Chapter 34 Equipment Purchase(1)
"That is, you finally fooled your current family?"
"How can it be called a fool? I just used a white lie. Li Yongji shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhang Xinda, who was smoking a cigar in the video, "After all, you know, I can't tell them the truth, but they are my family and they are very close, I can't explain anything, can I." ”
"Hey, hey." Zhang Xinda leisurely spit out a smoke ring, and then continued, "I'm just wondering, what kind of Seele are you, oh, that's the story of the All-Spirit Sect, so, they really believe it?" ”
"What if you don't believe in it?" Li Yongji said, "Otherwise, how can you explain the things I conjured?" How do you explain the things I did? In fact, the people of the Qing Dynasty were more superstitious than modern people, and they believed in the affairs of the secret society, so even if my story was ridiculous, they also believed it. Actually, at this time, I just need to find an excuse for the past that I can say, an explanation for all my strange behavior, and they will themselves convince themselves and think that everything is reasonable. ”
"Well, no wonder they say that the Chinese lack logical thinking, and modern people are not easy to say, but from your experience, at least the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, logical thinking and dialectical thinking are indeed hard wounds." Zhang Xinda shook his head.
"Okay, don't talk about it, in fact, the things I did, don't talk about the Qing Dynasty, even if I was a foreigner at the time, the stories I told could make many people believe." Li Yongji pursed his lips, "Anyway, do you have to smoke a cigar in front of me?" I'm not afraid of getting lung cancer. ”
"What are you afraid of, anyway, you won't smoke my second-hand smoke, you're not a smoker, you don't know the enjoyment and pain of smokers." Zhang Xinda smiled, still snuffed out his cigar, cleared his throat and continued, "Then again, if you are looking for me now, you won't just tell me about it, right?" ”
"Of course not, I'm asking you how your weapons are ready." Li Yongji said, "Since I explained to my family, now that they have been completely tied to me, I plan to leave the business affairs to them, and as for myself, I plan to devote my main energy to training and teaching." ”
"Oh, I see, you're going to hand over all the business stuff?" Zhang Xinda frowned, "Then, what kind of secret training are you going to take someone to your heart cultivation residence?" ”
"That's right." Li Yongji said, "Anyway, I have never been very interested in doing business, and Yangxinju is close to the canal, and the waterway is very smooth, as long as they come regularly to pull the goods I provide and drop the materials I need." In this way, it can not only allow our business chain to continue, but also allow me to focus more on training and teaching, and also find something for them to do, and only my family will do transportation, which can maintain the secrecy of the base to the greatest extent, and develop my own transportation industry by the way. ”
"One person has limited energy, and I agree." Zhang Xinda nodded and said, "Your Songun policy is not wrong. Indeed, in your current situation, you should first develop the army, and with the army as a support, you can continue to play farming and climb the technology tree. ”
"You agree, then why don't you hand over the weapons I need." Li Yongji said, "I've heard you say that you want to choose weapons for a long time, after choosing for so long, there should always be a plan to come out, right?" ”
"Hehe, it's really time for you to ask, if you had asked me for a long time, I wouldn't have been able to take out the real thing, now, you come and see." After Zhang Xinda finished speaking, he took a box and put it on the table, "No, the goods sent to me by the courier company just now haven't been opened yet, I'll show you." ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xinda opened the package in front of Li Yongji, and found that it was a long box and a short box.
"Colt M1851 naval pistol, 0.36 inch caliber, that is, 9 mm caliber, is the most popular revolver of Colt Company, in the era of single-action revolver, it is one of the most mature products of Colt Company, and it is also one of the most representative individual weapons of the American Civil War, the favorite of American officers, and the most suitable pistol for Chinese." Zhang Xinda skillfully picked up the gun, and pointed to the gunpowder pot and round lead bullet box in the box, "As you can see, this is still a black powder pistol, the bullets are all packed, and a fire cap is required, so it is very troublesome to load ammunition, you need special tools, come, I will demonstrate it to you." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xinda slowly began to load lead bullets and gunpowder, then buckled the fire cap, and then closed the gun again: "Look, this is the preparation for the loading, although it is a little troublesome, but in your time, it is the best repeating pistol, the power, I will try to show you." ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xinda took a wooden board, then left the wooden board ten meters away, and pulled the trigger with a slight aim.
With six loud gunshots, Zhang Xinda finished shooting in turn, and then he took the wooden board and saw that there were six large holes in the thick wooden board.
"Well, it's good." Zhang Xinda pointed to the big holes in the wooden boards, "In fact, limited by black powder, the real Colt M1851 naval pistol in history is not so powerful, this gun is so powerful because it uses silver gunpowder in modern firecrackers, that is, potassium perchlorate with a little aluminum powder, so the power is much stronger than ordinary black powder." ”
Showing the revolver again, Zhang Xinda continued: "And you can know by looking at the workmanship of this gun that this is actually stainless steel, not a cast iron product in history at all, it is precisely because of the good workmanship, good materials, and good gunpowder, so the comprehensive power will be improved, but after all, it is not smokeless gunpowder, and the power of the improvement is limited." The seller said that the effective killing distance of this gun is 45 meters, and there is good lethality within 100 meters, but after 45 meters, the accuracy will not work. ”
"Well, it's pretty good, and it's powerful." Li Yongji nodded, "But it's so troublesome to reload, and the shooting distance is not far, are you sure you want to give me this?" ”
"Please, you're just starting out now, and it's under the banner of buying foreign weapons, so I can't get you a tall automatic weapon as soon as I come up." Zhang Xinda said, "In 1859, I believe that many foreign officers in China had this revolver, which will make your weapon less eye-catching in appearance."
And this is a sample, a pure plaything, it's my own collection, if you really equip it, it will definitely not be so beautiful, and it will not use stainless steel and plastic, but will only use ordinary steel to reduce costs.
In addition, taking into account the plain zhì of your soldiers, I will prepare for you the configuration of paper shell fixed ammunition and fire cap, in which the propellant will directly replace you with smokeless gunpowder, and the warhead will also be made into a conical bullet, so that not only the power is increased, but also the procedure of using a gunpowder pot to discharge gunpowder can be saved, and then you only need to load the fixed ammunition and put on the fire cap. This not only speeds up the reload time, but also makes it easier for soldiers with low levels of suzhì to master the usage, making it the most effective weapon for mid- and close-range self-defense. ”
"Oh, if it's a self-defense weapon, it's okay." Li Yongji nodded, "What about the main weapon?" You're not going to deal with me with this, are you? ”
"Main weapon, here!"
After Zhang Xinda finished speaking, he opened the long box, revealing a delicate long-pole rifle inside.
"Dangdangdang, please allow me to introduce that the rifle you see now is one of the most famous army weapons during the American Civil War, the Sharps rear-loading single-shot rifle!"
Zhang Xinda happily manipulated the firearm in front of him, and then continued to say to Li Yongji: "This rifle, although the rate of fire during the American Civil War was not the highest, it deserved to be the first in terms of accuracy and power, so it was the most famous rifle during the American Civil War, and it was more popular than the Spencer repeater. Not to mention the power of this gun, the most important thing is that this is a rear-loading rifled gun, which allows you to flexibly use skirmisher tactics and do not need to queue up to play shot, which is much lower for the soldier's su zhì, because there is no need to spend a lot of time in the queue, which is especially suitable for the Qing Dynasty army. ”
Closing the gun again, Zhang Xinda squinted his eyes and stroked the gun back and forth: "The one you see is the most famous Sharps M1859 carbine rifle, with a caliber of 0.52 inches, that is, a caliber of 13 mm, and six rifling lines in the barrel...... The seller said that if you use silver gunpowder, the killing distance is 925 meters, and the accuracy shooting distance is about 250 meters, and if you replace it with smokeless gunpowder, the power can be increased by 1 time. However, considering that the airtightness of this weapon is not good enough, in order to avoid danger, it is better to use silver gunpowder in the future. ”
"Well, it looks like it's okay." Li Yongji nodded, "It seems that this is the main and secondary weapons you prepared, right?" ”
"That's right." Zhang Xinda nodded, "Use Sharps for 250 meters to 50 meters, use revolvers within 50 meters, and when the time comes, each of your soldiers will have a Sharps, and then two Colt Navy revolvers, as long as you train a little, it will be a slaughter to deal with the Taiping Army, which is dominated by cold weapons." ”
"Is there only light weapons?" Li Yongji said noncommittally, "Although these two weapons are good, the Taiping army was killed by a sea of corpses and blood, and they also have cavalry and artillery...... You're not going to just equip me with these two things and get me some heavy weapons, are you? ”
