A few days later, Lin Weiye brought a set of red military uniforms to Xia Nan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xia Nan picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully, and praised: "The design is good, and the craftsmanship is good." That's what I want to be simple and functional. And from a distance, it looks like the mandarin duck battle jacket of the Ming army. ”

He looked at the armed belt: "I didn't expect this, Lao Lin is very thoughtful." "This primitive belt is naturally not as delicate as that of later generations, and it is very simple to be fastened with an iron buckle after being simply tanned, but it can indeed enhance the image when tied around the waist.

Lin Weiye said: "Soldiers don't need it, it's for officers, and in the future, you can hang a command knife, and when we get a short gun, that is, a pistol, you can also hang a pistol." But you always think about the same as the mandarin duck jacket of the Ming army, are you waiting for the day when you are recruited? ”

"It's always right to be prepared." Xia Nan said with a smile, "If you don't play with the prefect of Qiongzhou this time, it doesn't mean that you won't play with the government in the future." In the future, if I have the opportunity to come to a big man who speaks effectively, I am still willing to infiltrate the system of officers and soldiers and mix in. ”

Lin Weiye tried to ask: "It's all red anyway, or why don't you just make it the uniform of the 6th Army of the British Army in the 18th century?" ”

As the empire on which the sun never sets, Britain's influence was widespread around the world: the parka was the traditional garment of the British fisherman, and the tuxedo was formed by the British cavalry cutting off the front of the coat. The military uniform of the modern British army is a uniform red military coat with black lapels, white half-length pants and stockings, wearing a trimmed tricorneal hat, wearing black leather shoes and long shoe covers, and the gentleman is full of style, because the British army wearing a bright red military uniform looks very similar to a boiled lobster from a distance, so it is called "lobster soldiers", and this kind of clothing has been worn for two centuries without major changes.

When Xia Nan heard the bright red military uniform, he immediately thought of the exaggerated costumes of British and French soldiers in European and American movies in the 17th and 18th centuries, with bright colors, cumbersome decorations, and a feather on his head.

“n！ I don't want that kind of flashy costume. Besides, this costume is too poorly concealed, isn't it a live target on the battlefield? ”

Lin Weiye tried to explain the difference between the flint gun era and the rifled gun era: "In the flint gun era, range and accuracy were big problems, and there was no need for concealment in military uniforms. Besides, our opponent doesn't even have a flint gun, and there is no opponent to play and line up to shoot. ”

Xia Nan still shook his head: "The range of the arquebus is not shorter than that of the flint, so there is no threat from the Ming army's bird guns?" Houjin's army will also have artillery in the future, and people will also be able to attack from a distance. Anyway, it's not going to work like a turkey. If it is said that the warships and artillery of the Ming Dynasty began to lag behind the West, we are ashamed and brave, and it is reasonable to learn from the West, and other things I think are good from our ancestors, so why do we have to learn from foreign countries. ”

Lin Weiye scratched his head, although he thought that Xia Nan was unfounded, and the Ming army's suspicious lethality of the bird guns and Houjin's more primitive cannons obviously would not pose much threat to the escort team, but he couldn't say that Xia Nan's thinking was wrong, after all, the trend of the evolution of military uniforms was to move closer to practicality, and the appearance of camouflage uniforms was out of the pursuit of concealment performance.

"Do you want to learn from the Germans? The German military uniform in World War II was called a handsome! ”

In the minds of many military fans, the military uniforms of the German army during World War II were very handsome, with three-dimensional tailoring, reasonable waists, and coordinated proportions of medals and accessories.

"Nazis?" Xia Nan shook his head again and again when he heard this, although no one in this time and space knew that the mustache Hitler would not touch the red line in the hearts of the world, but he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

"Not the SS, not the Gestapo, it's the Wehrmacht," Lin Weiye insisted quietly, but it was obvious that it would be difficult to explain the difference between the Wehrmacht and the SS to a half-army blind, and he soon gave up.

It's a pity, he likes the German military uniforms of World War II and the modern British military uniforms very much, the German military uniforms are so handsome that they have no friends except for the Nazi factors, and the British military uniforms reveal a kind of gentleman's style everywhere, and the "big boss" in front of him is really illiterate.

Looking at him scratching his head and scratching his ears, Xia Nan smiled and said, "Whether it is the uniform of the German army or the British army, you can dispel this idea." I've seen Hollywood blockbusters, and the German costumes are really good-looking, but do you think the malnourished Chinese peasants in the 17th century could afford to wear them? What is national is the world, and what suits our national conditions is the best. ”

Lin Weiye was speechless. He has seen online otaku military fans buy imitation World War II German uniforms, because they do not have the figure of Germanic people, they look obscene after wearing them, and they are alive and well compared with Taobao buyer shows and seller shows. The natives of this time and space are generally thin and short, and naturally they can't support the tall and slim German uniforms.

"Well, I can't argue with you, your idea is the best fit for the current situation." Lin Weiye eventually gave up. The original version of the military uniform of the escort was set as an improved version of the Ming army's mandarin duck battle jacket.

After the school and military uniform matters came to an end, Lin Weiye's focus temporarily shifted to naval guns.

The launch of the first battleship allowed the Hiroke shipyard to accumulate experience in the new Galen ship, and after that, the construction of warships of the same tonnage and type could greatly shorten the construction time, and Charles optimistically estimated that the time could be compressed from more than half a year to about four months. The second and third ships had already been built simultaneously, and the dockyard was enough to start building more ships at the same time, but unfortunately there were not so many shipwrights.

The casting of naval guns is also in full swing, naval guns are different from 6-place field guns, and the existing 12-pounder mountain howitzers are only enough to tickle when they encounter large ships, and at most a dozen small fishing boats.

According to Lin Weiye's assumption, 5-ton warships, and even larger tonnage warships, can use Caron guns as the main gun. The advantage of the Caron gun is that compared to the cannon of the same weight, the gun body is shorter, the caliber is larger, and the gun body can shoot larger and heavier shells, and the short gun body makes the reload faster, which can greatly improve the fire, and the disadvantage is that the firing range is short, and it needs to be fired closely.

However, in Lin Weiye's view, in the Chinese sea, the shortcomings of the Caron cannon can be ignored, during this time period, only the Dutch have decent warships in the entire Chinese seas, but the number is not much, and the rest of the maritime forces are mainly based on the gangside jumper, at most add a fireboat tactic, even if you shoot within 1 meter, you don't have to worry about being counterattacked by heavy firepower. To be continued.
