Li Zhe saw that Ma Zhong finally gradually entered the urn, and he was proud in his heart, but he said,

"Actually, there is nothing, but I watched the drill of the officers and soldiers today, and I have some thoughts in my heart."

"Oh? Some thoughts? Ma Zhong was surprised, Li Zhe's tone, could a graduate of a state school like Li Zhe still say something about the drill of the Japanese army.

As a veteran, he didn't believe it in his heart. In fact, if you don't join the army, you don't know that the current army is becoming more and more professional, and training, logistics, and marching are becoming more and more specialized, that is, it is difficult for them, professional officers, who are mixed in the army all day long, to command many complicated affairs.

Just like in the past, those scholars wanted to point fingers at the war with what they learned in a little book, it was just a joke, the times have changed, and in the past, a few scholars could fantasize about strategizing after reading a few military books, and the decisive battle in YY thousands of miles away no longer works.

Li Zhe just watched a military exercise, and it seems that he can see something, but that's all, some ideas? What does Li Zhe want to do, does he really want to be able to make some changes to the military exercises and achieve better results? Of course, Ma Zhong disagreed.

Then Ma Zhong listened to Li Zhe and said,

"I wonder if Ma Dutou has heard of the flint flint?"

"The flint fire gun, the flint fire gun, is it also called a self-generated fire gun." Ma Zhong replied in wonder.

"Yes!"

Li Zhe's eyes lit up and said:

"It's a self-generated firebolt, and I found that the self-generated firebolt has a lot more advantages than the current firebolt."

looked up at Ma Zhong and continued,

"Self-generated firebolts, one is fast, no need to serve the fire rope, and the other is easy to operate, with flint fire, there is no need to train dozens of complex decomposition actions like now, the action is reduced, there are naturally fewer errors, and the training is much easier. The soldiers will also be freed from the heavy training of firearms. ”

Ma Zhong looked at Li Zhe without any expression, everyone knew what Li Zhe said, but the shortcomings of the self-generated fire gun were also obvious, otherwise it would not have been possible to not talk about changing the gun until now.

Li Zhe continued:

"Also, because of the current action of the fire rope operation of the fire gun, the smoke released, the soldiers cannot get too close, resulting in the soldiers standing on the same horizontal plane are not dense enough, and the fire is not concentrated enough......"

When Ma Zhong heard this, he finally heard some taste, which is what officers who really know how to value.

The so-called battle only needs three shots, and the most important thing for the firearms array to fight against the grassland cavalry is the firepower that can be released per unit area, which is the key point for the firearms to face the cavalry impact head-on on the grassland.

The most important thing is that the gun array cannot resist the impact of the cavalry alone, and the shooting accuracy of the arquebus is too poor, so it can only rely on the fire of the gunners to enhance the efficiency.

But if the firepower is concentrated and the surface of the blow is enough, then the situation will be completely reversed, and the sparse cavalry of the steppe cavalry will not be able to rush in front of the firecrackers, so that a continuous blow can be formed, and the dense volley of firecrackers can become the decisive force that truly dominates the battlefield. And not as it is now, where the output of fire can only be carried out with the cooperation of spearmen and artillery.

How exciting it must be to have a battlefield like that, with thousands of flintlock pistols dominating everything, but there is one thing that is not feasible.

"We all know the benefits of self-generated firearms, who doesn't want to use more convenient firearms, but the firing rate of self-generated firearms is not high, and they always can't hit, so what's the use of it on the battlefield."

Ma Zhong retorted.

"Then Brother Ma, you're lagging behind," Li Zhe said with a smile, "The current self-generated fire gun is not like before. In the past, the self-generated fire gun was mainly because of the problem of reed steel, and the storage force was not enough, so the firing rate could not be guaranteed, but now in the past few decades, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen has improved a lot.

Today's steel, when used in the reed of the self-generated fire gun, can be used to make excellent quality reeds, used to make the self-generated fire gun, the firing rate is much higher than before, only one shot in eight or nine rounds does not sound, such a firing rate, is enough to go to the battlefield.

"Only one out of eight or nine rounds doesn't make a sound? Such a self-generated fire gun is indeed sufficient. Ma Zhong muttered. Only, then, according to what you say, wouldn't all the firebolts be replaced by firebolts? ”

"Ah! Brother Ma thought the same way. Li Zhe finally persuaded Ma Zhong, and he was very high-minded, "Actually, it should have been changed a long time ago, but it was only because the corpse of the superior was delayed until now, and the generals above could not keep up with the times, and they could not foresee the changes brought by the technological progress to the war of the times."

Modern warfare is now closely related to the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and any change in technology will be directly reflected in the change of military tactics, and the improvement of the craftsmanship of craftsmen means better muskets, better artillery, and the power of guns and artillery will increase exponentially, and the pattern of the entire war will naturally change accordingly. ”

Brother Ma, you can imagine that the firecrackers with their own firearms can shoot faster and more accurately, and when they get to the battlefield, they shoot in rows, at that time, the bullets are raining down and endless, and the enemy can't get close at all, so where can you use spearmen? ”

Ma Zhong listened leisurely, he still couldn't imagine what it would be like to use the self-generated firearms on the battlefield that Li Zhe said. The army on the battlefield, consisting only of musketeers, seemed unimaginable to the officers of this era, but according to common sense, such an outcome was quite possible.

"And if we put another dagger on the muzzle, so that our musketeers also have some melee ability?"

"Yes! How not? ”

Ma Zhong was simply conquered by Li Zhe's whimsy, yes, why can't he also install the spear on the firecracker. In this way, doesn't the fire gun become a spear?

The firecrackers can turn into spearmen at any time, using one body for two purposes, that scene, it's really drunk to think about!

Li Zhe's mouth was still gushing:

"And the progress of technology, not only that, the current steel, modern processing technology, can not only make a usable self-generated firearm, but also can make the barrel of the firearm thinner, the wall of the tube thinner, so that the whole firearm in the case of ensuring power, but also become lighter, easier to operate, in the same time, the rate of fire is twice the original, but also to reduce the load of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can carry more bullets, have better action, such firecrackers, do you say powerful?

Think about it, rows of thousands of musketeers, lined up in an array forward, like a glimpse of the fire-breathing Great Wall, constantly rushing forward, such musketeers, who else can resist! ”

Ma Zhong is simply about to be conquered by Li Zhe's fantasies.

Now he no longer dares to say that Li Zhe knows nothing about war, just based on Li Zhe's speech just now, his understanding of the use of the tactics of the firecrackers is already ahead of the times, if the self-generated firecrackers are really as sharp as Li Zhe's speech, then everything he said is really likely to succeed!

Ma Zhong didn't know that what Li Zhe said was actually just something that had been proven in the future, and Li Zhe was just following the track of history to accelerate its realization.

"Are the self-generated firecrackers you said that so good?"

After the ecstasy, Ma Zhong still retained some reason and asked the most crucial questions.

Li Zhe smiled and replied:

"Then it's not simple, I have already ordered such a fire gun to be made, Brother Ma, why don't you come with me to see it with your own eyes?"
