Chapter 185: Sniper Rifle
Although Sichuan and Guizhou are located in the southwest, the combined population of the two provinces exceeds 60 million, accounting for about one-seventh of China's total population. In China, a mega-political party with a population of more than 60 million will not be overlooked in any way. In addition, the establishment of a political party is a righteous and bright thing, Yan Guang did not think to hide it, and when a well-known person like Zhan Tianyou joined, he even deliberately let Shu Bao and other newspapers publicize it. Therefore, in just three or five days, the news of the founding of the Kuomintang has spread all over the country.
"This is basically the system of [***] reading talents."
This is what Song Jiaoren said to some people around him after understanding the essence of state socialism.
The news of the founding of the Kuomintang Socialist Party naturally caused quite a stir in Nanjing, because after all, a political party that actually controlled two provinces could not be ignored.
However, in terms of perception of the National Socialist Party, the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe was divided into two factions.
One of them is naturally the Song Jiaoren lineage. For Soong Jiaoren, if the presidential system advocated by Sun Yat-sen may be tolerable, then Yan Guang's National Socialism and the responsible cabinet system he advocated are simply two extremes. Therefore, within the Provisional Political Axe, Song Jiaoren's faction's criticism of the Kuomintang Socialist Party was also the most intense.
Correspondingly, however, Sun Yat-sen's faction had a lot of good feelings about the National Socialism advocated by the Kuomintang and Yan Guang. For example, in 1905, Sun Yat-sen even visited the Secretariat of the International Bureau of the Second International Socialist Party, where he met with the then chairman of the organization, Wang Dvelde (former Belgian Prime Minister), and Hussmann, the secretary of the organization, and asked for the Xingzhong Society he led to join the Second International.
Of course, in the end, Sun Yat-sen's request was denied, but this did not affect Sun Yat-sen's favorability of socialism, and in his view, state socialism, which advocated nationalism, was obviously more suitable for China than socialism alone.
As for whether the National Socialist Party would pose a threat to Sun Yat-sen or something? He will soon resign as pro tempore president. If the president is inappropriate, how can there be threats to talk about.
However, as the first formal political party in Chinese history, the emergence of the National Socialist Party has inspired Song Jiaoren a lot.
For example, although the League also made a lot of contributions in the process of overthrowing the Manchu Dynasty, the organizational structure of the League is obviously not suitable for the current era. And the future president of China will definitely be Yuan Shikai, if you fight for strength, the alliance will definitely not be his opponent, otherwise there is no need to say that the presidency will be given to Yuan Shikai, so if you want to restrain Yuan Shikai and make him not become a [***] talent reader, you must start in party politics...
"The National Socialist Party?"
Song Jiaoren stood by the window of his office, watching the sun gradually set outside the window.
"Maybe it's time to reshuffle the Alliance..."
Reorganizing the Alliance, in fact, this idea has been lingering in his mind for a long time, but Song Jiaoren himself knows very well how much resistance to the reorganization will be, after all, in the process of reorganization, the interests of some people will definitely be touched, and not everyone welcomes the reorganization.
Originally, Song Jiaoren himself was somewhat hesitant about the reshuffle, but the emergence of the National Socialist Party played a lot of role in promoting it...
After obtaining the consent of Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren first visited Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and proposed to them the idea of reorganizing the League, and after obtaining the consent of Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen, he personally visited four small parties, including the United Republican Party, the National Communist Party, the Republican Practical Progressive Association, and the National Communist Party, and persuaded these four parties.
The whole process was quite bumpy, after all, both within the League and among the four small parties, there were quite a few members who opposed the merger of the five parties and the reorganization into the "Kuomintang". However, under the vigorous promotion of Song Jiaoren, the "Kuomintang", which was supposed to appear in August, finally appeared in the world two months ahead of schedule...
At this time, Yan Guang, who did not know how much the Kuomintang played a role in the early emergence of the Kuomintang, was playing with a Mauser G98 rifle in the weapons test site outside Chengdu, of course, with a scope...
――――――――――
"That's right, Lao Liu, I didn't expect to get what I wanted out so quickly." On the weapon test field, Yan Guang first played with a sniper rifle modified from a Mauser G98 rifle, then used this gun to aim at an expression 300 meters away, and finally praised Liu Huixue on the side.
"It's all the Governor of Todu's point, otherwise it would not have been possible to develop the inferior rank in such a short time." After being a deputy governor for a period of time, Liu Hui learned that she was not as ignorant of personnel as she used to be.
Merely...
"I don't know if this is good or bad..."Looking at Liu Huixue, who was obviously more sleek than in the past, Yan Guang frowned and said in his heart.
Even so, Yan Guang was still happy when he looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand. "With such a weapon, it is also a great improvement to the combat effectiveness of our army." Saying that, Yan Guang looked at Liu Huixue. "What can be the last name of this sniper rifle?"
The scope of the gathering rifle was made by Liu Huixue with someone, and Liu Huixue himself made it during the test, so the surname of the sniper rifle can Liu Huixue come as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Because the G98 rifle has a good surname, after adding a six-fold scope, the inherent reliability and high accuracy of the Mauser rifle have been fully exploited." As he spoke, Liu Huixue pointed to a soldier not far away. "Judging from the current tests, the more skilled shooters of our army can hit the head of the target at a distance of 300 meters and the chest of the target at a distance of 600 meters when using this sniper rifle..." (The above is the data of the Mauser 98K sniper rifle modified from the 98K, and the Kar98K means the Mauser Type 1898 short carbine.) K means "kurz", which means "short" in German. The difference between the Mauser 98K and the G98 is that in addition to the shortened barrel, another difference is the change of the bolt handle, but this does not need to be explained. )
"300 meters..."Hearing Liu Huixue say this, Yan Guang asked for a few bullets from a soldier next to him after pondering for a while, and after filling the bullets one by one, he picked up the gun and fired 5 shots at a fixed target 100 meters away.
"How many rings?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, a soldier hurriedly replied loudly. "Back to the Governor, 4 10 rings, 1 9 rings!"
Hearing that he actually played such a ring number, Yan Guangzhi was quite satisfied.
But...
"I remember that those shooters some time ago, as long as they used this kind of rifle, they could almost shoot 10 rings at a distance of 300 meters..."Looking at Yan Guang in the distance, a soldier said to his companions.
Hearing his companion's question, another soldier whispered in reply. "Don't you know? The matter of the bad marksmanship of the Governor has long been known in the military and political axe..."
Not knowing that there were two soldiers arranging themselves in the distance, Yan Guang smiled at Liu Huixue after throwing the rifle to Yue Chang. "You did a good job this time, and it was not in vain that I promoted you to the position of deputy governor."
Hearing Yan Guang say this, Liu Huixue hurriedly smiled modestly.
"By the way, how many guns can your factory produce every month?"
Hearing Yan Guang ask, Liu Huixue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. "I don't know how to answer this lowly position, I can only say that if I am lucky, I can produce 50 of these rifles in a day, but if I am unlucky, I am afraid that I will not be able to produce even one of them..." When producing this rifle, we always choose the best barrel, because this rifle has an extremely long combat distance, and the quality of the barrel can deviate greatly from even the slightest flaw..."
At this time, there is no need for future generations, such as a simple thing as a barrel, the products produced in a batch will have a lot of deviations from each other, and the requirements for the barrel of the sniper rifle are very high, so Liu Huixue can only wait until the factory produces a good quality barrel before he can modify a sniper rifle. Then, just like Liu Hui said, everything depends on the heavens.
Of course, Liu Huixue can also make a living, but in this way, it's okay to say that when it's 1 or 200 meters, it's terrible when it's 3 or 500 meters...
Yan Guang also went to the arsenal to see it, and knew that the production equipment there may be the most advanced in this era, but in later generations, it could not even be called backward, if I had to say anything, I could only say that the equipment of the arsenal was stronger than the handicraft workshops in Afghanistan...
In fact, Yan Guang will let Liu Hui learn from them to get a sniper rifle, which is also related to the production equipment of the arsenal.
Yang Kai once told him that the arsenal could only produce 50 Mauser G98 rifles per day.
50 poles, only 1500 poles in a month, this number can only meet the needs of 2 battalions, and even an ordinary infantry regiment cannot meet them. Again, if calculated at this rate, it will take at least half a year to reequip a division.
Half a year, only a little more than 10,000 Mauser rifles were produced?
You must know that the current Sichuan Army has 5 divisions, and when the ordnance ordered by the British and German foreign companies arrives, the size of the Sichuan Army will be expanded to 10 divisions. A unit of 10 divisions needs at least 100,000 rifles, and if you add reserves, 120,000 is already the minimum requirement. As for more than 10,000 strokes in half a year or something, at most it can only be said that it is better than a drop in the bucket.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Guang will ask Liu Huixue to get the sniper rifle out.
That's right, more than 10,000 rifles are really not enough for the Sichuan army of 10 divisions, but what if it's a sniper rifle? Unlike ordinary infantry, even 1,000 men are a terrifying force for a sniper...
