Chen Dingtian talked to these two beauties about business, which was preliminarily finalized. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFor these two twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old beauties, Chen Dingtian doesn't have so many taboos. For future generations, a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen is not old, but in fact, she is the most suitable, mature and attractive age. Chen Dingtian does not refuse all kinds of beauties, except for Lori's Lori under the age of eighteen, it is definitely eaten by those who are sent to the door. Of course, it's not that he doesn't like Lori, but because the laws of various countries are too pitiful and not uniform, so he has to be cautious.

The twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old beauty royal sister is actually very beautiful. This may be a difference in aesthetics, maybe later generations know how to appreciate the charm of those women around thirty years old, and for the ancients, they preferred Lori. It is even said that the two women, Hong Xuanjiao and Feng Yuniang, were actually very embarrassing in ancient times. Because the status is too high and too strong, I'm afraid it's hard for a man to like it. Chen Dingtian doesn't mind, anyway, it's just twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it doesn't matter. As for the wealth given to them, it will still flow into their own hands in the future, and it will not be too much of a pity.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Fu Shanxiang asked you to go back!" A herald said.

Chen Dingtian saw this and had to hurry back in a carriage. Along the way, he rushed back to Shanghai, and Shanghai is now the world of the Heaven and Earth Society, so naturally there is no need to worry about the Manchu interception.

"Shanxiang, is there any good news?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Fu Shanxiang replied: "Of course, it's good news, great news. We have just produced the first rifle of our own production, which we made ourselves. Although we still rely on imports for raw materials, we have already succeeded in producing a rifle ourselves. ”

Chen Dingtian also immediately smiled, of course he would not know how important it is for a country to be able to produce its own weapons. How sad it is that a country cannot even produce its own weapons, cannot produce all kinds of weapons on its own, and cannot fully own its own intellectual property rights. Chen Dingtian has also helped translate many technical documents, and he is not completely ignorant of science. Although he may not understand the specific principles, he also has a good understanding of conventional scientific knowledge, and even some confidential documents have been read and translated.

When a country produces its own weapons, that has a huge impact on the country's national security. There was a joke in later generations, that is, the Indian Asans could not even produce bullets. Those Indian soldiers are reluctant to use bullets produced in their own country, and even foreign planes have been repaired by Indian aircraft repair plants, which will inevitably crash, and it is a matter of time.

Don't look at the Indians so arrogant, but most of their weapons cannot be produced by themselves. There is even that Korean, although the Koreans claim to be very powerful in civilian technology, and even Samsung often grabs the share of electronic products in the international market. But if you want to talk about military products, strategic products related to national security, then this South Korean scumbag is terrible. Even their best naval warships are really produced domestically as a shell, and other components are produced in foreign countries. This kind of navy, a navy that can't even build its own ships, is that a navy?

As for what airplanes or something, the same is true. The most important national defense and security of a country is heavy industry, and heavy industry is embodied in the military industry, that is, it must be able to produce as much as possible. And the most important thing is to have complete independent intellectual property rights, and it is a device that can be produced to ensure its own national security. Otherwise, no matter how economically developed you are, then you will not be a fat pig slaughtered by others.

Before, I relied on imports, and there was no way to produce my own weapons, but now that the first weapon has finally been developed, and I have my own first gun, will it be far away? As long as there is a first one, there will be a second gun, and there will be more and more in the future, until they can truly arm their own army independently.

Chen Dingtian came to the so-called Huangpu Military Academy next to the Huangpu River, and the guards outside the door hurriedly saluted. Chen Dingtian showed his entry and exit documents in accordance with the rules and went in smoothly. As for talking about the bloody dramas in film and television dramas, and saying that the guards are not allowed to enter without documents, such a thing did not happen.

Chen Dingtian walked in and soon began to see those officers and soldiers inspecting this rifle, especially the dozen or so rifles that had just been produced. And Bismarck, who was the head of education at the military academy, also watched the training of these soldiers here.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A squad of soldiers shoots with this rifle, and it feels like the effect is not bad.

"Mr. Chen, this rifle is really good! You Chinese workers are very hardworking, very industrious, and you can make rifles so quickly. It's amazing! Really, it's been a lot faster than I thought! Bismarck said.

Chen Dingtian is actually a layman in military affairs, he only understands some high-level military theoretical knowledge, but on the contrary, he does not understand those low-level tactics. It is precisely because he knows this that he will not rush around and command the troops, he knows that he is not this material, so he will not be stupid to command the troops to fight.

In Chen Dingtian's eyes, this rifle is also very good.

"Mr. Chen, this rifle is the technology used by the workers of our technical school to study and can be used to produce this rifle. This rifle is an imitation of a foreign breech-loading rifled rifle, and it is a very good kind of rifle. And according to Mr. Chen's suggestion, we directly used Mini's pointed bullets, so that our bullets could be easily stuffed into the chamber. Since we have already produced rifles, bullets are no longer a problem. Bullets are well produced, as long as the rifle is solved, then everything is solved! ”

Chen Dingtian immediately began to be careful, maybe for people in this era to produce rifles, then everything will be worry-free. Because the current bullet uses a paper shell bullet, not a metal bullet case. People in this era thought that it was more difficult to produce a rifle than to produce a bullet, and thought that if a rifle was produced, the bullet would not be a problem.

But as a post-life traveler, he understands the problem very well. Perhaps many military laymen think that it is more difficult to produce guns than bullets, but those who really know a little about the military industry know that it is much more difficult to produce bullets than to produce rifles. The difficulty of producing a gun may be considered high by many people, but in fact, many ordinary hardware factories can produce guns. In fact, the difficulty of making guns is really not too simple, it is completely difficult for future generations to come, and it is not difficult for those who will not know, and almost many technicians can make them directly.

However, bullets are different, and the production of bullets is very difficult, especially in the future development of bullets. In later generations, there were statistics that there were almost more than 100 countries that could produce rifles, covering almost all countries of a certain size. Excluding the so-called pocket-sized countries, that's pretty much any country that can produce guns.

But those that can produce bullets are more than 20 countries. To be able to produce bullets is amazing. Therefore, Chen Dingtian attaches great importance to bullets, far more than to rifles. The production of rifles is nothing, the future is the world of bullets. The three major artillery planes of India and Afghanistan can barely be produced, but the bullets still have to be imported from foreign countries, which can be imagined how sad it is.

"It seems that the corresponding scientific research forces should be mobilized to study the bullet of this metal shell. In this way, metal cartridge shells are the mainstream of the future, especially this metal cartridge case is the most important development trend in the future, if nothing else, Western countries have not developed it at present. In particular, rifles are still the main combat weapons in this era, and the war in this era is still dominated by rifles, so the excellence of rifles determines the vast majority of the combat effectiveness of the army's weapons. If we get the bullets out later, then we can have a big advantage. ”

However, Chen Dingtian saw this Bismarck, and he obviously didn't plan to tell Bismarck the news, because he knew very well that these foreign devils could be used, but he definitely couldn't trust it completely. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, don't look at these foreign devils to help him now, but in fact, to put it mildly, Chen Dingtian would rather believe in the Manchurians than completely trust these foreign devils. Because in fact, the vast majority of the low-level Manchu banner people have recognized themselves as Chinese, and the vast majority of the low-level Manchu banner people have already considered themselves Chinese, and even the non-racial aspect is yellow-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed, so Chen Dingnaïve would rather believe in the Manchu banner people than believe in these foreign devils.

It is not without conditions for these foreign devils to help him, and the condition is to open the market. However, although this Chen Dingtian currently plans to communicate with the outside world, he will not open the market unconditionally, he just plans to use them in exchange for some technology, and then regain the market again in the future.

As a country that has just started to develop, it is difficult to have a chance to develop rapidly if foreigners are not allowed to eat some. When necessary, some floating wealth can be sacrificed in exchange for the foundation of future development. If foreigners are not allowed to eat some floating wealth in the Chinese market at all, as long as it does not involve the core sovereignty and territory of the country, then if it is just some floating wealth, it may not be impossible to negotiate a range that is acceptable to everyone.

But if it is related to the core interests of the future, it must not be sold. Although Chen Dingtian may not understand the technical principles of this future development trend of weapons, he understands the "trend" of this development very well. This trend may seem vague, but it may not be easier than those technologies.

Some scientists have achieved nothing in their lifetimes, while others have achieved a lot of success at a young age. In addition to personal talent, the direction of research is also an important issue. In many cases, science is just a layer of window paper, and once it is pierced, then there is no secret to speak of, and it is easy to come out. However, once the research is in the wrong direction, then maybe a scientist's life will be in vain. It's so cruel, if you find the right direction, it's actually far more important than a lot of specific science and technology. Knowing the future of science is more important than any technology.

These foreigners don't know the future of science, so naturally they won't understand the problem. But Chen Dingtian knew that of course he wouldn't tell these foreign devils so honestly. At present, it is still several years before the British have developed a metal bullet case, although the British may have "set up a project", but this is all secret. If you can catch up as soon as possible, I dare not say that we can catch up with the British, after all, the current British are already well-established and not so easy to catch up. But not too far behind, becoming the second army to use metal cartridge bullets, that is not completely impossible.

It doesn't matter if you're not as good as them in terms of bullets, but you can think about catching up in other areas.

"Mr. Chen, you're off to a good start. But I don't think the current number and quality of workers alone can really meet the needs of your growing army, right? According to my estimates, your full-time troops in Zhejiang and Fujian have exceeded 200,000. And of these 200,000 people, only about 50,000 really have rifles, and even many of them use the guns you seized from the Qing army, and there is no way to compare them with our Western rifles. As for the militia in reserve, most of them did not have rifles, and most of them used those cold weapons. So, you should be buying rifles in bulk now, right? Bismarck asked.

Bismarck actually hoped to move Chen Dingtian and Prussia to purchase rifles as soon as possible, so that they could get a great stimulus to Prussia. According to Bismarck's budget and according to Chen Dingtian's current army size, at least 200,000 rifles must be purchased. Two hundred thousand rifles were enough in the present era to feed Bismarck and Prussia behind him. If it were really necessary to purchase two hundred thousand rifles, it would definitely be of great use to the industrial stimulus of Prussia. Even at present, the troops under several women of Chen Dingtian have 200,000 full-time armed forces alone. Even if the reserve militia does not use all firearms, there must be at least some corresponding basis, and at least ten people should have a gun. This is still undercounted, and it is very possible that more than 400,000 rifles will be purchased in the future. Bismarck, of course, did not want to let go of this huge market, he had long wanted to be tempted.

Therefore, he came to urge Chen Dingtian, hoping that Chen Dingtian could buy this Prussian firearm as soon as possible, and then make corresponding contributions to Prussia's industrial and economic development. (To be continued.) )
