In the past six months, all parts of the country have been building a large number of buildings, just as Gongliangxiu has seen and probed the news, Xianguo mu yield of three or four stones has been extremely common, four or five stones are not a few, even if only three percent of the land is levied, the total amount is seven to eight times that of the seven percent of the field 20 years ago.

With food, industrial production and breeding, the manpower required for the construction of the project was fed back to the people in kind or cash through work, so it became the only style in the Central Plains.

When the countries were still working as slaves, pariahs and hard labor, the Xian country had jumped out of the shackles of history, and the workers could not only eat enough and eat well, but also get money, how envious of others.

Therefore, in recent years, there are not a few displaced people who have fled to Xianguo with their families on the border, and those who come from Bailiyan do not refuse, and even encourage foreign displaced people to move to Xianguo, not only giving land, but also making up household registration, so that their production can save themselves, tax exemption for three years, and resumption of taxation after three years.

On 20 November, all 300 pre-production breech-loading rifles were delivered, following the production of 95 test guns last summer, and the first batch of pre-ordered rifles rolled off the production line.

The length of the Yongxing rifle barrel is nearly more than 850 millimeters, there is no seamless steel pipe extruder, and the inferior drill bit made of high-manganese steel quenching and tempering heat treatment is extremely time-consuming and laborious to open a solid round steel, and it is not too realistic at all, at least after opening up, it will be a big problem to ensure the roughing accuracy and margin required for the inner hole.

The lengthened drill bit made of high-speed steel only needs to be clamped on the centering of the drilling rig, and the two ends of each end are punched with a deep hole with a diameter of 12 millimeters and a depth of 450 millimeters, and the two sections are connected, and then the upper drawing machine, through the coarse drawing hole, semi-coarse drawing hole, heat treatment, and finally fine drawing, a smoothbore light tube completes a complete set of processing process, and the efficiency is more than ten times higher than before.

In view of this, Bailiyan even began to consider the design of rifling broach and synchronous rotation coordinator, but finally rejected this plan, first of all, the design of the former is much more complex than ordinary light hole broach, the tool is easy to crack, and the latter needs to coordinate the rotation angle of the rifling process, otherwise even if there is a broach, it may not be able to pull out the rifling.

The second is that the current focus is still on expanding the basic processing capacity, and there is really no need to allocate design and manufacturing capacity to tackle key rifling equipment.

On November 22, after two days of gun inspection, Bai Liyan watched and shot at the military camp shooting range far away from Yongxing City, and the sound of guns mixed with the smell of gunpowder made people excited, 26 years ago, Bai Liyan never dreamed that 26 years later there would be guns and cannons.

"Master Hou, after the ten bullets are fired, do you want to send someone to inspect the target wall?" Jiang Jie said quickly, his gestures were full of ability and sharpness, full of vigor and vigor.

At this time, Bailiyan put down the telescope and shook her head:

"No, you can see it clearly here, and the summons will give you another ten rounds to see."

"No."

The accuracy of the smoothbore gun must be limited, the round-headed lead bullet was taken into account at the beginning of the finalization, so there is a large hole in the tail of the projectile, the diameter of the projectile is slightly smaller than the gun hole, when the gunpowder is ignited, the large hole at the tail of the projectile is swollen against the barrel wall, and then the warhead is squeezed on the inner wall to help improve the accuracy, but at the cost of the muzzle velocity will be very low, and the accuracy is not much higher.

After another ten rounds of guns, the pine wall target a hundred steps away was full of bullet holes, and after a long careful observation, Bai Liyan said:

"Change the range, shoot in a lying position, 20 shots per person."

"No!"

Quickly changed the shooting range, and the pine wall target that had been prepared left a dense bullet hole, and vaguely Bailiyan had already found the clue:

"Sure enough, it's better to shoot on your stomach."

"Master Hou, the hit rate of shooting in the lying position has indeed been higher than that of shooting while standing or squatting, but it is not conducive to aiming and shooting for gunmen in the back row. It is better to stand in one row, squatting in one row, lie down in one row, and three rows alternately fire with the strongest firepower. ”

"Well, that's a good point. However, this robbery is a smoothbore, and the accuracy of the hit is indeed not high, so it can only be shot intensively to cover the density, and if it is all lying on its stomach, it will become a piecemeal fight. However, the tactical action of lying down is indispensable, and it cannot be wasted because of choking, and it may be a great skill to save life in the future, and it must not be taken lightly. ”

"The Admiral understands."

The Yongxing rifle uses smokeless gunpowder after passivation of nitrocellulose, which has greater kinetic energy, and the power is much greater than that of black powder, and the airtightness of the breech loading makes the effective range of the projectile close to 400 meters, but the effective accuracy is less than 100 meters.

This distance is still within the coverage of the Zhiguo Chaotian crossbow, if the Chaotian crossbow two hundred steps away forms a large array of 50,000 people, and fires 25,000 giant crossbow arrows at a time, the damage to the Yongxing rifle is very huge.

Taking a step back, all arrows are thrown with a surface jump, and the vast majority of rifle shots are shot from the front in a straight line from the front of the line and point, and it is difficult to shoot beyond the shooting range and over the top, so the lying position can avoid the maximum bullet area, which is effective for firearms, but when encountering the coverage of group projectile weapons, the difference between lying and standing is not very big.

Of course, this is an extreme case, and Bai Liyan will not be stupid enough to use his own riflemen to fight head-on with the enemy's organized bow and crossbow array, at least he will rely on artillery and fight in tandem with infantry artillery.

After watching the shooting drill, Bai Liyan personally loaded and fired a few shots, and the recoil was still quite large, after all, the caliber reached 14.5 millimeters (about 13 mm), the charge was very large, and the kinetic energy was inevitably much higher.

"It's a good gun, but it's a pity that it can only hold one bullet."

Bai Liyan said with emotion, and then Jiang Jie answered:

"If you can equip 10,000 or 20,000 bullets, organize them into an array to block them in front of the big array, and fire a salvo of 100,000 rounds of bullets in one minute, the power is enough to frighten the enemy, and then you won't have to worry about missing a single bullet."

"This is the reason, but it will not be mass-produced in the short term, and it can still only be killed with human life. But now that there are good cannons, I don't worry about the nations popping up a monster out of thin air. ”

The 300 guns produced by the pre-order model are the products of more than a year of testing and improvement, just to verify the reliability and technical requirements after the improvement, and it is not bad to say that the basic type is finalized, so Bailiyan still has no intention of installing it in batches.

In addition, the industrial capacity is insufficient, and the current focus is on equipment expansion, and mass production requires the transfer of industrial capacity, which is not cost-effective, which is one of the reasons why Bailiyan is not in a hurry to get involved in the war.

Finally, the production of firearms can not completely rely on general machine tools, need to customize a number of special machines, especially the production of drilling and bolt accessories, the need for special machine production, in order to ensure the accuracy and the universal interchangeability of parts, so it is not cost-effective to spend personnel to design special machines to move production capacity production support.

While the two were talking, a soldier came to report:

"Hou Ye Qi, there is a letter from the Great Sima of Chenling."

"Show me."

After receiving the letter in the hands of the soldiers, the content was that the envoy of the defense of the country had arrived in Wuchat, Chunan County, and could arrive in Chenling within four or five days at the earliest.

Previously, around 15 October, he vaguely received the news that Wei Guo had transferred troops to the north, and now the Wei Guo envoys arrived unexpectedly, which shows that the diplomatic preparations before sending troops have reached the last moment, and it is not ruled out that Wei Wang moved to the old place of Sun Guo to shorten the distance with the Central Plains, so as to shorten the time for news transmission and facilitate decision-making.

After reading it, he put away the letter, and Bai Liyan and Jiang Jie immediately returned to Yongxing to see Zong Botai and Zhao Anling.

Explaining the intention, Zong Botai thought for a while and then said:

"Since Wei Guo has not mobilized heavy troops on the Eastern Front, it can be seen that King Wei must be sure not to let the princes rescue the eldest grandson, or at least delay the princes to send troops. This is contrary to what Hou Ye planned to use as an excuse to disagree with the country, and Hou Ye should beware of the amazing actions of defending the country. ”

"But Ben Hou really can't think of how amazing the defense of the country can be, can it be that he can still scare Ben Hou's guts?"

Bai Liyan didn't think that Wei Guo could have any bargaining chips to stop Xian Guo from sending troops, unless Wei Guo had seen through that Xian Guo had no intention of sending troops in a short time, so he wanted to defeat Changsun and then advance eastward before Xian Guo's production adjustment was completed. However, there are very few people who know the entire economic operation plan of Xianguo, and it is impossible for Wei Guo to know that the purpose of Bailiyan's non-war is to accelerate the development of industry.

Under such circumstances, it is really unpredictable what kind of bombshell the country is going to make.

While thinking about it, Zhao Anling, who was sitting on the side, said:

"Actually, Brother Zong's worries are not unreasonable, but they are also exaggerated."

Zong Botai raised his thick eyebrows, as if he was surprised, and hurriedly asked:

"Why does Brother Xian think so?"

"First of all, the eldest grandson of the Northern Expedition of the Patriotic Kingdom, at the beginning, it was a fraudulent plan of the Hou Ye to set up a bidding plan in order to break the transaction with Jin Xuedi, so that the eldest grandson of the Northern Expedition of the Patriotic Republic of China would benefit and the Patriotic Empire would lose, so the eldest grandson of the Northern Expedition of the Patriotic Empire, we all knew about it, but the princes of various countries did not know about it.

But now it is different, the situation has become clear, it is a foregone conclusion that the defense of the country and the eldest grandson of the country is a foregone conclusion, and the princes all know it, and how the princes think in this situation is what the defense of the country needs to consider. If Wei Guo clearly knew that Zhiguo was unwilling to get involved in this war, and Jin Guo was cowering, I am afraid it would be much easier to deal with my Xian State at this time. ”

"Well, Mr. Zhao has a point. However, in this way, Ben Hou felt that what Mr. Zongbo said was also reasonable. If the Wei Guo has already understood what the princes of various countries want, he will definitely take advantage of this situation to buy time and defeat the eldest grandson first. Zhiguo and Jin have their own weaknesses, but my Xianguo soldiers are strong and strong, if they join forces with the eldest grandson at this time to defeat the country, they can get a lot of benefits.

Therefore, if the Patriotic Nation were to prevent our troops from sending troops, or at least to keep our troops still, there would certainly be a surprising move to deter us. ”

You are not the only smart person in the world, Wei Guo has incorporated the original team of the foolish sect back then, each of them is a calculating, profound Buddha in the temple, if you find out the mentality and bottom line of Zhiguo and Jinguo, the rest is how to get Xianguo out of the war.

Xianguo is now strong and strong, the army is strong and strong, the world knows that Xianguo has the heart of trying to be strong and hegemonic, and the defense of the country is heavy to the north, in the eyes of the princes, it is a good time for Xianguo to send troops to compete. If the Patriotic State wanted to ensure the security of the eastern flank, it was necessary to force the Xian State to withdraw from the war.

The previous quarrel with the eldest grandson envoy Chai Xiang can be big or small, this is just a foreshadowing of the excuse, the key is how to operate, but Wei Guo will not know that the Prime Minister will use raw silk as an excuse to attack the Changsun State, so Wei Guo must have enough bargaining chips to ensure that Xianguo withdraws from the war, and what is this bargaining chip, which can make Xianguo restrain his hands and feet and not send troops, it is really incomprehensible.

At least economically, there is no room for the defense of the country to fight back, and it is already rare to be able to withstand the imminent shortage of sufficient accommodation, and I really can't think of any political intimidation moves, or if there are some evil ways in the military field to bluff people, and this has to be guarded against.
