Mr. Zhao hurriedly pressed his hands, and when the applause fell, he continued: In addition, the thunder @ mercury primer charge scheme has been preliminarily successfully tested, and we are currently debugging various agent ingredients, by the way, once it is completely successful - well, it is probably the end of the year, not only our infantry artillery can use real grenades @ shells and armor-piercing shells, but also fire incendiary @ incendiary bombs, and then we will have an epoch-making weapon of great destruction......

As soon as Mr. Zhao said this, cheers and applause immediately resounded in the conference room on the fifth floor of the Red Building.

Looking at the excited crowd in the venue, Huang Hai stood up again and said: Everyone, Mr. Zhao just mentioned the 57-type rifle and hand @ grenade @ bullet, here on behalf of Shuguang Machinery Factory----, I would like to assure you that as long as Mr. Zhao's nitrocellulose and ** low-fire combined charge scheme is realized, the 57 rifle and the 57 hand @ grenade @ bullet will soon withdraw from the stage of history!

After Huang Hai finished speaking, he immediately took out a drawing from the leather bag next to him and spread it on the table, and then everyone immediately gathered around, especially the crew members of the Nicole, who looked at the hand-drawn drawings with great interest and talked about it.

"Wow! Isn't this ninety-eight K! ”

"Ninety-eight ks of wool, you eat too much chicken, right? I know that ninety-eight k......"

"No, the bolt looks like a Mauser......"

"But it's a little strange that the whole gun doesn't look German."

Obviously, there are many military fans or pseudo-military fans in the crowd, which also proves that many people did not relax their learning of ordnance knowledge after the crossing, but everyone had a burst of indifferent discussions, but they squeezed the Yellow Sea aside.

At this time, Huang Hai hurriedly explained beside him:

"Guys, listen to me, this is a new rifle designed by me, and it does refer to the design of the old world pull-bolt rifle, but this is a hybrid......"

"Haha, that's right, I knew that when you look at this gun, it smells like a free world......"

"Brother Huang, isn't this gun ninety-eight k?"

"No, definitely not, because this gun has a bolt, but it doesn't have a magazine......"

"Listen to Brother Huang! Don't meddle, okay! ”

Someone in the crowd complained again, and at this time, Huang Hai smiled a little proudly, paused, waited for everyone to be quiet, and then explained unhurriedly:

"Okay, okay, everyone, let me explain to you the design of this gun, first of all, this is indeed a bolt-action rifle, because it was designed and finalized this year, so I temporarily named this rifle the Federal 1659 Standard Rifle, the name of this rifle is not to be said, because it is not important, in short, this means that we are about to say goodbye to the era of flintlock pistols!"

Bang Bang Bang! There was another round of applause.

"However, this gun doesn't have a magazine---- it's not that I don't want a magazine, the key is that we don't have the ability to mass-produce metal fixed ammunition at present......"

When Huang Hai said this, he subconsciously glanced at An Hengtong, who was sitting in the distance without saying a word, so the eyes around him immediately focused on Xiao Anzi.

The latter was completely indifferent to everyone's gaze, and he even yawned, and then said to everyone slowly:

"I don't have any raw materials here...... The output of wet copper smelting is extremely limited, and the miniature copper smelting furnace that started a while ago is actually a coal-burning crucible, which can only use waste bronze cannons as raw materials to refine some red copper and brass, but the supply of waste bronze cannons is also a match, and the output is not high.

In short, up to now, the blast furnace and supporting production line of pyrometallurgical copper smelting are still sleeping in the cave! You all know why, when will I be supplied with a large supply of copper ore, and when will you be able to exchange shotguns......"

An Hengtong's words made everyone lose their temper, and the atmosphere at the venue suddenly calmed down, and then Huang Hai continued An Hengtong's words:

"So, guys, the rifle I've designed is still a single-shot bolt-action rifle, but it's a major step forward beyond flintlock......"

"I want to hear ...... detail"

"As long as it's bolted......"

"Ahem...... That's ......"

Huang Hai cleared his throat and continued:

“

"Although there are no conditions for the production of metal fixed ammunition for rifles, but the shells of the ninety-two infantry guns can be provided, after all, the quantity is limited, right, Xiao Anzi?"

At this time, An Hengtong had a black line on his face and responded:

"Brother Huang, don't call me Xiao Anzi, I'm married, and you still call me this nickname! No matter how you sound like a little eunuch, buddy, are you a little more suitable? ”

"Okay, don't call it that......"

"From now on, I will be called Brother An......"

"Call you Mr. An, then Mr. An, the shell shell material of this 92 infantry gun ......"

"Okay...... Save and then recycle in time...... Copper may be able to supply ......"

An Hengtong hesitated in response.

"If necessary, you can buy ready-made copper ......"

Someone in the crowd said.

"It's so expensive, you can't afford it!"

"That's no way, it's ...... at the beginning"

"I heard that the Qing Dynasty has banned the export of copper."

"It seems that it is not easy to buy a waste bronze cannon......"

"it, hurry up and let Wei Hong go back to Timor Island! Otherwise, when will the copper mine in the southwest of Oku be mined? ”

"I heard that Wei Hong is happy now, he has a hot fight with General Chen Shangchuan, so Chen Shangchuan sent a girl to Wei Hong and Fang Linyou......"

"That's not the case, the sister is Fang Linyou, Wei Hong and Xiao Ai have long been hiding in the golden house in Leizhou City, don't you know?"

"Holy! Is there such a good thing? Sun Lao! I want to apply to lead troops overseas! ”

At this time, a group of crew members on the Nicole were the most shouting in the venue.

People around: "......"

Seeing that the topic in the venue was about to be pulled aside, Huang Hai quickly clapped his hands and shifted everyone's attention to his side and said:

"That's it! All right! Guys, put this topic aside for a moment, and let me move on to the rifle, guys! This rifle is actually a mixture of the British Empire Brown Bess rifle and the Mauser 71 rifle, which is a rifle specially designed for cloth shell ** fixed ammunition---- the role of the bolt is to open and close the magazine and let the firing pin in the critical state, after pulling the trigger, manually reload a shell fixed load, and then repeat this action......"

After listening to the speeches of the industrial professionals one by one, they finally came to the conclusion that by 1662, we should be able to fight a short-term, quick-resolution local war with the Qing Dynasty in a certain local area, and if we had sufficient maritime support and transportation capabilities, there was indeed hope that we would again have a migrant population of the scale of Operation Changfeng.

In that case, why not? Let's do it! "Operation White Lightning" passed in principle!

According to the combat experience of the Leizhou Peninsula, if we can be supplemented with equipment to resist the attack of heavy cavalry, we are fully capable of confronting the Qing army in the wilderness, and at least we can rely on fortifications to establish a beachhead with a certain depth and even an advance base, which will undoubtedly be of great help to our operation of collecting refugees.

Finally, the discussion was about how many troops we could commit to the southeast coast by then.

The current situation is that both the Wanshan Islands and Zixia Island have the potential to expand the recruitment of soldiers from the garrison, after all, those two places have a sizable population, and the age structure of these populations is quite young, and it is clear that there is a cruel truth behind this - that is, the refugees who can leave their homes are generally young or in the prime of life, and the old people are usually abandoned......

At this time, someone in the venue sighed secretly---- when we see the swarms of refugees coming, we should know - behind it, there has been a huge human tragedy......
