Chen Gu couldn't help frowning: "But in order to spray the iron bullets, you must reload the gunpowder and iron bullets, and then ignite the fuse." This step cannot be omitted. ”

"Unless... One more person to help. ”

This idea of the stereotype made Lu Bu have an idea, and said, "Can you make the assault rifle a little bigger?" Load more iron bullets? In this way, it is possible to equip three soldiers. One is responsible for dragging the gun and aiming, one is responsible for loading, and the other is responsible for ignition. Shorten the time to less than five breaths. Attacks are denser and more powerful. ”

"You can try." As long as the barrel is thickened and lengthened, it can withstand the huge energy generated during the explosion. ”

"Okay."

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "With these new types of weapons, a new type of army can be formed. Your science and technology institute can manufacture a large number of red-coated cannons, small assault rifles, and large assault rifles. There is no limit to the quantity, the more the merrier. ”

"Yes."

Ma Junhe was in harmony with the rules and gave his hand to the road.

"Fetch me some brimstone, saltpeter, rosin, camphor, and bamboo tubes as thick as my fingers, and bring them to the house." Lu Bu commanded and walked into a hut.

Chen Gui didn't understand what Lu Bu wanted these things to do, but he didn't ask, and did as Lu Bu instructed.

After these things were taken, Lu Bu personally made a fire fold that only existed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties!

The principle of the fire fold is actually very simple. Physically, it's called re-ignition. Mix saltpeter, sulfur, rosin, and camphor into a bamboo tube, then ignite the materials in the bamboo tube and cover it with a lid.

There is a lack of oxygen in the bamboo tube, so there will be no open flame to burn, but because of the saltpeter and sulfur, the fire will not be extinguished. When it's time to use it, open the lid and blow a breath of oxygen, and an open flame will appear on the top of the bamboo tube.

It took Lu Bu nearly an hour to make a fire fold and experiment on the spot.

"My lord, this..."

"How did it burn?"

"It's incredible!"

.............

Everyone didn't understand, and they threw themselves on the ground for the five bodies that Lu Bu admired.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "In the future, soldiers who use small assault rifles can carry a fire fold with them, and with a single breath, an open flame can appear, which can shorten the time for loading ammunition." ”

"The lord is wise."

"With this thing, it's much more convenient." Chen Gui wanted to know the principle of the fire fold, and asked vigorously. Lu Bu also did not hesitate to teach, teaching the principles of hypoxia and oxygen delivery to the stereotypes.

Chen Gui praised: "It's wonderful! ”

"Okay, I'll give you half a year to make 10,000 small assault rifles, 1,000 large assault rifles, 500 red-coat cannons, and ensure that you have enough ammunition, can you do it?"

"Yes!"

Chen Gui and Ma Jun are full of confidence.

Because the materials needed by the Institute of Science and Technology, the Department of the Interior and the Military Aircraft Department have never been in short supply, as long as the materials are sufficient, the manpower is enough, and then they work together, they will definitely be able to complete the task.

Return to the Assassin's House.

Lu Bu called Chen Gong over.

"What does the lord command?" Chen Gong hurried over.

Lu Bu said: "I will form a new army, with a number of 20,000. You ask the military department to put up a recruitment notice. ”

"Can you choose from the reservists of the military department?"

"It is better to re-recruit, the age of joining the army, over fifteen years old, under twenty years old. Requires wit and flexibility, absolute loyalty. Moreover, their military salaries are higher than those of other troops. ”

"Huh? Why is that? Chen Gong didn't understand. What qualifications does a newly formed army have for a high salary?

Lu Budao: "Because this army, unlike other troops, will use the latest weapons, and its combat effectiveness is far beyond your imagination. Okay, I shouldn't reveal too much right now, just do what I tell you to do. ”

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

Chen Gong guessed that it should be the Academy of Science and Technology that has developed something new.

"Also, recall Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng back to Shouchun, haven't they been complaining and making countless meritorious contributions, but they can't be reused, I'll reuse them now. Let them be the generals of the new army. ”

"Yes."

After Chen Gong left. Lu Bu began to plan and form a new type of army, new formations, new combat methods and operational ideas, all of which he needed to instill in the generals under his command. In particular, the top commander in charge of the army must be carefully selected.

The first thing that came to Lu Bu's mind was stereotypes. Because the stereotypes know a lot about assault guns and redcoat cannons, they are easy to use. But stereotypes have their own business, and they are not suitable for leading troops. Besides, Lu Bu couldn't trust him, and it was a bit risky to put such an invincible army in his hands.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu finally decided that the supreme commander ---- Xu Shu!"

Why Xu Shu?

Because Xu Shu's mother was in Shouchun, she received the highest courtesy, which made Xu Shu loyal. His martial arts (swordsmanship) are higher than those of ordinary generals, and he has military exploits and prestige.

The most important thing is that Xu Shu is witty, flexible and good at fighting. It can bring the operational characteristics of the new army into full play.

In order to let Xu Shu understand the new army as soon as possible, Lu Bu personally went to the military aircraft department to discuss with Xu Shu.

The arrival of Lu Bu made the atmosphere of the Military Aircraft Department lively.

Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Zhang Liang sorted out maps and books. Liu Bowen planned the location of the garrisons in Xu and Yang Prefectures to facilitate defensive warfare in the future. Xu Shu was leisurely, sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Lu Budao made his intentions clear.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "It's okay to let me make suggestions, I really want to charge into battle, I'm afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

"Yuan Zhi misunderstood, not for you to charge, but to command the overall situation. Just like the military division, you only need to arrange the troops below to fight, and you are responsible for sitting in the middle army. ”

"How strong can a new army of 20,000 people be? Will I be able to sit still in the Chinese army? Xu Shu didn't understand what Lu Bu was thinking. Wouldn't it be overkill to let him command a new army of 20,000 men?

Lu Budao: "The combat effectiveness of the new army is beyond your imagination. You'll know that later. Let me ask you, would you like to take on this important task? ”

"The lord has spoken, how can I refuse?"

"Okay, I'll tell you about the formation of the new army now."

Lu Bu asked someone to get pen and ink, and wrote a lot of it.

Then he picked up the paper he had written and said: "The new army must have a new organization and tactical thinking, and you must adapt to it. First of all, in terms of establishment, the official positions of army commander, chief officer, centurion, lieutenant, and adjutant general are no longer used. ”

"Instead, squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps are used instead. The first class is ten people, with a principal and deputy squad leader. The third shift is a platoon, with a principal and deputy platoon commander. The three platoons are a company, with a principal and deputy company commander. The three companies are a battalion, with a chief and deputy battalion commanders. The three battalions are a regiment, with a chief and deputy commander and instructors. The instructor and the chief and deputy head of the regiment are at the same level. In the event of the death of the chief and deputy commanders, they can act as commanders. His main role is to command the guards of the regimental headquarters, responsible for the security and discipline of the regimental headquarters, and ensure the absolute loyalty of high-level cadres. ”

"The three regiments are one brigade, with a chief and deputy brigade commander, plus instructors and two staff officers. The third brigade is a division, with a chief and deputy division commander, plus instructors and five staff officers. The three divisions are one army, with a chief and deputy commander, plus instructors and ten staff officers. Further up, it's you, the commander of the new army, and the commander of the First Army. ”
