Chapter 121 Meetings of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

"The investigation just now came out, and several officers from the 'door' of the Equipment Management Department are now gone," Qian Longzhou's voice came from the phone, and the mobile phone in Du Yande's hand almost fell to the ground, "What?" All gone? ”

"Yes, that's right, it's all gone, I'm still looking for someone, I heard that they went out to eat collectively before dark, and then they didn't come back. ΡˆΡ‰Ρˆ.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. Qian Longzhou continued, "The dormitory has also been searched, and there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal, can I send the troops out for a large-scale search?" ”

"It shouldn't be approved, you should gather all the soldiers in the barracks now, and I will consult the Joint Staff to see their opinions," Du Yande said and paused, "You have to be mentally prepared, there may be other troops to take over the internal investigation of the Foreign Legion, and this matter cannot be carried out by your Foreign Legion itself." ”

"I know, I'm going to gather all the soldiers in the barracks, do I need to lock up their weapons?" Qian Longzhou's voice was quite resolute, and Du Yande hesitated, "Except for the sentry, the weapons are all in the gun magazine, right?" No one will sleep with a gun, right? ”

"Of course not, and it's not the Xinhai Revolution, so I'm going to deliver the order for them to 'hand' back their weapons to the gun store." Qian Longzhou said this, and also paused, "Let's enter as soon as possible, if this matter is not solved early, the Foreign Legion will not be able to exert its combat power." ”

After hanging up the phone, Du Yande 'exchanged' opinions with Sun Wenbin and Yang Minghuan on duty, and informed the Joint Staff Committee of the matter.

"And such a thing?" Xiao Mingwei slapped his face on the table, "What the hell is going on with the Foreign Legion?" How long has it been? A newly created military branch is actually starting to ** now! ”

"Yes! I can't believe there's such a thing. Li Jieqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "This matter is an absolutely major event, now it's up to us to see how to deal with it." ”

"What else can be done? Let the investigation team be stationed first, and everyone will pass the test one by one. Bu Zhongfu said and patted Tang Xunliang on the shoulder, "What do you think?" ”

"Yes," Tang Xunliang immediately stood up, "to establish a joint investigation team authorized by the Joint Staff Committee, composed of veteran officers of the army, navy, and air force, to investigate this." ”

While he was talking, the 'door' of the conference room was opened, and Yuan Zhenli and He Rolling Long walked in, and everyone present could see that the clothes they were wearing were different. He Rolling Dragon was wearing an Air Force uniform with a big cap on his head, and Yuan Zhenli was wearing a flight jacket at the moment - since the last time the hundred-tongue took off and ran off the wheels, Catherine took a camera into the airport and took a lot of photos of Yuan Zhenli and Lin Jinlai who got out of the cabin.

At this moment, you can find Yang Canling for clothing materials, and you can find Xueman for design and production, don't look at the two 'women' who are pregnant 'women' at the moment, but they have endless enthusiasm for making clothes, so in just half a month, Xueman directly provided three different styles of aviator leather jackets for the Air Force to choose from, and it is still in the selection stage.

Yuan Zhenli walked to the seat, took off his flight jacket and hung it on the backrest, and then sat down, he was wearing a jumpsuit. He Yue beckoned to him, "Xiao Yuan, just got off the airship?" ”

Later, the far branch is the only enemy, and the sun is not inspected

"Well, yes." Yuan Zhenli nodded, and at the same time stood up and greeted the other officers of the Joint Staff Committee present, "Hello everyone, I'm sorry I'm late." ”

"It's okay, what's going on with the airship now? When can I pick up people in the north? Xiao Mingwei asked, Yuan Zhenli smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say, if you want to ensure safety, you have to test it for half a year, but now this is a duck on the shelves, and you have to do it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, the current situation is inevitably too anxious," He Rolling Long said and pulled out a stool and sat down, "The executive committee has directly shown us the news sent by the northbound detachment, and the situation over there is quite unpleasant, because of the lack of medical treatment and lack of 'medicine', the seriously injured have basically passed away, and food is not a big problem in the short term, but at most it will support for dozens of days." Now the northbound detachment is short of ammunition, all the bullets add up to no more than ten rounds, and the main weapons have become the spears of the militia and the captured bows and arrows, and if they encounter another surprise attack, there is no way to defend themselves. ”

"That's right, the executive committee wants us to give up some test items and go to Xinye to pick up people as soon as possible." Yuan Zhenli said, spreading his hands, "There are a lot of items that need to be tested now, such as the amount of hydrogen leaking every day, the maximum ceiling of the airship, and the hydrogen content in the living area of the airship without ventilation, which must be tested." The living and working quarters of the airship are now completely undivided by compartments, and if even one spark appears inside, the entire airship may turn into a flaming torch at any time. ”

"You're really dangerous." Tang Xunliang couldn't help but sigh, "Like a submarine, it's a big accident at every turn." ”

"That is, just like the Zhoushan submarine last time, the whole boat will be sacrificed after a hula......" Bu Zhongfu kicked Tang Xunliang under the table halfway through his words, and then realized that what he had just said was a bit excessive, and quickly changed the topic, "Then what kind of weapons are more suitable for installing on the airship?" You can't always load a bow and crossbow, right? ”

The revenge is not far away, and the ghost enemy is cold after the secret battle

"Of course it's a bow and crossbow," He Rolling Dragon laughed twice, "It's the bow and crossbow of the Senate." ”

Yuan Zhenli, the secret battle after the ghost enemy was not far away, walked to the seat, took off the flight jacket and hung it on the backrest, and then sat down, he was wearing a one-piece suit. He Yue beckoned to him, "Xiao Yuan, just got off the airship?" ”

"Not really, right?" Tang Xunliang didn't react for a while, "How much range can a bow and crossbow have?" It's only two hundred meters at best, right? At least three or four hundred meters after the airship lifts off, the bow and crossbow can't play any role, right? This kind of point lethal weapon has poor 'precision' accuracy, and it must be at least equipped with a sniper rifle to be effective from the air. ”

"People are talking about spring cannons." Bu Zhongfu laughed and slapped him on the shoulder, "The spring cannon is the most suitable weapon, smokeless and fireless, and the 'firing' range can reach seven hundred meters, and the accuracy of 'shooting' and 'fine' from top to bottom is super good, in fact, it can also be directly loaded with mortar shells, and it can fly to the enemy's head and throw it down when fighting, which is better than anything else." ”

"Hehe, that's for later, by the way, what are you calling us over for a meeting today?" Yuan Zhenli waved his hand, this divergent 'sexual' thinking continued, and he had to pull out all the Gatling cannons.

"That's the case, in the past few days, the entire Dongfang Port has been in trouble, and weapons are being smuggled." Xiao Mingwei said and handed a document to Yuan Zhenli.

Yuan Zhenli hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change, "My God, we actually started weapon smuggling here?" Or was it 'smuggled' directly from the armament department? The management of this Foreign Legion is really full of holes. ”

"How did this weapon get out of the barracks?" He Rolling Long leaned over to take a look, but didn't understand anything, and asked directly. He Yue sneered, "How else can you 'smuggle'?" First of all, the 'door' of the armament department pretended that the weapon was damaged and needed to be returned, and then sent out of the barracks. ”

"No, there is a corresponding process for the return of weapons, and the steel plant over there also has to show relevant receipts to complete the weapon scrapping process, there is no reason to 'smuggle' it out in the middle of the road, and the body number of each gun is corresponding." He Rolling Long was immediately full of questions, "At that time, a pistol of our Air Force blew up the barrel during the 'shooting' training, and the scrapping process was so troublesome that it was deadly. ”

Ship Yuanke, Science and Technology, Ship Learning, Moyang Sun Du

"There are actually leaks in this process that can be drilled," Lin Shenhe suddenly said on the side, startling several people present, "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Shenhe looked surprised, "Why can't I come?" I am from the General Armament Department, and of course I want to come and see how much of the 'smuggling' has been smuggled, and whether there are any weapons that have already flowed out, I must know something. In addition, I must understand what weapons have been leaked out, and what special processes there are, before I can evaluate the existing technology in this time and space," he said, spreading his hands, "We are not particularly worried about the weapons of metal cartridges, you must know that if we hadn't brought our own bullet production line, I am afraid that we would not be able to mass-produce metal fixed ammunition by now." ”

"So what's there to worry about?" He Rolling Long picked up the teacup and looked at it, but there was no tea in it, so he put it on the table with some disappointment. There is a top-secret meeting being held in the conference room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and naturalized citizens are not allowed to enter, so they have to pour water themselves. "If you can't produce metal fixed ammunition, there's nothing to worry about."

"That's not what I said, in fact, the replacement of weapons is often a flash of inspiration," Lin Shenhe said and pointed to the top of his head, as if a light bulb appeared on the top of his head, causing a circle of people to look over, "They now know that they can use paper shells to set ammunition, so they can reduce a lot of time in weapon loading, and the power of the bullet will be more uniform, and it will not be like before, it is obviously a situation where you are lined up to shoot, but you can't hit a few people." ”

"We have fire caps, and they can't figure out what's in the mercury." Li Jieqi leaned towards the backrest as he spoke. "As long as they hold on to the fire cap, they can't mass-produce bullets. At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the knife would use foreign guns, that is, they stuck people on the fire caps, and the foreign devils made a lot of money one or two by one fire caps. ”

"I remember I said before that the fire cap is not omnipotent," Lin Shenhe shook his head with a wry smile, "It is naturally best to have a fire cap for 'shooting' shots, the ignition rate can reach more than ninety percent, but the use of flintlock can also reach an ignition rate of about sixty to seventy-five percent, even if it is a fire rope, the ignition rate is still twenty or thirty percent." While the lack of a fire cap makes it difficult for them to 'shoot' at all, it doesn't mean they can't be used at all. Do you remember the Senate rifles we sold to the Zheng family at the beginning of the year? ”

The enemy of the land hated the war, and the lonely grandson hated it

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Xiao Mingwei was curious, and he signed and sold the guns. Lin Shenhe still smiled bitterly and shook his head, "According to the report of our spies in the Zheng family's fleet, they have made considerable modifications to the guns, most of them have been replaced with arquebus ignition, and all the ones used on the deck have been replaced with flintlock ignition. People know that the fire cap is a means to get stuck in the neck, so they directly bypass it. ”

"So?" Li Jieqi 'touched' his chin, "Then if these guns are 'smuggled' out, what threat will they have?" ”

"It's mainly rifling," Lin Shenhe still shook his head with a wry smile, "Rifling is not unusual, the old hunters in the past have already discovered the impact of rifling on the trajectory, but their biggest problem is how to embed the larger projectile into the smaller barrel, and many people even use a hammer and a through bar to knock the bullet in, so that the warhead forcibly wedges the rifling and then 'shoots'." Although this method can ensure rifling and ballistics, it is extremely inefficient, and it takes at least two or three minutes to reload a round. The main thing is that there is a hollow pit at the tail of the warhead, and a small piece of cork is filled in it, and when the gas is fired, the cork will be wedged into the pit at the tail of the Mini warhead, so that the warhead will expand and actively wedge the rifling, so as to ensure the trajectory. ”

"This principle is very simple," Lin Shenhe said and shrugged his shoulders, "The main thing is that people didn't think of it before, but if there are those craftsmen in this time and space who are more active now, it cannot be ruled out that they can figure out the principle and produce rifled bullets." We are now fighting the enemy mainly by relying on absolute superiority in range, and if the hostile forces open the rifling 'door,' we will be much more dangerous. ”

Sun Dike is far away from the investigation of the Yang hate

"In addition to rifling, the rifle itself is also technical, I am not worried about the old rifle of the Senate rifle, what I am worried about is the 1629 rifle, this rifle uses a loading mechanism based on the principle of leverage, I have seen the short musket made by the Yaning people, the workmanship is quite 'fine' and beautiful, with such a manufacturing method, it is definitely not difficult to create a lever-type rifle." Lin Shenhe said and nodded on the table, "You must know that lever rifles can use paper shell bullets, if they really make lever rifles and have rifling, we will not only fall far behind in 'shooting' range, but also in 'firing' speed." ”

"Well said!" Xiao Mingwei nodded in support, "For this reason, it is necessary for us to form a joint investigation team to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the weapons of the entire Foreign Legion. Before this incident, I could not believe that there would be weapons smuggling in the army, but now, I am a little uneasy about the arms management work of the whole army, so all the weapons of the army must go through an inventory. We'll make a list of the joint investigation team later, and we'll notify your mobile phones, so let's adjourn the meeting now. ”
