As a result, the contradictions between Xu Gaozhuo and the military advisory group suddenly intensified, so that Ye Fu had to often come forward to mediate various disputes between the two sides.

Xu Gaozhuo was set up in the signing room of the school, Ye Fu rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the two people in front of him with a headache, and asked, "Why is it this time?" ”

Trinidad stepped forward and shouted as if in great anger: "General! Please forgive me! As a soldier, I don't want to have an inexplicable quarrel with this gentleman all the time and embarrass my boss. But some things are really unreasonable! ”

In response, Xu Gaozhuo sneered.

He is a reader, and he still cares about demeanor. Unless he couldn't bear it, otherwise, in front of Ye Fu, he still had to behave like a subordinate as much as possible, so as not to be rude in front of Ye Fu.

Trinidad heard the voice, turned her head and glared at him, clenched her fists and shouted, "You don't understand anything at all!" ”

Xu Gaozhuo glanced at him and bowed to Ye Fu and said, "My lord, Mr. Trinidad is always so irritable, and it is really difficult for students to work with him. ”

"But the reality is, you have to work with them." Ye Fu frowned and said to Trinidad, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me." Don't always emphasize that the other person is not! If you don't make it clear, how do I know whose it is? ”

Trinidad hurriedly explained to Ye Fu: "General! That is true! Mr. Xu was dissatisfied with our newly developed infantry tactics and armament, and was stubborn in his opinion, believing that the musketeers must need the protection of the pikemen. It's a big joke! How advanced were musketeers compared to pikemen? In front of the musketeers, the pikemen will be eliminated sooner or later! How might protection be needed! ”

"How could it be that you don't need protection?" Xu Gaozhuo raised his eyebrows, and then saluted Ye Fu, he said, "My lord, although the student is a scholar, he has also learned the art of war and strategy, especially the tactics of Qi Shuai back then. The so-called deployment of the formation requires long and short cooperation, which can be attacked and defended when retreating. Musketeers are powerful and easy to handle. But with each shot, the time from reloading to firing is too long. If there is no protection from other troops, if the enemy enters in front of him, will he have to fight the enemy with the musket in his hand? It's ridiculous! ”

"I didn't say that I had to use muskets in melee combat!" Trinidad argued, "Musketeers can be equipped with melee knives~~"

Xu Gaozhuo argued with him, "Isn't it good to set up a soldier with a saber directly?" Even if you don't need pikemen, you need swordsmen who are good at melee combat! ”

Trinidad was not convinced, "Obviously, one person can have two combat powers, why do you have to divide some people?" Draw a snake then put legs on it! ”

"Mr. Trinida, you don't learn Chinese well, I don't blame you. But this is not a matter of drawing a snake, this is called a specialization! Xu Gaozhuo pointed to the right way, "Musketeers should study musket warfare, and sword and shield soldiers and pikemen should study the tactics of melee cold weapons." In this way, you can learn well! More conducive to combat. ”

Trinidad also wanted to argue.

Ye Fuyi raised his hand and said, "Okay!" Needless to say! I know where the differences are. ”

Speaking of this, he greeted Dong Zheng, the sentry chief who temporarily replaced Ma Denglong, and gave two orders in his ear.

Dong Zheng got the order and immediately ran out to do something.

Ye Fu invited the two of them to sit down in front of him, and said to the two: "It's just a little disagreement, and it's just a little disagreement, and it's going to make the whole school uproar?" It's also mine, I had some ideas before, but I never had the opportunity to explain it to the two, but I let you quarrel in vain. ”

Xu Gaozhuo and Trinidad both wanted to know what Ye Fu meant, but Ye Fu was not in a hurry to explain, and waited until Dong Zheng went and returned, holding a newly baked imitation flintlock pistol in his hand.

It is said to be an imitation, in fact, not only because it is different from the flintlock pistol in Europe at this stage, but also because the appearance of this gun is the result of integrating many of Ye Fu's later concepts.

He held the gun in his hand and showed it to the two of them.

"Look, you two, this is a new flintlock pistol that is about to be promoted, I call it a Type 47 infantry gun."

Xu Gaozhuo and Trinidad couldn't help but get closer, and soon, they noticed the difference.

I only listened to Ye Fu explain: "The Western flintlock pistol we are dispensing now is actually only different from the previous arquebus, and the flintlock pistol is actually only made of flint. But the chance of ignition can be increased from 50% to 80%. In actual combat, it is very effective, and I believe that the two gentlemen have no objection to this. ”

Xu Gaozhuo and Trinidad nodded one after another, their eyes always resting on the flintlock pistol in Ye Fu's hand.

Ye Fu continued: "However, whether it is an arquebus or a flintlock pistol, the two of you have already said just now, the loading speed is too slow, from loading to launching, people may have time for the cavalry to assault and rush directly in front of you." Therefore, in response to this, when the Ordnance Department recently imitated the Western flintlock pistol, it studied some books and experiences left by predecessors and made this kind of medicine! ”

Ye Fu picked up the medicine in his hand and showed it to the two of them.

"It's so much more intense on the battlefield than on the training ground. The general psychological quality of our soldiers is not good, or even relatively poor. And once you are nervous, it is easy to make mistakes. However, in the past, the loading and launching process was extremely cumbersome, and it was okay during normal training, but when the combat became tense, it was inevitable that we would lose everything and hurt ourselves and others. That's why we wanted to make this medicine in advance instead of filling it on the spot. ”

Ready-made medicine can indeed save time on the battlefield, and at the same time reduce the mistakes made by gunmen. Trinidad stared at the medicine in surprise, but Xu Gaozhuo still shook his head.

"Adults, students think that even if they speed up, they still can't change the facts. The musketeers really need to be protected, otherwise, once the medicine is exhausted, or it is too late to reload the medicine and ignite the fire, then the safety of the musketeers is really worrying. Whether this can be solved or not, please let me know. ”

When Xu Gaozhuo asked this, he didn't expect Ye Fu to give him an answer.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ye Fu smiled slightly and picked up another extremely inconspicuous thing that Dong Zheng had just brought in.

He took it in his hand and showed it to the two of them.

"Guys, this kind of thing, I call it a knife. You two can take a look! ”

Ye Fu said, pushing the so-called 'gunner' forward, letting the two of them look at it.

Xu Gaozhuo took it in his hand and looked at it twice, and for some reason, he handed it to Trinidad again.
