Chapter 63: New Weapons

If they want to break the old world, they must first start by transforming these Liao people, and how much of a place can they manage just by relying on these people from the Far East Company. This is especially true for the troops, how to ensure the absolute loyalty of the troops, so that they have an iron will, these must start from the most basic work, the more solid the foundation, the more stable the new world they will build in the future.

Zhang Jiang also spoke at this time, he glanced at Li Ming, and said sternly: "Tiexiong and a few of them are in a bit of a hurry, but the armament plan of your Ministry of Security will not work, it is simply messing around." I still mean that, which is to put it to the truth, you two look at some of the things we have made, and they are definitely much better than your backward front-loading guns. ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room first, and the other members of the technical team also went out. Song Tao smiled at Li Ming and said: "I'll just say that there is a problem with your plan, you and Lao Gao still insist, now it's okay, even I was shot while lying down." I'm more wronged than Dou E, in fact, I and that Li Tiexiong have the same idea. ”

Li Mingzheng was on fire, and when he heard Song Tao say this, he gave him a neck slip and said angrily: "You are a member of the Security Department, if you dare to defect from the battle, you will not want to lead troops in the future, and there is no traitor like you in the Security Department." If you want to play Infernal Affairs, just your heart, it's better to save it. ”

After he finished speaking, he also stood up and walked out of the house, leaving Song Tao alone with tears streaming down his face. Is it easy to goth, both sides are not pleasing to me, they are especially hard at me, I ...... I don't have the same knowledge as you. Thinking of this, he also ran out of the house.

Li Ming and Song Tao came to an empty warehouse, where several tables were already set up, on which were placed a few rifles, pistols, and three artillery pieces on the ground. Li Ming and Song Tao did not speak to the people from the technical department, but walked directly to the table, and one of them picked up a rifle and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Jiang walked over and said proudly: "This is our stereotyped straight-pull bolt-action rifle, we call it the 1628 rifle, in fact, it is an imitation of the Shasebo rifle, but the materials and craftsmanship are definitely much better than the prototype gun, and we have improved some of the shortcomings of the Xia Saibo rifle, not only to improve the performance, but also to simplify some cumbersome design, many parts are stamping process.

Still with paper-wrapped bullets and black propellants, but the performance has been greatly improved. The total length is 130.5 cm, the weight is 4.5 kg, the caliber is 11 mm, and the effective range is 900 meters. After research, we decided to use the original 72 cm bayonet of the Chasebo rifle, which was 1.88 meters long when the bayonet was installed.

The main consideration is that in the event of a surprise attack by the Tartar cavalry, the warriors have weapons that can deal with the cavalry in an emergency. In later street battles, in a narrow space, it is also possible to fight with a bayonet as a short sword. We have produced 20,000 sets of barrels and parts of this rifle. Arriving in Vladivostok, where wooden components were produced, they were assembled and ready for use, and now all of them have been shipped. ”

Li Ming picked up the bayonet next to him that looked like a Turkish Atcan scimitar, and first took it in his hand and waved it a few times, feeling very handy. Once encountered in a street fight in the future, this is a sharp weapon to kill. Li Ming put the bayonet on the rifle again and made several assassination movements in front of him.

This is a spear, even if the Houjin Horse Team and the Mongolian rangers encountered, they rushed in front of them, and the spear forest composed of the warriors was enough for the Tartars to drink a pot. The crooked bayonets, flashing with a cold light, are a very cool thing to watch.

Reluctantly, he put down his rifle and picked up a revolver next to him. Li Ming knows this kind of pistol, which is the famous Colt M1873 single-action revolver, the kind that needs to be carried by hand, and also uses paper-wrapped bullets.

"This is a Type 1628 revolver produced by our technical department, with a caliber of 11.43 mm and a capacity of 6 rounds. It is divided into two specifications, one is a cavalry version with a barrel of 190 mm. The other is an officer type with a barrel of 140 mm. Of course, we still made some improvements, and there were great improvements in craftsmanship and materials, and the performance also surpassed the original model. We have produced 5000 sets of components. ”

Li Ming listened to Zhang Jiang's introduction and nodded with satisfaction, but he suddenly asked, "How did you solve the bullet problem of these firearms?" ”

Zhang Jiang took out a few bullets from his pocket and handed them to Li Ming. Then he said with a smile: "The pure lead warhead is cast from a mold made by our company itself." The cardboard tube at the back was ordered by a factory that produces paper cups, and it is coated on both sides, and the moisture resistance is much better than that of ordinary paper shells.

We have been tested many times and the performance is very stable. We ordered 50 million of these tubes. The primer is also outsourced, but the manufacturer is not in China, but in a certain country in Southeast Asia, we have customized 200 million at one time, and it has arrived in Vladivostok, which is very troublesome to produce, but 200 million is enough to use the day when our process reaches the standard in the future.

We have already entered a batch of equipment for the production of paper tubes, and the pulp and some ingredients can also be solved locally in Vladivostok. We only produced part of the granular gunpowder, which has no scientific and technological content, and can be mass-produced in another time and space. ”

Li Ming played with the bullet in his hand for a while, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the Ministry of Security, I would like to thank the experts of the Technical Department for developing such a good weapon for our fighters, and everyone has worked hard." ”

After speaking, Li Ming also bowed to a group of technicians, these intellectuals and technical nerds, although they are sometimes very stubborn, but they are all smooth donkeys that eat soft and do not eat hard, and they are embarrassed to see Li Ming like this.

Zhang Jiang also went up and just held Li Ming's hands, and said with a smile: "What are we working for, you will work hard as our company's armed forces in the future." We were just in the rear, doing our best to get the best equipment into the hands of the fighters as quickly as possible. Is this all what we should do? Moreover, we and the Ministry of Security only have some communication problems, which are not the main contradiction at all. After I set up the ordnance department of our technical group, we can communicate with the security department at any time, and the technical personnel will also go down to the grassroots company platoon of the unit to mingle with the soldiers and listen to the soldiers' feelings about the use of weapons, so as to improve the subsequent strength of the guns. ”

After he finished speaking, he cordially pulled Li Ming and Song Tao and came to the front of several artillery, he first came to a petite artillery piece and introduced it to Li Ming.

"This is an infantry support artillery developed on the basis of Japan's Type 92 infantry artillery, but considering the Houjin armed forces we are facing, and even the pure firearms troops of European and American countries in the future, their artillery does not pose much threat to us. After the study of the ordnance department of our technical group, it was decided that the annealed artillery was still chosen.

It cannot be said that it is a simple annealing gun, this gun also has a simple retreat and re-entry device, but the stroke is short, but for this kind of small-caliber, short-caliber light artillery is enough. The principle is to use friction cork and the cushion return spring of the gun body to double relieve the recoil of the gun firing. The advantages of this device are that it is simple and practical, and the kit is extremely inexpensive to produce, and it is easy to replace, so it can be produced in Vladivostok in another time and space. Although there is still a certain gap in stability, rate of fire and tube withdrawal, it is enough for us at the moment.

The barrel is 8.79 times the caliber long, the gun weighs 0.185 tons, is 2.745 meters long, 0.62 meters high (with shield), has a high and low firing angle of -10 degrees to +70, a maximum range of 2000 meters, and a minimum range of 100 meters. This kind of front-line support artillery, as a standard equipment at the battalion and regimental level of the troops, can be pulled and run by a few people at critical moments, and when fighting in the streets, it is completely possible to use the tactics of "bayonets on artillery" to shoot at close range. ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up a few shells from the ground next to him, and began to introduce them to Li Ming and Song Tao with great interest: "We also use paper-shell integrated shells, which include scattered shells, grenades, and grenades. In the future, we will also develop **, flares, and chemical bombs. ”

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side of the other gun, touched the barrel and said: "This is our latest 75-mm mountain gun, which is imitated from the Krupp 75-mm mountain gun, but the buffer reset device is the same as the 70-mm infantry gun." The caliber is 75 mm, the barrel length is 15 times the diameter, the gun body length is 1050 mm, the gun carriage is double-wheeled and single-legged, the high and low firing range is -8 degrees ~ 15 degrees, the maximum firing range is 3500 meters, and the gun weighs 405 kg. ”

He walked to the side of the other two guns, sighed and said: "This is a 90-mm field gun and a 105-mm cannon, but in the end, after careful consideration, we decided to give up, although the power is not small, but the weight is too heavy, the road conditions of that era, in the case of mule-horse infantry, these two types of artillery and large-caliber mortars are too poor."

And we deliberately pulled these guns to the open sea with a freighter for test firing, 70 mm and 75 mm guns, very stable, fully met the design requirements, but these two guns have such and such problems. We'll destroy them in a moment. Later, in Vladivostok, another time and space, we will still have to develop 60 mm, 82 mm, and 120 mm mortars. We have purchased a lot of seamless steel pipes of various calibers, and we have entrusted the Vladivostok branch to the sight scope, and we have found a lot of them in the Russian army's combat readiness warehouse, as well as solid rubber tires for two types of light artillery, and we have also found a lot of them in the warehouse.
