In the words of the 21 st century, the "war economy" is a very good economic growth point, so the Americans in the 21 st century are causing trouble everywhere, and this is not only the demand of the United States' national interests, but also the behind-the-scenes promotion of the arms companies. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If there is no war, there will be no consumption, without consumption, there will be no upgrading, without upgrading, what will the arms companies eat?

In the 80s, the Celestial Empire fought with the Yue Monkey and successfully won the reputation of "big bombing", and this is the same reason, weapons and ammunition are about to expire when they are placed in the warehouse, or they are pulled out and used up The most cost-effective, that is, the inventory is cleared, and the proficiency of the officers and soldiers can be brushed, the best of both worlds.

Li Mu supports the Republic of Cuba also has this consideration, smokeless gunpowder has just been successfully developed, which will promote the birth of a series of new weapons based on smokeless gunpowder, new weapons must be tested, Cuba is the most suitable testing ground.

In fact, the Gatling heavy machine gun sent by the Horse Weapons Company this time is already an improved model, compared with the original Gatling heavy machine gun, this version of the Horse Weapons Company gave up the bulky wheel frame, but used the detachable tripod designed by the Horse Weapons Company itself, and the ammunition supply method was also improved, and the huge funnel above the machine gun was removed and replaced with a 250-round canvas cartridge chain, which is also the design of the Horse Weapons Company, which is patented.

After improving the design, the new Gatling heavy machine gun only needs two people to operate, which is much smaller than the original four, and at the same time, don't look at the wheel frame to a tripod It seems that it is impossible to move, in fact, the weight is greatly reduced, now a Gatling weighs less than 50 kilograms, and after dismantling, two people can carry it, which is more convenient to move than the original.

Of course, the current improvements are all in the appearance of the modeling, in fact, the structural improvement is not much, the structural improvement is much more complex than the improvement of the appearance modeling, to gradually find the problem in use, and then slowly solve.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and this sentence is really true, it is the mule or the horse that must be pulled out and slipped, so that the problem can be found in time.

On the first night of the arrival of the second batch of weapons, Yan Shun came to Li Mu with a shotgun.

"According to your orders, the same guns have been used in training for the past few days, but when I was training just now, this gun suddenly exploded-" Yan Shun looked guilty.

"How's the people?" Li Mu cares about people.

It is actually normal for a weapon to explode, and the consequences are of course extremely serious, generally speaking, it is normal to be blind and have your face blown up, and it can even be life-threatening in serious cases.

"It's not a big problem, we don't need to aim at close to the shotgun when we train it, it's trained on the chest, but I was slightly injured and has been sent to the hospital, but the impact is not very good, the brothers have resistance when they train, and they don't dare to continue to use it." Yan Shun also had palpitations, looking at the shotgun that was blown into a twisted shape, there was fear in his eyes.

Exploding the chamber is still very terrifying, the shotgun because there is no rifling in the chamber, the degree of distortion is not serious, if it is a rifled rifle, it will generally blow you into petals, just like the chamber of the gun opened a flower, you can imagine how violent the energy that burst out at that moment was.

"The training plan remains the same, add a training program, let Bora get ten new guns, and then arrange all the brothers to take turns to take the lower fatigue test, test what the average life of the lower barrel is, and then before reaching the limit, the gun will be scrapped, and I will deal with the injured brothers." Li Mu was resolute, the training must continue, it must not be interrupted because of this matter, the morale of the troops must also be maintained, soldiers, what is the bloodshed and sacrifice, all kinds of chicken soup on the rotten streets of the 21st century can still come in handy this year.

In the evening, Li Mu came to the wounded barracks to visit the soldiers who were injured during the training.

Li Mu definitely can't do this kind of thing like crawling on the wounds of wounded soldiers, not to mention how much showmanship there is in this kind of thing, you can die of disgust if you think about it-

Li Mu had his own way of boosting morale, chatting cordially with the wounded soldiers for a few days, Li Mu turned around and took a small golden box from Yan Shun's hand, and after opening the box, he took out a Purple Heart Medal from it.

This Purple Heart is not the same thing as the "Purple Heart" of the 21st century, nor is it the same thing as the Purple Heart in the American Revolutionary War.

The Purple Heart of the United States was established on August 7, 1782 by General George Washington, then called the Military Merit Medal, and was awarded to only three people during the entire Revolutionary War, all three of whom were non-commissioned officers, and since then the Purple Heart has been forgotten by the world, if it were not for Li Mu's horizontal insertion, it would not be until 1932 that the United States would have re-established the Purple Heart.

The style of the Purple Heart Medal taken out by Li Mu is the same heart-shaped as the military medal set up by Washington, but it is different from the perishable fabric that Washington made, Li Mu's Purple Heart Medal is metallic, the metal inside is pure copper, the outermost ring has a layer of gold plating, the pattern in the middle is purple enamel as the background color, there is a gold five-pointed star embedded in the middle of the front, and there are also a few words engraved on the back, which are engraved in Chinese: For the country and the people, good is great.

"Although Cuba is not our Chinese country, I always believe that one day, our Chinese in Cuba will establish their own country, when the owner of this medal will have the supreme glory, no matter when and where, the owner of the medal has the right to ask the government for help, and the owner of the medal will have preferential treatment in terms of children's schooling, work and business, this is an honor, I hope you can cherish it." Li Mu had a solemn expression and personally wore the Purple Heart Medal on the wounded soldier's left chest.

Honor!

Yes, this is Li Mu's way of boosting morale, as for what children go to school, preferential treatment in work and business is secondary, and stimulating the sense of honor of the soldiers is what Li Mu attaches the most importance to.

In ancient times, there was often a saying that the prisoner would be "stabbed with the army", which was intended to punish the criminal, but the subtext was that the prisoner was only worthy of being a soldier.

In fact, there is no doubt how important the military is to a country, look at the Celestial Empire in the 21st century, no matter how much the military is criticized in peacetime, when it comes to natural and man-made disasters, the military will always be the greatest hope of the people of the Celestial Empire.

Li Mu wants to create this sense of honor, not only to let the soldiers be proud of being a soldier, but also to let others show respect for the identity of the soldier, so as to stimulate the sense of honor of the soldier, and now make the soldier willing to shed blood and sacrifice, but also to maintain this sense of honor.

As for what Li Mu said about the Chinese wanting to build a country, this is not in Li Mu's plan, that is to say, even if he wants to build a country, Li Mu will not be the king of Rausch on Pine Island, compared to the United States, Cuba is a wilderness, Li Mu should be in a metropolis like New York, in order to play the greatest role, and only a metropolis like New York can meet Li Mu's requirements.

The wounded soldier who was still complaining before lying on the hospital bed probably never thought that the soldier still had the word "honor", stroking the Purple Heart Medal on his chest, feeling the uneven touch, something called fanaticism came spontaneously from the depths of his heart, not to mention an injury, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of him, it is estimated that this buddy would not hesitate.

Out of the door of the ward, Li Bora followed Li Mu and felt itching: "Mr. Reem, what conditions do you need to obtain this Purple Heart Medal?" ”

"What? Do you want? Li Mu squinted at Li Bola, and Li Bola's head nodded as if he had installed a small electric motor.

"As long as you are a wounded soldier, you are eligible, of course, you must be injured for the sake of our whole, and you are not eligible to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and fall." Li Mu's standard is not high, in fact, Li Mu has a lot of this kind of medal in his hand, which is enough to issue one to each of the Chinese.

However, honor is such a thing, it is because of scarcity that the preciousness of honor can be shown, if no matter who can get honor casually, then the honor will be rotten sooner or later.

"Mr. Ream, I suddenly have a very bad feeling, I estimate that by the time I train tomorrow, my brothers will be very hard, such a small thing will become an honor that many people dream of." Li Bora is quite smart, and he came to a similar conclusion as Li Mu.

"Hehe, what is this, this is only the lowest level of medals, there will be various medals of honor in the future, the merits are different, the level of the medals is also different, maybe in a few decades, even if it is a senior general, when you see an ordinary soldier with a medal on his chest, he must take the initiative to salute, as long as we do this thing persistently, one day all Chinese will regard honor as life." Li Mu is a businessman, and he is best at concretizing various conceptual things, such as medals, which is a way of expressing honor, which is actually not quite the same as the standard of Chinese introverted modesty, but Cuba is not the Celestial Empire, living in Western society, you have to let others know.

"The country you're talking about—" Liborah cared more than honor.

"Hehe, I already have a preliminary idea about the country, but if it wants to become a reality, it will take the efforts of all of us, freedom is not obtained for nothing, and neither is respect." Li Mu doesn't want to go into too much detail now, for the Cuban Chinese at this stage, it is still a little early to establish a country or something.

"Mr. Reem, don't worry, the brothers will do their best and never disgrace you." Liborah showed loyalty.

"Bola, you have to understand one thing, you are training hard today, not to not embarrass me, but to fight for your own face, so that you can be looked down upon, so that we Chinese can live in this world with dignity, not by someone's charity, not by our pleading, but by our own strength." Li Mu began to preach, change, start with the people around him.
