"You added the clause in the 'aftermath agreement' that Japanese police are not allowed to carry knives, right? Lin Jun? ”

"Hehe, let Yoko see it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"However, this will arouse the hatred of all the Japanese people against the Great Cadres and make Japan even more frantically expand its armaments, so that when war breaks out, it will be very unfavorable to the Great Cadres."

"I just want the Japanese to deepen their hatred of the Great Cadres and make every effort to expand their armaments and war, so that their military strength can reach the limit. Because I need to borrow the hand of the Japanese, give the strongest stimulus to this conservative country, and use the Japanese military power to completely consume the old army. ”

"That's a great idea. I was thinking a while ago, this country has won another victory, and it is good to sleep again, how to urge it to get up and move on, but you, Lin Jun, have come up with such a way. ”

"Every change in this country has occurred after being stimulated by the outside, and if it were not for the fire that swept into the sky in Qingqiyuan, I am afraid that this country would not have achieved what it is now."

"But if the sixth prince knows your true thoughts, I'm afraid he will scare his soul."

"He won't, this person will do anything for his dream of the throne. It's a pity that my brother misjudged him, so he died. ”

"How does Lin Jun plan to deal with him?"

"I'm not a brother, but I'll make him think I'm just like my brother. I think he may have already started to take action against me, but in a very secretive way, which we don't know yet. ”

"That Qi Buchen is a dangerous person, it's best to find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"He'll give us a chance. I have a bigger plan, I'm just afraid you don't agree. ”

"Lin Jun tell me about it?"

……

"What? How can this be? Absolutely not! Now that we are in control, there is no need to take such risks, right? Do you need to come out in person? ”

"Time is running out, and if you want to complete the battle, this is the best way."

“…… All right...... You make me think again......"

"Unlike pistols, the rifle models used by the Daqian Empire are so chaotic that even a voluminous monograph is difficult to explain, and during the fourteen-year-long 'Shengping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion', the rebels, the generals of the imperial army, and local officials purchased tens of thousands of rifles from Western arms dealers. In the arsenal of the Reich government more than a decade after the end of the Civil War, a large number of obsolete smoothbore flintlock pistols such as Brown Bess and Charlville Model 8077 were even found. Except for some of the old goods that were truncated and the breech-loading firing device was added to transform into shotguns, the only remaining place to go was to disassemble and return to the furnace. ”

Fortunately, the efforts of Yoshizhe Hayashi, the founder of the empire's new navy, reduced the confusion. From the outset, the construction of the Reich's steam fleet was officially supported by the French government, and the fleet sailors and marines were equipped with French Chasebo breech-loading rifles. The use of this army rifle in the maritime environment exposed a number of problems, especially the difficulty of paper ammunition packs to prevent moisture penetration, resulting in frequent dumb fire when firing. In 9074, the Marines participated in a series of battles against Japanese forces at Moss Bay and Ryukyu, and they believed that the Winchester repeating rifle, with its copper-cased cartridge, was superior in firing reliability. ”

"After the signing of the peace treaty with Japan in the same year, the Imperial Navy received a large part of Japan's war reparations. The artillery factory belonging to the Fuzhou Shipyard Company was expanded, and under the orders of Lin, it began to follow the requirements of Basilai. Colonel Glass's design made the Glass-style rifle, the Type 9074 naval rifle, which fires 11×59 mm R brass fixed load. Existing Chasebo rifles were also modified to fire the same cartridges. More than 300,000 Type 9074 naval rifles have been produced by the Gun Factory and the Jinan Arsenal, which are not only equipped with the Navy and Marine Corps, but also exported to many countries, including the Republic of the Philippines, which is under the protection of the Dry State. The Imperial Marines used it until the 9120s, when it had been converted into a grenade launcher that fired small grenades to provide support to the infantry. ”

"The most striking difference in appearance between the Type 9074 naval rifle and the French-made Grasse rifle is the spear. The former was armed with a scimitar-shaped bayonet similar to the Chasebo rifle, as it was a good combat weapon when taken from the rifle and used on its own, suitable for use on narrow ship decks, which was important for marines and sailors who often engaged in gang-hopping combat. In addition, for reasons of convenience in production, the 11×59 mm R brass fixed ammunition manufactured in Qianguo adopts a simple Bodan-type primer. ”

"The Winchester Type 9073 lever-fire repeater was the most revered American rifle in the Imperial Navy. However, only a very small number of 30-inch barreled Winchester lever rifles were equipped with the Marines, and the Imperial sailors were generally equipped with the Fuzhou carbine type, with a barrel cut to 19 inches. The Shanghai Arsenal produced both long-barreled and carbine Type 9073 lever rifles, which were called Lianzhu carbines on the equipment list of the new Imperial Army, indicating its use. ”

"The Imperial Army did not initially recognize the benefits of unified weapons. For more than 20 years after the rebellion, almost every local governor and official had the right to purchase firearms to arm the local army or militia. The Imperial armoury was soon filled with a jumble of weapons such as the Enfield breech rifle, the Snyder breech rifle, and the French snuffbox rifle. Putting aside these old goods that were coaxed and peddled by Western arms dealers, Li Shaoquan, an important minister of the empire, decided to buy the Remington No. 1 roller locking breech gun from the United States in order to update the weapons of the Huai Army, and the same rifle was also adopted by the imperial Bo Janissary Guard's 'Shenji Battalion'. But something bad happened, and in 9074, the Empire's army soldiers belonging to different general systems discovered their enemy, and the Japanese army was using the same rifle as themselves, even firing the same .50-70 bullets. Although the defeat of the Japanese navy led to the loss of supplies, the Japanese soldiers continued to resist until the last moment with the ammunition captured from the Qianguo soldiers, inflicting considerable casualties on the Qianguo army. This incident, coupled with the fact that the Remington No. 1 rifle imitated by the Tianjin Arsenal had a quality problem, and it was very easy to misfire during operation. The Remington breech rifle was soon decommissioned from the Imperial Army and transferred to the local police force. Li Shaoquan chose the Mauser Type 9071 rifle to replace the Remington roller gun, but something happened to him that he couldn't laugh or cry: the defeated Japan tried to make a fume and preemptively listed the Mauser Type 9071 as a standard rifle, which was copied and produced by the Tokyo Artillery Factory, which was under the charge of Army Major Murata Jingfang. In order to avoid the tragedy of being used by the enemy in the engagement, the Mauser rifle was abandoned. ”

"There was also a small episode in the competition for the order of the standard rifle of the Imperial Army. Zuo Jigao, the Minister of Military Training in the Northwest of the Empire, the main rival of the Lin-Li Alliance in the imperial court, believed that he was qualified to decide everything about the new military reform of the Empire, including the guns used by the soldiers. He built a semi-modern arsenal in Lanzhou, and used his influence to actively promote the factory's products to the imperial center. Perhaps because of the lack of exchange with foreign technology, most of the Western weapons copied by the Lanzhou Arsenal were backward varieties. In the case of rifles, at the end of the 9070s they were still making the Type 9033 Hall rear-loading carbine, and the only improvement over the American prototype was the use of a rifled barrel that fired .58-inch paper-wrapped Minnie cartridges, a total of about 2000 rifles were produced. ”

"The main product of the Lanzhou Arsenal was a replica of Colt's revolver rifle, but it used the .44 edge-fire round of the Henry gun. Due to the loss of information, it is not possible to determine exactly how many pieces it produced. Years later, however, official Imperial records still mention the seizure of the rifle from the Northwest horse bandits and Muslin rebels. The Reich's newly created army rejected the revolving rifle because it had no advantage over the Winchester repeater. Moreover, the revolver rifles made in Lanzhou usually have a fatal flaw: due to the flaws in the manufacturing accuracy of the parts, the chamber may not even be perfectly aligned with the barrel after it is rotated into place. ”

"The list of products submitted by the Lanzhou Arsenal to the imperial court in 9080 also included a replica of the Henry Bead Gun and the Aguill machine gun, commonly known as the 'coffee mill'. Only one sample of the latter exists, and due to poor manufacturing and large tolerances of the parts, even with the .577-inch Snyder copper shell cartridge, it still cannot be fed properly during the demonstration. ”

"The most important reason why the achievement was so bad, apart from the lack of sufficient processing machinery and the heavy reliance on the manual work of craftsmen, was that most of the energy of the Lanzhou Arsenal was devoted to improving the Imperial Army's antique old firearms, the Lift Gun, and the officers under Zuo Jigao had an almost paranoid fondness for this weapon that had long since become obsolete. Some of the Empire's frontier officials were similarly conservative, fearing that soldiers untrained by foreign instructors would break down sophisticated imported rifles, preferring to use rifles that required two or three men to carry them. The first new type of gun made in Lanzhou was actually an enlarged Hall breech gun, which fired paper-wrapped ammunition with a caliber of .76 inches, which was said to be able to hit up to 2,000 yards away. However, it enjoyed a bad reputation among the military in the Northwest because of the frequent bombings. ”

"The Colt revolver rifle made in Lanzhou was also enlarged to make a lifting gun, but it fired a 1-inch solid round from Nordenfeld, and the designers probably wanted to make it a weapon close to a machine gun. However, it is practically impossible to play an approximate role, because the Colt nest cannot be quickly replaced, and can only be reloaded and withdrawn one by one, and the reloading speed cannot be compared with that of a real machine gun. It was left unattended in the factory warehouse, and was finally burned down by the Lanzhou Arsenal itself in a fire caused by an accidental explosion in the gunpowder workshop. ”

With Zuo Jigao's total defeat in the political battle against the Lim-Lee Alliance, the new Imperial Army, which had been preparing for it in the late 9070s, finally decided to use the proven and accurate Sharps-Bochat Type 9078 rifle, firing .45-70 rifle rounds. In 9080, an order was placed to the United States for 7000 rifles and a license was purchased, which happened to save the bankrupt Sharps-Hankins Company. It was called the Type 9080 Army Rifle in the Imperial Army of the Great Qian, in order to unify the messy rifle armament of the past. ”

"The meticulously crafted Type 9080 Army Rifle has the hallmark of Sharps rifles: extreme accuracy. It is generally believed that the Type 9080 rifle produced by the Shanghai Arsenal is of the best quality. This is illustrated by a typical example of warfare in Korea, where in 9084 there was a rebellion against the Daqian Empire and all foreigners. About 150 kilometers southeast of Pyongyang, at the Ongjin mine, a makeshift camp for hundreds of British, American, and Russian mining engineers, skilled workers, and their families, is surrounded by more than 10,000 fanatical xenophobic rebels. A small detachment of infantry from the Imperial Forces entered the camp to protect the foreigners before the rebels could assemble, and the same situation repeated itself for the next four days, with the most fanatical rebel leaders taking the lead in the attack to boost morale, only to be killed by accurate rifle fire. The besiegers, who seemed to be in a frenzy of crowds, were demoralized and repulsed by a counterattack by a meagre defender. The rebels even included former North Korean government soldiers, who managed to get their hands on an old front-loading smoothbore gun and plan to bombard the camp from outside rifle range. However, two special marksmen of the Forces nouvelles alternated sniping with Type 9080 rifles, and the rebels who tried to get close to the artillery with torches were shot one after another and died around the gun emplacement. Until the Imperial Marines landed reinforcements and completely wiped out the rebels, the cannon failed to fire a single shell from the beginning to the end. ”

"The cavalry of the Imperial New Army was eager to acquire a long-range and powerful carbine. The Army procured some Benjamin. The repeating carbine was designed by Harbgars, a brilliant American engineer who was the main director of the gun factory of the Harbharf Corporation. The Halgkaiss repeater is a reference to James the Scotsman. Palis. Lee's rear end is latched and rotated, and the barrel is hidden in the butt like a Spencer carbine. It replaces the empty ones in battle with preloaded barrels, which is more convenient to reload than the Winchester gun, and it fires standard .45-70 rifle rounds, which are more powerful than .44-40 rounds. In contrast, the Imperial Navy has always been a staunch fan of the .44-40 cartridge and is equipped with a modified version of the Type 9105 submachine gun. ”

"The Imperial Army did not purchase the Harbinges in large quantities, but the U.S. Navy used them to replace the Remington rifle as the main foreign user. The Imperial Army was expecting a more advanced rifle, but the Navy was always ahead of it. In 9087, the Navy replaced the Type 9074 rifle with a new repeating rifle from the Harbour Master's Gun Factory. It combines Lee's rotary bolt bolt with a box-type magazine design and the revolutionary French Le Band smokeless rifle cartridge. The detachable cassette magazine holds 8 rounds of 8×51m mm R rifle cartridges. The Army acquired a standard rifle with a 30-inch barrel and a carbine with a 20-inch barrel for testing, and perhaps out of jealousy, declared that neither of them met its requirements and would not be adopted. Imperial Marines took part in the Philippine expedition with an 8mm Lebor version of the Type 9087 naval rifle, and their heavy firepower completely overwhelmed the Remington roller rifles in the hands of the Spanish colonial forces. 'During the day we could not see where the soldiers were firing,' recalls one of the captured Spanish officers, 'but as soon as our rifles fired a puff of white smoke, a rain of bullets came back, and the soldiers would be hit even if they were hiding behind the firing holes of the fort, which was terrible.' ’”

"The Type 9087 naval rifle played a major role in the Empire's victory in the War against Japan in 9097 and the War against Russia in 9104. And the Type 87/05 naval rifle, which switched to 7.92 mm Mauser cartridges, took part in the First World War in its entirety. As the first successful new rifle designed by the Empire, it was produced in six different calibers and exported to more than 20 countries. ”

"In order to catch up with the trend of smokeless ammunition rifles, the Imperial Army actively sought a replacement for the Type 9080 rifle. In addition to the Navy's new rifles, the Army Ordnance Bureau tested almost every new rifle in the last decade, including the Manlisia, Schmidt-Rubin, Lee Metford, Cragg-Jorgensen, Lebor 9086, Winchester M9095, Gew.88 Commission, and so on, but none of them satisfied the Army completely. The Mauser Type 9093 had the highest overall score of all the candidates, but the Army was not satisfied with the 7mm rifle and asked the Mauser to improve the rifle to fire the more powerful 7.92×57mm round. The improved rifle was officially finalized by the army in 9097 for domestic production. Interestingly, a year later, the German Army also listed the exact same rifle as standard equipment, replacing the Gew.88 Commission rifle that had only been in service for 10 years. ”

Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had a personal dislike for the Great Qian Empire, believed that his army must not lose in any way to his imaginary yellow rivals, but once again the opponent ran ahead of him in terms of infantry weapons. In 9098, the French equipped the Leband 8mm rifle cartridge with a pointed D-shaped bullet, and the Imperial Navy immediately modified the rifling of the Type 9087 rifle to accommodate the improved pointed bullet. Inspired by this, the Shanghai Arsenal tested a new 7.92 mm bullet in 9101, replacing the old 227 grain blunt round bullet with a 154-grain pointed light bullet, increasing the muzzle velocity by more than one-third, and greatly improving the ballistic performance. The Germans had no choice but to make the same improvements to their guns and rifles, and of course they would never pay any royalties to the Qianguo. (To be continued.) )
