"Shoot me!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Dozens of people began to shoot in the distance, but the situation of these shots was not too optimistic, and when he finally looked at the hit rate, Shi Sizhong's face was not very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sixty people, only three shots hit the target? Everyone else missed? Shi Sizhong couldn't help but complain.
However, the Chilean instructor would not save face for Shi Sizhong, and said directly: "Mr. Shi, I think you are mistaken, these people are all off target." If you look at these bullets, they are all inserted diagonally, not from the front. So in terms of ballistics, these bullets are coming in from the side. So, these bullets are actually when someone else shoots, and then shoots at someone else's target. So, this shows that none of the sixty people hit the target, and all of them missed the target! ”
Shi Sizhong's old face turned red, how could such a soldier fight? You must know that these soldiers are all planned to be trained as important officers and the middle class in the army in the future, so if the city is so poor, how can it become an elite army? If it's just like that, how can you fight?
"Mr. Shi, you don't have to worry too much, these soldiers are actually just workers who have just put down their tools. It's good that they can be at the level they are today. Good marksmanship is fed with bullets, and as for what is said to be born to shoot accurately, this is impossible. And even if there are some, but they are all people who can't affect the situation of the battle. Therefore, real soldiers must go through long-term training, and only by letting them all use guns for training, can they be able to shoot well in marksmanship, otherwise it is impossible to shoot accurately by relying on their appearance. So, I guess after a lot of bullet training, that should be a good level. If I am given three months, twenty rounds a day, so that I can bring their marksmanship up to the level of the regular army. The Chilean instructor said.
Shi Sizhong breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that a large number of bullets were to be used to practice marksmanship for soldiers, Shi Sizhong was helpless. This large number of bullets means a lot of wealth! If there are no bullets, how can there be soldiers? As for bullets, they cost money to buy, so what they lack at the moment is bullets. If you want to have bullets, you have to have money, so you have to find a way to make money. Although there is no shortage of saltpeter in Chile at present, there is a great lack of industrial production of bullets.
Shi Sizhong once heard some African warlords complain that they can produce all kinds of rifles in Africa, and even many firearms can be produced, but they just can't produce bullets. The technical content of bullets is much higher than that of rifles, especially those of metal cartridge cases, which are much more technical than firearms. Therefore, in later generations, there are more than 100 countries that can make guns, and basically every country can do more. Even many ordinary folk workshops can make their own guns.
However, it is easy to make guns and it is too difficult to make bullets, even if in later generations there are only about 20 countries that can make their own bullets, which is almost the country in the world with sufficient industrial systems. It is not easy to manufacture bullets, although the price of bullets is low, but it represents the entire industrial system. So when Shi Sizhong went to Africa to resell all kinds of logistics materials, those African warlords once complained that it was not difficult for them to make guns, but they could not make bullets, so they were subject to those foreigners.
"Bullets, it seems that there must be an industrial system behind it, so this must be solved in a way. In the current era, it is impossible to develop a complete industrial and educational system by relying on China's own capabilities, and it can only rely on foreign countries to help. France can be used for the time being, after all, I can only choose France at the moment. It is easier for the French to open up to the outside world, and it is not as complicated as in Germany. If I go to Germany, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to cram a large number of people into studying abroad. And France is not necessarily much worse than Germany. Although France lost the Franco-Prussian War, it does not mean that France is completely weak. It is not necessary to pursue the world's first army. France has the advantage that although neither the navy nor the army are the first in the world, they are the second in the world. If you go to France, you can learn the navy and army at once, but if you go to Germany, you will inevitably offend Britain. But if you go to England, you will inevitably offend Germany. In this way, the navy and the army can only learn the same, and it is better to go to France than to do so, although they are both second, but they are not much worse. Shi Sizhong thought.
Shi Sizhong doesn't plan to go to Germany or the United Kingdom, according to the path of many online novels, he usually goes to Germany or the United Kingdom. But Shi Sizhong planned to go to France, because the French Navy and Army were second, so it was a good choice, and he could learn the Navy and Army at one time. And in terms of industrial technology, it is not necessarily worse than Germany and the United Kingdom, after all, the gap between them will not be too big in many troubled countries.
What Shi Sizhong wants is not the world's No. 1 army and the world's No. 1 navy, but the balanced development of the navy and army. Being too distinctive is tantamount to exposing your weaknesses to the enemy. The British navy was very strong, but their army was very poor, and even Bismarck said that if the British army landed, Germany would send police to arrest them. However, Germany's navy was very weak and could not effectively develop abroad.
France happens to be the second in both cases, although it is not the second in sight, but it is the most stable, and there is no absolute weakness. Although Germany lost the Franco-Prussian War, it did not mean that it would perish. If Germany had the ability to destroy France, then why didn't they? It shows that they don't have the ability, and they can only make France cede land and pay compensation.
And according to Shi Sizhong's speculation, why France was so weak back then was actually because of the civil strife in France that year. There was an uprising and revolution in France that year, and in the end, the Germans took advantage of this opportunity to extort a lot of benefits. The French, in order to settle domestic affairs as soon as possible, had to agree. But the Germans also knew that if they continued to persecute the French, then perhaps all the forces in France would unite against the Germans, so that they would not gain more than they lost, but would force the French in the midst of civil strife into unity.
Therefore, in addition to the strength of the Germans, the French civil strife factor has to be said to be an important reason. Therefore, the French army is not as bad as most people think, and the French army in the civil strife of that year can play two out of ten percent of its combat effectiveness. Isn't it a joke to count on the combat effectiveness of the army in the event of civil strife in a country?
