Chapter 5 The Confidence of the British

The Shanjia affair was also only a small episode in this machine gun test.

After everyone finished laughing, Major General Zhao Gang asked: "Your Majesty, since you want to equip the troops, please also ask Your Majesty to name this gun." ”

It's also a tradition to name weapons, especially hot ones. According to the common practice in later generations, it is generally named after the name of the designer or the manufacturing company plus the year, or it is just a separate year.

For example, the famous Colt M1911 pistol was named because it was produced by the famous American weapons manufacturer Colt Company in 1911.

But this classic weapon of the twentieth century was designed by the famous American weapons master John Brown. Moses. Designed by Browning, all of them became known as Browning pistols.

The same is true of the most prestigious, most produced, and most copied weapon of the 20th century, the AK47.

This weapon was designed by the famous Soviet weapon designer Mikhail Murphy. Timofeevich. Kalashnikov designed an automatic weapon, the full name of the weapon is the Kalashnikov automatic rifle finalized in 1947.

AK is an abbreviation of the first letter of the Russian name of Kalashnikov, so it is also named.

Of course, there is also a case of naming, that is, it is named after the caliber of the weapon, the most famous is the famous German 88mm anti-aircraft gun known as the "tank opener" during World War II.

Because its barrel caliber was 88 mm, it was called the 88 gun. Although it was originally used to fly planes, it was used by chance to exert great energy in anti-tank, so many people mistakenly thought that it was a specialized anti-tank gun, but in fact, it was famous for not doing its job.

His thoughts flickered, and Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said: "Just call it Wude Nine-Year Type A, and the new models in the future can be named in the order of A, B, C, D." ”

"Obey the order!"

……………………………………………… I'm the dividing line of Dadada......................................................

While Egawa was testing the new machine gun, a battle was taking place on a small island five hundred nautical miles west of Fuso Province.

No, it would be more accurate to say that it was a battle than a massacre.

On one side of the battle were more than two dozen British soldiers dressed in red, while on the other side were primitive tribesmen wrapped in animal skins, with various bright feathers on their heads and eerie oil paint on their faces.

These primitive inhabitants, numbering about five or six hundred, let out angry roars from their mouths, and charged towards the British with the weapons in their hands raised.

Judging by numbers, the British were clearly outnumbered,

It's just that the outcome of the battle is very different from what I imagined, and even diametrically opposite.

As the "da-da" gunshots rang out continuously, the heroic and fearless primitive tribal warriors burst into blood one by one and fell to the ground.

The gunfire didn't last long before it stopped, as the enemy who charged on the opposite side had all fallen to the ground, blood flowing and staining the ground beneath them.

"Long live Your Majesty, these stupid monkeys are simply vulnerable!"

"God forbid, our British Empire is so powerful, these monkeys are simply here to die."

The British soldiers cheered with muskets in their hands, and their eyes focused on the two oddly shaped muskets at their feet.

The thick barrel, the two wheels that were one size smaller than the wheels of the carriage, the huge ammunition box, and the huge bracket at the tail all made these two weapons stand out.

"Colonel Smith, really thank you to Professor Green, who invented this machine gun, he is simply a genius!"

A second lieutenant said to the commander who was smoking a pipe next to him and looking at the corpse of the aboriginal warrior on the island in a daze.

"Genius? He's a genius, of course, but I think he's more of a demon. Colonel Smith pouted.

Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and the excited ensign did not hear him clearly.

"Colonel Smith, I've heard that we've come to the East again this time to avenge the shame, can you tell me what's going on? I know that we have an enmity with the powerful empire in the East, but ten years ago I was still young, and you should have already enlisted in the army by then, you should have participated in the battle between us and the Eastern Empire back then, right? ”

The second lieutenant turned his head to look at the colonel, who was a little in a low mood, and asked in a chattering voice.

Colonel Smith glanced over at the ensign, who was clearly a little disdainful of the young ensign's excitement and curiosity.

Young people are stupid people who always imagine war too beautifully.

War is never a wonderful thing, it is a demon, a demon that can give people nightmares for a lifetime.

"Yes, I did. I was just a private at the time. Like you now, you come to the East with the excitement of adventure. ”

Colonel Smith said calmly, but his face became gloomy.

The excited ensign obviously didn't realize this, and still asked, "Then can you tell me, I would like to know what happened back then?" Our empire is so strong, what other country can resist us? Just look at these stupid indigenous monkeys in front of you. ”

Colonel Smith looked at the young lieutenant with a straight face, and raised his voice: "Young man, if you really went through the same battle as me, I hope you can continue to maintain your courage and confidence." Well, it's time to clean up the battlefield and collect the loot. ”

After speaking, the colonel turned and walked towards the battleship parked on the beach, leaving the second lieutenant with a dazed face at a loss.

He had finally noticed it now, and the colonel seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't seem to be very happy to mention the war of the year

"What really happened back then? Why does the colonel seem to be afraid to mention the battle of the year, is this Eastern Empire stronger than our British Empire? ”

The second lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the two huge machine guns behind him, and his emotions became excited again: "Soldiers, look at our results, under the guns of our powerful English Empire, no one can stop us. ”

"That's right, that's it, it should be said that no one can stop the rain of bullets from the continuous firing of one hundred and fifty rounds of our Grimm machine guns. Look, this is a gift from heaven to the British Empire! ”

"yes, I love that old man Green, he's a genius!"

"I don't believe that there is anyone else in the world who can invent such a great weapon, and even if there is, it is not now. And now, it's the stage for our British Empire to perform to its heart's content. ”

The soldiers responded enthusiastically to the second lieutenant's words, and one by one they looked more excited than the second lieutenant.

They came to the East as an advance party this time, and it is said that they had a special mission.

For these young soldiers who came to the East for the first time, they were at first apprehensive.

Although I don't know very well, I have heard more or less about the defeat of the British Empire in the East ten years ago.

Because of that, they will have those nervous emotions.

However, after capturing a dozen primitive islands and fighting several battles with the navies of the Eastern Empire, their confidence returned to their chests.

The Eastern Empire is not so remarkable.
