributed them to the veterans.
The flintlock mechanism has been sufficiently improved on the four-year rifle, as long as the barrel structure of the two-year arquebus is replaced with a slightly modified four-year rifle flintlock mechanism, it is a two-year modified flintlock pistol.
At this time, a resentment arose again in Chen Xinzhong, in the barrel or even in the barrel, the rifling technology had already been possessed by his own side.
However, it is still the same sentence, guns are easy to make, but bullets are difficult to handle.
It is a good choice to use historical Mineron bullets, but the lead block is too soft, it is easy to attach lead to rifling, copper is too expensive, and you are not yet extravagant enough to treat copper as a disposable consumable. As for the use of other alloys, the recipe is difficult.
In desperation, it has been 5 years since he traveled, and his subordinates can only use smoothbore guns, Chen Xin sighed again.
However, in fact, the smoothbore gun is not too bad, especially after the processing technology reaches a certain level and can be standardized, the power and accuracy of the smoothbore gun have been qualitatively improved.
Many people believe that the accuracy of smoothbore guns is very low, and they can only shoot targets within 50 meters.
Judging by the historical battles, this is indeed true.
In the 18th century, in the 50s, two Prussian infantry companies were assigned to target a wooden plank 7 meters wide and 10 meters high, and the result was only 12.5 percent at a distance of 200 meters, and only 46 percent at a distance of 100 meters.
The French hit even worse, with 720 French soldiers shooting a 3 by 3 meter target, and at a distance of 100 meters only 52 people hit the target, and at a distance of 200 meters, only 18 people hit the target.
These two experiments seem to be very revealing, but the reality is much more complicated than that.
