"You're saying that you should give up the high-strength and hardness helmet and settle for the next best?" Lin Weiye was thoughtful.

"Anyway, you can't completely defend against melee attacks, so it's better to just defend against bows and arrows." Xia Nan continued to pace: "The curvature of the helmet can flick the bow and arrow, as long as it is not fatally wounded, the soldier has a better chance of survival." ”

"Even if you use mild steel to make a helmet, it is not easy, and it is obviously beyond our ability to build a one-piece steel helmet, and if you use rivets to splic, the protection ability is definitely not as good as a one-piece one."

"Since steel helmets are difficult to make, why not use them? I remember you said that the barrel can be made of mild steel by the method of rolling, but the cannon cannot be made of such a method, only cast, and I almost took my life in order to find the right coking coal to get the gray iron. Isn't the casting method of the iron helmet the same as the cannon, which is one-piece? ”

"Iron Helmet?" Lin Weiye touched his head. He thought for a moment and told Xia Nan: "The hardness of cast iron is good. However, the mechanical properties of iron are not as good as steel, even if it is gray cast iron, it cannot be made very thin, and the helmet produced in this way is very bulky - it is a problem for soldiers to wear and walk, let alone fight - so ancient iron helmets are riveted with forged iron sheets. Cast iron is more suitable for casting cannons than helmets. ”

"That's it." Xia Nanyi shook his head again and again when he heard this, "Since the cost of low-carbon steel is cheap and the technical difficulty is low, let's use low-carbon steel." The hardness may be almost meaningless, but at least it has the advantage of good flexibility and is easy to forge. ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "That's right, the iron helmet still doesn't think about it." In this way, we can't do a one-piece steel helmet, or use the riveting method to make a steel helmet, try to reduce the number of steel plates, control it at about two or three steel plates, and make the steel plate in front as wide as possible to protect the front from arrows. This can at least be made thinner than a one-piece cast iron helmet, and has higher protection than a spliced iron helmet. ”

"That's all it takes, it's better than nothing to have a steel hat on your head. You can get this slowly, anyway, we don't need it at the moment, and we won't be in contact with Houjin in the short term. ”

Xia Nan ended the topic of steel helmets, reached out and dipped some tea, drew a pattern of flat hats on the table, and said to Lin Weiye: "Steel helmets are just a kind of strengthening equipment, cloth hats can be used for daily use, I think flat hats are good, better than any triangular hat or boat-shaped hat." ”

"For thousands of years, the Chinese army has not used boat-shaped hats, and tricorne hats have been used in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Lin Weiye took a closer look and agreed with his point of view. "And this flat hat is similar to the PLA training uniform, and it is also a bit similar to the hat of some special forces, which is very durable, and looks better than the Penny hat."

"Penny?"

"The Penny hat is one of the standard equipment for special forces, especially in jungle operations. To put it simply, the brim of this flat hat changes from the front to a circle, and the word Penny is a transliteration of the English round edge. ”

"That round-brimmed hat, huh? I often see it on TV, but I don't like it, haha. ”

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say, a flat hat is a flat hat. But the hat has to have a badge or logo, it's not good-looking. ”

"Actually, it's easy to get a pentagram, but then it's completely a PLA. It's better to use a circle, a southern character in the middle, the same as the epaulettes, and gold characters on a red background. ”

Lin Weiye imagined it in his mind, it seemed to be not bad, nodded and said: "The southern character in the middle looks like a badge pattern at first glance, it's quite like that." ”

"The military uniform has been decided, the military system has also been decided, let's also set the structure of the troops, it's not complicated, anyway, the current strength plus the reduction of troops is not enough to form a regiment, only two and a half battalions."

"This is easy to do, it is organized into two battalions, and the rest can be organized into reserves or guard forces, you are now the core of everyone, and no one around you can protect you. It's just that you have to consider the selection of officers, and who is on and who is not. ”

"I've thought about this many times, Huang Hansheng and Yang Youji are relatives, but Yang Youji is more responsible for protection work, and he doesn't directly command the battle much, and he doesn't have a strong desire to command the army, since you propose to set up a guard unit, then Yang Youji will be the chief officer of this army. In terms of combat units, the first battalion appointed Huang Hansheng as the battalion commander. Although Wei Lianheng was an old-style military attache who surrendered halfway, his military quality was very good, and he could be of great use after some training, and he could be appointed as the commander of the second battalion. The remaining Huang Mengjia is brave and brave, and his brain is not stupid, but it is always a little bit out of place with our pure firearms troops, you can consider setting up a special unit, using firearms and cold weapons together, selecting soldiers with outstanding melee ability, and can be used as a tactical reserve or supervision team as needed in wartime, and can simulate an imaginary enemy during peacetime drills to improve the ability of the troops to deal with cold weapons troops. ”

Lin Weiye said: "This arrangement is very thoughtful. But where did you get the inspiration for your special unit? ”

"Hehe, I referred to Houjin's Bayara. Bayala is a carefully selected fighter from Houjin, and the number is not too many, but the physical fitness, combat skills, and combat experience are all top-notch. In wartime, Bayala played a number of roles: the general's personal guard, battlefield reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance light cavalry, tactical reserve or war overseer. Anyway, with the firepower of flintlock pistols, it is impossible to fight without contact, and hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons cannot be completely avoided, so that such a unit can be invested in the weak link when it is most needed, so as to avoid being broken through the formation by the enemy's close combat. ”

"Sounds like a look. Don't say it, such a role is very suitable for Huang Mengjia, and it is a bit too wasteful of his muscles to ask him to honestly line up with a rifle to shoot, and this role of the Blue Army is very suitable for him to play. ”

In the summer, Nan sent people to recruit Huang Hansheng, William and others, informed them of the military system of regiments, battalions, and companies, and announced the decision: to form two battalions, with the old guards, the local soldiers, the tenants, and the officers and soldiers to disrupt and mix, and use the old to lead the new, with a total of 1,000 people in each battalion and ten companies. Huang Hansheng, commander of the first battalion, Wei Lianheng, commander of the second battalion; Yang Youji is the captain of the guard team and forms a guard team to protect the safety of Xia Nan; Huang Mengjia was the captain of the special combat team, formed a special combat team, served as a reserve team and a supervising team during the war, and was responsible for training with troops with cold weapons in peacetime. As for the navy, it is very simple, there are currently only five Wuyi-class ships in total, and William is the commander of the fleet.
